Thos. Mackenzie, chief of grazing
United States Forest service for ore
gon. Washington and Alaska, accom-
nanied by l.. f. McDaniels, deputy for
est supervisor for Okanogan county,
were in Oroville Saturday. The gentle
men were just returning from an eX-
tended tour in British Columbia from
| Vancouver to this place. The object
| of their mission was to arrange for
the cooperation of the forest service
on both sides of the line regarding
| grazing privileges and the crossing or
sheep. Unfortunately the laws govern
ing the forest service of British Co.
lumbia are somewhat lame, or indeed
inadequate for the purpose. The au-
thorites in the service promised that
laws in conformity with those adopt
ed by the authorities on this side of
the line would probably be adopted by
the Canadian parliment this winter,
and then satisfactory arrangements
could be made between the forest SER
vice of the two countries.
We were most agreeably surprised
Friday last by visit from very old
friend in the person of F. d. Knight, of
Spokane Mr.. Knight is connected with
the state game commission and was
up in to Okanogan county to adjust
reports of the local game warden. In
early days Mr.. Knight was the owner
OF the Spokane Chronicle. After dis
posing of the Chronicle he conducted
job office and then was in the book
binding business for some time. Twen-
ty years ago he secured large tract
of land on the Spokane river, a few
miles northwest of Spokane, where
he has since resided. In those early
days our business and social relations
with Mr.. Knight were always pleasant
AS competitor in business We found
him square and upright, and person
tally always accommodating and genial
This is the first time We have met
him within dozen years, and it was
pleasure to note that time is treating
him kindly, as he looks little older
than he did a quarter of century ago
