Oregon has a natural interest In that part of tho report of tho Secre- nry of Agriculture which is devoted permanent (improvements on the government's national forests, Such ork as the construction of tulles of road and trail, telephone Hues, drift d pasture fences, ranger houses d barns, has opened up nnd Im proved many simaro miles of terri tory in the i:i national forests of the state, and for these and similar pur poses $55,191.33 was spent during the last nscal year. Four hundred thlrty-sevon miles of trail and 24 miles of rond were built. miles of telephone lines were strung, and tho forest ranges wore mproved by the construction of 119 lies of pnsture fence. During the ear 23 houses, to be used for ranger quarters, nnd 2 barns and 2 corrals. for rangers' horses were built. Four bridges were constructed and various Iscellancous Improvements . were mnde. In spenkfmg of the permanent mprovonient work on all tha na tional forests, the Secretary of Ag- curture has the following to say In Is annual reiwrt: 1 'he agricultural appropriation act of 11)08 included an item of $f)00,000, which was mndo available for permanent Improvement work on the national forests. - The object of lhin work Is to help open up tho for ests to more it so and provldo menus for their better and moro economical protection, through tho supply of menus or communication and trans portation, well-located field quar ters, fire lines, fences to assist In the nnd ling of , stock, and watering laces. These Improvements are es sentially Investments of cnpMal hich add greatly to the value and usefulness of the forests. 'The work completed during yenf Included 34 00 miles of trails. 200 miles of telephone line, 100 miles of wagon rond. 40 miles of lire 2H0 bridges, 550 cabins nnd barns, nnd 600 miles of pnsture and rift fences. In addition to the bum provided by tho special-Improvement fund, over sino.oiiu from dho gen ernl fund of the service was turned over to current expenses to defray the cost of this work, but much of the work planned nnd urgently needed could not he carried out becnusn here was nothing with which to pay for it. Detailed estimates covering a total of $2,000,000 for permanent mprovements, which lit. was desired o complete lu 1000, were submitted o Congross. They showed for the nuro amount exactly whnt It was proposed to underlnko on each lonnl forest and at what cost. The mount provided by the nuproprla Hon was $000,000. For 1910 phM mates will ogaln be submitted for permanent Improvements, the cost of which aggregate $974,981. These estimates are the result of spec! lie nd fully Itemized plans, which are n file In the forest service. They are 11 no sense a request for a lump sum. the spending of which remains to he lanned In detail after appropriation is made. It (h of urgent Importance hat this work should be provided for. 'Though the construction of per mnnent improvements entnlls the need of provision for their mainten nee, the added eflicfcencT of the for- ents as economic resources secured through these Improvements richly repnys the cost. With the national forests as with any other resources their returns depend on the extent which development takes place hrough Judicious outlays of capital r the land Is not to remain a wilder ness It must he made serviceable to tho needs of civilized man by con struct I vo expenditures.
