Livestock Increases
On National Forests

Figures showing the number Of live
stock for which the secretary of agri-
culture has authorized grazing per-
mits for the ranges on the $50 ma
tional forests during the year 1914
have just been made public. Nearly
100000 animals can be grazed, in
Guiding nearly 100000 head of cattle
and horses, nearly 100000 head OF
sheep and goats, and about $1,000
hogs. This means an increase for the
current year of about $4,000 more cat
tie and horses, and $4,000 more sheep
and goats, although the gross area of
the national forests at the beginning
of 1914 is almost 100000 acres less
than at the beginning of 1913.
During 1918, according to the reports
just compiled, more than $1,000 stock
men paid the government for grazing
permits on the national forests.
For several years past the carrying
capacity of the national forest ranges
has been slowly rising, which, forest
officers say, indicates an Improvement
in general grazing conditions and a
better utilization of the forage re-
sources. They claim that this is due
mainly to the enforcement of better
methods of distributing and handling
stock.
On the lands recently acquired by the
federal government within the Appa-
lachian region of the east, regulated
grazing has been undertaken this
year on six distinct areas. The local
stock owners who had previously used
the land under lease from the former
owners have readily accepted the
change of ownership and appear to
be favorably impressed with the meth
DDS employed by the forest service
for grazing purposes. While the num-
Der of all animals authorized to Craze
upon these southern Appalachian for
ests is not large, it is the belief of
the forest officers in charge of them
that under careful supervision the
lands will support more stock than
they have in the past and that there
will be considerable improvement in
the individual animals, with a con-
slant increase in meat production.

The medical profession does not be-
lieve that lung troubles are inherited,
but a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to them.
Mrs. Kate Hickman, Springfield,
Ohio, says: "A few years ago 1 was
in very bad down condition. and
the physician told me / had consump-
ton. I tried another physician, and
he told me / had ulcers on my right
lung. 1 quit the physicians and start

healthy, and that is why 1 recon-
mend 'Vinor."
Vinol soothes and heals the infiam-
ed surfaces and allays the cough.
vinol creates an appetite, strengthens

William Lincoln Palmer of Boston,
Mass, a native of Maine, who has
made extensive researches both at
home and abroad into his own ances-
try and in tracing the Munsey and
other family lines, has recently pre-
sented to the State Library six COM
missions which were owned by his
grandfather, Ebenezer F. Bacon, who
was born Sept. %, 1896 at Sidney and
died Oct. 20, 1S41 at Waterville. The
earliest of these commissions, that as
ensign in the Massachusetts, militia,
was signed by Gov. John Brooks of
Mass, in 1918, and the other commits
sions, that as captain of the Maine
militia company, justice of peace, cor
oner, and county sheriff, bear respec-
lively the signatures of the follow
ing Maine Governors: William King,
1921; Enoch Lincoln, 1928; Samuel E.
Smith, 1888; Robert F. Dunlap, 1887;

Fathers Day to
Be Observed on
Sunday, June Il

Spokane, Wash, May 21.-Sunday,
June 81, has been proclaimed Fathers
day by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd of Spo-
kane, who conceived the idea and or
iginated the plan Of paying tribute to
fathers in all parts of the world one
day each year.
Although Mrs. Dodd has received no.
tice that bill designed to set aside
the first Sunday in June for this pur-
pose has passed both houses of Con-
gress, she states that until official an
nouncement of the fact has been made
by the government the third Sunday
in June will be observed as Fathers
day.
Following the custom established
four years ago, ministers In hundreds
of American churches, and several in
foreign countries, will devote their
sermons to fathers on that day,
states Mrs. Dodd "Since the practice
was started in Spokane it is very fit
ting that the people of this city OBJ
serve the day appropriately. The red
rose is worn for the living, the white
rose for the dead. A luncheon in hon.
or of the day will be given by the
City Federation of Women's Clubs on
Thursday, June IS.
while I am credited with starting
the Fathers day movement, I can
take no credit for the thought being
original with me, for does not the sec
ond greatest commandment tell US to
honor thy father and thy mother
One day in 365, and g. Sabbath day at
that, is not gift to overwhelm. or
make father feel unduly egotistic, al
though a Fathers day critic has said.
L will only wear the white rose for
the father that is dead, for he is the
only truly good father Pathetic.
isn't 1t? / would suggest that this
young man specialize along the line
of home missions lest the words like
the father, like the SON reflect upon
his brow"
Mrs. John Bruce Dodd crystalized
her vision of Fathers day in 1903
and in 1910 the Spokane Y M. C. A.
Endorsed the day. Mayor N. S. Pratt
of Spokane and Governor M. E. Hay
also gave their approval.

