GRAZING RULES
NOT ALTERED
Number of Cattle and Sheep Al
lowed in Rainier National
Forest IL Same as Last Year.
SUPERVISOR ALLEN TELLS
OF LOSS TO THE BANDS
Bears, Coyotes and Noxious Plants
Cause a Total Loss Of Less
Than Three Hundred Out of
All the Flocks.

G. F. Allen. supervisor of the
Rainier National forest, Is in North
Yakima. for his annual meeting with
the stock men holding permits to
Craze their flocks and herds within
the forest limits. He is now taking
their applications and will remain
here for that purpose for the next
day or two. Speaking to the Herald
Mr.. Allen said:
'"The secretary of agriculture has
authorized the grazing of 1900 head
of cattle and horses and 40,0
head of sheep on che Rainier Ma
tional forest for the season of 1911.
Seasons Grazing Fees
Fees for season permits for cattle
and horses are as follows:
April Is to October 31st, cattle so
cents; horses. 40 cents.
April to October 31st. cattle. 80
cents; horses, 40 cents.
June 1 to October Is. cattle IS
cents; horses IS cents.
Year long, beginning April 1, cat
tie 45 cents: horses. 60 cents.
July / to October 81, sheep eight
cents.
Figures, numbers and fees a.
given indicate. for sheep, ewes and
their increase and the natural in
six months of age.
mo change is made In the num-
Der Of head of stock allowed within
the national forest. from the num-
bers which prevailed in 1910.
Condition Of the Range.
with regard to the range con-
dition it may be said that the spring
of 1910 was warm and on the low
range the grass matured from 10
days to two weeks earlier than usual.
The summer was exceptionally dry
and the range suffered accordingly.
Although the grass dried out very
early there was little damage by
overgrazing, because the sheep were
carefully distributed and kept within
their allotted ranges.
Forest rangers reported that zoe
head of sheep were killed by bears
and coyotes and that IS head were
poisoned by eating some noxious
plant.
Damage by Fire.
There were an unusually large
number of forest fires and although
they covered a considerable area the
actual damage to merchantable tim
Der was small. The fires ran for the
most part over old burns and the
injury was for that reason practi-
cally confined to the young growth.
The grazing work of the rangers
was interrupted by the fires. How
ever maps were made which showed
the character of the forage in all
the grazing districts.
Fifteen acres of Alpine meadow
at Tamarack Springs were fenced
and seeded as an experiment to de-
termine the advisability Of replant-
ing over grazed areas. 1t Is the in
tention to make similar experime nts
at the close of the season, on other
tracts.
