FEES FOR GRAZING ON
NATIONAL FORESTS DURING
1917 INCREASE % PER CENT

The district forester announces
that the secretary of agriculture has
decided definitely to increase the fees
for grazing livestock upon the Ma
tional forests Of the intermountain
district during 1917 fiat 25 per
cent.
Receipts from grazing Of livestock
within the intermountain district
for the season of 1915 amounted to
approximately 100000. With a
25 per cent increase, they will reach
a total of at least $450,000 during
1917. IS per cent of all receipts
from the sale and use Of national
forest resources is now returned to
the states and counties in which the
forests are located for road and
school purposes, SO that the increase
in grazing fees also means a Is per
cent increase in these returns to
states and counties.

cruises about 4,500,000,000 feet.
David G. Eccles is directing head Of
the purchasing company and 1t is
announced the new owners will begin
cutting operation in the near future.
This will necessitate the building Of
logging roads and at least one large
mill either on the Columbia river or
on Tillamook bay.
The buyers paid 100000 for the
timber tract.

gave Thomas as the home town Of

been in Blackfoot and Miss Sclane,

fore the war the South American

fore the war the South American
countries have turned to Europe
for financial aid, and largely for
manufactured goods, the war in
Europe has brought about a
change, and republics and business
houses, which had for years en-
joyed easy credit and first class
service from Europe, we're left
f1oundering in an almost helpless
condition. and naturally turned to
the United States for assistance.
And as a result an abnormal de-
velopment has taken place in our
trade with South America, and
while we shall probably lose a sub
stantial portion of our gains when
the war is terminated and unre-
strained European competition
again enters the South American
field, nevertheless we are rapidly
establishing what should be per-
manent fOot-hold in the South
American republics.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1917-03-22

looked to Europe for their sup
plies; it is perfectly natural that
they should, because about one
half of the population of the large
cities of South America are for
eign born. Buenos Aires has a
population of about l 5000 and
more than 100000 are foreigners.
Nevertheless the manufacturers of
the United States have not been
slow in grasping an opportunity to
increase their business relations
with the South American countries,
as we are now apparently supply
ing about 35 per cent of the i'm
ports of all South America, against
approximately Is per cent the
year before the war. Total eX-
ports to South America for the
year of 1916 exceeds 100000, 900,
against $144, 100000 in 1915, and
SOL, 100000 in 1914, which is cer-
tainly a direct advantage to this
country and our American expor-
ters and manufacturers.
Heretofore Americans have ap-
peared to think that Cape Horn
was at the mouth of the harbor of
Santos, in Brazil, and would ven
ture to 60 that far, for a few bags
of coffee.
After noting the fact that be-

in South America, there is no doubt
but that the import of luxuries
have fallen off, especially since the
beginning of the European war.
1t would be larger if freight was
not so high and the distance not so
great.
To make the trip from Buenos
Aires, a distance of 5000 miles
from New York. requires from 20
to 26 days. by the all-Atlantic
route. This trip is now shortened
by the way of the Panama canal,
and by rail from Valparaiso, Chile.
The distance by the canal is 5,8D
miles, and it takes from 22 to .
days to make this trip. The canal
route is very convenient for pas
senger service, but not for freight,
as the freight would have to be re-
shipped from Valparaiso to Allan
tic ports.
But conditions being as they
are and the importers taking only
necessaries and waiting for better
times before importing luxuries,
the people, too, no doubt, are only
purchasing necessaries as a conse-
quence.

by his grandmother. He purchased
a packet of good cucumber seed

patch of cucumbers for the local
village market. His crop of Gu

mother allowed him to keep and

with 81 of his money this boy

purchased eve lamb. By this
spring his eve lamb had grown in
to a mature mother sheep, and she
gave birth to twin lambs. So now
the boy has three sheep from his
investment. The mother sheep is
now worth $40, and the lambs are
worth S. each, making a total value
of $40 he has earned with his ten
cents in a year and half. Besides.
he sold wool this spring from the
mother sheep for $2.45, which he
has placed in the savings bank as

and with will to make good.
They read the history of the
country, study the language, ap-
preciate the customs that have de-
scended from Spain, converse with
the public men, understand the
trend of politics and social reform,
and, endeavoring to help South
America, they are helping our own
country as we'll. When a business
man of South America comes to
the United States, he assists the
legation and consulate in making
the fact known, and he is received
by our people so cordially that he
goes home a permanent friend and
admirer of the United States.
This is the spirit in which we
should 60 to South America,
knowing that the people are polite.
ambitious and proud, determined
to meet their kindness and courtesy
with sincerity. and thus tighten
the bonds of friendship between
the two countries.
As to the methods which ex-
porters and manufacturers ought
to employ in cementing their trade
relations in South America, l could
not say, but l know of no reason
why they should not use the same
methods they do in this country.
Manufacturers and exporters ought
not expect too much from the
South American trade.
Take the case of a manufacturer
of automobiles who had established
connections with an agent in
Montevideo. The year following
the relations, the manufacturer
notified the agent that he could
not supply him with cars. Possibly
the agent had not let the manufac-
turer know just how many he
would want. This is one instance
of methods that do not bear good
fruit. Of course this is not COM
mon case, although similar occur
rences have come to my attention.
But the majority of responsible
houses, l have been told, stand by
their orders. Of course even then
the best of them have great diff
culties to contend with in endeav-
oring to maintain their South
American trade. With the best of
intentions and even with the best
of performances on their part it is
difficult to secure a speedy delivery
of their goods.
There is also the matter of
credit. The importers of South
America are importing firms of
good standing, and are representa-
tive. They resent a demand for
cash payments as sort of impu-
tation against their good standing.
They say to Americans: Ger
mans and English have given US
credit of thirty days. why should
not you!"
The credit situation is more COM
plicated in Montevideo, because
Montevideo is the only import GEN.
ter for the whole of Uruguay.
Communications with the interior
are in many cases very bad, and it
takes weeks sometimes before the
Uruguayan importer gets his mon
ey for goods he has shipped there.
Some of the goods are to 90 hun
dreds of miles, over mountains and
through valleys, on pack-mules,
known as mule-train. The
weight carried is about two hum
dred pounds for each mule. These
goods have to be put up in pack
ages suitable for mule-train trans
portation. This is an additional
reason for the American exporter
to grant the credit which the
South Americans have been in the
habit of receiving from European
firms.
As to the present trade situation

Short extended you will have take it;
Heed my advice then, follow my plea
Counting the days. won't diminish their number,
Rather retard their ilmbering turn;
Days full of toll and nights full of slumber
Hasten the time for whose speeding you yearn.
Short the hours which left you for pleasures
Short they are, there is plenty of time,
Reading and studying quite your leisure,
knowledge gain that will make you sublime.
If for your future you want to be ready,
If you consider your knowledge too small
Then ideal place for your study
Could not be found than within the gray wall.
Nothing distracts you while anxious you ponder,
Nothing will break in the train OF your thought
There's temptation which-hardly wonder
Many to his ruin has brought.
So, while you have to remain in your durance,
Make what you of the time you here;
And while you study, believe my assurance:
Time will not nearly so endless appear
