WORK ON NATIONAL FOREST MANY PERMÅNENT IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE Large Sum Appropriated by Congress Being Used in Construction of Roads, Trails and Telephone Lines —Fighting Forest Fires Effectively [Correspondence of The Gazette.] Six hundred thousand dollars will be spent during the fiscal year 1908-1909 for the construction of roads, trails, telephone lines and other permanent improvements on the national forests. Congress has appropriated the same amount for this purpose during the fiscal year of 1909-1910. In order that the forest rangers may cover the large area contained in the district, it is necessary that a system of trails be constructed along routes which give the best control of the areas to be patrolled. In many districts telephone lines have been built between the supervisor's office and ranger headquarters, and to prominent peaks which are used for lookout stations to observe fires. To fight forest fires effectively it is of the utmost importance that a force of men be rushed to the fire as soon as possible, as these fires can be controlled and put out if taken when they are small, where it would be almost impossible to check them after they had spread over a large area. For this reason the telephone lines and trail systems are of vital importance and have played no small part in the patrol system which six or seven months of the year be snowed in for only two months of the year. The new old project, about 40 miles long, built out from Boise six years ago. This work was a fund raised from subscription in Boise and Atlanta. The road was extended 28 miles, funds appropriated by the Idaho. This work brought to the boundary of the Saw national forest, now the Boise forest. RURAL MAIL DELIVERY Instructions Issued for Expense Service To improve the rural mail and to effect such economic permit of extensions, the postoffice department has the following notice to all of interest: "In order to expedite their collection and dispatch mail, enable rural carriers their routes with celerity, and the earliest possible service trons residing on far ends of the department will insist on rural mail boxes be so located be served with the greatest utilization. "You are, therefore, directed toquire each rural carrier at your office to submit to you without for transmission to the depot the names of all patrons who es can not be served without the road, dismounting driving ditches or on steep inclines or across railroad tracks." is of the utmost importance that a force of men be rushed to the fire as soon as possible, as these fires can be controlled and put out if taken when they are small, where it would be almost impossible to check them after they had spread over a large area. For this reason the telephone lines and trail systems are of vital importance and have played no small part in the patrol system which has resulted in the remarkably small area burned over since the forests have been under government supervision. Among other necessary improvements provided for, the service takes up the matter of the betterment of range conditions. First, by the construction of drift fences, which are for the purpose of keeping stock within the area allotted to them and to save the time of herders. Second, by the improving of springs and watering places. In many sections of the west large areas have been of no value on account of the lack of water during a large portion of the year. By the fencing and piping of the springs and providing adequate storage, the service has been able to conserve a supply of water which enables these ranges to be used all through the season. Third, by the fencing of bog or mire holes. As fast as possible, places where the loss of stock from miring in bog holes has been heavy are being fenced so that the cattle can not get into them. Fourth, by the fencing of poisonous areas. In certain sections of Colorado there is a poison larkspur which, during the spring season, will poison stock that graze on it. These places are being fenced and the stock kept away from the areas until the poisonous season is over, when they are opened for grazing. All of the national forests are divided into districts which are under the direct supervision of a forest ranger who looks after the timber cutting and grazing matters, and patrols his district to detect and prevent forest fires. As the national forests are located in mountainous and timbered country and have but few settlements within their boundaries it be served with the greatest attention. "You are, therefore, directed toquire each rural carrier at office to submit to you without for transmission to the department the names of all patrons whose can not be served without the road, dismounting driving ditches or on steep inclines or across railroad tracks in danger, or the approaches to boxes are obstructed. It is quired that boxes shall be beside the wheel tracks, nor particular corner of cross roads they must be erected within fines of the road and access any corner. "It is not desirable that be attached to telegraph, telephonic light poles, or to feildings, but boxes should curely fastened to heat and posts, firmly set at the side roads, at a sufficient height served by the carriers without from their seats or reaching wheel spokes. "After boxes have been provided, and it is practicable tail carriers' schedules, post will advise this office, so that ges in schedules may be conducted." "When roads are in bad condition masters are directed to report thereof to the department to the local road officials, and create with