Considerable discussion is being i .
indulged in regarding thepropof-td
forest reserve, both pro and con.
So far as Crook county is concern
ed, it seems to be a good thing as
it will tend to settle the range
question, but as to that portion of
it in Grunt county, that borders
Bear valley we are of the opinion
that it is no special benefit. The
reason underlying the creation of
forest reserves is, that they con
serve the water supply and are an
aid to the reclamation of arid land.
From a scientific standpoint the
preservation of the timber on a
given area of land is the best
means for the conservation of the
itive stage and is now about to
j enter upon a career for which she
I is eminently fitted and will event
ually become one of the foremost
of the state in productiveness.

A noticeable feature about our

absence of signs boards at tne in

Probably one of the greatest nat
ural curiosities in the world, whose
existence is but little known, is the
great mountain of salt located at
Cardona, Spain, in the, foothills of
the Pyrenees. This marvel stands
in a dreary and inaccessible region,
off the highway of travel and is
only reached by a drive of 25 miles
in a mule eart.
A party of scientists recently vit
ised this giant salt mountain and
reported some interesting facts in
regard to the same. The mountain
is several thousand feet high and
is estimated to contain 500,000,000
tons of rock salt. This enormous
quantity of salt is made more ap
parent by the fact that the border
ing country of France consumes
700,000 tons a year, so that this
mountain alone could furnish
France with salt enough to last for
700 years.
The mountain is on private land
and is only worked to a limited
extent.
