FORESTS DAMAGED
BY PORCUPINES

SAN FRANCISCO. March 26-Re-
ports from Bishop. Inyo county,
California, indicate that porcupines
are seriously damaging the lodge-pole
pine forests Of the eastern slope of tho
Sierras. Practically tho entire area
of the Inyo National Forest has been
affected to some extent. In many
localities the damaged trees aggregate
as high as 25 per cent. of the total
stand. While these areas are not
large. IL is evident that II something is
not done TO curb the attack, much Of
the timber in that section will be
killed.
The porcupine feeds TO a large OK
tent during the winter months upon
the inner bark of the pine. To Sc
cure this he travels about upon the
snow. and completely girdles the tree
just above the snow line. OF course,
this results I'm the death Of the tree
The damage would not be so serious
but for the fact that the porcupine
seldom makes two MEALS off tho same
tree, but prefers to visit several trees
in the course OF a night. Since its
habits are nocturnal, hunting this ami
NAL is very difficult. The attention
of the Forest Service has been called
to the ravages Of these animals. and

pleased with the outcome Of the special
convention OF the anthracite mine
workers the delegates left here for

would be no strike on April 1. They
declare that the executive board will

dent Taft can be depended on 10 ac-

justice OF the mems position.
But despite the optimistic attitude Of
the men there is a grave question re-
garding what the operators will do.
They positively declared that they
would under no circumstances recog-
nizc the union. That is the one thing
the miners want and they have aug-
gested that they win waive everything
