on the watersheds .of the stream In
question, the order prohibiting graalng
will be modified so as to protect we
Interests ot the sheepmen and at the
same time feheck any tendency there
may be to over-grase the forest or
damage the water supply used for Ir

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

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

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
