he wished to telephone to Heppner
for assistance. He was directed to
the telephone and secured the neces-
sary aid at once; If he had not been
able to obtain telephone communica-
ton a tweney five mile walk was the
alternative. It goes without saying
that he appreciated the convenience
and furthermore we we're very glad
to be able to help him out. This is
one of many instances which have
come under my observation and |
mention this TO illustrate the prac-
tical good the government has done
and is continually doing to make the
national forests their resources ana
conveniences Of use to the public.
Cooperation Necessary.
It is obvious. however, If we would
continue to enjoy and use the ma
tional forest we must all cooperate
and help protect 1t from fire, which
can render it useless in many ways.
It will destroy the most delightful
of camping places, injure the range
for the stockmen. and by burning up
the timber and ground cover very
seriously impair its value for water
shed protection. Fire can do all this
and II is for these reasons. aside from
the loss to the community by the de-
struction Of forest products, that the
government looks to every user Of the
forest whether he be a stockman, hun
ter or camper to be careful with fire
and see that none start through In
attention or neglect Another matter
demanding our attention, and l am
using the word "our" advisedly, for
/ am working in cooperation with the
stockmen. is the proper care Of the
range. l think there will be no de-
NAL to my statement when / say that
the Umatilla ranges were very badly
used prior to the creation Of the ma
tional forest; it will be up hill work
to bring them back to their former
carrying capacity, nevertheless the
forest service is trying and will con-
tinue to try to improve them, in line
with the policy not to be content with
conditions as they are but continually
improve them so as to make the re-
sources of the forest responsive to the
needs of the communities dependent
upon it. 1t is very gratifying to note
the interest stockmen are taking in
range matters, several stock associ-
ations have been formed to work with
the forest supervisor in the better
ment of range conditions. Coopera-
tive plans are under way to build
drift fences, protect and improve
watering places fer stock and in Other
ways to secure a more complete uti'
lization of the range than has OBJ
tained heretofore. We must worl
with and not against, Nature, if We
expect to accomplish anything and the
government asks the cooperation oi
the stockmen, who use the foresi
range in all plans for its improve
ment.
Shortage Of water is being felt or

creeks have run low but this is rath
er to be expected, the most difficult

Among the natural resources Of AL
aska which It is expected will be made
more readily available to the worlds
markets by the construction of the
recently projected government rail-
road, one which may be less well
known but which is by no means the
least valuable is her agricultural
sells. Experts from the bureau of
soils, United States department of ag-
riculture, recently have made an ex-
animation of the soils over a large
part of the Alaskan peninsula, the re-
suits of which are to be published by
the department in a report entitled,
soil Reconnaissance in Alaska, with
ar Estimate Of the Agricultural Pos
sIhilities."
The report describes the soils and
conditions influencing agriculture in
three broad areas the Cook-1nlet-
susitana region, the Yukon-Tanana
region, and the Copper River regions.
As promising agricultural section
the Cook et-Susitna region Is the
most important, although the Yukon
Tanana region comprises some of the
best agricultural soils in Alaska, In
the former region soil type mapped
as the Knik loan, under the scientif-
ic classification adopted by the bu-
reau of soils, covers a total area OF
nearly 1000 square miles. 1t is an
excellent soil for the production OF

tables, grain, native grass, legumes,
and flowers. The soil is easily TILED

gions are described in detail, together
with the climate, topography, drain
age, settlement, industries, transpor'

INFLUENCE OF CANADIAN
AND THE SCOTCH UPON
THE EARLY NORTHWEST
CONTINUED from page two.)

Mountains divide US, and width
Of seas,
But still our hearts are true, our
hearts are highland,
And we in dreams behold the He
brides.
Ne'er shall we see the fancy haunted
valley
Where twixt the dark hills flows
the pure, clear stream,
Nor e'er around our chieftain's ban
ner rally,
Nor see the moon from loyal tomb
stones CLEAN.
When our brave fathers in the time
long vanished
Conquered and fortified the keep,
No seer foretold their children should
be banished,
That degenerate lord might boast
his sheep,
Come foreign rage, let discord burst
in slaughter,
Oh, then for clansmen true, and

And hearts that would give blood like

That heavily beat against the At

But we are exiles from our Father
