FEDERAL COURT WEEK.

This morning the federal court convenes
in Missoula with it's usual but diminishing
grist of Bookkeeping cases from the old Flat
head reservation country. Steadily and
with unerring certainty the federal officials
have enforced the laws prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of intoxicating liquors into In

with Indian wards of the federal govern
ment.
1t is slowly dawning upon some people
that when Uncle Sam enacts statute he
also intends to see that it is strictly en-
forced. 1t may take several short courses
at Leavenworth to fully illustrate the point
but in the end the lesson will be we'll
learned.
A very great majority OF the people of the
west side counties are of the belief that they
owe a lasting debt Of gratitude to Judge
Bourquin, Major Morgan and Special
Agent Glenn for their answering devotion
to duty in the enforcement of the federal

INTELLIGENT HANDLING
OF OUR NATIONAL FOREST
Proves Entirely Satisfactory to Users
Increases in Value Under
Scientific Use

Selling some billion and a hall board
feet Of timber and supervising the cut
ting on several thousand different areas,
overincreasing the grazing Of more than
1900, 900 cattle and 7,500,0 900 sheep,
and building more than 800 miles Of
road, 1000 miles Of trail, 1000 miles
Of telephone line, and 700 miles OF
fire line, are some Of the things which
the government forest service did last
year upon the national forests, as dis
closed in the report Of the chief fores-
ter for 1914.
There is need, says the chief fores-
ter, to increase the cut Of timber from
national forests wherever a fair price
can be obtained, because a great deal
of it is mature and ought to be taken
out to make room for young growth.
U~nfavorable conditions in the lumber
trade caused new sales Of national for
est timber to fall off somewhat during
the year. There was, however, a big
increase in small timber sales, these
numbering 1928 in 1914 against
6,182 the previous year. All told. the
government received $1,304,053.66
from the sale Of timber from its forests
After eight years Of experience
stockmen are we'll satisfied, says the
chief forester, with the way grazing of
stock on the forest is regulated, and
have even urged upon congress the
application OF the same method Of con
troll on the unreserved public range.
Almost 10000 permittees Craze stock
on the national forests, and these paid
to the government in the fiscal year
1914 fees amounting to over a million
dollars. The present tendency to raise
