I'residenl Koosevclt, in flaming

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.

l ull out Timfcf-r Land.
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. Oregonian
