Forest Notes From
the Gurdane District
By S. R. WOODS. Forest Ranger.
Construction work on the Ukiah-
Albee section of the Pilot Rock-John
Day highway has progressed quite
satisfactorily. The grading is now
completed, except for a amall amount
of rock work. The timber for the
bridges has been gotten out by a local
sawmill. The contractor is remaining
on the job with a small crew through
the winter and expects to complete
the rock work and put in the bridges.
The rock crusher will be brought in
ni the spring as soon as weather con
ditions and the roada permit. The
seven miles in this section will prob
ably be completed by August. This
will leave a gap of twelve miles which,
when closed, will complete the high
way from Pilot Rock to Ukiah.
So far, the snow fall over the south
half of the Umatilla national forest
has been much below average. Near
ly all of the-main roads are still be
ing traveled by cars.
Cattlemen using the forest ranges
have been having unusual difficulty in
rounding up all their cattle. They
still report being out quite a number.
It seems that there has not been
enough cold, stormy weather to drive
the cattle from the mountains.
On the Five Mile cattle and horse
range, the old set of salt troughs,
twenty-two in number, and located
near water, were condemned last
spring. Twenty-eight new -troughs
were constructed, which with the four
new troughs constructed last fall,
make a complete set of thirty-two
troughs, all in approved locations
away from water. The new troughs
are 6 feet by 8 inches by 8 inches,
hewed from logs about eighteen inches
in diameter, bark peeled off, the rim

of the trough being protected by
strands of smooth fence wire, and the
cavity drained by an auger hole. The
entire tree was trimmed and the
brush compactly piled in a workmaa
like manner. The work was done by
the Five Mile cattle and horse grow
ers association under the direction of
the ranger. The direct cost to the
association was $3.32 per trough with
a small additional cost of time con
tributed by the Salter. All troughs
were ready for use by June IS.
Compilation of data from the Bait
ing records of the Five Mile cattle
and horse range, show that during
the season June 1 to October SI, 1925,
the cattle consumed 6.83 pounds of
salt per head. Recorda for the pre
ceding three years show an average
consumption of 6.92 pounds per head.
The consumption in June this aeason
waa 2.35 pounds per head against 2.62
pounds average for June of preceding
three years. July this season con
sumption waa 1.74 pounds against 1.90
pounds July average of preceding
years. Tbe figures for the months of
August and September and October
show a alight Increase over the fig
ures for the three-year average. The
reduced consumption of salt per head
this aeason is believed to be due to
the fact that the cattle did not read
ily go to tha new locations, but hung
around tha old salt logs. Tho aalter
devoted much time to drifting tho cat
tle to the new troughs and there were
fifty per cent more troughs in the
new set than there were in the old
set, and on the same area.
Range improvements on the Gur
dane district, consisting of construc
tion and maintenance of salt troughs,
traila, water developments, drift
fences, stock corrals, headquarters
cabins, etc., amounted to a total cost
of 1883.00 with no cost to tho Gov--ernment,
except time contributed in
supervision by Ranger Woods.

Two Men and their
Credit
TWO men walked into this bank the other day both
asking for a substantial loan. One of them secured
all that he required. To the other we could not and did
not extend credit.
The reason is this: The man who secured all that he
requested had maintained a substantial balanca in his
checking account. We know his ability and his financial
stability. We know our money with him will be safe.
The other man tq whom we dared not extend credit
has an account, it's true, but the balance in his account
was always low and occasionally overdrawn a poor
credit risk. This is only one reason why it is valuable to
maintain a substantial balance in your checking account.
