Farm hours wore long and hard, not only for the fanners them selves and their wives, but also for the children who were old enough to perform tho simplest kinds of labor. The schools wore small, ungraded, and poor, ill-adapted to tho uocds of tho people. Even the rural churches, whoro there were any, wore un Insplrntionnl, and offered Utile relief from tho monotony of country life. In a word, tho llfo of the farmer was characterized by constant, extreme physical drudgery, and by Isolation and monotony. "Is It any wonder, then, thnt tho farmers themselves did not desire that tholr Children should follow In tho footsteps of tholr paronts, but rather that thoy should engage In any kind of activity that might take them away frojn the farm, with Its narrow, uninviting, unprogres slve prospects; that their ambi tion was to have their sons and daughter follow vocations In which thero would bo a broader outlook, fairer prospects, great er happiness? Tho fact is that the greater opportunities for ad vancement found in city life, whether In tho professions, In business, In the trades, or even in common labor, were the mag netic forces which Irresistibility drew tho farm youth cityward. "Of course, the 'statements Jrst made are not applicable alike to all parts of tho country, or to all people engaged In agri cultural pursuits in any part of the country, but unquestionably such conditions did prevail gen erally, and constituted tho main reason for the tendency to leave tho country for- city occupations." family have gone to tho Springs.

According to figures Just com piled by tho Forest Service tho Forest Supervisors connected with tho Portland district, Issu ed during the fiscal year ending Juno 30, llllli, penults for 68!) different special uses on the Nat ional Forests of Oregon, Wash ington and Alaska. In tho National Forest Man ual, special uses aro defined as "all uses of National Forest lands" anil resources permitted by the Secretary of Agriculture, except thoBo specifically provid ed for In regulations covering water powor, timber sales, tim ber settlement tho free use of timber ;uid grazing." Those special uses aro many and var ied. A glance at the list shows such uses as boat-landings, resi dences, log chutes, railroads, dams, telephones, wagon roads, dairies, camp sites, tlumcs, dit ches, stores, schools, churches, hotels, corrals, cabins, and tho like. In the forests of Washing ton are a few uses somewhat unusual In nature, a water trolley on the Chelan Forest, an apiary on the Olympic, a IIbIi hatchery on the Colvlllo, an aer ial tram on tho Wenatchee For est. In Oregon the special uses are still dlfferont.-a slaughter houso on tho Cascade, sign boards on the Deschutes, a brickkiln on the Milium, smelter and stamp mill on the Siskiyou and a cyanide plant on the Um pqua. Of the number of penults issued In Washington and Ore gon for the year, 2(55 were free and 170 charge permits. To date, the Forest Service has Is sued in this District (Oregon. Washington and Alaska) 807 Hiuri'o nermlts and 10SS free permits, all for special uses, Ono of tho most recent uses of tho National Forests Is that under the Act of March l, llllfi, i which authorizes the nonrotary of Agriculture, upon such terms im ho muy deem proper, to al l'jw the occupancy of National , Forest lands for any period not .exceeding 30 yours where tho lands aro to be used for Hum mer homes, hotels, stores or other structures needed for rec reation or public convenience, i the area used not to exceed f acres. Prior to tho passago of this act, permits of this nature wore Issued but were revocable at tho discretion of the depart ment. Under tho now law, a long term permit or leaso more completely protects the Inter ests of tho permittee. An ox ample of this kind of special use , Is to be round In T ID 8, H 7 E, on tho Oregon National Forest, at tho Junction of Still Creek and Zigzag Rlvor, where thero Is quite a summer colony.
