TAKES ISSUE WITH FORESTER
Metaline Falls Man Disagrees as
to Agricultural Values.
Claims Large Per Cent. Tillable.

AS ls we'll known throughout this sec-
tion difference of opinin exists between
National Forest officers and homestead
ers as to the agricultural possibilities of
lands within the confines of the Forests.
Some time ago Supervisor Millar of the
kaniksu National Forest outlined the
policy of the Forest Service toward the
agricultural lands within its boundaries
and made some statements that E. G.
Rose, of Metaline Falls takes execution
to.
The statements given below in quota
tlon remarks are from Mr.. Millar's ar
ticle. The remainder from Mr.. Roses
reply to same:
'The jack pine fats have no very con-
siderable timber value, and no aericul-
tural value on account of the character
of the SOIL" Mr.. Millar also claims
that the heavily timbered white pine
lands have practically no agricultural
value. 1t is reasonable that jack pine or
white pine lands on the west side of the
river having the same climatic con-
ditions and altitude as those in the re-
serve should have the same agricultural
possibilities. Take for comparison town
ships 39N-43E, and 4ON-43E, on the
west side of the Pend Oreille north of
Metaline. On jack pine land here l
grew winter wheat five feet high, with
many kernels each. On such lands of
light, dry. sandy soil strawberries,
squash, tomatoes, string beans and
other luxuries do we'll in localities pro-
tected from frost. On lands which had
been covered with a heavy growth of
white pine in these townships the home
steaders can show you as ifne oats and
timothy as ever grew. good Yields of po-
tatoes and other vegetables, small fruits,
clover and other grasses. There is but
one honest way to test the farming pos
sibilities of any land that is by actual
cultivation for several consecutive years
by someone to whose self interest it is to
improve and make home of it and by
such test there is but small percent
age of the Kaniksu Reserve that is not
potential farming land. Subduing the

wilderness takes more everlasting sand,
more time and muscle, privation. lone
illness and also the excretion OF more
large drops of pink sweat than will ever
be fashionable in collegiate or official
circles.
Mr.. Rose further says: deny, that
microscopic tests of the raw soil in con-
ifer bearing land are anv real test what
ever. On the lower Pend Oreille elk
years ago slide caused by a mining
ditch covered the soil of about five acres
twenty to fifty feet deep with raw clay
and gravel from the mountainside above.
Today there is an orchard, garden and
meadow on that land all in good con.
dition. In the Fish creek, valley, on
the north side of the mountain, in green
timber, altitude about 1000 feet, in the
black slate bedrock of county road,
timothy grass as fine as one could wish.
This is a partial refutation of Mr.. Mil.
lars statement "that owing to steepness
of slopes and thinness of soil much land
on the reserve Is untitled for agricul-
ture." Mountain country, looked at
from distance, seems to be all bills,
but take guide and traverse the same
country on foot and you will find miles
of fiat benches and gentle slopes. There
are two or three mountain ranges in the
reserve, of too great altitude and too
steep and rocky in places to farm. but 1t
is also true that these ranges contain no
timber of value and that all the Kings
horses and all the Kings men could not
grow commercial white pine, fir or cedar
there. They have no place in reserve
not organized for administrative pur-
poses,"

Defeated by Fast Montana Teams

Newport has reason to be proud of the
record made by its 1911 base ball team.
The team has played consistent good
ball from the beginning of the season and
has to its credit string of cleanly won
victories. Not only has the team made
a good record but it's member have never
failed to comport themselves as gentle

Ramah, Colo, June 10. 1T is
estimated that not less than a
thousand acres of dry-land have
been planted in Mexican beans
in the territory surrounding
Ramah. The beans are regard
ed as a sure crop, and it is pro-
posed to make them feature of
the exhibit which this region
will have at the Dry-Farming
Congress Exposition at Colorado
Springs in October.
Mexican beans, the dark red
bean used in making Chile con-
carne, and Mexican Lima or
Horse" beans are both raised
here in quantities. They grow
in the fresh turned sod with
very little cultivation. and a
market is found for them at
Trinidad. Pueblo, and points in
New Mexico and Texas. Mex
ican beans run from 400 to 1.000
pounds to the acre. This year
they have brought in the market
from 81 to SIS a hundred pounds.
