SERVICE NOTES FOR NOVEMBER, 1906.

The Forester returned on October 11 from a trip of inspection thru Idaho, Mon-
tana, and Wyoming.

Capt. James B. Adams returned on October 22 from the West, where he presided
at the supervisors' meetings at Glenwood Springs, Colo.; Provo, Utah; Flagstaff,
Ariz. ; Portland, Oreg., and Northfork, Cal. The Forester presided at the meeting at
Boise, Idaho. In addition to the supervisors and rangers in charge, who represented
practically all the reserves, technical men attended these meetings. At Provo were
Inspectors Clark, Redington, and Benedict and Mr. Potter, Chief of the Office of
Grazing; at Portland, Mr. Price, Associate Forester, Assistant Forester Olmsted,
Inspectors Allen and Du Bois, and Mr. Sterling, Chief of the Office of Forest Exten-
sion; at Northfork, Inspectors Du Bois and Greeley; at Flagstaff, Inspectors L. C.
Miller and J. S. Holmes; and at Glenwood Springs, Inspectors S. N. Spring and W. T.
Cox.

GENERAL INSPECTION.

Assistant Forester Olmsted returned on September 20 from a trip thru the Alaska
reserves, the particular purpose of his visit being the investigation of the complaints
against the forest reserves. He found that most of the complaints were based on
misunderstanding of the objects of the reserves, but, since conditions in Alaska differ
from those in the Western States, special regulations are apparently necessary.

Mr. Olmsted reports that the difficulties of administration in Alaska are great, since
there are no roads, bu*t few trails, and a very sparse population. All travel is by
boat.

LAW.

The investigation of alleged mining claims in the Plumas Forest Reserve, Cal.,
which was begun in the month of August under the joint control of the Departments
of the Interior and of Agriculture, will be discontinued until snow disappears in
the spring. Geologists L. G. Gillett, W. L. Walker, and J. A. Dorsey will make
similar investigations during November in the Prescott Forest Reserve, Ariz.

The following right-of-way cases from the Department of the Interior
returned to that Department between October 1 and 15, with the statement that
the Forest Service has no objection to the granting of the easement for which appli-
cation was made:

Rocky Mountain Railway Company, railroad, Medicine Bow Forest Reserve.

FOKEST MANAGEMENT.

Forest Supervisor Bartrum has secured the clearing of a portion of a fire break
around the Ashland Forest Reserve in the vicinity of the city of Ashland by confin-
ing free use to this strip. The forest along the reserve boundary is an inferior stand
of yellow pine and red fir. The ground is nearly everywhere covered with a dense
growth of chaparral, making fires especially hard to fight. In sales and free-use
cases the cutting and piling of the underbrush has been required, as well as the
piling of the brush from all trees cut. The ground so cleared has then been burned
over at safe seasons. The result is a clear strip of ground, across which no fire can
run, and from which back fires may be started with perfect safety. The break has
already proved itself useful by stopping two fires, supposed to have been set by
lightning, which would otherwise have been almost impossible to control before they
burned thru a considerable stretch of timber to a ridge top.

Certain portions along the fire line however, belong to the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company, and the company has given permission to the Forest Service to clear
a line on its lands, since this will protect these lands as well as the reserve, and will
be a great benefit to the city of Ashland and the country tributary to the lands of
the railroad.

Supervisors have been instructed that where there is an overcut in a Class B tim-
ber sale, this should be reported as an excess cutting and charged to the original
sale. The duplicate letter of transmittal for the excess should therefore bear the
same designation as the original sale. Care should be taken in making Class B sales,
however, that the value of the timber cut does not exceed $100.

DENDROLOGY.

Extension of the Turpentine Industry to Western States.

In connection with exhaustive investigations to determine the most conservative
method of chipping pine trees for turpentine, a thoro study was begun of the dis-
tinguishing characteristics of resins and turpentines derived from each species.
This study has been directed mainly to southeastern pines, but it included analysis
of the crude resin of the western yellow pine. The special object of investigating the
western yellow pine was to ascertain whether or not it would yield commercial tur-
pentine. Analyses of crude resin collected from California give from 20 to 22 per
cent of turpentine, which is 1 or 2 per cent above the average yield from the stand-
ard turpentine pines of the South. Studies of this resin from trees in other parts of
its range are being prosecuted in order to establish the general productiveness of

18

the species. It may be said now, however, that an extension of the turpentine
industry to the western yellow-pine belt is an assured possibility. The western tree
yields resin as copiously as do the long-used southern pines.

Following further yield determinations of the turpentine and of its characteristics,
there remains only to be devised a practical method of "chipping" or tapping this
pine. The bark of the western tree is so thick that it can not be chipped with
the same tool ("hack") as is used on the thin-barked southern pines. There
appears, however, to be no insurmountable difficulty in devising a practicable method
of chipping the western trees.

It is too soon to decide the probable commercial value of extending this industry
to western pine forests. The industry is sure, however, to add enormously to the
total profit of a pine forest, which can, as is now done in the South, be turpentined
for a term of years previous to lumbering. If turpentining is properly conducted
no appreciable damage results to the lumber subsequently cut from the trees.

FOREST EXTENSION.

Mr. R. C. Bryant, whose resignation from the Service is noted elsewhere, has been
called to the Yale Forest School to assist in organizing the work which is to be car-
ried on in connection with the Chair of Applied Forestry and Practical Lumbering
established by subscriptions of lumbermen thruout the country.

Watershed Studies.

Forest Reserve officers, in response to Reserve Order No. 17, recommended
examinations of city watersheds in the Mount Graham, Final Mountains, Chiri-
cahua, Santa Rita, Santa Catalina, and Tonto forest reserves in Arizona. During the
summer Mr. L. C. Miller examined the first three of these reserves and also part of
the San Francisco Mountains Reserve. He found no important city watersheds in
need of planting, but advised certain utilization planting, and established two small
nurseries. The city watershed work on the other Arizona reserves will be continued
this fall.

It is found that the Pocatello Forest Reserve offers a watershed project much
needed for the city of Pocatello. A nursery, 48 by 72 feet in size, will be started this
fall under the direction of Mr. A. E. Oman.

Mr. J. M. Fetherolf, who has been conducting field work in the Uinta Forest
Reserve, finds that the drainage basins upon which Ogden, Provo, Logan, and sev-
eral smaller towns depend for their water supply, can be greatly improved by forest
planting. -A good nursery site is available near Kamas.

A city watershed project in the Pecos River .Reserve has been reported on favora-
bly in a preliminary report by Mr. H. P. Baker and Mr. F. J. Philips. The Gallinas
River and Santa Fe Creek drainage basins contain several good planting sites. Plant-
ing will benefit the water supply of Las Vegas and Santa Fe.

Mr. John D. Guthrie, who has been conducting watershed studies and establishing
rangers' nurseries in Idaho, has been transferred to the San Francisco Mountains
Forest Reserve to take up rangers' nursery work. After he has covered this reserve
he will go to the Tonto Forest Reserve for similar duty, and in addition make a
special study of the conditions in the vicinity of the Roosevelt dam of the Salt River
irrigation project.

Bangers' Nurseries.

Plans for rangers' nurseries are beginning to come in from the technical men who
have been assisting in starting these nurseries during the summer. Wherever possi-
ble, shade frames have been constructed and the ground prepared for seed sowing
next spring. The plans submitted will be edited and copies sent to the rangers con-
cerned. Actual work is being undertaken this fall only where permanent head-
quarters have been established. The nurseries thus started under technical super-
vision will serve as models for the rangers in undertaking similar work in the future.

20

Planting Stations.

As the result of a recent inspection of the planting operations in the Pikes Peak
Forest Reserve by Mr. E. A. Sterling and Mr. G. W. Peavy, the Clyde nursery has been
abandoned and the work concentrated at the Bear Creek nursery. Successful seed-
ing production is impossible at Clyde because of the high elevation and short grow-
ing season. The work at Bear Creek will be put entirely on an experimental basis
for the present.

Recent counts show that between 50 and 60 per cent of the 319,000 seedlings
planted in the Dismal River Forest Reserve last spring are alive. The loss was
chiefly caused by a period of dry, windy weather immediately following planting.
Most of the trees planted were 2 years old. Jt is expected to greatly reduce the loss
in the future by using older seedlings and by planting with the mattock instead of
with the spade. 'An experimental plantation was made in October to determine
the feasibility of fall planting.

Cooperative Planting".

A planting plan has been prepared by Mr. Flintham for the Bixby Ranch in the
San Diego Hills, Orange County, Cal. This covers an area of 7,000 acres, most of
which is the typical chaparral land of southern California. It is recommended that
3,000 acres be planted. The sugar gum is selected for the most extensive planting,
since it is expected that this species will endure the conditions upon the more ele-
vated and unfavorable portion of the tract. The gray and the lemon gums, as well
as two varieties of iron bark, are also recommended for timber. Black locust,
which, tho not indigenous to the western United States, is found to grow extremely
well in this part of California, is recommended for post production. It is estimated
that it will require 2,837,500 seedlings of all species to plant the area designated as
desirable planting sites. Close spacing is advised in order to reduce the amount of
cultivation. Thinning is advised after the fifth year and every second year there-
after until the stand reaches the age of 12 years. The trees are then to remain to*
develop to timber dimensions. It is estimated that the locust will become mer-
chantable in from ten to fifteen years.

A nursery should be established for growing seedlings, and full instruction for
nursery operations is included in the plan.

Recommendations for protection against fire provide for:

Posting cloth fire- warning notices, printed in both Spanish and English.

Establishment of patrol, a system including a telephone station.

Fencing the greater portion of the tract to exclude live stock.

The cost of planting is estimated at from $15 to $20 per acre.

A planting plan prepared by Mr. Allen S. Peck for the lands of the Great Bear
Spring Company, of Oswego County, N. Y., has just been transmitted to the company.

The plan considers both use and appearance. The soil is almost pure sand under-
laid with gravel, and for this reason the number of species that can be planted is
limited. Chestnut is the only hardwood recommended. The other trees, which
are conifers, are red pine, Scotch pine, white pine, Norway spruce, European larch,
tamarack, and arborvitse. The plan covers about 96 acres, and the area is divided
into five distinct planting sites. It is estimated that the total number of trees
required for planting will be 124,122. The plan includes detailed directions for
planting, and estimates the number of seedlings which can be planted per day. It
is expected that the plantation will reach merchantable size in from forty to sixty
years, with the exception of the chestnut and larch, which may be cut when about
20 years old.

21

Special Studies.

Mr. E. O. Sieckehas completed his field work in the Truckee-Carson irrigation proj-
ect, and has since been engaged in seed collecting and rangers' nursery work in Cali-
fornia. His work in the irrigation project covered the question of forest planting by
settlers, as well as Government planting on waste lands, along canals and on an
experimental area. Prof. F. G. Miller has completed a similar study in the North
Platte project and on irrigated land mainly under private ditch in the South Platte
country.

FOREST PRODUCTS.

Fence Post Treatments.

The Forest Service will experiment in November to determine the best method of
treating fence posts cut from dead lodgepole pine on the Henrys Lake Forest Reserve.

Large bodies of burned lodgepole pine exist on many reserves. Should these tests
prove successful, similar work will probably be carried on in other places.

Telephone Pole Treatments.

The preservative treatment of western yellow pine telephone poles with creosote
oil has begun at Los Angeles. Several different methods of application are being
tried, and excellent results have already been obtained, both with a special butt
apparatus and in open tanks.

Protection and Treatment of Ties.

Two experimental pieces of track are now being laid in Washington and Montana
on the lines of the Northern Pacific Railway. These are laid for the purpose of test-
ing the effect on ties of metal and wooden tie plates, and the durability of red fir and
tamarack ties treated with zinc chlorid and creosote as compared to seasoned and
green untreated ties of the same species.

Dead and Down Timber on Reserves.

A study of dead and down timber on the forest reserves has resulted in the loca-
tion of many merchantable stands of dead timber. Among the most important are
the fire-killed tracts in the Holy Cross Reserve in Colorado. An estimate places the
total of all species of fire-killed timber on this reserve at 150,000,000 board feet.
Most of it is in good condition, and prospects for marketing it are good.

A study similar in character to the one made on the Holy Cross Reserve has also
been completed for the Gunnison Reserve. The estimated merchantable dead tim-
ber on this reserve is 88,000,000 board feet.

Statistics of Forest Products.

As the result of an agreement between the Forest Service and the Bureau of the
Census the annual statistics dealing with the production of forest products hereafter
will be collected and compiled by the two bureaus in cooperation. The resultant
publications will be issued jointly.

The Forest Service will maintain an active cooperation in the work.

22

Maps of Forest Reserves.

The enlarging of the topographic sheets covering forest reserves is progressing as
fast as the United States Geological Survey can do the work. The enlarged maps
are on the scale of 2 inches to the mile and cover one township each. The reserves
already finished are the Black Hills, Jemez, San Francisco Mountains, and Santa
Catalina.

Investigations .

Mr. C. G. Crawford, in charge of the section of wood preservation, has been on a
three-months' tour thru the Gulf States and the Pacific coast States, investigating
the construction of timber-treating plants and the different methods employed in
treating timbers. He has also been inspecting experiments carried on by the Forest
Service in wood preservation in California, Washington, Idaho, and Montana.

PUBLICATION AND EDUCATION.

Mr. Alfred Gaskill has completed his summer's work in the location of permanent
sample plots on reserves and has submitted a report to the Forester.

Mr. Raphael Zon has returned from his studies of silvicultural conditions on
reserves, and will prepare a report for the Forester.

The following addresses on forest subjects were delivered in October:

National Association of Vehicle and Implement Manufacturers, Chicago, 111.,
October 10; Mr. H. B. Holroyd.

Kentucky State Development Convention, Winchester, Ky., October 12; Mr. H. A.
Smith.

Institute held by Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Labor, and Statistics,
Lexington, Ky., October 23; Mr. S. J. Record.

American Civic Association, Milwaukee, Wis., October 26; Mr. Ernest A. Sterling.

Johnson County Farmers' Institute, Vienna, 111., October 27; Mr. SamuelJ. Record.

Since but 1,000 copies can be printed of a publication of more than 100 pages, the
present supply of Bulletin 70, "Effect of Moisture on the Strength and Stiffness of
Wood," suffices only for timber-testing laboratories and the libraries of technical
schools. The substance of the results will later be given general distribution in cir-
cular form. Those who wish to study the subject more in detail can obtain a copy
of the bulletin at a cost of 15 cents of the Superintendent of Documents, Government
Printing Office, Washington, D. C.

23

RECORD.

Accounts.

Careful adherence on the part of members of the Service to the instructions printed
under the heading " Supervisors' accounts," The Use Book, page 120, will be a great
help in getting accounts settled promptly. The direction that accounts on Form 3,
Form 4, or Form A be not submitted in duplicate is disregarded by some members;
the result is inconvenience and loss of time in the Section of Accounts. The failure
of a number of members to send in with their accounts Form 99 or Form 98, as the
case may require, makes it necessary to delay the settlement of their accounts until
the form is received.

Accounts for unusually heavy expenses for services or supplies in righting fires
need not be held until the end of the month to be rendered with monthly reimburse-
ment accounts, but may be submitted immediately after the expenses have been in-
curred and paid. Great care should be taken, however, in these emergency accounts
to have only expenses of lire fighting included.

The object of this is to enable officers of the reserves to be reimbursed promptly
for advances made by them for fire fighting expenses from their own personal funds.

If for any reason receipts or other evidence required to support charges in any
monthly account can not be secured in time, these charges should be omitted from
the account for that month. The remaining portion of such an account can thus be
rendered in the usual manner. Items of expense omitted in this way from any
monthly account may be submitted in any subsequent account, after the required
receipts or evidence are secured.

Supplies.

The Instrument Committee is responsible for maintaining the standard not only of
instruments but of all equipment and supplies intended for use in the field. Sugges-
tions for. new equipment or for changes in existing types for consideration by this
committee should be sent to the Forester.

A change has been made in the pattern of the Century camera hitherto in use by
the Service. The film-pack adapter was found to give results uniformly out of focus,
and the film-roll holder was substituted for it. The cameras of the Service are being
remodeled as rapidly as possible, and only those of the new type will be issued.

The existing pattern of marking ax has been found unsatisfactory, and the Service
has called for bids on a new model with a longer but narrower marking head, of
thicker and more beveled blade, and of a better grade of steel. In the meantime
a supply of suitable axes for immediate needs has been procured in order to avoid
delay in carrying on necessary work on the reserves.

Tables will be furnished for office use both in Washington and in the field, instead
of the ordinary office desk. This change will make effective the instructions in
Service Order No. 106 against putting unanswered letters or any other papers deal-
ing with unfinished current business in drawers or pigeonholes. The table adopted

24

as standard is of quartered oak, with dull finish, and is strongly built. It has the
advantage of being much less expensive and serves every useful purpose of the
ordinary desk.

The flat desk pad, 19 by 24 inches (item 12, List I, page 112 of The Use Book),
should not be included hereafter in requisitions made by members stationed away
from Washington. The pad is unmailable on account of its size, and the cost of
transportation by express makes its use in the field impracticable. Desk blotters of
the same size can be mailed in rolls, and will be supplied in filling requisitions for
the pads. •/

New Forms.

The new Forest Banger's Notebook (Form 874) assembles in a loose-leaf binder
several of the forms most frequently used by forest officers, together with blank sheets
for field notes and mapping. These forms are necessarily much reduced in size, but it
is expected that the greater ease writh which they can be kept in order and carried
in the pocket will much more than offset the increased care required to fill out the
small forms legibly. Following are the consecutive order and numbers of forms
which comprize the new book:

Form 874. — Instructions.

Form 874-2. — Diary (superseding Form 847).

Form 874-3. — Certificate of Service (superseding Form 647).

Form 874-4. — Information Needed for Special Privilege Report.

Form 874-5. — Instructions to Sealers (superseding Forms 942 and 949).

Form 874-6.— Scale Record.

Form 874-7.— Notes on Sale.

Form 874-8,-Original Free Use Permit, f Fo1™ 831 is ^Pf^ded by these

Form 874-9.-Duplicate Free Use Permit. *orms> bf a ^^ of the old form wl11

Form 874-10. — Record of Claims and Privileges — Township plat (east half).

Form 874-11. — Record of Claims and Privileges — Township plat (west half).

Form 874-12.— Grazing Record.

Form 874-13. — Blank sheets for field notes and mapping.

The following forms have also been adopted since The Use Book was printed:

110 — Report on Agricultural Homestead Applications (sheet).

Ill — Ranger Stations (file card).

138 — Forest Fire Penalty Notice (card, 8 by 10$, for displaying in post offices and

other places where there will be no exposure to the weather).
B — Authority to Publish Advertisement, and Voucher for Advertising.

962— Wood Pulp Investigations.

978— Card Record of Timber Tests.

980 — Card for Mailing List Addresses.

981 — Calendar of Reserve Reports.

995— Office Stationery Cards.

119 — Section plats, with memorandum blank bound, 80 in a book, with flexible
cover, especially for use of geologists in examining mining claims.

Members of the Service should correct in their copies of The Use Book the list of
forms printed on pages 116 to 118. New forms should be added and superseded
forms stricken out.

Mr. A. F. Potter, Inspector of Grazing, has attended stockmen's meetings at Butte
and Helena, Mont., and Albuquerque, N. Mex., in the effort to make clear the policy
of the Forest Service relative to grazing in the reserves and to correct misunderstand-
ing regarding it, A resolution was adopted at Butte, Mont., in which the stockmen
expressed satisfaction with the information given.

For the season of 1906 there were 14,093 cattle and horse grazing permits issued,
covering 1,015,148 head, of which 849,703 head were for the summer season and
165,445 for the year-long season. There were also issued 2,500 sheep-grazing per-
mits, covering 5,763,100 head of sheep, two lambs counting as one grown sheep.

A more strict compliance with the salting regulation will be insisted upon in 19.07.

The grazing application, Form 657, has been changed with important additions,
and renumbered No. 879.

Winter grazing will be allowed when not detrimental to any interest.

f n 1907 only the sheep six months old and over at the time 01 entering a reserve
will be counted and paid for, but the fees will be increased sufficiently to compen-
sate for the young stock.

RESERVE ORGANIZATION.

Meetings of the supervisors and various Chiefs of Office have recently been held
in Glenwood Springs, Colo., Provo, Utah, Flagstaff, Ariz., Portland, Oreg., Northfork,
Cal., and Boise, Idaho. Every detail of field and office work was touched on, and
the regulations and instructions of The Use Book were thoroly discust. Many
valuable suggestions for changes and additions were made and submitted to the
Forester. Among the important results of these meetings is the opportunity they
< give the field men and the members of the general force to become acquainted.

Reserve Boundaries.

A great many more applications for agricultural land under the act of June 11,
1906, are being received than were expected; and Mr. Kent, who is in charge of the
field examination of the lands applied for, has asked for four more men to assist him
in the work. Already two reserves — the Priest River in Idaho and the Bitterroot in
Montana — have been covered. In the former reserve all but a very few claims were
approved and recommended for listing, but in the latter the applications were found
to cover heavy timberland and were purely of a speculative character. If cleared,
they would, with irrigation, produce good crops, but no water for irrigation was
available, as evidenced by the thousands of acres of cut-over lands outside the reserve,
which are not and can not be placed under cultivation.

Forest officers in cnarge seem to be in doubt regarding items which should be
included under Form 99, especially in regard to communication, shelter, and
equipment. Nails and fence staples should be charged to shelter and not to equip-
ment. Paint used in painting signboards should be charged to communication and
not to shelter. Stoves and stovepipes are shelter items and not equipment.

26

Advertisements of proposals for bids for the construction of a fence for a buffalo
pasture and necessary buildings on the Wichita Forest Reserve, Oklahoma, appeared
in the St. Louis Republic, the New York Sun, and the Washington Post on October
17, the bids to be opened on November 15. This fence will be built under a special
appropriation of Congress of $15,000. The buffalo are given by the New York
Zoological Garden, and all the arrangements for their care have been drawn up by
Mr. Wm. T. Hornaday, the naturalist.

The committee on uniforms appointed by the Forester reports that arrangements
for the delivery of the various parts of the uniform are completed, and a reserve
order will soon be issued describing the uniform and giving full instructions in
regard to the manner of obtaining it.

October 1 to 15 the following reserves were created:

Acres.

Santa Barbara (add. ), Cal 143, 777

Siskiyou, Oreg 716, 160 (approximate)

Mount Taylor, N. Mex 114, 000 (approximate)

Uinta (add. ), Utah and Wyo 38, 400 (approximate)

Diamond Mountain (add.) , Cal , . . . 15, 700 (approximate)

3, 989, 591
Area. of 112 reserves September 1 109, 097, 927

Approximate area of 116 reserves October 15 113, 087, 518

RESERVE DISTRICTS.

Northern.

During the summer the Forest Service 'constructed over 50 miles of telephone line
in the Bighorn Reserve. One 35-mile line connects the supervisor's headquarters at
Bighorn with two rangers' stations and the cutting operations of the McShane Lum-
ber Company. Another 18-mile line connects a ranger's station on Clear Creek with
the town of Buffalo.

The entire Bear River Forest Reserve in Idaho and Utah has been put under
administration, with Forest Supervisor J. F. Squires in charge. The boundary
between districts 1 and 2 has been changed so as to leave all of the Bear River
Reserve in the northern district.

The Long Pine Forest Reserve, Mont., was created by Presidential proclamation
September 24. This is a small reserve situated in the southeastern corner of the
State near the headwaters of the Little Missouri. Supervisor J. F. Smith, of the Black
Hills Reserve, has been put in charge, and a ranger is now looking after the needs of
the many ranchers who must obtain their winter's supply of wood from this reserve.

27

The Lolo Forest Reserve, Mont. , has been created and put under administration
with Supervisor E. A. Sherman in charge.

An investigation will be made to determine the extent of damage being done to
forest reserves by fumes from smelters in the copper region of Montana. Upon the
results of this investigation will depend the action to be taken in a number of
smelter cases thruout the West.

Western.

Forest Supervisor Coleman, of the Shasta Reserve, has been instructed to build a
telephone line on the western portion of his reserve. The proposed line will con-
nect five ranger stations with the office headquarters and will simplify the adminis-
tration and fire protection. A special feature of the line is a branch connecting with
a lookout point, where fires can be seen over a large portion of the reserve and
reported to headquarters.

The recent proclamation combining the Yuba Reserve with the Tahoe Reserve is
of particular interest. Similar action will be taken in the case of other reserves
where records can be simplified, correspondence lessened, and administration made
more efficient.

Forest Supervisor Charlton, of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino reserves, will
undertake this winter a large amount of fire-line work for the protection of the
country in the immediate vicinity of Riverside, and the local residents have sub-
scribed some $2,000 to aid in this work. The burning of a fire line on each side of
the Santa Fe line crossing the Cajon Pass and the burning of wide fire lines thru
dangerous grass country at the foot of the mountains outside the San Bernardino
Reserve probably accounts for the excellent protection accorded the reserves during
the past season. The rangers burned this fire line at night when the wind was blowing
away from the reserve line and four or five men sometimes burned 2 to 3 miles in one
night.

Southern.

Four miles of telephone line have been completed in the Salt Lake reserve, con-
necting the rangers' headquarters and the nursery with the supervisor's headquarters.
Eighteen-foot red fir poles, 7 inches at the top ends, were used and were set 4 feet
in the ground. »

SERVICE NOTES FOR DECEMBER, 1906.

LAW.

Claims-

The investigation of alleged illegal mining claims will be extended to the
Prescott Reserve, Arizona, during the month of December. The work will be
performed by Geologists L. G. Gillett, W. L. Walker, and S. H. Ball. They will
probably examine claims of like character in the Lincoln Reserve, New Mexico,
after concluding work in the Prescott.

Trespass.

The Forester has directed the supervisor of the Tahoe Forest Reserve, Cal.,
to seize any timber cut from the vacant odd sections of land returned as
mineral by the survey, within JLO miles of the line of the Central Pacific Rail-
road.

This timber was originally granted to the railroad company by the acts
of July 1, 1862, and July 2, 1864, and the Forester held, as a basis for his
directions to the supervisor, that the failure of the railroad company to remove
the timber within a reasonable time terminated its rights, since it could not
be presumed that Congress intended to grant to the railroad company a per-
petual easement in the land for the purpose of growing timber.

This decision will apply to timber on mineral odd sections within the 10-mile
limit of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads.

The Attorney-General has been requested to begin suits in the following cases :
Orenshaw, saloon, Alexander Archipelago Reserve; Thomas Shannon, contempt
proceedings to punish for violation of injunction, Little Belt Reserve; Merin
Marshall, fire, Weiser Reserve.

In the case of J. H. Schworer, privilege trespasser in the Bitter Root
Reserve, the Forester rejected the application of a defiant trespasser for the
classification, listing, and opening to homestead entry under the act of June 11,
1906, of land held by him in trespass.

Simon Romero was arrested on October 28 for grazing trespass on the Jemez
Reserve and held in default of bail in the sum of $250. On November 21
Romero's offer of $108.15, in settlement of the civil damages, was accepted.

In the following cases offers of settlement for the civil damages have been
accepted: M. H. Knapp, ejectment, Blue Mountains Reserve; Benton R.

(18)

Bailey, timber trespass, Klamath Reserve; Alta Russell and John Russell,
timber trespass, Mount Rainier Reserve ; Andrew Norrell, grazing trespass,
Park Range Reserve.

Privileges.

The following special privilege permits for power-developing projects were
issued by the Forester between October 15 and November 15 :

Stanislaus Electric Power Company : Dam, conduit, and power house on Dead-
man Creek ; dam, conduit, and power house on Upper Stanislaus River ; dam and
reservoir on Relief Creek ; dams and reservoir at Kennedy's Meadow, on the
Stanislaus River ; a wagon road and camp site to be used in the construction
work carried on by the company ; all in the Stanislaus Reserve, California.

Nevada Power Mining and Milling Company: Reservoir and pipe line in the
Northern Division of the Sierra Reserve, California.

Tuolumne Electric Company: Alpine, Tamarack, and Las Vegas reservoirs,
together with a camp site to be used in construction work in the Stanislaus
Reserve, California.

The following right-of-way cases, referred from the Department of the In-
terior to the Forester for report, as to whether the projects would interfere
with forest-reserve interests, were returned to that Department between Octo-
ber 15 and November 15 with favorable reports by the Forester :

Harry Hale and G. A. Pulver, reservoir, Battlement Mesa Reserve, Colorado ;
Mesa Creek Reservoir and Canal Company, reservoir, Battlement Mesa Re-
serve, Colorado ; Washington Irrigation Company, reservoir, Uinta Forest
Reserve, Utah; Colorado and Grand River Railroad Company, railroad, Medi-
cine Bow Reserve, Colorado.

FOREST MANAGEMENT.

The following rules are being carried out in marking timber on the Allen
Gold Mining Company sale of 50,000,000 feet in the Hell Gate Forest Reserve :

(1) Cut in alternate strips of 150 and 75 feet in width, respectively, varying
the location of these strips to conform to the nature of the stand, the strips
to run with the slope.

(2) Cut everything merchantable from the 150-foot strips.

(3) In the 75-foot strips leave groups of seed trees covering at least one-
half the area of the strip and separated by openings running across the slope.

(4) Leave for seed, trees from 7 to 11 inches in diameter, inclusive, consider-
ing the ideal seed tree as a 10-inch tree. Trees of 12 inches and over are to
be left for seed only when smaller tree.s are lacking.

(5) Leave for seed sound trees so far as possible, but remember that injured
lodgepole decays slowly, and that it is far more important that the groups
should be full than that they should consist of perfect trees.

(6) To state Rule 5 differently, cut from the groups everything that will
make lagging, converter poles, or 10-inch stulls, except when the scarcity of
other material makes the leaving of some stull trees necessary.

(7) All trees to be thrown and brush to be piled outside the groups. In no
case need refuse larger than 6 inches in diameter be piled for burning.

Wherever possible, spruce should be favored in the .reproduction as against
lodgepole pine.

20

The forest is mainly a pure stand of lodgepole pine substantially even-aged
but of various diameters. These rules do not apply to those portions of the
stand where old trees are standing in the midst of even-aged younger growth,
or where the condition of the forest makes scattered seed trees necessary.

DENDROLOGY.

Turpentining Before Lumbering.

A number of lumber companies which have suffered heavy losses by windfall
of boxed trees and by reduction of grade thru deep chipping have abandoned
turpentining their pines before lumbering. The Kaul Lumber Company, of
Birmingham, Ala., among others, is looking earnestly to the possible application
of the improved method of chipping with which the Service has been recently
experimenting in Florida, and has applied to the Service for information and
advice.

Forest Herbarium.

The Service herbarium now includes specimens of most of the tree species
indigenous to the United States. In order, however, to make it complete and of
fullest use it is necessary to obtain specimens of the species still unrepresented,
as well as duplicate specimens of the represented species from different parts of
their range, so that as far as possible variant as well as typical characters may
be illustrated.

The specimens on file have been gathered almost entirely by members of the
Service. A circular of instructions and requests to field members of the Service
is shortly to be issued as an aid to collecting specimens now lacking.

Dead Wood and Seasoned Live Wood.

A structural study of wood from " dead " trees has been undertaken for the
purpose of finding a practical means of distinguishing such wood from sea-
soned or partly dried wood from live trees. Consumers of pole and tie timber
are having difficulty in separating " dead " and " live " wood stock which is pur-
posely or otherwise made up of dead and live timber. Moreover, for many pur-
poses, the dead wood of some species is very inferior in durability and strength
to the wood of live trees.

Tree Seed Germination and Seed Coverings.

The special influence which the protective covering of tree fruits and seeds
have upon the germination of seeds is being carefully studied, microscopically
and otherwise, in order that better directions may be given in the storage and
planting of such seeds. Wide variation exists in the time and percentage of
germination of seeds of the same species, tho they have similar coverings. A
like variation exists between seeds of different species but with similar cover-
ings. Their behavior under the same storage conditions is also strikingly
variable, without apparent reason. It is expected that the investigation now
under way will throw light upon the many practical difficulties connected with
the handling and germination of tree seeds.

FOREST EXTENSION.

Watershed Studies.

Reports on watershed studies in the Elkhorn and Helena reserves have been
received from J. F. Bond. He finds that forest planting will not be advisable
to benefit city watersheds in either reserve, since they are fairly well forested,
and such small areas as occur are unimportant or are unfavorable for planting.
He recommends, however, that intensive fire protection be given, that grazing

23

be restricted, and that no timber cutting be alkfwed except for local use on the
watersheds of Basin Creek in the Helena Reserve and of McClellan and Beaver
creeks in the Elkhorn.

S. N. Spring, who has been conducting watershed studies on the Leadville
and Sevier reserves, finds that while the general water supply for towns de-
pending on reserve drainage basins is adequate, planting is much needed to im-
prove the stream flow for irrigation purposes.

Bangers' Nurseries.

Plans for nine rangers' nurseries in the Jemez Reserve have been submitted
by F. J. Phillips. Most of the sites are at elevations of from 7,000 to 9,000
feet. The recommendations cover the preparation of the ground, seed collect-
ing, and planting. Yellow pine, red and white fir, and Engelmann spruce are
to be used.

J. D. Guthrie has reported that there are few desirable sites for rangers'
nurseries in the San Francisco Mountains and Grand Canyon (South) reserves.
One site has been selected in the latter reserve and a small nursery established
and two sites have been selected in the former.

Planting Stations.

As noted in the November program, a promising watershed planting project
has been found in the Pecos Reserve. Headquarters for a nursery and station
will probably be established on Santa Fe Creek, about 6 miles from Santa Fe,
on the Amanda Boardman ranch, which the president of the Santa Fe Water
and Light Company has offered to purchase and place at the disposal of the
Government for nursery purposes.

About 50,000 seedlings from the Henninger's Flat nursery will be planted by
rangers in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino reserves as soon as the rainy
season begins. Rangers will receive about 1,500 trees each, with instructions
for planting them in favorable situations in their districts. In this way the
seedling output will be increased at slight expense and a large number of ex-
perimental plantations will be started thruout the reserves.

Work on the new station building at the Halsey station is progressing rapidly.
It is expected that the building, which is to be a l^-story concrete block struc-
ture, will be completed during the winter.

As part of the new record-keeping system for the planting stations a set of
cards has been issued covering " seed sowing," " seedlings," " transplants,"
" field planting," " field plantations." The cards, which give a complete record

24

of nursery and planting operations, seedlings on hand, and condition of planta-
tions, are to be filled out in duplicate on May 15 and November 1 each year.
One set is to be sent to Washington and the other retained for the station files.

Planting Plans.

An examination of the lands of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
in Monroe, Carbon, and Schuylkill counties, Pa., has been completed by A. S.
Peck. These comprize four separate tracts of about 60,000 acres and offer an
interesting variety of forest conditions.

The Monroe County lands are held to protect the headwaters of the Lehigh
River. Most of this region has been denuded of merchantable species, so that
forest planting is necessary, and in order to make this practicable the fire
danger must be reduced. The planting plan for about 1,100 acres in the vicinity
of Tobyhanna, Pa., already submitted to the company, provides for the planting
of Scotch pine, shortleaf pine, red pine, pitch pine, white pine, European larch,
Norway spruce, tamarack, and red oak, with a view to demonstrating the best
treatment for the remainder of the lands in this region. Its recommendations
include a fire patrol, the clearing .of fire lines, the use of old roads in fire fight-
ing, and the building of a watch tower.

The Carbon County and Schuykill County lands are naturally favorable for
chestnut, red oak, European larch, and Scotch pine. The demand for timber
of all sizes for use in the mines will make forest planting profitable, provided
that fire is prevented. A report will be submitted later recommending planting
for a small typical area capable of being protected from fire at slight expense.
It will be advised that a forester be employed to have full charge of this tract
and to assist the superintendent of the Monroe County lands, who has himself
had some training in practical forestry.

Special Studies.

The study of tree planting in agricultural regions in California, in coopera-
tion with the State, is practically completed. S. J. Flintham, who has been
engaged in this work, is now preparing a report on eucalyptus planting, which
is part of the general planting study, and before returning to Washington will
secure the additional data needed for a report on planting on nonagricultural
lands.

FOREST PRODUCTS.

Telephone Pole Treatments.

A series of experiments are now in progress at Escanaba, Mich., to further
test the . open-tank method for treating telephone poles. Arborvitse poles are
now being tried to supplement last year's tests on chestnut and white cedar.
An average penetration of three-fourths of an inch, with a maximum of over
an inch, has already been secured on the arborvitse.

Brush treatments with carbolineum and creosote are also being tried on the
arborvitae poles. At the completion of this series of tests these poles will be
set in an experimental line for the purpose of obtaining comparative results.

25

Tamarack and Hemlock Tie Treatments.

The Forest Service has recently been investigating the method of treating
tamarack and hemlock ties used by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad at
its plant at Escanaba, Mich. A number of ties have been cut at various
seasons of the year and allowed to season, and are now being treated in a
series of experimental runs at the Escanaba plant It has been found that
green tamarack and hemlock weighing as much as 48 and 50 pounds per cubic
foot can not be treated successfully, but that when the timber is seasoned to a
weight of 38 to 42 pounds per cubic foot good results can be obtained. Both
the Burnettizing and the Wellhouse processes have been used. The treated
ties, together with seasoned untreated and green untreated ties, will later be
placed in an experimental tract for comparative tests.

Mine Prop Treatments.

C. G. Crawford, after an inspecting trip to the mines of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, reports highly encouraging progress in the
experimental treatments \vhich the company is carrying on to ascertain the best
methods of handling and treating mine props. Tho the treated timbers
have been in the mines only about four months their superiority is shown by
the fact that they remain free from the decay which has attacked the untreated
timber. Plans are now under way for the erection of a small commercial plant
to test further the advisability of using treated timbers on a larger scale.

Beserve Engineering.

W. E. Herring, formerly connected with the Irrigation and Drainage Investi-
gations of the Department of Agriculture, has been placed in charge of the Sec-
tion of Reserve Engineering and will have general supervision of all engineering
work on reserves done by private interests or by the Forest Service.

Timber Tests.

Tests to determine the relative strength of the various timbers on the re-
serves are in progress at the Service testing station at Seattle, Wash. The test
material now on hand includes Alpine fir and Engelmann spruce from the Pecos
Reserve, New Mexico ; red fir and western yellow pine from the Pikes Peak Re-
serve, Colorado ; Alpine fir, Engelmann spruce, and lodgepole pine from the
Medicine Bow Reserve, Wyoming.

J. B. Knapp, in charge of the Service timber-testing station at Eugene, Oreg.,
has accepted the directorship of the testing laboratory of the University of
Oregon, where the testing station is located.

During the past six months M. Cline has spent a month or more at each of
the timber-testing laboratories, in order to bring the testing methods up to a
uniform standard of efficiency.

RECORD.

Supplies.

The Service has adopted a new system in the Section of Supplies by which
greater promptness in filling requisitions is gained. By this system all blanks
used in listing, invoicing, and back ordering the supplies called for are pre-
pared at one writing, and articles in stock are packed for shipment at once,
altho stored in different departments. It involves a slight change in the forms
used by the Property Clerk for invoice and receipt. No change is made, however,
in the forms used for invoicing and receipting for property transferred by one
member of the Service to another or to the Property Clerk.

When articles on requisition are not in stock notice of the approximate date
of shipment is sent to the member for whom the articles are ordered. The
uncertainty in the time of delivery of supplies purchased and of blank forms
makes it impracticable to give definitely in advance the date when articles will
be shipped.

Invoices of property should be checked up immediately upon the receipt of
the articles and notice given promptly of any apparent error in the ship-
ment or in the invoice itself. Many of the packages containing supplies are
shipped by mail, and delay in giving notice when articles are missing lessens
the chance of their recovery from the mail. Promptness should also be used in
returning receipts for nonexpendable property and in handling documents of
any kind involving responsibility for property. The correctness of the prop-
erty account depends largely upon the cooperation given by men in the field.

Receipts for nonexpendable property must be signed in person by the member
to whose account the property is charged. The responsibility is strictly per-
sonal, and the signature of a member acting temporarily for another will not
be accepted.

Since many of the articles called for in requisitions must be purchased it
is essential that forest officers and other field members anticipate their needs
as far as practicable. Many annoying delays, which are unavoidable if supplies
are procured in small quantities and at frequent intervals thruout the year,

27

will be obviated if requisitions are made March 1 and September 1 for routine
supplies needed during the ensuing six months, in accordance with the instruc-
tions printed on page 111 of " The Use Book."

Photographic Laboratory.

Rolls of films sent out from the Service are plainly marked with the date after
which they should not be used because of deterioration, and members are ex-
pected to return them to the photographer at the date given, if unused. The
observance of this rule will insure good results from exposures, and will also
save the writing of letters calling for the return of the expired films.

Mail.

Postage stamps in payment of the registry fee must be affixt when official
matter is sent by registered mail by one forest officer to another or to the Service
at Washington. The penalty frank provided for official mail takes the place of
the ordinary postage but not of the additional charge for registering. Reim-
bursement is made in the monthly expense account if the postmaster's receipt for
the registered matter is submitted as voucher.

Personal mail of all classes addrest to members of the Service is forwarded
without the payment of additional postage if the postmaster at the forwarding
office is informed that the address is changed by official orders, either by the use
of a rubber stamp or by sending postal card Form 560.

GRAZING.

A. F. Potter, inspector of grazing, returned to Washington November 25.
The grazing arrangements and authorizations for 1907 will be taken up and
acted upon without delay.

RESERVE ORGANIZATION.

Telegraphic messages, unless paid for and submitted in monthly accounts, are
not charged to the reserve authorization, but are paid from a general fund set
aside for that purpose.

After repeated requests to submit Form 99 with every expense account
rearly 50 per cent of accounts are received from officers in charge without this
form attached. This causes much unnecessary clerical work in the Washing-
ton office. A cost-keeping system by projects and lines of work is now in opera-
tion for all expenditures of the Forest Service, and it is necessary that this
form accompany each Form 4 or Form A voucher, in order that the account
can be properly apportioned among the different items.

To avoid delay in the payment of accounts this form, when omitted, has
heretofore been made out in this office, but in the future the officer in charge

28

will be held strictly responsible, and every account received without Form
99 attached will be returned for correction.

It should be specially noted that transportation requests are not chargeable
on Form 99, but are made the subject of a separate account under the allot-
ment for " Travel."

SERVICE NOTES FOR JANUARY, 1907.

The use, by members of the Forest Service, of cards bearing their official title is
entirely permissible and has proved useful in field work. These cards should be on
plain white paper, and in size and type should conform to the accepted standard for
visiting cards. The official title should be printed in the lower left-hand corner of
the card, and should in every case be identical in statement with the title actually
given by appointment.

LAW.

Claims.

The geologists from the Geological Survey who have been examining alleged ille-
gal mining claims in the Prescott Forest Reserve, in Arizona, will, when they have
concluded their work on that reserve, examine similar claims on the Jemez, Pecos
River, and Lincoln forest reserves, New Mexico.

Their report of the examination made in the Plumas Forest Reserve is now in the
hands <ft the Secretary of the Interior.

Privileges.

The following important special privilege permits were issued by the Forester
between November 15 and December 20:

Nevada Power Mining and Milling Company, Reservoir No. 1, in the Northern
division of the Sierra Reserve, California.

Arizona Sanitorium and Touring Company, Sanitorium, Black Mesa Reserve,
Arizona.

The following right-of-way cases, referred from the Department of the Interior to
the Forester for report as to whether the projects would interfere with forest-reserve
interests, were returned to that Department between November 15 and December
20 with favorable reports by the Forester:

Mary L. Patton, reservoir; Leon Lake Ditch Company, reservoir and ditch; H. E.
Roberts et al. , reservoir ; Surface Creek Ditch and Reservoir Company, reservoir ;

DENDROLOGY.

Additions to the Range of Forest Trees.

Incense Cedar. — The geographical range of incense cedar (Librocedrus decurrens
Torrey) is now extended 25 miles farther to the north, in Oregon, and over
100 miles farther to the east, than it was formerly known to exist. In connection
with field investigations in Oregon, E. E. Carter, of the Forest Service, discovered
trees of this species growing on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains on the
dry foothills southeast of Mount Hood, in townships 4 and 5, ranges 10 and 11 east,
at elevations of from 2,200 to 2,700 feet. Formerly this tree was known in Oregon
only from the North Fork of the Santiam River and southward over the western
slopes of the Cascades, extending eastward on these slopes only to -the Warner Moun-
tains. It is also known to range southward in California on" the western slopes of
the Sierra Nevada and Coast Range mountains, from southern Mendocino County to
the San Bernardino, San Jacinto, and Cuyamaca mountains; also in western Nevada
and in lower California on Mount San Pedro Matir.

Sugar Pine. — The occurrence of sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana) in the Sierra
Madre Mountains of the San Gabriel Reserve, in southern California, has recently
been noted for the first time by R. D. Craig, technical assistant in the Forest Service.
The other principal mountain ranges of southern California are known to contain
sugar pine, but it has never before been observed in the Sierra Madre. In the Santa
Lucia coast range south of Monterey, CaL, sugar pine was discovered by F. G.
Plummer and M. G. Goswell, of the Service, on Santa Lucia and Cone peaks, at
elevations between 4,000 and 4,950 feet. It has been known for some time that sugar
pine occurs in the Santa Lucia Range, but its exact location there has not before
been ascertained.

Macnab Cypress. — New groves of Macnab cypress (Cupressus macnabiana) have
been discovered for the first time in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California by
G. E. Rutherford, formerly a Forest Guard in the Service. The discovery became
known by Mr. Rutherford's sending specimens for identification. He found three
groves near Dobbin, Yuba County, CaL, on Dry and Indiana creeks, branches of the
Yuba River. G. Syme, who also sent specimens for identification, recently added
to the number of known groves of Macnab cypress three new groves near the head
of Hooker Canyon in the Napa Mountains, Sonoma County, Cal. These are from
10 to 12 miles south of the groves heretofore known, which are mostly in the moun-
tains of Lake and Napa counties, Cal.

Sitka Cypress. — The late Mr. A. J. Johnson reported, shortly before his death, in
1903, that the Sitka or yellow cypress (Chameecyparis nootkatensis) extends 150 miles
south of Mount Hood in the Cascade Range of Oregon. It had previously been
observed in Oregon only as far south as Mount Jefferson and the valley of the San-
tiam River.

California Laurel. — California laurel ( Umbellularia calif ornica] has recently been
observed by J. I. Corbin along the South Fork of the Umpaqua River and in Coos
County, Oreg. This is a northward extension of from 30 to 40 miles in its range,
since it had previously been observed in Oregon as far north only as the Rogue River.

These new extensions of range are exceedingly important discoveries, which came
to hand most opportunely for use in the preparation of a manual of Pacific trees
now under way. It is very desirable that other members of the Service should
report all observations made by them, especially on the range of western forest
trees. The information is needed just now to define the distribution of these trees
as fully as possible.

FOREST EXTENSION.

Watershed Studies.

John D. Guthrie has submitted a report on the watersheds from which the city of
Pocatello, Idaho, obtains its supply of water. These watersheds are located in the
Pocatello Reserve, and cover approximately 14,500 acres. As a whole, they are in
serious need of protection. It is believed that forest planting upon them will have
a beneficial effect upon the permanency and continuity of the stream flow. It is

18354—06 2

18

evident in many parts of the watershed that the former forest cover was much denser
than the present one and the change has been brought about by continued burning
and overgrazing. It is recommended that for the first three or four years planting
be confined to the most favorable situations, as follows: (1) North slopes, (2) areas
immediately surrounding the present forest stand, (3) small patches of aspen, (4)
the swales at the source of streams, and (5) strips on either side of small streams.
Douglas fir is recommended for most extensive planting, but experiments are to be
conducted with western yellow pine, lodgepole pine, and western larch, since it is
believed that these species will prove valuable in that region. A nursery has already
been established at Camp Steely, and seed beds will be planted during the coming
spring.

Rangers' Nurseries.

George W. Peavy has established two small rangers' nurseries in the Santa Barbara
Keserve. One of these is in the Santa Inez Valley, 23 miles from the city of Santa
Barbara and 8 miles by road from the San Marcos nursery station. It has an alti-
tude of 900 feet, and soil conditions are very favorable for successful nursery work.
The other nursery is located at rangers' headquarters, on Mono Creek, and is well
suited for nursery purposes. Since these nurseries are at low altitudes, it is planned
to experiment with some species of the eucalypts as well as with the conifers
commonly found in southern California.

Planting- Stations.

Semiannual reports from the men in charge of planting stations have been
received and indicate excellent progress in nursery work. On December 1, at the
six stations, there were 3,188,920 one-year-old and 1,456,900 two-year-old seedlings
and 898,860 transplants, making a total of all stock on hand at the stations, in round
numbers, of five and a half millions.

Special Studies.

The State geologist of North Carolina has applied to the Forest Service for assist-
ance in devising measures to prevent damage from shifting sands and from the
destructive action of the sea along the North Carolina coast. The damage from these
sources is increasing yearly, and it seems necessary that some action be taken by the
State very soon. An examination of portions of the coast will be begun during this
month by a representative of the Forest Service. It is expected that this investi-
gation will find some adequate and practical means of control, as well as indicate a
proper policy of action for the State.

PUBLICATION AND EDUCATION.

The resignation of Alfred Gaskill takes from the Forest Service one of its oldest
members. He entered the former Division of Forestry in 1899, and his services in
many directions were notable.

Addresses on forest subjects were delivered at the following places in December:
Northwest Iowa Horticultural Society, Sioux City, Iowa, December 4; H. P.

BAKER.

New Forms of General Interest.

(Supply of these forms may be obtained on requisition — Form 668.)

125. Trail poster (muslin, 5| by 10 £ inches).

Guide poster, giving name of the trail and direction and distance of familiar
landmarks.

129. Education— Addresses (file card).

For use in the Office of Publication and Education as a record of addresses
given, a prompter of forthcoming engagements, and a memorandum of
requests for addresses. Members of the Service receiving requests for
addresses should report the fact to the Editor, who will, tin occasion, send
publications, lantern slides, or other material, with a file card to be filled
out and returned after the address is given.

130. Herbarium specimen labels.

For use of members of the Service in marking specimens sent for identification
to the Dendrologist.

142. Camp poster (muslin, 8 by 10 £ inches) .

Designed to give information to travelers as to the location and proper use of
good camping sites. It is provided with blank spaces for the name of the
camp, the distance in either direction to the next camp, and the names of
the reserve and of the forest supervisor in charge.

143. Certificate of Service. (Supersedes, except for emergency use, Form 647.)

Party certificate of service, designed especially for use of forest officers in charge
in preparing a combined statement of monthly salaries for all the mem-
bers engaged on the reserve. If the space provided permits, the supervisor
should certify to the services of all under his supervision, though they
may be engaged on different reserves. To insure the prompt transmission
of this certificate the officer in charge may omit the name of any member
whose period of service can not for any reason be determined or certified.
A Form 3 voucher may be subsequently stated for this claim. Printed
instructions on the back of the certificate should be carefully read and
followed. By so doing delays and confusion which sometimes attend the
introduction of a new form may be avoided. It is hoped that this form
will prove a convenience to forest officers, by enabling the Special Fiscal
Agent to make prompt settlement of Service accounts, and effect a great
saving in the handling, monthly, of numerous forms both in the field and
in Washington.

151. Open-Tank Treatment (sheet 8 by 10 J inches, printed and ruled both sides).

This form should be used by all members engaged in experiments by the open-
tank preservative-treatment methods.

152. Notice to Stockmen.

A circular for use of forest officers in giving information regarding the grazing
periods, allotments, and fees. It is designed for posting in post-offices and
other public places.

20

153. Card Notice to Stockmen.

Penalty postal card for use by forest officers in notifying persons who held
grazing permits for 1906 of the date on which applications for permits to
graze stock during the coming season must be filed.

157. Sheets of Photographic Township Plats (140), scale, i inch to a mile, on onion-

skin paper, 19 by 24 inches.

This form is printed on the opposite side of the sheet from which the sketch is
to be drawn, thus avoiding erasure of the lines in removing the rough
draft. It is intended for .use in preparing small scale diagrams to be
duplicated by blueprints. Black ink or black lead pencil should be used.

158. Sample Plots Kecord.

For use in the Section of Silvics in recording measurements from the sample
plots. This file is open to members of the Service who desire information
concerning the experiments in thinnings, reproduction, removal of litter
upon the growth, development of the stand, etc.

Form A (long).

In reprinting Form A the length has been extended to 14 inches, thereby pro-
viding 27 lines for entry of items. Those who find the space for itemiza-
tion inadequate in the old form may requisition a supply of the larger size
at once, utilizing the stock on hand in the statement of accounts with
few items.

FOREST MANAGEMENT.

The following regulations have been made by the Forester to govern the cut of
timber on the Henrys Lake Forest Reserve:

The cut of timber on the Henrys Lake Forest Reserve for the calendar year 1907
will be restricted as follows:

The total cut will be limited to 6,000,000 feet B. M., divided thus:

Four million feet of red fir and the lodgepole pine which occurs with it, of which
not to exceed 1,500,000 for free use and the rest for sale.

Two millions of lodgepole pine, for sale or free use at the discretion of the super-
visor.

A sale of 90,000,000 feet of western yellow pine has been approved to the Greenlaw
Lumber Company at the rate of $3.50 per thousand feet, under a five-year contract,
on the San Francisco Mountains Forest Reserve.

In inserting the date in notices of sale, up to which bids will be received,, it is
important to see that the period covered by the publication is not less than thirty
days.

Silvics.

The Section of Silvics has been transferred from the Office of Publication and Edu-
cation to the Office of Forest Management, where its services will be especially use-
ful in connection with the many problems arising in the technical management of
the reserves, particularly with timber sales.

