The three days' meeting of the
stockmen ef the western division
of the Blue Mountain National
Forest began ita work here Wed
nesday morning under the direc
tion of A. S. Ireland, supervisor.
A very good attendance was
noted for the first day, many
prominent stockmen from all parts
of the National Forest being
present
The meeting has assumed great
importance as it has been decided
by the Forest 8ervice to allow the
stockmen the privilege of determin
ing boundaries between the sheep
and cattle interests and also the
power to change the district divid
ing lines.
Twelve committees were ap
pointed, one-half of each, repre
senting cattle interests, the other
sheep men. If conclusions can be
reached in committee the meeting
will not assume the right to alter
their decisions. Reports are ex
pected from most of these com
mittees this morning when other
work will be taken up.
Those appointed on committees
are: A. u. Mcintosh, w. w. Urown.
I. M. Mills, C. J. Johnson. R. J.
Williams, and J. C. Gilchrist,
from district number 5.
F. A. Powell, D.

Applications for grazing for the
season of 1908 are being received
but will not be acted upon for
some time, as a decision must be
arrived at by the forest service as
to the amount of stock that will be
admitted.
Mr. Kueipp of Washington, D.
C, is present and will make an
address today.
Much importance is given the
meeting here as a mutual decision
will practically be reached that
will eliminate the "range war."

The United Statea office of pub
lic roada will supply this paper
with practical articles on various
feature of road building and
maintenance, which will be pub
lished from time to time. Our
subscribers are urged to give this
matter careful consideration, and
are requested to iorward to this
office for transmission to the office
of public roads any practical ques
tion which they desire answered
relating to Toad construction and
maintenance. Questions and ans
wers will be published by this
paper at suitable intervals.
We may recognize the value of
hard and durable roads in all
parts of the country, but still the
fact remains that for a long time
to come the majority of the roads
will be composed of earth, fur
thermore, in. about nine months
out of the year, the earth road, if
properly cared for, is reasonably
satisfactory. For many agricul
tural districts, it is-the only road
at present available. Hence,
these communities should set
themselves seriously to work to
earn the beet methods of main
taining earth roads and of getting
the maximum service from them.
Prosperity comes to the country to
great extent . through the pros
perity of the farmers. This fact
strongly suggests the importance
of giving the earth road every pos
sible care and attention in its loca
tion, drainage, construction and
maintenance. .
An earth road composed of
water holding soil should be ex
posed to the suu and air as freely
aa possible, as comparison between
the shaded and sunny portions of
such a road will easily indicate.
"ore 1.1 i j i .i:i i i,..
ciearl muv tfmount of
trees and undergrowth away from
the road. It must be remembered,
however, that sandy and gravelly
roads require moisture, and in
these cases some shade should be
retained. Furthermore, trees are
beneficial along river banks and
on t teep grades subject to washing
Drainage is one of the most im
portant points to consider in con
nection with an earth road. The
majority of earth roads in all
mountainous and hilly districts
have too much drainage. Occas
ionally a road will be found with
five ditches, three in the middle
made by the horses' hoofs and by
wheels of the vehicles, and two on
the sides. All well-constructed
earth roads are supposed to have
no more than two ditches, one on
each side of the traveled roadway.
Keep the water out of the middle
of the road by giving it a crown
or elevation in the center of "i
inches above the top of the inner
sIods of the ditch for a 20-foot
road, and where the hills are
little steep make the crown 10 in
ches. With a crown of about one
inch to the foot from the center to
the sides, the ditches which are
often built across the road on steep
grades to deflect the water will not
be needed. Instead of carrying
water across the road in open
ditches, title or concrete drains
should, if possible, be provided.
They shovld have sufficient capac
ity and fall to carry the maximum
amount of water that is expected
to flow through them at any one
time. The capacity is increased
in proportion to the fall or grade;
for instance, 12-inch pipe laid on a
i 1 1
one per ceni craae wiu carry
1,800 gallons per minute, while
same pipe laid on a 2 per cent
grade will carry 2,500 gallons per
minute. Furthermore, a culvert
laid fiat will soon fill up, while one
having a good incline will keep
itself clear.
In the maintenance of au earth
road, avoid the mistake of chang
ing the natural order of things.
Naturally the soil is found on top
and the clay on the bottom. If
this order is reversed in construct
ing a road, the result will be less
satisfactory than if the soil be left
at the top of the road, for soil
makes a better surface to a road
than clay. If the road bed is
largely clay to start with, it will
be well to place sandy soil or clean
sand on top. A covering of 6 to
10 inches of sand upon clay that
persisW in breaking up into deep
mudhnlea will usually be satisfac
tory, and if sand enough be added,
this clay will cease to make mud.
the roadbed is composed of
sand it can be improved by an
pplication of clay.
'The rule for a serviceable earth
road, then, is as follows: Make
itches on each side and keep
them open; haul aand and gravel
upon sections needing this treat
ment; use a road machine and a
plit log dray judiciously (a full
escription of which will be con
tained in a later article); follow
the "stitch iu time" rule and give
an earth road the same careful
persistent attention you would
give your prize acre, factory or
store, and it will pay as large
profit in proportion to your in-
ividual outlay.

Redmond, Ore., January 27.
The Crook County Journal is a
great paper. We are always glad
to get it for the Redmond news it
gives that are not contained in the
Redmond letter. Last week it
was the return of F. L. Ricker and
amily to their home here.
Carl Ehret will register Red
mond voters until the books close.
The date of primaries we believe
is April 17 and books are open for
registering until within two weeks
of that date. Come up like men
now and register so you can vote.
Bring two witnesses with you.
We still insist that some one f
will have to find more seats for the
hall. Saturday night at the set
tlers meeting not more than about
half of the audience could be
seated. Among other good things
iijerT" of the Redmond Jour
nal. Its editor and reporter had
the writer of these notes "skinned
city block" when it comes to
getting news. Drom the Journal
we learned of the increase in the
Brown family, seven in one day-
all from Washington.
Neighbor O. H. Long has moved
out again to his homestead.
We have several inquiries to
answer from intending settlers and
prospective purchasers regarding
the advantages and disadvantages
of this country. Some of the
questions they ask are pretty hard
to answer. What does it cost to
clear land? That varies a good
deal. How deep are the wells?
We quote an answer to that ques
tion that we got ourselves. Here
as everywhere else wells vary in
depth and that was given as an
answer regarding the wells on the
segregation.
Asocial hop at McClay's after
the meeting Saturday night was
very much enjoyed by those pres
ent. Mrs. M. E. Landes has been t
just about sick for the past week.
