NATIONAL FOREST
 FOR SUMMER HOMES
Lease Is Net to Exceed Thirty
 Years.

Washington, May 14.--The secretary 1 of regulations for administering the 1 new law which provided that national l forest land may be leased for sum- l mer home sites and other recreational I purposes in tracts of five acres or less l for periods not to exceed thirty years. This law supplements the, revocable permit system under which recrea- l tioual use of the forests already had I developed considerably. Many users have been unwilling to make sub stantial improvements because of the 1 uncertainty of tenure involved in the ], old form of permit, which, however, l is still expected to meet the require- inents of persons who are not likely .o 1 occupy the land for more. than a few years or to make elaborate improve i menta.
 The primary object of the term permits as the leases are called, is not to obtain revenue but to promote the use of national forest land for lrecreational purposes, say the regtila- tions. At the same tinne since permittees receive special benefits, it is regarded as only fair that they should reimburs the government for the expenditure incurred in admin listering the forests. The rates range i from $o year up in accordance with the location of the land, the demand for it. and the use to which it will be put. The district foresters are authorized to grant permits to appli-
 cants who intend to make improve ments costing less than $1,o00 and Fla Il 1~.-
 than fifteen years. All other permits
 will be approved by the forester at
 Washington.
 Applications must be filed with tho
 supervisor of tho forest affected, des-
 ignating the location of the land de-
 sired, the use to be made of it, and
 the approximate Cost of contemplated
 Improvements. Examination and
 survey of the land will be made by
 the forest service free of charge. An
 application for a hotel or summer re-
 sort site must be accompanied by
 plans and specifications of proposed
 structures and statement as to their
 probable cost. The law stipulates five acres as the maximum, and it is
 believed that. much less than this will suffice for most persons, but permit tees will not be placed close together except when it is neccssitated by heavy demand for land in particular To- cality.
 Forest officers are instructed to pre- vent monopolistic control of desirable locations by individuals or groups and no permits will be given for lands which are subject to entry under the l hon1esteaa law. not far lands which will be needed for public or quasi-pub-

So pIenti- ful had they been that salmon was at certain seasons a veritable "drug in the market" and so cheap was it and so little thought of as a food, that it was often stipulated in the papers by which apprentices were bound out that their masters should not feed them on salmon beyond a certain number of days in a week. But the salmon has vanished. in spite of the efforts that have. been made to restock the waters with that valuable fish.