21

FOREST PRODUCTS.

Wood Utilization.

The field work in the study of dead timber on the forest reserves has been com-
pleted for this season, and final reports are now being prepared. The reserves exam-
ined were Pecos River, Jemez, Pikes Peak, Holy Cross, Battlement Mesa, Gunnison,
San Juan, Medicine Bow, Beaver, and Uinta.

This study has brought together a great deal of valuable information upon the
quantity, condition, accessibility, and usefulness of the sound dead timberfDn these

Statistics of Forest Products.

In furtherance of the plan of cooperation between the Bureau of the Census and
the Forest Service for the collection of annual statistics of forest products, R. S. Kel-
logg has been appointed a Special Agent of the Bureau of the Census. Satisfactory
progress is being made in the preparations for collecting the statistics for 1906, and
so far the plan of cooperation is proving to be an excellent one.

Fence Post Treatments.

The experiments of treating dry lodgepole pine posts with creosote are giving
very satisfactory results. The sapwood is entirely penetrated with ease. The time
required for sufficient treatment and the best methods of operation are yet to be
determined.

RECORD.

Accounts.

Vouchers for salary of Technical Assistants on duty on forest reserves must be
forwarded monthly to Washington for settlement by the Supervisor in charge, who
will initial all such vouchers and accompany them with Form 647.

Supplies.

A number of letters have recently been received from Forest Officers stating that
the agents of local express companies refuse to deliver shipments marked ''Prepaid"
unless the charges, either in whole or in part, are prepaid in cash. Express ship-
ments from the Service in Washington are, when practicable, prepaid in full to
destination, including both express and stage charges. There are, however, a few
towns in which the headquarters of Forest Officers are located, remote from the
railroads, with which express companies have no stage connections. Shipments to
these points are prepaid only to the nearest or most convenient station. When this
is done, notation of the fact is made on the invoice of the Property Clerk. Hereafter
similar notation will also be attached to each package. In such cases the stage
charges only should be paid by the consignees, for which a receipt showing rate and
weight must be taken and submitted in the monthly reimbursement account. When
the payment of charges is demanded on shipments marked " Prepaid in Full to Des-
tination," Forest Officers, before making payment, should request definite instruc-
tions from this Office.

22

Telegrams.

When ordinary commercial telegraphic forms are used they must be marked
"Official business, charge Forest Service, Washington, D. C.," and the sender must
give the number of his identification card. Official blanks for telegrams are fur-
nished by the Service upon requisition, and these require only the number of the
sender's identification card. It is expected that members of the Service will keep
themselves supplied with the official blank.
I

New Forms.

On July 1 new forms of vouchers, Form A, Form 3, and Form 4, were adopted,
and members of the Service have been supplied with them. In stating accounts only
the new forms should be used. Old forms which are on hand should be destroyed.

GRAZING.

The widely circulated report that Judge Whitson's decision in the case of United
States v. Matthews would affect the collection of grazing fees is regretted, and it is
hoped that the press bulletin of December 12 has helped forest officers to bring the
matter before the public in such a way as to correct this misunderstanding.

The half-rate allowance made on a limited number of cattle in each State was a
special concession for 1906, and will not apply this year. Aside from this, no mate-
rial advance in the fees will be made, except that a slightly higher rate will be
charged for horses. No count will be made of lambs under 6 months old, but the
fees will be increased sufficiently to cover the young stock.

The annual grazing reports show the past year to have been exceptionally favor-
able for the stockmen. The range has been good everywhere and stock which entered
the reserves thin in flesh have come out in good condition at the end of the season.
The market has been good and the prices obtained for all classes of live stock have
been in advance of last year. It is reported that lambs from the Uinta and Teton
reserves topped the market on this class of stock from their respective localities.

Live-stock associations in Oregon, WTyoming, Colorado, and Arizona, whose mem-
bers are users of the forest reserves, have been recognized and consulted with in
regard to important matters directly affecting their members, and the advantage of
cooperative action has already been realized in the satisfactory settlement of many
local problems.

RESERVE ORGANIZATION.

A few of the supervisors have submitted invoices for lumber, wire, etc., to be
used in cabin construction, fencing, etc., on Form 939. Invoices for such items for
cabin or fence construction will not be required, and all officers in charge should
please so note.

23

A number of letters, accounts, etc., are received from reserve officers bearing
stamped signatures. This practice should be strictly avoided, except in cases where
duplicate letters or forms are forwarded. The stamped signature should never appear
on original letters, expense accounts, or forms of any kind.

Whenever a forest officer receives a letter which has been misdirected, a brief
of the contents of the letter should be noted on the envelope, which should be
returned to the forester in order that the mistake may be located in this office and
future errors avoided.

Supervisors have authority to grant leave of absence to forest assistants assigned
to technical work on their reserves the same as to forest rangers and forest guards.

There seems to be some misunderstanding among local officers in regard to Sun-
days and holidays included in leave without pay. Sundays and holidays are credited
only on leave with pay, but not when on leave without pay, and in the latter case
they should be deducted from the salary voucher.

When supervisors initial or otherwise certify a voucher for refund, an indorsement ,
or entry should be made on the proper record (Form 615 for timber sale, 940 for
timber settlement, 621 for grazing, 619 for privilege, 618 for trespass, or 938 for
mining claims). This record should invariably be consulted before certifying to
refunds, in order to prevent the certification of a duplicate refund and in that way
contributing to a duplicate payment. Space will be provided for these entries as
these forms are reprinted.

NORTHERN DISTRICT.

F. N. Raines, Forest Supervisor of the Lewis and Clark (North) Reserve, is organ-
izing the Kootenai Reserve, in Montana and Idaho, established by Presidential
proclamation August 18. The headquarters of the Kootenai Reserve is Libby, Mont.
Forest Ranger William H. Daugs will be in charge of the Lewis and Clark (North)
Reserve during the absence of Supervisor Haines.

Supervisor Ira E. Todd has assumed charge of the additions to the Little Belt
Reserve, established by Presidential proclamation December 6. His headquarters
will remain at Neihart, Mont.

F. A. Fenn, Forest Supervisor, has started the administration of the Sawtooth
addition and the Coeur d'Alene^Reserve. The headquarters of the Coeur d'Alene
Reserve will be Wallace, Idaho. During Supervisor Fenn's absence Forest Ranger
Emil Grandjean will be in charge of the Payette and Sawtooth reserves.

24

Forest Supervisor Lafferty, of the Weiser Reserve, reports 34 fires during the year
1906. It is worthy of note that the total area burned over was only 320 acres, and
the total expenses of fighting the fires, outside of the rangers' time, only $47.

B. F. McConnell, Forest Supervisor of the Priest River Reserve, has assumed
charge of the additions on the east of the reserve established by Presidential procla-
mation November 6. This increased the area of the Priest River Reserve by 270,880
acres.

Forest Supervisor Haines, of the Lewis and Clark (North) Reserve, has submitted
a fire report which shows that the cost of fighting fires in 1906 was only about one-
sixth of the cost in 1905. The total area burned over was 904 acres.

Out of a total of 66 fires on the Lewis and Clark (South) Reserve during 1906,
Forest Supervisor Bunker reports 56 to have started from locomotives, 7 from light-
ning, 2 from campers, and 1 from brush burning. The cost of fighting fires on this
reserve this year was only one-fifth of that of last year, and the area burned over
was very much, reduced.

A railroad speeder used for patrol along the Great Northern Railroad proved an
unqualified success. One man patrolled several times the area he could have
patrolled on foot or horseback, and he had the additional advantage of having with
him at all times his tools and camp equipment.

Elers Koch, formerly Forest Inspector, has been made Supervisor of the Montana
division of the Bitter Root Reserve and the Bitter Root slope of the Hell Gate
Reserve, with headquarters at Missoula, Mont.

SERYICE NOTES FOR MARCH, 1907.
LAW.

Claims.

The geologists from the Geological Survey who have been examining alleged
illegal mining claims in the Chiricahua Reserve, Arizona, have finished their work
in that reserve and have been sent to examine such claims in the Gila and Big
Burros reserves, New Mexico.

Privileges.

The following right-of-way cases, referred from the Department of the Interior to
the Forester for report as to whether the projects would interfere with forest reserve
interests, were returned to that Department between January 15 and February 15
with favorable reports by the Forester:

City of Grand Junction, pipe line, Battlement Mesa Reserve, Colorado; William
Van Pelt, reservoir, Battlement Mesa Reserve; Parker Basin Reservoir Company,
reservoirs, Battlement Mesa Reserve; Coon Creek Reservoir Company, reservoirs,
Battlement Mesa Reserve; J. E. Hanson, reservoir. Battlement Mesa Reserve; J.
Hartley Poage, reservoir, San Juan Reserve, Colorado; Fanny I. Todd, reservoir,
Gunnison Reserve, Colorado; Branch Mint Railroad Company, railroad, Black Hills
Reserve, South Dakota.

Class B Sales.

Since the law definitely limits the amount of timber which can be sold without
advertisement to a stum page value of not more than $100, great care should be taken
in making Class B sales that the value of the timber cut does not exceed $100. It is
better to make a sale a little under this limit, to allow for a possible excess cutting.
Where through poor estimating th6re is an overcut, the excess should be charged to
the original sale in Class B as in Class C sales.

OFFICE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT.

Free-Use Business.

The annual reports on free-use business show that, in round numbers, $75,000
worth of material has been granted to 15,000 permittees. The Wenaha Reserve in
eastern Washington and Oregon leads with a total valuation of over $5,000. The
Henrys Lake, Weiser, and Bear River forest reserves allgranted over $3,500 worth
of material. The minimum amount for any one reserve was about $5. Naturally
those reserves which are situated in the heavily timbered parts of Oregon and Wash-
ington have the least free-use business, while the figures given above show that
reserves which handle the greatest number of free-use permits are located in eastern
Washington, southern Idaho, Colorado, and Utah. In the Southwest there are few
reserves which granted over $1,000 worth of material, although on most of them the
free-use business was of great importance to the settlers living near the reserves.

Timber Settlements.

Several supervisors have requested information in regard to the handling and
closing of timber settlements. In any privilege which involves the cutting or
destruction of timber, payment for that timber is required, and timber-sale regula-
tions apply to the cutting. When there is an opportunity to scale the timber, cutting
reports should be rendered as in a timber sale — that is, only a single report to the
Forester is required if the total yalue is $100 or less; if the value is over $100,
monthly reports should be made during the period in which cutting is in progress.

A timber settlement should be reported for closing when cutting is finished and
brush properly disposed of (if cutting is done), or when construction work is com-
pleted, if no timber is cut. In cases where construction will extend over a long
period and no scaling will be possible, if the supervisor is assured that no timber
except that included in the estimate will be cut or destroyed, he may report the
case for closing when full payment has been made. This will apply to reservoir
rights of way in which the timber will not be cut, and to similar cases.

Forest Description Sheets.

It has been found in a great many cases that the supervisors fail to keep duplicates
of the forest description sheet in an advertised sale. The absence of this duplicate
prevents satisfactory inspection work in the office of the supervisor, and it should be
fully understood that supervisors are expected to keep a copy of the forest descrip-
tion on file in their offices.

Silvics.

During the month of February silvical notes upon the following species were
collected and placed on file:

Alpine larch (Larixli/allii), Bigtree (Sequoia washingtoniana).

Blue spruce (Picea parry ana). One-seed juniper (Juniperus monosperma).

Lowland fir (Abies grandis). California juniper (Juniperus californica).

Alpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa). Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum).

Red fir (Abies magnifica). Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia).

Western yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa}. — The range of western yellow pine in the
California Coast Ranges has been recently cleared up considerably, but it is still im-
perfectly known. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Bureau of Biological Survey, noted it in
1899 on the mountains between Hoopa Valley and Redwood Creek, Humboldt
County. The main body of Coast Range yellow pine is reported by S. J. Flintham to
extend southward to central Lake County, and westward sparingly in eastern
Mendocino County on the headwaters of Eel River. Prof. W. L. Jepson found it
on some of the ridges southward into Sonoma and Napa counties, but not on the
inner Coast Range bordering Solano and Yolo counties. South of San Francisco
Bay it occurs on the Mount Hamilton ranges, and recently scattered trees were
seen by S. J. Flintham on the crest of the seaward Coast Range above Woodside
and Palo Alto. Further south it was noted by F. G. Plummer and M. G. Goswell,
in 1905, on the crest of the Santa Lucia Mountains in the Carmelo, Sur, Arroyo
Seco, Nacimiento and San Antonio river basins, while in 1906 Mr. Flintham saw

17

scattered trees in San Luis Obispo County on the north and south ridges between
the Carisso Plains and the valleys where San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande are
situated. Messrs. Plummer, Goswell, Hatton, and Sterling recently noted it in the
Santa Barbara Reserve east of Pine Mountain between Thorn Meadows and Pine
Mountain Lodge, and in part of the Alamo Mountain region. It was also seen by
Mr. Hatton in the San Gabriel Mountains on Mount Wilson, Pine and Brown Flats,
etc., and forming a timber forest from the head of Sheep Creek throughout the
Upper Swarthout Valley on to some of the higher portions of the San Gabriel and
San Antonio watersheds, as well as in the vicinity of Mount Gleason, in the eastern
part of the San Gabriel Reserve. R.. D. Craig reports that in the San Bernardino
Mountains yellow pine forms the main stand from Little Bear Valley to Sawpit
Canyon and occurs less abundantly nearly to Cleghorn Pass and Deep Creek. A
range not previously published and just reported by Mr. Flintham for northeastern
California is in the northern part of Modoc Reserve, on the Shafer and Warner
mountains, and extending from the latter range into Surprise Valley at an elevation
of 4,800 feet to within a few miles of the Nevada line.

Limber pine (Pinus fexilis}. — Two additional new stations for this pine in southern
Idaho, west of the Continental Divide, have just been reported by A. E. Oman,
forest assistant. One is near the headwaters of Cub and Maple creeks, at an eleva-
tion of 7,500 to 8,000 feet, in the Bear River Reserve, and the other is on the summit
of Oxford Peak, in the same reserve, at an altitude of 9,000 to 9,500 feet.

Bristle-coif", pine (Pinus aristata). — Heretofore the southern limit has been in the
Culebra Range of Colorado. J. H. Hatton has, however, recently reported that this
pine extends southward over the northern part of New Mexico, and H. P. Baker
also reports it at 11,000 feet elevation on slopes just below Pecos Baldy Pass in the
Pecos River Reserve.

Lodgepole pine (Pinus murraijana). — It is surprising that up to the present time no
record has been published of the occurrence of lodgepole pine as far east as the
Black Hills, South Dakota, the nearest point being several hundred miles farther
west. Henry S. Graves supplied the first record of its presence in the southeastern
part of the Black Hills by a photograph he took in 1897 of a tree 3 feet in diameter on
Squaw Creek. Recently R. P. Imes, technical forest assistant, reported having
found a stand of about 40,000 feet of lodgepole pine in sec. 5, T. 2 N., R. 2 E.; also a
medium-sized group in sec. 29, T. 3 N., R. 3 PI, and a single tree in the northeast
quarter section of sec. 27, T. 3 N., R. 3 E.

Sitka spruce. (Picea sitchensis). — The southmost station now known for this tree is
Fort Bragg, on the Mendocino County coast, recently reported by S. J. Flintham.
It is hoped that further careful search will be made in this region, where the range of
Sitka spruce is believed to be still imperfectly known.

Weeping spruce (Picea breweriana). — Until recently this rare and little-known
spruce has been known to occur in the western part only of the Siskiyou Mountains,
in southern Oregon and northern California. It is supposed to have been found also
on Black Butte at the western base of Mount Shasta, in 1863, but it has not been seen
there since. Recently the range has been extended southward about 100 miles by
Miss Alice Eastwood, of the California Academy of Sciences, and by E. Koch, who
discovered groves on Canyon Creek (T. 35 N., R. 10 W.) in the southern Trinity
Mountains; while C. J. Buck, R. B. Wilson, and S. J. Flintham recently reported
weeping spruce on several mountain ridges in the Klamath and Trinity forest reserves,
from one of which specimens were sent to this office for identification.

Further search should extend the range and, it is hoped, rediscover this spruce
near Mount Shasta, where Prof. W. H. Brewer found it so long ago.

Tamarack (Larix laricina}. — The long conjectured occurrence of tamarack in Alaska
is now confirmed by the explorations of L. B. Bishop, Biological Survey, and by L.
M. Prindleand A. F. Brooks, of the U. S. Geological Survey, who observed it on the

18

Yukon at the mouth of the Tanana (lat. 65° KK, long. 152°), over the Tanana Valley
and its tributaries (east to long. 146°), and west on the upper Kuskokwim and its
tributaries, to about longitude 154°. The last point is the westmost limit now known
for tamarack and Minook Creek, tributary of the Yukon in lat. 65° 30', is the north-
most limit known in Alaska. The point farthest to the northwest at which tamarack
was previously known to occur is Finlayson Lake (long. 130° 30/, lat. 61° 35X), which is
over 500 miles east and over 250 miles south of the Alaska stations recently discovered.

Alpine larch (Larix lyallii}. — The distribution of this larch is not yet fully known.
Its southern range was extended quite recently into Montana and Idaho. Two large
tracts were found in 1898 by H. B. Ayres in northern Montana, one on the summit
of the Continental Divide above 6,000 feet, extending from the Canadian boundary
southward 15 miles to the head of Quartz Creek, and the other, extending along
the summits of the Whitefish Mountains south to Whitefish Creek. Two other
bodies found in Montana by him in 1899 are the most southern forests known of
this tree. One is on the east slope of the Continental Divide, above 7,000 to 8,000
feet, at Camp Creek Pass at the head of the Middle Fork of Sun Eiver, while the
other is on the western slope of the Continental Divide at Pend Oreille Pass, on
the divide between the Clearwater and West Fork of South Fork of Flathead River.
J. B. Leiberg discovered alpine larch in the Bitterroot Forest Reserve of Idaho on
the main range of the Bitterroots at elevations above 7,500 feet from Lolo Pass
nearly to Nez Perces Pass, and also on the Lochsa-Selway divide above Grave Peak.
These points represent the southmost limit known for the tree in Idaho*

In Oregon Prof. C. V. Piper and others have also extended the range of alpine
larch southward from Mount Stuart to Mount Hood, in the Cascade Range, where
its distribution is still very imperfectly known.

Arizona cypress (Cupressus arizoiiica}.—^. G. Willson, Forest Ranger, recently
sent specimens for identification of what proves to be this cypress from a new
locality. He writes that he found a body of it situated approximately 4 miles north-
west of the southeastern corner of the Prescott Forest Reserve, Central Arizona,
at an elevation of about 5.500 feet. The grove extends over nearly 160 acres, and lies
on the head of the south prong of Rock Creek, the heaviest stand being on the east
side of Shamrock Butte. So far as now known Arizona cypress has only a limited
and disconnected range on a few mountains in Arizona and northern Mexico.
Mention here is due Supervisor F. C. W. Pooler for encouraging Mr. Willson to
report this find.

California torreya (Tumi on. caMfornicum) . — Much has been recently added to the
hitherto little-known range of this interesting California tree in the Sierras. S. J^
Flintham found it on Butte, Chico, and Deer creeks, in Yuba and Tehama counties,
thus extending the range 30 miles farther north than the previously recorded
northern limit on Upper Yuba and Feather rivers. In 1899 George B. Sud worth
noted it in the Stanislaus Reserve on Empire Creek (tributary of South Fork of
American River) at 2,500 feet elevation, on north slope of South Fork of Moke-
lumne River at 2,000 to 2,500 feet, on San Antonio Creek (tributary of south fork of
Calaveras River) at 2,000 feet, and on south Fork of Webber Creek at 3,000 feet.
Farther south it was observed by Mr. Sudworth in 1900, and several years later by
Mr. Flintham, near the Dinkey Bigtree Grove (in T. 10 S., R. 26 E.), in the valley
of Mill Creek (tributary of Kings River) Ui sec. 13, T. 14 S., R. 27 E., in ''draws"
and canyons along the stage road to the Giant Forest, on the road to Mineral King,
on the South Fork of the Kaweah River near the boundary of the Sierra Reserve,
along the lower canyon of the Middle Fork of Tule River, and at other points in the
lower Kaweah and Tule River canyons, the extreme southern limit being in T. 21
S., R. 30 E.

New Mexican locust (Robinia neo-mexicana] . — The local distribution of New Mexi-
can locust was recently worked out by F. J. Phillips in the Jemez (northern New

19

Mexico) and Lincoln reserves (southern New Mexico). A very important result of
this study is the discovery that the species occurs as a tree 12 inches through in
the Lincoln Reserve on the banks of streams and also on slopes, up to an altitude
of 9,700 feet. Previously it was not known to become a tree anywhere except on
the Purgatory River near Trinidad, Colo., and to ascend to a higher elevation than
about 7,000 feet.

OFFICE OF FOREST EXTENSION.

A conference of the men in charge of the reserve planting stations was held from
February 15 to March 28. All the details of nursery practice and field planting were
taken up and ideas exchanged as to the methods adapted to the various lines of work.
Conclusions, as far as reached, will be put on record and all of the work of the vari-
ous stations systematized as far as possible.

Field planting in the reserves of southern California has been finished for the sea-
son. A total of nearly 180,000 seedlings have been planted in the mountains under
very favorable conditions, since the rainfall has been unusually heavy. About 60,000
of these trees were set by the rangers and the possibilities of extending the planting
work through ranger planting are very great.

Through the courtesy of the Bureau of Plant Industry a section of one of their
greenhouses has been secured in which to make germination tests of tree seeds.
The work was started February 18 and will be continued until practical soil tests have
been made of all the seed planted in commercial quantities in reserved nurseries.
The aim is to secure a basis for nursery planting, since without these tests practically
nothing is known of the germinative energy of the seeds used. While greenhouse
tests, even in soil, are bound to be higher than in open nurseries, the tests will
closely enough indicate how thickly the seed should be planted.

The spring planting operations have begun in the Gila Reserve. Practically all of
the cooperative planting of cottonwood cuttings on the military reservation is com-
pleted and 2,000 western yellow pine have also been set out. An experimental
plantation of 10,000 trees is also being made on the Cameron Creek watershed within
the reserve. Since the rainy .season begins in July there is a plan to harden a few
thousand seedlings by reducing the water supply and set them in the field in late
summer. The Fort Bayard nursery will also furnish seedlings for experimental plant-
ing on several other reserves in the Southwest.

OFFICE OF FOREST PRODUCTS.

Central Office for Timber-Test Work.

In the past the timber-test work of the Service has consisted largely in the indi-
vidual work of the different laboratories. In order to establish closer relations
among the laboratories and to more thoroughly coordinate the work a central
office is to be established at Washington. This office will have general charge of
the work. It will contain complete files of all timber- test data and carry on general
studies. Two engineers, with a sufficient number of assistants, will have charge of
the work.

OFFICE OF RECORD.

Accounts.

Hereafter each remittance received by the special fiscal agent will be immedi-
ately acknowledged by form postal card, which will be sent from his office directly
to the depositor. This acknowledgment will read as follows: " Your remittance has
been received and a certificate of deposit will be sent you in due time," and is
intended merely to give the depositor the earliest possible notice that his remittance
has reached the special fiscal agent.

The original certificate of deposit will be mailed, as heretofore, to the supervisor.
Immediately upon its receipt the supervisor will please make the necessary entries
on his record cards and forward the certificate to the depositor. The certificate is
merely an acknowledgment of the remittance received, and does not in itself convey
any rights to the depositor. It is, therefore, unnecessary for the supervisor to retain
the certificate of deposit even where the amount remitted is incorrect, or in cases
where an additional deposit or a refund may become necessary.

Use of Form 143.

Supervisors and Acting Supervisors should report their own as well as their
assistants' services on Form 143, accompanied by the proper subvoucher. One form
is sufficient to report services of all assistants, even though engaged on different
reserves, but the subvoucher should show the name of the reserve on which the
member is actually serving. Form 2-a, subvoucher, is not designed for the statement
of a per diem allowance. Members who receive a per diem allowance in addition to
the regular monthly salary can use a Form 3 salary voucher (new series) to state
both the salary and per diem. When Form 3 is used in this manner, in lieu of
Form 2-a, it should be prepared, numbered, and attached to Form 143.
Memorandum for Supervisors.

The attention of Forest Supervisors is called to Regulation No. 7 of the Use Book.

A great deal of annoyance was caused last year by purchasers making remittances
by personal check or drafts on western banks, and by making them payable to
persons other than the Special Fiscal Agent. Supervisors should communicate
with bankers, postmasters, and express agents in the vicinity of their reserves, and
ask their cooperation in securing remittances in the form and manner required by
the regulation.

Impress upon purchasers the necessity of forwarding the form letters of trans-
mittal (861) with their remittance; otherwise the remittance has to be held until the
proper designation can be secured from the Supervisor.

23

Delay and inconvenience in making payments at the opening of the grazing season
might be avoided, in some cases, if Supervisors will advise postmasters of small
money-order offices of the probable demand for money orders, and ask them to se-
cure a sufficient number from the Department in advance. In a number of instances
last year depositors were put to considerable trouble and delay for the reason that
the supply became exhausted and could riot be readily replenished.

The Forest Service will be glad to cooperate in securing the establishment of
additional money-order offices in the vicinity of the reserves where needed.
Laborers.

The Civil Service Commission rules that the designation "Laborer" for people
who are temporarily employed in the field is not sufficient information to enable
that office properly to classify such employees. This term is now used generally by
officers in charge in rendering their accounts.

Accounts covering service of laborers must hereafter be accompanied by a state-
ment of the kind of labor performed. Officers in charge of reserves should insert
this information against the employee's name on Form 143 in the column of Remarks.
Officers and others not on the reserves will insert the information on Form A
voucher, when direct settlement is made, or on Form 4, reimbursement voucher.
Failure to specify the nature of employment on forms and vouchers will make it
necessary that they be returned or held at this office until the information is supplied.

Supplies.

Small articles are often placed, for safe carriage, in boxes containing stationery or
other supplies of similar character ordered on the same requisition. In checking
invoices careful examination should be made of all packages received before report
of shortage is made.

Several forest officers have reported recently that supplies shipped by freight have
not been received. Delays in the last two or three months have been largely due to
the unusually severe winter and the consequent snow blockade, and to the inability
of the railroads to handle shipments promptly, owing to the congestion of traffic
and the scarcity of freight cars. There has been complaint all over the country in
regard to these delays, and the Government has suffered equally with other ship-
pers. At the request of the Forest Service the depot quartermaster has in many
instances traced shipments made to forest officers and located them somewhere on
their way to destination. It is seldom, if ever, practicable to hurry freight ship-
ments. The remedy in the hands of forest officers is to allow for the delays inci-
dent to the season by making requisition in advance of their requirements.

In making requisition for letter-size transfer cases, for transferring correspondence
filed in section 3 of the standard filing case, forest officers should specify the kind of
loose-sheet indexes desired. Both alphabetical and special indexes are carried in
stock, and the kind needed should be mentioned for the guidance of the property
clerk.

OFFICE OF GRAZING.

The committee of stockmen appointed by the President to confer with the Public
Lands Commission for the purpose of recommending a plan for the control of grazing
on the vacant public lands of the West met in Washington on February 11.

After careful consideration of the subject a report was made to the President
recommending that the Secretary of Agriculture be authorized to organize grazing

24

districts to be administered under rules and regulations similar to those now in force
on the forest reserves, the lands to remain open to homestead settlement and all
other entry under the public land laws, and all permits or leases to be issued with
the understanding that the entry of land would act as a cancellation of the permit or
lease for the land so entered, bonafide settlers to be allowed to graze free of charge
stock used for necessary domestic purposes and to be given an equitable allotment of
range adjacent to their homes not later than the beginning of the next annual grazing
period.

When applications for grazing permits are approved, a duplicate of Form 762
should be sent to the Forester immediately, but a duplicate of Form 861 is not nec-
essary and should not be sent except when a demand is made upon a person for
trespass damages. In this latter event a duplicate of Form 861 should always be
forwarded.

It is important whenever any special action is taken in the approval of an appli-
cation or the issuance of a grazing permit that an explanatory note be made on the
lower left-hand corner of the duplicate notice, Form 762, for the information of the
Forester.

Applications should not be numbered until they have been acted upon, and those
which are disapproved should not be included in the numbered series.

In case the total number of any kind of stock applied for before the date which
has been set does not equal the number allotted to the reserve, applications received
subsequently may be approved until the total number authorized by the Secretary
of Agriculture has been reached.

OFFICE OF RESERVE ORGANIZATION.

Letters to the Forester.

It is not in accordance with Use Book Regulations for forest officers in the field to
address letters directly to the Forester. They should address the Forester only
through the officer in charge of the reserve to which they are assigned.

Badges.

The attention of forest officers is called "to the need for exercising greater care of
their badges. They are the official emblem of their authority, and should on no
account be lost.

Attention of the forest officers is called to the fact that telegrams relating to leave
of absence, salaries, and expense accounts are not official, and will be disallowed by
the Auditor in every case. They should be sent prepaid, and the replies by this
office will be sent collect.

A standard padlock of the highest quality has been adopted for use on the reserves
and may now be obtained on requisition. Since the locks are all fitted by the same
key requisitions should state the number of keys that will be needed.

SERVICE NOTES FOR MAY.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

LAW.

Mr. A. C. Shaw will visit the offices of many of the supervisors during the
summer season, to instruct and assist them in the preparation of case for trial
and in other legal matters. He will be at Denver, Colo., May 11 ; at Cheyenne,
Wyo., May 13 ; at Deadwood, S. Dak., May 17 ; at Leadville, Colo., May 22 ; at
Moffatt, Colo., May 25; at Santa Fe, N. Mex., May 28; at Capitan, N. Mex.,
.June 2 ; at Paradise, Ariz., June 8 ; at Susanville, Cal., after June 12, indefinitely.

This programme may be varied by Mr. Shaw as necessity demands, but he
will notify the supervisors of any change.

The Secretary of Agriculture has sustained the decision of the Forester,
dated August 2, which granted to the city of Manitou, Colo., the right to use
the bed of French Creek to carry the waters which had been legally appro-
priated for municipal uses. The Secretary's decision ended a long fight against
the city, and followed the decisions of the supreme court of the State of
Colorado, which recognized the right of appropriators of water to use every
convenience which nature has provided for transporting the water.

The General Laud Office has, upon the recommendation of the Forester,
ordered a hearing upon the alleged illegal mineral land claims of H. H. Yard
in the Plumas National Forest. This hearing will take place at Susanville,
Cal., probably in May or early in June, and will involve a claim to 18,000

acres of land.

The Forester has held, in a letter to the supervisor of the Grand Canyon
National Forest, that the Forest Service can not legally recognize any lease
made by the Territorial authorities for unsurveyed lands which it is claimed
will, when surveyed, become sections 16 and 36. The decision follows the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Heydenfeldt v. Daney Gold Mining
Company (93 U. S., 634) ; the decision of the Secretary in Barnhust v. State of
Utah (30 L. D., 314), and the State of South Dakota v. Riley (34 L. D., 657) ; and
holds also that the Territory is fully compensated for its loss under section
2275, United States Revised Statutes, as amended by the act of Congress of
February 28, 1891.

Hatton found it in the Bear Paw Mountains, Chouteau County (longitude 109°
30'), while Mr. Leiberg found it in 1903 in the Little Belt Mountains (longitude
110° 40') on the summits of Mixes Baldy, Yogo Peak, and on Neihart Baldy.
Messrs. Carter and Wessel discovered it in 1907 in T. 14 N., R. 8 E., northeast of
Neihart, from which point this Office has received specimens. In 1906 Mr.
Stickney observed it still farther south on the high peaks of the Big Belt
Mountains (longitude 111° 30').

Alpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa). — Until recently alpine fir has been known in
Alaska only east of the Coast Range as far north as the head of Lynn Canal
(latitude 59° 30') and Lake Bennett (latitude 60°, longitude 135°). Its abun-
dance here, however, led to the expectation that it would be found in the Yukon
Valley considerably farther northward and westward. George B. Sudworth.
recently recognized trees of this species in two excellent photographs taken by
F. C. Shrader and W. C. Mendenhall, of the U. S. Geological Survey, in the
Copper River country, which is 380 miles northwest of Lake Bennett. The
trees are scattered over the river bottom and lower mountain slopes of Copper
River at Copper Center (latitude 62°, longitude 145° 20') and in Mentasta Pass
between the Copper and Tanana drainage basins on the Copper River — Yukon
Railway line. These points are the farthest northwestward in North America
ever recorded for any species of fir. The nearest and most northern point of
occurrence, besides Lake Bennett, is on the North Fork of the McQuestion River,
a branch of Stewart River (latitude 64° 30', longitude 136°), which is 260 miles
to the northeast, where the tree was discovered by J. Keele, of the Canadian
Geological Survey in 1905.

The southern limits of Alpine fir in Idaho have been determined lately through
field notes of Dr. C. H. Merriam, Bureau of Biological Survey, G. E. Tower,
R. E. Benedict, W. T. Cox, H. P. Baker, C. E. Dunston, A. F. Boisen, J. B.
Bruins, E. H. Harefird, F. W. Reed, A. F. Potter, W. J. Gardner, and Smith
Riley. Beginning at the west, it has been reported from the Weiser, Payette,
Salmon River, Sawtooth, Lemhi, and Big Hole National Forests on the north of
Snake River, and from the Henry's Lake, Caribou, and Bear River National
forests on the south of Snake River. Southward in Utah it is known to occur
in all the mountains as far as the Sevier National Forest, but its distribution
in this part of the Great Basin is still imperfectly known, and it is hoped that
further and fuller reports will be made. J. B. Leiberg recently reported that in
southern Oregon it extends to the Umpqua-Rogue River divide and as far
south as the north side of the Siskiyou Mountains, an extension of about 60
miles.

White fir (Abies concolor). — The previously known range of this fir has been
recently extended into the high mountains of northern Utah, southern Idaho,
and northern Nevada through field notes of W. J. Gardner, A. F. Potter, F. W.
Reed, and Smith Riley, who have reported it from the Bear River and Raft
River National Forests, northern Utah and Southern Idaho ; from the Caribou
and Port Neuf National Forests, southeastern Idaho ; from Goose Creek, and

29

Shoshoue Mountains, Cassia County, southern Idaho, and from the Independence
National Forest, northern Nevada. Further and more detailed reports are
desired from these stations.

White fir has been reported provisionally in the Blue and Powder River
mountains, northeastern Oregon, but further observations or specimens are
required for confirmation. The northern limit of white fir in Colorado is also
still undetermined. Field notes of George B. Sudworth, S. B. Detwiler, J. H.
Ramskill, and J. G. Jack, of the Arnold Arboretum, have established its pres-
ence on the eastern slope of the front range as far north as Plum Creek, a
tributary of the South Platte River, and probably also in the Leadville National
Forest, but it is not known to have been observed in the Medicine Bow, Holy
Cross, Gunnison, Uncompahgre, nor Battlement Mesa National Forests, although
it is more or less common in the National Forests to the south. The only sta-
tion reported for this fir in the White River National Forest was found by
George B. Sudworth in 1898, on the western border of the reserve near Canyon
Creek, a tributary of the Grand River.

Amabilis fir (Abies amabilis). — There appears to be some confusion in regard
to what firs occur on the western slopes of the Coast Range of southern Alaska
and British Columbia. Abies amabilis and A. lasiocarpa are the only firs pos-
sible in that region. The alpine fir is apparently not found at all on the sea-
ward side of the Coast Range, nor on Vancouver Island, although it is abundant
on the eastern slope of the Coast Range and throughout the interior plateau of
British Columbia, while farther north it crosses White Pass and descends to
sea-level at Lynn Canal. Between this and Boca de Quadra Inlet no fir has
been found on the coast, and the species which extends thence southward on
the Coast is Abies amabilis. Whether or not it extends southward to the United
States on the seaward side of the Coast Range of northern British Columbia is
at present unknown, for records of it on Queen Charlotte Islands and for the
territory between Alaska and the northern end of Vancouver Island are want-
ing. It is common, however, on Vancouver Island and on the opposite main-
land.

Noble fir (Abies nobilis). — The actual southern limit of Abies nobilis, pre-
sumably not south of Oregon, is believed to be unknown at present. Browder
Ridge, in Lane County, on the headwaters of McKinzie River, a branch of the
Willamette River about halfway down the State, has heretofore been the
southmost point at which this tree has been observed. It may well be looked
for, however, as far south as the north line of California, since authentic speci-
mens, recently collected by A. E. Cohoon and Raphael Zon on the north side of
the Siskiyou Mountains in the Ashland National Forest, have been identified
in this office as Abies nobilis. Reports of it have been made previously at
Crater Lake and in the Cascades and Coast Mountains.

Alpine hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) . — The northern and western range of
Alpine hemlock in Alaska has been extended recently by W. A. Langille, and
by W. H. Osgood, of the Biological Survey. Mr. Langille found it in the upper
forest of the coast country from Lynn Canal westward to Prince Williams
Sound, where it descends to sea level, and thence from sea level to timber line
extends along the eastern shores of the Kenai Peninsula to Resurrection Bay
and across the Peninsula to Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet, being observed here
also by Mr. Osgood. In this locality it reaches its western and northern limits
in latitude 61° 10', longitude 150°, at the head of Yukla Creek on the north
slope of the divide between Turnagain Arm and Knik Arm.

In Washington the distribution of alpine hemlock is still imperfectly known
and requires further careful observations to clear up several doubtful points.
For example, it is abundant in the Olympic and Cascade mountains, but it

30

has not been reported in the high mountains of Okanogan and Stevens counties,
in the northeastern part of the State, although it appears in northern Idaho
and Montana and has been seen in the southeastern corner of Washington on a
single peak of the Blue Mountains, as well as near by in the Powder River
Mountains of Oregon. The most eastern occurrence reported is in the Cascade
Range of Washington, on an island in the Stehekin River about 5 miles above
Lake Chelan, where it was noted in 1900 by George B. Sudworth and in 1905 by

E. E. Carter.

In southern Oregon its range was extended in 1899 to the Siskiyou Moun-
tains by J. B. Leiberg, where it was observed also by W. T. Cox in 1903 and
by C. J. Buck in 1906, while in northern California its presence on the high
ranges between Shasta Valley and Butte Creek, north of Mount Shasta, was
recently discovered by R. T. Fisher. R. B. Wilson reported it in the Kla-
math National Forest in 1904. Nothing is known concerning its distribution
there, however, beyond the fact that it occurs on the Siskiyous and on the
range west of Crescent City, where it was reported by A. J. Johnson in 1898.
It is also known to occur in the Trinity Mountains, but so far only at the head
of Canyon Creek, where Miss Alice Eastwood found it in 1902.

In the Sierra Nevada alpine hemlock is known at only one place on the
eastern slopes, which is on the head of Owens River, a station discovered by

F. V. Coville in 1891. It may possibly be discovered at other points on the
east side, but it is doubtful. A very considerable and rather remarkable exten-
sion into the San Jacinto Mountains of southern California has been made re-
cently by George B. Sudworth, who recognized this tree in a photograph taken
by T. B. Lukens in 1900. The southern limit of alpine hemlock in the Sierras
is on the head of Bubbs Creek (latitude 36° 45') while the San Jacinto Moun-
tains are some 200 miles south of that point. The photograph shows a single
large tree on Wellman Flat (T. 5 S., R. 4 E.) at an elevation of 7,500 feet.
Doubtless other trees are to be found at this and other high places in these
mountains, in which it is hoped full observations can be made soon.

The occurrence of alpine hemlock in northern Idaho and Montana is very
limited. In Idaho it is known only in the Cceur d'Alene Mountains northward
to the divide between the North and the South Forks of Co?ur d'Alene River,
where it was noted by J. B. Leiberg in 1897, and in the Bitter Roots on the
divide between the North Fork of the Clearwater and the Lochsa River, being
found here also by Mr. Leiberg in 1900. In Montana only two small groves-
are known, one on an eastern spur of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, between
Thompson and Little Bitter Root Creeks, where it was seen by H. B. Ayres in
1893. The other station is on the west side of the Continental Divide at the
pass between the Swan and the Clearwater rivers, where Mr. Ayres found
it in 1899.

Alpine larch (Larix lyallii). — The little-known range of this larch has been
considerably extended southward in Montana through the recent observations
of W. G. Weigle, Coert Du Bois, and R. V. R. Reynolds. In 1905 Mr. Reynolds
noted it in the Missoula National Forest west of the Clearwater River, an
extension southwestward of about 30 miles from the southernmost station
previously known, which is near Pend d'Oreille Pass in the Lewis and Clark
National Forest. Mr. Du Bois observed it in 1904, and Mr. Weigle in 1906,
still farther south on the highest mountains of the Big Hole National Forest
Mr. Weigle, however, traced it southward to Mount Haggin (about 6 miles
southwest of Anaconda), a point at least 75 miles south of the previously
recorded southern limit.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Certificate of Publication —

Neglect on the part of forest officers in charge of National Forests to send to
the Forester Form 935, " Certificate of Publication," in Class C timber sales, as
required by " The Use Book," page 39, always causes delay in handling the
timber sales. This form properly filled in, and with a clipping of the adver-
tisement attached, should be sent to the Forester as soon as the first publi-
cation has appeared. Without this form it is impossible for the Washington
office to know upon what date the bids in each case should be opened.

Management Men Temporarily Assigned —

Technical men from the Office of Forest Management are temporarily as-
signed to assist forest supervisors on the National Forests in which the timber-
sale work is especially large and important. Such men are expected to assist
the supervisor by carrying on under his direction such work as the preliminary
examination and estimate of proposed sales, the marking of timber and the
instruction of local forest officers in timber marking, and to consult freely with
the supervisor regarding all phases of the technical timber work on his
National Forest. They should in no case be assigned to do rangers' work, such
as attending to grazing business, or examining agricultural and other claims.

As soon as the technical work requiring the presence of extra men from the
Office of Management has decreased, or is in condition to be handled by the
local forest officers alone, the supervisor should promptly report to the For-
ester, in order that the assistants may be directed* to proceed to some other
National Forest where their services are more urgently needed.

Assistant Lumbermen —

Assistant lumbermen are assigned temporarily to the National Forests where
the need for their work arises. While on a National Forest they are under the
direction of the supervisor, but their disposition will be controlled by the Wash-
ington office, and the supervisor should fully understand that they are subject
to transfer on very short notice from one Forest to another when the need for
their services elsewhere is urgent. But after the assignment of an assistant
lumberman to a National Forest, and until otherwise instructed by the Washing-
ton office, the supervisor should direct the movements of the assistant lumber-
man within his National Forest and should see that his services are utilized to
the best advantage.

Owing to the large number of existing sales where work is actually being
carried on their time, will be mainly occupied in supervising logging operations
and in check-scaling. It is expected that along these lines the assistant lumber-
men will be of great assistance to the local officers. Assistant lumbermen can
be used to advantage also in cruising and reporting on .tracts of timber for
which there is either an application or a chance of an early sale.

The assistant lumbermen should report fully on the scaling methods in
practice in any particular locality in which they are working, noting the
defects of the methods, and should recommend changes and improvements if
such are thought necessary.

32

The reports of assistant lumbermen should be addressed to the Forester and
transmitted through the supervisor, who should not hesitate to comment freely
on such reports.

Advertising Timber Sales —

It appears that in a number of cases supervisors have not taken the best
means for advertising contemplated timber sales. Care should be exercised in
recommending the paper best fitted to bring notices of sale before possible pur-
chasers, especially lumbermen, and efforts should be made in other ways to
give sales due publicity. When there are good chances for competitive bids and
in very large and important sales the notice of sale should be published in two
or more papers or lumber trade journals.

Forest officers should be very careful to follow the instructions given in
National Forest Order No. 18 in regard to the recommendation of newspapers
in which notices of sale are to appear. Unnecessary delay has occurred in a
number of sales from failure on the part of the officers in charge to recommend
newspapers when sending in applications and from their omitting to make the
further recommendations called for by the National Forest Order. In every
case the recommendations should give the exact name of the newspaper, its
place of publication, and the edition in which the notice of sale should be
inserted.

Reports of Timber Cut-
Forest officers should see that all values and totals are filled in completely in
all "Reports of Timber cut" (Form 820) submitted. When different species or
green and dead timber are sold at the same stumpage rate it is unnecessary to
keep separate scale records for each.

Free-Use Reports —

Free-Use reports for the year 1906 have all been received. They show that
15,071 permits were issued, covering 4,800,000 feet of green timber, 3,290,000
feet of dead timber, 6,982,000 feet of mixed material, 9,947 cords of green wood,
55,000 feet of dead wood, 35,000 feet of mixed, 6,700,000 poles, 375,000 posts.
The total valuation is $76,854.

It is very evident from the foregoing figures that the supervisors of the various
National Forests should discourage, so far as possible, the disposal of green
timber under the " free-use " privilege.

Error in April Field Program —

Attention is called to an error in the Field Program for April. In the dis-
cussion of the revised Form 820 it is stated : " It is intended that if a case is
ready for closing a negative answer under this paragraph is sufficient." The
mistake occurred in the use of the word " negative " instead of " affirmative."

Timber Sales in March —

During the month of March, 1907, a total of approximately 25,000,000 feet
of timber was applied for, valued at $81,700. One hundred and thirty-five mil-
lion feet of timber were actually sold, and in value amounted to $406,626. The
actual amount of timber cut was 11,390,000 feet, valued at $26,000. The latter

. 33

item shows that cutting operations on all National Forests are more or less at a
standstill on account of unfavorable weather conditions. The most important
sale of this month was that to the Greenlaw Lumber Company in the San
Francisco Mountains National Forest. The total amount of money to be paid
in this sale within five years is $315,000.

Timber Sale Contract Forms —

The new form of Timber Sale Contracts 202 — A and B, which supersedes
Form 821, has recently been issued, includes more regulations common to all
sales and more space to insert regulations necessary to meet special conditions.
It will save much of the time formerly used in drawing up contracts for large
sales. It is recommended that all supervisors hereafter use this form for all
Class B and C sales. Those having a supply of Form 821 may still use them for
Class A sales.

OFFICE OF FOREST EXTENSION.

Progress of the Germination Tests of Forest Tree Seeds —

The practical soil tests to determine the germination per cent of the forest
tree seeds that are to be planted this spring and the effect of different methods
of storage are progressing very satisfactorily.

In a number of the seed flats sown in the latter part of February com-
paratively few seeds germinated and these damped off soon after coming up,
whereas adjacent flats sown at a later date showed a normal germination per
cent.

This led to an investigation, which was conducted by Doctor Metcalf, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, who upon microscopical examination of a number of
the damped-off seedlings and ungerminated seeds found that, they were affected
by a very destructive and stubborn fungus, which was not known to be present
in the greenhouse or to prevent the germination of tree seeds.

A new test of the same species was undertaken at once with different soil and
the results have been very satisfactory. Over 50 per cent of the seeds have
germinated to date, and none have thus far given any indication of being af-
fected by a fungous disease.

It is to be hoped that a series of experiments may be undertaken in coopera-
tion with the Bureau of Plant Industry to ascertain whether or not the soil
treatment thus far found so satisfactory in preventing different seeds of farm
crops from being affected by a fungous disease will not apply also in the case
of forest-tree seeds.

Banger Station Diagrams —

Officers in charge are urged to exercise the utmost care in scanning all dia-
grams for Ranger Stations before they are sent in.

A great deal of the work submitted heretofore has been so wrongly made up
that it could not be used. In many cases it has been necessary to return such
diagrams for correction, entailing much extra correspondence and delay.

National Forest Order 23, Part 4, which was mailed April 27, tells exactly
how these diagrams are to be made up. The most ordinary errors are in not
using the tracing linen Form 878, and in not using India ink, though almost
every other conceivable evasion of the rules has been noted from time to time.

34

These istructions should be read carefully and followed strictly. They are
not very complicated, and every requirement in them is necessary to carry this
work on smoothly.

Especial attention is called to Paragraphs 34 and 35 of the new Order.

Dismal River National Forest —

On April 5 field planting was begun at the Halsey Planting Station on the
Dismal River National Forest. The weather has not been altogether favorable
for planting and unless more rain falls the percentage of failures will be large.
A force of forty men is employed in the planting work, and it is the plan to
plant nearly 500,000 trees in the Dismal River National Forest this season.
Some planting will also be done on the North Platte and Niobrara National
Forests.

Plantation of Eucalypts —

The commercial planting of eucalypts in California is receiving much atten-
tion at present. The number of inquiries received by this Office in regard to
these trees is constantly increasing, and many large plantations are being
established. In the past two weeks two California companies have begun
planting eucalypts ; one on an area of 2,600 acres, anpther on a 600-acre tract.

Hardy catalpa and black locust are being planted extensively in the East
and Middle West. A good example of the profits realized from such planting
was reported from Pawnee County, Nebr., where a 20-acre plantation of hardy
catalpa was made sixteen years ago. When cut this winter the actual yield
was 35,935 first-class posts and 17,349 second-class posts, and 690 8-16 feet posts
in addition to 214 cords of wood. The net proceeds per acre were $152.17.
Allowing 5 per cent compound interest on the investment, this gives an annual
cash rental of $6.24 per acre. A planting plan for an 800-acre locust plantation
in \Voods County, Okla., recently made by the Forest Service was put into effect-
last month.

Mount Helena Forest Park —

The planting in Mount Helena Park, near Helena, Mont, which was done
last October in accordance with the planting plan prepared by the Forest
Service in 1905, has shown the advisability of fall planting there. A recent
count shows that 92 per cent of the Douglas fir and 60 per cent of the yellow
pine have survived the winter and are in condition to make a good growth this
spring. The planting of last May was a total failure.

Cooperative State Nursery and Planting Experiments —

The plans for the nursery and planting experiments begun last year by the
Forest Service in cooperation with several State institutions are being vigorously
carried forward. The object of these experiments is to determine the species
best adapted to the different regions, and to test silvicultural methods of a
practical and scientific value.

At the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station near Fargo, and at
the substation of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station at North
Platte, the hardiness of a number of more valuable timber trees will be tested
and the advantages of wide and narrow spacing determined.

35

On the Saginaw Forest Farm, at Ann Arbor, Mich., the planting of 1-year-old
chestnut seedlings will be contrasted with the success of planting nuts in seed
spots. White pine and red oak plantations, 6 acres each, will be made to test
different spacings. sowing, fall and spring planting, the effect of planting on
plowed and nnplowed ground, and the effect of cultivation. These 6-acre blocks
will later be used as a basis for experiments in thinning.

_ At Higgins Lake the Michigan forestry commission will test various methods
of nursery practice and planting. They will also record, for comparison,
the cost of planting several species, when planting crews are organized
differently and the trees planted in different ways.

At Berea College, Kentucky, and at the Mississippi Agricultural Experiment
Station, the growing and planting of several species are being carried on to
determine the best methods of reforesting waste lands. Special attention will be
paid to the growing of hickory at these stations.

At Saranac Inn, the New York forest, fish, and game commission is cooperat-
ing with the Service in studying the best methods of growing conifers for
planting in the East. One phase of this work is the trial of introduced species.
Small quantities of Seed of Pinus cembra, Picca ajanensis, P. obovata, Abies
siMrica, Larix dahurica, and other native Siberian trees will be sown this
spring.

OFFICE OF SILVICS.

Books for Supervisors' Officers —

The first installment of books for the field libraries which are being estab-
lished in the offices of forest supervisors has been forwarded to these officers.
This installment consists of fourteen volumes of Government publications, as
follows :

Eight bound volumes of Forest Service publications.

Diseases of the Horse; Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.

Diseases of Cattle ; Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.

Manual for Army Cooks ; Subsistence Department, U. S. War Department.

Pack Transportation ; U. S. War Department.

Manual of Surveying Instructions ; U. S. General Land Office.

Miscellaneous Public Land Laws and Regulations ; U. S. General Land Office.

Besides these a set of general works on forestry is to be purchased for each
supervisor's office. Several of these books have already been received by the
Service library, and are being prepared for transmittal to the field. Members
of the Service are requested to submit to the librarian any suggestions as to
desirable books for this purpose.

The Fung-us Trametes pini —

Specimens of a fungus found by K. W. Woodward on living trees of western
white pine and western larch in the Lewis and Clark National Forest prove to
be Trametes pini. This fungus, which attacks nearly all the commercial coni-
fers of the United States and Europe, is more destructive to western white
pine than to larch, and is especially destructive to mature and overmature
timber. The spores enter most trees through wounds in the top, but in the
western white pine they enter near the base of the trunk. The fungus spreads

36

rapidly in the heartwood, with the grain, above and below the point of infec-
tion. The wood first becomes dark brown in color, and eventually white spots
appear, which increase in size until they fill the whole wood with a thin
white felt of mycelium. In trees like larch, with a distinct resinous summer-
wood, the fungus works in the springwood first, so that the summerwood
becomes separated in annual layers. When the internal decay has reached an
advanced stage, the fungus produces its fruiting bodies. These are brown
" conks " or " punks," which bear spores annually and sometimes attain an
age of 50 years. They do not appear on down timber.

In order to prevent the spread of fungus diseases in the National Forests
all merchantable infested timber should be marked for cutting, and efforts
should be made to secure the removal of badly decayed trees by " free use."

The exploitation of overmature timber and of trees that have been injured
will also lessen the risk of loss from this source.

Silvical Reports —

Through the silvical reports of technical assistants 'the Forest Service is now
supplied with more detailed information upon silvical conditions in thirty of
the National Forests than has hitherto been obtainable. Although the reports
were prepared on short notice, they contain many valuable data, which have
been copied and filed by silvical topics in the Section of Compilation. The
information thus gained will be used in compiling silvical descriptions of species
to be published in separate leaflets. It is also the intention to publish later a
set of leaflets descriptive of the forest conditions prevailing in individual
National Forests.

