on the four switches of the railroad
yards here and congested things until
not a wheel could move.
A Red Cross supply train of 30 cars,
bound for Bucharest, came up behind
the French trains and completed the
tieup of communications.
Ten Americans were marooned for
nine days on board the Red Cross
train.
Sends Train to Investigate.
Roumanian merchants who were
relying on the prompt delivery of the
French goods sent a special train from
Bucharest to investigate the delay.
Szabadka, an important town on the
frontier between Hungary and Serbia,
was cut off from all communication
with the outside world.
The Serbian soldier who was the in
nocent cause of all this trouble was
driving his car merrily northward one
day when the steering gear went
wrong. He stopped, found the cause
of the difficulty and decided that he
needed a piece Of stout wire to repair
| the damage. He reached up to the
long-hanging, single-wire telegraph
line and cut off a generous section.
Having fixed his car, he drove blithely
on. The wire gave out presently and
he renewed it twice, thrice, four or five
times, from the telegraph line beside
the road.
Meanwhile the trains of French mer-
chandise had begun arriving at Sza-
badka. Official sanction was necessary
for the cars to proceed. The frontier
officials framed the proper sort Of tele.
gram, and 1t was duly countersigned
and presented to the operator.
Trains Congest Yards.
He reported that the wire was mot
working" So the frontier officials de
cided to wait until it began to work.
They waited two days, while more and
more trains drew into the %congested
yards. Szabadka was cut off from
wire communication. Mails go only
once a week, and then only If trains
are running.
The telegraph officials finally de-
cided to send out a Incorporating
party. The party returned after an.
other days delay, with the announce
ment that so many breaks had been
found their supply Of spare wire had
given out.
Meanwhile, congestion in the yards
increased and the appeals from the
French c%onvoyers, the American con-
voyers and the Roumanian merchants
became more urgent. 1t was a full
week, however, before the wires had
finally been restored and the official
vises obtained. By that time the block
ade had become so complicated that II
will probably take a month to put

have been abandoned. Some high
grade ores have been found, and the
general belief is that the region con-
tains an abundance of low-grade ore,
but its commercial use has not been
possible because of inadequate trans
portation facilities. Control of the
area as National Forest land, once op-
posed because it was feared that it
might retard mine development, is now
seen to be a practical step toward
proper use of the mining as
well as conservative utilization of
grazing facilities.
Travel Is Difficult.
At present the roads, trails, and
bridges are in a sad state of disrepair,
making travel over them on foot or by
horseback impossible. One of the i'm
portant undertakings of the forest
service, now that the tract has been
added to adjoining national forests,
will be to supply the area with i'm
proved lines of travel.
A large and important watershed is
included in this area, which is esti-
mated to supply at least 1000 second
feet of water to the Columbia river at
low-water periods. 1t is roughly esti-
mated that more than 100000 horse
power could be generated from waters
rising in the area. The region includes
no natural wonders, large lakes or

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Washington, D. Gin accord with
almost unanimous sentiment in Idaho
and in response to considerations vital
Iy affecting adjoining national forests,
congress has set apart 1,116,O00 acres
of land in Idaho known as Thunder
Mountain region, as national forest
lands. This great tract, difficult of ac-
ceSs and having not V e l per cent
of its area suitable for agriculture, has
for years been the scene of destructive
fires and devastation due to overgraz-
ing. 1t Is now to be added to the Pay
cite national forest which adjoins it
on the south and west, and the Idaho
national forest which adjoins it on the
north and west. The area lies approx
imately 100 miles northeast of Boise.
Because uncontrolled, it has been a re-
curing to the adjoining ma
tional forests by reason of fires that
have gained great Roadway in its vast
unpatrolled regions.
Swept by Forest Fires.
What has taken place in the Thun-
der Mountain region, according to Off
Gals Of the forest service, United
States department of agriculture, is
typical of what would have taken place
in most of the national forests had
these areas not been protected. Three
hundred thousand acres, or approx
mately one-third Of the area, has been
swept by forest fires in the past twelve
years, destroying approximately 700,-
100000 feet of timber. The mining re-
sources, after being specifically ex-
plotted by miners with scant equip
ment, have remained practically un-
developed. Much of the wild life has
been ruthlessly eXterminated, and the
grazing lands have been destroyed by
nomadic herds. The number of sheep
which have been grazing without re-
striction or regulation during the past
year total nearly 100000, whereas a
fair estimate of the carrying capaci-
ty" of the entire country has been
placed at $4,000 to 10000 head of
sheep.
