T he C oquille H erald VOL. 35. COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1917. NO. 44 ’5 CASE FORESTRY NOTES. What Our Forestry Department Is Accomplishing. The National Forest Reservation Commission recently approved the purchase of 52,000 acres of land in the Wrhite Mountains and southern Appa lachians, making the total amount the government has purchased or is acquiring under the Weeks Law prac tically one and a half million acres. The Forest Service is erecting six new standard fire lookout statious in Oregon and Washington this year. Ready cut material for these build ings is now on its way to the summits of Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. McLaughlin, Wagner Butte, Rustler Peak, and Kiona Peak. The thirteen tree nurseries main tained by the Forest Service have an annual output of ten million seedlings, which are used in reforestation work on the National Forests. This is suf ficient to plant 15,000 acres, spacing the trees eight feet apart in each di rection. Nearly one-half the population of Oregon obtains its drinking water from the National Forsets of the State. Lightning caused 23 per cent of the fires on the National Forests of Oregon and Washington in 1916. Careless campers were responsible for almost as many. The Secretary of Agriculture has approved co-operative road work plans on fifteen Forest road proejets in the state of Oregon, whick involves $1,114,194 of Federal money. This is matched by a similar sum of state and county money. The Forest Service has specially prepared photograph and wood speci men exhibits which are loaned to pub lic schools and libraries on request. F I1 L FOOD CONSERVATION PLANO FIGURES WON’T LIE?
