Stock Grazing On
National Forest Reserve

Portland, Ore, Dec. 22.-According
to the annual report of the secretary
of agriculture, there were grazed last
year on the National Forests under pay
permits, 1,724,000 cattle and horses and
100000 sheep and goats. Several hun.
dred thousand head of milch and work
animals were grazed free of charge, and
more than $4,000 head Of stock cross.
ed the forests, feeding en- route, also
free of charge.
To show the increased use Of the for.
ests for grazing, the secretary states
that during the fiscal year 1905 there
were only $4,000 cattle and horses
and l,5l4,000 sheep and goats on ap
proximately $4,000 acres. The number
of animals now sustained in proportion
to the area of the forests is SO per cent
greater than it was 10 years ago. Since
1905 the number of persons holding
grazing privileges has Increased 200 per
cent. This can be attributed princi.
pally to wider use by settlers and small
stockmen.
According to the report, the greater
part of the summer range in the west
ern states is in the National Forests.
Under the regulated government sys.
TEN the forage is utilized fully, with.
out injury to tree growth, and with ade.
quate safeguards against watershed
damage. 1t is stated that the produc.
tivity Of the land for forage in most
places has been restored and every.
where is increasing; the industry has
been made more stable; stock comes
from the forests in better condition;
range wars have stopped; ranch prop,
erty has increased in value; and q larg.
er area has been made available through
range improvements. 1t is probable, so
the report states, that 100,000OO0
pounds of beef and mutton are, sold
each year from herds and flocks oc.
eupying the ranges. That the forests
have promoted the development of the
stock industry is indicated. This is ar
precited by stockmen and they are urg.
ing that similar system of range regu.
lation be extended to the unreserved
public lands.
The secretary concludes by stating
that it is not merely the stock industry
that has been benefited. The grazing
privilege has been so distributed as to
promote healthy community growth, in.
crease settlement, prevent monopoly,
and diffuse prosperity. In other words
public control has served social as well
as economic ends.

Colonel House Mission
Kept Profound. Secret

Washington, Dec. 22.-Efforts today
to learn the nature Of the announced
mission of Colonel House Of New York
on an errant to Europe for President
Wilson proved fruitless.
House himself declared it was not a
peace expedition; he explained it as
merely to acsuaint American diplomats
abroad with the presidents policies.
But back of this statement, many
feel lies a strong possibility of a peace
mission. Those holding this view to
the fact that both England and Ger
many have said they are ready for
peace, with q big If. Both admitted
iy do not desire to make the overtures;
hence, said certain parties, President
Wilson may be seeking to sound out
the belligerents again through his con-
fidential agent and friend.
Many authorities felt House really
is to be the man to sweep aside the II
which, in short, is disinelination to
initiate peace overtures, lest they be
interpreted as as weakness.

for Sumpter to surpass most other