Reproduction on Cut-Over Land —

The Office of Silvics is about to undertake a study of logged-over areas. The
yellow pine and lodgepole pine types will probably be taken up first; and a
number of the older cuttings will be studied in order to determine what methods
of cutting are best adapted to secure successful reproduction and make the
torests as productive as possible.

BRANCH OF PRODUCTS UTILIZATION.

OFFICE OF WOOD.

Timber Tests —

For the past year the Yale timber-testing station of the Forest Service has
been carrying on experiments to determine the effect of different methods of
drying upon the strength of wood. It has been decided to include in this
investigation methods of drying which involve high temperatures and air at
high pressure, the pressure being used to prevent the water in the wood from
reaching its boiling point.

Statistics of Forest Products —

The statistics of forest products for the calendar year of 1906, which the
Forest Service and the Bureau of the Census have been collecting since Jan-
uary 1, are nearly complete and are being tabulated and compiled. The prin-
cipal item is, of course, sawed lumber, but in addition to this a census has been

37

taken to determine the .annual requirements made upon the forest for tele-
graph, telephone, electric light, and trolley poles, cross-ties, pulpwood, cooperage
stock, veneer stock, tan bark, and wood used for distillation.

Announcement of the total quantity of wood used in each industry will be
made public as soon as the tabulation is completed. The totals for lumber
Avill be shown by States. The final figures upon the lumber production of the
United States will be announced at the next meeting of the National Lumber
Manufacturers' Association at the Jamestown Exposition, May 28. On the
same date a preliminary bulletin summarizing the results will be placed in the
hands of the press.

Reports have been obtained from a much larger number of manufacturers
of lumber than last year, and the statistics will be correspondingly more ac-
curate and complete. Immediately following the compilation will begin the
preparation of detailed reports for each industry. It is expected that the
manuscripts will all be ready for the printer by July 1, 1907.

Map Notes —

The establishment of the new inspection districts has aroused a demand for
classification maps for the files of the inspectors, and six colorists have been
employed temporarily on the drafting force for the purpose of pushing forward
the work. The best base maps available at present will be used, and any which
are not satisfactory will be replaced later when better maps are obtainable.

A scheme of classification has been adopted for use on boundary diagrams,
and in the future the plats will show what the changes made by the proclama-
tion consist of in addition to showing the boundary established.

Centralization Timber-Test Computations —

The coordination of the timber-test work through the establishment of a
central office in Washington with complete files of data will be still further
carried out by having all the test results forwarded to Washington for working
up in the Computing Section. The scheme is for each laboratory to send- in
its data once or twice a week for prompt calculation. The result will be that
those in charge of tests will be relieved of the labor of routine calculating and
always have the results of their tests available to guide them in directing their
work.

Wood Uses-
Arrangements are being completed to make a study of the tanbark oak of
California. The work is to be done in cooperation with some of the leading
lumber companies and with the Office of Silvics. The purposes of the study will
be to obtain an estimate of the stand and to determine the best methods of
handling the timber and the uses for which it is most suitable.

At present a considerable quantity of this timber is cut for bark. The trees
are stripped and the wood is often left in the forest to decay.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

•

Cooperative Agreement —

An agreement has been entered into with the Board of Land Commissioners
of the State of Utah for the management of timber cutting and grazing upon
all State lands within the National Forests. The State reserves the right to
sell coal and farming lands, but agrees not to sell or lease any other class
of its lands during the term of the agreement. .The Forest Service will
assist the State in finding purchasers for its merchantable timber and will
manage the cutting and removal of logs from all State lands within the Na-
tional Forests. The State agrees that grazing on its lands shall be allowed
only under permits issued by the Forest Service, and that it will pay its pro-
portionate share of the administrative expenses on each National Forest by
allowing the Forest Service to collect grazing fees from the State lands for the
amount due. The surplus or net quota of grazing will then be sold by the
State, and grazing permits for the number of stock allowed will be issued by
the Forest Service upon presentation of certificates from the State Board of
Land Commissioners. The effect of this agreement is to put all State lands
within the National Forests of Utah under administration by the Forest
Service, who will protect and manage them under its rules and regulations.
This will greatly simplify the administration of the National Forests and with-
out doubt will result in great benefit to the State.

41

Sheep Dipping Regulations —

The Bureau of Animal Industry will make a strong effort to eradicate
the disease known as " scab " from the western ranges this summer, and
the Forest Service will cooperate in carrying out the plans for this work on
the National Forest ranges. All sheep which are to be grazed on the National
Forests within the States of Colorado, Utah. Nevada, and Oregon, and the
Territories of Arizona and New Mexico will be required to pass inspection,
and their owners must present a certificate from the Bureau of Animal Industry
before the stock will be allowed to enter upon the National Forest ranges. In
cases where the sheep are already upon the National Forest ranges or where
early dipping is impracticable, it will be wthin the discretion of the inspectors
of the Bureau of Animal Industry to allow the stock to remain, upon an agree-
ment signed by its owners to the effect that the sheep will be dipped after
lambing and shearing.

A large force of inspectors is now in the field, and every effort will be made
to carry on this work with as little inconvenience to the stockmen as possible;
but such rules as are necessary to insure its success must be rigidly enforced.
An efficient inspection and the dipping of all infected stock will result in great
benefit to the sheep owners by improving the condition of their stock and
increasing the future profits of their business.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

Change of Fiscal Agent —

Mr. (j. K. King. Fiscal Agent, having relieved Mr. James B. Adams, Special
Fiscal Agent, all remittances should be made payable to the former.

Suspensions or Disallowances — Form 99

Whenever a change is made on Form 1)9, due to suspensions or disallow-
ances from a supervisor's account, a duplicate will be prepared and forwarded
to the supervisor for his information, and the records of his office should be
( -hanged in accordance therewith.

Advance Payment Post-office Box Rent —

Under a recent decision of the Comptroller of the Treasury, prepayment of
rent for a post-office box by an officer of the Government for official use is not
required. (Comp. Dec., vol. 12. p. G8.) It is suggested that whenever pay-
ment in advance is demanded the attention of the postmaster be called to this
decision.

Form 98 or 99 with All Accounts —

Attention is again called to the requirement that Form 98 or Form 99 must
be attached to each Form 4 or Form A account submitted. Form 99 is required
for all accounts incurred in the administration of the National Forests and
Form 98 for expenses of forest investigations. The form covering an expense
account or Form A voucher should in all cases be attached to the voucher.

42

That covering salary should be mailed to the Fiscal Agent in a separate envelope
promptly at the close of each month, not before. Care should also be exercised
that the Office titles of all projects and studies are given exactly as furnished
by each Chief of Office. Failure to observe this will not only cause unnecessary
work in the Office of Accounts, but will endanger the accuracy of the cost-
keeping record. The projects to which transportation requests are to be charged
should be reported on the back of the form accompanying reimbursement
accounts. Calculations for salary reports are based on actual working days
during the month, exclusive of Sundays and holidays. For instance, if there
are twenty-five working days in a month, one twenty-fifth of the monthly salary
should be charged for each day's work.

The cost-keeping record is of much importance to the Forest Service in gen-
eral, and its efficiency depends almost wholly upon the care with which field men
make these reports on Forms 98 and 99. It is expected that every member of
the Service will cooperate to make this record as complete and accurate as
possible.

Certification in Advance —

It has come to the notice of the Fiscal Agent that the certificates to Form A
vouchers are in some instances signed by officers in charge before the signature
of the claimant to the receipt is obtained. Officers in charge should under no
circumstances certify to an account until the amount due has been entered and
the receipt signed by the party to whom the money is due. They should care-
fully examine all vouchers before submitting them for settlement, to detect any
irregularity in the charges or in the signature to the receipt. > The importance
of thorough familiarity with the Fiscal Regulations regarding the preparation
of accounts can not be too strongly urged upon officers in charge.

Use of long' Form A —

For purchase accounts of less than ten items the use of long Form A vouchers
should be discontinued and the short forms be used instead. A supply of the
short forms has been forwarded to all supervisors, and more can be secured
upon requisition.

New Form 99—

A revision of Form 99 has been printed and a supply forwarded to forest
officers. Full instructions regarding the distribution of expenditures among
the new headings (comprising twelve instead of six projects) are printed on the
back of each form. All salaries and expenses on account of Forests should be
distributed under the new headings, according to these instructions.

Latest Area Figures —

A new area and location table was issued April 1, showing the total area on
that date of National Forests in the United States, Alaska, and Porto Rico to
be 147,948,685 acres. Since April 1 proclamations have been issued enlarging the
following National Forests: "Big Burros, Gallinas, and Lincoln, in New Mexico;
Stony Creek, in California ; and Manti and Beaver, in Utah. The following new
National Forests have also been created : Toquima and Monitor, in Nevada, and
Guadalupe and Sacramento, in New Mexico. The total estimated area of all
National Forests in the United States, Alaska, and Porto Rico, up to and in-
cluding April 27, is 150,255,045 acres.

43

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Clerks—

As tbe services of a clerk (stenographer and typewriter) are necessary in
many of tbe offices of the Supervisors, the Civil Service Commission has con-
sented to hold examinations for this position in the Western States having
National Forests. These examinations will probably be held some time in May.
If it becomes necessary to employ a clerk before civil-service eligibles are avail-
able, they may be temporarily employed or appointed.

Transfers of Rangers and Guards —

Officers in charge of more than one National Forest are allowed to transfer
their Rangers and Guards from one Forest to another when the occasion de-
mands, but the Forester should in every case be notified at once, so that the sal-
ary of the man may be charged to the National Forest on which he is really
working. In the past some confusion hp.s resulted from failure on the part of
officers in charge to notify the Forester.

Marking Hatchets —

Upon the urgent recommendation of the expert lumberman, who insists that
a long handle put into the marking hatchet makes it as effective an implement
as the marking ax, it has been decided to buy no more marking axes. Those
who have use for a marking ax are requested to try using a long-handled mark-
ing hatchet, and to report the fact if it is not thoroughly satisfactory.

The efforts of the Instrument Committee to standardize the field equipment will
be greatly helped if all who have had experience with the marking ax will
report their opinions of it.

Engineering Notes —

Mr. W. E. Herring, Constructing Engineer, has returned from a two weeks'
trip to Salt Lake City and Denver, where he was in consultation with three
leading telephone companies in that section of the country in regard to contracts
for special rates over their lines, flat rates for instruments at the various
exchanges, and other concessions of a like nature.

As rapidly as the detailed estimates for permanent improvements are
received from the supervisors they are being checked over, and the construction
of the work is being authorized as necessity warrants. Numerous requests
have been received from the supervisors, but in many cases they have not been
in detail, and for this reason it has been necessary to delay action on their
requests until detailed estimates have been returned. It is expected that
within the next two weeks several hundred miles of telephone line will be
authorized, and the work will be started at the earliest possible moment.

44

Use of Compasses —

From the number of pocket sight compasses turned in as useless, with nothing
the matter with them excepted a shifted dial, it is evident that forest officers in
general are not aware that the pocket sight compasses with silvered dials are
take-down, interchangeable affairs whose parts can be assembled' and disas-
sembled witho.ut need for any tools besides a knife.

The dials are purposely left unfastened to the bottom of the case so that they
can be adjusted when necessary to any magnetic variation.

All that is necessary to open one of these compasses is to insert the point of a
knife blade under the ring which holds the crystal in and spring the ring out.
The band ring on which the crystal rests can be raised or lifted out entirely if
the dial is to be shifted or removed.

This take-down feature of these compasses is of considerable value should
water or dust get into them. Also in case accidents should happen to all the
compasses in the party enough usable parts might be assembled to make a few
workable ones.

If the needle acts sluggishly and it is possible that dirt is the cause, open the
compass and scrape the pin on which the needle rests and turn about in the
jewel a sharpened piece of soft wood.
Authorization for Advertising —

On January 14 the Comptroller of the Treasury rendered a decision to the
Secretary of Agriculture which will make it possible to issue to officers in charge
letters of authorization covering advertising. Officers in charge will be re-
quested to submit the names of the papers in the vicinity of their National
Forests in which they will be likely to advertise during the coming year, and
upon the receipt of this list letters of authorization will be issued which will
allow advertising without the trouble and delay of securing authority from the
Washingon office.

Information to Field Men.

APRIL 12, 14)07.

At present the field officers are largely left in ignorance of action taken in the
Washington office which concerns their work, or are very tardily informed. It is
<-t the greatest importance that they be informed in every single case with
promptness and in detail. Important matters should be communicated by wire.
They should receive without fail carbon copies of all letters involving action
which directly or indirectly affects their work, and special notice in every case
when carbon copies will not give full information. Close attention to this mat-
ter is absolutely essential to good administration.

The Office of Publication is responsible to the Forester for formulating and
executing the general policy of the Service in its use of publications. This
involves decision as to the distribution which should be given each publication,
direction of and responsibility for the plans under which the Service publica-
tions mailing lists are made up and maintained, and supervision of the general
policy which covers the filling of requests for publications.

The routine operations in the maintenance and use of the publications mail-

Unpublished Manuscripts and Reports.

APRIL 30, 1907.

There are a great many manuscripts on file in the various offices of the
Service containing much valuable information which could be used to advantage
by the members of the Service in carrying on further investigations or in writing
up reports, but which are at present known to only a few. In order to make
all the information possessed by the Service available, these manuscripts should
be indexed in the library under the system followed with published works.
For this reason all Offices are directed to furnish to the Librarian lists of
the authors and titles of all reports of members and collaborators of the Service

(45)

47

whirli are now in their tiles, and of new ones as they are received. It will then
be the duty of the Librarian, under the direction of the Chief of the Office of
Silvics and with the cooperation of the Office which furnishes the report, to
prepare an analytical index of the information contained except for matter
confidential in character or pertaining merely to routine work. In this way
reference to all the forest literature in the Service, whether published or un-
published, will be brought together in one index, and the work of members
engaged in locking up special subjects will be greatly reduced.

NATIONAL FOREST ORDER 33.

(Supersedes Forest Reserve Order No. 7.)

APRIL 13, 1907.
Examination of Mining Claims.

To Forest Officers in Charge:

When it becomes necessary under the special instructions on page 21 of The
Use Book to make a special examination and report upon a mineral land claim
within a National Forest, the forest officer should observe the following pro-
visions :

If active mining operations are being conducted on the claim and ore is
being marketed and the general outlook indicates a bona fide mine, a close
examination for mineral values or indications will not be necessary. The forest
officer should, in such cases, report the facts generally after going through the
mine.

Where the validity of the discovery is doubtful, a more careful examination
should be made. It should be remembered that it is not necessary that the
claim should be a paying mine. If valuable mineral has been found and the
nature of its occurrence would justify exploitation or working of the ground for
mineral, the discovery would be a legal and valid one.

To determine whether or not such a discovery has been made the forest
officer should proceed as follows :

(a) In case of lode claims:

1. He should examine the dimensions of the outcropping of the vein or lode
on the ground and note the general character of the rock in which the deposit
is contained.

2. He should search for discovery shafts, pits, or tunnels which the owner
has made in an effort to find or disclose the vein and ore. He should make
notes of the appearance and extent of the vein or ore exposed in the excava-
tions, and should particularly note whether there is a distinct deposit of
valuable ore or minerals, or whether, for example, there is merely some mineral
like iron pyrites distributed in slight amount throughout the rock of the claim.

3. He should measure the width of the vein or filling between the rock walls
or the thickness of the mineralized zone of rock exposed in the excavations,
and should observe the dip — that is, the angle of inclination downward from
the horizontal — of the vein or mineralized rock, as well as the strike or course

• of the vein, noting the latter as N., NW., etc.

4. He should take a sample of each important grade of ore found in the ex-
cavation or in any vein on the claim and observe the proportion of each kind
of ore. He should then select a sample consisting of a number of pieces which,
in his opinion, represents the average value of the vein or mineralized rock,

(51)

53

being careful that these samples are taken from the vein that is being opened
up, and have not been brought from elsewhere. These samples need not weigh
more than 1 to 3 pounds each ; they should be carefully wrapped and the
wrapper labeled with the name and location of the claim, the name and address
of the claimant and of the officer examining the claim, the date of the exami-
nation, and each package should be numbered, the number being also entered
in the field notebook.

5. Notes should be made at once and the samples should be referred to in the
notes by number, description, color, and name, if known, of the rock containing
the mineral. This will assist the officer in making his report.

6. The samples of ore after being wrapped and the package after being
labeled should be stored, if possible, under lock and key.

7. Immediately upon being notified that a hearing has been ordered upon
the claim by the .Commissioner of the General Land Office, the Supervisor
should send the samples by express, charges prepaid, to the assayer of the
mint at Denver, Colo., Deadwood, S. Dak., Carson City, Nev., or Seattle, Wash.,
whichever city may be most easily accessible to his Forest, or to such other
address as may be supplied hereafter. The charge for expressage, supported by
the proper subvoucher, should be submitted in the Supervisor's next expense
account, charging it to the allotment for protection. The Supervisor should
inform the assayer by letter of the shipment, give the same description of the
samples used upon the label, request him to make the assay and give an
assay certificate for the use of the Forest Service, and inform him, if possible,
on what date the certificate will be used.

(&) In placer claims:

The forest officer should search for the discovery shaft, pit, or tunnel which
the owner may have made for discovery of minerals ; pan some of the dirt in
each of them, and record the results. Several pannings should be made in each
excavation. »•

He should endeavor to discover the claimed nature of the alleged placer de-
posit and should, if possible, verify or dispute this theory by his report, giving
his reasons.

(c) In both classes of claims :

1. The general character of the country should be stated and the distance
from paying mines ascertained. The entire tract embraced in the claim should
be examined for mineral indications.

2. The method of possible work of the claim, as well as water power and
transportation facilities, should be ascertained when possible.

3. In selecting the dirt for panning or ore for samples the officer should rely
upon his own judgment, considering, but not necessarily following, the sugges-
tion of the. claimant. Special care should be taken to avoid imposition or
salting.

4. Answers should be given, whenever possible, to each question on Form 654.
It contains spaces on which the information secured under this order may gen-
erally be reported, but if more space is needed an additional sheet may be used
and attached to the form. The answer to question 30 of the form should show
whether the claim is used for any purpose other than mining and in what man-
ner. Reports should be made separately on each claim of a group, and when
work on one claim is alleged to develop others the extent and plan of develop-
ment with relation to each should be shown.

5. Pans, hammers, picks, and crowbars are considered forest equipment where
needed under this order and may be purchased.

6. If the field force on the Forest have not the requisite scientific and practical
knowledge, mineral experts will be sent to make a special examination in cases

55

which are believed to be fraudulent, especially if they involve large areas of
land, and seriously jeopardize National Forest interests or prevent the proper
management and protection of the Forests.

7. Definite evidence by qualified witnesses is necessary to sustain charges
against any claim that is considered fraudulent.

8. Good judgment, care, and initiative on the part of the forest officer to add
to or vary, for proper reason to be explained by him, the nature of the report
will add greatly to its value and assist materially in the protection of legiti-
mate mining and of the interests of the United States by preventing fraudulent
appropriation of iioninineral land under the guise of compliance with the min-
eral-land laws.

NATIONAL FOREST ORDER 34.
Special Use Permits upon Land Applied for under the Act of June 11, 1906.

APRIL 13, 1907.
To Forest Officers in Charge:

Squatters who settled on National Forest land before its withdrawal and
are awaiting survey to make entry, have the same rights to occupy and enjoy
their holdings under Regulation 1 (The Use Book, p. 20) as homestead entryuien,
and may at their option await survey or apply for the examination of their
lands under the act of June 11, 1906, with a view to opening them to home-
stead entry.

Persons who settled in trespass before January 1, 1906, and have not aban-
doned their claims, may, if qualified, take advantage of the act of June 11, 1906,
and in the meantime may occupy and enjoy their holdings without permit.
Other applicants under the act of June 11, 1906, who appear to have the prefer-
ence right of entry under that act, may secure, without charge, a permit for the
agricultural use of so much of the land applied for as, in the opinion of the
supervisor, is chiefly valuable for agriculture, provided that the land is not
adversely claimed under settlement made before its withdrawal, or after its
withdrawal and before January 1, 1906. Land covered with a stand of
merchantable timber should not be considered chiefly valuable for agriculture
under this paragraph.

The Forester will send to the Supervisor of each Forest monthly lists of
applications under the act of June 11, 1906, in such form as to show who appears
to have the preference right of entry. Upon receipt of such lists the Supervisor
should notify the applicant appearing to have the preference right of entry, if
the land is considered to be chiefly valuable for agriculture and is not ad-
versely claimed under settlement as above defined, that upon request a special
permit will be granted to him without charge to occupy and use the land for
agricultural purposes. Supervisors who have hitherto received notices of
applications should immediately take this action without waiting for the first
monthly list.

Upon the receipt of such request please prepare a special-privilege applica-
tion on Form 832 and send it to the applicant for signature and return to you
for action in the usual manner under the special-privilege regulations.

Please incorporate in each permit the following paragraph :

In the examination of the land under the act of June 11, 1906, to determine
its agricultural character this permit shall not be considered; neither shall it
be construed to give the permittee any preference right of entry under that
act. This permit shall terminate when the land is opened to entry under that

57

act ; but if it is shown that the permittee has not the preference right of entry,
the listing of the land for opening to entry will be deferred by the Secretary of
Agriculture to protect growing crops.

Applications for listing will not be affected by this order.

NATIONAL FOREST ORDER 35.
Disposal of Timber on Valid Mining and Other Land Claims.

APRIL 30, 1907.

To Forest Officers in Charge:

The question whether the Government has or has not the right to sell timber
from a mining or other valid land claim upon which final proof has not yet been
made has never been settled in the courts. When a claimant is actually occu-
pying and developing his claim, the timber should not be disposed of by the
Forest Service. If, however, any claimant is not actively using his claim,
forest officers should not hesitate to allow, either under sale or " free use," the
cutting and removal of dead, down, diseased, or insect-infested timber, espe-
cially when they consider such timber a danger to the Forest. If the danger is
great, it should be reported to the Forester even though the claim is actively
used.

No attempt shou-ld be made to sell the sound standing green timber upon
unperfected valid mining or other claims, whether they are being actively used
or not.

The Forest Service has the undoubted right to sell any timber upon a land
claim to the rightful claimant for any use whatever. This is so for two rea-
sons: (1) On the supposition that the legal title to the timber remains in the
Government until patent issues; (2) because nobody except the claimant has
the right to object to such a sale or question its legality, and by the purchase
he waives all objections. For the same reasons such a sale may be made to a
third party, with the consent of the rightful claimant, which should be in
writing and filed with the other papers in the case.

NATIONAL FOREST ORDER 36.
Extension of Time in Classes A and B Timber Sales.

APRIL 30, 1907.
To Forest Officers in Charge:

Supervisors may, without application to the Forester, extend the time allowed
for the cutting and removal of timber in timber sales of Class A and Class B.
Extensions of time should be granted only to prevent hardship in cases where
unavoidable delay has occurred, and the Forester should be notified at once
in each case.

NATIONAL FOREST ORDER 37.
Timber Trespass on Land Afterwards Included in a National Forest.

(Amends National Forest Order 29.)

APRIL 30, 1907.

The Commissioner of the General Land Office has instructed Special Agents
to transfer to Forest Supervisors all cases of unlawful timber cutting on lands
afterwards included in a National Forest. The Supervisor will therefore
report on Form 856 all cases so transferred, and also other recent cases of such
unlawful cutting, whether the timber was removed outside the boundary of the
Forest or to patented land before the Forest was created, or not, and such
timber may be seized wherever found. If it was so removed, the fact should
be stated in the report.

It is not the duty of the Supervisor, however, to engage in active investigation
and prosecution of very old cases, unless in his judgment such prosecution is
necessary for the future protection of the National Forests.

SERVICE NOTES FOR JUNE.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

Revised "Use Book" —

The revised edition of "The Use Book," containing the new regulations which go
into effect July 1, 1907, will be in the hands of supervisors by June 20. Supervisors
will be expected to familiarize themselves with the changed and added regulations
before these go into effect.

Itinerary of Mr. Shaw —

Mr. A. 0. Shaw wTill visit the supervisors at the following places and times to
instruct them in the preparation of cases for trial and in other legal matters:

Phoenix, Ariz., June 10; Prescott, Ariz., June 11; Durango, Colo., June 13;
Weiser, Itlaho, June 20; Helena, Mont,, June 24; Sumas, Wash., June 28; Portland,
Oreg., June 30; Susanville, Cal., after July 5, indefinitely. This program may be
varied by Mr. Shaw as necessity demands, but he will notify the supervisors of any
change.

The Forester on the pardon of Everett B. Thomas-
Concerning petitions for the pardon of former Forest Supervisor Everett B. Thomas,
who was convicted about a year ago of falsification of his accounts, the following
letter was written by the Forester:

APRIL 29, 1907.
Mr. YV.M. <i. KEREKHOI F,

634 Pacific Electric KuUri'my, Los Angeles, Oil.

DEAR Mr, KEREKHOFF: Your letter and the papers transmitted by you concerning the
pardon of former Forest Supervisor Everett B. Thomas have been carefully considered.
The statements made in some of the papers of Mr. Thomas's conduct, and the rea-
sons given for his pardon, are so erroneous that I must refer to them in some detail.

1. Mr. Thomas was not a good forest officer. The investigation which led to his
conviction showed that, although he reported frequent visits to the field, as a matter
of fact he almost never set foot upon the National Forests intrusted to his care.

2. The amount involved in his frauds was not small, but large. The ten counts
upon which he was convicted were but a small percentage of the number of false
entries which could have been proven against him if it had been considered neces-
sary. He was not only technically guilty of petty falsifications, but actually guilty
of systematic and long-continued falsifications.

3. I know of no ground whatever for the assertion that thje moneys fraudulently
collected by him were made up by expenditures in the interests of the Government
in other directions.

4. The proceedings against him were not in any sense persecution, nor were they
conducted in an unfair spirit, nor did they have any relation whatever to any political
feud in which Mr. Thomas was on the losing side. They were instituted solely for
the purpose of punishing a Government officer who had, not in small but in large
matters, proved himself false to his trust, and to prevent like conduct on the part of
other public officers.

If I believed that his pardon would be understood as tardy justice to a persecuted
man, or taken by any considerable number of people as a vindication of his conduct,

(25)

26

I should be constrained to oppose it. But not so believing, the papers, with a copy
of this letter, have been transmitted to the Department of Justice with the recom-
mendation that the pardon be granted. I do this because I think that Mr. Thomas
has been sufficiently punished to deter him or other public officers from committing
like serious offenses, and because his family needs his support, and not because I
think he was in any sense ill-treated or punished beyond his deserts.

I am also sending a copy of this letter to each person whose letters and petitions
were forwarded to me by you.
Very sincerely, yours,

(Signed) GIFFORD PIXCHOT, Forester.

Progress of Appalachian Survey—

W. W. Ashe has begun in northern Georgia to draw the boundaries of the lands
which should be reserved in the southern Appalachian Mountains. This work is
being done under the provision included in the Agricultural appropriation act of the
last Congress, which provides that the Secretary of Agriculture shall make a careful
study of the Appalachian Mountains and report to the next Congress what areas it
is important to reserve for forest purposes. The work begun by Mr. Ashe will be
continued through all the important portions of the Appalachian Mountains.

Unique Educational Campaign for Forestry —

Representative R. P. Hobson, of Alabama, has just carried through a unique
educational campaign which has resulted in great good for forestry. Captain Hobson
secured representatives from four bureaus of the Department of Agriculture, and
accompanied them on a tour of his district, speaking on agricultural subjects, to
audiences averaging about 350 persons, at 20 different points. The representative
from the Forest Service was William L. Hall, Assistant Forester, who found great
interest on the part of land owners in proper methods of handling their timber-
lands. Two hundred and five applications for woodlot examinations were received
as a result of this work.

DENDROLOGY.

Notes on the Distribution of Trees.

[Except when otherwise stated, it is to be understood that observers whose names are given in these
notes are members of the Forest Service. Credit is due Miss Mary C. Gannett for assistance in the
preparation of these notes from various records. — GEO. B. 8.]

Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana). — This species was recently discovered by W. J.
Ward at points about 5 miles from the sea in the Coast Range of southern Oregon
(Curry County; Sec. 2, T. 38 S., R. 14 W., Sec. 35, T. 37 S., R. 14 W.; elevation,
approximately 1,700 feet). Hitherto, sugar pine has not been found in Oregon west
of the Siskiyous.

Eastern Larch (Larix laricina). — A new station for the eastern larch, said to have
been found by G. C. Bettles in the Yukon Valley, was recently reported by F. C.
Schrader, of the U. S. Geological Survey. Mr. Bettles, a pioneer of the region,
reported seeing this tree on the middle Koyukuk on and above the Arctic Circle
(about latitude 68° W to latitude 67°), the farthest north and west it has ever been
observed.

White xpruce (Picea canadensis). — The range of white spruce has been considerably
extended in Alaska through recent explorations by members of the Forest Service

27

and the U. S. Geological Survey. W. A. Langille and W. H. Osgood, of the Bio-
logical Survey, found that it extends from the interior forest around the low base of
the unforested Alaskan peninsula to the Pacific coast slopes at Cook's Inlet, there
meeting the Sitka spruce, alpine hemlock, and a few other west coast species which
come northward from Washington and Oregon along the Alaskan coast. It was
found by members of the U. S. Geological Survey to occur also in the upper basins
of the Sushitna and Copper rivers, possibly reaching these basins from the heads of
the Tanana River by way of low passes in the Alaska Range. It has long been con-
jectured that white spruce occurs on many of the arctic rivers of Alaska for the rea-
son that driftwood, apparently of this species, is common about their mouths.
White spruce has, however, been observed only on the Turner River, just west of
the international boundary, where it was seen in 1890 by J. H. Turner, and recently
by S. J. Marsh, a prospector, whose observations were reported in 1906 by A. H.
Brooks of the U. S. Geological Survey. In this locality it extends to within 30
miles of the mouth of Turner River and nearly to latitude 69° 30X, the northmost
limit now known for it.

White spruce occurs in the Black Hills, South Dakota, and in the Rocky Moun-
tains from the head of the Saskatchewan River, Canada, southward into northern
Montana. Here II . B. Ayres reported it in 1899 and 1900 as far south as the South
Fork of Teton Creek (latitude 47° 50'), on Summit Creek, in valleys of the White-
fish Mountains, and westward on upper Still water, Edna, and Fortin creeks, while
S. J. Holsinger noted it in 1903, and R. V. R. Reynolds in 1906, as occasional in the
Kootenai River and Cabinet Mountains regions, still farther westward. Karl W.
Woodward has just sent in specimens of this spruce from Swan Lake, Montana.

Black X/>rure ( I'icea nntr'nnm}. — The black spruce follows the white spruce through-
out its northern range in Alaska. Much is yet to be learned regarding the exact dis-
tribution of these trees in Alaska, where both are somewhat changed in distinctive
features from their far eastern representatives. Small numbers of black spruce were
observed in 1900 by W. H. Osgood in peat bogs at Hope, Sunrise, and Tyonek on the
Cook's Inlet coast, and in 1903 W. A. Langille detected it in swamps on the plateau
of Kenai Peninsula, especially on Chicaloon Flats.

nine Spi'i«r ( riri'n iHti-ryana). — The range of blue spruce has for some time been
thought to be confined to Colorado, eastern Utah, and the Wind River Mountains,
Wyoming, but recent reports have extended the range to parts of southern Montana,
New Mexico, Arizona, and to other sections of Wyoming. J. H. Hatton noted its
quite general occurrence in the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico, on streams and in
moist places at an elevation of from 8,500 to 10,500 feet, as did also Prof. E. L.
Givene, of the Catholic University, in 1901 at Chama, Rio Arriba County, near the
border between Colorado and New Mexico. In 1898 Professor Norton and C. H. T.
Townsend saw it on Sierra Blanca Peak, Lincoln National Forest, while W. R. Mat-
toon and A. O. Waha found it on flats of streams at an elevation of from 7,000 to
9,000 feet, near the summits of the Mogollon Mountains, in the Gila National Forest.
Mr. Mattoon reported it recently as occurring also in the Mount Graham National
Forest at 9,500 feet elevation on the banks of streams near upper Columbine Camp at
the head of Ash Creek Canyon.

The following observations have been made of this tree outside of the Wind River
Mountains, Wyoming. P. A. Rydberg (not of the Forest Service), in 1900, and J.
Wiesner, an Austrian botanist, in 1905, found it fairly common in the Yellowstone
Park at elevations of about 6,500 to 8,000 feet. G. H. Cecil reported it from the
Shoshone Mountains as occurring above 6,000 feet, and P. T. Coolidge reported it in
small numbers from the Bighorn Mountains above 6,000 feet, throughout the National
Forest. Reports of blue spruce in Montana include records by J. H. Hatton and
M. N. Stickney of occasional trees along streams in the Big Belt and Rimini moun-
tains, from elevations of 5,000 feet and upward, and a record by M. N. Stickney of

28

trees in gulches of the Helena National Forest, Blue spruce has also been reported
from the ranges of southern Idaho (Sawtooth Mountains), and from eastern Wash-
ington and Oregon, but these stations are yet to be verified.

Weeping Spruce (Picea breweriana) . — P. T. Harris has just reported finding weep-
ing spruce on the head of Parks Creek, a tributary of Shasta River (T. 41 N., R. 6
W). This new locality is west of Mount Shasta on the Trinity-Shasta River divide,
and is approximately the region in which Prof. W. H. Brewer discovered weeping
spruce in 1863. The partial confirmation which Mr. Harris's discovery gives of
Professor Brewer's report, so long unverified, is of unusual interest. G. A. Coleman
and others report that groves of it are said to occur on the northern and eastern
sides of Mount Shasta, and it is hoped that these reports may soon be verified.

Alpine Hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) . — S. N. L. Ellis reported three additional sta-
tions for this species in May, 1907, on the eastern slopes of the California Sierras. It
is quite common in Green Creek, Mono County (T. 2 N., R. 24 E. ), and near White
Mountain at the head of Silver King Creek (T. 7.N., R. 22 E.), points well down
the slopes of the mountains, while it was found in T. 8 N., R. 20 E., on the road
from Big Tree to Carson, Nev. A single -grove was found in February, 1907, by
P. B. Kenneday (not of the Forest Service) on the east side of the Sierras, above
Reno, Nev., on a north slope.

Lowland Fir (Abies grandis). — W. H. Kempfer has just reported, with specimens
for verification, lowland fir at Plains, Montana, on Clarkes Fork of the Columbia
River, north of the mouth of the Missoula River. This is another new point for
the southern range of lowland fir in Montana. Karl W. Woodward finds this fir
about Swan Lake, Montana, from which he has recently sent specimens, together
with those of Pinus monticola, P. murrayana, Picea canadensis, Pseudotsuga taxifolia,
Juniperus scopulorum, J. communis, Betula papyri/era, and Populus trichocarpa.

Macnab Cypress ( Cupressus macnabiana}. — A new intervening locality was discovered
for this tree in April, 1907, between the Lassen Butte National Forest stations and
the western end of the Siskiyou Mountains. P. T. Harris, who brought specimens
for identification, found the grove at a point about 15 miles north of Mount Shasta,
near Little Shasta River (Sec. 14, T. 45 N., R. 4 W. ), where, he says, the cypress grows
to a height of from 6 to 20 feet on " bare lava rocks, in pure stand, in dense thickets,
and in an open stand." This report verifies in part the prediction that Macnab
cypress would be discovered at a number of stations between the distant ones already
established.

Port Or ford Cedar (Chanisecyparis lawsoniana). — The range of this cedar is confined
mainly to a narrow belt on the seaward side of the coast ranges of southern Oregon
and northern California. It now seems probable that it extends eastward from its
principal range in many isolated stations. A few such localities are known for it,
such as one near Waldo, Josephine County, in the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon. In
1899 a small grove was observed by M. C. Gannett on the headwaters of the Sacra-
mento River, near Sisson, at an elevation of about 3,500 feet. One grove was re-
cently seen also by P. T. Harris at the head of Halls Gulch (T. 37 N., R. 6 W.), a
tributary of the East Fork of Trinity River, and other groves were found by him
around Trinity Center at from 3,300 to 4,300 feet elevation.

Black Cottonvood (Populus trichocarpa). — The range of black cotton wood in Mon-
tana is still imperfectly known. Careful observations and specimens are needed to
establish its exact occurrence in this region. It is known to exist in a few places
only in the northern mountains, including Swan Lake, a station east of Flathead
Lake, from which Karl W. Woodward has just sent a specimen.

Balm-of-Gilead ( Populus balsamifera) . — The southern limit of this poplar in Montana
and Idaho has not yet been determined. It is mainly an eastern species which, in
the mountain valleys of both States, occurs with the narrow-leaf and black poplars,
while in Montana it extends eastward to the Little Rocky* Mountains, probably also

29

to the Bighorns and southward as far as Bozeman and the Big Hole River. Its
occurrence farther south, however, in the more western mountains and on the east-
ern lowlands of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers is extremely doubtful. It has
been observed in the northern mountains of Idaho, and possibly it extends to the
ranges north of the Snake River Valley, yet positive proof of its occurrence there is
lacking, as are also definite records for it in Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, from
which it has been reported.

Long supposed to exist in the coast region of Alaska and the valley of Mackenzie
River, balm-of-gilead has, through recent explorations of W. A. Langille and W. H.
Osgood, of the Biological Survey, been discovered in the coast of Alaska at Cook's
Inlet, to which it comes, from the Bering Sea forest, across the low base of the
Alaskan" Peninsula, They found it also on the north end of Kadiak Island and near
the passes at the head of Lynn Canal. It should be looked for carefully along
the seaward side of the coast ranges, where it has possibly been confused with
J'<)i,n/tix ti-irhnrnrj):i. Its northern range was lately extended above the Yukon
Valley through field investigations of W. J. Peters and F. C. Schrader, of the U. S.
Geological Survey, who discovered groves of this tree along the Anaktuvuk River
(latitude 69° 20'), a branch of Colville River, in the Arctic watershed. This local-
ity, the northmost one known, is 75 miles from the Arctic Ocean.

Toumt'i/ ( ><(k ( Quercus Toumeyi). — Heretofore this little-known oak has been found
only in the Mule Mountains, southeastern Arizona. A new location for it, the Chi-
ricahua Mountains, was reported in 1906 by H. D. Burrall, and in 1907 by J. S.
Holmes. Mr. Holmes sent specimens of the tree to the Forest Herbarium with a
statement that it occurs on the northwestern end of the Chiricahuas, on the west
slope, at the head of Bonita Canyon and on White Tail Canyon, at elevations of
about 6,000 to 6,200 feet.

Arizona MndrdTi'i (Ai'htitti* arizonica.} — The Arizona madrona has heretofore been
known only in the Santa Catalina and Santa Rita mountains, southern Arizona, and
southward on the Sierras of Chihuahua, Mexico. Recently, however, a number of
new locations have been added in other mountains of southern Arizona. In 1894
Dr. N. L. Britton, of the New York Botanical Garden, and T. H. Kearney, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, collected specimens at Fort Huachuca, where it was
recently observed also by R. S. Kellogg. Mr. Kellogg and H. D. Burrall reported
it from the Chiricahua Mountains, at elevations between 6,000 and 7,900 feet, while
Mr. Kellogg and W. R. Mattoon found this tree in Frye Canton, at 5,800 to 7,500
feet elevation, in the Mount Graham National Forest.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

During the month of June, Mr. A. F. Potter, Assistant Forester, in charge of the
Branch of Grazing, will be engaged in conferences with supervisors in Colorado.

All official letters from Forest officers should be addressed to the Forester, no matter
what officer signed the letters to which they are replies. (See page 9, Service Order
No. 106. ) Each letter should bear upon one subject or one case only. (See page 132
of " The Use Book.")

Duplicates of Form 861 should be sent the Forester in all grazing trespass cases.

Administrative Use of Timber —

Forest officers when submitting applications for the administrative use of timber
by telephone companies should be careful to see that the applications contain the
following clause:

" We do hereby grant to any and all members of the Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture, the free use of our telephone line for official busi-
ness for a period of — — years from the date of approval of this agreement, and agree
to install for the official use of the employees of the said Forest Service at the office
of the Forest Service at — — and any other office or offices hereafter established in
towns in which the lines of the said company already exist or to which they are
extenaed, telephone instruments of the best quality furnished to any customers or
patrons of said company, and to maintain the same in good serviceable condition for

a period of — — years without charge or toll, the line to be completed within

years from the date of approval of this agreement. We further agree that should
the Forest Service build any lines within the aforesaid period, connection may be
made with our existing or proposed lines at any point or points without charge or
toll or extra expense whatever."

Cost of Marking- Timber —

The following reports on the cost of marking timber for cutting have been
received:

On the Shoshone Division of the Yellowstone, in a mixed stand of lodgepole pine
and red fir, made up of small trees, marking has cost from 4 to 5 cents per thousand.

Marking on the Carbon Timber Company's sale in the Medicine Bow (Wyo.)
National Forest, cost about 6 cents per thousand feet B. M. The timber is small,
however, and climatic conditions were very unfavorable.

The cost of marking yellow pine in Arizona has been shown in one sale to be
about 3 cents per thousand.

Sale of Hemlock —

Approximately 50,000,000 feet B. M. of Douglas fir, cedar, and hemlock in the
Washington National Forest (West), is now being advertised under an application
from Morse and Nestos, of Glacier, Wash. An important point in connection with
this sale is the recognition by lumbermen of the value of hemlock. The minimum
stumpage rate for this species named in the notice of sale is $1.50 per M feet B. M.

31

Fort Wing-ate Timber Sale—

The Forest Service is cooperating with the War Department in the administration
of a sale of approximately 25,000,000 feet B. M. of yellow pine in the Fort Wingate
Military Reservation, N. Mex. The timber has been sold at a stumpage value of
$3. 25 per M feet B. M.

Form for Reporting- Free Use —

Form 874—14 is now available for distribution. This form is to be used by forest
rangers in reporting to the forest supervisor when the amount of timber granted
under a free-use permit has been cut and removed, and the free-use regulations com-
plied with.

Timber Estimates —

In a number of recent timber sales the amount applied for has differed consid-
erably from the amount included in the estimate. Where there is a material dif-
ference in these amounts the Forest officer should recommend definitely whether a
sale should be made of a less amount than that specified in the timber estimate, giving
in full his reasons. He should also give his definite opinion as to whether a sale
could be made of the timber left if the application is approved unmodified. This
information is necessary in order that the Washington office may act intelligently on
the case without the delay incident to writing to the forest officer in charge for
further information.

Special Uses with Timber Sales—

In a timber sale to Bunbar and Johnson, recently made in the Bitter Root (Mont.)
National Forest, the timber sale contract provides for a railroad to be used in con-
nection with the sale and thus does away with the necessity for a special use
agreement.

When it can be foreseen that any special uses, such as sawmills, flumes, logging
railroads, etc., will be used only in connection writh timber sales, forest officers should
include in their reports definite recommendations on such special uses, in order
that the whole operation may be covered by one agreement and bond.

Convict Labor Barred —

In accordance with an order of the President, dated May 18, 1905, the following
clause should be inserted in all timber sale applications and contracts:

"No person undergoing a sentence of imprisonment at hard labor can be employed
in carrying out this contract."' (See Executive order, May 18, 1905.)

Camp Steeley Nursery —

Last fall a ranger nursery was established at Camp Steeley in the Pocatello National
Forest, Idaho. The seed was sown this spring, and the species used were Douglas
fir, western yellow pine, Scotch pine, and lodgepole pine. There is a good oppor-
tunity for enlarging the seed beds, and Supervisor Wrensted has made specific recom-
mendations that the nursery be increased to four times its present capacity, making
a total seed bed area of two-fifths of an acre. The increased area is needed in order
to secure an adequate basis for extensive forest planting on city watersheds.

The nursery site is favorably situated, since seedlings can readily be shipped to
other National Forests in southern Idaho.

Frye Canyon Nursery —

A ranger nursery was established in the Frye Canyon, in the Mount Graham
National Forest, about 12 miles southwest of Safford, Ariz. It is well situated at an
altitude of about 6,700 feet. A portion of this nursery was sown with yellow pine
and Arizona cypress seed last season, and a recent inspection shows that it now con-
tains 18,000 western yellow pine seedlings. The beds that were not sown last year
have been seeded this spring with western yellow pine and Arizona wrhite pine col-
lected in Arizona and sugar pine and Coulter pine collected in southern California.
It is believed that these two southern California species will prove of considerable
value for planting in the Mount Graham National Forest.

In order to determine the most desirable planting sites before the stock from the
Frye Canyon Nursery is of sufficient size for planting, a small quantity of seedlings

36

were shipped from the Fort Bayard Planting Station early in April. These seedlings
were planted on eight different sites, presenting a variety of exposures and soil con-
ditions. A recent examination of this planting shows that the loss thus far is less
than 10 per cent. The plantations at present appear promising, but the critical
period upon which the success of field planting depends throughout the Southwest
is unquestionably during the months of May and June.

Forest Planting in Irrigation Projects —

Mr. Siecke has begun the study of forest planting in irrigation projects on Govern-
ment and private land in southern Idaho. The Twin Falls, Payette-Boise, and
Minidoka projects are among those which will be studied to determine the best
species for use in tree planting. Information thus secured will be the basis for prac-
tical assistance to settlers in this region.

Possibilities of Forest Planting in Ohio and Indiana —

The study of the possibilities of forest planting in Ohio is being rapidly carried
forward. The northern and western portions of the State have been covered and
much valuable data on plantations secured. A similar study will be carried out in
Indiana during this month and both projects brought to completion before July 1.
The results of the work will be embodied in one or more circulars.

Replies to Circular Letter (S. E.) of May 7 —

The replies to this circular letter are being received. Additional information,
especially concerning watersheds where planting is needed to improve the flow of
streams directly supplying cities and towns, will be of great assistance to this Office.
Such information may be embodied in a letter accompanying the reply form.

Timber Tests-
Tests made at the various timber- testing laboratories of the Forest Service form
the basis for the following table:

Xorwav pine

10 600

These tests were made upon green bridge stringers. The first column of the table
gives the average fiber stress at rupture of the different species in the green condition;
the second column gives the greatest load that an average timber 5" wide, 12" high,
with 15' between the supports, will hold if the load is concentrated midway between
the supports. If, instead of being concentrated at one point, the load were uniformly

37

distributed over the entire length of the beam, the beam would hold twice as much,
provided it did not fail in longitudinal shear. Short, deep beams are especially liable
to fail in longitudinal shear. In order to insure safety in practice, beams are seldom
allowed to carry more than one-sixth of their breaking load.

Computing- —

In order to facilitate the construction of forest tables, supervisors are requested to
have all forest measurement data of general value secured by forest assistants or
rangers, such as stem analyses, heights, valuation surveys, etc., sent in to the office
for the construction of tables by the Section of Computing. If the original data are
desired for filing by the supervisor, copies should be sent in.

By combining data gathered by different men relating to the same species under
the same growth conditions, the useless duplication of measurements will be avoided,
and uniformity and greater accuracy will be attained in the construction of tables.

Form Factors of National Forest Trees—

From a large number of accurately measured trees the Forest Service has estab-
lished the average form factor for lodgepole pine in Montana to be 0.53, with a range
of from 0.58 for 6-inch trees to 0.42 for 22-inch trees. Douglas fir in Idaho and Wyo-
ming varies from 0.58 for 10-inch trees to 0.40 for 40-inch trees, with an average of
0.49 for merchantable trees. The average form factor of western yellow pine in the
Black Hills is 0.53, with but little variation. In the Sierras of California it is
0.42, with a range from 0.45 to 0.39 as extremes — a very small variation. In other
words, western yellow pine in the Black Hills would be expected to give a

CO

scale of /9 of the scale of a tree of the same dimension in the sugar pine-yellowr pine

belt of California. This would be more than -. more in the former region, and is

further greatly increased by the closer cutting in the Black Hills, where better local
markets are found for the lower grades of lumber.

Studies of National Forest Timbers —

The study of the properties, uses, and markets of the timbers found in the National
Forests will be continued during the present season. Western larch, amabilis fir,
incense cedar, and several other of the less used species will form the basis of this
study. Tests will be made to determine the streDgth of the various species. These
tests will supplement the field study, the object of which will be to discover the
best uses and markets for these woods.

OFFICE OF WOOD PRESERTATION.

Loblolly Pine Cross- Arms —

The field work in the experimental treatment of loblolly pine cross-arms has
recently been completed. In the fall of 1905 a cooperative agreement was entered
into between the Forest Service and the American Telephone and Telegraph Com-
pany with the object of devising a system for preserving cross-arms and similar
classes of material which would insure more desirable and economical results than
were being obtained under the existing conditions. Timber cut during each month
"of the year was collected at the yards of a Norfolk ( Va. ) creosoting company, graded
into three classes in accordance with the relative amounts of heartwood and sap-

38

wood each individual piece contained, and piled in various forms to season, conclu-
sive results being obtained on the time required for the timber to become air dry
under different conditions.

The experiments in the preservative treatment of the timber were then under-
taken and have resulted very successfully, and it is believed that the method of
handling and treating to be recommended to the cooperating company will result
in their obtaining stronger, more durable, and cheaper timber. A full report of
the experiment is now being prepared, from which an extract will be made for
publication.

Open-Tank Treatment of Chestnut Poles —

During the past month an extensive series of experimental treatments of chestnut
telephone poles was completed at Parkton, Md. The butts of the poles were immersed
in successive hot and cold baths of creosote contained in open iron tanks, and in this
way a satisfactory penetration by the preservative was secured. Experiments were
made to determine the relative values of the hot and cold baths and the influence of
other conditions. Later on the poles will be set in an experimental line, where the
practical benefit of the treatment can be determined.

Leather Sheaths —

When leather sheathe are wanted for marking hatchets or hammers, they must
be specified in requisitions.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Full Name in Recommendations for Appointment—"

Supervisors in submitting recommendations for the appointment of rangers or
guards should always give the full names of the men they desire appointed; not
merely initials.

Rangers' Promotions —

A number of supervisors have recommended the promotion of rangers to take effect
on dates other than January 1. It is sometimes necessary that such promotions be
made, but no recommendations of this sort can be approved if made for reasons other
than to offset increased living expenses caused by a change in district. It is very
necessary that supervisors make recommendations for promotions on the 1st of Jan-
uary and at no other times except under these conditions.

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

Itinerary of Constructing- Engineer —

W. E. Herring, Chief of the Office of Engineering, is in the field for a month's trip
to confer with several supervisors in regard to the construction of several telephone
lines and other improvement work upon the National Forests during the next fiscal
year. It is hoped that arrangements may be made during his trip to start a large
amount of telephone construction. Mr. Herring will visit the Gila National Forest,
New Mexico, where 80 miles of line is to be built, the Black Mesa and San Francisco

39

National Forests, Arizona, where 80 miles of line is to be built, and the San Gabriel
and San Bernardino National Forests in southern California, where about 138 miles
of line may be built. It is probable that the construction of 45 miles of telephone
line will also be authorized on the Santa Barbara National Forest.

While in southern California Mr. Herring will inspect the several power plants of
the Edison Power Company at different points on the Kern River in Kern County,
and will consult with them about the installation of meters in connection with the
conservation charge to be made by the Service for power derived from streams in the
National Forests.

Mr. Herring will visit Denver, Colo., on "his return trip to consult with the Rocky
Mountain Bell and the Colorado telephone companies relative to closing contracts
with them for special rates over their lines and other concessions of like nature.

Circular on Building" Telephone Lines —

A special circular has recently been issued entitled " Directions and Specifications
for Building Telephone Lines on the National Forests," and copies have been sent to
all the Supervisors. It is hoped that this circular will materially assist them in the
construction of the telephone lines which will be undertaken during the next fiscal
vear.

Telephone Equipment in Quantity —

Contracts have been awarded by the Secretary of Agriculture to several commer-
cial companies upon their informal bids to furnish the Forest Service with a large
quantity of telephone wire, brackets, and insulators, for use in the construction of
telephone lines upon the National Forests during the next fiscal year. Three thou-
sand miles of No. 12 BB galvanized-iron wire will be furnished, with 105,000 stand-
ard pony insulators (No. 9 Hemingray), and 105,000 standard oak brackets. This
material will be purchased from the special fund for improvement work on the
National Forests, and wTill be furnished to supervisors upon requisition on Form 668 in
the usual manner upon the Office of Engineering, Washington, D. C.

The purchase of telephone line material in quantity will effect a great saving of
the improvement funds of the Service, and the material will be furnished supervi-
sors with as little delay as possible. Except in special emergencies, supervisors
should plan to supply the wire and other material needed for their Forests from this
general purchase rather than to procure the necessary supply on their own accounts.
For ready distribution two-thirds of the material will be shipped to Salt Lake City,
Utah, and one-third to Denver, Colo., and it is expected that it will be delivered at
the western supply points in rime to be used during the remainder of the present
fiscal year in telephone work already started upon several Forests.

New Forms for Construction Material —

Two new forms — 227 and 228 — will shortly be issued for use in connection with
furnishing supervisors the wire, brackets, and insulators purchased in the manner
explained in the preceding note. Upon the receipt in the Office of Engineering, at
Washington, D. C., of requisitions from the supervisors, Form 227 will be used by
the engineer to notify the chief inspector at Salt Lake City or at Denver to ship the
material requisitioned to the supervisor. Form 228 will be filled out by the chief
inspector at these points and returned to the Forester at Washington, D. C., upon
the shipment of the material requisitioned. The new forms will be of a size suitable
for mailing in small envelopes and a supply of the forms will be sent to the chief
inspectors at Denver and Salt Lake City as soon as they are received.

