BOAT CAN MAKE LONG TRIPS
New Vessel Owned by Uncle Sam Able
to Remain at Sea Without Making
Port for Several Months.

Uncle Sam has new steamer, the
Surveyor, for use in the coast and
geodetic survey, which is so designed
that 1t will be able to keep at sea with
out making port for several months at
a time.
The Surveyor has a storage capacity
for $4,000 gallons-enough to carry her
5000 miles ut full speed or 1880 miles
at working speed.
The vessel is equipped with water
tanks and storerooms sufficient for
period of six NJ Jnths. The refrigera-
tors are exceptionally large, so that
the crew may have fresh meats and
vegetables while distant from port for
considerable periods during the. long
surveying seasons.
The Surveyor will carry a full equip
ment of surveying instruments, includ-
ing two sounding machines, one cleo
trically driven and one steam driven.
Her boat equipment consists of four
motor-driven launches, two whale
boats and several dories. The radio
equipment was designed, made, and
installed by the bureau of standards
of the department of commerce.

FOREST RECEIPTS gain
Uncle Sans Reserves Now Al
most Paying Expenses.
Increase Due to More Active Timber
Business and Higher Fees Charged
for Grazing.

Receipts from Uncle Sans national
forests in the last fiscal year exceeded
those for 1916, the banner previous
year, by more than 100000, and to-
tailed over $3,450,oOO. The cost of op-
Grating the forests, about $4,000,000,
was virtually the same as in 1916.
The increase, according to the for
estry officials, came chiefly from u
more active timber business and from
the higher fees charged for grazing, al
though practically every form of use of
the forests was greater than ever be-
fore and nearly every revenue-produc-
ing activity contributed to the gain
The only exception was that of sales
of turpentining privileges, which fell
off nearly one-half. Since these sales
are made only on the Florida forest
the, receipts from this source are rela.
lively small.
The timber business realized for the
government over S1,600,O00 and live.
stock grazing over $1,50O,000. Permits
for waterpower development brought
in over 100000 and other forms OF
land occupancy, including leases OF
land for summer homes, as much more
In this item the gain was % per cent.
1t is pointed out by the forest serv
ice that many forms of use of the for
ests bring in no revenue. Settlers ir
and near the forests are allowed much
free timber for domestic and farm
use and are also allowed free grazing

the forests are open to all without
charge, while their almost inestimablt
value for water conservation is main
tained solely at the cost of the gov
ernment. Although their adminlstra
ton and protection as public utilities
neceSSitate large expenditures which
yield no money returns, the narrowing
gap between expenditures and re-
ceipts holds out the prospect, those
in charge of the work feel, that the
revenues will in no great time exceed
the operating cost.
With the demand for timber mark.
ed.y stimulated by war conditions, the
government foresters anticipate a
further increase in the national for.
est cut and the receipts for timber dur
ing the current year. On the other
hand, they point out that an increase
in business will necessarily call for
more work and increased costs. Con-
eress provided for this by increasing
the funds available this year for ma
tiOnal forest administration and pro-
lection by about $4,000.
OF the grazing receipts cattle fur
nlshed approximately 100000 and
sheep $570,000. On account of the
food shortage faced by the livestock
industry throughout great part of
the West last spring, and because of
the needs of the nation for meat,
wool and hide production, the stock
were admitted early and up to the full
limit of the carrying capacity of the
ranges. AS a result of regulated graz
ing the capacity of the ranges has
been growing greater for some
years, the forest service officials state,
and the increase in grazing receipts is
in part due to the fact that the herds
on the forests this summer are larger
than in any previous season.
