Scattering Tracts Left Out Becauae of Homestead Value. j Announcement is made hy the District Forester, George H. Cecil, Portland.-Oregon, of the classification, bv the Secretary of Agriculture, of practically all the lands within the boundaries of tho Whitman National Forest in north eastern Oregon. A net area of approximately 87i),218 acres is embraced in this classifica tion, and w small urea of 2,742 neres is lett for examination later. 1 V The Whitman National Forest lies j in the Blue Mountain region of ,(Jy northeastern Oregon, and, according j to the report, consists mainly of u , (fy large compact body of positive forest i land. The report shows that there is fpjg) a stand of about four billion feel of IjJij valuable commercial timber within fW) tho Forest, fifty per cent of which is j western yellow pine. There is also a rf considerable stand of young timber j k'gj and inferior species which hus a I high value for watershed protecti-m j & $j for the streams which lire used for "Swfr irrigation outside the National Forest. C S j This Forst. it is said, has little I . . . ; . tf.i-. agnculturu! viuue, and isolated, scat tered tracts only could bo used for farm purposes. The soil, although fertile, is rocky and shallow, and al though records are meager, tho rain fall is known to vary from 10 to 40 inches, the snowfall from 20 inches to 30 feet in the higher altitudes the snow conies as late as mid-June or as j early as the last of August; and kill ing irosts occur every month in the j year. Tho temperature is also known ' Legal Holiday jjij) At all times our Country j" stands in need of patriots men, women and child "Of ren who so live that the Nation is made stronger ijjjj by their individual strength.

Practically tho'?f) UA'' MA' . 01 H entire Forest is at elevations' from 4,ouo to 10,000 feet. The topography ' is rough, characterized by deep, pre- j ksJ l cipitous canyons, and jagged peaks. I Although over 70,000 ueres of alien- kEJ nted land exist within thte Forest boundaries, taken up under the Home- j . ' ' stead and the Timber and Stone Acts, it is claimed that most Attempts ntjfip TLp agriculture have proven failures, and HC a largo per cent of the private lands i jnjh, . . , . either been abandoned or are being i& I JtllipH SraTPSl hold for their timber and grazing ' -'"ll'cu JIHICO National value. i In view, therefore, of tiles'! circum- ! SrJ stances, and with tho evcnnt.ion nf i w S' small isolated tracts, aggregating 2. 742 acres, left for later examination, the Secretary hiis classified tho entire area of the Whitman National Forert as chiefly valuable for forest pur poses and not suited to agriculture or lintable under the Act of Juno 11, 1900.