Progress of Improvement Work-
Detailed estimates have been received from many supervisors, and considerable
improvement work is already authorized upon many National Forests. The work
already begun and the purchase of telephone-line material has taken up the greater
part of the $125,000 of the special improvement fund appropriated by Congress, which
is available for use before the beginning of the fiscal year 1908.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Banger Stations—

The work of listing agricultural lands within National Forests is being retarded by
failure of the forest officers to forward rapidly descriptions of the land which should
be retained for rangers' headquarters, nursery sites, and other administrative pur-
poses. The failure to make such reports has arisen largely from lack of study of the
instructions.

Every forest officer should make careful study of the detailed instructions given in
Forest Reserve Order No. 23 (consisting of parts 1, 2, and 3) and in National Forest
Order 23 (consisting of part 4) and report at once what tracts are available and may
be needed for administrative purposes.

The term Ranger Stations applies not only to rangers' headquarters, but also
includes nursery sites. See page 4 of Forest Reserve Order No. 23 (part 1).

Forest officers in every case when forwarding diagrams for withdrawal of lands for
administrative use should state in the letter of transmittal to the Forester the char-
acter of the land — whether- mineral or nonmineral.

Agricultural Settlement under the Act of June 11, 1906 —

Hereafter no duplicate reports will be required. In cases of appeal duplicate
reports and map will be furnished by the Washington Office.

Special Uses —

In many special-use transactions the supervisors have sent to the applicant for
execution not only the original and duplicate copies of the agreements prepared
by the Forester for execution but also, the supervisors' and rangers' copies. Only
the original and duplicate copies should.be sent to the applicants for execution.
The supervisor's copy should always be kept in his file, and the signatures and dates
of execution and approval should be filled in by him. The ranger's copy should be
sent to the ranger at the same time the original and duplicate copies are sent to the
applicant, because the letter of transmital (Form 946) used by the supervisors in
sending the original and duplicate copies to the applicant for execution notifies the
applicant that he may begin enjoyment of the special use immediately upon execut-
ing and mailing both copies of the agreement and making any payment required,
and the ranger should always have in his possession, at the time the applicant is
entitled to begin his special use, a copy of the agreement [showing'exactly what
permission has been given. The ranger may later, at his convenience, fill out his
copy to show the dates of execution and approval.

classes, to be known as (a) Service correspondence, (/>) Branch correspondence,
and (c) Office correspondence.

SERVICE CORRESPONDENCE.

The following classes of Service correspondence and documents will be signed only
by the Forester or the Associate Forester:

1. Letters or papers dealing with or involving questions of policy affecting the
entire Service.

2. Letters to -Senators, Congressmen, high officials, or persons of unusual promi-

are of sufficient importance to require the signature of the Forester or the Associate
Forester.

4. Very important contracts.

The following classes of correspondence and documents will be signed by the
Assistant Forester in charge of the branch concerned, as Acting Forester:

1. Letters which relate directly to the business of a branch, but wThich must, in
accordance with law or regulation, be signed by the Forester or Acting Forester.

2. Letters of authorization.

3. Contracts binding the Service, but not of sufficient importance to require per-
sonal attention by the Forester or the Associate Forester, and which follow estab-
lished policies.

BRANCH roKRESPON'DEXCE.

Branch correspondence will be prepared for the signature of the Assistant Forester
in charge, and will include the following classes:

1. Letters dealing with questions of policy, affecting the branch, but not the
Service as a whole.

2. Letters involving more than one office of the branch.

3. Letters pertaining to the work of the branch, addressed to officials of lesser
rank or persons less prominent than those indicated under "Service Correspond-
ence," paragraph 2.

4. Letters affecting the personnel of the branch.

(Amend* Service Order No, 106.)

Mailing of Correspondence.

MAY 4, 1907.

Each chief of office will designate a member of each section of the office in which
letters are written, who will be responsible for the mailing of correspondence. To
this member stenographers will deliver all letters to be signed, together with the
addressed envelopes and inclosures. When received from stenographers, letters will
be in the form prescribed under "Carbons and Initialing," Service Order 106, except
that the signature stamp will be omitted from the carbons. The letters will be sent
immediately for signature and the envelopes retained until the signed letters are
returned. After signature, all letters will be returned directly to the member in
charge of mailing.

In order to insure the prompt return of signed letters and the correct handling of
inclosures, the following procedure will be followed:

The member in charge of mailing will keep on top of the desk a basket to be used
exclusively for envelopes of letters which have been sent for signature. The envel-
opes will be kept in a separate package for each day's mail, secured by rubber bands,
each package marked by a memorandum slip bearing the date.

AVhen signed letters are not returned promptly, search will at once be made for
them. If it is found that reason exists for holding up a letter temporarily, the
envelope, with the date slip attached, will be retained in the desk basket, and
inquiry made daily of the member responsible for the delay until the letter is either
signed or canceled.

When a signed letter is returned, the member in charge of mailing will compare
the carbon copies with the original letter to make sure that corrections on the original
are reproduced on the carbon, and will also see that inclosures are made in accord-
ance with the terms of the letter. The signature stamp of the signer will be affixed
as the last step before sealing the envelope, except in the case of letters prepared for
the signature of the Forester or the Associate Forester, when the stamp will be
affixed by the Secretary to the Forester.

Before leaving for the day, the member in charge of this work will see that all
letters ready for mailing are taken by a messenger. Stenographers and others who
mail letters after the member in charge of the work has left for the day will also
see that the letters are delivered to a messenger or watchman, and not held over
until the next day.

SERVICE NOTES FOR JULY.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

Executive Order —

Whereas, by an Executive Order of January 17, 1873, it was declared that " persons
holding any Federal civil office by appointment under the Constitution and the laws
of the United States will be expected, while holding such office, not to accept or hold
any office under any State or Territorial government, or under the charter or ordi-
nances of any municipal corporation ";

And whereas it is expedient that the Federal and State Governments should
cooperate for the better enforcement of the laws with regard to the forests and the
protection of fish and game;

And whereas the Congress, in Acts passed June 30, 1906 (34 Stats., 669, 683) and
March 4, 1907 (34 Stats., 1256, 1269), has directed that "hereafter officials of the
Forest Service designated by the Secretary of Agriculture shall, in all ways that are
practicable, aid in the enforcement of the laws of the States or Territories with regard
to stock, for the prevention and extinguishment of forest fires, and for the protection
of fish and game ";

And whereas it seems that such cooperation can, in many instances, be best
effected by allowing officers and employees of the Forest Service and Biological
Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture to accept certain State and
Territorial appointments and certain State and Territorial officials to receive appoint-
ments in the said Forest Service and Biological Survey:

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises, I deem it proper to give public
notice that hereafter State and' Territorial foresters, and their technically trained
assistants, unless prohibited by the laws of the State or Territory, may be allowed to
serve as collaborators in the Federal Forest Service, and that officers and employees
of the said Forest Service and Biological Survey may, with the approval of the
Secretary of Agriculture, accept appointments to positions on State and Territorial
forest commissions and boards and to such other State and Territorial positions as
will empower them to enforce or assist in enforcing the local forest, stock, and game
laws, provided the services to be rendered under such appointments do not interfere
with the duties of their Federal employment.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

THE WHITE HOUSE, June 13, 1907.

DENDROLOGIST.

Notes on the Distribution of Forest Trees—

Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis). — Whitebark pine had not been known east of the
Mount Shasta region in northern California until it was seen in 1904 by R. T. Fisher
just north of Mount Shasta, on the high peaks above 8,000 feet and immediately east
of Shasta Valley, and by S. J. Flinam, in 1906, along timber line on the west slope of
Warner Mountains, in the northeastern corner of the State, at elevations from 9,000 to
10,000 feet. The southern limits of this pine in the Sierras, as determined by
Geo. B. Sudworth, are the high mountain slopes between the head of East Fork of
Kern River and Crab Tree Creek at 12,000 feet, and a'; the head of Little Kern River.
There may possibly be more southern stations, and specimens from this little-known
region are greatly desired. On the eastern slopes of the Sierras it was also found in
1906 on Mount Rose near Reno, Nev., by P. B. Kennedy (not of the Forest Service),
and probably occurs elsewhere on the eastern side of the Sierras, though records of
it are lacking. Whitebark pine occurs on several high peaks of the southern Cali-
fornia Coast Ranges, but its exact range there is not fully known. Specimens and
notes from the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains are desired. It has also
been reported in the high mountains of southern Idaho and northern Utah, and also
as far east in Montana as the Bear Paw Mountains (east of the Continental Divide)
by A. F. Potter, H. F. Studley, Smith Riley, F. W. Reed, and J. H. Hatton. Speci-
mens from these localities are also greatly desired.

Lowland fir (Abies grandis). — Dr. C. Hart Merriam (of the Biological Survey) dis-
covered this fir in a narrow strip of the Coast pine, P,inus contorta, north of Fort Ross,
in Sonoma County, Cal. This, for the present, must be considered its southern
limit.

Red fir (Abies magnified}. — J. Rebmann reported for red fir the most southern limit
recorded in the Sierras, where he found it in the Greenhorn Mountains, at the head
of Lumreau Creek (a tributary of Poso Creek), sections 12, 13, 11, 14, of T. 26 S., R.
31 E , at from 4,500 to 6,650 feet elevation.

Redwood (Sequoia sempiv-rens). — The most eastern limit for the Coast redwood, and
the only point known on the east slopes of the Coast Range, is near the town of
Willets on Deep Creek, Mendocino County, where S. J. Flintham observed the tree
in 1905.

^\facNab cypress (Cupressus macnabwna) . — A new7 grove of this cypress, and the
farthest north of any of the Lake County groves, was discovered in 1902 by W. W.
Mackie; the information has only just been received. The trees are scattered along
Bartlett Creek, in the Stony Creek National Forest, from Horse County southward.

Rocky Mountain juniper (Janiperus scopulorum ) . — The eastern limits of this species
are, in general, the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, from Alberta to west-
ern Texas, but it has been recently noted in Oklahoma by W. J. Gardner and G. L.
Clothier. Further investigation of the Black Hills (South Dakota) juniper may
prove it to, be this species.

23

Calif ornia juniper (Juniperus calif arnica). — This tree had not been observed in the
Sierras north of Kernville on Kern River until Geo. B. Sudworth found it grow-
ing abundantly as far up the South Fork of Kern River as 7 miles below Monache
Meadow.

Goldenleaf chinquapin (Caxlanea chrywphylla). — Heretofore this tree has not been
known in Oregon except on the Cascade Range, but J. B. Leiberg found it in 1899 as
a shrub on the Klamath-Des Chutes divide to the east, and W. T. Cox discovered it
in 1903 in the southern Coast Range of Oregon in the present Siskiyou National
Forest, The extension is of very great interest.

Garry oak (Quercus garryana) . — Previously not known east of Trinity National
Forest, this tree was reported by A. R. Powers in the foothills of the Plumas, Diamond
Mountain, and Lassen Peak National Forests. Further careful field observations are
likely to reveal other outlying stations.

Engelmann oak (Quercus engelmanni). — E. A. Mearns (not of the Forest Service)
has very recently reported this species occurring a short distance beyond the Mexi-
can line, in lower California. Heretofore it has not been known farther south than
the mesa back of San Diego.

Blue oak (Quercus doug/asii). — Blue oak was reported by F. G. Plummer and M. G.
Gowsell in 1905, and by J. H. Hatton in 1906, in the southern California Coast Ranges,
in the watersheds of the Santa Ynez and Santa Maria rivers of the northwestern
part of the Santa Barbara National Forest, a locality in which it has not been
previously known. It is known, however, to occur a little farther north in the
northern part of the San Luis Obispo National Forest on the northern slopes of the
Sierra Liebre range, and in San Fernando Valley on the southern slopes of the San
Gabriel Mountains. Specimens or notes from this general locality are greatly
desired, as well as information concerning the northern extent of this oak in the
Sacramento Valley and in the Coast Ranges, where it is known at present only as far
as Redding and Mendocino County.

Notes and Specimens Desired—

The Coast Ranges of Oregon and southern California have not been carefully
explored for the little known or unknown trees which they doubtless contain. In
Oregon the exact northern limit in the Coast Ranges of sugar pine, white fir (Abies
concolor), goldenleaf chinquapin, California black oak, and a number of other trees,
is unknown, while in California the exact southern limits of such Coast species as
Sitka spruce, western hemlock ( Tsuga Jielerophylla), yellow cedar, and Lawrson's
cypress, as well as the western or northern limits of various California oaks and
junipers, are all yet to be determined. It is hoped that National Forest officers and
others will assist in completing our knowledge of the range of these trees by contrib-
uting notes and specimens.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Check Scaling1 Results —

The work of check scaling on the Black Hills National Forest conducted by Assist-
ant Lumberman Hamilton, under the direction of Supervisor Smith, has shown that
in the cases of two of the officers the check scale varied from the original scale only
one-tenth of 1 per cent. This accurate work is to be highly commended, and it is
hoped that the check scaling on other Forests will show equally good results.

24

Forester's Sales—

In Forester's sales, as soon as one publication of the notice of sale has been made,
the Forest officer in charge should send the applicant and other prospective bidders
a copy of Form 941 with a clipping of the notice of sale attached, together with
instructions that bids should be submitted promptly. This is necessary in order
that the bids may be received in Washington before the date fixed, by the notice of
sale as the last day for receiving bids. Bidders frequently fail to give the location
of the timber and the different kinds and species included in the sale.

At the same time, Form 935 should be sent to the Forester.

Insect-Infested Timber, Black Hills National Forest —

Under the General Notice of Sale dated February 4, 1907, sixteen sales of insect-
infested timber have been made, disposing of 10,100,000 feet B. M. of saw timber
and 2,200 cords of wood. A price of $1 per thousand feet B. M. for saw timber and
25 cents per cord for cord wood has been obtained.

Advance Payments —

All timber sale contracts require that payment shall be made in definite amounts
in advance of cutting. This regulation should be construed to mean that payments
should be made in advance of cutting rather than of scaling. A number of cutting
reports have been received recently in which it is evident that Forest officers, in
requiring payments, have not taken into consideration the amount of material cut
but not scaled.

Timber Sales Running Over Two Years —

All timber sale contracts in which the period allowed for the completion of the
sale is more than two years should provide that a definite part of the total estimated
amount of timber be cut and removed each year.

Sale of Doug-las Fir, Cedar, and Hemlock —

Two bids have been received for approximately 35,854,000 feet B. M. of Douglas
fir, 6,229,000 feet B. M. of cedar, and 2,839,000 feet B. M. of hemlock, recently
advertised in the Washington National Forest (West). The highest h^l, $2.43 per
thousand feet B. M. for fir, $2.10 per thousand feet B. M. for cedar, and $1.50 per
thousand feet B. M. for hemlock, was submitted by the Bolcom-Riley Logging Com-
pany, of Sumas, Wash. There are no special conditions in connection with the sale,
and the bid was based entirely upon the recognized market value of the timber.

OFFICE OF SILVICS.

Timber-Destroying Fungi —

Mr. K. W. Woodward recently sent in specimens of a fungus which he found very
prevalent on balsam and hemlock in the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The
specimens were identified as EcMnodontium tinctorum, a little-known species, upon
the life history of which practically nothing has been written. It is exceedingly
desirable that Forest officers report the occurrence of destructive fungi attacking
forest trees on the National Forests and, wherever possible, submit specimens of the

25

fruiting bodies to this Office. The specimens will be identified and all available
information regarding their life history and the extent of damage they are capable
of doing will be supplied.

Silvical Data on File —

The section of Compilation has now on file silvical data on 180 species, including
practically all the western forest trees and many of the chaparral species. The fol-
lowing species have been added to the lists printed in the February and March num-
bers of the Field Program:

Report on Seed Production —

The date for submitting the report on seed production is August 1, and super-
visors should have the technical men and otlier officers on their Forest consider this
matter carefully and report promptly, since the reports are used as a basis for planning
seed collecting.

Progress of Germination Tests of Forest-Tree Seeds —

The practical soil tests to determine the germination per cent of the forest-tree
seeds used in planting this spring have been completed, with the exception of a few
flats containing seeds of the following species: Pinus lambertiana, P. attenuata, P.
coulter i, P. sabiniana, P. torreyana, P. muricata, Librocedrus decurrens, and Pseudotsuga
taxi folia.

The data obtained is now being tabulated and the conclusions drawn from the
experiments will be embodied in a report which will be sent to the Forest officers
directly concerned, or to others who may request it.

Replies to Circular Letter (SE) of May 7 —

Less than half of the recipients of the above letter have made reply. Forest
officers who are not able to furnish the desired information should so notify the
Forester as soon as possible.

Map Notes —

An arrangement has been made with the Interior Department by which the U. S.
Geological Survey will, upon request, print small editions of the General Land Office
wall map of the United States for the use of the Forest Service. The map will show
the National Forests to date of each edition, the Indian reservations, the public-land
surveys, and the topographic and cultural features. The other features will be omitted,
as they are unnecessary in the work of the Service and their omission gives a more
legible and economical map.

The temporary force of colorists employed in copying the forest classification maps
on file in Washington, D. C., for use in the files of the district inspectors will finish
the work of duplication by July, 1907. The bestmaps available at present have been
used, some of which will be replaced later when better data are obtainable.

Statistics of Forest Products—

The Bureau of the Census has recently issued a preliminary statement of the
lumber cut of the United States in 1906, the data for which were gathered in coopera.
tion with the Forest Service. The figures are the largest ever secured upon this sub-
ject, and show clearly the heavy drain annually made upon our forests. The cut in
1906 and that in 1899, with the percentage of change since 1899, are given below-
Southern and western yellow pine are included under the head of yellow pine, and
Norway pine with white pine.

30

The most striking fact shown by the table is that white pine, which for years
occupied first place and was then succeeded by yellow pine, has now fallen to third,
having been displaced by the rapidly increasing cut of Douglas fir.

Computing — ,

The section of Computing has made considerable progress in the compilation of
forest tables for species found in the National Forests. These tables include volume
tables in diameter and height classes for different regions. Lodgepole pine and west-
ern yellowr pine tables have been completed and submitted for publication. A large
number of stem analyses are still necessary to complete the volume tables for other
species. Some data are being gathered in the course of regular work in some of the
National Forests, but information obtained is often incomplete. For example, meas-
urements on over 800 trees of Engelmann spruce were recently sent in giving stump
and breastheight diameters and log dimensions, but not the total height of the trees.
As a result, a volume table is impossible, since for this both diameter and height
must be known. A very little more trouble would have secured total height meas-
urements and made the data much more valua'ble.

Mr. E. A. Zeigler, in charge of the section of Computing, will visit some of the
National Forests during the summer for the purpose of securing additional analyses
and getting in touch with Forest officers who may desire to gather measurements for
tables for their Forests.

Stem analysis, height, and valuation survey blanks may be had on requisition and
should be used whenever possible for the recording of measurements.

Fuel Supply —

The attention of supervisors is called to the following copies of letters from the
President to the Secretary of Agriculture and from the Secretafy of Agriculture to
the Forester. Supervisors are hereby instructed to take action in accordance with
these letters.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,

Washington, June IS, 1907.
The FORESTER, Forest Service.

DEAR SIR: Please note the attached copy of a letter from the President of the
United States in regard to fuel supplies for Government offices in the Northwest.
You will please take such action as may be necessary to carry out the President's
direction, so far as your Bureau is concerned.

Respectfully, . JAMES WILSON, Secretary.

[Inclosure.]

THE WHITE HOUSE,
Washington, June 11, 1907.
To the SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE:

The Interstate Commerce Commission urges, upon the recommendation of the
president of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, that the Federal Government
should set a good example by laying in an adequate fuel supply for all its offices or
branches in the Northwest well in advance of the next winter, so as to avoid so far
as possible the trouble caused by the shortage of fuel in that region in the winter
that has just passed. This is excellent advice. You are directed to have a complete
stock of fuel at all offices controlled by your Department throughout the West prior
to the 1st of October next, so that after that date it shall be unnecessary to buy
any coal or wood for Indian schools, army posts, or any other Government uses
throughout the Northwest.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Ranger Examinations —

The Civil Service Commission will hold an examination for the position of forest
ranger at each supervisor's headquarters on July 23 and 24. Supervisors should give
this examination as much publicity as possible and encourage desirable persons to
take it. The field part of the examination wrill be modified so that the examination
may be held at or near each headquarters.

No deduction should be made from the salaries of forest guards on account of
time spent by them in taking civil-service examination for the position of forest
ranger.

Allotments and Transfers —

At the beginning of the fiscal year a definite amount of money wrill be allotted each
Forest for salaries -and general expenses. In the case of salaries, this allotment will
carry with it a given number of men for a given period. In order that confusion
may not result in keeping track of the expenditure of this allotment, Forest officers
assigned to a given National Forest should be charged against that Forest unless trans-
ferred to another forest for a considerable length of time. If supervisors having
charge of several Forests find it advisable to transfer men from one Forest to another
for short periods, they may do so, but the men should be charged against the Forest
to which they are permanently assigned. If it is found advisable to transfer an officer
to another Forest permanently or for a considerable length of time the transfer should
be requested, and in this case the allotment will be transferred with the man.

32

Temporary Transfers of Rangers —

Supervisors are cautioned to make provision for the return to their Forests of
rangers temporarily transferred to Boundaries for work under the Act of June 11.
They should learn from the Chief Inspectors the approximate length of time the serv-
ices of these men will be needed for agricultural examinations. In recommending
thejappointment of guards or rangers to take the place of men so transferred, arrange-
ments should be made so that on the completion of the agricultural work these men
may be re-transferred from Boundaries to their Forests without the allotment being
exceeded for which provision has already been made.

Bangers' Subsistence —

After careful consideration it has been decided that rangers who are called to the
supervisor's headquarters for any other purpose than to attend rangers' meetings must
furnish their own subsistence. Supervisors should make careful note of this decision
and see that it works no unnecessary hardship for the rangers. When it is not
practicable for rangers to use their own horses, expenses for travel may be allowed,
but accounts for subsistence should not be submitted.

Identifying Expenses on Form 99 —

In checking over the accounts of Forest officers it is often difficult to tell which
items are charged under a given heading on Form 99. If in making these charges
on Form 4, Forest officers would place the number of the heading on Form 99 against
which it is charged after the amount of the item on Form 4, it would greatly assist
in checking over accounts. To avoid confusing such a number with the amount of
the entry, a circle may be drawn around the number.

When submitting accounts in behalf of rangers or guards for travel and subsistence,
supervisors should in every case accompany the account with a brief statement of the
character of the work in connection with which these expenses were incurred and
the necessity for its performance. This matter should receive careful attention, since
items not thus explained will be suspended pending further information from the
supervisor.

Marking-Tools —

As a result of the request in the May Program for the experiences of men in the
use of the marking ax, the Forester has received many valuable letters, written by
rangers who have had experience in the use of both the ax and the hatchet. Fol-
lowing is an extract from one of these letters written by Forest Ranger C. B. Swim,
of the Yellowstone National Forest (Shoshone Division), Wyoming:

I find that to mark timber to the best advantage in mixed stands both the mark-
ing hatchet and the marking ax should be at the worker's command. In marking
lodgepole pine, balsam, or spruce the marking hatchet is much handier and time can
be saved by using it; but in marking Douglas fir when the trees are large and have
thick bark the light hatchet is almost useless and the marking ax much more effect-
ive, and much time and labor can be saved by its use. 1 recommend the use of both
instruments.

Very respectfully, CLARENCE B. SWIM.

The experience and criticisms of men who use these and other tools are very much
desired in order that the needs of each Forest may be met. Hangers who have used
the marking ax, the marking hatchet (with long or short handle), or the marking
hammer are requested to write brief letters to their supervisors, stating their experi-
ences and making such recommendations as they have to offer.

Supervisors are urged to encourage their men at all times freely to criticise all
instruments that they use.

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

Increased Allotments for Improvement Work —

From letters which have been received from certain supervisors it appears that
the manner of expending increases in their letters of authorization from the special
improvement fund is not thoroughly understood.

Although not embodied in a special letter of authorization, any increase from the
special fund is made for a specific purpose and must be used for this purpose only.
Money allotted for one authorized improvement work should in no case be used for
any other improvement until authority for such transfer is received from the For-
ester in reply to a recommendation by the supervisor.

Special-fund money should in no case be used for general expenses. The pay-
ment for special labor for work on permanent improvements is chargeable against
the special fund, but such labor must be obtained with the understanding that as
soon as the work on which the men are engaged is completed they will no longer be
needed. Men hired under these circumstances should not be used for patrol duty or
other Forest work, except in cases of sudden emergency, such as the need for
fighting fire.

Telephone Lines —

Up to June 15 there have been 700 miles of single-wire telephone line construction
authorized. About 1,200 additional miles will probably be authorized immedi-
ately after the first of the fiscal year.

It seems to be the general opinion among the supervisors that, under the instruc-
tions' sent out for constructing telephone lines, it is never permissible to use poles
shorter than 22 feet. This is erroneous, for when the necessity is shown a shorter
pole may be used, provided that either the cost of the longer pole is excessive or the
difficulty of securing it too great. Trees should be used wherever available in lieu
of poles. This will materially lessen the cost of some of the lines on which estimates
have been returned.

Colorado Telephone Company —

A contract has been signed by the Forest Service with the Colorado Telephone
Company by which the company grants various concessions to the Service in con-
sideration of the free right of way for their lines over the National Forests. The
Forest Service will receive free use of the company's lines through the National
Forests for official messages and special rates for the use of their lines between
points situated beyond the boundaries of the Forests. The Service will also receive
special rates for the purchase of instruments and line supplies.

The company will construct desirable lines in many cases in cooperation with the
Service. The free use of timber is granted to the company for poles for the construc-
tion of lines on the National Forests, and pole timber will be sold in many cases to
the company when needed for lines built outside the Forests.

The better connection will insure greater protection of the National Forests from
fire and permit the rapid transaction of business with users of the Forests.

Form No. 221 has been originated for use under the terms of this contract for
messages to be sent by the company, and the supervisors in the region served by the
company's lines have been provided with a supply of these forms to be used by
themselves and their forest rangers. The contract will go into effect on July 1.

Telephone Instruments on Forest-Service Lines —

As there seems to be some misapprehension among the supervisors in regard to the
cooperative work with the settlers in constructing telephone lines and the privileges

34

which the Service can grant them, the following notes are given with the hope that
they may tend to clear this matter up:

Where settlers cooperate in the construction of a Forest-Service line they expect
the free use of the line, or the privilege of connecting an instrument with the Forest-
Service line, in return for their work. Before it is promised that an instrument can
be attached to the line the attention of settlers should be called particularly to the fact
that the right to connect an instrument with the Forest-Service line, or the privilege
of free use of the line, does not give them the right to use the exchange of any com-
mercial company with which the Forest-Service line may connect, for the reason
that Service contracts with the commercial companies are for official business of the
Forest Service only, which does not include any person who may have connections
with Service lines. Settlers will .be required to make their own arrangements for
such use of the exchange as they may desire. Under ordinary circumstances only
those persons who cooperate in the construction of the telephone lines will be allowed
to install an instrument on the Service line, and, unless this cooperation is of sufficient
importance to warrant it, it would be better for the Service not to accept it, but to do
the work alone and thus prevent overloading the line with instruments.

Special Uses —

After July 1 the authority and responsibility in special-use business is practically
transferred to the supervisors. (The Use Book, p. 44.) After that date the number
of Forester' s permits will be comparatively very small. A circular of instructions and
suggestions, as a guide to the supervisors in special-use business, is in preparation.
(The Use Book, p. 47.) This circular will contain a schedule of charges, various
sample agreements, and other useful matter which could not well be published in
The Use Book.

Forester's Copies of Supervisors' Permits —

It is very important that the supervisors, immediately upon approving each per-
mit, send the original to the Forester, accompanied by a full report on Form 964.
(The Use Book, p. 46.)

Special-Use Cards —

Form 619 has been revised and a new supply issued to the supervisors. Only the
new cards should be used.

Stamps for Supervisors' Permits (see The Use Book, p. 46} —

A new stamp reading ''Original for the Forester" has been sent to each supervisor,
to be used for stamping the original of each supervisors special-use permit. To avoid
unnecessary new stamps the following stamps previously in use may be used for
stamping the duplicate, supervisors' and rangers' copies, respectively: "Duplicate
for permittee," "Forest Supervisor," and "Copy for information of field officer."
Supervisors should make immediate requisition for any of these stamps not on hand.

Agreements Unapproved July 1 —

Agreements prepared by the Forester before July 1, covering special uses for which
the supervisors may now issue permits, should be approved by the supervisors and
not returned to the Forester for approval.

Field Details —

Mr. C. H. Squire, of the section of Special Uses, has recently visited the headquarters
of the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, San Jacinto, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Stony

35

Creek, Trinity, Shasta, Klamath, Siskiyou, and Stanislaus National Forests, to con-
fer with and assist the supervisors in their special-use business.

Mr. C. S. Brothers, of the section of Special Uses, will, during July and August,
visit the headquarters of the Pikes Peak, Leadville, Holy Cross, Battlement Mesa,
Salt Lake, Wasatch, Uinta, Payson, Manti, Fruita, Ouray, Uncompahgre, and Gun-
nison National Forests for the same purpose.

Agricultural Settlement (act of June 11, 1906) —

The particular attention of the examiners is called to section 8 on Form 110. In
every case complete information must be furnished under this section of any claims
established or asserted and the date of alleged settlement given. These facts are
absolutely essential before a withdrawal for the purpose of an administrative site is
made.

Reports on lands applied for under the act of June 11, 1906, on Form 110, should
set forth definite reasons for or against the listing of lands. The general statement
that the lands are valuable for agriculture or for Forest purposes is not sufficient. If
a part of a tract is recommended for listing the report should explain why it is
desired and also give clear reasons why the other lands can not be listed.

Examiners on the agricultural settlement work when they believe lands should be
withdrawn for administrative purposes should, while on the ground, make a com-
plete examination and survey in accordance with both the instructions for agricul-
tural settlement (Form 110) and the survey of administrative sites. Both of these
reports will be presented to the supervisor for his approval and will be forwarded in
the usual manner to the chief inspector for transmittal to the Forester. It should
be noted that these instructions cancel the former order, which simply required that
a recommendation for withdrawal only was necessary. If it is decided to recom-
mend the tract for administrative purposes, arid should an adverse claim exist or
be asserted, supplemental reports, on new Form 654 for mineral entry and Form 655
for agricultural settlement, will be required.

Boundaries— Administrative Sites —

Supervisors in transmitting recommendations for the withdrawal of proposed ad-
ministrative sites must bear in mind that no final action can be taken unless all
adverse claims, if such exist, are fully reported upon. Mineral claims must be
reported upon on new Form 654 and agricultural settlements on Form 655.

The attention of all Forest officers in charge of National Forests is called to the
importance of complying with the instructions given in paragraphs 34 and 35 of part
4 of National Forest Order 23, which reads as follows:

34. All plats and descriptions hitherto received which could possibly be accepted
as sufficiently definite have been accepted for withdrawal. Therefore all recommen-
dations for ranger stations sent to the Washington office before April 15, 1907, for
which no notification of withdrawal has been received by officers in charge prior to
Junt 1, 1907, should be considered as rejected and be resubmitted as promptly as
possible in accordance with this order.

35. In all cases in which the original descriptions were not sufficiently definite to
enable the tract to be readily relocated, or in which more land than is needed has
been either recommended or withdrawn,. new descriptions should be submitted as
soon as possible definitely locating the precise tracts needed.

36

The supervisors have in many cases made recommendations for the withdrawal of
administrative sites which, owing to inaccuracy in the descriptions or for other rea-
sons, it is afterwards found should not have been made. In such cases the supervisor
should at once forward the necessary explanation to the Forester with a specific
recommendation. Since the tract is noted as a possible administrative site, an appli-
cant under the Act of June 11, 1906, would be informed that his application could
not be considered. This is liable to result in serious injustice.

Each supervisor is requested to go over carefully all recommendations heretofore
made and forward to the Forester a complete list of the tracts which will not be
needed.

The utmost care should be exercised in preparing the lists, particularly in clearly
identifying the tracts, with all descriptions which may have been previously given.

A report on a proposed administrative site must specifically state the character of
the land — whether mineral or nonminerial. If mineral, the report should be supple-
mented by further report on new Form 654. If there is any reason to believe the
title of the United States is clouded, the facts should be fully reported. Examiners
under the act of June 11, 1906, should be particularly careful to fill out the section
on claims in Form 110 before recommending the withdrawal of a tract for adminis-
trative purposes.

The use of the term "Ranger Station " as a general designation for all tracts with-
drawn for the use of the Service is discontinued and the term " Administrative
Site" is substituted for it. In all reference to such sites hereafter the following
rule should be observed: When they are referred to as a general class, the term
"Administrative Site" should be used. When, however, specific cases are referred
to, they should be designated by a term indicating the nature of the sites, as, for
instance, "Nursery Sites," "Ranger Sites," "Reservoir Sites," etc.

Claims —

In reports on mineral claims careful attention should be paid to that part of the
report relative to the nature, extent, and value of the improvements, and the dis-
covery of mineral.

Improvements must be such as directly tend 'to promote the extraction of mineral
from the claims, such as cuts, shafts, tunnels, etc., hoisting machinery, black-
smith shops for sharpening tools, boarding and bunk houses for miners working the
claims, and for placer claims hydraulic mining machinery, ditches or flumes for con-
veying water used in mining operations. Where extensive improvements are made
on one or more claims for the benefit of others, the feasibility of developing claims
on which improvements are not located should be clearly shown.

A common deficiency in filling out Form 655 and often in rendering special reports
on settlement claims, where the settlement has not been continuous, is the failure to
state the number, duration, and cause of absences, so as to enable the office to reach
a proper conclusion where compliance with law has not been strict and the recom-
mendation must accordingly be based, to a large extent, on apparent good or bad
faith of claimant.

If it appears he has been absent from the land from time to time, the cause of the
absence should be noted. If claimant is away to earn money to support himself and
improve the claim, the nature of the employment should be stated, and whether
claimant has continued to cultivate and improve the claim. Care should be taken if
claimant has a family and they reside elsewhere, not on the claim, to indicate the
character of that residence, whether claimant, in fact, maintains his home with the
family, and not on the claim, notwithstanding appearances on the claim might
otherwise indicate residence.

SERVICE NOTES FOR AUGUST.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

LAW.

The attention of supervisors in South Dakota, Montana. Washington, Idaho,
and Wyoming is called to the decision of the Secretary of the Interior in the
case of South Dakota v. Riley (34 L. D., 657), noted in the Use Book at pages
222 and 223. Under this decision all trespasses committed on supposed school
sections before their identification by survey and by the filing of the township
plat in the local land office should be reported to the Forester. No lease or
permit from the State will excuse the trespasser before the -filing of the plat.
This interpretation of the law was contested by the register of the State land
board of Montana, Mr. John P. Schmit, and submitted to the attorney-general of
the State, who advised the register, by letter dated June 17, that the State had
no rights before survey. To the same effect is the decision of the supreme
court of Montana in the case of Clemmons v. Gillett (33 Mont, 321 ; 83 Pac.,
879).

An International Forest Fire —

The Secretary of State has called upon the Forest Service to furnish an ex-
pert to examine and report upon the damage done by a forest fire which started
in connection with the work of resurveying the boundary line between Vermont
and Canada, and which burned timber on both sides of the line. Eugene Bruce,
expert lumberman, has made the examination for the Service, and his report
will soon be transmitted to the Secretary of State.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Card Record of Deposits and Timber Cut —

In recording the amount of timber cut on Form G15 (Timber Sale), the record
should be cumulative, the full amount cut to date being given and not the
amount cut since the last report or entry upon the card. The record of deposits,
however, should not be cumulative, but should be a record of each separate pay-
ment, entered with the date and number of the certificate of deposit.

Advance Cutting —

When advance cutting is allowed in any timber sale, the Forest officer in
charge of the sale should be furnished with a copy of the application before
cutting begins.

Reports on Examinations of Class C Sales —

Many of the reports on timber-sale examinations are incomplete, since they
fail to recommend the manner in which the sales should be handled. This is an
essential part of the report and should in no case be omitted. (See page 77 of
" The Use Book.") The Forest officer who makes the examination must deter-
mine, while on the ground, (1) whether or not the sale should be made; and
(2), if the sale is recommended, how the timber should be cut and removed in
order to leave the cutting area in good condition. His report should cover the

(14)

15

following subjects: (1) The needs of the tract and the objects to be gained
from the marking; (2) an outline of the manner in which the different types
should be marked in order to accomplish these results; (3) special regulations
regarding the disposal of brush, protection of the remaining stand, place of
scaling, and any other points that should be included in the contract. The
Supervisor should approve these recommendations with any additions or modi-
fications that he considers advisable and submit it with the formal application
for the Forester's approval.

Variation of Diameter Limit in Timber Sales —

Forest officers should inform applicants and purchasers of timber from the
National Forests that the Forest Service does not guarantee that the estimated
amount of timber can be cut from the area covered by the application or con-
tract, and also, if diameter limits are specified in the application or contract,
that the diameter limits are approximate and will be varied wherever necessary
in the judgment of the Forest officers. Before the execution of any contract,
prospective purchasers should be shown, whenever possible, exactly how the
timber will be marked. Forest officers should explain that it may be necessary
slightly to modify the method of marking if the conditions after the cutting
actually begins seem to demand it.

Transactions to be closed —

In order to insure the prompt closing of all free use, timber sale, timber tres-
pass, and other transactions upon the National Forests, officers in charge will
please adopt the following system of reminders :

The date of the expiration of all permits and contracts covering a period of
not more than one year should be entered on a desk calendar. For instance, a
free-use permit dated August 1, 1907, to cover a period of three months, should
be entered under date of November 1. This does not apply to the larger trans-
actions which cover long periods of time.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

All business in connection with the issuance of special-use permits for drift
fences, pastures, etc., and hay sales has been transferred from the section of
special uses, Branch of Operation, to the section of fences, Branch of Grazing,
in which all such special-use business will hereafter be handled.

Vaccine from Bureau of Animal Industry —

The Bureau of Animal Industry has agreed to recognize all applications for
vaccine presented by stock owners grazing stock within the National Forests.
Applications should be made through the supervisor, stating the disease to be
treated, and the number of stock to which the treatment is to be given. Upon
receipt of an application the supervisor will see that it is in proper form, and
not unreasonable, after which he should approve it, and forward it to the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, D. C. Supervisors are requested to
give ample publicity to this fact and to advance the work of the Bureau of
Animal Industry in its efforts to reduce stock diseases as much as possible by a
proper distribution of the vaccine.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Shipping Points —

Considerable difficulty has been experienced by supervisors whose headquar-
ters are at places remote from the railroad in the receipt of freight and express
shipments. This could largely be avoided if the officers would notify the
property clerk of shipping points more convenient to them than those to which
goods have been shipped in the past.

18

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

Proper Use of Form 2a Required —

Supervisors are not filling out Form 143 which accompanies Form 2a, as
required in circular letter dated January 5, 1907.

Care must be taken to insert in the proper columns indicated by the printed
heading whether the absence is on account of annual or sick leave, leave without
pay, or furlough.

Whenever services are rendered for broken periods by any employee of the
service, including temporary laborers, the number of days absent should be
'stated in the proper column under the heading "Absence from duty."

This information is absolutely necessary to complete the Form 2a before the
pay roll can be approved for payment.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Boundaries — Administrative Sites —

Attention is called to Service Order 5, printed in this issue.

All recommendations for administrative sites should be submitted upon the
form prepared for that purpose. A supply of this form was mailed to the
supervisors in Office letter (OB) dated August 15. The report must be made
upon the form or a typewritten copy of it. It should state whether the site
lies within the National Forest or outside of it. The Forester will be glad to
receive suggestions from the supervisors in regard to any desirable changes in
this form.

Whenever these sites are referred to as a general class, the term "Administra-
tive sites " should be used. When, however, specific cases are referred to. they
should be designated by a term indicating the nature of the site, as, for instance.
"Ranger station," "Nursery site," "Reservoir site," or "Road site" (when a
tract is withdrawn to secure a right of way).

Reports on Claims —

A large majority of reports on claims by Forest officers fail to name the Land
District in which the land is situated. The name of the district should in every
case be given, since it greatly expedites the handling of reports, both in the Office
of Lands, Forest Service, and, especially, in the General Land Office.

Reports on Agricultural Entries —

Reports on agricultural entries should be made out on new Form 655, and
Forest officers should supply themselves with this form, as well as the latest
Form 654, covering Mineral Claims, and Form 175, covering a mill-site claim.

Where an adverse report is made on a homestead claim, and the defect is non-
compliance with law as to continuous residence on the land — abandonment of it —
the report should, whenever possible, contain the name of one or more persons
who may be relied on as witnesses.

Special Uses —

Unavoidable delay occurred in mimeographing and mailing the circular upon
special uses, dated July 19. The circular is intended to be distributed by the
supervisors to all Forest officers, and a sufficient number of copies for that pur-
pose has been sent to the supervisors, who are requested to distribute them
accordingly.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Tool Boxes for Fire-Fighting Implements —

On the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Forests tool boxes have been con-
structed and placed at various central points throughout the Forests. They
are something like piano boxes, painted red and suitably labeled, and are
supplied with a padlock. In these boxes are kept a full set of fire-fighting

19

implements. The key is left at the nearest ranch or cabin. This is an excel-
lent scheme and one which should be put into effect on many of the National
Forests. Where letters of authorization for general expenses are insufficient
for this purpose, the necessary funds will be allotted from the permanent
improvement fund on receipt of estimates in proper form from supervisors.
Blueprints showing the general plan of the boxes suggested have been pre-
pared and. may be had on request to the Forester.

Since there seems to be more or less difficulty in identifying Government
tools after a fire has been extinguished, especially in case a good many settlers
have helped fight the fire, it is suggested that handles of Government tools be
painted red or otherwise marked in some very definite way. This will render
it unnecessary for rangers to examine each tool minutely in order to find the
Forest Service stamp.

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

Improvements on Administrative Sites —

In making estimates for improvements on administrative sites, supervisors
should be very careful to give the name of the site and also, where the land
is surveyed, to describe by legal subdivisions the land on which the expenditure
is to be made. This will greatly facilitate checking to see whether withdrawal
has been requested in accordance with National Forest Order 23, Part IV.

Local Surveyors for Administrative Sites —

Attention is called to the fact that where the local force is inadequate to
handle the survey of administrative sites, allotment may be made for the hire of
local surveyors to do this work in extreme cases. Supervisors are also urged,
wherever necessary, to hire help, in addition to the regular force, for carrying
on all kinds of permanent improvement work. The fact can not be too strongly
emphasized that the permanent improvement fund will not be available after
June 30, 1908, except in cases where contracts have previously been made.
Expenditures must not, of course, be made in advance of authorization. The
necessary funds will be allotted wherever possible on receipt of estimates made
in proper form.

SERVICE ORDERS.

SERVICE ORDER 3.

AUGUST 16, 1907.

Revision of Instructions Under Grazing Regulations.

To Forest Supervisors:

The following amendments are hereby made in the general information given
by " The Use Book " for 1907 in reference to grazing regulations :

On page 96, in the information under Regulation 40, the second paragraph is
amended to read :

The supervisor may allow stock to enter not more than fifteen days in
advance of the date fixed for the beginning of the grazing period, or allow
it to remain fifteen days after the expiration of the regular grazing period,
when the needs of the people demand such action and the condition of the
range warrants it.

On page 116 the last sentence of the first paragraph is amended to read :

The reservoirs will be kept in repair by the permittee, and will remain
the property of the United States.

The words " and will be opened to other stock on the Forest " have been
stricken out, as it is the intention to allow stockmen the privilege of fencing
stock-watering reservoirs built by them on portions of the range to the exclusive
use of which they are entitled.

Forest officers will please note these changes and act in accordance with this
revision of the regulations.

JAMES B. ADAMS,

Acting Forester.

SERVICE ORDER 4.
(Amends National Forest Order No, 23.)

SEPTEMBER 1, 1907.
Administrative Sites.

No site should be selected which is in whole or in part actually occupied or
used in good faith for agricultural or mining purposes or for a home, whether
the claim is legally valid or not, unless no other suitable tract is available for
the purpose in view. If such a tract is selected because no other tract is suit-
able that fact should be stated and explained in detail, and a report on the
claim, on the proper form, should accompany the recommendation for with-
drawal. All possible consideration should be shown to such occupants and
users, and for this purpose full report should be made of all facts as to the
occupancy; the kind, condition, and value of the improvements, and the good
faith of the claimant. The Forester will carefully consider the validity of the
claim and, even if it is technically invalid, the propriety of paying for the
improvements and securing a relinquishment, or of confining the site to the
unimproved portion of the claim. If there are no claims on the sites recom-
mended this fact should be stated'. Conflicts wTith homestead applications under
the act of June 11, 1906, should be avoided if possible. When they can not be
avoided they should be dealt with in the spirit of the above instructions.

JAMES B. ADAMS,

Acting Forester.

SERVICE ORDER 5.

SEPTEMBER 1, 1907.
Claims — Procedure.

1. Your attention is called to the circular of the General Land Office, dated
June 26, 1907, as to the contesting of land claims in National Forests. (Copy
annexed. )

(20)

21

2. The procedure authorized by the circular of June 20 does not displace that
hitherto in use. (See Use Book, pp. 32-39.) The Forest Service may proceed
by either method, at its option. The local land officers are required, in
accordance with the General Land Office circular of August 1, 1905 (copy
annexed), to furnish the Forest officers with a copy of the notice of intention to
make final proof.

3. Under ordinary circumstances the old procedure will be followed and the
supervisor's report upon the claim will be transmitted to the Forester and by him
to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, for appropriate action. If the
peculiar circumstances of any case make it necessary to initiate a contest before
the local land office, the supervisor should proceed under the circular of June 26.

4. The complaint under the circular of June 26 need not be under oath, but
it should be verified by the Forest officer, who should sign it and give his ad-
dress. It should describe the claim by section, township, and range, if surveyed ;
or by reference to fixed objects, if unsurveyed. If a filing has been made for
the claim, the number of the filing or entry should be given. The name and
address of the claimant should also be given. The complaint should state suf-
ficient facts to warrant the rejection of the claim and the cancellation of the
entry, if there is one.

5. Upon the filing of the complaint the local land officers will assume juris-
diction and take such action upon the complaint as the facts warrant. They
will issue all notices and direct all proceedings. The General Land Office cir-
cular of February 14. lt>0(j (copy annexed), will govern the proceedings taken in
such cases.

6. Forest officers are not authorized to incur any expense for the attendance
or milage of witnesses, for the service of notices, or for any other matter con-
nected with the contest. They should, however, upon request, assist in serving
notices and subpoenas issued by the local land officers in any proceedings taken
under this circular. Subprenas are not required to be served upon Forest offi-
cers in such cases. They will attend hearings, if possible, upon notice given
by the local land officers. If they can not attend they should so inform the
local land officers. Personal expenses for traveling and subsistence may be
incurred in the performance of these duties.

7. When a complaint is filed a copy should be immediately -transmitted to the
Forester with report upon the claim on Form 175, 654, or 655, and statements
of the evidence to be given by each witness for the Government. These state-
ments should, if possible, be in the form of affidavits signed and sworn to
before a Forest officer by the witnesses.

• 8. The affidavits or statements should set forth every material fact with
relation to the claim. The place where the affidavit is taken, and the name
and address of the affiant should be given, and it should be signed by the officer
before whom the affidavit is taken.

9. Forest officers should endeavor to obtain competent and reliable persons
to appear as witnesses in support of their findings. They should, upon request,
furnish to the local land officers the names and addresses of such witnesses, so
that subpoenas may be issued for their attendance at hearings.

10. If the Forest officer is unable to be present at the final proof and knows
the claim should not be passed to patent, whether he has so reported to the
Forester or not, he should, in addition to the questions to be furnished the
examining officer, as provided for in the Use Book, page 33, also file a com-
plaint against the acceptance of the final proof, instead of filing protest.

11. Forest officers should fully cooperate with the local land officers and the
special agents of the General Land Office in all matters relating to or affecting
the validity of claims to lands in the National Forests. They should furnish
them all information required in the proper conduct of proceedings upon their
reports, and if necessary should assist in making such supplemental examina-
tions as may be required in such proceedings.

12. In making examinations of mining claims the requirements of the Use
Book must be closely observed. In the examination of all agricultural claims
all absences should be carefully noted and the reasons for them given. If
possible an affidavit or statement should be obtained from the claimant to assist
the reviewing officers.

13. Reports on all kinds of agricultural claims should be made on Form 655,
with such changes as are necessary to show the facts. Great care should be
taken to fully state the character of the claim, whether it is a squatter claim,
location, filing, application, or entry. If an entry, the report should show
whether or not final certificate has issued and the number and date of issuance.

14. The success of the proceedings against claims will depend upon the show-

22

ing made by the Forest officers in their proofs and at the hearings. In order
to defeat a claim it will be necessary to clearly establish by a preponderance
of the evidence that the claimant has not complied with the Inw.

15. Claims against which action may be taken by examination and report to
the Forester, as hitherto practiced, or by complaint under the circular of June
26, include all assertions of right or title to land in National Forests whether
by the filing of an application, entry, location, or other writing, in the local land
office, county records, or elsewhere, or by posting notice on the ground, or by
occupancy or otherwise. If the Forest officer believes that the claimant settled
unlawfully upon lands withdrawn for National Forest purposes and is making
unlawful use of the lands claimed by him, or is injuring National Forest inter-
ests, action should be taken at once without waiting for notice of final proof.

DEPABTMENT OF THE INTEBIOR,

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,

June 26, 1907.
To Registers and Receivers and

Special Agents of the General Land Office:
The following circular is substituted for circular of May 3, 1907 :

1. A Government officer in charge of any National Forest may initiate a con-
test or other proceedings before the Land Department respecting the unlawful
occupation or use of land within a National Forest by reason of a claim made
thereto under any of the public land laws.

2. As a basis for such proceeding, such officer shall file, in the local land office
for the district in which the lands involved are located, a complaint signed by
him in his official capacity, but not under oath or corroborated, setting forth
facts respecting the alleged unlawful occupation or use of the public lands.

3. Upon filing of a sufficient complaint in any case in which final certificate
has not issued, the register and receiver will issue a notice with a copy of such
complaint attached thereto to the defendant, notifying him that unless he, within
thirty days from the receipt of such notice, files in their office a denial or answer
to such charges in writing and under oath, the truth of such charges will be
taken as confessed by him, and any entry, filing, or claim asserted to such land,
under the land laws by such party, may be declared forfeited or canceled with-
out further notice to him.

4. When a complaint has been filed respecting any claim upon which final
certificate has issued, or where denial under oath is filed in answer to a notice
issued under the preceding paragraph, the same will be at once forwarded to
the Commissioner of the General Land Office and the further progress of the
matter will be in accordance with the circular of February 14, 1906, defining
the manner of proceeding upon special agent's reports.

Final Proof on Claims Within Forest Reserves.
[CIRCULAR.]

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
Washington, D. C., August 1, 1905.
Registers and, Receivers, United States Land Offices:

GENTLEMEN : Attention is called to the following reissue of the circular of
April 8, 1905, with additions thereto suggested by the Forestry Bureau, Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The original circular is in full force and effect, the reissue

23

being deemed necessary to more fully emphasize the purpose of the original
circular.

(1) Hereafter you will, when issuing notice of intention to make final proof
upon claims, either mineral or nonmineral, within an established forest reserve,
furnish a copy thereof to the Forest Supervisor in charge of such reserve in
order that he may be enabled to be present at the taking of final proof to exam-
ine and cross-examine claimant and his witnesses, or may protest the passage
of the mineral application to entry, as the case may be. In the former case,
whenever the Supervisor may deem it necessary, the examination may be re-
duced to writing at the cost of the claimant, and made a part of the final proof
in that case. You will request the Forest Supervisor to make proper return of
the proof notice, to be made a part of the case with such notations thereon as he
may consider best.

i'2) You will carefully examine any proofs for claims within forest reserves,
whether mineral or nonmineral, together with any evidence furnished by the
Forest Supervisor or brought out by his examination, and either reject, suspend,
or approve the same according to the following directions :

(3) If sufficient facts appear upon the face of the record, you will reject the
final proof, advising claimant of your reasons therefor, with the right of appeal.
No further action thereon will be required from the Forest Supervisor.

(4) If you believe the proof to be fraudulent or doubtful, but do not have
sufficient reasons to justify its rejection, or if the Forest Supervisor has returned
the notice with a definite protest against the claim, you will suspend the proof
and submit a brief statement of the facts in the case to the special agent in
charge of the district in which said proof is made, such statement to include
the names and addresses of claimants and witnesses, and your reasons for the
suspension of the proof. You will forward the proof to this office with a copy
of your letter to the special agent. The special agent will then proceed to make
such investigation as he may deem necessary, and to submit his report on the
approved form. Upon the receipt of his report, appropriate action will be taken
upon the entire record as then made up.

(5) If you believe the proof to have been made in good faith and that the law-
lias been in all respects complied with, you will pass such proof to entry in the
regular order, upon compliance by the claimant with all the requirements
therein and on the payment of fees and commissions, but you will in no case
issue final certificate or pass a mineral application to entry when any definite
protest by a forest officer has been made against the claim.

(6) You will promptly notify the Forest Supervisor of whatever action you
take in every case.

(7) The names and addresses of Forest Supervisors will be furnished you by
this Office. Notices of claims in forest reserves in which there is no forest officer
in charge should be forwarded to the Forester, Agricultural Department, Wash-
ington, D. C.

