In hit annual report fur the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1915, David F.
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.

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.
