BEAUTIFUL FOREST
TO Be CONSERVED
Forest Service Examines lI,00O
Acre Shafter=HOward
Estate

At the request of one of the owners
the forest service has recently made
an examination of the 11AOO acre
Shafter- Howard estate in Marin county
This estate comprises the main por-
ton of an old Spanish grant in 1886,
and is at present owned jointly by
Stanford university, the o. L Shafter
estate and the estate of c. w. Howard
1t is one of the most beautiful nat
ural forest tracts in this vicinity, con-
tanning a large amount of Douglas fir
and redwood timber, mixed with live
tanbark and white oak, madrone, buck
eye and alder. About 500 acres has
been cut over for cordwood and $40
acres additional for tanbark. About
1000 acres of uncut woodland still
remains.
In making recommendations regard
ing the future management of this
area the forest service has emphasized
the extreme Importance of adequate
fire protection. Instituting system
of fire lanes and fire patrol was rec
commended, also the piling and burn
ing of brush resulting from cutting.
Ihe forester also suggested the saw
ing of considerable waste in utiliza-
ton by requiring low stumps to be
cut, three feet for redwood and 16
inches for hardwood, and that all
sound trees be used to a top diameter
of three inches in the cordwood cut
ting
The great natural beauty Of the
tract, its beautiful streams and can
yons, the splendid views of the nearby
country and the ocean from its ridges,
the fact that it is the largest remain
ing uncut stand of redwood in this
vicinity and its ready accessibility to
the people of San Francisco and vi
cinity make it a very desirable loca-
tion for a park. West peak of Mount
Tamalpais, the highest peak in the
vicinity Of San Francisco, is located
on the south end of the tract.

SHEEP DISEASE IS
NEARLY WIPED OUT
Forest Service Aids State Of
ficiais in Fighting the
"Seat" Malady

WASHINGTON, June 12.-During the
grazing season of 1909 the forest serv-
ice viii again cooperate with the
bureau OF animal industry and the
state officials in efforts to stamp out
the disease known as scab which ex-
lists among the sheep in number of
the western states and territories. This
work has been carried on by the bu-
reau of animal industry for several
years past. The forest service has en-
deavored to assist the bureau, as well
as the state authorities. in enforcing
the law by refusing TO admit any sheep
on a national forest within the pro-
scribed states that We're not aceon.-
panied by a certificate of inspection
signed by an inspector of the bureau
of animal industry to the effect that
they were free from the disease or
had been dipped in accordance with the
regulations OF the bureau.
In nearly all of the western sheep
raising states the state boards, charged
with protecting the health of the live
stock, have been very active in sup
pressing this disease, and between the
bureau of animal industry, the state
authorities and the forest service it
has practically been wiped out of many
of the states and greatly reduced in
the others.
During the season of 1909 the work
viii be continued in the states of Colo
rado, Utah, Nevada. California and the
territories of New Mexico and Arizona
and it is hoped that at the close of
this present year the results will be
so satisfactory that considerable parts
of this area may also be pronounced
free from the disease and relieved
from quarantine restrictions. Wher-
ever it has been found necessary to
burn the corrals, counting chutes and
other improvements on a range which
were possibly infested with this dis
ease. the material for new ones has
been furnished to the stockmen free OF
charge by the forest service.