Instructions — Manner of Proceeding upon Special Agents' Reports.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
Washington, D. C., February 14, 1906.
To Special Agents and Registers and Receivers, United States Land Offices:

The following rules are prescribed for the government of proceedings had
upon the reports of special agents of this Office. All existing instructions in
conflict herewith are superseded.

1. The purpose hereof is to secure speedy action upon special agents' adverse
reports upon claims to the public lands, and to allow entryman, or other claim-
ant of record, opportunity to file a denial of the charges against the entry or
claim, and to be heard thereon if he so desires.

2. Upon receipt of the special agents' report this Office will consider the same
and determine therefrom whether the charges, if true, would warrant the re-
jection or cancellation of the entry or claim.

24

3. Should the charges, if not disputed, justify the rejection or cancellation of
the entry or claim the local officers will be duly notified thereof and directed
to issue notice of such charges in the manner and form hereinafter provided
for, which notice must be served upon the entryman and other parties in interest
shown to be entitled to notice.

4. The notice must be written or printed and must state fully the charges as
contained in the letter of this Office, the number of the entry or claim, subdivision
of land involved, name of entryman or claimant or other known parties in
interest.

5. The notice must also state that the charges will be accepted as true, (a)
unless the entryman or claimant files in the local office within thirty days from
receipt of notice a written denial of said charges with an application for a
hearing, (ft) or if he fails to appear at any hearing that may be ordered in the
case. If the entryman or claimant applies for a hearing he may indicate
therein the time and place for such hearing, subject to the approval of the
local officers, the time to be not less than sixty days from date of his applica-
tion therefor.

6. Notice of the charges may be personally served upon the proper party by
the local officers at their office, but if this can not be done they will deliver the
notice to the special agent for service under the rules. If the special agent
can not secure personal service, notice may be served, upon sufficient showing
by the special agent or other qualified person, by publication. The register
will require such publication to be made under the rules.

7. If a hearing is asked for, the local officers will consider the same and
confer with the special agent relative thereto and fix the hearing for the date
and place stated in the application, if practicable under the rules, due notice
of which must be given entryman or claimant. The above notice may be served
by registered mail.

8. The special agent will duly submit, upon the form provided therefor, to
the receiver of public moneys, an estimate of the probable expense required on
behalf of the Government. The special agent will also serve subpoenas upon
the Government witnesses and take such other steps as are necessary to prepare
the case for prosecution.

9. The special agent must appear with his witnesses on the date and at the
place fixed for said hearing, unless he has reason to believe that no appearance
for the defense will be made, in which event no appearance on behalf of the
Government will be required. The special agent must, therefore, keep advised
as to whether the defendant intends to appear at the hearing.

10. If the entryman or claimant fails to apply for a hearing, or fails to
appear at the hearing ordered, without showing good cause therefor, such failure
will be taken as an admission of the truth of the charges contained in the
special agent's report and will obviate any necessity for the Government's sub-
mitting evidence in support thereof.

11. Upon the day set for the hearing and the day to which it may be continued
the testimony of witnesses for either party may be submitted, and both parties,
if present, may examine and cross-examine the witnesses, under the rules, the
Government to assume the burden of proving the special agent's charges.

12. If the entryman or claimant fails to apply for a hearing or to appear at a
hearing applied for, as provided in paragraph 10, or if .a hearing is had, as pro-
vided in paragraph 11, the local officers will render their decision upon the
record, giving due notice thereof in the usual manner.

13. Appeals or briefs must be filed under the rules but need not be served upon
the special agent, nor will the special agent file any appeal or brief unless
directed to do so by this office.

14. The above proceedings will be governed by the Rules of Practice. All
notices served on claimants or entrymen must likewise be served upon trans-
ferees or mortgagees, as provided in Rule 8£ of Practice.

W. A. RICHAKDS, Commissioner.

SERVICE NOTES FOR OCTOBER.

These notes contain instructions and necessary information for
Forest officers, and will therefore be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

INSPECTION.

Attention is called to the following changes in the "Instructions to Inspec-
tors," which was issued under date of June 5, 1907 :

SECTION VI. Uses, Paragraph 1, should read as follows: "A discussion of
each case of occupancy or right of way, whether granted by statute, by the
Department of the Interior, or by the Forest Service. From this sawmills
are excepted. They should be discussed under Section I — Timber Sales, as
Paragraph 6. Permits for pastures and wild hay are also omitted from this
section. They should be discussed under Section IV — Grazing, as Paragraph
5 (a)."

The language of the instructions, as originally issued concerning sawmills
and rights of way, is obscure. The words " except sawmills " should have been
put in parentheses in the original order. The reason they are excepted under
Uses is that sawmill permits are handled by the Office of Management. There
was no intention to except rights of way of any sort, no matter by whom
granted or permitted. Thus, rights of way for wagon roads built before the
Forest was created are granted by statute .without any filing in or approval by
the Department of the Interior; rights of way for railroads must be mapped
and approved by the Department of the Interior; rights of way for power
plants must be permitted by the Forest Service. The first two are permanent,
and the third is terminable at the discretion of the Forester, but all three should
be reported upon by Inspectors.

The exception of permits for pastures and wild hay is due to a recent change
by which these matters are handled in the Office of Grazing.

LAW.

Withdrawal for Necessary Use before Listing under Act of June 11, 1906 —
Examiners of lands applied for under the act of June 11, 1906. are reminded
that rights for logging roads and other uses necessary for the efficient adminis-
tration of the Forests may be withdrawn from all forms of entry in the same
manner as administrative sites are withdrawn. The withdrawal would not
cover the entire fee, but merely an easement to occupy the land for a road or
other specific administrative use, leaving the fee open to appropriation. After
the withdrawal the land over which the right of way passes may be listed under
the act of June 11 as one contiguous tract. It is essential that the withdrawal
should precede the listing. The examining officer should give the course and
distance of the road with accuracy and furnish with his recommendation for
withdrawal a correct plat and field notes.

An important case has recently arisen upon the Toquirna National Forest
invol-ving the right of the Forester to sell timber upon an invalid mining claim.
Guard Van Austin sold to Mr. Nanani 10 acres of dead wood from ground cov-
ered by a mining location. When the purchaser removed the wood, he was

(13)

14

arrested on the complaint of the claimant and charged with malicious mischief.
The charge was changed to petit larceny. The claimant and his attorneys admit-
ted that no discovery had been made, but asserted nevertheless a right to the
exclusive use of the surface. The Department of Justice instructed the United
States attorney for Nevada, by wire, to defend Mr. Nanani and secure his release
by writ of habeas corpus from the Federal court if necessary. An intent to
steal must be proved to maintain a prosecution for larceny. It is an established
principle of law that the taking of property under a claim of right is not lar-
ceny ; therefore, every timber purchaser from the Forest Service would be
secure against criminal prosecution, even if the claim from which the timber is
sold were valid. It is expected that the criminal case against Mr. Nanani will
be decided in his favor on this ground without a decision upon the necessity
of discovery as the foundation of a valid mining claim. The Statute (Rev.
Stat, Sec. 2320) provides expressly " but no location of a mining claim shall
be made until discovery of the vein or lode within the limits of the claim
located." The United States Attorney will probably make arrangements for a
civil suit to test this question if the claimant will admit in such a suit that
there has been in fact no discovery upon his claim.

It is the policy of the Department to protect purchasers and permittees of the
Forest Service to the fullest extent and to request the assistance necessary from
the Department of Justice for that purpose.

•AUGUST 31, 1907.
The FORESTER, Forest Service, Washington, D. (7.

SIR: My attention has been called to a letter, dated July 23, to Mr. G. S.
Arnold, Acting Law Officer of the Forest Service, from Mr. George V. Alexander,
of Republic, Wash., representing himself to be attorney for Ernest W. Grant,
in a case of timber trespass on the Colville National Forest, reported June 6,
1907. The letter is scurrilous and abusive. You are therefore instructed to
receive no communications from Mr. Alexander as attorney or agent in any
matter, and to transact no business with him as such attorney or agent until
you are otherwise instructed.

Please notify Mr. Alexander, Mr. Grant, and the proper officers of the Forest
Service of this action.

I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JAMES WILSON, Secretary.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Application for Advance Cutting —

The application form for advance cutting which appeared on page 20 of the
August Field Program has not been printed and will not be furnished on
requisition. Whenever it is necessary to apply for advance cutting the form
must in each case be typewritten in the .supervisor's office. This is necessary
in order to emphasize the fact that definite reasons must accompany each
application for advance cutting.

Equivalent of Board Feet —

All Forest officers in charge of Forests who have been authorized to make
Class B sales not to exceed a maximum of so many thousand feet B. M. should
interpret this to include material that is not measured by the board foot,
such as mining timbers, ties, shingle bolts, etc., to an amount approximately
equivalent to the specified number of feet B. M.

It has been shown by check scaling that too often all logs in the skidway are
not scaled. In one instance 20 were missed out of 136. Work of this kind
will not be tolerated and supervisors will be held strictly responsible. In all

15

sales where sealers are not regularly employed and where purchasers are
required to mark the log lengths on the small end it is imperative that the
Forest officer check up the number of logs in the skidway after scaling and see
that none have been missed.

Cardboard Rules for Mapping—

A supply of cardboard rules designed with reference to the Atlas Standard
is being sent out to all supervisors. It will be noticed that the scale on these
rules shows on one edge feet and on the other edge miles and chains. It is
believed that the new celluloid rule of this pattern will be of great assistance
in mapping on the National Forests.

Notice of Sale—

In every Class C sale which has been acted on during the past month an extra
copy of the notice of sale has been sent to the supervisor for his files. This has
been done to enable the supervisor to compare the printed notice with the notice
as sent from the Washington office, so that any mistakes which have been made
may be promptly discovered. If mistakes are found, they should be corrected
before the next issue of the paper, and the last date for receiving bids should
be made one week later. Forest officers should make every effort to obtain a
copy of the first issue of the paper containing the advertisement, FO that this can
be done. This is very important, since the timber must be properly advertised
before it can be sold.

Bid Envelope, Letters of Transmittal, and Deposits —

In a number of recent sales the bids received at the Washington office were not
inclosed in the formal envelope provided for this purpose and were not desig-
nated in accordance with the instructions in the notice of sale. Frequently the
deposit required by the notice to be sent to the Fiscal Agent when the bid is
submitted to the Forester is inclosed in the same envelope with the bid and with-
out a formal letter of transmittal. To avoid mistakes of this kind it is of the
utmost importance that the Forest officer furnish each prospective purchaser
with a prepared bid envelope and a formal letter of transmittal and instruct
him that the deposit should not be inclosed with the bid. Bidders should also
be told that their bids should be submitted promptly in order that they may be
received in Washington before the time fixed by the notice of sale as the last
day for receiving bids. Letters of transmittal which are prepared for pros-
pective bidders other than the applicant should not contain in the designation
the name of the original applicant, but should give only the date of the applica-
tion and the name of. the Forest.

Verbal Agreements —

Forest officers should not in any case change by verbal agreement the terms
of sales as set forth in the agreements. This is very important for two reasons :
First, if the change is made without the consent of the approving officer, it is
of no effect and therefore gives the purchaser just ground for dissatisfaction and
complaint ; and, second, where a bond has been given, any change of this kind
made without the written consent of the sureties releases them from their obliga-
tion. The following clause is now being inserted in all timber-sale agreements :
" The terms of the sale are completely set forth in this agreement and
can not be varied or modified except with the written consent of the
Forester. No Forest officer has or will be given authority for this
purpose."

OFFICE OF EXTENSION.

Report on Ranger Nurseries —

Superyisors should give prompt attention to returning Form 991 to the For-
ester accompanied by answer to circular letter SB of September 17. It is
exceedingly important to have a complete record in regard to this work, and if
supervisors have the data already at hand for filling out Form 991 they should
send in their reports at once.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Annual Reports —

The attention of supervisors is called to the importance of making their
reports on grazing immediately at the close of the summer grazing period, in
order that the Secretary of Agriculture may authorize grazing for the season
of 1908, and that information regarding grazing allowances, periods, and fees
may be given to the public at the earliest possible date. All reports should be
mailed to the Forester not later than December 1.

It is desired that all supervisors include in their reports a recommendation
regarding the protective (Class A) limit and the maximum limit mentioned
in the general information under Regulation 40. The protective limit should be
such a number of stock as small owners need to graze in connection with their
ranches to insure the successful establishment of homes, and such a number as
new settlers should be allowed a permit for. The maximum limit should be
from 4 to 10 times as large as the protective limit, according to local conditions,
and may be established with the understanding that persons now holding per-
mits for more than the limit may be allowed renewal for the number of stock
they are entitled to graze, but that no person, partnership, or corporation shall
be allowed to increase their permit above the maximum limit in the future.

19
BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Bangers' Carrying- Cases —

There have been forwarded to each supervisor a sufficient number of canvas
carrying cases to equip each ranger upon his Forest. The design and material
of these cases were adopted after careful deliberation, and will prove of great
value to rangers in their transaction of business in the field. Additional cases
may be procured upon requisition to the Forester.

Addresses —

Some delay has occurred in the delivery of articles to Forest officers, whose
headquarters are in large cities, because their local addresses were not known.
This could be avoided if the name of the building or street number were -inserted
in the requisitions.

Small Badges Available —

Small badges are available for distribution, and supervisors desiring to
exchange large badges for them should make requisition for the necessary num-
ber. When the badges are received the large ones should be returned to the
property clerk.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Special Uses —

Failure on the part of Forest officers to observe and follow the special-use
instructions and requirements in The Use Book and in the Circular of Instruc-
tions issued July 19, is becoming serious. It is absolutely necessary that all
Forest officers thoroughly familiarize themselves with such instructions and
requirements. The following are the most serious mistakes :

Failure to make complete reports of Form 964 and to mail the reports to the
Forester with the Forester's (original) copies of the permits.

Omission from many classes of permits, and particularly from pasture per-
mits, of the essential stipulations and conditions prescribed by the Circular of
July 19.

Failure to require witnesses to signatures of permittees, and to require
evidences of the authority of officers who execute agreements for corporations,
as prescribed on the back of Forms 946a and 946b.

The issuance of permits before the applicants make the required payments.

Failure to identify special-use transactions as required by The Use Book,
p. 166.

Failure to comply with the first paragraph under the subject " Dams,
Reservoirs, and Conduits," on page 8, Circular of July 19. The reports accom-
panying permits of this class should show that the Supervising Engineer of the
Reclamation Service has approved.

Amendment of Special-use Circular of July 19. — The Circular of Instructions,
Special Uses, issued July 19, is hereby amended by omitting the following clause
from page 13 :

No laborer or mechanic shall be employed more than eight hours in any
calendar day upon the construction or other work under this permit.

All Forest officers will please so amend their copies of the Circular.

Boundaries —

The President, on September 10, signed a proclamation creating the Tongass
National Forest in Alaska. The new Forest has an area of approximately
2,006,000 acres and is situated on the mainland, directly east of the southern
end of the Alexander Archipelago National Forest.

Upon the recommendation of Supervisor Langille, an elimination has been
made from the Chugach Forest. A strip 1 mile wide and about 30 miles long,
extending along the shore of the Valdez Arm of Prince William Sound, was
eliminated to avoid land difficulties incident to a railroad boom. The area
is nearly all timberless and contains approximately 33,000 acres. The Presi-
dent signed this proclamation on September 18.

Administrative Sites. — Whenever any portion of a National Forest is trans-
ferred from one district to another, the officer who assumes charge of the
transferred area should secure, from the officer previously in charge, a com-
plete list of all tracts which have been withdrawn therein for administrative
purposes, and should see to it that the withdrawals are properly made of record
in his office.

The attention of Forest officers is also invited to the importance of not only
making each case the subject of a separate communication (see instructions
upon this point in The Use Book, p. 132), but also the necessity of treating
each subject in a separate communication. For instance, the withdrawal of a
tract and the matter of acquiring the improvements thereon are separate sub-
jects, requiring separate communications in order to prevent confusion in the
files and records.

Claims —

Surveys of Squatter Claims. — In many cases the Forest Service might assist
bona fide settlers on unsurveyed lands by calling the attention of the General
Land Office to the necessity of surveys. Forest officers should remember this
and report such cases to the Forester, who will notify the Commissioner of the
General Land Office.

Supplemental Reports on Claims. — Inspectors, under their general authority,
may direct reexaminations and supplemental reports upon claims without
referring the question to the Forester, and they should direct such action when
in their judgment a report by a Forest officer on any claim is based on insuffi-
cient facts.

Improvements on Claims. — It is important that Forest officers, in reporting on
claims, ascertain and give the exact date when the claimant first placed upon his
claim such work and improvements as the law requires to evidence the claim-
ant's good faith and prior right to the land. In many instances claimants
attempt to make final proof who placed such improvements on the land long
after the time limited by the law.

Describing Lands in Correspondence. — In describing lands in all correspond-
ence Forest officers must say whether the township is north or south and
whether the range is east or west. They must also name the meridian. In
reporting upon claims Forest officers must name the land district in which the
claim is located.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Complaint has been made that in some cases game wardens and others are
securing the Service uniform. No one except members of the Forest Service
are authorized to wear this uniform. In order to avoid the securing of uni-
forms by unauthorized persons members of the Forest Service are requested,
when making orders, to state their titles and, in case of local Forest officers, to
submit orders through the supervisor.

The contract for furnishing the Service uniform is at present held by the
Pettibone Brothers Manufacturing Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. This company
states that the uniform made of the heavy weight or 22-ounce cloth will be
furnished at a special price of $10 for the coat and $6.50 for the trousers or
riding breeches. The company states that they are prepared to ship uniforms
within ten days after the receipt of measurements. Arrangements have been
made by the company by which measurements of men stationed at Washington
will be made without extra charge by Mr. G. E. Hebbard, 709 Ninth street NW.,
Washington, D. C.

Civil Service Examination for Clerk —

On November 1 an examination will be held by the Civil Service Commission
for the position of clerk in the Forest Service in the Western States and Terri-
tories. Printed circulars showing the character of the examination and the
places at which it will be held will be issued within a very short time. A copy
will be sent each supervisor by the Forester, and, in addition, the examination
will be advertised in the usual way by circulars sent out by the Civil Service
Commission. The examination will be held at all points in the National Forest
States and Territories at which civil service examinations are usually held for
any position. Stenography, typewriting, and examination along clerical lines
will be included. Supervisors who now have clerks holding temporary appoint-
ments should, in case they desire to retain the services of these clerks per-
manently, see that they make proper application to the Civil Service Commis-
sion and take this examination. It is probable that a sufficient number will be
certified to replace practically all the temporary clerks in supervisors' offices
by those eligible for permanent appointment. Supervisors are urged to bring
this matter to the attention of qualified persons desiring appointment to clerical
positions in the Forest Service in the West.

Schedule of Charges on Form 99 —

To insure a uniform distribution. of expenses upon all National Forests the
following schedule of charges should be observed in preparing Form 99. This
is supplemental to all instructions on the back of Form 99 and is intended to
cover items when doubt exists as to the proper charge :
Office signs to Headquarters.

Drayage, express, and freight to Heading against which articles trans-
ported are chargeable.

Stoves for ranger cabins and office stoves to Headquarters.
Expendable field equipment, such as files, ax handles, etc., to Adminis-
tration expenses.

Flag poles and fixtures to Headquarters.

Tacks and nails for signs and notices to Administration expenses.
Tools and equipment purchased for permanent improvement work may be
charged against the permanent improvement fund. Entry should be made on
Form 99 under the heading for which they are used — that is, " Headquarters,"
" Telephone lines," etc.

Supervisors in charge of more than one Forest should show on Form A and
Form 4 the Forest in connection with which each item of expense was incurred
for which payment or reimbursement is asked. Observance of this request will
greatly facilitate the auditing of accounts.

Full Use of Salary Allotments —

Supervisors should understand that they are entitled to make full use of their
salary allotments. In case it is not possible at one time to secure men to com-
plete the force allotted, additional men may later be recommended for appoint-
ment in order to utilize the full amount of money set aside for the payment of
salaries. Great care must be exercised, however, not to exceed this amount.
When recommending appointments in excess of the full summer force, atten-
tion must be called to the fact that the additional appointments are desired for
the purpose above stated.

As a result of discussion at the recent supervisors' meeting at Helena,
Mont., on the merits of the Rangers' Notebook, Form 874, the general opin-
ion of the supervisors present was that the forms are too small and the book
so unsatisfactory in many ways that its use should be discontinued. An
expression of opinion on the subject from officers in the field is desired.

Annual Banger Meetings.

The instructions in the paragraph headed "Annual Ranger Meetings," under
Regulation 1 (The Use Book, p. 26), are amended as follows:

Ranger meetings should be held, as far as possible, not in towns but on
the Forests. Meetings in the larger towns and cities should especially be
avoided.

Name of Forest on Supervisors' Letters to the Forester.

Hereafter, upon each letter written by a supervisor to the Forester will
appear, above the date line, the name of the Forest of which the supervisor is
in charge. In case a supervisor has more than one Forest, the name of the
Forest to which the subject-matter of the letter pertains should be used. Upon
requisition suitable stamps will be furnished to all supervisors who are not
already supplied with them.

SERVICE ORDER 8.

SEPTEMBER 27, 1907.

[Supplements National Forest Order No. 23, Part IV.]
Banger Station Selections in Forests where Sheep are Grazed.

The attention of supervisors and rangers is called to the necessity of select-
ing a sufficient number of ranger stations. It is not essential that all stations
be chosen with a view to securing a piece of agricultural land or a nursery
site, since many of the stations will be used only during the summer for pasture
purposes. In many cases Forest officers have been seriously handicapped by a
shortage of pasture toward the end of summer. This condition is most fre-
quently met with in Forests where sheep are grazed. As early as July 1 it is
often difficult to find suitable camping grounds which have not been made use-
less by sheep. When such conditions exist so early in the summer, it is quite
evident that later in the season Forest officers will be compelled to buy and
pack grain for their saddle stock. Numerous pastures and camping grounds
should be selected and the boundaries thoroughly posted, so that the herders
will keep their sheep away. When properly distributed, such pasture will
afford good grass for rangers' stock all the season.

Supervisors and rangers are therefore urgently requested to select numer-
ous small pastures and camping sites within the sheep range. Many of these
pastures need not exceed 40 acres in extent, and may very often be situated
within 2 miles of each other. A distance apart of more than 3 or 4 miles is
not desirable except when water or other essentials can not be found within
that distance.

When money and time are available, a number of these pastures can be
fenced. This will be a great convenience to the ranger force and also to herders
and packers, who may very properly be allowed to keep their horses in the
Service pastures.

SERVICE NOTES FOR NOVEMBER.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

LAW.

Grazing Trespass —

The following quotations are taken from Judge Carland's charge to the jury
in the case of United States v. R. E. Bale (Black Hills National Forest),
which was decided in the United States district court of South Dakota on
September 5, after a demurrer to the indictment had been overruled :

Under this authority, conferred by the act of Congress mentioned [act of
June 4, 1897, 30 Stat, 11], the Secretary of the Interior, and subsequently
the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, to whom the powers
vested formerly in the Secretary of the Interior have been transferred,
promulgated a rule to the effect that no person shall graze cattle upon
these forest reservations without first obtaining a permit from the proper
authority. It being perfectly competent for Congress to confer this power
upon the Secretary of the Interior, and subsequently to transfer it to the
Secretary of Agriculture, and the rule itself being within the power con-
ferred by the act of Congress upon these officers, it can not be said that
there was a delegation of legislative power by Congress to these officers,
for the reason that the act of Congress itself provides and fixes the pun-
ishment for the violation of the rule, and the offense is not created, as
contended by some, by the Secretary of Agriculture.

*******

A person would be held to graze cattle upon a forest reservation if he
knowingly drove cattle upon the same for that purpose, or if. knowing his
cattle are grazing upon such reservation, he allows them to remain there
without immediately removing them therefrom and thereafter keeping them
from returning thereto.

In this case, gentlemen of the jury, there is no claim that the defendant
ever procured any permit, and the question of the guilt or innocence of the
defendant in this case all turns upon the question as to whether he grazed
any cattle upon this forest reservation as charged in the indictment ; there-
fore the question in this case is, Did the defendant use all the means within
his power to keep his cattle off the reserve. If he did, and, notwithstanding
his efforts, his cattle escaped and went on the reserve he could not be said to
have grazed his cattle upon the reserve. On the other hand, if he know-
ingly drove the cattle on the reserve for grazing or negligently or carelessly
allowed his cattle to go upon the reserve to graze, and knowing them to be
there, did not use all the efforts -within his power to remove them therefrom
and keep them off, then he would be held to have grazed his cattle upon the
reservation.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty and the trespasser was fined $100 and
costs. This he paid at once and was thereupon released.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Class A Sales —

Attention is called to Regulation 24, page 63 of The Use Book. Super-
visors should not fail to recommend all Forest officers, to whom they desire that
authority be given, to make Class A sales. The price at which the timber is
to be sold in Class A and B sales is exceedingly important and Forest officers
should be guided by the instructions under " Prices " on page 75 of The Use
Book. Favorable prices obtained in Class C sales may be taken as a basis.

Hereafter a map will not be required in Class A sales of green timber where
the value is $20 or less, but one should, in each case where the value of the tim-
ber exceeds $20, be prepared and filed in the proper folder as before.

Advertised Class B Sales —

The circular of instructions which was issued on the method of handling
advertised Class B sales, through an oversight, does not require supervisors to
send to the Forester copies of the application, map, timber estimate, and forest
description, and rules for marking. It was intended that this should be required
by the instructions, and supervisors are requested to forward copies of these
papers as soon as prepared.

Free Use —

In the reprint of The Use Book, Regulation 22, page 50, will read as follows :

All free-use material may be sawed, and all except green saw timber
may be cut for the permittee by an agent, but the work so done must not
be paid for by a share of the material. When a permittee is physically
incapable of doing the work, he may hire an agent to cut green saw timber,
but can not pay fpr the work by a share of the material.

This is a slight change in the wording of the regulation as it appeared in
the first issue of The Use Book. It is not intended by this regulation, as it
first appeared, that persons physically incapable of doing the work can pay
for it with a share of the material, but simply that they can hire the work
done. It is necessary, of course, that payment should be made otherwise than
with a part of the material. A few of the officers seem to have misunderstood
this regulation.

Extension of Time in Timber Sales—

Before granting an extension of time in Class A or B timber-sale contracts,
supervisors should consider carefully the current stumpage rates. A reasonable
time should be allowed in the original contract for the cutting and removal
of the timber, and, as a rule, the stumpage should be raised to the current
price if an extension of time is allowed.

Information of Informal Applications —

When informal applications for large amounts of timber are received, super-
visors are requested to inform the Forester promptly in order that timber-sale
men may, if advisable, be detailed temporarily to assist in preparing the timber
estimate and forest description.

16

Sales in Excess of $100 —

The authority to approve sales in excess of $100 which has recently been
granted to the supervisors of some Forests must not be construed to apply to
any Forest officer other than the one named in the authorization.

Brush Burning —

Experience has proven that the kerosene torch is the most satisfactory device
for brush burning. This torch should be of the stationary type and made to
hold approximately one quart.

All Forest officers in charge, who expect to burn much brush this season,
should purchase at their earliest convenience as many of these torches as may
be necessary for the prompt completion of the work.

Error in Use Book Corrected —

The word " calendar " in the first line on page 158 of " The Use Book " should
be corrected to read " fiscal."

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

Applications for Leave of Absence —

The attention of supervisors is called to the correct manner of making appli-
cation for leaves of absence. Requests should be made to the Forester in
advance by letter or telegram, but leave slip Form 785 should not be filled out
until after the supervisor has returned to duty. It is very essential that these
directions be observed, since supervisors are not notified of action taken upon
requests submitted upon leave slips only. It is understood that telegrams asking
for leave and replies granting leave must be sent at the expense of the super-
visor.

18

Attention is called to the fact that some supervisors have granted to rangers
leave without pay in excess of 30 days. Supervisors have authority to grant
to rangers and guards 15 days' annual leave with pay and 30 days' leave without
pay in any one calendar year. If a furlough of more than 30 days is desired,
the matter should be taken up with the Forester. Annual and sick leave and
leave without pay, not in excess of 30 days, taken by rangers should be noted
on Form 143, and it is not necessary to forward leave slips to this office.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Compasses —

The demand for the new standard compass, which has been adopted in lieu
of the Brunton and surveyor's compasses, is so great that the manufacturers,
even by working their force overtime, are unable to furnish them rapidly enough
to fill all requisitions promptly. Partial deliveries are being made from time to
time, and it hoped that all requisitions now in hand will be filled by Novem-

Calendar Pads for 1908 —

Calendar pads for 1908 will be forwarded without request to each inspector
and supervisor by December 15. Those officers who have not been furnished
with frames for holding these pads should make request for them at once.

Requisitions for Supplies —

To each supervisor has been forwarded a list of standard articles of furni-
ture, equipment, and office supplies obtainable from Washington on requisition.

The attention of members of the Service is called to the fact that some arti-
cles of furniture and equipment are not complete in themselves. For example,
when a camera is requested the requisition should specify whether case, tripod,
tripod case, and focusing cloth are also desired. When requesting marking
axes, hatchets, or hammers, the number of leather cases desired should be
specified.

Two kinds of loose-sheet indexes for section No. 3 of the standard filing-case
are furnished. Requisitions for additional sections or for loose-sheet transfer
cases should always specify the number and kind of indexes desired.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Claims —

Supervisors forwarding reports (on Form 4-310a, letter C) to the Forester
on claims, based on requests by the Commissioner of the General Land Office
and referred to them by the Forester, should be careful in every case to return
the Commissioner's letter, attached to the report. There have been frequent
omissions to do this on the part of the Forest officers.

The Commissioner of the General Land Office has informed the Forester that
he has directed all local land officers to notify supervisors, at their headquar-
ters, of all cancellations of entries, filings, or selections within the limits of
National Forests. The registers are instructed to indorse upon all relinquish-
ments of entries within National Forests the date and name of the person to
whom the notice is given. The order directs that the notice of cancellation is
to be given to supervisors, whether such cancellation results from contest,
special agent's report, expiration of statutory period, or other cause.

Because of its importance the attention of Forest officers is again called to
the notice appearing in the Field Program for August :

Many inquiries are being received from the General Land Office concern-
ing claims in the National Forests upon which final proof has been made, of
which the Forest Service has received no report from the supervisor. For-
est officers should forward reports promptly upon any claims they have
examined or of which they have received notice that final proof has been
offered, so that they may be submitted to the General Land Office with
appropriate recommendation. (See Service Order No. 5, Field Program for
September, 1907.)

Special Uses —

Supervisors having charge of more than one forest should be careful in desig-
nating cases to give the forest in which the land involved is located. Failure
to do this causes considerable confusion in the office of the Forester.

Permits, without charge, may be issued by supervisors to grazing permittees
for cabins to be used entirely in connection with caring for stock.

No charge will be made for special-use permits granted to persons who are
purchasers of timber from the United States in any case where the permit is to
be used in connection with the removal of timber so purchased.'

Boundaries —

All reports on lands applied for under the act of June 11, 1906, should be for-
warded by the examiner to the supervisor of the Forest in which the lands
applied for are situated. The supervisor should forward reports to the chief
inspector. (See page 7, circular dated July 17, 1907, Agricultural Settlement.)
Supervisors and chief inspectors will please be careful to see that this is done,
since it frequently happens that reports reach the Forester without having been
approved by both the supervisor and the chief inspector.

Applications under Act of June 11, 1906 —

Chief inspectors and supervisors will hereafter be sent township plats (Form
974), notifying them of the receipt of new applications under the act of June 11,
1906. This plat will contain the series number of the National Forest, the appli-
cant's name, post-office address, date of receipt of application, and the descrip-
tion of the land as given by the applicant. If the land is surveyed, the legal
subdivisions will be indicated upon the township diagram, and if unsurveyed, the
location of the areas as described by the applicant will be written on the back
of the plat.

Notice of change in applications already of record — as when an application
has been amended, withdrawn, or rejected, or the land has been listed — will be
promptly furnished the supervisors and chief inspectors by means of carbons
of the letters to the applicants.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Appointments by Telegraph —

Some supervisors are not observing the instructions given in the circular letter
of September 10 concerning confirmation, by mail, of telegrams giving names of
persons recommended for appointment. In order that there may be no failure
to mail to the Forester a copy of every telegram of this character, supervisors

20

are requested to add to all such telegrams the word " confirmed." The Forester
will understand from this that a copy of the telegram is being mailed. So
many mistakes in names have occurred in telegrams that it is found necessary to
await confirmation by mail before recommendation for appointment is made to
the Secretary of Agriculture.

Proclamation and Boundary Diagrams —

Supervisors should understand that they can secure at any time additional
copies of proclamations or boundary diagrams upon request to the Forester.
In a great many cases boundary diagrams are better than proclamations for
distribution among users of the Forests.

Acknowledgment of Fire Warnings —

Upon a good many Forests settlers have rendered and are rendering signal
service by reporting fires, fighting fires, and in other -ways. In such cases it
would be a graceful and a helpful thing if letters of thanks could go to these men
from the Forester. Supervisors are requested to bear this in mind and to make
report in cases where they think such action should be taken.

Flags for District Rangers —

Supervisors should see that flags are furnished all district rangers and that
these flags are hoisted whenever the ranger is at home. Additional flags for
this purpose will be furnished upon requisition to the Forester.

Books for Information of Forest Users —

Rangers should in a good many cases be furnished by supervisors with a
supply of Use Books and Red Books for distribution among the users of the
Forest residing in and near the rangers' districts. Additional supplies of these
will be sent supervisors upon requisition.

Bangers' Drafting Tables —

Specifications and plans have been prepared for the construction of a table
for the use of rangers. It is very desirable that all permanent ranger quarters
be equipped with tables for drafting and other office work, and these specifica-
tions have been prepared and blueprinted with a view to aiding supervisors
as much as possible in attaining this end.

Where new quarters are planned it may be found desirable to include in the
bill of material lumber for a table and thus lessen the cost. Copies of these
plans and specifications will be sent to supervisors upon request, and they are
urged to push the matter vigorously. Where a number of tables are needed on
a single Forest, it may be advisable in some cases to let a contract to a local
carpenter. Bids are not required unless the amount involved exceeds $50.

Permanent Banger Districts —

Permanent ranger districts should be established as rapidly as possible and
the same ranger kept on the same district as far as this is practicable. Upon
some forests there is a tendency to waive the district scheme and to assign
rangers to specific lines of work rather than to specific localities. This practice
should be avoided.

LAW.

On October 31 in the United States court for the district of Alaska, judg
ment was rendered ejecting Lyinan A. Plumley from premises in the Alexander
Archipelago National Forest occupied by him for saloon purposes. Costs were
awarded in favor of the Government. The trespasser was occupying a mill-site
location which was canceled by the Secretary of the Interior May 12, 1903
(32 L. D., 128), and resisted all efforts of the Forest officers to prevent the sale
of liquor upon Government property. The same judgment was rendered against
Orenshaw and Moffat, who occupied another site under like circumstances.
Suit was begun in these cases October 5, 1906. These judgments will have a
salutary effect upon the pending cases involving saloon trespasses throughout
the United States.

Charge for Hydro-electric Power Plants —

The legality of the proposed charge for hydro-electric power plants on the
National Forests is sustained by the following opinion of the Attorney-General
(26 Op., 421) :

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,

Washington, October 5, 1907.
The Honorable, The SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

SIR : — I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of August
"13 last past, requesting an opinion from me in regard to your authority to
make a " conservation charge " as a condition for permits to use lands or
resources within the limits of the National Forest reserves. The specific ques-
tions propounded by you are whether you- have authority, in making such
charges, to include a reasonable compensation —

1. For the use of the ground occupied by any reservoirs, diverting dams,
or power stations, according to their area, without regard to its special
value for the particular purpose contemplated by the permit.

2. For the right of way of any canal, flume, pipe, or pole line, according
to its length, without regard to its special value for the particular purpose
contemplated by the permit.

3. For " conservation," by which is meant all other advantages, oppor-
tunities, resources, or services, furnished by the Government to the per-
mittees, or damage suffered by it through the enjoyment of the permit ; or,
in other words, the special value of the land occupied by the permittee for
the particular purpose contemplated by the permit in excess of its value
for general purposes.

These permits are authorized by the act of February 15, 1901 (31 Stats., 790),
of which the material portion is as follows :

TJic Secretary of the Interior * * * is authorized and empowered,
under general regulations to ~be fixed by Mm to permit the use of rights of
way through the public lands, forests, and other reservations of the United
States, and the Yosemite, Sequoia, and General Grant National parks, Cali-
fornia, for electrical plants, poles, and lines for the generation and distribu-

13

14

tion of electrical power, and for telephone and telegraph purposes, and for
canals, ditches, pipes and pipe lines, flumes, tunnels, or other water conduits,
and for water plants, dams, and reservoirs used to promote irrigation or
mining or quarrying, or the manufacturing or cutting of timber and lumber,
or the supplying of water for domestic, public, or any other beneficial uses
to the extent of the ground occupied by such canals, ditches, flumes, tunnels,
reservoirs, or other water conduits or water plants, or electrical or other
works permitted hereunder, and not to exceed fifty feet on each side of the
marginal limits thereof, or not to exceed fifty feet on each side of the center
line of such pipes and pipe lines, electrical, telegraph, and telephone lines
and poles, by any citizen, association, or corporation of the United States,
where it is intended by such to exercise the use permitted hereunder of any
one or more of the purposes herein named : Provided, That such permits
shall be allowed within or through any of said parks or any forest, military,
Indian, or other reservation only upon the approval of the chief officer of
the Department under whose supervision such park or reservation falls and
upon a finding by him that the same is not incompatible with the public
interest : Provided further, That all permits given hereunder for telegraph and
telephone purposes shall be subject to the provisions of title sixty-five of the
Revised Statutes of the United States, and amendments thereto, regulating
rights of way for telegraph companies over the public domain : And pro-
vided further, That any permission given by the Secretary of the Interior
under the provisions of this act may be revoked by him or his successor in
his discretion, and shall not be held to confer any right, or easement, or
interest in, to, or over any public land, reservation, or park.

By section 1 of the act approved February 1, 1905 (33 Stats., 628), it is pro-
vided that —

The Secretary of the Department of Agriculture shall, from and after the
passage of this act, execute or cause to ~be executed all laws affecting public
lands heretofore or hereafter reserved under the provisions of section
twenty-four of the act entitled "An act to repeal the timber-culture laws,
and for other purposes, approved March third, eighteen hundred and ninety-
one, and acts supplemental to and amendatory thereof, after such lands
have been so reserved, excepting such laws as affect the surveying, pros-
pecting, locating, appropriating, entering, relinquishing, reconveying, certi-
fying, or patenting of any of such lands."

Section 5 of the same act is as follows :

That all money received from the sale of any products or the use of any
land or resources of said forest reserves shall be covered into the Treasury
of the United States, and for a period of five years from the passage of this
act shall constitute a special fund, available until expended as the Secretary
of Agriculture may direct for the protection, administration, improvement,
and extension of Federal forest reserves.

It appears to me that in so far as the questions relevant to your inquiry are
questions of law they have been determined by the opinion of my predecessor,
furnished to you on May 31, 1905. (25 Op., 470.) In that opinion Attorney-
General Moody says:

Under the act of 1897 you are simply directed to so regulate the occupancy
and use of these reservations as to insure the objects thereof and preserve
the forests thereon from destruction. The act contains nothing inconsistent
with the making of a reasonable charge on account of the use of the
reserves under the permit granted by you. By the act of 1905 you are to
cover into the Treasury money received from the " use of any land or
resources " of the reservations, which " shall constitute a special fund
* * * for the protection, administration, improvement, and extension of
the Federal forest reserves." Any sums of money realized in this connection
would thus tend to preserve the forests and insure the objects of reserva-
tions, and it might therefore be contended that Congress in authorizing you
to regulate their use and occupation considered the incidental question of
charging for their use a proper subject to be left to your judgment and
discretion. That such was the Congressional intent finds support in the
fact that services somewhat analogous to compensation have been required
for several years without any indication of a disapproval thereof on the
part of Congress.

15

Furthermore, your power to prohibit absolutely the use or occupation of
any forest reserve, when such action is deemed by you essential to insure
its objects and preserve the forests from destruction, would probably be
unquestionable, and that the authority to prohibit carries with it the right
to attach conditions to a permission is well established. (22 Opin., 13, 27.)

In answer to your third question, therefore, I have to advise you that, in
my opinion, you are authorized to make a reasonable charge in connection
with the use and occupation of these forest reserves whenever, in your
judgment, such a course seems consistent with insuring the objects of the
reservation and the protection of the forests thereon from destruction.

The question under consideration in that case was whether you had authority
to make a reasonable charge as a condition of a permit under the act approved
June 4, 1897 (30 Stats., 35), which authorized the Secretary of the Interior to —

Make such rules and regulations and establish such service as will insure
the objects of such reservations, namely, to rc</nlate their occupancy and use
and to prevent the forests thereon from destruction.

It will be observed that neither of these acts conferred upon the Secretary of
the Interior expressly any authority to make a charge of any kind as a condi-
tion of granting the permits which they respectively authorized. It was held,
however, by Attorney-General Moody that such authority was implied in the
power conferred upon the Secretary by the act of 1897 to grant or refuse the
permits, in his discretion, and the act of 1905 was referred to as substantially
a legislative recognition of this -authority on his part. If, however, the act of
1897 conferred upon the Secretary of the Interior — and, therefore, afterwards,
upon the Secretary of Agriculture — the authority, in his discretion, to require
payment of a reasonable charge as a condition of issuing any such permits as
are authorized by the said act, it seems to me quite clear that the act of 1903,
.above quoted, conveys the like authority. The language of the later act appears
to me more explicit than that of the former, and the intention of the Congress
to leave the privileges granted under that act revocable in the discretion of the
Secretary, as is expressly stated in the last proviso, above quoted, of the act of
1901, seems to be more nearly consonant with a purpose to intrust to his discre-
tion all matters connected with the granting of such permits than is any relevant
provision to be found in the act of 1897. I .conclude, therefore, that you are
authorized by the act of 1901 to make the granting of permits for the purposes
contemplated by that act dependent upon the payment, by the persons receiving
such permits, of such charges as you may deem reasonable for the purposes
contemplated by the law.

Whether charges based upon the three grounds specifically enumerated in
your letter requesting an opinion would or would not be reasonable is not,
under the circumstances of this case, a question proper to be determined by
this Department, but a matter left by the law entirely to your discretion. In
Riverside Oil Company v. Hitchcock (190 U. S., 325), referred to in the opinion
of Attorney-General Moody, above quoted, the court says : " The responsibility,
as well as the power, rests with the Secretary, uncontrolled by the courts." This
would seem to be no less true as to the question presented in the present case.

It may be well for me to say, however, that I do not think it clear, as seems
to be assumed in some of the papers forwarded with your letter, that no charge
can be made for water used by persons to whom permits may be granted under
the act approved February 15, 1901. Such persons, independently of their per-
mits, would have no right or authority to appropriate the waters within the
forest reserves ; at all events, for such a purpose as the production of electric-
power. It is true that the Congress and the courts have recognized a right to
appropriate water on the public lands under State laws or local customs, but
lands within the forest reserves are not covered by general statutes referring to
the -public lands; and the right to use water on such reserves can be secured,
it would seem, only under the provisions of the act approved June 4, 1897, and
of other legislation specifically referring to the reserves, unless, perhaps, such
rights existed before the particular reserve in question was created. I do not,
however, consider it necessary to express a positive opinion on this subject, since
I understand from your letter that you do not intend to consider the value of
the mere use of the water itself in fixing the compensation to be paid as a
condition of permits for its use.

I advise you, therefore, in conclusion, that, in my opinion, you have the right
to make what you believe to be a reasonable charge, as a condition of issuing

16

permits tinder the act of February 15, 1901, and that your determination is
decisive as to what charge is, or is not, reasonable for such purpose.
I remain, sir, yours, very respectfully,

CHARLES J. BONAPARTE,

Attorney-General.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Extension of Time in Timber Sales —

In Class A and unadvertised Class B sales extensions of time should be
granted only in writing and a copy of the letter should in each case be for-
warded to the Forester for information.

Whenever an extension of time is desired in an advertised sale, an application
should be made in accordance with the form given below. If necessary, in the
judgment of the supervisor, it may also be required in sales of less than $100.
This form may be approved by supervisors in A and B sales, but a copy in each
case should be forwarded to the Forester. In Class C sales two copies of the
application should be submitted to the Forester for approval. In all sales in
which bonds have been given the supervisor should write to the Forester for
proper forms.

APPLICATION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME.

John Jones. Timber sale.
July 2, 1900. Shawnee.

I, John Jones, of Shawnee, Kansas, purchaser of the timber in the above-
designated case, by a contract signed in duplicate by me on - — , 190-, and
approved by the - — , - — , 190-, under the terms of which I was allowed

(Title of approving officer.)

- year — from - — , 190-, for the cutting and removal of said timber,
respectfully request an extension of time to — — , 190-, within which to com-
plete the cutting and removal of said timber.

If this application is approved I do hereby, in consideration of said extension
of time, promise and agree to cut and remove said timber in strict accordance
with all and singular, the rules and regulations of the aforesaid contract, and,
further, to pay for all timber not removed from the National Forest during the

time specified in said contract at the rate of $ per - — , in advance

(M ft., B. M., etc.)
payments, as set forth in said contract.

Signed in duplicate this - - day of , 190-.

Witnesses :

• ' (Title.)

If an increase in price is not considered necessary, the clause "and further
to pay for all timber * * * contract " should be omitted and the word
" provisions " should be inserted after the word " rules," so that the form will
read " the rules, provisions, and regulations of the aforesaid contract."

Advertised Class B Sales —

The attention of the supervisors who have been authorized to advertise Class
B sales is called to the fact that the amount of timber which can be advertised
under the authorization is limited to the amount named in the letter of
authority, whether the timber is advertised under a general notice or in response
to an application. Furthermore, the authority is given to the person named in
the letter and does not go with the office, so that a Forest officer who is in charge
of the office during the supervisor's absence is not authorized to advertise under
the supervisor's letter of authority.

In making advertised Class B sales in which the board foot is not the unit
of scale, supervisors should be sure that the amount included in the sale is not
in excess of the amount they have been authorized to sell. For instance, when
it becomes necessary to convert board measure into cord measure or vice versa,
a cord should be considered equivalent to 500 feet, B. M.

Form of Timber Sale Applications —

All applications for timber should be piepared, as nearly as possible, in the
form which will be followed in the final contract, since this gives to purchasers,
from the beginning of the transaction, an idea of just what will be required of
them. The contracts sent out in Class C sales should be used as models, so far
as applicable.

Entries in Scale Books —

Forest officers in charge of timber sales should make all entries directly in
the scale books and not transfer them from notebooks or from cards. This-
practice has arisen from a desire to keep the books clean, but is not advisable,
owing to the chance of error in making such transfers. It is better to have the
original record in the scale book, even at the sacrifice of neatness.

Sawmills —

Clause C, under Regulation 10, page 44, of the Use Book, is amended by
striking out the second line. This correction will appear in the next reprint of
the Use Book. It is intended that supervisors may not issue permits for saw-
mills of the capacity of more than 20,000 feet B. M. per day, regardless of
whether or not such mills are being operated in connection with a sale of
National Forest timber.

Publication of Advertisement—

The number of publications of a notice of sale, under the Secretary's letter
of authority, must not exceed five, the number named in the letter of authority,
since the publishers' account can not be allowed for more than that number.
When it is necessary to correct serious errors in a notice, the last day for receiv-
ing bids should be made thirty days from the date of the first appearance of the
corrected notice, so that a full periou of thirty days will be allowed for sub-
mitting bids. The number of publications should not, however, be increased.
In Class B sales, also, the number of publications should not exceed five.

Ranger Nursery Reports —

In many of the ranger nursery reports submitted by supervisors tbe num-
ber of seedlings ljas been omitted. Under "Plant Material," on Form !K)1,
there is a heading " Seedlings," and under this should be given the number of
seedlings grown from seed sown in the spring of 1007. Supervisors who have
omitted this item iu submitting their report should at once send in another
form including it.

OFFICE OF SILVICS.

"New Forest Literature —

The publication of lists of new forest literature in the Field Program will
be discontinued for the present. Mimeographed lists will be prepared each
month, however, to be distributed throughout the various offices of the Service.

Books for the Use of Rangers —

The attention of rangers is called to the branch libraries for the use of field
men in the offices of supervisors. Now that the winter season is coming on.
when there will be less out-door work on the Forests, it is hoped that all rangers
will avail themselves of the opportunity for reading and study offered by these
libraries.

Public Land Laws and Regulations —

Any supervisor who desires to place a bound volume of public laws and regu-
lations in the hands of each ranger under his direction will be provided with
enough copies for this purpose by applying to the Forester.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Crossing Permits —

Recent inspections of various Forests have developed the fact that persons
wishing to drive stock across a Forest are greatly handicapped, and sometimes
seriously delayed, by reason of the failure of the supervisor to authorize rangers
to issue crossing permits over properly approved and recognized routes of travel,
according to the provisions of Regulation 59.

It is desirable to simplify and facilitate the crossing business as much as
possible, and to attain this end supervisors are requested to delegate to all
properly qualified rangers the authority to issue crossing permits allowing stock
to be driven over all regular driveways and commonly recognized routes.
Rangers issuing crossing permits should furnish the supervisor with two copies —
one for the files of his office and the other for transmission to the Forester. It
is expected that supervisors will take the fullest advantage of the authority
granted by Regulation 59, and thus reduce to the minimum the delay incidental
to crossing a Forest.

New Herder's Identification Card—

A new Herder's Identification Form 97(5 has been received from the printer
and a limited supply sent to supervisors. Additional supplies will be furnished

19

upon requisition, and supervisors are requested to promptly order what they
will need, so that they may he supplied before the opening of the next grazing
season.

Payment of Grazing Fees —

The attention of Forest officers is called to the change which was made on
July 1 under Regulation 49 in reference to the time when payment of grazing
fees is required. Under the old regulation the payment was due " thirty days
after the receipt of the notice," whereas under the new regulation it need not
be made until " thirty days before the beginning of the grazing period."

The reason for this change is to provide that action may be taken upon graz-
ing applications as far in advance of the date for the beginning of the grazing
period as possible, so that the stockmen may be informed in regard to how
much of their stock will be allowed to graze upon the National Forest ranges.
Only the new Form 762, which contains the above provision, should be used in
sending out notice to grazing applicants for the season of 1908.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Registration of Official Mail-
Under a decision of the Attorney-General of the United States, the official
mail of agents of the Executive Departments, except officials temporarily absent
from Washington, is not entitled to free registration. Members of the Forest
Service assigned to work outside of Washington will pay the regular fee when
registration of mail is necessary, and submit the post-office receipts with accounts
for reimbursement.

Returning Supplies to the Property Clerk —

Many packages have been received by the property clerk from members of the
Service in the field without any mark of identification either on or within the
package. It is absolutely essential that a memorandum should be inclosed with
the shipment, so that a proper record may be kept.

Rangers' Tabl«

The specifications for rangers' tables have been modified with regard to the
class of material and construction. The table may be constructed of selected
lumber of any suitable kind, rather than of selected white and yellow pine.
Ordinary screws may be used, and the corners of the drawer may be nailed or
glued instead of dovetailed. It is considered that tables of such material and
construction will answer every purpose fully, and should be secured at a much
more reasonable price than the tables called for by the original specifications.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Special Uses —

The following circular letter regarding applications for special uses has been

sent to supervisors :

NOVEMBER 15, 1907.
To Forest Supervisors:

Since the transfer of pasture, drift-fence, and hay-sale cases from the Branch
of Operation to the Branch of Grazing, as announced in the September Field
Program, it has become necessary to insist upon a strict observance of the
rule that " each application should cover one use only."

The following kinds of special-use cases will be handled by the Branch of
Grazing :

Corrals, dipping vats.

Pastures, drift fences.

Windmills, watering troughs.

Cabins, free of charge for persons engaged in handling stock grazed

under permit.

Stock shelters, free of charge in connection with pastures.
Hay sales.

All other kinds of special-use cases except sawmills, which are handled by
the Branch of Silviculture, will be handled by the Branch of Operation.

Supervisors will also note that specific authority granted in exceptional cases
not covered by the general regulations is limited to such cases only and must
not be applied to others, and therefore special authority must first be obtained
from the Forester before specific exceptions are made by the supervisor.

C. S. CHAPMAN,
Acting Assistant Forester.

The Forest Service is informed that, owing to lack of funds to pay the cost
of advertising, the Secretary of the Interior is unable to open to settlement and
entry any more of the lands listed under the act of June 11, 190G, until Congress
has made an appropriation for that purpose. It becomes of the utmost impor-
tance, therefore, that the supervisors inform persons entitled to free permits
under the instructions of the Use Book (pp. 42-13) of the manner in which such
permits may be obtained, and give permittees advice and assistance necessary to
the use and enjoyment of their permits until the lands may be opened to settle-
ment and entry.

Forest officers should remember that certain special-use cases may be closed
by them without authority from the Forester. See the Use Book, page 49.

A form of agreement is being prepared and will be sent to supervisors for
use in issuing special-use permits authorizing the connection of private tele-
phones with lines maintained by the Forest Service.

In several of the National Forests springs are found which are of great value
for summer-resort and sanatorium uses. Supervisors should be particularly
careful before issuing any permits which would affect the use of such springs to
bring the matter to the attention of the Forester.

Claims —

It is extremely important that Service Order 5 be more faithfully observed,
especially in securing proof where the recommendation is unfavorable to the
claim. In such cases the Forest officer should make a full and complete state-
ment. Every questior? should be fully answered if possible. If it can not be
answered, the fact should be stated. Every- detail should be given in full and

21

with definiteness. Such statements as " absent part of the time/' or " occasional
absence," are of no value whatever as a basis for the Forester's recommenda-
tion.

