Washington, Nov. 26-By the use
carrying 2,700 sheep at a time, hith-
erto unused range for approximately
$4,000 sheep at the head of Lake
Chelan. on the Chelan National For
est, Washington, has been made avail
able for us. This, according to graz
ing experts Of the Forest Service, ID
an example of he way in which new
range on the National Forests Is be-
ing opened up in an effort to increase
the country's meat supply.
Lake Chelan, which, officers OF the
Forest Service say, is one OF the most
beautiful. bodies Of water in the West,
is So miles long. While the head
of the lake is accessible only by boat
and narrow mountain trails. the lower
end is convenient to a railroad and
also to the bunchgrass ranges OF
eastern Washington upon which the
sheep men OF that region have for
many years wintered large numbers
of sheep. They lacked summer
range, however, The summer range
at the head Of Lake, Che1an. it Is
explained is particularly good but il
cut off from the nearest ranches by a
long stretch Of exceedingly rough
country over which sheep can not be
driven without severe loHses.
Officers Of the Forest Service sug-
gested the construction OF barge to
be lowed by a small steamer, which
would make it possible to transport
the sheep to tn ehead of the lake.
The suggestion was carried out with
the aid of the railroad, and $1,000
sheep were put on this practically new
range the first season. Not only
was the National Forest land utilised,

resolution endorsing the aspirations
of the Jewish people for a national
homeland in Palestine. The resolu-
ton is as follows:
1.-The American Federation of Labor
expresses its unqualified approval of
the avowal by President Wilson that
one of the motives for Americas en-
trance into the war Is to secure for
the small nationalittes the right to
live their own lives on their own soil
and to develop their own culture I'M
der free national auspices.
'Inasmuch as among all these small
nationalities, the Jews alone have no
homeland Of their own, we urge upon
the President and the international
congress which will negotiate terms of
peace, the legitimate claims Of the
Jewish, people for the re-sstablish-
ment of national homeland in Pal
estine, on g. basis of self-government. :"
