The institution has number of
bodies which were collected
from the mounds of cliff dwellers.

Joseph L. Barfoot was. a scientist
of some repute in the early days. He.
devoted all his time TO the study OF
scientific things and wrote a great deal
on the natural phenomena of the coun-'
try. In his excursions about the coun-
try he collected exhibits and in this
way greatly enlarged the museum. His
collection included canoe which was
found on The shore of the Great Salt
Lake and believed to. be the canoe
which was used by Kit Carson. the
scout and fronticrsman. before the pi-
onccrs arrived here. He started a col.
lection of coins which have been added
to- until now 1t is valued at $500, Ho
also had collection of the fauna and
flora of the county. geological spccl-
mems and minerals.
The collection was kept on exhibit la
the long old adobe house and after he
died his wife took charge of the
things and many valuable pieces We're
added to 1t. When she died
of the exhibits in order to preserve
them. Then a gentleman named Ford
was given direct charge of the muse
um and acted in the capacity OF cura-
tor for a number of years. He was
employed on the temple while 1t was
in the course of construction and
died from injuries sustained by a fall
from the first story.
Mr. John Sconeld was appointed curo-
tor OF the museum afterwards but dur
ing these years II grew slowly. When

Before President Brigham Young
died he presented the museum with tho
long barreled Kentucky rifle which he
carried on his journey across the plains.
1t was a rifle of the flint lock pattern
and was considered the most valuable
weapon which the pioneers brought
to Utah. -ff-ft fft.i
In the early days many OF the farm
Ing implements. tools. dishes and sdo-
mestic articles were of home manufac-
ture The museum has a unique col
lection OF these things which were sent
from various parts OF the territory MS
exhibits. Among this collection are
several sheets OF paper. the first manu-
facturcd west OF the Missouri river
Thomas Howard manufactured the
paper by hand and tho first Issue OF
the Deseret News was printed on II.
The paper was made out of rags, Iii
the first place the rags were torn into
strips and then ground up in ma

the rags were reduced to frag-

water A screen was placed in the
water and after being manipulated with
considerable skin. fine coating of the
rag pulp would be collected on the

about this time. the museum prospered
and became OF national rcpute tor
many of its valuable collections of
geological exhibits. The, Salt Lake
Literary and Scientific, society had
become the possosSor ofsthe collection,
and, this society proceeded TO secure
a permanent home for the museum
and raised money for tho purchase
of collections and exhibits, one OF
the most important additions made
at this time was tho exhibit of
samples of the gcode. of selenite dis
covered In Wayne county. Exhibits os
this mineral were sent all over the
country to various museums. Tnc
museum possesses numerous models OF
extinct animals. These were purchased
by, the society and arc 4 credit to the
institution
From the Templeton building the
collection was moved to fine new quar-
ters In the building on Second Nortt
street between First and Second West
streets. There the museum occupied
an entire floor and was visited by tour
lists and scientific men who passed
through Salt Lake. When the Liter
ary and Scientific society endowed the
chair OF geology in the state univer-
sity. and turned over this building and
much of its contents as part OF the
endowment fund, the exhibits were
packed and have been in storage ever
since.

result had beon accomplished the
elimination of this fertile source of
constant strife on the forests. with
property would have gone a long way
In justifying the action taken by the
government e,
n That the regulation of graz
ing on the national forests is beneficial
to the industry is now almost uni
rversally conceded. The old charge that
the service is charging excessive rates
for grazing mas for the most part dis
appeared with the demonstration of
the fact that the grazing fees on the
forests do not average more than one
third as much as the prices charged
for grazing upon private lands within
their limits or adjacent to them. When
the forests were created, they were
for the most part found to be stocked
to a far greater extent than their per-
manent carrying capacity justified.
Over stocking resulted inevitably In the
depletion of the ranges. and decreases
in the number of stock permitted be-
came necessary on many of the forests
AS result of the national forest ad-
ministration. range conditions have
steadily improved. This improve
ment has, however. occurred rath-
or in the form of an In
crease in the, weight OF the stock

protection given has enabled the stock
men to improve the grade of their
stock and raise better animals, and 1t
has lessenoh the losses from straylng

nearly 27000000 acres are located In
Alaska. The money value of the tim

ARMY OF FoRESTERS. ~.
Tho rapid growth of the forest serv-
ice may be seen from the fact that 10
Years ago the total personnel consisted
of the forester, Mr. Clifford Plnchot,
and nine others, of whom only two
were professional foresters; whereas,
at the present time, approximately 1000
people are employed, of whom go are
professional. trained foresters.
The national forests. as now estab-
.lished, conserve most of the water and
one third of the timber of the west.
Under national forest management.
loss from forest fires has been placed
almost to a minimum. amounting TO
less than per cent of the loss upon
privately owned lands. This is due en-
tirely to the. efficient system of patrol
which Is constantly carried on during
the fire season by the forest rangers.
The Loyalty and devotion of these men
in carrying on this work is beyond
praise.
On the national forests were grazed
last year million and a half of cattle
md horses and seven and a half mil
lion sheen and goats. These figures
represent respectively IL per cent and
21 per cent of the total amounts OF
these classes of range stock owned in
the west