The General Land Office insists that a report must be accompanied by the
names and post-office addresses of witnesses and the substance of the matters
to which they would testify if called upon at a hearing. The showing must be
sufficient, if established to be true at a hearing, or other proceedings had, to
warrant the cancellation of the entry or the rejection of the claim. If wit-
nesses are not available, the fact should be stated. The ranger or guard, and the
supervisor, should embody in the report a statement of the facts and conditions
showing noncompliance with the law to which they are competent to testify at
a hearing, should one be had.

Forest officers, in reporting on claims under the timber and stone act of 1878,
should remember that the essential facts to be made clear are (1) whether the
application, or s\vorn statement, was filed prior to the date of the withdrawal of
the land for National Forest purposes; (2) whether the final proof and cash
payment were made within the time required by law, and (3) whether the
claim, or entry, was made for the exclusive benefit of the claimant, or, if they
believe the claim or entry to have been made at the instance or in the interests
of another, or a company, to state their own knowledge of the facts, or any
information which justifies their belief, and the names and post-office addresses
of reliable witnesses and brief abstracts of their testimony.

If the Forest officer has complete cover data available, an examination of the
land need not be made, except where it is believed that title to the laud is
being sought for another purpose.

In many cases no response has been received from calls made for several
months past for reports on claims. If Forest officers can not make prompt
report, they should inform the Forester and give reasons for delay.

The name of the land district should invariably be given in reports on claims.

Supervisors should keep themselves supplied with the latest editions of forms
654 and G55, and form 175 for reporting on mill-site claims.

Many reports on claims, on form 655, have been received from the supervisors,
in which under paragraph 16, after recommending cancellation of the entry or
adverse action, the statement is made that the tract is desirable for a ranger
station or administrative site, or that in the event of the cancellation or setting
aside of the claim the land should be withdrawn for such purposes.

The fact that land covered by an entry or claim might be useful for a ranger
station or administrative site can have no influence on the recommendation of
the Forester or the action of the General Land Office. Where any such tract
is desired for an administrative site, the recommendation should not be made
in the report on the claim, but a separate report, in proper form, should be
submitted.

22

Boundaries —

Since many requests for administrative sites which were returned for cor-
rection have not been sent to the' Forest Service, supervisors are reminded
and they are requested to correct the reports and forward them with as little
delay as possible.

A printed form for reports upon proposed administrative sites will be fur-
nished the supervisors on the 1st of December. It is requested that the ut-
most care be exercised, in preparing requests for withdrawal of tracts, to
furnish all the information called for by the form, aad that, as therein directed,
all necessary supplemental reports be attached thereto.

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

The attention of supervisors is called to the fact that when purchasing tele-
phone instruments it is necessary to specify not only the make of the instru-
ment but whether a 1,000, 1,600, or 2,500 ohm ringer is desired. This informa-
tion can best be secured from the telephone company with which connection
is made.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

New Form of Boundary Notice —

A new form of boundary notice (No. 270) is now available upon requisition.
This form is supplied with a blank diagram of four townships on the scale of
one-third of an inch to the mile. It is intended that the exact location of each
notice posted shall be designated by placing a star upon this diagram.

Designation of Forest Divisions —

Hereafter administrative divisions of the National Forests will be designated
by placing the name of the division after the words "National Forest," thus :
The Big Hole (S) National Forest.
The Washington (Wenatchee Div.) National Forest.

The above form of designation will be used in all correspondence and forms
of the Forest Service.

NOVEMBER 18, 1907.
To Forest Supervisors:

The Commissioner of the General Land Office has informed the Forester that
reports of Forest officers unfavorable to the validity of claims in the National
Forests should be regarded as confidential. Jurisdiction in determining the
validity of unperfected claims in National Forests rests in the General Land
Office, and the Forest Service will cooperate to further this work.

Therefore please do not hereafter permit inspection of unfavorable reports
on such claims. There would be no impropriety in your informing claimants,
upon their request, if you wish to do so, that your report is unfavorable, but
in no case should you inform them of the character of the evidence on which
your reports are based or of the names of the witnesses by whose testimony
they are to be substantiated. .Claimants or their attorneys applying for this
information should be informed that it can be obtained only from the Commis-
sioner of the General Land Office.

C. S. CHAPMAN,
Acting Assistant Forester.

SERVICE ORDER 9.

NOVEMBER 5, 1007.

Additional Regulations Relating to Special-use Applications —

To the Forest Supervisors:

The following additional regulations relating to applications for special-use
permits for commercial power plants were approved by the Secretary of Agri-
culture on October 25 :

Regulation lOa. — Applications for special-use permits for commercial power
plants must be accompanied by certified evidence of water right or appropriation
under the local laws if the use of water is involved, maps in duplicate on tracing
linen showing the project as surveyed and field notes in duplicate. Both maps
and field notes must be verified by the surveyor's certificate under oath.

Regulation lOb. — If any person shall make, sign, or swear to a false sur-
veyor's certificate under regulation lOa, the Forester, after notice and hearing,
may make an order that no map or field notes made by or bearing or purporting
to bear the certificate of the person so making, signing, or swearing to such false
certificate shall be received or filed until such time as the Forester may revoke
such order.

Regulation lOc. — If any individual applicant personally or if any corporation
applicant by its officers or agents shall offer or file any map or field notes
bearing a false surveyor's certificate or oath, knowing the same to be false,
the Forester, after notice and hearing, may make an order that no application
from such applicant shall be received or filed, and no sale, permit, or use shall
be made, issued, or granted to him until such time as the Forester may revoke
such order.

Forest supervisors will please apply these regulations to all applications for
special-use permits for commercial power plants hereafter filed with them.

SERVICE NOTES FOR JANUARY.

LAW.

WILLIAM BINKLEY AND CHARLES PURDY WERE ARRESTED in Los Angeles, through
the efforts of Supervisor Robert E. Miller, of the Teton Division of the Yellowstone,
for unlawfully killing elk, and were bound over by the United States commissioner
for trial before the United States court in the southern district of Idaho. At Poca-
tello they received a sentence of six months' imprisonment and $200 fine. Later
they were rearrested by the park authorities for a similar offense, and were tried at
the park court. On September 12 they were sentenced to three months' imprison-
ment. In this latter case Mr. Miller was also a principal witness. On November 12
Charles Isobel and Oscar Adams, who had been associated with Binkley and Purdy,
were indicted at Cheyenne for killing elk at the north end of Jacksons Hole and
along the boundary of Yellowstone Park.

DENDROLOGY.

Field Photographs —

Field officers whose work requires that the development of negatives and printing
of photographs be done in the field, are permitted to incur the expense necessary for
this purpose. Such expenditures will be approved of by -the Forester only in such
cases as, in the judgment of the officer, the proper dispatch of official business de-
mands that pictures be procured immediately. The officer incurring such expenses
will be required in each instance to show that important results would have been
lost had he waited to procure the pictures through the Washington photographic
laboratory. When, in the judgment of the field officer, there is sufficient time in
which to have the developing and printing done at the Washington laboratory, this
course should always be followed.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Approximate Diameter Limits —

It is extremely important that purchasers of National Forest timber realize clearly
that the diameter limits agreed upon are merely approximate. This should be called
to the attention of purchasers, and the method of marking fully explained. In order
to impress applicants still further with this fact, Clause 8 as now given in Form 202,
pages 3 and 4, should be stricken out in all applications and contracts and the follow-
ing clause substituted:

The approximate minimum diameter limits at a point 4£ feet from the ground

to which living trees are to be cut is for and for , but

trees above these diameters may be reserved for seed or protection, and mer-
chantable trees below these diameters may be marked at the discretion of the
Forest officer.

This is intended to show that the limits named are to serve only as a guide in
marking. Owing to the varying needs of different species, and in most cases to the
necessity for reducing the proportion of inferior species in the stand, it would be

(13)

14

impossible to use the same approximate limit for all. The diameter limits named
in contracts must be varied wherever necessary in order to leave seed trees, to
remove inferior trees, to reduce the proportion of inferior species, and, in general,
to improve the silvicultuml condition of the forest.

Removal of Timber —

The word "removal," as relating to the closing of timber cases, should be con-
strued to mean the removal of the timber from the cutting area to such locations
that its further removal will neither interfere with the administration of the Forest,
nor require the attention of a Forest officer, nor interfere with any forest growth,
whether on or off the cutting area. When possible, the point of removal should be
to roads or other points where the material is immediately available for distribution
to consumers. All timber to be considered removed should be so situated that
further handling of it will not create a fire menace. This ruling applies especially
to cordwood, shakes, lagging, etc. With saw timber, removal to the mill can usually
be expected and required.

Bid Envelopes, Class B Sales —

A supply of salmon-colored bid envelopes for use in advertised Class B sales has
been sent to the supervisors who have been authorized to make these sales. This
color is used in order to distinguish the envelopes from those used in submitting
bids to the Forester. In several instances bids in Class B sales have been sent to
the Forester by mistake. Forest officers should be especially careful to see that the
proper envelope is used, so that if bids in Class B sales are sent to Washington by
mistake they may be promptly returned to the supervisor. Attention is called to
the instructions in the October Field Program.

Special Use Permits —

Supervisors are now authorized to approve certain special use permits. (See "The
Use Book," p. 44.) In cases, however, in which the amount of timber involved
exceeds that which the supervisor is authorized to sell, the approval of the Forester
is necessary.

The following timber settlement clause, modified to suit the existing conditions,
should be placed in agreements involving the cutting or destruction of merchantable
timber:

To pay to the Fiscal Agent, Forest Service, at Washington, D. C., in
advance, as required by the Forest officer, for all live and dead timber, mer-
chantable in the judgment of the Forest officer, to be cut, injured, or
destroyed on the right of way according to the scale, estimate, or count of the
Forest officers at the following rates:

and to dispose of all brush, refuse, and unused timber as may be required
by the Forest officer.

In cases where the stumpage prices can not be definitely fixed at once, or where
the cutting or construction will not begin for some time after the execution of the
agreement, the part of the clause relating to stumpage rates should read:

At rates to be fixed by the supervisor [if agreement is to be approved by
supervisor, or Forester if the approval of the Forester is required], which

shall correspond to the prevailing stumpage rates charged in the

National Forest at the time construction or cutting begins.

15

The stumpage rates in all cases should be definitely determined before cutting or
construction begins, and the Forester should be notified as soon as they have been
fixed. In accordance with the agreement, payment should be required in advance
of cutting or construction, in amounts specified by the supervisor.

If there is no opportunity to scale or measure the timber, payment should be made
on the basis of a careful estimate. All timber cut should, if possible, be scaled and
reported as in timber sales. If the wood is to be used, the same utilization as in a
timber sale should be required, and, in case it is not to be used, measurement should
be correspondingly close. When cutting is complete, a refund should be recom-
mended if the deposits sufficiently exceed the value of the timber cut.

Forest Atlas Folios —

Forest officers are cautioned that the Forest Atlas Folios, which are being issued
as rapidly as possible, are confidential records for the use of the Service only, and
under no circumstances are to become the property of or be loaned to people outside
of the Forest Service.

Although the first editions of folios will necessarily be subject to revision, they will
be of greater value, both in the field and office, if they contain no errors which are
known by the supervisors to exist upon the maps now in use.

Supervisors should report all errors in the maps of the Forests under their charge
that may come to their notice, either in spelling, location, or wrong use of names, in
order that the Forest Atlas Folios may be issued as nearly correct as possible. Please
send data of this character to the Forester in a separate envelope, with' the words
"Forest Atlas" in the lower left hand corner. It is expected that with the active
cooperation of the field men the data relating to each Forest will be quickly brought
to a high state of excellence.

OFFICE OF SILVICS.

Annual Report—

The attention of Forest assistants is called to the fact that the annual silvical
report for 1908 will be due next April. The present outline for this report is now
being revised, and new copies will be supplied to each Forest assistant within the
next month. Suggestions as to changes and additions are requested.

OFFICE OF EXTENSION.

Ranger Nurseries—

The general policy of establishing small nurseries at ranger stations has been
abandoned. Plans for the establishment of these nurseries, or the maintenance of
those already established should be held pending the receipt of instructions, which
will be issued during January to each supervisor affected by this change in policy.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Sliding Scale Reductions —

When a reduction in the numberof stock applied for is found necessary the Class C
applications are first excluded, then the Class A applications are approved of in full,
and such reduction as is found necessary is made from the Class B applications on a
sliding scale which will fit the local conditions. This sliding scale should provide

16

for a larger proportionate reduction on the applications of regular users who are non-
residents, or whose ranches are located at a distance from the Forest, than is made
on the larger owners who reside and own ranch property in the vicinity of the
Forest.

The Use of Private Land—

A very decided change takes place on January 1 in regard to the method of hand-
ling applications for crossing and grazing permits under the provisions of Regulation
58. Hereafter these applications will be acted upon by the supervisors, without being
referred to the Forester for approval, whenever information regarding the title to the
land has been furnished in the Atlas Folios, on alienated land maps, or by township
plats which have been verified through the records of the General Land Office. It
is of the greatest importance that the supervisors do not approve applications which
are based upon land the title to which has not been verified by the Forester; that
they keep an accurate check on the lands included -in each application in order to
prevent duplication; that they do net issue free grazing permits for a greater number
of stock than could be grazed upon the private land when the exclusive right to its
use is waived; and that they do not issue crossing permits for a larger number of stock
than the unfenced land will support when the owner does not waive the right to its
exclusive use. The only report required by the Forester is furnished by the dupli-
cate permit, which should be sent to him immediately after its issuance.

Giving Notice when Stock Enter Forest —

It has been found that in many cases it was very inconvenient for stockmen fully
to comply with Regulation 51 in reference to notifying the supervisor of the time
when their stock would enter the Forest. Therefore, the first paragraph of this reg-
ulation has been amended to read as follows:

When an owner who has a permit is ready to drive in his stock he must notify
the nearest Forest officer, by mail or otherwise, stating the number to be driven in.

This means that hereafter the stockmen, instead of notifying the supervisor, as
heretofore, will notify the ranger or guard in charge of the district upon which the
stock will graze. As no notice of the time when stock will leave the Forest is now
required, it will be necessary for the Forest officers to see to it that stock are not
kept in the Forest after the expiration of the permits.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.
OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Mail at Christmas Time —

Owing to the great amount of mail handled at Christmas time, the Postmaster at
Washington requested the different Departments to let their outgoing second-class
mail be as light as possible between December 17 and 27. This request will, there-
fore, curtail the shipment of supplies and the mailing of publications by the'Office
of Maintenance.

Planimeters —

Supervisors who desire planimeters for use on their Forests should make requi-
sition, and explain the need for the instruments.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Mounted Maps for Field Officers —

In order to increase the serviceability of mounted maps used in field work, they
will hereafter be mounted to fold, unless it is specifically stated that this is not
desirable. Requisitions should state for what purpose the map is desired and
whether it should be mounted or unmounted.

Field Notes—

Whenever it is necessary to submit a set of field notes of survey, with reports for
listing, under the act of June 11, 1906, examiners should be careful to furnish the
Washington office with at least five carbon copies of the field notes.

Administrative Sites —

Supervisors are urged to consider carefully the question of making additional
recommendations for the withdrawal of administrative sites on their respective
Forests. It may be assumed that at least one ranger station will be needed for every
township. It is of course obvious that there are many townships within the
National Forests in which there is no need for an administrative site, but, on the
other hand, there are townships in which two or even more ranger stations will
eventually be needed. Supervisors should consider this question carefully during
the winter months and be prepared to have proposed ranger stations located just as
soon as the field work can be begun in the spring and before the more pressing
work of the summer begins.

Boundaries—

Since the General Land Office requires that, in requests for withdrawals, the areas
included in the administrative sites which are described by metes and bounds shall
be indicated, supervisors should, in recommending such withdrawals, indicate on
the plats and field notes of survey the approximate areas included in all tracts which
are described by metes and bounds.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Designation of Forest Divisions —

In giving instructions in the December Field Program for the designation of
divisions of National Forests a contradiction appears between the instructions and
example given. The instructions state that the name of the division should be placed
after the words "National Forest," whereas they should have stated "should be
placed before the words 'National Forest,' " to correspond with the example given.

New National Forests —

During the past month the President signed proclamations making the following
additions: Monticello National Forest, 101,398 acres; Aquarius National Forest,
87,159 acres. The Vegas National Forest was created on December 12, with an area
of 195,840 acres, and the proclamation creating the Arkansas National Forest, with
an aria of 1,073,955 acres, was signed on December 18. The Arkansas has the dis-
tinction of being farther east than any other National Forest. A proclamation adding
about 67,425 acres to the San Gabriel National Forest, Cal., was signed December 23.
These creations make the total area of National Forests 162,578,358 acres.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

Forwarding- Maps —

A great many maps are forwarded to the Washington office under separate
cover. These maps are received in the mailing room, and it frequently hap-
pens that it is absolutely impossible for the mail clerks to determine to which
office or section the maps should be sent. Many maps are, therefore, sent to
sections for which they are not intended. The attention of all field officers is
called to the necessity of carefully marking every map that is forwarded to
the Forester. Maps should be marked with reference to letters in which notice
is given of their transmission.

Jurisdiction over the Luquillo National Forest —

The jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture over the Luquillo National
Forest, Porto Rico, was affirmed by the following decision of the Comptroller
of the Treasury :

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Washington, D. C., January Jt, 1908.
The honorable the SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

SIR: In your communication of January 2, 1908, you request my decision of
a question which you therein present, as follows •

By public proclamation dated January 17, 1903, the President of the
United States reserved and set apart as a u public forest reservation"
certain of the public lands in the island of Porto Rico, to be known as
" The Luquillo Forest Reserve," and the proclamation recited that the
reservation was made by virtue of the power conferred upon the Presi-
dent by the act of Congress approved July 1, 1902. (32 Stat, 731.)
Because of a more pressing demand for the energies of the Forest Serv-
ice and moneys available for forest protection, the Luquillo Forest
Reserve has never been put under active administration. Like delay has
in some cases been necessary concerning National Forests located within
the States.

The governor of Porto Rico has suggested to me that the public good
would be promoted by the appointment of a supervisor to actively admin-
ister the Luquillo National Forest. I am of the opinion that there is no
obstacle to the appointment of such an officer or to the payment of his sal-
ary from the appropriation made by the act of Congress approved March
4, 1907 (34 Stat., 1256). But to give the fiscal agent of the Forest Service
that protection which I believe a disbursing officer is entitled to, I have
decided to ask you to determine whether or not the jurisdiction over the
Luquillo Forest Reserve, or National Forest, is in the Department of Agri-

(14)

15

culture, so that his salary may be paid from the appropriation made by
the act of March 4, 1907, above mentioned.

Sec. 24 of the act of Congress approved March 3, 1891 (26 Stat., 1095)
authorized the President of the United States to set apart and reserve
as public reservations public lands bearing forests in any State or Terri-
tory, and by public proclamation to declare the establishment of such
reservations and the limits thereof. The act of Congress of June 4,
1897 (30 Stat., 11), provided that all public land theretofore or there-
after set aside and reserved as public forest reserves under the act of
1901 referred to should, as far as practicable, be controlled and admin-
istered in accordance with the following provisions : " No public forest
reservation shall be established except to improve and protect the forest
within the reservation, or for the purpose of securing favorable condi-
tions of water flows, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for
the use and necessities of citizens of the United States." The said act
of June 4, 1897, also authorized the Secretary of the Interior, who then
had jurisdiction over public forest reservations, to " make such rules
and regulations and establish such service as will insure the objects of
such reservations, namely, to regulate their occupancy and use and to
preserve the forests thereon from destruction." A discussion of the act
of June 4, 1897, which shows the public nature and purposes of forest
reservations may be found in the case of U. S. vs. Shannon (151 Fed.
Rep., 863).

By the act of February 1, 1905 (33 Stat., 628), the Secretary of Agri-
culture was authorized to execute or cause to be executed all laws
affecting public lands theretofore or thereafter reserved under the act
of 1891 referred to, " and acts supplemental to and amendatory thereof,"
excepting certain laws which affect the title and which are referred to
in a general way in the first clause of the act.

The act of February 15, 1901 (31 Stat., 790), the fourth section of the
act of February 1, 1905, above referred to, and the act of February 8,
1905 (33 Stat., 706), authorized certain uses of the national forests by
the public and by the Government, and the appropriation act of March
4, 1907 (34 Stat., 1256), provided appropriations for the protection and
utilization of the national forests.

The act of Congress of July 2, 1902 (32 Stat, 731), upon which the
President based his proclamation creating the Luquillo Forest Reserve,
authorized the President " to make * * * such reservations of public
lands and buildings belonging to the United States in the island of
Porto Rico for military, naval, light-house, marine-hospital, post-offices,
custom-houses, United States courts, and such other, public purposes as
he may deem necessary." The President evidently took his authority
to create the forest reservation from the words " and other public pur-
poses " of the act, and since the act of 1901 authorized the creation of
forest reserves in the States and Territories " as public reservations,"
and since the act of June 4, 1897, refers to such reservations as " public
forest " reservations and expressly shows that the objects of the reserva-
tions were to secure favorable conditions of water flows,' furnish a con-
tinuous supply of timber for the use of the public, and to regulate the
occupancy by the public of the lands reserved, and since the other acts
referred to provided for the use of the lands and resources of the national
forests by the public, it seems clear that the reservation of the national
forest in Porto Rico was within the authority of the President, and that
the nature of the reservation made is similar to that of the other
national forests made under the authority of the act of 1891, before and
after the act of June 4, 1897, and that the act of July 1, 1902, is supple-
mental to the act of March 3, 1891, and that the jurisdiction to admin-
ister such reserve was transferred to the Secretary of Agriculture by the
act of February 1, 1905, above referred to, subject only to the excep-
tions named therein, which apply equally to other national forests. The
reservations named in the act of 1902 are for the use of the Govern-
ment in exercising its functions for the respective purposes indicated by
the nature of such reservations, and the same may be said of national
forests. They are used and occupied by Government officers to protect
the public waters, to protect and increase the timber supply, to experi-
ment and investigate timber conditions, and to facilitate the uses of
such reservations by the public in much the same way as post-offices

16

and custom-houses are used and for the public benefit and protection as
light-houses are used, and since so many of the uses of national forests
are of the same general nature and character and promote the public
good after much the same manner as the reservations specifically re-
ferred to in the act of 1902, it is believed that such national forests
partake of the nature of the reservations referred to in that act, espe-
cially since all must be made from the public lands belonging to the
United States, and that therefore said act may properly be considered
as supplemental to the act of March 3, 1901.

Since the necessity of the appointment of the supervisor for the
Luquillo National Forest is urgent, I respectfully request that you
advise me whether or not the fiscal agent would be authorized to pay
his salary from the moneys appropriated by the act of March 4, 1907,
above mentioned.

The act of March 4, 1907 (34 Stat, 1256, 1269, 1271), to which you refer,
makes appropriations for "Salaries, Forest Service," aggregating $143,200:
for " General Expenses, Forest Service," $1,746,800 ; and for the proper and
economical administration, protection, and development of the national forests,
$500,000.

The appropriation for salaries is made specifically for salaries of clerks,
draftsmen, photographers, messengers, watchmen, a forester, a carpenter, and
an electrician. It is therefore not applicable to the compensation of a super-
visor of a national forest.

The appropriation for general expenses provides as follows :

To enable the Secretary of Agriculture to experiment and to make and
continue investigations and report on forestry, forest reserves, which
shall be known hereafter as national forests, forest fires, and lumbering;
to advise the owners of woodlands as to the proper care of the same;
to investigate and test American timber and timber trees and their uses
and methods for the preservative treatment of timber; to seek, through
investigations and the planting of native and foreign species, suitable
trees -for the treeless regions ; to erect necessary buildings : Provided,
That the cost of any building erected shall not exceed one thousand dol-
lars ; to pay all expenses necessary to protect, administer, improve, and
extend the national forests; and hereafter officials of the Forest Service
designated by the Secretary of Agriculture shall, in all ways that are
practicable, aid in the enforcement of the laws of the States or Terri-
tories with regard to stock, for the prevention and extinguishment of
forest fires, and for the protection of fish and game.

To ascertain the natural conditions upon and utilize the national
forests; and the Secretary of Agriculture may, in his discretion, permit
timber and other forest products cut or removed from the national for-
ests of the United States, except the Black Hills National Forest in South
Dakota, to be exported from the State, Territory, or the district of Alaska,
in which said forests are respectively situated : Provided, That the expor-
tation of dead and insect-infested timber only from said Black Hills Na-
tional Forest shall be allowed until such time as the Forester shall
certify that the ravages of the destructive insects in said forest are
practically checked, but in no case after July first, nineteen hundred and
eight ; to transport and care for fish and 'game supplied to stock the
national forests or the waters therein ; to employ fiscal and other agents,
clerks, assistants, and other labor required in practical forestry, in the
administration of national forests in the District of Columbia or else-
where; and hereafter he may dispose of photographic prints (including
bromide enlargements), lantern slides, transparencies, blueprints, and
forest maps at cost and ten per centum additional, and condemned prop-
erty or materials under his charge in the same manner as provided by
law for other bureaus; to collate, digest, report, illustrate, and print the
results of experiments and investigations made by the Forest Service;
to purchase law books to an amount not exceeding five hundred dollars,
necessary supplies, apparatus, office fixtures, and technical books, and
technical journals for officers of the Forest Service stationed outside
of Washington; and to pay freight, express, telegraph, and telephone

17

charges, and for electric light and power, fuel, gas, ice, washing towels,
and traveling and other necessary expenses, one million seven hundred
and fifty-six thousand eight hundred dollars, of which sum not to exceed
forty thousand dollars may be used for rent. * * *

This appropriation expressly provides for the employment of " fiscal and
other agents, clerks, assistants, and other labor required in practical forestry,
in the administration of national forests," whether they are employed " in the
District of Columbia or elsewhere."

I am of the opinion that either this appropriation or that for administration,
etc., of national forests is applicable to the compensation of a supervisor of a
national forest.

The particular question for consideration in the case presented is whether
the Luquillo Forest Reserve in Porto Rico is a " national forest " within the
meaning of the above appropriations. Section 24 of the act of March 3, 1891
(26 Stat, 1095, 1103), provides as follows:

That the President of the United States may, from time to time, set
apart and reserve in any State or Territory having public land bearing
forests, in any part of the public lands wholly or in part covered with
timber or undergrowth, whether of commercial value or not, as public
reservations, and the President shall, by public proclamation, declare the
establishment of such reservations and the limits thereof.

Prior to the passage of the act of March 4, 1907, supra, the reservations of
public lands made under the above section were known as " forest reserves."
But the said act of March 4, 1907, in the paragraph making appropriation for
general expenses, quoted above, provides that forest reserves should there-
after be known as " national forests." I think, therefore, the appropriations
made in said act are applicable only to expenses incurred in connection with
national forests established under said section 24 of the act of March 3, 1891.
(13 Comp. Dec., 219.) That section authorizes the reservation of national
forests only in a " State or Territory."

In the absence of a legislative construction of the word " territory " as used
in said section 24 of the act of March 3, 1891, I should be inclined to hold that
Porto Rico is not a Territory within the meaning of said act authorizing the
President to set aside forest reservations in the States and Territories, and that
the Territories therein mentioned are such as have a civil government estab-
lished by Congress as a Territorial government and directly under the laws of
the United States. But Congress in the last appropriation act for the general
expenses of the Forest Reserve has recognized the fact that forest reservations
may be carried out in Alaska, which is no more a Territory of the United States,
in the technical sense in which the word " territory " is commonly used in the
statutes, than is Porto Rico, by providing that the Secretary of Agriculture
may permit timber and other forest products to be cut or removed from national
forests of the United States, except the Black Hills National Forest or the Dis-
trict of Alaska. To be enabled to enforce this exception presupposes the fact
that forest reservations may be made in Alaska, and that the Secretary may
appoint such officers as are necessary to maintain and administer such forest
reservations in Alaska, and to enforce such exception.

You state that the President made the forest reserve in question under the
act of July 2, 1902, quoted by you, which I do not think is either amendatory
of said section 24, or modifies its provisions; but if authorized to make such
forest reserve under the act providing for forest reservations in the States and
Territories, it is immaterial under what statute he claimed to act. Having
the authority to make a forest reserve in Porto Rico, and having made one,

18

you are authorized to employ a supervisor of such forest reserve made in Porto
Rico and pay him for his services out of the appropriation mentioned in your
communication.

Respectfully, R. J. TRACEWELL,

Comptroller.

Case of Curtin v. Benson et al. —

In the case of Curtin v. Benson et al., decree was entered for the defendants,
on December 11, 1907. The finding of facts and the decree were as follows :

In the United States Circuit Court, Ninth Circuit, Northern District of Cali-
fornia.

J. B. CURTIN, Plaintiff, }

v. [No. 13827.

H. C. BENSON ET AL., Defendants. \

Upon consideration of the evidence and the agreed statement of facts filed
herein June 13, 1906, I find the following facts :

1. That the plaintiff, J. B. Curtin, owns within the limits of the Yosemite
National Park the following described lands: N. £ of section 16; SE. £ of sec-
tion 18 ; in township 2 south, range 20 east.

That in addition thereto he leases from other parties the following described
lands within the said Yosemite National Park : W. * of the SW. i and SE. i of
SW. i of section 14 ; NE. J of NW. 1 section 23 ; all of section 17 ; in township
2 south, range 20 east, and the SW. 1 of section 13, township 2 south, range 19
east.

2. That leading to said lands so owned and leased in the said Yosemite Na-
tional Park by the plaintiff herein are toll roads over which the public may pass
upon payment of the fees exacted by the corporation controlling said roads, said
roads having been established many years prior to the creation of said park.

3. That the defendant, Major H. C. Benson, is the duly appointed, qualified,
and acting superintendent of said Yosemite National Park, and was at the time
of the commencement of the action herein such superintedent, and has continu-
ously acted in that capacity from that date until the present time.

4. That the Department of the Interior has established certain rules and regu-
lations for the government of the said Yosemite National Park, which said rules
and regulations the defendant herein, as such superintendent of the said Yosem-
ite National Park is obliged to enforce, and for the purpose of enforcing said
rules and regulations he has a body of troops under his command.

5. That among other rules and regulations promulgated and established by
the Secretary of the Interior are the following :

" 9. Owners of patented lands within the park limits are entitled to the full
use and enjoyment thereof: such lands, however, shall have the metes and
bounds thereof so marked and defined as that they may be readily distinguished
from the park lands. Stock may be taken over the park lands to patented
lands with the written permission and under the supervision of the superin-
tendent."

" 10. The herding or grazing of loose stock or cattle of any kind on the Gov-
ernment lands in the park, as well as the driving of such stock or cattle over
the same, is strictly forbidden, except in such cases where authority therefor
is granted by the superintendent."

6. That the plaintiff, J. B. Curtin, claims the right to drive his cattle to his
said lands owned and leased by him as aforesaid in the Yosemite National Park

19

without complying with the provisions of sections 9 and 10 of the Rules and
Regulations as set forth above, claiming said Rules and Regulations to be invalid,
and claiming that to deprive him of the right so to drive his cattle to and from,
and graze his cattle upon, his land would work irreparable injury to him.

7. That the plaintiff herein did on one occasion place cattle upon his said
lands in said Yosemite National Park, and that the said defendant, H. C. Benson,
as such superintendent, did immediately remove said cattle from said lands and
refuse to allow the same to be grazed thereon until said plaintiff complied with
said Rules and Regulations. That prior to the commencement of this action, the
defendant, H. C. Benson, as such superintendent of said Yosemite National Park,
did refuse to allow and by force did prevent said plaintiff from driving any of
his said cattle or horses in, upon, or over said toll roads to his said lands in said
park, and did prevent said plaintiff from using any of his said lands in said
park until the metes and bounds thereof were properly pointed out.

That the defendant, H. C. Benson, as such superintendent, has enforced and
will continue to enforce, as such superintendent of the Yosemite National Park,
the Rules and Regulations hereinbefore set out until the same are declared
invalid by competent authority or his orders in reference to enforcement thereof
are changed.

As a conclusion of law from the foregoing facts and the facts admitted by
the pleadings, I find that the Rules and Regulations made by the Secretary of the
Interior, numbered 9 and 10, for the government and superintendence of the
Yosemite National Park, and set out in the foregoing finding numbered 5, are
valid.

2. That plaintiff is not entitled to the relief prayed for in the bill of complaint,
or any relief.

3. That defendants are entitled to a judgment dismissing the bill of com-
plaint and for their costs.

Let such decree be entered,
Dated December 11, 1907,

JOHN J. DE HAVEN, Judge.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Closing- Old Timber Sales Cases —

The timber sales files in the office at Washington show that there are many
old sales on the National Forests in which it is probable that all of the timber
has. been cut and removed. Supervisors should, therefore, as soon as possible,
go through their card and correspondence files and recommend for closing, all
cases in which the conditions are such as to allow this action. If necessary,
Forest officers should be asked for reports to show the status of cases in which
the records are not complete. In addition to looking up cases which should be
closed, the payments in connection with reports of timber cut should be care-
fully checked.

Without doubt, it will also be possible to recommend for closing many tres-
pass cases, timber settlements, and sawmill privileges.

Advertised Class B and C sales —

To insure compliance with the provision of the law that timber exceeding
$100 in value must be advertised for a period of not less than thirty days before

20

it can be sold, the date up to which bids will be received, which is announced in
the advertisement, should be the same date of the following month as the date
of the first publication. If material mistakes appear in the first publication,
they should be corrected and the date up to which bids will be received should
be made one week later ; or if the mistakes are not detected until a later appear-
ance of the notice of sale the date up to which bids will be received should be
changed to the same date of the following month as the date of the first appear-
ance of the corrected notice. The number of publications should not, however,
be increased, since the number for which payment can be allowed by the Fiscal
Agent is limited to five by the letter of authorization.

.In all notices inserted during the month of February, the date up to which
bids will be received should be made two days later in March than the date of
the first appearance in February; thus if the first publication appears Feb-
ruary 2, the last day for receiving bids should be March 4.

It is essential that special attention be given to this point in advertised sales,
in order that it may not be necessary for the supervisor to defray the expenses
of additional publications, or of an advertisement which does not allow the full
period of 30 days for the submission of bids.

Brush Disposal in Improvement Work —

It is very important that all the brush and other debris resulting from per-
manent improvement work on the forests, such as trail building, telephone
lines, etc., be disposed of with as much care and thoroughness as is required
of purchasers in timber sales and of permittees in timber settlements. Unless
this is done, not only would the forest be menaced, but the manner in which
the Forest Service conducts its work would be justly open to criticism.

Over Payments in Timber Sales and Timber-Settlement Cases —

When the final report of the timber cut is submitted to the Forester in a
timber-sale or timber-settlement case, a definite recommendation should be
made by the supervisor as to what disposition should be made of the over
payments. This will avoid the delay and extra work incident to writing the
supervisor for this recommendation before final action in the case is taken.

Free Use-
It is intended by regulation 19 of ''The Use Book" that the supervisors
may, in cases of great and unusual need, issue more than two free-use permits
to the same applicant in one year, and that the value of the material included in
the two permits may exceed $20 in one year. The authority to allow more
than $20 worth of material is not confined to applications for material to be
used for road districts, churches, and noncommercial cooperative organizations,
but, at the discretion of the supervisor, it may be extended also to individual
applicants. Whether or not an applicant is entitled to more than $20 worth of
material in one year is to be determined by the supervisor after a careful con-
sideration of all the circumstances of the case.

Free-Use Records —

The free use card record, Form 164, has been discontinued and the dupli-
cate of the permit, Form 874-9, issued by the officer and sent to the super-
visor's office for record should be filed alphabetically in the free use card

21

record case. The permit, 874-8 and 874-9, is being revised in order that it
may be filed more conveniently. The object of the cancellation of Form 164
is to do away with the need for copying the data from the permit to the card
record.

Wall Map of the National Forests —

A wall map of the United States showing the National Forests will be issued
February 1. The size is 64 by 84 inches. It will be printed in four colors,
showing culture, drainage, State boundaries, and the Forests. It will be in
four sheets and unmounted. Supervisors and inspectors will receive copies
without requisition, and persons not in the Forest Service may obtain the map
on payment of 25 cents.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Instructions Regarding Grazing Trespass —

The following circular letter is to be sent to Forest officers:

JANUARY 16, 1908.
To FOREST OFFICERS :

In future cases of grazing trespass upon the National Forests you will please
proceed in accordance with the following instructions:

In Civil Cases —

The Forest officer upon discovering a grazing trespass should take imme-
diate steps to protect the Forest from injury. The owner of the stock should
be ordered to remove it an once, or, if the situation is urgent, the Forest officer
may remove the stock in any reasonable way that does not injure it physically.

A distinction should be made betwreen (a) unpermitted stock and (6) per-
mitted stock.

(a) Forest officers may drive unpermitted stock from any portion of the
forest upon discovery of its presence. Or they may allow the owner or herder
a reasonable time to remove it, but if they refuse to go the person in charge
of the stock may be arrested and the stock removed from the forest. (See
procedure In Criminal Cases.)

(&) Permitted stock may be removed from any portion of the Forest not
allotted to it, but the permit can not be canceled or the stock removed from the
area allotted to it without authority from the Forester.

The Forest officer who discovers trespassing stock should, as soon as possible,
prepare a report in duplicate on Form 856 to be submitted to the supervisor.
This report should contain clear-cut, definite statements upon the following
points : Date of trespass ; actual or approximate number of stock grazed in
trespass and method of determination; brands or earmarks of stock and re-
corded ownership of same; location of area trespassed upon by legal subdivi-
sions or a definite description by local landmarks; whether Forest boundaries
were properly marked at point of trespass or not and whether trespasser has
ever been advised of the exact location of the Forest boundary ; the names and
addresses of all witnesses having knowledge of the facts, together with a brief
synopsis of their testimony. All questions contained in the printed form should
be answered.

This data should be complete, even though insert sheets must be used in the
report. The Forest officer should then add his own recommendation relative
to the terms and methods of settlement and action to be taken, and forward
both copies of the report to the supervisor. No report of a grazing trespass
should be forwarded to the Forester until the trespasser has had an opportunity
to present his version of the facts to the supervisor. Propositions of settle-
ment should not be prepared in full for the signature of the trespassers, but
instead the trespasser shrr- hi l>- furnished the blank form upon which he may
set forth his side of the case.

Upon receipt of the re; ort, the supervisor will consider it carefully and, if
he thinks a good case has been presented against the trespasser, he will advise

22

him by letter of the nature of the report, informing him that he will be allowed
ten days from the receipt of the letter in which to state his version of the facts.
After such statement has been made, or in case the alleged trespasser ignores
the notice, after the ten days or a reasonable time has expired, the supervisor,
if in his opinion a trespass has been committed, will determine the amount of
injury which the Forest has sustained. If the trespass is innocent or unin-
tentional, the trespasser should be charged only the value of the grass and
forage consumed or the herbage destroyed, based upon the regular grazing fee
upon the number of head of stock involved; but in cases in which the trespass
is willful the compensation due the Government should be much greater, be-
cause of the effect of such a trespass. In cases of willful trespass the sum
of $50 per band and upward in any case of sheep trespass and $10 and up-
ward in any case of cattle or horse trespass is reasonable.

After having determined the compensation due to the Government in set-
tlement of the trespass, a proposition of settlement, Form 208, should be pre-
sented to the trespasser, to be filled in and signed by him and forwarded to
the Forester. A letter of transmittal, Form 861, should also be presented to
him and a duplicate sent to the Forester. A report of the action taken in
all cases, with definite recommendations, should be made to the Forester at
once. A card record should be prepared, and a properly marked folder con-
taining the duplicate report and all other papers in the case should be placed
in the files.

In Criminal Cases —

The Secretary of Agriculture has no power to dismiss criminal cases, and a
proposition of settlement, submitted with the understanding that if accepted
criminal proceedings for the trespass will be waived, will be rejected. (Use
Book, p. 118). No proceeding looking to criminal prosecution should be
taken or threatened by any Forest officer without authority from the Forester
or law officer, except as provided under this head in cases where immediate
arrest is necessary. Under ordinary circumstances settlement should be
required as provided in civil cases and criminal action recommended only in
cases in which settlement is impossible.

In cases where immediate action is necessary in order to protect the forest
from damage, or in any clear case where the trespasser is liable to escape if
not arrested at once (Use Book, p. 121), the ranger will place the trespasser
under arrest if he is detected in the act of committing a trespass; will notify
the supervisor at once, advising him of the need for immediate action, the
evidence against the trespasser, and the commissioner before whom the hear-
ing will be held. He will also secure evidence upon all of the points mentioned
under the head of civil cases. He will immediately take the prisoner before
the proper United States commissioner, swear to a complaint, represent the
Forest Service at the hearing, and hold the prisoner for disposition according
to the instructions of the commissioner. After the case has been acted upon
by the commissioner, the ranger will submit full reports upon the proper forms,
as in a civil case, to the supervisor, including a statement regarding the
urgency of the need for the arrest and the decision and rulings of the
commissioner.

The supervisor, upon receipt of the ranger's preliminary report, should en-
deavor to attend the hearing before the commissioner as a representative of
the Forest Service, or, failing in that, should give the ranger full instructions
relative to the management of the case, approving or disapproving the ranger's
action in making the arrest, as necessary. As soon as the case before the
commissioner has been decided and the ranger has submitted full reports upon
the proper forms the supervisor should consider them, approve them, record
them in the proper manner, and forward all papers in the case to the Forester
for action, adding such recommendations as are necessary, and stating in full
all rulings and decisions made by the commissioner, after which he should
await instructions from the law officer before proceeding further.

GlFFORD PlNCHOT, Forester.

Grazing Permits for Five- Year Periods —

The supervisors of the Sierra (N), Santa Barbara, Cascade (N), San Fran-
cisco Mountains, Battlement Mesa, Big Horn and Yellowstone (Teton) Na-
tional Forests have been informed that, beginning with the season of 1908,

23

permits for grazing may be issued for five-year periods. If the system proves
a success upon these Forests it will be extended to other Forests next year.
The general plan is not to authorize the approval of applications for permits
for five-year periods until a Forest has been under administration at least
three years. A protective limit in number is established for each kind of stock,
and permits for more than these limits are subject to 10 per cent reduction
annually, if necessary to provide for new small owners. These permits are
to be issued in annual installments, and the grazing fee at the regular cur-
rent rate must be paid each year in advance. The permits are not transfer-
able, but in case the stock is sold a new permit will be issued free of charge
for the remainder of the period for which the fees have been paid. A new
application blank, Form 298, has been prepared for permits for five-year
periods, and samples may be had upon application to -the Branch of Grazing;
but supervisors must not approve the applications under any circumstances
until after they have been authorized to do so by the Forester.

Aliens are Entitled to Grazing- Permits —

There appears to be doubt in the minds of some of the Forest officers in
regard to whether or not persons who are not citizens of the United States
are entitled to grazing permits. It is important that this matter should be
made clear before the time for approving applications for permits during the
coming season. The regulations in force upon the National Forests (forest
reserves) at the time of their transfer from the Department of the Interior
to the Department of Agriculture prohibited the issuance of grazing permits
to persons who were not citizens of the United States. It was found that in
many cases this has caused considerable hardship and prevented the issuance of
permits to settlers who had but recently arrived in the country, and also that, as
a rule, the aliens whom it was desired to exclude were the owners of transient
stock and might be denied permits under the rules of preference. Therefore,
in the revision of the regulations on July 1, 1906, this regulation was cut out,
and now persons who are not citizens may be allowed grazing permits, provided,
of course, that they are bona fide residents and owners of improved ranch
property either within or adjacent to the Forest, or that they are otherwise
entitled to consideration under the present regulations.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

Certificate of Service —

Amended Form 143 (certificate of service) is now ready for distribution,
and the initial supply has been forwarded by the property clerk. This form
should be used by supervisors and temporary special disbursing agents strictly
in accordance with the instructions printed on the back, for the purpose of
reporting the period of service for which pay is due supervisors, rangers, and
guards, and the period of service of other employees whose accounts are to ~be
paid ~by the fiscal agent at Washington, D. C. It is important that the post-
office address accompany all names reported on this form.

24

Subvoucher Form 2a is no longer required, and payment is now made upon
the certification of the proper official that the services reported were rendered,
and if this can be promptly and correctly made on the last day of each month
the form (Form 143) should be mailed to the Forester immediately after such
certification, and on its receipt at this office the necessary pay rolls will be
prepared.

Accounts for Nonexpendable Property —

Section 150 of the Green Book provides that accounts for nonexpendable
property purchased under letters of authorization will not be paid unless accom-
panied by invoice and receipt on Form 939, in duplicate. The failure of many
members of the Service to comply with this regulation has resulted in serious
inconvenience. A strict compliance will avoid much needless correspondence
and facilitate the prompt settlement of accounts.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Forms Bearing the Designation " Forest Reserve " —

A number of supervisors are still using forms bearing the designation " For-
est Reserve." All forms of this character have been revised by substituting
the words " National Forest," and are available for issue on requisition. Super-
visors should obtain supplies of the revised forms and destroy all forms on
hand bearing the designation " Forest Reserve."

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Boundaries^ — New National Forests —

During the past month President Roosevelt signed the following proclama-
tions: San Bernardino, January 7, making an addition of 28,680 acres. Blue
Mountains, January 9, making an elimination of 131,643 acres. Monterey,
January 9, making an addition of 25,106 acres. Tonto, January 13, making
an addition of 1,288,320 acres.

The creation of the Tonto and Verde National Forests, which was signed on
December 30, 1906, is important, since a large part of the watersheds of the
Salt and Verde rivers will be brought under proper regulation. It is not only
extremely important that overgrazing be prevented, but many of the small
tributaries of the two rivers have a growth of oaks, cotton woods, Arizona
cypress, and chaparral that should be protected in order to prevent extensive
erosion.

Recommendations for Listing —

Many reports have been received recommending for listing, under the act of
June 11, 1906, tracts of land of which only a part was described in the appli-
cation. Sometimes these reports cover not only the land actually applied for,
but additional land to which the applicant was entitled and intended his appli-
cation to cover. The mistakes are due to the applicant's ignorance in the
matter or to his inability to obtain a proper description. To avoid confusion,
examiners should be careful to state in all such cases that the recommendations
embrace the land which the applicant desires to enter.

25

Claims —

Forest officers, in reporting on homestead entry claims, will remember that
mere colorable compliance with the provisions of the homestead entry law
by a claimant, in the matter or residence and cultivation, is not a sufficient
compliance to justify patent. Periodical visits of short duration to the land
to keep alive the fiction of residence, and meager improvements and cultiva-
tion do not indicate good faith, which is an essential requirement to entitle
a claimant to patent. In reporting on homestead entry claims, especially such
as are moderately or heavily timbered or where the claimant evidently desires
the land for some other use than for a home and for cultivation, every fact
relating to the claimant's occupancy of the land should be detailed, in order
that his good faith may be determined. If necessary, an insert sheet may be
used in Form 655.

Facts bearing upon the following points should be clearly and fully set
forth in the report :

-The habitable character of the claimant's house at all seasons; its size,
furnishings, and value, and character and value of all other buildings and im-
provements; amount of tillable land and amount plowed and cultivated each
year; the disposal of the crop; water supply; presence or absence of stock
and domestic fowls; employment and circumstances of the claimant and his
physical and financial ability further to improve and clear the land for cul-
tivation from year to year; the amount of land embraced in the entry
which is agricultural in character if land is denuded of timber; the char-
acter, situation, and altitude of the land, and whether, if on a steep hillside,
it can be made to produce paying crops or support at any time the claimant
and his family ; quality, kind, size, and value of standing timber on the claim ;
remoteness of the claim from the nearest town and means of access to it;
presence of sawmills in the vicinity of the claim; whether the claimant fol-
lowed the clearing of timber areas by cultivation as rapidly as his means and
ability permitted; the character and kind of fences, or ditches, if any; the
dates, duration, nature, and purpose of claimant's absence from the claim;
where he lived or stayed during such absence and how he was employed, and
the disposal of his stock, if any, during that time ; the residence of claimant's
family during the time of claimant's residence on or absence from the land.
In brief, Forest officers should report every circumstance which would deter-
mine whether the claim is the permanent home of the claimant, to the exclu-
sion of a home elsewhere, or whether the primary purpose in making an entry
was to acquire title to the land for the purpose of disposing of the timber on
it by sale, immediately or shortly after final proof, or for a purely speculative
purpose, or for some other use than residence and cultivation.

Special Uses —

Supervisors' Permits — Dams, Reservoirs, and Conduits. — Many supervisors
continue to issue special-use permits for dams, reservoirs, and conduits without
first referring the applications to the Supervising Engineer of the Reclamation
Service, as required on page 8 of the circular of instructions on special uses,
dated July 19, 1907. The report accompanying the Forester's copies of super-
visors' permits for dams, reservoirs, and conduits must always show that the
permits are approved by the Supervising Engineer. The present addresses of
the Supervising Engineers of the Reclamation Service are as follows :

Southern Division : Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado River drainage
in Wyoming, and California south of Tehachapi — L. C. HILL, Phoenix, Ariz.

26

Pacific Division : Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and California north of
Tehachapi — D. C. HENNY, 307 Tilford Building, Portland, Oreg.

Northern Division : Montana, North Dakota, and Yellowstone drainage in
Wyoming — H. N. SAVAGE, Huntley, Mont.

Central Division: Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma,
and North Platte drainage in Wyoming— I. W. McCoNNEix, Montrose, Colo.

Idaho Division : Idaho and Snake River drainage in Wyoming — D. W. Ross,
Boise, Idaho.

Commercial Power Plants — Corporations. — Hereafter all applications by cor-
porations for special-use permits for commercial power plants must be accom-
panied by duly certified copies of the companies' articles of incorporation,
unless such evidence of incorporation has already been filed with the Forester.
Such copies must be forwarded by the supervisor to the Forester with the
applications.

Special-Use Permits — Act of Jane 11, 1906. — Supervisors should not record
special-use cases as closed when they receive notice that the land involved has
been listed. The listing of the land with the Secretary of the Interior as agri-
cultural, with the recommendation that it be opened to entry, does not change
the legal status of the land nor aifect any special-use permit covering the land.
When the land becomes open to entry, however, any special-use permit covering
the land terminates. Therefore, supervisors should record special-use cases
as closed, and notify the Forester immediately after the land involved becomes
open to entry.

A plan for notifying supervisors of the dates upon which lands will become
open to entry under the act of June 11, 1906, is under consideration and will
be put into effect when the Department of the, Interior secures additional
funds for advertising and resumes the opening of lands to entry under the act.

Record of Diversion of Water —

Whenever a diversion of water for use in the administration of a National
Forest has been actually made, the record required by the instructions, page 40,
Use Book, should be promptly submitted.

The statement should be accompanied by a plat on a tracing-linen map sheet
(Form 220). This plat should show the situation, course, and distance of the
stream from which the diversion of the water is made, the method of the
diversion, and the amount of water taken, in cubic feet per second, instead of
miner's inches, as stated in the form of report 271. The soil formation of the
land upon which it is to be used should also be given, as the amount of water
necessary depends upon the character of the soil, loose, open soil requiring more
than a close one.

Future needs should be anticipated, and notes should be made of all cases
in which diversion of water may later be required for administrative purposes,
with a view to incorporating them in a future report.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Floor Covering1 —

In many supervisors' offices the floor covering best adapted to local condi-
tions has not been used. A well-laid floor of wood kept in good condition by
painting or oiling needs no covering. Linoleum is best adapted to worn and
uneven floors or those made of inferior lumber. In order to prevent the lino-
leum from wearing unevenly, the floor should be planed and covered with paper

27

before the linoleum is put down. Carpets and rugs should be used only
when linoleum can not be purchased, or when the floor is too rought for its
use. Supervisors may purchase paint, oil, linoleum, or carpets and rugs when
necessary, provided their allotment permits.

Brands for Horses and Mules —

A brand has been adopted for horses and mules owned by the Forest Service.
Supervisors are requested to have all Government animals of this kind branded
U. S. on the left hip. The brand should be neat and uniform and should not be
over 4 inches high and should be attached to one handle. Necessary branding
irons may be purchased for this purpose.

SERVICE ORDERS.

SERVICE ORDER 10.

JANUARY 24, 1908.

Record of Telephone Conversations.

Serious confusion and misunderstanding will result if Supervisors and Forest
officers fail to keep a record of all telephone conversations which relate to official
business. Hereafter, Supervisors will keep memorandums of all telephone con-
versations between themselves and subordinates involving instructions, either
partial or complete. Each memorandum should be dated and signed by the
Supervisor at the time the message is sent and should be filed in the same man-
ner as a carbon copy of a letter. Every Forest officer receiving instructions by
telephone should enter such instructions at once in his diary so that there may
be a check from each end.

Similar memorandums should be made of all important telephone conversa-
tions with Forest users which form the basis for action or which modify
current action. When such a memorandum is made by a subordinate officer,
it should be in duplicate; one copy for his own files, and one copy to be for-
warded immediately to the Supervisor.

A memorandum relating to a specifically designated case should bear the
designation of the case, and should be filed with the other related papers.

This order is supplemental to the instructions regarding records, on page 151

of the Use Book.

Mailing- of Letters to the Forester.

