GirOux Men Are
Temporarily
Leaving

In the last Two days about 200
men have come down from the Gil
roux mine and cashed checks for pay
due them mp to Tuesday, when they
were laid off from work at the mill
and at the several shafts which had
forces at work during the time the
mill was in operation.
Most OF these men expect 10 leave
the district and obtain work else
where, unless they go on at McGill
or are able TO find positions with
other companies in the camp. The
latter. however. are about all full
handed at the present time, while
at McGill there are not likely to be
great many vacancies under present
settlement. Some OF the men
there have quit and left the camp
and there will probably be others fol-
low them. but the number of de-
partures does not promise to be
large
The GirouX men who are expecting
to leave are strong in their deelara-
tions that they are going to keep
close watch on the camp and return
To it whenever the opportunity for
work may afford. They like the dis
triet and expect that it will be an ex-
ceedingly busy one. employing a
great many more men than are now
on the pay roll before the end of the
year. but they do not care TO remain
idle in the camp until the increased
work comes up.

Telephone Co.
Elects For
the Year

A postponed meeting of the board
of directors and stockholders of the
White Pine Telephone Co. was held
at the company's Office last evening.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President,
Charles A. Walker, secretary and
treasurer Eugene Giles; manager,
James S. Bennett The regular rout-
inc of business was gone through and
several changes were made in the
bylaws. The most essential change
adopted was the one pertaining TO
the meetings of the company. In
the future the board of directors will
hold a regular monthly meeting, at
which time they will confer with the
manager on all policies to be adopt
ed by the company. Matters pertain
ing to new work, maintenance and
operations will be discussed at these
meetings. In an interview with one
of the directors last evening, he stat
ed that il must be apparent to all
subscribers that the service of the
company has improved greatly with
in the last few months and that it
would be the aim of Mr.. Bennett to
see that such improvements would
continue to be made
We realize that the best ad ser-
tiser We can have. is service. Dur
ing the last month Mr.. Bennett has
installed % new telephones, which
means that the phone card that we
have recently distributed to our pa
irons will soon he discarded and
regular telephone books issued in
their place.
According 10 this director, the
stockholders were very much graf
flied with the report which showed
the company 10 be out of debt and
financially in the very best of condi-
lion. The company hopes to declare
dividends during the present year.

$66S, 3.12,

At the end of the last fiscal year,
when business was heavier than at
any other time during the year, the
1872 national forests were cared for
by an executive and protective force
of 20 inspectors, SO forest superyis-
ors. 81 deputy supervisors, 33 forest
assistants, 941 rangers, 521 forest
guards and IS clerks.
The average area to each officer
theoretically available for patrol duty
was 116, 665 acres. But more than
three-fourths of the time of these
forest officers is now required by the
fast growing volume OF national for
est business, so that in point of fact
the force on duty at the close of the
year provided about one patrol officer
to each 500. 600 acres of forest. This
is considered inadequate for prorec-
ton of the forests. Until provision
is made for large increase of force
1t is necessary either to eurtail the
business arising from use of the for
ests or to neglect the proper safe
guarding of government property
against fire.
Experimental broadcast sowings
were made during the year in 81 for
ests. in the states of Idaho, Montan
Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Utah, and New Mexico. The
total area sown was 131 acres, OF
which ~ were in the Black Hills
National forest.
About 100000 trees were planted
last year on forests in the states OF
Nebraska, Kansas. Colorado. New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and
California. There are now growing
at the planting stations over 2.20V,.
900 trees which will be ready for
planting in 1909. Sufficient seed was
sown in the spring of 1908 to pro-
duce 100000 seedlings.
Besides administering the national
forests. the forest service renders,
on request. expert advice and assist
ance to other parts of the executive
government regarding the practice of
forestry. Work of this kind was
carried on several military and Indian
reservations in various parts of the
, country. Cooperative state forest
studies were carried on with Ken
lucky. Mississippi, New Hampshire
and Illinois.
The forest service conducts inyes-
mote better use of national forest
timbers, others seek results either of
general application or contributing to
the best use OF the forests of some
special region.