Dept. of Agri. Cooperating With
the States in Seeking to Standard
ize the Local Road Management

of systems works best in actual prac-
tice.
There is, moreover, at present no
standard system of keeping accounts
for road building and maintenance,
and as a result, while some counties
know to a penny the purpose for
which money was spent, others have
no definite check or reporting system.
Among various counties with the
same conditions, cost for excavation or
other labor is anything but uniform,
and many counties, because of the abb
sence of definite knowledge, fail to
use local and cheap materials and con-
struct roads which are unnecessarily
expensive for their purpose, or which
will wear out before the bond issues
are redeemed. The investigation will
include careful study of the use Of
convict labor in road construction.
In connection with the scientific
study, the departments highway en-
gineers will advise freely with local
officials as to improvements, and thus
give each county visited the advantage
of direct cooperation, engineering su-
pervision and assistance,
These investigations, it Is believed,
will yield important economic data
bearing especially on the benefits and
burdens of road improvement and
showing the extent to which financial
outlay under given typical conditions
is justiiable.
The heads of State highway depart
ments are manifesting great interest
and are cooperating cordially in this
work These data when obtained will
be published and thus made accessible
to all county and state road officials.

Washington, May 21-Detailed stud
les of local road building systems in
100 counties are now being carried on
by the Department of Agriculture in
cooperation with state highway de-
partments and local road authorities
The purpose of this study is to dis
cover the points of excellence and de-
fects in existing local methods of
building and maintaining roads which
will aid the State authorities to put
local road management on a system
atized basis. The cooperating State
authorities have been asked to desig-
nate counties that present typical and
exceptional features as to topography,
character of road materials, methods
of construction and maintenance, ad-
ministrative organization, methods of
road financing, and traffic conditions.
From these lists 100 counties will be
selected, and in these counties the di-
vision of road economics will make
intensive studies.
This investigation is prompted by
the fact that there is at present very
little knowledge as to the most effec-
tive and economical methods by which
a county can develop its roads. At
present the methods of financing local
road improvements vary from calling
on farmers for a certain number of
days labor in lieu of a road tax, or the
use of county prisoners in road con-
struction, to bond issues or mainten-
ance of roads from dram-shop license
funds.
The department will study all of
these systems with the view to deter
mining what system or combination

States,

According to the reports which have
recently been received by State Land
Agent and Forest Commissioner
Blaine 8. Viles the smoky atmosphere
which has been noticed for the last
few days in all parts Of the State is
not peculiar to Maine alone. Mr.
Viles stated Thursday morning that
there are forest fires in New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts,, most of them
small fires but yet large enough to
fill the air for miles with smoke and
give to the sun a strange colored ap-
pearance.
The latest report of a fire in the
State received at Mr.. Viles' office was
from Boothbay where fire recently
burned for six hours over about Il
acres Of forest with destruction of
about II cords of green timber. The

 TRAIL QUESTION

In speaking of the bad condition Of the trail Up the side of the htu on the east side of the yalloy Icad- ing up to lower Lake Dewey. ges- terday We were unaware. until .a- formed this morning by D H. Ganty, that there is a tar bette. trail, ard one much easier to nego- Jiate, although 8 little longer. Iead- ing up from the foot of the au just below the tank hous. of tno Home Power Co. and reaching t.s crest immediately to the e.s- of fine Pullen House.
 This s what is known as the p. E. Kern -ratI and Was built by ra.. gentleman several years ago at Jae time he erected "Casrle Kern" on the mountain top near upper Lake Dewey.
 According to lLr. Gaurv tr is hE far the more picturesque way O. getting to either of the Dewey lakes. After reaching the crest Of the first hill a person can turn to the left and visit Icy lake, or srraiga. ahead and strike the trail leadtug to Upper Lake Dewey, or, turuiu4 10 the right, deboucb into the road leading to the saw mill and lower Lake Dewey.
 lIr. Gauty is authority for ra- statement that the old Kern trail is now in ftrst-class condition for people 10 pass over and that while the distance to be uaversed is somewhat longer the extra time spent in ascending and descending the mountain is amply made up by the easier gradients that Ere eu- countered and the greater scenic beauty of the trip.
 Under the above circumstances, while We should like very much to see the other trail put in good shape, we are pleased to state that it is no' a matter of such imDortauc as we were under the impression f was at the time We took the matter up in the Daily Alaskan yesterday.