Hereafter, all letters written to the Forester in the offices of chief inspectors
and supervisors, will be mailed in one envelope for each day's work. A special
desk basket will be set apart, in which all mail intended for the Washington
office will be deposited, with inclosures securely attached to letters. At the close
of the day the letter, without being folded, will be placed in a large envelope,
and mailed. Printed envelopes will be furnished on requisition. When the
day's mail consists of but one letter, however, the letter should be folded and
mailed in an envelope of the ordinary size.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

Promise Record and Follow-Up System —

A system of recording promises and following up matters involving future action
has been devised and will be put in operation as soon as instructions now in prepa-
ration can be issued. By this system the method of filing promise and reminder
cards in use in the Washington office will be extended to the offices of chief inspectors
and supervisors, and to all regular field headquarters of the Forest Service except
rangers' headquarters, where desk calendars will be used. A convenient method is
provided for keeping record of requests made for report or other action.

The equipment for the promise-card record will be the standard office promise-
card box, daily and monthly time guides, 3 by 5 inches, and white cards, 3 by 5
inches. The same equipment will be used in the follow-up system, with the addi-
tion of printed cards to accompany papers sent into the field for report. Chief
inspectors and supervisors who have not already been supplied with promise-card
boxes and the accompanying white cards and daily and monthly time guides should
make requisition for them at once.

LAW.

Trespass —

The decision in the case of United States c. Shannon (see Use Book, p. 210) ren-
dered March 18, 1907, by the United States circuit court for Montana, was affirmed
on February 3 by the circuit court of appeals, ninth circuit.

Complaint was filed on February 11 by the United States attorney for Colorado
against John C. Teller, of Denver, Colo., the Union Pacific Railroad, and the Carbon
Timber Company for $363,795, the value of 921,000 railroad ties which are alleged to
have been cut in trespass upon the Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT.

Payments in Timber Sales —

Regulation 26 of The Use Book, as well as all timber sale contracts which have
not been formally modified, requires that the timber shall be paid for in advance of
cutting. In sales in which a bond has been given it is necessary that payments be
kept well in advance of the actual cutting, in order that there may be no danger of
relieving the sureties from liability. Payments should be checked by supervisors
upon the receipt of cutting reports from the field. . The attention of Forest officers is
particularly directed to the fact that the actual cut, rather than the amount of timber
scaled, should be the basis for the deposits, since in many contracts the amount of
timber cut necessarily exceeds, to a considerable extent, the amount scaled.

(14)

15

Approval of Timber Sale Contracts —

In timber sales in which a bond is not required and the new form of contract
(Form 202, revised January, 1908) is issued, the words in the approval clause,
''Subject to proper execution by purchaser," should be stricken out, and the con-
tract should not be approved until properly executed by the purchaser. When a
bond is required, the contract and bond should be approved, subject to proper exe-
cution by the purchaser, and the purchaser and sureties should be required to execute
the bond and contract on the same day.

Location in Advertised Sales —

In describing the location of the timber to be included in advertised Class B and
Class C sales, it is essential that, whether the land is surveyed or unsurveyed, the
location be given with reference to watershed or some well-known natural objects,
as well as by the legal or approximate legal subdivision, so that if by any chance a
mistake is made in naming the subdivision it will not be necessary to readvertise
the timber.

Letters of Transmittal —

The original and duplicate of the letter of transmittal for the first payment in
Class A sales should bear the name of the Forest officer who approves the sale.
Under Regulation 24, page 63, of The Use Book, all Forest officers whom the super-
visor may designate, with the approval of the Forester, are authorized to make Class
A sales of green and dead timber.

Notice of Closure —

Form 629, Notice of Closure, has been canceled. Timber sale, timber trespass,
timber settlement, and sawmill cases will be closed by a letter instead of by Form 629.

Reports of Timber Cut—

From the reports of inspectors and the files in the timber sales office, it seems that
many supervisors do not have a routine method of knowing whether cutting reports
are being submitted when due. In many of the Class A and B sales, cutting reports
have not been submitted, though the time allowed for the cutting and removal of
the timber has long since expired. Every timber sale contract allows a definite time
for the cutting or removal of the timber. In unadvertised sales, the supervisor
should make a promise card which should be so filed in the promise card box, that
he may call the case to the attention of the Forest officer in charge, a short time
after the expiration of the contract, and request him to submit a report of timber
cut, or make definite recommendation as to what action should be taken in the case.
The supervisor may, of course, require reports from the Forest officer in charge of
the sale, at such intervals as he may deem necessary, but only one report is required
by the Forester. In advertised sales, reports should be submitted to the Forester
covering periods of 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks, as may be required by the supervisor. (See
page 91 of The Use Book, and instructions on Form 820. ) Having decided how
often reports will be required, the supervisor should, if necessary in order to call it
to his attention, make promise cards from time to time to see whether the reports
are being submitted as required. When the cutting is suspended in sales above
$100, the supervisor should notify the Forester of this fact, and also of the probable
time when cutting will be resumed, in order that the records in the Washington
office mav show the correct status of the sale.

16

Snag's on Cut-over Stands —

The presence of old snags on cut-over stands is often a serious menace to the For-
est, constituting the worst enemy the Forest officer has to contend with in burning
brush or in fighting forest fires. Whenever the presence of snags is considered a
menace to reproduction or gives the Forest an unsightly appearance, supervisors may
stipulate that they be cut on any timber sale which they may recommend. The
applicant should definitely understand that these snags are to be cut, whether they
contain merchantable timber or not, if such an agreement is made. In many pro-
spective sales it is possible that a slight reduction in the stumpage price should be
considered, in order to effect the cutting of these snags where they are numerous.

Seizure or Recaption —

The right of seizure, or, more correctly speaking, of recaption, is the right of a
person to retake his property in a peaceable manner wherever he finds it. Since the
United States has the same common-law rights and remedies as a private individual,
it follows that the Government and its agents have the same right of recaption as an
individual. Forest officers may, without special instructions, seize timber and other
National Forest property wherever found, even though found upon patented land,
whenever it can be done peaceably and- is necessary to prevent its being sold or
destroyed. It should be seized in all cases while still upon Government land. When
a civil suit has been instituted and a case is in the hands of the Department of Jus-
tice, Forest officers should make seizures only under instructions of the Forester,
except in cases in which an immediate seizure is necessary to prevent the Govern-
ment from loss. In general, no seizure should be made w^hile civil suit is pending,
since the United States, having the choice of recaption or suit in the courts of law,
has chosen the latter.

Timber may be seized, although manufactured into lumber and in the hands of an
innocent trespasser and upon patented land.

Buildings and other improvements upon Government or patented land, erected
from timber cut in trespass from Government land, should not be seized, unless by
instruction of the Forester, since, in a permanent improvement of this nature, there
is no need of immediate action until the full facts have been investigated.

Timber and other property which does not belong to the Government should not
be seized (1) whether upon patented or (2) Government land. The only exception
to this rule is where a trespasser wrongfully mingles timber and other property of
the Government with that of his own, in which case either the whole mass may be
seized, and held until the amount taken from Government land is ascertained, or if
the amount taken from Government land is known, the Forest officer may seize an
equal amount of the commingled mass.

OFFICE OF SILVICS.

Annual Silvical Reports —

Several requests have recently been received from supervisors for copies of the
1906 silvical report of the technical assistant. While such reports will gladly be
supplied when missing from the local files, the work of copying involves considerable
loss of time in the office. Supervisors are therefore requested to have a number of
carbon copies made of the report for 1908, and to retain at least one of these on file
at the National Forest headquarters for future reference.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Affidavits in Cases of Grazing Trespass —

The attention of all Forest Officers is called to the necessity of using great care in
the preparation of affidavits that are intended to be used in the prosecution of per-
sons who have violated any of the rules and regulations for the protection and care
of the National Forests.

Affidavits are declarations in writing and should contain only a definite statement
of the facts as witnessed by the person swearing to the affidavit. Affidavits based
on hearsay are valueless.

An affidavit is not admissible in court as direct evidence, but can be used in rebuttal.
It can be readily seen that to be of any value at all an affidavit must be clear cut,
positive, and to the point, and should not contain anything based on second-hand
information, or that has an indirect bearing on the case. The affidavit should be
complete in itself and should be so worded that it will not be necessary, in order to
make the meaning clear, to add or take away anything.

For example: " I saw 10 head of cattle belonging to John Jones on the Manzano
National Forest on or about January 10." This statement is insufficient because it
does not state the reasons for knowing the cattle were the property of John Jones,
or that the person making the statement knew positively that the cattle were on the
Manzano National Forest; neither does it state anything positive regarding the date.
The same statement correctly worded would read: " I saw 10 head of cattle branded
X-X on the left side, within the Manzano National Forest on Cougar Creek and
approximately 4 miles from the west boundary line of said Forest on January 10.
The X-X brand is the property of John Jones." If the person making the affidavit
is conversant with the facts in the case, the additional statement may be added that
the cattle were trespassing on the Forest.

The above example should be followed in making out affidavits, the wording
being changed to suit the conditions in the case.

The correct affidavit in full would read:

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO,

February 18, 1908.
COUNTY OF BERNALILLO; Territory of New Mexico, ss:

Fred Black, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I saw ten head of cattle
branded X-X on the left side, within the Manzano National Forest on Cougar
Creek and approximately 4 miles from the west boundary line of said forest,
on January 10, 1908. The X-X brand is the property of John Jones.

(Signed) FRED BLACK.

Sworn to and subscribed before me, //. H. Harris, a forest supervisor in the
Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, this eighteenth day of Feb-
ruary, 1908.

(Signed) H. H. HARRIS.

Grazing- and Mining Claims —

Persons who are in legal possession of unperfected valid mining claims have the
right to use such portion of the grass and other forage as is needed for grazing live
stock used in the development of the claims, but they have no right to dispose of the
grass or forage to any other person, or to collect any rental for the use of such claims
for grazing purposes.

The Forest Service holds that unperfected valid mining claims are open to stock
grazed, under permit, upon National Forests so long as the stock does not interfere
with the proper and legal development of the claim. Persons holding unperfected

18

valid mining claims may, without permit, fence such portion of their claims as may
be needed for pasturing live stock used in the mineral development of such claims.
The construction of drift or pasture fences across such claims should not be allowed
when objected to by the claimant, except in cases of urgent necessity and then only,
after report to and specific instructions from the Forester.

The owners of patented mining claims are in full possession of the lands and are
entitled to every use allowed the 'owners or lessees of any other patented land, but
no permit must be issued under the provisions of Regulation 58 allowing stock to be
grazed free of charge in exchange for the use of unperfected mining claims.

Any attempt to use mining claims to control grazing or to get revenue from the
lease or sale of grazing rights should be reported to the Forester in accordance with
the instructions in this issue under claims.

Pastures for Milch and Work Animals —

In cases where the circumstances warrant it, inclosures may, under the provisions
of Regulation 62, be allowed when needed for the proper handling of stock grazed
free of charge, the same as for stock grazed under permit. However, inclosures for
stock exempt from grazing fees should not be of greater area than is needed for ten
head of milch or work animals. From 40 to 80 acres will be sufficient in most cases,
and whenever a larger area than this is allowed, the supervisor should give good
reasons for such action in his report upon the rase.

When an application for an inclosure as above is forwarded to the Forester, the
supervisor should always state that the applicant has no grazing permit, but that he
is entitled to graze the stock under the provisions of Regulation 42.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Photographs and Photographic Equipment —

Notice should be sent to the Forester of the transfer in the field of all films, note-
books, cameras, or other photographic equipment.

When films are developed in the field, they should be numbered on the border in
pencil to correspond with the notebook number. An exact record is kept in the
Section of Photography of all films issued from Washington or bought in the field,
and it is absolutely essential that these films, without exception, be returned to the
Washington office. This applies to blank or defective films, as well as to successful
exposures.

Under the special authorization covering the developing and printing of films in the
field in connection with agricultural settlement wrork, under the act of June 11, 1906,
much confusion has resulted from the practice of attaching films to reports on Form
110, instead of using prints. When it is not possible to furnish prints writh reports,
reference will be made to the numbers on the films.

Each page of an inventory, invoice of, or receipt for property (Form 939) should
be signed, as in the case of requisitions for supplies and photographic equipment.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Advertising- Listed Lands —

The Department of the Interior has resumed advertising tracts of land listed under
the act of June 11, 1906. A copy of each notice sent by the Secretary of the Interior
to the local land officials will be supplied to the Forester, who will forward it at
once to the supervisor of the National Forest involved, to complete his records.

Second Homestead Entries —

The attention of supervisors and field officers is called to the following act of Con-
providing for second homestead entries:

AX ACT Providing for second homestead entries.

Be it enacted hi/ the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of
America in Omf/rrss assembled, That any person who, prior to the passage of this
act, has made entry under the homestead laws, but from any cause has lost, for-
feited, or abandoned the same, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead
law as though such former entry had not been made, and any person applying
for a second homestead under this act shall furnish the description and date of
his former entry: Provided, That the provisions of this act shall not apply to
any person whose former entry was canceled for fraud, or who relinquished the
former entry for a valuable consideration.

Approved, February 8, 1908.

Claims

In the case of Patton v. Quackenbush (35 L. D., 561) it is held by the Secretary
of the Interior as follows:

The fact that lands may be chiefly, valuable for the timber thereon does not
exclude them from settlement and entry under the homestead law, but it must
clearly appear that the settlement or entry upon such lands was made in good
faith for the purpose of making the tract a home; and where the entryman in
such case submits commutation proof and pays a price to cut short the period
of residence required by the homestead law, he invites scrutiny and challenges
judgment as to the good faith of his entry.

Supervisors and Forest officers will take note of this ruling, and in making reports
upon homestead squatter claims or homestead entries will be careful to state every
fact and circumstance that tends to show the good or bad faith of the claimant. In
this connection attention is called to the note under claims in the Field Program
for February. While it is true that the homestead law does not require residence
on the land after final proof, yet where it is asserted that such land is claimed as and
for a home, the fact that claimant does not return to it after final proof has a bearing
on the good faith of such claim or entry, especially in a case where the claim has
upon it a considerable or heavy stand of timber.

The supervisors should take the first opportunity to examine the decision of the
Secretary of the Interior in the case of Patton v. Quackenbush, dated May 9, 1907,
and found in. 35 L. D., 562fand following. The facts in this case show a colorable
compliance with the Homestead Law and an effort to perfect, by commutation proof,
a homestead entry for its timber.

The land contained 11,000,000 feet of timber, worth $1 a thousand. The evidence
showed that the land would only be worth $20 per acre after the removal of the tim-

20

ber, and that it would cost $200 an acre to fell the trees and remove the logs and
brush, leaving the stumps. The claimant had fenced about one-fourth of an acre
and had spent two-thirds of his time upon the land. There was a habitable cabin
and a shed upon the claim and some trail work. After reciting these facts the Secre-
tary held:

Taking into consideration the value of the timber and quality of the soil as
shown by preponderant competent testimony, the meager residence and
improvements, in view of his financial ability, the early final proof and termi-
nation of such residence, and the fact that claimant never had a domestic animal
or fowl on this land or otherwise indicated an intention of permanently residing
thereon, the Department is unable to find in the record any facts on which to
base a holding that the entry was made in good faith, for a home, and not for
speculative purposes, to dispose of the timber on the land.

The Secretary also held that while the law does not require a claimant to return to
the land after proof, the fact that he did not do so had a bearing upon his good faith.

Supervisors should be careful to preserve, in a convenient way, so that ready ref-
erence may be made to them, the published notes under the heading of Claims in
the Field Program from month to month.

A new blank form of report is to be issued shortly for reporting on timber and
stone entries. This form will be made comprehensive and especially adapted to
reports on such claims. Until its issue and distribution to field officers, reports on
timber and stone entries should continue to be made on Form 655, using an insert
sheet if necessary.

In making (final proof, the timber and stone entryman, under the regulations of
the General Land Office, and in accordance with the statement made in his applica-
tion, for purchase, must state that he made a personal examination of each and every
legal subdivision of the tract for which he applies. He is also required to state the
date and the circumstances under which such examination was made.

As far as possible. Forest officers in reporting on timber and stone claims should
ascertain whether the claimant made such personal examination of the land, taking
into account the physical characteristics of the ground, whether mountainous or
steep, and its nearness to traveled roads or trails, and the distance from the claim-
ant's place of residence, where that residence can be ascertained.

Supervisors and other Forest officers will please take note of the following decision
by the Acting Secretary of the Interior, in the case of Grand Canyon Railway Com-
pany v. Cameron, which is found reported in 36 L. D., page 66.

The decision holds that —

Lands belonging to the United States can not be lawfully located or title
thereto, by patent, legally obtained under the mining laws for purposes or
uses foreign to those of mining or the development of minerals; and should it
be shown in the case of an application for mineral patent that the claims
applied for are not located in good faith for mining purposes, but for the pur-
pose of securing control of a trail upon lands belonging to the United States,
susceptible of such control by reason of the surrounding physical conditions,
so as to place the claimant in a position to charge for the privilege of using
the trail, and thereby to prevent the free and unrestricted use thereof by the
public, such claims would be fraudulent from their inception, and patents
thereto could not be obtained under the mining laws.

21

The decision further declares, as a matter of law, that —

The Government is a party in interest in every case involving the disposal
of the public lands, and when such lands are sought to be acquired under any
of the public-land laws it is not only within the power but it is the duty of
the Land Department to see that the lands are disposed of according to law,
and not in violation or evasion of the lawr.

This case arose from charges preferred by the Grand Canyon Railway Company
against Cameron to the effect, among other things, that certain mining and mill-site
locations acquired by Cameron were not held in good faith and for the purpose of
mining or milling, but were located with a view of controlling a certain trail leading
into the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River; that Cameron, on the claims located
by him, had erected certain buildings which he devoted to the entertainment of
tourists for hire, and that he charged such tourists a fee for the use of the trail.

Supervisors will specially report to the Forester every case of any use of a mining
claim other than its development as a mine, or, if a mill site, any use other than for
mining or milling purposes.

Form Letter for Applicants —

The following form letter has been adopted and will be inclosed with all letters
informing applicants, under the act of June 11, 1906, that a portion of their claim
has been favorably reported upon and will be listed if they so desire:

Special Uses —

Free agriculture permits, act of June 11, 1906. — It is extremely important that free
agricultural special-use permits issued to applicants under the act of June 11, 1906,
be confined to so much of the land applied for as, in the opinion of the supervisor, is
chiefly valuable for agriculture. The instructions in The Use Book on this point,
page 51, are very clear, but in many instances have not been followed by the super-
visors. Many applications under the act of June 11, 1906, cover nonagricultural
land which obviously should not be listed. Agricultural special-use permits, whether
free or for charge, must never cover lands upon which the forest conditions should
not be disturbed, since the permittees should of course be freely allowed to clear
the land to the extent necessary for cultivation. In a number of cases supervisors
have failed to confine the permits to lands chiefly valuable for agriculture, and have
then recommended timber trespass proceedings against the permittees, who began
clearing for cultivation. Such inconsistent action must of course be avoided.

22

Rangers' copies of special-use permits. — Inspectors' reports show that rangers, asja
rule, have no copies of special-use permits issued before the present practice was
established of making "Rangers' copies" when preparing agreements (The Use
Book, pp. 46 and 47). Rangers should have copies of all existing special-use permits
in their respective districts, and should be supplied as soon as practicable with copies
necessary to complete their files.

Boundaries —

A proclamation, adding 350,471 acres to the Trinity National Forest, California, was
signed February 3, and on February 18 a proclamation was signed, which added
570,800 acres to the Modoc National Forest, California, and brought the total area
of this Forest up to 859,018 acres.

Changes in Salary Allotments —

Letters regarding changes in the salary allotments are now issued by the Office of
Organization, and supervisors will make the necessary changes in their journal of
expenses upon the receipt of " OO" letters and not await the receipt of "OA" letters.
This change is necessary to prevent duplication of work in the Washington office.

SERVICE ORDERS.

SERVICE ORDER 12.

Use of Intoxicants.

The excessive use of intoxicants by members of the Forest Service is a bar to their
efficiency, and will be dealt with as such. Even moderate drinking by inspectors on
field duty and by officers of the National Forests and of the Washington office in
attendance upon official gatherings and elsewhere can do the Service no good, and
in not a few cases has done harm. It is not competent for the Forest Service to
require total abstinence. It does, however, strongly discountenance drinking by men
upon official duty, and it will take the necessary action whenever the dignity of a
man's office or the effectiveness of his work is reduced thereby. There is no more
effective way in which officers of the Service can strengthen this order than by
their own example.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

LAW.

Sale of Diseased Timber on Mining- Claims —

The right of the Forest Service to sell diseased timber on an unperfected
valid mining claim when the removal of such timber is necessary to protect
other National Forest timber from the spread of the disease, as well as its right
to protect timber purchasers from annoyance by suits in State courts, are in-
volved in the case of Lewis v. Garlock and Ainslie. Lewis is a mining claimant
in the Black Hills National Forest. Garlock and Ainslie are purchasers of in-
sect-infested timber upon an area including Lewis's claim. The terms of the
sale required that the value of the timber be paid to the claimant, but Lewis
refused to allow the cutting of the timber on any terms and brought suit against
the purchasers in a State court. The United States attorney intervened in be-
half of the United States, and on his petition the United States court ordered
the removal of the suit to its docket for trial at Deadwood in May. This was
in conformity with the procedure indicated by the Supreme Court in the case of
Stanley v. Schwalbey (147 U. S., 508, at 513).

State Fence Laws Do Not Apply to National Forests —

The decision of Judge Hunt in the grazing trespass case of United States v.

Shannon (Use Book, pp. 210-220) was, on February 3, affirmed by the United

States circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit, sitting at San Francisco.

)The decision states without qualification that the grazing regulations are rea-

-' sonable and valid and that the State fence laws do not apply to the National

Forests, and that, therefore, the drifting of stock upon the Forests in violation

of the regulations is trespass, notwithstanding the State law.

Mark Kellerup was recently fined $20 and costs in a justice's court for mali-
ciously injuring the Government telephone line upon the Holy Cross National
Forest.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT.

Advertised Class B Sales—

The note on page 15 of the November Field Program evidently does not make
it clear that as soon as each paper in an advertised Class B sale is prepared,
with the exception of the bond, a copy should be sent to the Forester. This is
necessary in order that the Forester may have an opportunity, before the final
contract is executed, to suggest any modifications which may seem advisable.

(13)

16

In conducting advertised Class B sales, supervisors should be very careful to
observe closely the following directions, combining the instructions in the Use
Book, in the circular letter of September 1, 1907, and in past numbers of the
Field Program. As soon as the application, map, estimate, report, marking
rules, and notice of sale have been prepared, a copy of each should be sent to
the Forester, together with the usual duplicate form letter of transmittal for
the advertising deposit. The carbon copy of the notice of sale sent to the
Forester should show the name and place of publication of the newspaper in
which the sale is to be advertised, and a clipping of the first publication should
be forwarded, attached to Form 935. As soon as the contract has been prepared,
a copy should be sent to the Forester; and as soon as the papers have been
executed and approved, the Forester should be notified of the date of execution
and approval. In sales in which a bond is required, a copy of the bond should
be forwarded as soon as it has been executed and approved. If the purchaser
or surety is a corporation, a copy of the evidence of authority of the officer
executing the papers for the corporation should be sent without delay.

In advertised Class B sales, a map should be furnished even when the sale
includes only dead timber.

Excess Cutting- —

In every case when letters of transmittal are issued for excess cutting, the
duplicate form letter of transmittal sent to the Forester should show the
amount of timber for which the excess payment is required. This is essential
in order that proper records of the transaction may be made in this office.
When there are different prices in the sale, it is not possible, in the absence of
this information, to determine accurately the amount of timber for which the
excess payment is required.

Discontinuance of Form 874-6 —

Form 874-6, Report of Timber Cut, for use in the Ranger's Notebook, has
been discontinued, owing to the risk of error in transferring the record of the
scale from this form to the Scalebook. Until further notice, only the regular
Scalebooks and Reports of Timber Cut, Forms 820 and 606, will be used. The
attention of supervisors is again called to the smaller Scalebooks which have
been prepared for use in all small sales. The supply of Form 874-6 on hand
should be destroyed.

Timber Sale Card—

The Timber Sale Card, Form 615, is printed in three different colors —
white, salmon, and blue. The white card is for use in sales of $100 or less;
the salmon card for advertised Class B sales, and the blue card to designate
Forester's sales. The use of these cards will enable supervisors to distinguish
the different sales more readily, and requisitions for any of the cards not in
stock should be made promptly.

Approved Surety Companies —

Supervisors will soon receive lists of the approved surety companies author-
ized to do business in the several States as sole sureties on bonds in favor of
the United States. The list sent to each supervisor will cover only the State
in which his National Forest is located. It wiM be revised from time to
time as changes occur. The changes will be noted in the Field Program, and
it is very necessary that supervisors keep their lists corrected, in order that
there may be no unnecessary delay in approving bonds at the Washington office.

17

Free-Use Permits —

Hereafter, for the sake of uniformity, the year during which free use of
timber, to the value of $20, may be granted under Regulation 19 of The Use
Book will be coincident with the fiscal year. All free-use permits issued during
any year should, therefore, be cancelled or closed not later than June 30 of
that year, whether the material for which they were granted has been obtained
or not. If the material granted under a free-use permit has not been obtained,
and the permittee still desires to obtain it, the supervisor, if he thinks the appli-
cant entitled to the material, should issue a new permit.

Wall Map of the National Forests—

The first edition of the wall map of the United States showing the National
Forests is almost exhausted. Copies were sent to' supervisors and inspectors.
An edition of 5,000 copies, now being printed in six colors, shows, in addition
to the data on the first edition, the forested areas of the United States. This
map will be sold at 50 cents per copy by the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.

OFFICE OF SILVICS.

Catalogue of Books in Field Libraries —

During the last month a list of the books in the field libraries has been pre-
pared and sent to supervisors. This list is arranged alphabetically according
to authors, or by title where no author is given. Pamphlets, circulars, or bulle-
tins bound together in one volume are catalogued separately. The list should
be hung beside the books. Whenever new publications are added to the libra-
ries they should be catalogued at once by typewriting their titles in the blank
spaces left for this purpose between the names of books in the present list.

Monthly List of Current Forest Literature —

The monthly list of current forest literature, which was formerly published
in the Field Program, is now mimeographed and issued separately. Forest offi-
cers who desire to receive this list regularly should apply to the Forester.

Meteorological Observations on the National Forests —

During the coming season it is proposed to establish a number of meteoro-
logical stations on the National Forests, in cooperation with the Weather Bu-
reau, for the purpose of obtaining data in regard to the influence of forests on
climate. It is particularly desired to obtain stations at high altitudes, where
regular observations can be made all the year round. About sixty supervisors
have been written to in regard to the establishment of such stations. Further
information will be furnished on request.

OFFICE OF EXTENSION.

Monthly Progress Letter (Planting? Stations) —

Every supervisor having a planting station on his Forest should hereafter
have the officer in charge of the station submit at the end of each month a let-
ter outlining the progress of nursery and planting work. This should be pre-
pared in duplicate and addressed to the supervisor. The original should be
initialed by the supervisor and forwarded to the Forester, with any sugges-
tions or criticisms he may care to make ; the copy should be retained for the
supervisor's file.

18

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Policy Regarding- Wild Horses—

If the presence of wild horses is seriously damaging the National Forest
range, the supervisor, upon petition of a majority of the permittees of a grazing
district, may allow the horses to be gathered and disposed of according to the
State or Territorial laws, provided public sentiment favors such action. In
such cases, the Forest Service will, upon recommendation from the supervisor,
cooperate in the construction of corrals or fences for the purpose of capturing
the horses.

Forest officers may at any time drive, from the National Forests, horses for
which no permit has been issue'd. However, if the owners of the horses are
known and the ownership is acknowledged, the owners should be allowed to
adjust the matter by paying the grazing fee. If they refuse to apply for per-
mits, then trespass charges should be brought against them and the case con-
ducted in accordance with the general instructions.

Unbranded horses may be handled according to the State estray laws, but
Forest officers can not be allowed to gather such horses for the purpose of using
or selling them, nor can they be allowed to collect any remuneration from any
person for corralling unclaimed horses.

The policy of the Forest Service will be, therefore, to cooperate with the
stockmen or the State or Territorial authorities when these authorities take
the initiative in disposing of wild horses on the National Forests, but the present
laws and regulations do not admit of independent action by the Forest Service.

Applications from persons under Indictment —

Persons who have been regular users of the National Forest range should
not, because of any pending indictments against them for land or timber frauds
against the Government, be refused permits for grazing purposes, for free use
of timber, for pastures, or for other uses in connection with the handling of
their live stock. During the time they are awaiting trial the accused persons
must not be denied any use hitherto enjoyed by them, and upon the continuance
of which their means of livelihood might depend.

However, persons under indictment for land fraud or other crimes against
the Government, when they have not been regular users of the National Forest,
will not be allowed grazing or special use permits until their . innocence has
been established, because to refuse them such permits will not deprive them of
any use hitherto enjoyed, but will merely prevent their acquisition of new rights
pending their trial.

Use of TJnapproved State Land Selections —

Persons who have entered into agreement to purchase or who have leased
from a State any lands which have been selected under authority of an act of
Congress, and the lists of which have been filed with the Commissioner of the
General Land Office but have not been approved, will be allowed the use of
these lands for grazing purposes, pending final action upon the validity of the
selections.

In permits based upon the right to the use of unapproved State selections
the following clause should be inserted:

And provided, That the issuance of this permit gives no right to the use
of the above-described lands, except for grazing purposes, and in case the
selection made by the State is disapproved this permit shall be null and
void.

19

This privilege is allowed because the removal of the annual forage crop does
not affect the permanent value of the land, but the right to remove timber from
unapproved State selections must be denied, because the timber constitutes a
large portion of their value.

Applications for permits under the provisions of Regulation 58 should not in
any case be included in the regular series of numbered permits, and after having
been acted upon they should be filed alphabetically under -a separate guide card
labeled " Use of Private Lands." Samples of the form in which the record
cards, Form 621, should be prepared have recently been sent to all supervisors.

Permits under Regulation 47 —

In cases where the grazing fees are charged on only a portion of the stock
because the range to be used is located only partially within the Forest, it is
important that the calculation be based upon a proportionate part of the stock
instead of a proportionate part of the grazing fees. In no case should the
permit be issued for a larger number of stock than that upon which the fees
have been paid, and the total number of stock to be grazed, both on and off the
Forest, should be indicated by a proviso in the permit. For example, if it is
estimated that A will graze 150 head of cattle on a range located one-third
within the Forest, or one-third of which is Forest land, the application should
be approved and the permit issued for 50 head of cattle, with the proviso that
150 head of cattle will be grazed on range one-third of which is National Forest
land.

Vouchers for Refunds —

The refund of a payment made on account of a grazing or special-use permit
can be made only on the approval of the Forester. The voucher should not be
prepared by the supervisor, because he would be placed in a very embarrassing
position in case the refund is disapproved by the Forester. The claim for a
refund should be forwarded to the Forester with the recommendations of the
supervisor, and, if the claim is allowed, a voucher will be prepared and sent to
the claimant for his signature. It is earnestly requested that supervisors
comply strictly with this regulation.

Trespass Settlement without Prejudic

In all cases where a trespasser has paid the 'damages assessed against hiin»
or has paid the fine imposed upon him by the court as a penalty for having
grazed stock upon the National Forest in trespass, the case will be closed with-
out prejudice, and his subsequent applications for grazing permits or other uses
of the National Forest may be considered upon their merits.

Estimates for Drift Fences-
It is desired that Forest officers give special attention to the need for drift,
division, or boundary fences on the National Forests, and in all cases where
the construction of such fences would be advantageous in controlling stock
grazed under permit or in the prevention of trespass a report and recommenda-
tion, including a map showing the location of the fences and a definite esti-
mate of their probable cost, should be sent to the Forester at once, if such
action has not already been taken, so that the advisability of their construc-
tion may be considered in making the allotment of funds for the coming fiscal
year.

20

Transfer of Grazing Tees —

Grazing fees paid on any Forest may be transferred to the credit of a per-
mit for the same grazing period on another Forest, but under no circumstances
will a transfer be made from one permittee to another or from one grazing
year to another. All adjustments of grazing-fee permits, except as first men-
tioned, must be made by means of refunds.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Property Accounting1 on the National Forests —

A Service Order giving instructions in regard to a new system of property
accounting on the National Forests, to take effect June 1, 1908, will be pointed
in the Field Program for May. By this system two records will be kept by
supervisors, one designated " Forest Accountability," and the other " Individual
Accountability." Under the head of Forest Accountability, will be recorded all
nonexpendable property for which the supervisor is accountable and responsible.
Under Individual Accountability will be kept an individual record of all non-
expendable property issued to subordinates and all property kept on hand by the
supervisors.

On June 1, 1908, each supervisor will prepare an inventory on Form 939, and
send it to the Forester. From this inventory the supervisor will make up both
the Forest and Individual Accountability records. The aggregate number of
articles in each class in the Individual Accountability record must in every case
equal the number of articles on the cards for the corresponding class in the
Forest Accountability record. Each subsequent transaction which affects the
sum total of property on the Forest, whether by purchase, transfer, or certificate
of loss or sale, will be entered on the Forest Accountability recprd. Transactions
which do not affect the sum total of the property on the Forest, such as a trans-
fer between a supervisor and a ranger, or a transfer between rangers, will be re-
corded in the Individual Accountability record.

The Order will give full instructions for the preparation of invoices and
receipts covering transactions between property clerks, supervisors, and sub-
ordinate Forest officers.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Special Uses —

Telephone Permits. — The general telephone contracts entered into between the
Forest Service and telephone companies do not relieve the companies from the
necessity (under Reg. 6 of The Use Book) of taking out special-use permits for
all their lines over Natipnal Forest lands. In fact all such general contracts
expressly provide that special-use permits shall be secured for the companies'
lines crossing National Forest lands. It is very important that all telephone
lines in National Forests, and particularly all such lines operated by companies
with whom the Service has entered into general contracts, be covered by special-
use permits. Supervisors of Forests in which there are any telephone lines not
under special-use permits should givo this matter their immediate attention.

21

New Form for Report on Timber and Stone Entries —

A new form, No. 320, for reporting on timber and stone entries has been pre-
pared and is now ready for distribution. Hereafter Forest officers will be
required to use this form in the investigation of all timber and stone claims.
Supervisors should promptly make requisition on the Washington office for a
number of the forms sufficient to report on timber and stone claims in their
respective Forests.

New Edition of Report on Mill-site Claims-
Attention is called to a new edition of Form 175 (Report on Mill-site Claims).
Supervisors should at once make requisition for supplies of the new edition,
and discontinue the use of the old form.

Recording1 Patented Claims —

Forest officers, immediately on receiving the formal notice of the General
Land Office that a claim has been patented or finally canceled of record,
should enter the fact on their title maps and make a record of it on the " claim "
card in their files for the particular tract.

Reports on Mining1 Claims —

There is some misunderstanding as to the circumstances under which mining
claims should be reported upon. Reports should be made on supposed invalid
locations, to which an active claim is being asserted, if the claimants are inter-
fering with timber sales or otherwise injuring National Forest interests. If
a sufficient description or identification of such locations can not be otherwise
secured, supervisors should get the necessary information from the county
records.

No reports are necessary on locations which have been abandoned, or of
which no use is being made.

Reports on "valid mining locations should not be made until application for
patent is filed, unless claimants are cutting the timber or using the surface for
any purpose other than mineral development, or are doing some other act
indicative of bad faith or injurious to National Forest interests.

In all cases prompt examination should be made and a report forwarded to
the Forester, as soon as it is ascertained that application for patent has been
filed.

Instructions under Regulation 4— The Use Book-
Forest officers should exercise the greatest care to observe the instructions
under Regulation 4 regarding notices of final proof, and must in every case
return the notice to the local land office in due time. The Forester's attention
has been called by the General Land Office to reports from some of the local
Land officers that Forest officers in some cases have neglected to return the
notices properly indorsed, until after the date set for final proof.

Boundaries —

The proclamation creating the Ozark National Forest, Ark., with an area of
917,944 acres, was signed by the President on March 6, 1908.

The proclamation eliminating 109,312 acres from the Lincoln National Forest,
N. Mex., was signed on March 3, 1908. The area of this Forest is now 518,123
acres.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Inspection of Worn-out and Unserviceable Property —

In order to assist the inspectors in examining and condemning worn-out and"
unserviceable Government equipment on the National Forests, and to avoid need-
less loss of time in inspection, supervisors are requested to see that all such
property is collected and stored in some one convenient place, either in each
ranger district or at the supervisor's headquarters, as may be most practicable.
Supervisors can not be relieved of responsibility for the property charged up to
them, until the inspector has taken appropriate action, and_it is to the interest
of the supervisors to see that his request is complied with.

Services of Temporary Employees on Sundays and Legal Holidays —

Where services are rendered by temporary employees on Sundays or legal
holidays, a special certification, signed by the supervisor, is required on the
dubvoucher, to the effect that the services were actually rendered as stated.
Supervisors are requested to make use of the rubber stamps for these Sunday
certificates, which were sent to them in December.

Property Lost or Damaged —

Delay and needless correspondence result from the failure of many Forest
officers to comply with sections 156, 157, and 161 of the Green Book in regard
to the manner of reporting property lost or damaged, on Form 858. The expla-
nation of the loss or damage should be given in sufficient detail to show beyond
a reasonable doubt that it was not due to fault or negligence, and that every
effort toward recovery was made. In case of loss by fire, the place and date
of the fire should be given. Breakage, wear, or damage should also be ex-
plained in detail. In all cases of abandonment of property an explicit state-
ment of the date, cause, and place of abandonment is required. Form 85S
constitutes the final record, and relief can not be given from accountability
for property unless the explanation is full and clear.

General Expense and Improvement Balances —

Some supervisors have found it difficult to keep track of the general expense
and improvement balances in their letters of authorization, owing to the fact
that allotments for administrative expenses and improvements have been, com-
bined in one authorization, called " General Expenses." This difficulty may be
overcome by using a double page in the allotment section of the Journal of Ex-
penses^to separate the authorizations for improvements from general administra-
tive expenses. The first column on the first page should be used for salaries,
as indicated in the book, and the second column for general administrative
expenses. The last column on the opposite page should be used for improve-
ment funds, and a red line drawn diagonally across the unused columns of this
page. The total amount authorized will equal the sum of the general adminis-
trative and improvement allotments as shown in the Journal of Expenses.

The detailed account of each individual project should be kept in the same
manner as hitherto until the new project ledger for keeping this record is re-
ceived. This ledger will be furnished about April 15.

23

Changes in the Forest Service Uniform —

A committee of field men has been appointed to recommend to the Forester
changes in the Forest Service uniform. It is possible that radical changes
will be made, full consideration being given to the various recommendations
which have been received from the field. When adopted, the uniform will
probably be made compulsory for all Forest officers when on official duty on
the National Forests. It is suggested that further orders for the uniform be
delayed until the question has been definitely settled.

Correspondence —

The attention of the Forester has been called to the failure of some Forest
officers to go into sufficient detail in answering letters from users of the Forests
and others asking for information, and to the fact that many letters are brief
to the point of discourtesy. It is not desired that Forest officers go into needless
detail in answering letters, but it is important that all questions be answered
clearly and that no cause be given for criticism on the ground of curtness. The
utmost care should be used to make the correspondence of the Service unob-
jectionable in substance and in tone.

OFFICE OF WOOD PRESERVATION.

Treating- Plants to be Established in the National Forests —

A section has been created in the Office of Wood Preservation for the purpose
of establishing treating plants on the National Forests. The plants will be semi-
commercial in size and will be designed for the treatment of mine timbers, ties,
posts, poles, etc. The principal object of the work is to devise methods for the
more complete utilization of dead timber on the National Forests and timbers of
the so-called inferior species, which, in their natural state, decay too rapidly
to justify their extensive use for structural purposes.

All supervisors interested in the establishment of such plants on their Forests
are requested to communicate through the Forester with the Office of Wood
Preservation.

on March 6, reads as follows :

ized to receive all payments to the Forest Service. The Special Fiscal
Agent, Ketchikan, Alaska, is authorized to receive payments on account of
transactions in Alaska. All other Forest officers are prohibited from re-
ceiving any payments. Payments must be by postal or express money
orders or national-bank drafts on New York City, made payable to the
Treasurer of the United States. Payments to the Fiscal Agent must be
accompanied by printed form letters of transmittal (Form 861), which will
be furnished the payor by the Forest officers. The letter of transmittal
must designate the transaction on account of which the payment is made,
and must be signed by the payor and the Forest officer conducting the trans-
action. A duplicate of the form letter of transmittal, signed only by the
Forest officer for all payments except grazing fees, must at the same time
be sent to the Forester.

Hereafter, in accordance with this regulation, all drafts and money or express
orders will be made payable to the Treasurer of the United States instead of
the Fiscal Agent. They will, however, be sent to the Fiscal Agent as heretofore,
and not to the Treasurer of the United States.

New Form 861 is being printed and a supply will be sent to Forest supervisors
without requisition. Old forms should be destroyed.

SERVICE ORDER 14.

(Amends Service Order 106.)

MARCH 31, 1908.
Promise Record and Follow-up System.

The following procedure is prescribed, to secure uniformity in recording
promises and to provide an adequate follow-up system :

I.— RECORD OF PROMISES. ,

Records of all promises involving future action will be kept in the adminis-
trative offices in Washington and in all permanent field headquarters.

Except in rangers' headquarters, where the records will be kept on desk
calendars, the equipment will consist of a standard promise-card box ; daily and
monthly guide cards, 3" by 5" ; and plain white cards, 3" by 5". When neces-
sary, a one-drawer card index case may be used instead of the cardboard box.

The record of a promise will always be made when the promise is made.
When the date of fulfillment can not be positively determined, an approximate

date will be given: "Not later than " The date of fulfillment will be

written on the first line of the promise card, and any change which may later
become necessary should be entered on the same line. Below the date will
be written the name of the person to whom the promise is made or who is
otherwise concerned. The card will be dated in the lower left-hand corner.
Every card will contain a memorandum of sufficient definiteness to give a clear
understanding of the promised action to any one who may be required to com-
plete it.

The card should be filed in front of the time guide for the date set.

If the promise can not be fulfilled on the date set, the person to whom it was
made will be so informed, and the card will be redated for action, and changed
to the time guide for the new date.

When the action promised is long in advance or dependent upon contingencies
not yet developed, it will be found useful so to file the card that it falls due at
short intervals, until the promise is fulfilled. For example, " Daily " can be
added, and the card kept in the front of the box as a daily reminder, or
" Weekly " can be used "and the card filed under a date a week ahead. By the
same method a semimonthly or monthly reminder can be had. When the
action can not be taken on the date indicated on the card, the latter can be
advanced another period.

If the fulfillment of a promise does not require a letter, the card will be
marked " Filled," and filed with the papers pertaining to the case ; but if the
record is already complete the card will be destroyed.

II.— FOLLOW-UP SYSTEM.

The same equipment will be used to follow up action requested, and the fol-
low-up cards will be prepared and filed in the same way as promise cards.

To follow-up requests from the ofBces in Washington to supervisors and other
field officers for reports or action, a white postal card and a yellow slip, 3" by

5", will be furnished.

(27)

29

The Office concerned will enter on the slip and card by carbon duplication the
date, case heading or subject, and key initials of the office, and forward the card
"to the supervisor with the request for report or action.

The slip will be filed in the Office promise-card box two weeks ahead, as a re-
minder.

The supervisor will enter on the card the date on which he will take the
action required, sign it and mail it as a post card to the forester.

When the card is received by the Office concerned, the reminder slip will be
destroyed and the card filed under the date given by the supervisor.

The promise card will not be used in cases- of the following classes, which
will be handled in the tinle limits specified, in the absence of special instruc-
tions :

Contracts sent out for execution, one month.

Form 935, " Certificate of Publication," three weeks.

Special-use permits and agreements for execution, one month.

ACTION BY THE SUPERVISOR.

The supervisor will check up action which he instructs his subordinates to
take, through the use of a white card and yellow slip, 3" by 5", on which are
printed identical request for the report or other action required. In each case,
both will be filled in, the white card mailed to1 the subordinate, and the yellow
slip filed as a reminder until the action is taken.

The card received from the supervisor should be retained by the subordinate
Forest officer until the required report has been made, and a memorandum of its
character and the date it is due will be entered on his desk calendar^ When
the report is forwarded to the supervisor the card will be destroyed.

SERVICE NOTES FOR MAY.

These notes contain instructions and necessary information for
Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.
LAW.

Legal Proceeding's Recommended —

Alexander Archipelago National Forest — Alaska Copper Company, unlawful occu-
pancy.

Holy Cross National Forest — Fred Light, trespass by drifting stock.

Toiyabe National Forest — Dearcy, timber trespass (criminal).

Washington (Chelan) National Forest — Harry Loughname, timber trespass, and
Holcomb & Prewitt, timber trespass.

Weiser (Idaho) National Forest — Iron Springs Mining Company, timber trespass.

Cases involving1 State Fence Laws —

The trespass case against Fred Light (Holy Cross), above mentioned, involves the
question, whether National Forests are subject to State fence laws. The decision of
Judge Hunt, in the Shannon case (Use Book, p. 210), that the Forests are not subject
to the fence laws, was affirmed by the decision of the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, at San Francisco, on February 3. That decision has
been printed as a circular, for distribution to all Forest officers. It is binding upon
all Federal courts in the ninth circuit, and it is believed that it will be followed by
all other Federal courts. Colorado is in the eighth circuit, and would be governed
by a decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis.

Correction in The Use Book —

Attention is called to The Use Book, page 40, line 12. The words "cubic inches "
should be stricken out and "cubic feet per second, or miner's inches" should be
inserted instead. In order that water appropriations for National Forest uses shall
be valid, it is necessary that these instructions be carefully observed.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT.

Colors of Crayons Used in Scaling—

There seems to be some misunderstanding in regard to the significance of the
various colors of crayons used in scaling. The black crayon is to be used by rangers
and others when the original scale is made. Blue crayons are for the use of inspec-
tors or lumbermen when making a check scale, while red crayons are for the use of
inspectors and lumbermen in case a recheck scale is considered necessary.

OFFICE OF

Laboratory of Forest Pathology—

By a cooperative arrangement with the Bureau of Plant Industry a laboratory of
forest pathology has been established in that Bureau, for the study of all problems
relating to tree diseases. In order to make this cooperation effective in securing the
best possible results, all members of the Forest Service will, in the future, pay par-
ticular attention to the occurrence of tree diseases in the Forests.

Correspondence relating to these matters should be addressed to the Forester, but,
in order to avoid delay and possible deterioration of the specimens, which should
always accompany the correspondence, they should be sent directly to the Labora-
tory of Forest Pathology, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
With each specimen should be sent a slip of paper giving the name of sender, the
name of collector, the place and date of collection, and the name of the tree on
which the specimen was found. Twigs, small branches, woody fungi, and sections
of wood that do not weigh over 4 pounds may be wrapped in paper and mailed.
Leaves may be pressed flat until partially dry, and sent in an envelope. Fleshy
fungi, which are likely to decay in transit, should either be thoroughly dried before
being sent, or should be sent in some preservative liquid — such as alcohol or vinegar.
Specimens too heavy to be sent by mail should be forwarded by express, charges
collect.

Use of Field L ibraries by Rangers —

In order that rangers may be made more familiar with the books in the field
libraries, each supervisor is instructed to send in succession all the books in his
library to each ranger, for his inspection or perusal.

Before starting a book on its rounds, the names of all the rangers who are to
use it should be entered on the charge card found in the pocket on the inside of the
back cover. If there is not enough space on the front for all of the names to be
entered, the back of the card may be used. The book should then be sent to the
ranger whose name comes first on the card, to be returned to the supervisor's office
when he is through with it. The card should be kept on file by the supervisor, in
order that he may know where the book is. As soon as the book is returned by the
first borrower, his name should be canceled from the card, and the book sent to the
man whose name comes next on1 the list. The book should be kept in circulation in
this way until every ranger has had a chance to see it.

In entering the names of the rangers on the cards, care should be taken to see that
each ranger heads the list for at least one book. If there are more than enough
books to go around, two or three books at a time may be loaned to the same man,
provided this will not deprive the supervisor of the use of reference books which he
may need in connection with his work. Rangers should be instructed to return the
books to the supervisor's oftice as promptly as possible after they are through with
them.

The following books are being considered for purchase for field libraries:

Hodgman's Land Surveying.

Copp's Land Laws and Decisions.

Some of the best lumber journals.

A good abridged dictionary.
A decision in regard to these books will be reached within a short time.

Weather Bureau Records —

During the past month a number of meteorological records by cooperative and
voluntary observers of the Weather Bureau have been forwarded through the super-
visors to the Forester. These records are not connected with the proposed coopera-
tive work between the Forest Service and the Weather Bureau, mentioned in the
Field Program for April, and should in all cases be sent directly to the Weather
Bureau.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Protection of Stock and Game —

Hereafter all correspondence and reports dealing with the enforcement of laws or
regulations for the protection of stock and game, including the extermination of preda-
tory wild animals, and with the appointment of Forest officers as Deputy Game
Wardens, will be handled in the Branch of Grazing. All reports made by Inspectors
should include these subjects in Section IV, Grazing, instead of in Section IX, Pro-
tection, Paragraphs 3 and 11, as hitherto.

The Section of Boundaries in the Office of Lands will continue to act upon all mat-
ters relating to the creation of game preserves or to changes in their boundary lines,
but the Branch of Grazing will act upon all matters pertaining to their administration.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

Temporary Employees in the Field —

The Civil Service Commission rules that the designation "Laborer," generally
applied to temporary employees, is not sufficient to enable the Commission properly
to classify such employees. " Hereafter all accounts for the services of temporary
employees must include a definite statement of the character of the labor performed,
how the services were applied, and the period of service, with dates of beginning
and termination. Such a loose statement as From Ma;/ 10 to 25, five days, at $2.00,
should not be given. The exact datee of service should be specified.

Food Supplies —

Reimbursement for meals and lodging of officers in charge of stations and serving
at headquarters is unauthorized under Fiscal Regulation 16. When such officers
purchase food supplies, they should not fail to state on the sub voucher accompany-
ing Form 4, or on the face of Form A, the fact either that Food supplies were used'bi/
me (or by regularly appointed subordinates, giving name or names) while absent from
headquarters on official business (giving dates), or that Food supplies were used exclu-
x/'/v/// by temporary employees, giving the number of employees and inclusive dates of
employment. This is in accordance with Fiscal Regulation 9 (e).

Reimbursement Accounts —

The Comptroller of the Treasury has decided that reimbursement for advances of
private funds to meet other than purely personal expenses is contrary to law, and
that reimbursement accounts must not include expenses incurred by subordinates
or amounts paid to temporary employees for services, except in emergency cases.

In view of this decision, subordinates will hereafter submit their own accounts for
reimbursement of their expenses incurred under proper authority. The account will
be initialed by the supervisor to indicate his approval, and will be forwarded by him
with Form 99. This applies equally to chiefs of parties and their subordinates
engaged upon investigative work.

All charges for services of temporary laborers, for purchase of supplies ( in excess of
$10), or for rent of offices should be submitted on Form A vouchers. If the super-
visor is also a temporary disbursing agent he can, when authorized, pay temporary
employees on Form A, to obviate delay. But it* he is not a disbursing officer he
should not include such payment for* services in a reimbursement account, except
when immediate payment is demanded by the temporary employee, and then the
fact should be fully and clearly shown when the account is submitted for settlement.

Forest officers submitting accounts for reimbursement on Form 4 are required to
certify that the payments have actually been made as stated. This statement would
obviously be false if reimbursement is claimed before payment is actually made.
Such falsification is covered by paragraph 11 of the Fiscal Regulations.

18

Expense of Examining Civil Service Applicants-
Items of expense clearly incident to examinations to establish civil service eligible
lists are not properly chargeable to the appropriations of the Forest Service, and
should not be included in monthly reimbursement accounts. When such expend-
itures have been authorized they should be submitted in separate account on Form 4,
and be sent to this office. After approval they will be forwarded to the Civil Service
Commission.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Brush burners can now be obtained from the Property Clerk on requisition.

OFFICE OF LANDS.

Act of June 11, 1906. Surveys-
Attention is called to the following instructions issued by the General Land Office
to registers and receivers of local land offices. Forest officers examining land applied
for under the act of June 11, 1906, should explain this important ruling to applicants.
It will be noted that only surveyed land is involved:

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
Washington, J\ C., March 12, 1908.
REGISTERS AND RECEIVERS,

United States Land Offices.

SIRS: Your attention is called to paragraph 8 of the regulations of July 23, 1907
(30 L. D., 30), relative to the surveying of lands entered within national forests,
under the act of June 11, 1906 (34 Stats., 233), and you are informed that surveys of
tracts entered under this act will not be required when such tracts can be described
as quarter-quarter sections, or lotted portions of surveyed sections, or as a quarter" or
a half of a surveyed quarter-quarter section or rectangular lotted ' tract, or as "a
quarter or a half of a surveyed quarter quarter-quarter section or rectangular lotted
tract.

The requirements of that paragraph and of the act of June 11, 1906, extend only
to unsurveyed lands and to parts of lotted subdivisions of surveyed sections which
are not rectangular, and not to platted subdivisions or aliquot parts of such platted
subdivisions as are rectangular.

Very respectfully, FRED DENNETT,

Commissioner.

Approved: March 12, 1908.
FRANK PIERCE,

First Assistant Secretary.

Administrative Sites —

If unsurveyed land which is apparently in the primary limits of a railroad grant
is absolutely "needed for administrative sites, supervisors should recommend that it
be withdrawn. If such recommendation is approved, the Forester will endeavor to
secure full relinquishment by the railroad company. '• ,

Expenses Incident to Hearings —

Supervisors should bear in mind that, under Paragraph 6 of Service Order No. 5,
the Forest Service. can not reimburse them for witness fees paid by them on deposi-
tions or on hearings before the local land offices, nor for notaries' fees paid by them
on affidavits to prove service of subpoenas. All such expenses must be paid from
the Land Office funds. The Forest Service can reimburse Forest officers only for
their personal expenses for traveling and subsistence incident to hearings.

