Cecil, Portland, Oregon, says that a large number of cattle permittees who are using the National Forest ranges of Oregon, and Washington are now grazing on their ranches small bands of from 20 to 300 or 400 sheep, which are considered valuable for furnishing mutton, cleaning up weeds and adding to the Income of the ranch.. This Is quite a concession for the cattlemen to make, according to Mr. Cecil, but it is Interesting in that it indicates the coming of a more di versified system of management on the interior ranches, as well as being a factor in keeping np the supply al ready considerably decreased by the homesteading of much of the public range.

EAGLE GREEK CAMP agio Creek Camp Grounds Attract Visitors From Thirty States. The Eagle Creek Camp Grounds on the Oregon National Forest attract ed 15,000 visitors from thirty states and a dosen foreign countries during the outing season of 1916, according to T. II. Sherrard, Supervislor of the Oregon National Forest. This Is the first season these camp grounds have been easily accessible to the public. The grounds hare been developed under a carefully devised plan of the Forest Service to make them both at tractive and convenient to campers and visitors. Nearly one hundred campsites with safe fireplaces and jther conveniences have been pre pared. Excellent water has been pip ed to the grounds and a sewer system installed. A public comfort station is centrally located where it is ac cessible from all parts of the grounds. A short loop road from the Columbia Highway makes it possible for auto mobile parties to drive directly to a campsite, thus making the packing of equipment and supplies unnecessary. A Forest officer was stationed at the camp grounds during the season who assisted visitors in finding a sat isfactory campsite and parking place for their machine. He saw that a fire was kept burning in a large con crete stove for the convenience of transient parties in making coffee or cooking food without having to start a fire. A supply of fire wood was kept ready for visitors' use and gar bage cans were conveniently placed about the grounds. Among the fifteen thousand visi tors at these Camp Grounds were par ties from Alaska, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Hawaii, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, and Switzzerland, besides thirty of the States of the Union. In preparing for the winter, the pipe lines have been disconnected and the comfort station locked. The tent occupied by the ranger, as a temporary headquarters has been taken down. It is planned to build a permanent ranger station on the grounds the coming season. A topographic survey of the the grounds has just been made,' and a large number of new camp sites on the west side of Eagle Creek are planned. An automobile bridge a- cross the Creek Is part of the plan to make the new campsites more ac cessible. The trail up Eagle Creek has been completed for four miles and a half to a bridge site a mile and a half above the Punch BowL Here a bridge will be built 50 feet long and 125 above the Creek. It is expected to complete this trail to Wahtum Lake next season. The excellent cooperation of visi tors In keeping the camp grounds in a neat and attractive condition is ap preciated by the Forest officers who hare charge of the grounds. Because public camping grounds of this sort meet a real need, says Mr. Sherrard, the Forest Service is plan ning to develop several suitable sites on the National Forests of Oregon and Washington in 1917. Accord ing to present plans, a camp ground near Rockdale on the Snoqualmie Forest will undergo the most exten sive development next year. Two Women Seek Places on City Council of Echo.
