Mr. Evans has a wide and very inti
mate connection with large1 financial
houses in the east is well known to
those interested in the project here,
and it is apparent that he has no
fears about promptly financing the
line just as soon as the surveys and
other preliminary work are done.
It is planned to carry on the con
struction work throughout the winter,
thought there may be some delays be
cause of seriously inclement weather.
Mr. L. C. Rogers, the engineer in
charge of the survey work, has his
force of men now well broken in to
work together and the survey is pro
ceeding rapidly. Following is a list
of the personnel of the survey force:
L. C. Rogers, chief engineer of
California; E. L- Williams, draftsman,
of Portland; L. L. Wood, transitman,
of Berkeley,' Cal.; T. Mulhaupt, level
man, of Portland; L. C. Campbell,
rodman, Astoria. The others are
mostly from this city, as follows: L.
Upshur, head chainman; Guy 0. Tur
pin, rear chainman; Ed Short, stake
artist; J. W. .A. Wright, back flag
man', Nels Sorenson, Frank Thomas
arid Ed Hoff, axemen; with F. L..
Evans as engineer in charge and pro-
motor of the enterprise.
will take place not later than Janu
ary 1, 1909, and will probably begin
by October 1 of the present year.
At present the National Forests
are grouped under six districts with
headquarters as follows: District 1,
Missoula, Montana; District 2, Den
ver, Colorado; District 3, Alluuiier
(Uie, New Mexico; District 4, Salt
Lake, City, Utah; District 5, San
Francisco, California, and District 6,
Portland, Oregon. These, headquar
ters will remain unchanged under
the new plan of administration. Each
district will be in charge of an as
sistant forester who will ' deal di
rectly with the supervisor of the
forests of his district. Only ques
tions of special importance will be
submitted to the Washington office
for action, In this way, the regular
business of the forests will be much
expedited, while the men who have
charge of the business will be in al
most constant touch with the users
of the Forests, The men to take
charge of the several districts have
not as yet been selected, but they will
be chosen from those in the regular
service force who have had most ex
perience in the work on the National
Forests.
The growth of business on National
Forests resulting from the use of
their resources by the public, has
been steady and rapid ever since the
policy of wide use supplanted the
policy of restricted use, at the time
when the management of the Nation
al Forests was placed under the
Forest Service. One' of the big
problems of administration has been
to get into close ..touch with the users
of the National Forests, and this' has
already been partially solved by var
ious expedients, such as delegating to
local forest officers the authority to
transact a large part of the National
Forest' business. In this way the pub
lic and the service have been con
stantly brought closer together. A
second step in the same direction was
the recent transfer of headquarters
for supplies from Washington, D. C,
to Ogden,Utah. A third step was
the placing of a branch -of the office
of engineering, which has charge of
permanent improvements on the for
ests, also at Ogden, which i centrally
located. The contemplated change is,
therefore, merely the completion of a
plan wihch has already been partially
worked out
Probably one-third of the clerical
force now in Washington, mainly
stenographers and typewriters, will
go West to complete the organization
required in each field district. It is
expected that a sufficient number of
clerks in the Washington office will
desire assignments to the field head
quarters, so that it will not be neces
sary to send to the field those who do
not wish to go, and no new appoint
ments will be necessary. , In making
selections for the new posts the in
dividual preferences of the clerks
will be consulted so far as the work
permits.
The change will not affect the form
of organization of the Forest Service
in Washington. The officers will be
retained as at present, but with a
smaller force. All of the investiga
tive work done by the Service,' except
that directly connected with the ad
ministration of the National Forests,
will continue to be directed from
Washington,
