I'residenl Koosevclt, in flaming liis forestry policy, advise with such men um Commissioner W. A. liiclnirds, of the (icncral Land Ollicc; Cliief Forester (iiffurd l'in- Imt, of the Department of Agricul ture, and K. V. (Njville, Botanist of j the Agriculturist Ucjiartnient. All j three are liroad-(!iiup'd men, and j men who arc very familiar with ' the conditions of the West. I Not one is. a theorist; every one is practical. Commissioner Kicli urds, while realizing the import ance of forest preservation and the conservation of the water supply, dm s not sympathize with the old methods of creating forest resrrves, without regard to (he character of lands included, lie helievcs in for est reserves, Imt lie also believe ill giving sheep and cattle men the benefit of the public ranges. There fore he favor grazing within for est reserves where there are acces sible ranges that can be grazed without interfering with the pur poses for w hich the reserves were created and are maintained. Illvm llulrk will nl Nerve. Mr. I'inchot, in a recent conver sation with The Orcgoniiin corres ismdeiit, expressed nimiKr, views. He docs not believe ill Ironclad rules governing grazing. Condi tions in different reserves make varying regulations necessary. A system that would work well in Or egon would be a complete failure in Arizona. Therefore, says Mr. I'inchot, discretion should be shown, and where grazing, under restriction, works no injury it should be permitted to continue. "So far as I am concerned," said he "we will never ndupt the policy of prohibiting grazing in all forest re serves. Such a step would not he wise." Mr. Coville several years ago made nil extensive study of the Cascade forest reserve, with a view a view to ascertaining the effects of sheep and cattle grazing. Since that time lie has advocated re stricted grazing of both sheep and cattle, along the general lines that have been carried out. If Failure I. audi, are Klintlunle a. Considerable interest centers in the work tlia't lias been ordered in the Yellowstone forest reserve in Wyoming. There, after a thorough examination, the grazing lands are to lie culled out of the reserve, and will again he opened to the undis turbed use of the sheep and the cattle men. There has been a mighty clamor in Wyoming against the extension of the forest reserves of the state, largely because much of the added hind is not valuable for timber, but is simply and solely grazing land. Keprrsentalivo Mondcll, of that state, lias always ridiculed the Yel lowstone forest reserve, because of this fact, lie savs the wen who fixed the boundaries of tjie Yellow stone reserve could not have in cluded less actual timber land if they had tried. This instance is perhaps extreme, for while consid er;', ble areas of ngricuUtir.il and grazing lands were included in the original forest reserves of Oregon and Washington, yet the main por tions of those reserves was timber land. r:.irrlni'lllli lo He .Hude. There are ollieials here who pre- I diet that the opening up of the now reserved ranges of Wyoming will ultimately result in their destruc tion, for they contend that once they are removed from the juris diction and control of forest rang , cr, there will bo no effort made ! looking to the perpetuation of the range, and lis a result they will be over-grazed and destroyed.. Never- ; thcless, while these lands remain j within the forest reserve, the hand Office is under a constant fire of protests, and Commissioner Rich ards has determined to find out by experiment whether these ranges can be given over to the stockmen. If, as- is feared .by some, the ranges are destroyed, there will be ample justification fur the depart ment again lo bring these lands within the forest reserve, so that the grass may lie given an opwr tunity to grow, and thereafter be controlled so as to prevent a recur rence of the disaster. On the other baud, if the stockmen take suffi cient interest in the ranges to pre vent over-grazing, and take other stepi lo perpetuate the supply of grass, the action in Wyoming will lie precedent for a similar course in other public land states, where a cry has gone up from the stock men that their range has been re served and taken from them.

Mr. Lytic has kept in close touch with the development of the disease, as it has materially affect ed the plans be has made. He is now of the opinion that another week will see the diseaso entirely wiied out and work on the irriga tion plans will be taken tip.

The Oregon Development Com pany, which is endeavoring, through the State of Oregon, to so- cure the segregation of a large tract of land on the Upper Des chutes River, with a view to its reclamation under the Carey act. has filed its answer to the recent ruling of the General Land Office holding the land within said sec tion to be timber in character. The original selection embraced brt.OOO acres tributary to the Up per Deschutes, but in its answer the company ask permission to amend its survey in a way to elim inate from 10,000 to 15,000 acres of this land. The company explains, that the original map was erroneously drawn from field notes and includ ed land which it concedes is tim ber land, and for whose withdraw al it was not the intention to ask. The remaining fifty odd thousand acres it insists is actually desert .land, and says that whatever tim ber may be found thereon is a character native to arid regions only. , Inasmuch as the original report of Special Agent Green held the bulk of the Oregon Development Company's proposed withdrawal to be timber land, it is probable the department may order a new examination or will at least refer the amended map to Mr. Green for further recommendation. The amended map has not been re ceived, but C. W. Idleman, of Portland, representing the com pany, and who is now in Washing ton, says it is on the way. He hopes to have early action from the department, and is confident that at least a major portion of the land included in the amended map will be withdrawn for reclamation under the Carey act.
