MORE STOCK ALLOWED
GRAZING FACILITIES

District Forester George H. Cecil
of Portland announces that the total
numbers of cattle, horses, sheep and
goats authorized to Craze on the ma
tional forests of Oregon and Wash
ington during the season of 1918 are
202,950 head of cattle and horses
and 1,206,S00 head of sheep and
goats an increase of 16,S10 cattle
and horses and 1920 sheep and
goats over the figures for 1917.
This increase in cattle is due to
increased carrying capacity of the
range, while the increase in sheep
is made possible by the discovery of
new ranges and readiustment of the
boundaries on the old ranges. Be-
cause of war conditions and a heavy
demand for meat and wool, extra
stock was grazed last year to the
extent Of 19,47S head Of cattle and
29,102 head of sheep over 1916. The
increase in cattle authorizations for
the last four years has been 10000
head
It is the desire of the forest serv-
ice that ranges be used at this time
to the extreme limit of their carry
ing capacity. In addition to the in
crease in the number of stock run
on the ranges there has been an in
crease in value; due to improved
grade of animals turned on the
range. Stock growers and the for
est service cooperate to bring about
better range conditions, both as con-
Germs the range itself and the grade
of stock carried. Well-blooded stock
use no more range than scrubs, and
bring much larger returns on the
market.

Army and Navy News

Letters from the members of the
65th regiment of Oregon Coast Ar
tillery have heached relatives in this
city, which details the glad news that
the boys have arrived safely oveseas.
Communication is Of the briefest,
however, especially in the first let
ters, as the Ashland boys, realizing
the anxiety Of their parents to hear
from them, have been particularly
careful about what they write in or
der that the letters will not be with
held by the censors. Among the late
letters from Europe is one from Har-
old Simpson in which he merely
states that they are somewhere in
Europe, but leave much to conject-
ure as to their whereabouts. AS the
65th has had no heavy artillery train
ing it is thought the regiment will
not be sent to the front for some
time yet.

my Dear Mother: wrote you
letter yesterday, but mail is so un-
certain that I don't know whether
you will get it or not. We arrived
here safely after a hard trip across
the pond. This is a very beautiful
country, everything is so old and
quaint. We had very interesting
ride across this foreign land after
we got off the boat, on one Of their
quaint trains. We never get to see
a newspaper any more.
Write me and tell me the latest
news. as everything is censored here
We don't know what is going on in
the outside world. We are at rest
camp again, but we don't get much
rest. l can't write much on account
of the censorship, could surely tell
you folks a lot of interesting things.
am in the best of health now after
my seasickness. We are having a
lots of fun with the foreign money.
They won't take good old U. S. money
here, and we are scared to take theirs
afraid that both sides will get the
worst of it. Will write again in a
day or so. With loving regards to
all, Your loving son,

Piles. They are retailing here at 10c

The above is commended to the re-
tired men of Ashland, who refuse to
help in patriotic work. Here the
burden Of selling Liberty bonds and
doing similar service falls upon
young and middle aged men who are
forced to work hard for a living,
Most Of those who are independent
ly wealthy seem content to sit around
and growl at the way things are done,
instead Of lending helping hand.
Their long experience with men and
money admirably fits them for this
sort of public service. What moral
right, have they to stand back and
force the burden onto those less able
to bear it? Time is money and al
truistic work should be done by those
who have the most of these co,amodi-
ties to spare.
In New York and three other
eastern states a recent law compels
every able-bodied man, rich as well
as poor, to have some regular, produc-
tive employment. We need such
law in Oregon.

planned bitterly of the idle men in

the pool rooms, which take the place
of saloons as centers of vice and
crime in prohibition states, were raid
ed and thousand slackers rounded
up. In Eugene a committee of One
Hundred warned all idle men to keep
off the streets during the war.
Speaking of slackers, what
about orchardists who are cultivating
trees which have never borne pro-
fitable crop and never will? There
are thousands of acres Of such or
chards in the Rogue river valley oc-
cupying land which should be produc-
ing grain and hay. These fruit trees,
useless cumberers of the soil, are
kept alive for the sole purpose of be-
ing used for Sucker bait", the own
ers hoping to sell them to people
who are unacquainted with their USE
lessness. Is this right? A compe-
tent commission should condemn or
chards which are and always will be
hopelessly improbable and order the
land planted to those crops of which
there is scarcity.

A MORAL ARMY.

The more than a million men of the American Expeditionary forces constitutes the most moral army in the world, according to official statements of the United States Medical corps, says correspondent of The Associated Press, writing from Paris.
 Attributing the extremely low percentage of affected men in the army to the medical programs of the United States forces, medical officers say that the two important factors in the production of the most moral army were vigorous work programs coupled with the diversi- fled recreations of the camp and hygenic measures.
 At a meeting of the Research Society of the American Red Cross consisting of the medical officers of the United States army, the plan now in operation in the training camps of the United States, where illicit houses and the liquor traffic is suppressed, was spoken of as highly productive of results.
 The introduction in the training camps of the United States of ath- letic games, libraries, recreation halls under the Young Mems Christ ian Assocation and other organiza- tions, lectures, and wholesome amusements was hailed as a great step in the solution of the problem of vice in the army. The work of the chaplains, the universities and the press also was mentioned as playing a great part in the allevia- tion.
 The education of men along moral lines conducted by the medical off cers through literature which was distributed among the men. by ex- hibits and through the agencies of the War Department Commission of Training Camp Activities served to keep the men in the right mental attitude toward the problem the medical officers stated.

any hospital of an American sol der, sick or wounded, whether he belongs to the American army or to the British or Canadian forces. Every such soldier is visited at least once a week and is supplied with comforts of various kinds, including, whenever possible, copies of the local newspapers of his home town.
 More than 5000 Americans ir hospitals have received personal calls from the women of the care com mittee during the past few weeks, and the number of visitors make a special effort to get the men into touch with relatives and friends at home. Useful things to wear, made by the mothers and sisters, are actually placed in the hands of their boys by these American women visitors.
 
 Native school teachers are urging Alaska eskimos to give their child ren surnames in order that ancestry may be traced and families kept to- gether. Eskimos at present do not use family names and as a result, one cannot trace his family tree back more than one or two genera tions.
 'In every Eskimo family each person has a separate name, so we cannot trace our forefathers more than one or two generations, said Charles Menadalook, native teacher of the Kotzebue school, in an article he recently wrote on the subject.
 We Eskimos call ourselves Emu peak " Menadalook added. Ut means a real human being. While men are called 'Nalluakameuit' which in English means People who come from white tan seal skin. Our forefathers gave the white people that name because of the color of their skin.
 "We may be given a name by the white people but that will not be a real name to us. We must use our 'Epuneak' name for our last name"
