Overgrazed Stock Ranges
Can Come Back.

Improved condition of nation
al forest range under regulation
is pointed to by expert of the de-
partment of agriculture as dem
onstration that areas which have
been severely damaged through
overstocking by sheep and cattle
can be brought back to their for
mer earring power through a sys-
tenn of sufficiently intelligent use.
When the government took
charge of the livestock ranges
within the national forests some
of them were so badly overgrazed
and otherwise injured from
reckless handling of the stock
that there grazing value appeared
to have been almost entirely de-
stroyed. Many of these ranges,
however, have been restored and
made as valuable as ever. On
several of the forests results have
more than justified the expecta-
ton and the range is in better
condition than it ever was.
An example of this improve
ment is cited in the Nebo nation
al forest, Utah. In 1903, when
that forest was created, the
ranges within the forest boun-
daries were found to be badly
overgrazed and trambled because
there was lack of any control
or supervision over the areas.
One of the areas was at that
time estimated to be capable of
carrying only 3, 900 head of cattle.
Now through conservative man.
agement and judicous distribu-
ton of the cattle over the ranges,
and improvements in water con-
ditions, the earring capacity of
the range has been increased un-
til, in the present grazing season
nearly 5000 head of cattle
are using this particular area,
and forest officers feel that a few
hundred head more can safe
ly be grazed there without in

There is an acute shortage of
stock cattle of the beef grades
throughout the country and they
are as a general rule held onto
tenaciously by their fortunate
owners, who fully realize that
good profits can be made by
taking care of them. Encourage
ment is found in the fact that
calves with beef blood are being
held back to far greater extent
for raising than has been the
rule for many years and fewer
calves are offered on the market
than for years. The agitation
for a law to prevent killing of fe-
males under three years old has
broken out again and some of
the stock associations are taking
it up but there is nothing to 1t.

J. c. Williams, one of the mem bels or the Yukon council from Bo- uanza district and J. c. Griffith. of Dawson, came up on the Princess Ma, and stopped over at the Golden North until this morning, on their way inside.
 Both of these gentlemen are old timers in the north, prominent in mining circles throughout the inter ic- anI in addition to this are so we'll and favorably known in the north hat any statement which they might make would be received with out hesitancy as to its absolute truth bv anyone with whom they have ever had any dealings in that vast expanse of territory bounded on the east by the Rocky Mountains on the south b. the Alaskan coast range. on the west by the Boring sea and on the north by the Arctic ocean.
 They are men of means and duT- ing their long sOjourn in the north have been, and are now interested In extensive mining operations in various sections of the intreiOr from the gold bearing creeks around Dawson to the rich beach deposits Of Nome.
 For the past five years AIr. Grif- filth has been cn the headwaters of the White river and was one of the earliest to reach the Chisana after the reported discovery of gold by James and his partner. He secur- ed a claim on the pay streak on Little EldOrado, and prospected 1t sufficiently to convince himself of its value, and Is now on his way to commence active and extensive de Ye opmeut work. He has a large outrt already at the mouth of the White river which he intends to shia in as soon as the trails are sufficiently frozen to insure safety over the ice.
 MT. Williams is also interested in the district and has a lease on

Williams is also on his way to the Chisaua in company with MT. Grif- fiths. but they have not yet deter mined which route to take-wheth- CT by the way of Kluane lake or by that of White river. They say it will depend altogether upon the condition in which they find the KIuaue road after they reach White horse. If it is as good as it has been represented they will take it.
 Of the Chisana district Mr. Grif- filth says: From my own Obserya- tions I feel assured that the dis trict will prove a great producer. I have but faint hope, however, of being able to do much work before June, as the altitude is such (ov- CT 5000 feet that it will be i'm possible to work to advantage.
 There is a pecultiarity about these creeks, which has been remarked upon by miners, and which obtain in no other placer ground that l have ever prospected, ad that is the absence in many cases, of any sur face indications of what lies beneath

 When asked as to how long it would take him to transport his outfit from the mouth of White river to the diggings, Mr. Griffith said: With ordinary luck it shou! not take more than twelve days. On my last trip to the head of the White left the mouth of the river in December with nine men. There were no roadhouses in the entire

distance and we had to break trail all the way, and we made it in nine teen days. As it promises to be when l expect to start with my outfit roadhoused all the way and a well packed trail, there should be no trouble in my making it in the time stated"
 MT. Williams when asked for in formation by the Daily Alaskan man said: There is a great deal of interest being shown in the Chis- ana district on the outside, and it is my firm belief that by the end of next March there will be 1O,- coo or more people go in. What l cant mderstandr however, is the seeming indifference displayed in the coast cities in the advertising ot this route to interior points by those vitaIly interested
 "Of course, all the old-timers who are acquainted with this coun- try and familiar with the best mean of getting in, will come this way; but a majority of those going in are not so well informed and have to depend on information that they are enabled to pick up here and there.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Griifiths and myself are so well known up in this country, we were unable to get any information whatever in Seattle as to the pres ent conditions inside, by this l mean as to whether the roads are in good shape for travel, what means of transportation are offered for and freight, the cost of and the accommOda- tions to be had while on the road.
 "Thesc are statements that should be widely circulated, especially in Seattle and Vancouver, which will, iu most instances be the points se- lected by the gold seekers for en- barkaJion to the north.
 What you people want to do is to start campaign of publicity and you want to get about 1t as soon as possible, for you can take it from me that other Alaskan coast towns are exceedingly active in push ing forward their claims to super iority of advantages offered by routes which they advocate"
 When asked as to the Mccarthy route Mir. Williams said: "The chamber of commerce of Cordova is actively at work in Seattle, and will probably induce mnay people to start in that way but there is no question in my mind that when they arrive at that point they will be blocked in their progress, for 1 hardly think that this winter will be an exception to the rule that has prevailed ever since service on the railroad was instituted. It is a well known fact that in winter the trains out of Cordova have been Un- able to run for weeks at a time on account of the heavy snowfall which at certain points covers the track to such depths that it found an utter imposstbility to keep it clear.
 Tn regard to the Cordova-McCar- thy route I can best explain my views of it by relating to you the of Dr. Williams, whom l met while I was in Seattle, and who had just come out over this trail by Mccarthy. Before proceed lngs however, I wish to state that
