THE : OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY, AUGUST 16. 1915. - w- A'ORK ACCOMPLISHED BY FOREST IS Ninety Miles of Road, .426 : : of Trail and '625 of Tele phone Built In Two' States, MOST WORK BY RANGERS X-artr Pirt Son In Orofoa; Commas leatlon ZTlopinat Za Ala. . Figures JtiBt Complied by th -Forest 'Service covering its work in WaKlng-i- ton and Or; on for the fiscal year end ' ing- June 30, 1915, show. among other ; things, that the service hag built 90 miles of 138(5, 426' miles of trail, and ' 25 miles of telephone line, . besides erecting 12 bridges and 30 lookout ; stations. The detailed figures give the Ore gon forests 85 miles of road, 263 miles of trail, 456 miles of telephone wire, 'five bridges and 27. lookouts; while ' to the Washington forests have been , added five miles of road, 159 miles of trails 170 miles of telephone, beven bridges and - three lookouts. The bridges represent only structures eoat- .Ing over 1100. Small bridges over 'culverts and the -like are ranked as part of the road. For administrative . purposes the service has also built in Oregon 24 cabinseight barns. 20 miles ' of pasture fence, and developed 10 springs; and in. Washington it has erected 12 cabins and one barn, built 10 miles of pasture fence, and devel . oped nine springs. The -rangers have , done, a large part of the labor neces sary in making these Improvements. It is the policy of the service to de- velop communication as rapidly as funds will permit, not .only because ' roads and trails and telephones .mean better protection for the forest wealth which the government is guarding, but because these means of communication also make the national forests more ac cessible to the general public. To date in Washington and Oregon, "over 4000 miles each of trail and telephone have been built; and 101 bridges and 65 lookouts have been erected. Of the bridges, seven are of suspension type, 400 Americans in Mexico Starving M. Parker, Diplomatic Agent at Mex ico City, Reports He la Feeding Some; Infantry I,aves Texas City.