them and patrons fullest extent, consistent with ion and duty, to secure the im-ment of the roads. The ma-tion of interest and properly ed efforts by postmasters in the roads question will in many instances be productive of excellent resu-spectfully, P. V. DeGRAN-Fourth Assistant Postmaster All of the national forests are divided into districts which are under the direct supervision of forest ranger who looks after the timber cutting and grazing matters, and patrols his district to detect and prevent forest fires. As the national forests are located in mountainous and timbered country and have but few settlements within their boundaries, it is necessary to provide these rangers with quarters convenient to the districts over which they have charge. These quarters consist of a small house, a stable for his saddle horses, a fence enclosing a pasture for stock, and occasionally, the fencing of a garden patch and a small piece of land to provide fodder for the stock during winter. The forest service also co-operates with the states, counties and communities, in the construction of wagon roads, trails and bridges, which will make accessible bodies of mature timber, and otherwise assist in the control and use of the forests. An example of this co-operation is the Boise-Atlanta wagon road. This road connects the city of Boise, Idaho, with the mining town of Atlanta, a place of about 300 inhabitants. The road follows up the Boise river for the entire distance with the exception of about 7 miles, beginning at a point 5 miles out from Boise. The entire length of the road is about 96 miles. Atlanta is situated in the Sawtooth mountains and is 90 miles from a railroad. The former outlet was by wagon road to the town of Mountain Home. This road follows over high mountains, and is snowed in during PRICES OF FRESH MEAT DECLINE Predictions of a decline in fresh meats within the next days are being made by Los Angeles packers and butchers. While nothing in the present situation warrants an immediate reduction claimed by dealers that the price will be inevitable when range sales started marketward. From the nature of information received here it is evident that movement of range stock will be early in May, and it is believed shipments will be large enough middle of the month to cause a drop in prices. It is not believed that reduction will be large at first, but opinion prevails among dealers prices will be gradually lowered quotations are restored to normal. Present quotations for fresh meat are the highest recorded in the five years. The wholesale price steers is 84 cents a pound, and he are quoted at 84 cents. These prices are for the best quality of grass beeves, and dealers say the meat is being offered now is the best season. The bulk of the shipment cattle to the Los Angeles market from the ranches in the central part of the state. No good phonograph is ashamed of its record.

And if you do say Arkansaw, which those who know will tell you is correct, haven't you asked time and again why it should be Arkansaw when Kansas is given the "s" sound that it spells? There is no state in the Union whose name is so often mispronounced as this, and now that one of the newest battleships is to bear the name of the state, everybody concerned is most anxious that the world at large should understand that although Arkansas looks like Kansas with two letters prefixed, nevertheless the two names are not derived at all from the same source and as all historians know and have said should not be pronounced alike. When Father Marquette went down the Mississippi, he found in the region of which the state of Arkansas is a part a magnificent race of Indians who bore the tribal of Arkansas. The great stretch of territory over which they ranged, and which was admitted by other tribes to belong to them, bore the name of Arkansa—the country of the Arkansas. This makes it extremely simple, you see. On the other hand Kansas is derived from the Indian word "Kanza." As this was used to express both the word "wind" and the word "swift," it not only shows the total difference of derivation from that of Arkansas, but practically proves that even in the days of the aborigines, the country knew a thing or two about cyclones, even if they never had heard of the "Wizard of Oz," or read the worked over stock of Kansas cyclone jokes by the wouldbe funny men.

The United States Geological Survey has just opened at Denver a permanent branch office to facilitate the transaction of its western work, thus providing a base of supplies for the large corps of engineers who are kept in the field many months each year, making geologic atlas of the United States, mapping the great national forests, investigating surface and underground waters, and collecting statistics of mineral production. The establishment of such a branch office, however, would have little outside interest if its only purpose was to serve the conveniene of the Survey corps, but it is designed also to meet the great need of the western public for a source of information less remote than Washington. A supply of copies of the publications available for free distribution will be kept on hand, as well as a complete file of the topographic maps, geologic folios, and other publications of the Survey subject to sale. All of these publications will be open to inspection by persons desiring information concerning the subjects treated. Prospective purchasers of maps and folios will be referred to the nearest sales agent, and the free publications will be distributed in Denver to those making application.
