Fork road.
FOREST POLICIES
s'Mr. Silcox discussed the ques-
ton of the funds available for road
work, from the Forest Department
what they were supposed to be used
for, and under what conditions they
were to be expended. He explained
that the funds were not supposed to
build auto roads, but roads for the
use of the settlers
HE stated that he could prom
Use $1,000 for the North Fork road
and possibly $1,000 or $4,000. Stat
ing that the Department considered
it better to allot a large amount to
one work, and not divide it up among
a lot of places, and not be able to
complete any of them.
HE stated that the total milage
of the road to Coal creek was %
miles, that there were IL miles in
the Forest Reserve and 10 miles out
side. The latter 10 miles would have
to be built by the county.
"In regard to cutting of timber
in the Reserves, Mr.. Silcox stated
that the Department wanted to cut
the timber on all land that could be
available for Agriculture land, so
that it could be opened for home
stealing, and to encourage the set
Ting up of all land so cut over.
Touching on the resources of the
two reserves in this district, he sta
ted that all the timber in these res
erves could be used for pulp, and
that there were five large mills in
the Iron Range in Minnesota, that
would have to come West for their
! supply in the next five years.
i RICHT-OF-WAY CLEARED
''Mr. Mclaughlin stated that the
timber on the right-of-way of the
North Fork road had practically all
been cut, and that the way cut
through the entire length -
