Grazing Fees Not
Changed This Year

That the proposed increase in graz
ing fees on the national forests will
not take effect the coming season is
the information furnished by District
Forester George H. Cecil of Portland
who is in receipt of letter from the
forester's office on the subject.
The plan to issue five or ten-year
permits which would not be subject
TO reduction during the period for
which they are issued except for dam
age to the range or violation of'their
terms. will also be held in allegiance.
q With the exception of possible
slight adjustment on the Siskiyou for-
est in order to make the fees uniform
on this forest and the Crater forest
the grazing fees to be charged on the
national forests of District 6 during
the season of 1918 will be the same
as the fees charged for the season OF
1917.

Effort Blocked to
Flash Oregon Caves

The efforts of the Grants Pass
Chamber of Commerce to secure an
order from the postmaster general to
have the cancelling die used at the
Grants Pass postoffice mention the
Oregon Caves, has received a setback
in the order of the postmaster gen.
eral which says that postmarking dies
must not be used for advertising pur-
poses, except upon special permission
from the postoffice department. The
Grants Pass people are taking the
matter up with Congressman Hawley
in the hope that the caves are ma
tional monument, which might be suf-
ficient to get around this order, but
the fact that the federal government
has made no appropriation for the
caves may stand in the way.
