"Tlie people of Eastern Oregon
cannot preserve their agriculture
without keeping up their forest res

its forests in their integrity. Baker
county is naturally as arid as Utah,
and these waters must be well cared
for and saved. A dry sunny climate
is one of the choicest gifts of
Providence and one of tho greatest
Messing that humanity 'enjoys,
that is if the people living in that
climate preserve their waters. One
thorough forest fire, such a often
occurs in western boundaries ot
woods, would utterly destroy Baker

fabulous sum of 13 per week, and I

is to ascertain the cost and the
capacity of recovering the deep

worker and on the trip he had us
