HIGHWAY THROUGH FORESTS.
National Forest Service Makes Appro.
Prlatlon Of Large Sum for
Good Roads.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Las vegas.-Now that the United
States forest service has announced
Its appropriation Of funds derived
from the sale OF timber, TO be used
for the construction of reads through
the various national forests, Las We
gas boosters are urging the completion
of the scenic highway connecting Las
Vegas and Santa Fe. AS is known,
this road is already built for many
miles, beginning in Santa Fe and Las
Vegas and ending in the Pecos noun
tains. 1t would net require a great
amount of work TO finish the road
With the funds available. The surveys
oh have been made and although the
route is a rocky one, it is not expect
ed to present any more difficulties
than those sections of the highway al
ready constructed and in use.
The following, from Albuquerque,
will explain the appropriation made
by the forest service for the purpose
Of building good roads:
Albuquerque. - The forest service
this year will spend s11 ,S501S in New
Mexico and S24,645.77 in Arizona on
roads.
This expenditure was made posi-
BILE by q provision tackled on the ap.
preparation bill by the last Congress
that ten per cent of the gross receipts
of each forest be spent on roads with
an the forest. Ten per cent of the
gross receipts received by the. ser
; vice from Arizona forests is s24,645,T
and ten per cent Of the receipts from
New Mexico forests is S11,S5013. The
difference in the sums received by the
two states is due to the fact that the
Arizona receipts were morG Ethan
twice as great as New MexicC's.
This ten per cent is in addition to
the twenty-five per cent that the ser
vice has for several years been giving
states for the maintenance of roads
End schools, and means that a total of
thirty-fiye per cent of the receipts Of
the service are returned to the state.
Probably the major part of the funds
for this state and Arizona will be put
i;,to changing grades on mountain
reads. building bridges and digging
bitches. and making culvorts to drain
roads. The drainage question is i'm
pcrtant to mountain roads.
A tentative allotment of New Mex
loo's ten per cent has been made by
the service. Here is the amount each
forest will get for its roads:

when food is almost impossible for then
to obtain. The work of cutting this ha,
will be done under the supervision of tn,
assistant chief game protectors, who will
go to the Adirondacks Immediately. Tn,
hay will be cut, raked, stacked and bound
The binding is made necessary becaus,
if the hay were loosely stacked the deel
would scatter it over the ground at the
feeding, and it would be covered witt
snow and become unavailable.
The sum of $500 has been appropriated
for each of the three divisions or blocks
of protectors in the Adirondacks-the
northern, the eastern and southern. The
question of sailing the hay was discussed
at the meeting. Mr.. Nichols, division
chief, opposed sailing because it would
virtually provide a salt lick the following
year, and perhaps for several years. The
making of such salt ticks, the game pro-
tectors said, would permit unprincipled
hunters to easily stalk the deer and would
be equivalent to restoring an old practice
which has long been considered unsports-
manlike and is declared by the present
statute to be illegal.
In past winters the deer of the Adiron-
dacks have been great sufferers. Only
deer on private preserves have been fed
during the winter months, and the NOR
tally from starvation in the last decade
has been heavy. Last winter was not
so severe as the winters of other years,
because the snowfall was comparatively
light and did not compel the animals to
yard up for any length of time. They
ran free practically the entire season.
The winter of 1911 was particularly de-
structive to deer. A crust frequently
formed on the snow that was not heavy
enough to hold the weight Of the deer and
was severe enough to impede their for
aging. The question of feeding deer dur
ing the winter months has been repeatedly
agitated, but this is the first time that
the experiment has received official sane
ion.
The objection is raised that providing
feeding grounds is likely to es-
tablish easily identified stations where
native hunters will be encouraged to-
illegal shooting, much of which is now
said to be common during the winter
Native guides of the Adiron-
dacks recite numerous instances of deer
being starved by the score. They tell Of
instances where deer have congregated in
