Cattlemen Raising Sheep.
District Forester, George H. 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