The losses in cattle and horses arc also
very large. 1t iS not unreasonable to
estimate the total loss to all classes of
live stock at several millions of dol
lars annually. To reduce and ultimately
eliminate this loss, the forest service
has spent many thousands of dollars
in the employment of professional hunt
ers and in detailing forest rangers, for
the purpose of eXterminatlng predatory
animals The results accomplished have
been thoroughly appreciated by the
stockmen, who have also accomplished
much along the same lines.
The value of the forest as n conservcr.
and regulator of stream flow is now
quite generally recognized This is
especially true In Utah. where the
great majority of the national forests
were created upon petition of the peo-
pie affected. in order to secure the reg
ulation of grazing upon important
watersheds and thus check the I'm
the best examples of this are the Mantl
and Fillmore forests. In the case OF the

these floods severe erosion md washing

considerable areas of agricultural land
were deeply covered with material car
ricd down from the mountains. The
value of the streams for irrigation pur-
poses was greatly decreased, owing to
the fact that the melted snow from

"1HE Importance or The forest IN
the life OF the nation Is theme
the magnitude of which Is just
beginning to be realized by the
public at large. The aim of forest
management should be the fullest pos
sble utilization OF all the resources of
the forest, consistent with their perpet-
uation. The idea that the creation of a
national forest means the withdrawal
of the resources from use is a totally
mistaken one. Perpetuation by wise
use isSthe motto which must bo kept
ever in mind.
AS matter OF administration. it must
be recognized that many conflicting in-N
terests are involved. and the aim of the
forester must be to guard against al
lowing one interest to encroach unfair
ly upon others. The principal resources
connected with forest lands in the west
are timber. water, minerals and grass
and other forms of forage. OF these.
the first, second and last are TO very
considerable degree subject to control
by man, and the unwise use of one
resource may not only interfere with Its
own perpetuation but with that of 9TH
cr resources of a totally different na-
ture. For instance. anyone who has
carefully observed conditions. knows
that unrestricted grazing by any class
OF stock where there is keen competi-
tIon for the range has an inevitable
tendency to destroy not only the forage
crop Itself. reducing the carrying ca
paclty Of the ranges. but 1t injuriously
affects the amount and regularity OF
Cow of streams and In addition pre-
vents and seriously interferes with the
perpetuetion of tho forest cover by
either natural or artificial means
PRESERVATION OF FORAGE.
On the other hand, the forage crop is
natural resource Of ,immepse value,
Indispensable to the continuation OF
the live stock business. which is fully
recognized as one OF the most impor-
tant Industries OF the country. The
production of live stock for the market
Is notoriously not keeping pace with the
rapid increase In the country's popull-
tion, and 1t Is of extreme Importance
that the forage crop be utilized to the
fullest possible extent. bearing always
N mind that this use must be consist
e-t with the use and pcrpctr1tIon of
other resources named.
The necessity for some kind of out
side control TO regulate the use OF the
various RESOURCES CT the immense
mountainous and timbercd areas OF the
west led to the passage. In 1891. Of an
act authorizing the president To set
apart as public reservations. in any
state or territory, public land wholly or

FLOOD DAMAGE LEsSENBD.


Since the creation of the national
forests. according to the testimony OF
the settlers, conditions have steadily
improved. The Manti forest was Great
ed in 1903 and since that time the num-
ber of stock has been greatly reduced
and better methods of handling brought
about. Ono of the first acts In the ad-
miniStration of the forest was to totally
exclude all stock from the forks OF
Manti canyon and as result the area
is now well covered with vegetation
Since stock has been kept out of the
forks of Manti canyon, no serious floods
have occurred. On the other hand. in

and east in which stock Is graze1.
destructive floods have followed heavy
rains During August this past sum-
mer, a great amount of rain fell over
the entire area of the Mantl forest, con-
tinusng intermittently during the whole
month. At this time terrific floods
carrying with them large quantities of
mud and boulders occurred in the can
yons north. south and east OF Manti
canyon. No conclusion seems possible
other than that the Immunity of MantI
canyon from flood damage was to
very considerable extent due to the fact
that the practical exclusion of stock
had allowed the growth Of sufficient
