Forestry Official Tells of Work Being Done in Securing Data on Actual Value of Land Held by Government For Stock Grazing Purposes. Appraisal of the stock range wilh in the national forest Is the aim and purpose of a party which will leave here the first of next week on a hard and difficult trip lito the lim it ee territory to secure data and in formation on range In tfiat section of tho forest. The party will bo composed of I). C. Ingram, range ap praiser, Forest Supervisor Carl II. Neal and rangers O. C. Ilouser and Fred Assam. The trip will take sev eral days and,It Is expected that a great deal of valuable Information will bo obtained which will be of benefit in the work now being un dertaken. A great deal has been said lntely about range appraisal work but few people really understand the import ance of this work and lis relation to future industry in Western Oregon and In fact on the entire Pacific coast. Two years ago congressmen repre senting the livestock districts of tho middle west began to complain that stockmen of the Pacific coast had an unfair advantage because of the low rates charged for grazing privileges in the national forest. It was claim ed that Pacific coast stockmen could secure money with which to develop driveways making a much better op portunity for getting stock to the markets. The old idea which prevailed for many years .that the forest service was antagonistic to the Interests of the stockmen and homesteaders has been dispelled in all but the remote sections, Mr. Ingram says, and now the best of cooperation exists be tween the forest service and the stockmen. They are devoted to the solution of like problems and their mutual cooperation is proving of un told benefit to both parties. RAILROAD STRIKE AGAIN THREATENED (By Associated Press.)
