FOREST notes
(By the Superior Forest office.)

Guards Matt Markovich, Arthur
Jylha and Uno Tikkala who have
been emvloyed on the North Shore
Division of the Superior National
Forest during the past field season
have returned to Ely, as the Forest
Service summer field work is term
mated for the season.

The Forest Service has just re-
ceived a new 6 H. P. Speeder which
will be used on the Cloquet Line.
The Service has long been in need
of such a speeder and both protec
ton work and general administra-
ton on the Big Lake District will be
very greatly facilitated in the fut-.
ure.

Ranger Valentine plans on taking
in crew to burn brush on the
Cloquet sale in the vicinity of
Camp 8. The job will last several
weeks and it is expected to have
the sale area in good shape before
snowfall
Guard Markovicch, who has been
employed in the vicinity of Chero-
kee and Brule Lakes in the Sawbill
Ranger District on the North Shore,
states that game is very, very
plentiful in that vicinity. Matt
had charge of a portage crew in
that district and he reports that
there was not day that they did
not see moose and bear. Fox are
also very numerous and Matt re-
ports that he saw at least dozen
of the red and cross variety.
At one time when Guard Erick-
son made a trip from Sawbill station
to Cascade at the end of the old
Alger line he ran into a pack of
fifteen timber wolves that were
travelling along the railroad right of
way. Guard Erickson reports that
the wolves made no effort to get
out of the way and were not the
least bit frightened. The wolves
in that region appear to be very
bold and they can be heard driving
deer in broad daylight.
Mats portage crew also had the
experience of being freed by an
enraged bull moose. It happened
that Matt was in advance of his
crew looking over the portage loca-
ton when he sighted a large bull.
Matt paid no attention to this and
kept moving ahead, but the moose
made no effort to turn aside and
instead moved towards Matt who
thought this very strange and came

Trees Cause Drought

Although throughout most of the
world the influence Of forests is to in
crease in rainfall through increase Of
the humidity of the atmosphere, or at
least to equalize conditions through
out the year, curious reversal of this
action has been reported from Aus
tralia. Some trees there are resistant
to drought through their ability to re-
tain to the utmost what moisture they
contain. giving off little Of it to the
air.
II this type Of forest Is cut off and
replaced with grass and farm crops,
more moisture gets into the atmos-
phere and an increased rainfall results.
Mountain forests increase rainfall
through their ability to condense the
moisture Of low clouds and fogs.-
