tion to the permanence OF the ma
tional forests, says the report, are
the appropriations by congress at Its
last session of ten million dollars
for the construction of roads within
the forests and that of three million
dollars to extend the national for
ests in the eastern mountains by
purchase. THE appropriation for
the construction of roads will per-
NIT the opening up of regions here
tofore inaccessible, will greatly in
crease the use OF the resources In
the forests, will shorten lines of
travel across the states and between
communities, will stimulate pros
peeting and mining in mineral re-
gions and will aid community up
building.
THE Importance of having public
forests at the headwaters of i'm
portant streams has been recognized
and greatly emphasized through the
appropriation OF 100000 for con-
tinued purchases of lands begun un-
der the so-called Weeks law. The
work of establishing these forests
has been started under the most IA
forable auspices, and its discontin-
uance would have been particularly
unfortunate. With the new appro-
priation the purchases may now 90

The need for consolidating land
ownership where government and
private lands are interlocked is
pointed out by Mr.. Graves. Congress
has, he states. already authorized an
exchange of lands on the Florida,
the Oregon, and the Whitman ma
tional forests. Under the same poll
ey exchanges have been made or are
being negotiated with South Dako-
ia. Montana. Idaho and washington
