Houston, Secretary o' Axriciilliirc, in. dicatcs a number of important meas ures for the coiiacrvation of the re tourers of I lie Nation. Among these, iiic.murcs arc: 1. Asm'stancc to coinniuiiitici near the National forest in road buildiiiK and iiitnilar improvements IhroiiKh a llan involving the advatieeinent of fundi for these purposes to be chanc ed axainst the state's future share of receipts from the forests. 2. Authority to grant water power permits within the National -forests for fixed periods. 3. Classification of the remaining public grazing lands to determine 1 heir character and secure informa tion upon which to base plans for their future improvement and use. In regard to aid for local improve ments, the Secretary states that "as sistance should he given in the build ing of roads to bring into productive use the resourscs of such regions Therefore the suggestion contained in the last annual report is repeated, that upon a showing of public neces sity, appropriations he made for spe cific roads and simitar improvements. to he charged against the State's fut ure share of receipts from the Forests. This action would promote local deve lopment of agriculture and other re Hourses." In the matter of water power, the Secretary points out that the National Forests contain approximately one- half the water power of the west. Un fortunately the present law does not nuthorizc the granting of permits for fixed periods. It should lie amended ml recomendations to this end have been made repeatedly. The report continues that while authority to grant term permits undoubtedly would lid water power' utilization, the fact remains that development, practical ly to the extent of the market, is now taking place on the Forests. s o u T H E R N P A C I F I C The Overland Trail in the days of '19 was the drcct route across the continent.

OPEN EVENINGS HUDKIN'S 5-10-15 and 25c Store Are you worrying about what to give your father, brother, or gentlemen friend for Chriatmaa? Gifts Worth Giving It is not the price you pay nor the size or grandness of the gift that makes it most appreciated, but the love that prompts the giving and the usefulness of the gift. Don't give a man or boy something that is "just pretty"; he won't tell you, but he won't like it so well as if it were something he could use. Notice these suggestions: Hankerchiefs, neckties, suspenders, socks, cuff buttons, tie pins, sleeve holders, belts, purses, collar bags, combination sets, shirts, hats, gloves, umbrellas, canes, mackinaw coats, bath robes, house coats, sweaters, shoes, rubbers, suits, overcoats, raincoats. Let the family all club together and buy the boy a suit of clothes or mack inaw for, Christmas and see if he don't like it about the best of any thing you ever bought him.
