Forest Service
Sets Aside Land
8Ol 900 Acres In State To e
Called North Cascade
Primitive Area

The United States regional forest
office at Portland has announced
that the forest service has set aside
an area of Sol, 900 acres in northern
Washington to be known as the
North Cascade primitive area.
This territory stretches across the
summit of the Cascade mountains
directly south of the Canadian
boundary, and includes some of the
toughest and widest mountain area
left in the entire United States.
This strip of wilderness rs miles
long in an east and west direction
extends from the international
boundary south for a distance of
81 miles. It is already a part of the
MT. Baker national forest en- the
western slope of the Cascades and
the Chelan national forest on the
eastern side.
No Change In Policy
So far as can be learned at the
present time, there will be little
difference as to the manner in
which this area will be handled by
the forest service than the present
policy applying to national forests,
except that in the primitive area,
no improvements of any kind what
soever will be made beyond trails
for fire protection and the use of
those who want to enjoy real out
door life. Hotels, recreation camps,
summer cabins and auto roads are
all barred. fa@
1t is the plan of the forest de-
partment to retain this area in the
natural state as a refuge for wild
animal life and also that the gen.
erations who follow may see at
least a part of the northwest as the
early pioneers found it when they
pushed their way westward.
Protects Watershed
The setting aside of this land is
of special interest and Importance
to the citizens of : the Okanogan
valley as it comprises practically the
entire watershed supplying the
Oroville- Tonasket irrigation district
with water, land it assures the per-
manence of this water supply for
all time. Other irrigation districts
lying to the south also will benefit
from the protection of their water
sheds.

contracted infantile paralysis.
Bitten BY Rattlesnake
Sheriff's officers learned that bad
luck had dogged White recently.
About three weeks ago he climbed
down celler ladder and was struck
by rattlesnake which had fallen
in the pit. Believing he had been
stung by a bee the injured man
went without aid for 80 hours, suf-
fering intensely. The snake was
later found in the cellar. For almost
a week he had been unable to sleep
either night or day.
His mother, Mrs. j. White, and
a sister, Hilda, who now live in
California, are well known in
Loomis, having lived here years
ago. He also has a sister in England.
Two uncles, Herbert and Vic
Champneys, were pioneers Of the
