service for the benefit of the county
schools and roads in states where the
national forests lie, declares the chief
forester in his report for 1914.
Some 100000 was spent by the forest
service during the year for permanent
improvements on the national forests to
make them accessible, and to insure their
protection from fire. These improvements
include 270 miles Of new road, 2,153 miles
OF trail. 3.063 miles of telephone line, IT'S
miles of fire line, and 106 lookout struc-

Change to Horses and Cattle.

The present tendency to raise fewer
sheep and goats and more cattle and
horses is shown in the fact that the
number of cattle and horse permittees
on the western forests increased last
year by 1879. while the number of
sheep and goat permittees fell off by
total of 26S- The western Stock bust
ness. the forester points out, is becom-
ing attached to the soil, and the timer
ant sheep grower and the specula tor
in cattle are giving place to the perma-
nent resident and owner of improved
ranch property. The latter is always
given preference in the use of national
forest range, the report states.

Falling Off in Sales Noted.

Cnfavorable conditions in the Ium-
Der trade caused new sales of national
forest timber to fall off somewhat dur
ing the past year. though the opera
tions on outstanding sales contracts
brought the total cut above that of the
previous year by 130,0OO.0O0 board feet.
There was. however, big increase in
small timber sales, these numbering
S.29S in 1914 against 6,1S2 the previous
year. Desirable blocks of national for
est timber have been appraised and put
on the market. and it is expected that
these will find purchasers when condi-
tions in the lumber industry improve
All told, the government received ST.

the forests in 1914. The receipts from
all sources totaled s2,437,71021

note that those sheets were surveyed,

DR. Daley Willis. formerly of the ell

geologic work for the Argentine govern
ment, declared that the cooperative spirit
of the engraving division had resulted in
the present perfection of the geologic
maps. He declared thathe had taken the
maps to Europe. China, Japan and South

back the word that there was no better
work being done than that at Washing-

The new league was made possible
through the persistent effort Of Presi-

the merchants Of the city to secure
their cooperation In the project and
the circuit is purely a merchants or
