' Because ot the Important bearing of the problem on graalng matters In th. west, I deem It wise to make th. correspondence publlo at this time In order that ther. will be no chance or misunderstanding on the part of any Interest The protection ot the : watershed. and streams supplying Irrigation! ervolra depends primarily upon th. possibility of giving full protection to al areas where graalng ts allowed. The fewer forest officers there are to attend to the graalng business on the national forests the more . land will have to ba closed to grazing. It must b. remembered, therefore. that any reduction in the force ot tho forest service would necessarily be an attack on the entire grazing In dustry ot th. west. Past experience has proven that stock can be allowed to graze, under proper regulation,, .on area , from which it would be necessary to ex. elude It- It the range could not be properly petroled.' Th. same situa tion Is true regarding the permanent v to Improvements. The more water mat and la developed, th. more division, fences made that are constructed, the more road., atlon trails and bridge, that ar built, .the In en- more permanent th. range will be and e stack-1 the mor stock It Will carry, find: The West Coast Portland Cement company has authorised the inaugu ration of work on the proposed ce ment plant to b. located on the upper Snake river and a force or men wui soon be sent to the upper river to be gin work on the foundations and tern porary buildings. Th decision was reached at a meeting of stockholder held In Seattle last week, at which time the .lection ot officer waa held and the office was moved from Se attle to Spokane. The meeting waa atended by J. P.- Langan and J. M. Edwards of Lewlston, Mr. Langan be ing elected to the position of man ger. The outlook for th company ts very bright," said, Mr. Langan this morning, "and by fall we expect to have a plant ln operation that will manufacture a least 100 barrels of cement a day. This plant will be en' larged within a short time, and plan, provide for actively entering th. field for th. cement business of th. entire northwest. Th. Improvement to be made this summer will probably cost 175,000, and the machinery for this plant now being elected." Made Quick Catch of Thief .