When it is not absolutely necessary for Forest officers to attend hearings, or when
it is imperative that they remain upon their Forests, the supervisors should request
the Chief of the Field Division of the General Land Office to take the depositions of
such Forest officers for use at the hearings.

19

Boundaries —

On April 16 the President signed the proclamation uniting the Mount Taylor and
Manzano National Forests in New Mexico under the one name, Manzano National
Forest. The proclamation eliminated 167,156 acres from the old Manzano and made
an addition of 70,636 acres. The area of the old Mount Taylor also was increased
by 113,379 acres, making the total area of the new Manzano 587,110 acres.

On April 20 the President signed the proclamation creating the proposed additions
to the Sierra, amounting to approximately 1,615,992 acres, and at the same time
eliminated 5,760 acres. These additions are located in a strip almost completely sur-
rounding the old boundary and includes the much-discussed Owens River Valley,
and the White Mountains, which parallel the Sierra on the east.

The proclamation adding 197,120 acres to the Jeinez National Forest, New Mexico,
was signed April 24. The present area of the Jemez is 1,657,365 acres.

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

Toll Charges for Telephone Calls —

No toll charges over lines of telephone companies with which contracts have been
entered into by the Forest Service should be paid in cash, but for every telephone call
on which there is a toll charge, Form 221 should be filled out at the time the call is
made. The contract which has been entered into between the Forest Service and the
telephone company with which connection is made should be read carefully, it being
borne in mind that over those lines of the company which are upon the National
Forests the Forest Service receives free use to the nearest exchanges or switch boards
on both sides of the Forest and beyond its boundary. Form 221 should not be filled
out for local calls the cost of which is included in the monthly rental charge.
Telephone tolls paid on Form 221 are paid from a special fund and should not be
entered in the supervisor's Journal of Expenses.

Reporting: Allotment for Permanent Improvement Work —

Attention is called to the circular letter of April 3, requesting supervisors to report
promptly the net amount of their allotment for permanent improvement work in
order that they may be notified of any discrepancies between the records of their
offices and this office.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Marking- Form 4 or Form A —

Hereafter supervisors will please note after each item on Form 4 or Form A the
number of the caption on Form 99, to which it is charged, and where a supervisor
has charge of more than one Forest, the Forest should be indicated by its initial
letter. A great deal of confusion in auditing accounts will thus be avoided.

Forwarding1 Heavy Packages —

The attention of all Forest officers is called to the fact that, under the regulationsl
packages exceeding four pounds in weight may not be sent through the mail. Al.
packages in excess of this weight should be shipped either by express or freight
The Postmaster-General has recently called the attention of the Forest Service to
several instances in which this ruling has been disregarded.

Forest Officers on Furloug-h, as Temporary Laborers-
Supervisors should not employ Forest officers on furlough as temporary laborers
for improvement or other work. The proper procedure is to recommend the restor-
ation of such men to the rolls, at the salary which they were receiving when fur-
loughed. Transfers of money from the improvement fund to the salary allotment
will be made upon request.

SERVICE ORDER 15.

APRIL 30, 1908.
(Amends sections 151 to 155 of the Green Book, issued October 30, 1907.)

Property Accounting- on the National Forests.

f Beginning June 1, 1908, supervisors will keep two records on 4 by 6 cards (Form
331 ), the same form being used in both. One will be designated "Forest Accounta-
bility" and the other "Individual Accountability." A sample of the form is
inclosed. A first supply will be furnished without requisition.

r/L£ OF PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY

Forest Accountability: Under this head the supervisor will record all the nonex-
pendable articles for which he is responsible. A separate card will be used for each
class of articles. For example: Axes, calipers 34", calipers 60", tents 7' by 9',
tents, hospital, etc. After "name" at the top of the card will be written "forest"
to show that the card is a part of the Forest Accountability record. The cards will
be filed alphabetically by names of articles.

Individual Accountability: Under this head will be kept an individual record of all
articles issued to subordinates and of those kept on hand by the supervisor. A sepa-
rate card will be used for each class of articles, as in the Forest Accountability
record, but in the space for name at the top of the card will be written the name of
the subordinate to whom the articles are issued, or the word "Stock," when the
card is used to record the articles kept on hand by the supervisor. These cards will
be tiled alphabetically under guides upon which will be written the name of the
subordinate or the word "Stock."

PROCEDURE.

On June 1, 1908, each supervisor will prepare in duplicate an inventory on Form
939. The word "Inventory" will be written at the top of the form. This inventory
will be designated as Voucher No. 1. One copy will be signed and sent to the
Forester and the other retained in the supervisor's files. From this inventory the
supervisor will make up both the Forest and the Individual Accountability records.
The aggregate number of articles in each class in the Individual Accountability
record must equal the number of articles on the card for the corresponding class in
the Forest Accountability record.

Property in the possession of a supervisor at the time the inventory is made and for
which no invoice has been received from the Property Auditor, must not be included
in the inventory, but will be entered on the Forest Accountability record when the
invoice is received.

All receipts and invoices prior to the date of the inventory will be removed from
the folder and filed for reference.

Each subsequent transaction which affects the sum total of property on a Forest,
whether by purchase, transfer, or certificate of loss or sale, will be entered on the
Forest Accountability record. The voucher covering the transaction will be given
the next higher number.

Transactions which do not affect the sum total of property on a Forest, such as a
transfer between a supervisor and a ranger or between rangers, will be recorded in
the supervisor's office in the Individual Accountability record and not reported to
the Forester. Vouchers which cover transactions involving individual account-
ability will be numbered in a separate series beginning with the number 1.

TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING FOREST ACCOUNTABILITY.

When property is issued by a property clerk to a supervisor, four copies of Form 939
will be prepared. The property clerk will sign two copies as invoices, and will send
one of them and a copy for receipt to the supervisor. He will send the other invoice
to the Forester, and will retain the fourth copy for his files. Upon receiving the
property, the supervisor wilTsign the form for a receipt, give it a voucher number,
make the proper entry in his Forest Accountability record, and return the receipt to
the issuing property clerk, who will forward it to the Forester for the property
auditor. He will retain and file the invoice.

M'hen properly is purcJiased by a supervisor, three copies of Form 939 will be prepared.
Each copy will be given the same voucher number. The supervisor will sign one of
them as a receipt, and will send it and a copy for invoice, with the voucher (Form A
or Form 4) covering the purchase, to the Forester. The third copy will be retained
for his files as a memorandum until the invoice is returned by the Property Auditor,
when it will be destroyed. When the articles are actually received, the supervisor
will make the proper entries in his Forest Accountability record.

When projH'rty is transferred by one supervisor to another, the supervisor making the
transfer will prepare five copies of Form 939. He wilbsign two of them as invoices,
and will forward one invoice, with two copies for receipt to the supervisor who re-
ceives the property. The second invoice will be given a voucher number and will
be forwarded to the Forester for the Property Auditor. The fifth copy will be given
the same voucher number as the invoice sent to the Forester and will be retained as
a memorandum for his files. When the transfer is actually made, he will make the
proper entries in his Forest Accountability record.

The supervisor to whom the property is transferred will, upon receipt of the
property, give a voucher number to the invoice to be retained by him, and will give
the same voucher number to the copy for receipt to'be sent by him to the Forester.
He will also make the proper entries in his Forest Accountability record. He will
sign the duplicate copy for receipt and return it to the supervisor making the transfer.
The latter will give it the same voucher number as his memorandum copy, which
can then be destroyed.

When a supervisor ix relieved of responsibility by Form 858, Property Lost or Damaged,
<>r bi/ Form 217, fair of Government Property outside the District of Columbia (See Green
Book, Sees. l.~><] to 161), he will make the necessary entries in his Forest and Individ-
ual Accountability records. The certificate will be given the next higher voucher
number in the Forest Accountability series, and the original will be sent to the
Forester.

23

TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING INDIVIDTAL ACCOTNTABILITY.

W, hen property is issued to a ratiyer, the supervisor will prepare three copies of Note-
book Form 874-16 (one as a memorandum copy for his tiles), give each the same
voucher number, and send two signed copies to the ranger to whom the property is
issued. The supervisor will make the proper entries in his Individual Accountability
record. The ranger will upon receipt of the articles sign both copies, return one to
the supervisor, and retain and file the other. When the signed copy is received and
filed by the supervisor, the memorandum copy can be destroyed.

When property is transferred &// one ranger to another, the ranger making the transfer
will prepare three copies of Notebook Form 874-16. He will sign two copies and
send them to the ranger to whom the property is transferred, retaining one as a mem-
orandum. When the transfer is made in person, the memorandum copy will be
omitted. The ranger to whom the property is transferred will, upon receipt of the
property, sign both copies, retain one for his files, and send the other to the ranger
making'the transfer, who will forward it to the supervisor. The supervisor will give
it a voucher number, make the proper entry in his Individual Accountability record,
and file the receipt. Before filing the receipt, the supervisor will make and sign two
copies of Form 874-16. He will send one to the ranger making the transfer and the
other to the ranger to whom the articles have been transferred. In case a memo-
randum copy was kept by the ranger transferring the property, this copy can be
destroyed when the supervisor's signed copy is received.

When property is issued by rangers to temporary employee*, Form 943, Temporary
Transfer of Property, will be used to cover the transaction.

On the last day of each quarter the supervisor will send to each ranger a list of the
property charged to him on the Individual Accountability record. He will prepare
two copies of this list on Form 330, sign one of them as an invoice, and send both to
the ranger. The ranger will check up his property, sign one copy of the list as a
receipt, making an appropriate note on it in case the account is incorrect, and return
it to the supervisor. As soon as the correctness of the list is established it will be
filed, and all previous inventories, invoices, and receipts will be destroyed.

On June 1 and December 1 of each year the supervisor will send the Forester an
abstract of his Forest accountability record. This abstract will be made on Form
330, a copy of which is inclosed.

SERVICE ORDER 16.

APRIL 30, 1908.
Reports on Predatory Animals Killed by Forest Officers.

Beginning June 1, each supervisor upon whose Forests rangers or guards are
employed as hunters will submit a monthly report to the Forester showing the
work accomplished during the preceding month in the extermination of predatory
animals. This report should be a summary of the hunter's daily service reports
riled in the supervisor's office. It should be prepared in duplicate by the hunter,
who will send both copies to the supervisor, with his service report, at the end of
each month. The supervisor will retain one copy and send the other to the
Forester. In this report the number of animals of each kind killed should be
stated; also the manner in which they were killed, whether by trap, gun, poison,
or dogs, and any other information which may be of interest.

A new form ( No. 343) to be used in making this report will be furnished upon
requisition. Predatory animals killed by Forest officers other than hunters should be
reported by them only in their daily service reports, and supervisors should com-
pile the data at the end of each month and submit a report to the Forester by
letter.

Preliminary Decision, in Case Against Fred Light —

In the grazing trespass case (injunction) against Fred Light (Holy Cross
National Forest) a preliminary decision was rendered on April 29, 1908, by
Judge Lewis, of the United States circuit court for Colorado, overruling the
trespasser's demurrer to the bill filed by the Government. This case was
brought in pursuance of an agreement made in June, 1907, at Denver, between
officers of the Service and representatives of the Colorado Cattle and Horse
Growers Association, for the purpose of testing whether the National Forests
are subject to State fence laws. In the meantime the same question was de-
cided in favor of the Government in the Shannon case. by the United States
circuit court of appeals, at San Francisco. Mr. Light's attorneys argued that
the permanent reservation of National Forests in Colorado without the consent
of the State was unconstitutional; that the State fence laws applied to National

15

16

Forests and therefore the Government had no remedy for trespass by drifting
stock unless the Forest was fenced ; and that the grazing regulations are invalid.
Judge Lewis decided the issues of law against the trespasser without handing
down any written opinion. Although the purpose of the Service in making
the agreement of last June was to get a decision of the legal question upon an
agreed statement of facts, Mr. Light's attorneys, after their demurrer was
overruled, filed an answer denying the facts alleged by the Government. The
issues of fact will therefore have to be tried in Judge Lewis's court. Nearly
all other grazing trespass cases in Colorado have been settled.

Right to Restrict Exploitation of Natural Resources —

The right of the public to restrict landowners in the exploitation of the
natural resources of their ]ands has been recently affirmed by tw*o important
judicial decisions.

On March 10, 1908, the judges of the supreme judicial court of Maine, in
response to questions from the State senate as to the constitutionality of pro-
posed legislation to restrict timber cutting on private lands, gave their opinion,
as required by the State constitution, that it is within the power of the legis-
lature to regulate or restrict the cutting or destruction of trees on wild or un-
cultivated land by the owner thereof in order to prevent or diminish injurious
droughts, freshets, erosion, and the silting up of rivers, ponds, and lakes, and
to protect, preserve, and maintain the natural water supply.

The judges were further of the opinion that such restriction and regulation
is not a taking of private property for public use, and therefore that it would
not be necessary for the public to pay any compensation to the landowners.
After citing many decisions by the courts of Massachusetts and Maine concern-
ing the right of the public to restrict the use of private property, the judges say :

There are two reasons of great weight for applying this strict con-
struction of the constitutional provision to property in land : First,
such property is not the result of productive labor, br.t is derived solely
from the State itself, the original owner; second, the amount of land
being incapable of increase, if the owners of large tracts can waste them
at will without State restriction, the State and its people may be help-
lessly impoverished and one great purpose of Government defeated.
. Regarding the question submitted in the light of the doctrine above
stated (being that of Maine and Massachusetts at least), we do not think
the proposed legislation would operate to " take " private property within
the inhibition of the Constitution. While it might restrict the owner
of wild and uncultivated lands in his use of them, might delay his taking
some of the product, might delay his anticipated profits and even thereby
might cause him some loss of profit, it would nevertheless leave him his
lands, their product and increase, untouched, and without diminution of
title, estate, or quantity. He would still have large measure of control
and large opportunity to realize values. He might suffer delay but not
deprivation. While the use might be restricted, it would not be appro-
priated or " taken.''

The foregoing considerations lead us to the opinion at present that the
proposed legislation for the purposes and with the limitations named in
the senate order would be within the legislative power, and would not
operate as a taking of private property for which compensation must
be made.

This opinion is signed by six of the seven judges composing the State supreme
oourt. Justice Savage declined to give an opinion, because he considered that
the constitutional provisions of the State constitution requiring such opinions
on " solemn occasions " was inapplicable in this instance, since the solemnity
ceased to exist nine days before the request reached him.

The Supreme Court of the United States on April 6, 1908, affirmed, in the
case of the Hudson County Water Co. v. McCarter, the decision of the Court
of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey, holding that a State statute is constitu-
tional and valid which prohibits " any person or corporation to transport or
carry, through pipes, conduits, ditches, or canals, the waters of any fresh-water
lake, pond, brook, creek, river, or stream of this State into any other State, for
use therein." The Supreme Court says :

17

It sometimes is difficult to fix boundary stones between the private
right of property and the police power when, as in the case at bar, we
know of few decisions that are very much in point. But it is recognized
that the State as quasi sovereign and representative of the interests
of the public has a standing in court to protect the atmosphere,- the
water, and the forests within its territory, irrespective of the assent or
dissent of the private owners of the land most immediately concerned.
(Kansas v. Colorado, 180 U. S., 125, 141, 142; S. C., 206 U. S., 46, 99;
Georgia v. Tennessee Copper Co., 206 U. S., 230, 238.) What it may
protect by suit in this Court from interference in the name of property
outside of the State's jurisdiction, one would think that it could pro-
tect by statute from interference in the same name within. On this
principle of public interest and the police power, and not merely as the
inheritor of a royal prerogative, the State may make laws for the preser-
vation of game, which seems a stronger case. (Geer v. Connecticut,
161 U. S., 519, 534.)

The problems of irrigation have no place here. Leaving them on one
side, it appears to us that few public interests are more obvious, indis-
putable and independent of particular theory than the interest of the
public ofxa State to maintain the rivers that are wholly within it substan-
tially undiminished, except by such drafts upon them as the guardian of
the public welfare may permit for the purpose of turning them to a more
perfect use. This public interest is omnipresent wherever there is a State,
and grows more pressing as population grows. It is fundamental, and we
are of the opinion that the private property of riparian proprietors can
not be supposed to have deeper roots. Whether it be said that such an
interest justifies the cutting down by statute, without compensation, in
the exercise of the police power, of what otherwise would be private
rights of property, or that apart from statute those rights do not go to
the height of what the defendant seeks to do, the result is the same.
But we agree with the New Jersey courts, and think it quite beyond any
rational view of riparian rights that an agreement, of no matter what
private owners could sanction the diversion of an important stream out-
side the boundaries of the State in which it flows. The private right to
appropriate is subject not only to the rights of lower owners but to the
initial limitation that it may not substantially diminish one of the great
foundations of public welfare and health.

We are of opinion, further, that the constitutional power of the State
to insist that its natural advantages shall remain unimpaired by its citi-
zens is not dependent upon any nice estimate of the extent of present use
or speculation as to future needs. The legal conception of the necessary
is apt to be confined to somewhat rudimentary wants, and there are bene-
fits from a great river that might escape a lawyer's view. But the State
is not required to submit even to an aesthetic analysis. Any analysis
may be inadequate. It finds itself in possession of what all admit to be
a great public good, and what it has it may keep and give no one a reason
for its will.

In neither of these cases was there any controversy between the State and
National Governments as to their respective powers. In both cases the question
at issue was simply the right of the public to restrict the use of private property.

Eight to Print Forms in the Field-
By decision of April 29, 1908, the Comptroller of the Treasury held that the
printing of forms necessary for the administration of the National Forests need
not be done at the Government Printing Oflice, because the Forest Service is a
field service and not an " Executive Deparment " within the meaning of the act
of June 12, 1895, section 87 (28 Stat, 622). For the same reason, the Comp-
troller said that the provisions of the act of June 30, 1906 (34 Stat., 697, 762),
requiring the submission to Congress of annual estimates of the expense of
printing and binding for " each of the Executive Departments, their bureaus
and offices, and other Government establishments at Washington " do not apply
to the Forest Service.

Withdrawal of Land for Administrative Sites—

By letter dated March 20, 1908, the Secretary of the Interior held that pub-
lic land outside the Xation.il Forests, in the States of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana. Colorado, and Wyoming, may be withdrawn for use as admin-
istrative sites by the Forest Service, notwithstanding the provision of the agri-
cultural appropriation act of March 4, 1907 (34 Stat, 1271, Use Book, p. 169),
that no addition to National Forests in those States shall be made except by act
of Congress. He said :

The proposed withdrawal is not to be made under the laws authoriz-
ing the creation of forest reserves. The prohibition of the act of March
4, 1907, which was clearly directed against the exercise of authority
given by those laws, should not be enlarged by construction to include a
prohibition against the exercise of the recognized power of the Executive
to set apart portions of the public land for a public use.

On May 15, 1908, however, the Comptroller of the Treasury decided that the
current appropriation for General Expenses, Forest Service, can not be used for
the purchase of administrative sites in these States.

Refund Entries on Cards —

In a timber sale, timber settlement, or timber trespass, when a Form A re-
fund voucher, properly signed by the person to whom the refund is to be made,
is forwarded to the fiscal agent by the supervisor, the latter should enter on the
card the amount to be refunded, as though the refund had already been made.
In case a voucher is not approved, the supervisor will be notified by the office
of accounts, and the refund entry should then be stricken out on the card. The
snme procedure should be followed when a voucher for refund is sent to the
supervisor from the Washington office.

Free Use — Discontinuance of Form 874-9 —

Form 874-9 has been discontinued, and all officers in charge should see that
the supply of this form is destroyed at once. Form 874-8, " Revision of Febru-
ary 1," will be used instead. This form should bo made out in triplicate, and
the issuing officer, after approving it, should give one to the permittee, send
another to the supervisor, and retain the third for his own information.

OFFICE OF

Additions to Libraries —

The student's edition of the Standard Dictionary and Hodgeman's Land Sur-
veying have been purchased and will be placed in the field libraries.

A large number of colored slides illustrating conditions in the newly created
Glacier National Park, Montana, have recently been added to the collection.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Agricultural Lands Within Pastures —

Application for the inclosure of both pasture and agricultural lands, in cases
where the amount of agricultural land is not more than 40 acres, may be desig-
nated as " Pasture," and one permit may be issued covering both uses of the
Forest. The fee should be based upon a charge of not less than 25 cents per
acre for the agricultural land and not less than 4 cents per acre for the pasture
land, in accordance with the regulations.

19

Grazing on Squatters' Claims —

Kona fide squatters who reside upon lands within the National Forests which
have been examined and recommended for listing under the act of June 11,
IIMM;. and who have a sufficient amount of land under cultivation to show
compliance with the law; and bona fide settlers on unsurveyed lands who have
not made application for an examination of the land under the act of June
11, 1906, but who are awaiting survey with the intention of making entry under
the homestead act, may be allowed permits, under Regulation 58, for grazing the
number of animals the. land claimed will support, for areas not in excess of 160
acres. This matter is in the hands of the supervisors, because it hinges on the
point as to whether the squatters have made bona fide settlement or not. In
rase there are conflicting claims, the rights of neither claimant should be recog-
nized until the matter has been adjusted by the General Land Office.

Appointment of Forest Officers as Live-Stock Inspectors —

It is the policy of the Forest Service to have its officers assist the proper
State officials in the enforcement of all quarantine and live-stock laws, but it is
not deemed advisable to have Forest officers appointed as live-stock inspectors,
unless a majority of the users of the Forest request it and there is a distinct
understanding that their duties as live-stock inspectors must not be allowed to
interfere in any' way with their duties as Forest officers, and that they can not
be allowed to collect and retain any fees for live-stock inspection work. When-
ever a Forest officer secures evidence of any violation of the live-stock laws, he
should immediately inform the proper State officials and give every possible as-
sistance in the enforcement of the law.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

Account Current —

The attention of disbursing agents is called to the necessity of making com-
plete the information called for on the Account Current concerning the "Amount
on deposit with the assistant treasurer, San Francisco, and outstanding checks."
To do this, disbursing agents should wait for the report of the Assistant Treas-
urer showing checks which have been paid by him, but in no case should the
delay extend beyond the 15th of the month following the end of the quarter.
Under the law, disbursing accounts must -be transmitted not later than twenty
days after the close of the quarter.

The amount of the outstanding checks is the total of all checks not reported
paid by the Assistant Treasurer. This total, deducted from the amount shown
as on deposit (plus cash on hand, if any), is the amount due the United States
on the last day of the quarter for which the account is submitted.

OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

Return of Property to Property Clerk —

Special attention is called to the necessity of inclosing a memorandum with
each article returned by express, freight, or mail to the property clerk. This
memorandum should indicate the number and kinds of articles and, especially,
the name and address of the sender. At the same time that a package is sent,
a letter directing the disposition of the articles should also be forwarded under
separate cover. The property clerk is continually receiving packages which
contain no memorandums of this kind, and it is almost impossible to tell by
whom thev are turned in.

20

Express and Freight Addresses —

In making requisition for supplies supervisors and other members of the
Service in the field should send to the Chief of Maintenance definite instruc-
tions giving the exact points to which freight, express, and mail shipments
should be made. This will greatly expedite the receipt of supplies. There has
been considerable delay caused by shipping supplies by freight and express to
points which are not situated on any railroad. In such cases, transportation
companies sometimes deliver the goods to the nearest point on the railroad,
when specific directions are not given concerning them.

OFFICE OF LAISDS.

Letters to Supervising Engineers, Reclamation Service —

The Reclamation Service has requested that all letters to the supervising
engineers of that Service be addressed to them by title and not by name; as,
for example, " Supervising Engineer, Reclamation Service, Phoenix, Ariz." For-
est supervisors will carefully observe this request, in order to avoid delays
when supervising engineers are changed.

The engineering divisions of the Reclamation Service and the addresses of
the supervising engineers are as follows :

Southern Division — Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Southern Cali-
fornia ; Supervising Engineer, Phoenix, Ariz.

Pacific Division — Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada ;
Supervising Engineer, Portland, Oreg.

Northern Division — Montana, North Dakota, and Northern Wyoming ; Super-
vising Engineer, Huntley, Mont.

Central Division — Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Nebraska, and
Southern Wyoming; Supervising Engineer, Montrose, Colo.

Idaho Division — Idaho ; Supervising Engineer, Boise, Idaho.

Reports on Administrative Sites —

When the examiner of tracts of land under the act of June 11, 1906, recom-
mends the tract for an administrative site, the supervisor, upon receipt of the
report, should, if he approves the recommendation of the examiner, submit
a report on Form 271, accompanied by a tracing linen plat of the site, according
. to the instructions in part 4 of Service Order No. 23.

This will make it unnecessary to return the examiner's report to the super-
visor, and will greatly expedite the handling of the reports on administrative
sites by the Section of Boundaries.

Reports of Improvements Upon Administrative Sites —

All reports which furnish information in regard to improvements upon
administrative sites should be accompanied by a duplicate carbon copy, in order
that the facts regarding the improvements may be made of record in the Office
of Engineering as well as in the Office of Lands.

Administrative Sites — Surveys —

The attention of supervisors is called to the importance of having all surveys
for ranger stations or other purposes made as accurate as possible. Many re-
quests for withdrawals are sent in which can not be approved, on account of
mistakes in the field notes or in the plat, and must be returned to the field offi-
cer for correction. The most frequent errors are the following : Failure to give
size of corners, whether of wood or stone ; omission of the statement that mark-
ings are placed in a blaze on a tree : failure to give two witness points ; failure
to state size of mounds at corners ; failure to describe how the corner is placed

21

in the ground ; neglecting to connect the Forest Service monuments with the
initial corner; and not giving variation used. The variation used is invariably
omitted, and, in many cases, the acreage is not correctly calculated, the surveys
do not close within the limit of error allowed by the Forest Service, six copies
of the field notes are not sent, india ink is not used in making plat, and often
the field notes are not signed by the surveyor or approved by the supervisor.
The work can be much expedited if the supervisors will consider these points
before approving of reports.

Free Agricultural Permits —

Care should be taken to avoid issuing free agricultural permits to applicants
under the act of June 11, 1906, who have not a preference right under the act.
This has been done recently in many cases. By an examination of the weekly
lists of applications sent them by the Forester, supervisors can always ascertain
who appears to have the preference right of entry by reason of prior appli-
cation.

Boundaries —

The Executive order eliminating 1,840 acres from the San Juan National
Forest Colorado, was signed on April 24, 1908. The elimination is in T. 36 N,
R. 6 E., New Mexico principal meridian.

On May 15 the President signed the proclamation changing the name of the
Garden City National Forest to Kansas National Forest, and adding 205,107
acres to the Forest. The present area of the Kansas National Forest is 302,387
acres. Please note that there is now no Garden City National Forest.

The proclamation enlarging the Dixie National Forest was signed May 22.
The addition is what is known as the proposed Trumbull National Forest, in
Arizona, and has an area of 626,800 acres. The proclamation also eliminated
1,600 acres from the old Dixie. The total area of the Dixie in Utah and
Arizona is now 1,091,120 acres.

Follow-up Cards, Form 326—

It has been decided that follow-up cards, Form 326, will not be attached
to plats wrhich inform field officers of new applications under the act of June
11, 1906. This form will be used, however, in subsequent correspondence,
should this office desire to know when a report may be expected in any par-
ticular case.

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

Letters for Field Headquarters at Ogden —

Supervisors are sending to this office a large number of letters which should
be sent directly to the field headquarters at Ogden, and many of these letters
have to be referred to Ogden for reply. This entails the loss of from six to ten
days in transit. Attention is called to " OE " circular letter of March 15 in
which the class of mail which should go to Ogden is specified. Please give this
matter particular attention in the future.

Free Use of Telephone Lines over National Forests—

The arrangement by which Forest officers have free use of telephone lines in
National Forests applies only to official communications by Forest officers to
other Forest officers or to private persons, and does not provide for the free use
of the lines by any private person, even upon official business. However, Forest
officers are authorized to pay for calls made by private persons to give notice
of a fire in the Forest.

22

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Bedistricting- of National Forests —

The general plan of redistricting the National Forests will be put into effect
July 1. The object of this plan is to equalize the size of administrative units
and to rearrange their boundaries in such a manner as best to promote an etii-
cient administration. In some cases several Forests or divisions of Forests
will be consolidated under a single name. In others, rearrangement of admin-
istrative boundaries will be made, rendering necessary the transfer of records
tdid of men from one supervisor to another. In cases where a transfer of
records or men is involved supervisors who have not already done so are urged
to submit, at the earliest possible date, statements requested in instructions
issued under date of May 2 and May 3(j. Prompt action is required, that the
plan may be put into effect July 1.

Under the new plan divides and streams will, in a number of cases, become
administrative boundaries, and, in such cases, will be shown on the diagrams
which are to accompany the Executive orders establishing the new Forests.
It should be clearly understood, however, that in all such cases the administra-
tive boundaries will as shown on the diagrams be merely presumptive and will
in reality follow- the actual divides or streams, regardless of whether their
locations are accurately shown on the diagrams or not. Blueprints and photo-
lithographs showing these boundaries will be furnished before July 1. Printed
copies of the Executive orders will not be available until after July 1.

Per diems to Forest Assistants to be Abolished —

. The practice of issuing per diems to Forest assistants will be abolished on
July 3. After that date Forest assistants will be placed upon exactly the same
basis with regard to reimbursement for traveling expenses as supervisors and
deputy supervisors.

Bangers' Expenses, Act of June 13, 1906 —

The attention of supervisors is called to the fact that it is the intention of the
Forest Service to reimburse rangers for necessary expenses incurred when
detailed to work outside their districts. This includes the examination of
lands under the act of June 13, 1906. Supervisors, when submitting accounts
of rangers, should state the nature of the work requiring them to leave their
districts.

Expenses for Janitor Services —

Whenever necessary, authorization to incur expense for janitor services will
be granted to supervisors, upon application to the Forester.

Discontinuance of Form 874-7 —

Form 874-7 has been discontinued, and, in its stead. Form 874-33 should be
rsed for notes on timber sales, mapping, and miscellaneous data. When used
for timber sales, each sheet should bear at the top the proper case designation.

Instructions for Filing1 in Supervisors' Offices —

In the newr edition of the Use Book, to be issued July 1, will be contained
complete instructions for filing in supervisors' offices. This will necessitate a
complete reorganization of the filing system in practically every case.

SERVICE ORDERS.

SEKVICE ORDER 17.

MAY 21, 1908.
Requisition for Supplies.

Beginning July 1, 1908, standard art rles of equipment and supplies will be
furnished from the Forest Service supply depot, Ogden, Utah, to National
Forest officers and to men at field stations in the West. Requisitions should be
sent directly to the supply depot, and revised Form 668 only will be used for
this purpose. All copies of the old form of this requisition in the possession
of members in the field should be destroyed.

Requisitions submitted by the above members of the Service will be filled
without question, by the property clerk. Each person making requisition will
be held responsible not only for the economical use of the articles requisitioned,
but also for the actual need of them in kind and quantity.

SERVICE NOTES FOR JULY.

These notes contain instructions and necessary information for
Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT.

Estimate Sheet —

Before forwarding Form 578b (January revision) to the Forester with the other
papers in advertised Class B or Class C sales, supervisors should be very careful to
have the space opposite "Total number feet B. M. per acre to be left" properly
filled out. This is one of the most important points in any sale, for it is very
difficult to determine whether or not a sale is advisable if it is not definitely known
how much timber will be left on the area as the basis of an early second cut.

Advance Payments —

( "ases in which purchasers of timber from the National Forests have not been
required to pay for the timber in advance of cutting, in accordance with the terms
of their contract, have in the past been too frequent. Supervisors should furnish to
Forest officers in charge of timber sales copies of card Form 615 showing the total
value of the timber scaled and the total payments made, and should instruct the offi-
cers to keep the record up to date by entering on this card the total of each report of
cutting sent to the supervisor and, in the column provided, the remittances made by
the purchaser. The supervisor should notify the Forest officer when each certificate
of deposit is received showing that the purchaser has made a remittance, and should
instruct the officer in charge that it is his duty to keep check on the purchaser and
see that he does not get in arrears in payments.

Scale Book and Form 820 —

The instructions contained in the Scale Book are not being followed as closely as
they should be, and the supervisor should insist that each officer in charge of timber
sales become familiar with them.

The spaces on Form 820 under the headings "Species," "Material," "Green or
dead," "Reported to," "Number of pieces," "Quantity," "@," "Value," and
"No. of last log scaled'" should always be filled in. A separate entry should be
used for each different class of material, and if the different classes exceed in number
the spaces on the form more space should be secured by cutting the heading from
another Form 820 and pasting the body to the bottom of the first. It is not neces-
sary to use separate entries for different species, or for green and dead timber, if the
stumpage value of the material cut is the same.

Many reports on Form 820 are received which evidently have not been checked by
the supervisor, who should, in every case, check such reports before forwarding
them to the Forester. A supervisor should never approve a report until he has care-
fully checked all entries, since by his approval he assumes responsibility for their
correctness.

Signature to Form 861 —

In Classes A and B sales the original and duplicate letters of transmittal, Form 861,
should be signed by the officer approving the sale — in Class A sales by the officer in
charge of the sale, and in Class B sales by the supervisor — in order that there may be
no doubt in the Washington office as to his identity. In Class B sales the supervisor-
should prepare the original Form 861 and return it "with the approved application to
the applicant, at the same time sending the duplicate to the Forester. In Class C
sales, also, Form 861 should be prepared and signed by the supervisor.

OFFICE OF EXTENSION.

Form 977—

Reports on Seed Crop of Forest Trees should be submitted promptly, in order that
the data may be available for preparation of plans for collection. The reports should
reach the forester before July 20.

BRANCH OF GRAZING,

Field Glasses —

An order has been placed with the manufacturers for 100 pairs of Jena auto-change
binocular field glasses and 100 Bausch & Lomb monocular field glasses, to be deliv-

FIG. 1. — The Jena auto-change binocular field glass, with carrying case.

ered about July 31. It is desired to distribute these field glasses among the Forest
officers and have them thoroughly tested in the field before any further purchases
are made. These glasses will be of the greatest use to rangers in
detecting the presence of live stock and determining the location
of fires. They will be distributed upon recommendation of the
supervisors, by an allotment which will be made on August 15,
and therefore separate requisitions for each glass should be made
to the Forester at once. The Forest officers to whom the field
glasses are allotted will be held responsible for their proper care
and will be expected to make a report not later than December
31, 1908. on the results obtained, in order that the Forester may
have the benefit of their experience in deciding upon future
purchases.

Figures 1 and 2 will assist the rangers in determining which
glass they prefer.

Crossing1 Permits —

A new blank, Form 874-17, uniform in size with the other
blanks carried in the Rangers' Note Book, has been adopted for
use in the issuance of crossing permits. A limited supply has
already been sent out, and such additional supply as is needed
for each Forest should be ordered at once.

In accordance with the new regulations, crossing permits will
be issued in triplicate, one copy delivered to the applicant, one
copy retained by the Forest officer issuing it, and one copy sent
to the supervisor. It will not be necessary to send a copy to
the Forester, because hereafter a report will be made by the supervisor at the end
of each fiscal year showing the number of crossing permits issued and the number
of stock which has been allowed to cross the Forest.

FIG. 2.— The Bausch
& Lomb monocular
field glass. A sewed
leather carrying case
with shoulder strap
is provided with this
glass also.

Transfer of Grazing- Fees —

The instructions published in the March Field Program in reference to the transfer
of grazing fees have been modified to provide for the transfer of money from the
credit of one permittee to that of another whenever the circumstances would other-
wise entitle the former to a refund. A written- order signed by the person who made
the original payment will be required in all cases.

Form 946, which is to be used in transmitting special-use permits to the permittees.
A supply of the new forms has been sent to each supervisor for use beginning July 1.
The revised Form 832 is a permit outright, not an agreement, and will not be signed
by the permittee, but only by the officer issuing the permit. All old Forms 832 and
all Forms 946a and 946b are obsolete and should be destroyed immediately. Par-
ticular attention is called to " Procedure in Special-use Permits," The Uee Book,
p. 56 (Edition of July 1, 1908).

Follow-up Cards for Special f/.s-f-s-. — The follow-up card system prescribed by the first
paragraph on page 198 of The Use Book, under the title "Follow-up System," will
of course be used by Forest officers, in special-use permits, to follow up requirements
of beginning and completing construction within the time limits fixed. This should
be done not only in new transactions when the permits are issued, but in all special-
use permits where such requirements exist. It is suggested that the follow-up
reminder cards be set for dates shortly in advance of the expiration of time limits
fixed in the permits.

Claims — Relmquishments —

Whenever a supervisor transmits to the Forester a relinquishment, or copy of a
relinquishment of a homestead or other entry, he should in every case send with it
a report giving a description of the land and an estimate of the amount of timber on
the claim relinquished.

Boundaries — Administrative Sites — Names for Sites —

Since Administrative Sites are filed by names, it is important that field officers re-
port the names of all sites which are at present known to this office by numbers only.

18

In doing so the utmost care should be exercised properly to identify each site by giv-
ing not only the number under which it was withdrawn, but also a description of the
tract withdrawn.

Boundaries —

On May 23 the President approved an act defining the boundaries of the Minnesota
National Forest. These boundaries include, as additions, ten sections around Cass
Lake, the islands in Cass Lake, and Pine and Sugar points, with the uncut merchant-
able timber on them. The total area of these additions is approximately 14,769 acres.
Provision is made for payment to the Indians of such amounts as may be found due
them for lands included in the Forest and for the timber left standing. The percent-
age of seed trees reserved is increased from 5 per cent to ]0 per cent. The Forest is
further consolidated as a result of the provision for the relinquishment to the Forest
Service of Indian allotments. The act further provides that the graves of the Indians
within the Forest are not to be disturbed, and permits further use of the lands for
this purpose.

A proclamation was signed by the President on June 18, to take effect at once,
eliminating 2,559 acres from the Gila (N) National -Forest, and adding 28,180 acres
to the Gila (S) National Forest. On the same date a proclamation was signed which
changed the name of the Gila (N) National Forest to the Datil National Forest, and
consolidated the Gila (S) and the Big Burros National Forests into the Gila National
Forest. The area of the Gila National Forest is now 1,589,841 acres and the area
of the Datil National Forest 1,270,500 acres.

Executive orders changing the boundaries and names of several National Forests
were signed June 18, to take effect July 1, 1908. The new names are: Fillmore,
Nebo, Columbia, Rainier, Chelan, Snoqualmie, Wenatchee, Washington. The Fill-
more National Forest will be composed of the present Beaver and Fillmore (S)
National Forests; the Nebo will contain the Fillmore (N), the Vernon, and the Pay-
son National Forests; the Chelan, Snoqualmie, Wenatchee, and Washington National
Forests will include the area formerly in the Washington, with the exception of the
small portion which went into the Rainier.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

Appropriation for Permanent Improvements —

The new appropriation for permanent improvement work can be used only in the
construction and maintenance of roads, cabins, etc. It is held that rangers and
guards may be paid from this appropriation, but only for such time as they are
engaged on improvement work. Supervisors who use ranger labor on improvement
work should indicate on Form 143 the dates when the rangers are so employed, and
should charge the amount on the new Form 99, in the improvement-fund column,
entering it in the journal of expenses against the authorization for improvements and
not against the salary allotment.

The total amount so charged should always be shown on the lower part of the new
Form 99, in order that the salary allotment of the Forest may be given proper credit
in the Office of Accounts.

By using ranger labor in .this way and making proper record of it on Forms 143
and 99 it will be possible for supervisors to retain on duty a large part of their force
that would otherwise have to be furlough ed during the winter months.

This method of handling the improvement appropriation will necessitate a change
in the manner of making entries in the new project ledger. Corrected instructions
for these entries have been prepared and will be sent to each supervisor as soon as
received from the printer. These should then be pasted in the project ledger over
the instructions alread_y there.

The appropriation act for improvement work is so worded that it will be impossi-
ble to pay for the cost of any boundary surveys from this appropriation. Super-
visors must therefore pay for such work, if approved, from the allotments covered by
their regular letters of authorization. Where such surveys are necessary the approval
of the Forester should be obtained before work is begun.

Members of the Service, in requesting films, should indicate the exact make of
camera for which they are desired. The Section of Photography is very often at a
loss to tell what size of films to send in filling requisitions, when this information is

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Apparatus to Conserve Amount of Snow —

In accordance with the following letter from Mr. Willis L. Moore, Chief United
States Weather Bureau, the Forester will be glad to receive suggestions from Forest
officers with regard to devising some form of apparatus which will automatically
conserve the amount of snow which falls and provide for its water equivalent.

MAY 18, 1908.

Hon. GlFFORD PlNCHOT,

Forester, Forest Service, Washington, D. C.

DEAR SIR: In viejv of the obvious difficulties of securing records of the snowfall
in the remote regions of the mountains, where direct observations can not be made
after each storm, it is very important to devise some form of apparatus which will
automatically conserve the amount of snow which has fallen and provide for its water
equivalent.

Many efforts have already been made by meteorologists to devise such an apparatus,
but it is felt that suggestions as to the best form to be adopted are still very desirable.

Will you call the attention of your officers in the field to this problem, especially
those who are familiar with the 'practical difficulties in the mountains, and request
them to furnish through y >u to the Weather Bureau such plans or methods of observa-
tions and record as seem to them to be of value.

The ordinary straight tube with a receiver is defective because the wind carries the
snow past the orifice without recording the same amount of snow that would fall
vertically in the calm air; all forms of obstructions, set up local currents which also
defeat the purpose. When snow is collected and remains for some weeks without
measurement, an uncertain amount is lost through evaporation. If sleety snow blows
upon an open mouth receptacle, it is soon clogged up, and may remain unserviceable
for a considerable time. These and other difficulties ought to be carefully considered
by those who make suggestions, but it is very desirable that the best form of apparatus
should be secured within the next few months.

Very respectfully, WILLIS L. MOORE,

Chief, U. S. Weather Bureau.

Follow-up System—

The follow-up system prescribed in Service Order 14 has been incorporated into
the new Use Book. Its effectiveness depends upon the promptness of supervisors
in returning the cards with promised date of action and their punctuality in getting
the reports to Washington by the time promised. When a card is not returned by
the supervisor within reasonable time, a second card stamped " Second notice, prom-
ise" will be sent out. After the promise is made, in case the report does not reach
the Forester by the time set, a duplicate of the card on file will be sent to the
supervisor, stamped "Second notice, report." In either case the same stamp, fol-
lowed by the date on which the second notice is sent out, will be placed upon the
slip or card on file in the office.

20

Forest Clerks —

Supervisors who employ male clerks should, during slack times in their offices,
have the clerks visit the ranger headquarters for the purpose of assisting the rangers
with their records and files. This is not intended to do away with the requirement
that the supervisors call in the rangers at convenient times for purposes of instruc-
tion in office methods.

Padlock Keys-
It has been found that the practice of issuing four keys with each Forest Service
padlock has caused an accumulation of keys in the supervisors' offices. This prac-
tice will be discontinued, and in the future only one key will be issued with each
padlock unless a greater number are called for in the requisition.

Administration Expenses —

The attention of supervisors is called to the following: Charges made for plowing,
hauling, sowing, purchase of seeds of all kinds for rangers headquarters, and all other
items of like character should be charged to "administration expenses" and not to
"headquarters."

Time of Forest Officers—

The time of Forest officers entering on duty does not begin until they report in
person to the supervisor or reach their headquarters or other places designated by the
supervisor. This also applies to furloughed rangers reentering on duty. Supervisors
should certify to accounts only in accordance with these instructions.

BRANCH OF PRODUCTS.

OFFICF OF WOOD UTILIZATION.

Field Organization —

The Office of Wood Utilization has established field headquarters from which
will be supervised utilization work which has a bearing upon the administration of
the National Forests. Timber-testing laboratories are now located at Seattle and
Berkeley, in cooperation with the universities of Washington and California. A
laboratory is being established at Boulder, in cooperation with the University of
Colorado. Although the men in charge are stationed at Seattle, Berkeley, and
Boulder, they will frequently be at inspection headquarters at Portland, San Fran-
cisco, and Denver, and will keep in close touch with inspectors and supervisors.

Three related lines of work will be handled: First, a study of market prices of
forest products; second, a study of wood-using industries; and third, tests to ascertain
the physical and mechanical properties of timber. The general purpose of these
studies is to further the policy of the Service in promoting the most economic and
effective utilization of forest products. Both the Forest Service and the lumber trade
are greatly in need of authoritative statements of the actual selling prices of the prin-
cipal kinds of lumber as distinguished from list prices and quotations which are now
published by associations and trade journals. Such prices will be secured for the
principal markets of the various Districts*

The wood-using industries will be studied for the purpose of ascertaining more
definitely the kinds and forms of timber which they require, in order that, in con-
junction with the timber tests, opportunity may be afforded for developing new and
more important uses for National Forest" woods. One of the first problems to be
taken up at the Boulder laboratory will be to determine the strength of sound dead
timber, which is found in large quantities in Colorado.

A careful study of market conditions in the Central- Western territory, where the
western woods come in competition with those of the South and the Lake States,
has also been instituted. Monthly reports of selling prices from leading wholesale
lumbermen in Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Memphis
are secured. These and similar reports from eastern markets and those adjacent to the
National Forests, will be compiled in the Washington office and copies forwarded
to all Forest officers. All Wood Utilization men and Forest officers are expected
to cooperate in this work to the fullest extent.

SERVICE NOTES FOR AUGUST.

These notes contain instructions and necessary information for
Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF EXTENSION,

Form 977 —

All supervisors who have not submitted the reports from their Forest officers on
seed crop of forest trees, due July 20, should do so at once, since it is very essential
that the data be available immediately for the preparation of plans for seed collecting.

The Use Book Amended —

Under Free-Use Business, page 192 of The Use Book, the first sentence should
read "Annual statement for fiscal year" and not "calendar year".

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Grazing- Trespass; Proposition of Settlement —

Rangers, unless instructed to do so by their respective supervisors, should not require
stock owners presumed to be grazing stock in trespass to submit propositions of settle-
ment. A ranger's report of a grazing trespass need not be accompanied by an offer
of settlement from the owner of the stock. In accordance with instructions con-
tained on page 120 of The Use Book, the supervisor, upon receipt of the ranger's
report, will consider the evidence submitted, and if, in his opinion, a trespass has
been committed, he will then request the owner of the stock to submit a proposition
of settlement.

BRANCH OF LANDS.

OFFICE OF LAAV.

Civil Actions Recommended —

Black Hills National Forest— M. R. & N. W. R. R. Co.; fire.
Sierra National Forest. — S. J. Harris; special use trespass (occupancy).

Pecos National Forest. — A. Rainey and Clarence Knott; fire trespass.

Trespass and Larceny; Lewis & Clark (S) National Forest —

On June 25 the Secretary of Agriculture recommended to the Department of Jus-
tice the prosecution of Fred Smith, James Brown, and Pete Jamison under the regu-
lation of the Secretary of Agriculture cited in paragraph (h), Regulation 64, page 120,
of The Use Book, for breaking a hasp upon a door of a building on an administra-
tive site. Provisions which were personal property of Supervisor Bunker were stolen,
but this did not constitute larceny from the United States. The Attorney General
was requested to ask the United States attorney at Helena to advise the supervisor
concerning prosecution for the larceny under State laws.

OFFICE OF OCCUPANCY.

Claims —

The Use Book Amended.— The Use Book is hereby amended by inserting the title
"Procedure on Contested Claims " immediately before the last paragraph on page 37.

The Use Book is hereby further amended by striking out the words "February
14, 1906" on page 292, and inserting in place thereof the words " September 30, 1907

(41)

42

(36 L. D., 112), as amended November 25, 1907 (36 L. D., 178)." This amendment
is in accordance with the General Land Office circular of June 23, 1908, to registers
and receivers and special agents.

Assignments of Geologists. — It is very important that all supervisors to whose For-
ests geologists are assigned shall notify the Forester as far in advance as possible as
to when the geologists will complete their work. This is absolutely necessary, for
the assignment of geologists to other Forests must be arranged in advance to avoid
loss of their time.

Boundaries; Administrative sites —

The attention of all Forest officers is called to the following circular letter from the
Acting Director of the Reclamation Service to the supervising and project engineers
regarding administrative sites on lands withdrawn under the reclamation act. When-
ever a supervisor knows from his records, or otherwise, that a tract desired for
administrative uses is covered by a reclamation withdrawal, he should at once com-
municate with the project engineer (or w?ith the supervising engineer if there is no
project engineer) in order to secure from him the necessary written statement,
which must accompany the report, on Form 271, to the Forester. The addresses of
the supervising and project engineers of the Reclamation Service will be found in the
"Reclamation Record," a copy of which will be sent to each supervisor on the
first of every month, beginning this month. In order to avoid delays when the
engineers are changed, they should be addressed by title and not by name, as,
for example, ' ' Supervising Engineer, Reclamation Service, Phoenix, Ariz. , " " Project
Engineer, Reclamation Service, Roosevelt, Ariz."

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
UNITED STATES RECLAMATION SERVICE,

Washington, D. C., July 9, 1908.
To Supervising and Project Engineers:

In connection with the establishment of additional ranger stations by the Forest
Service on tracts which have been withdrawn under the reclamation act, the follow-
ing procedure should be observed by the engineers of the Reclamation Service:

The supervisors of the National Forests have been instructed to confer with the
supervising or project engineers with regard to such occupation of lands covered
by reclamation withdrawal, whether for ranger stations, ranger pastures, or other
similar administrative purposes. Where the conditions are such that the occupancy
of the land by the Forest Service would be incompatible with its use by the Recla-
mation Service for the purposes for which it was withdrawn the Forest supervisor
should be so notified in writing — copy to this office.

In cases where it can be determine^ that the tracts involved will not be required
for reclamation purposes, and there is therefore no objection to their restoration,
recommendation to that effect should be made direct to this office, when arrange-
ments will be made to restore the lands and for their simultaneous withdrawal by
the Forest Service, if desired.

In cases where it is not considered advisable to restore the tracts to the public
domain, although the use of the land will not be required by the Reclamation Serv-
ice for several years, and there is no objection to their temporary occupation by the
Forest Service, action will be taken as follows, in order, if considered advisable, the
lands may be temporarily withdrawn for forest purposes: A written statement by
the supervising or project engineer should be furnished the Forest supervisor, with
copy to this office, that there is no objection to such occupation. It should also be
distinctly stated in the letter to the Forest supervisor that in case the Forest Service
desires to recommend a second withdrawal for forest purposes, such secondary with-
drawal shall contain the following stipulations: That it is subject to the reclamation
withdrawal for irrigation purposes; that the reclamation withdrawal is to remain the
dominant withdrawal ; that the secondary withdrawal for Forest purposes will be
promptly revoked upon due notice that the land is required for reclamation purposes;
and that such secondary withdrawal by the Forest Service is subject to the authority
of the Secretary of the Interior to change the withdrawal 'for irrigation works to a
withdrawal permitting the irrigation of the lands involved.

Such statement by the engineer will be sufficient basis for a secondary withdrawal
by the Forest Service without further reference to this office.

It is important, however, that this office be furnished with copies of all reports to
the Forest supervisors, and that recommendation be made direct to this office in all
cases where restorations are to be made of lands withdrawn for reclamation purposes.
Very truly yours,

C H. FITCH, Acting Director.

Boundaries —

Proclamations were signed by the President, to take effect July 1, making the fol-
lowing additions and eliminations: An addition of 137,073 acres to the Klamath Na-
tional Forest, California, on the west side; an addition of 413,384 acres to the Coconino
National Forest, Arizona, which affects both what were formerly known as the San
Francisco Mountains and Grand Canyon (S) National Forest; an addition of 117,664
acres to the Crook National Forest, Arizona, formerly the Mount Graham National
Forest; an addition of 10,550 acres to the Uinta National Forest, Utah; an elimina-
tion of 238,912 acres from that portion of the Coconino National Forest, Arizona,
which was formerly the Grand Canyon (S) National Forest; an elimination of 9,760
acres from the Crook National Forest, Arizona; an elimination of 72,622 acres from
the Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon, formerly the Tillamook and IJmpqua National
Forests; an elimination of 31, 176 acres from the Umpqua National Forest, Oregon; an
elimination of 160 acres from the Helena National Forest, Montana, in the vicinity of
the town of Helena; an elimination of 3,520 acres from the Deerlodge National For-
est, Montana, which was formerly the Helena National Forest; an elimination of
9,300 acres from the Kootenai National Forest, Montana, near the town of Libby; an
elimination of 53,775 acres from the Montezuma National Forest, Colorado.

The eliminations and additions to the Gila and the Datil National Forests, made
by the President's proclamation signed June 18. were incorrectly stated in the Field
Program for July. The proclamation added 39,000 acres to what is now the Datil
and eliminated 2,559 acres. It also added 29,460 acres to the Gila.

The Use Book Amen led—

The Use Book is hereby amended by inserting on page 57, line 8, the . words
"accompanied by a complete report on Form 964 " after the word " Forester." It is,
of course, necessary that the Forester's copies of supervisors' special-use permits be
accompanied by reports as hitherto, and the words inserted by this amendment were
omitted through error.

Special-Use Permits; Act of June 11, 1906 —

Supervisors should not record special-use cases as closed when they receive notice
that the land involved has been listed. The listing of the land with the Secretary
of the Interior as agricultural, with the recommendation that it be opened to entry,
does not change the legal status of the land nor affect any special-use permit cover-
ing it. When the land becomes open to entry^ however, any special-use permit
covering the land terminates. Therefore, as soon as the land involved becomes
open to entry, supervisors should immediately record special-use cases as closed and
notify the Forester.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS.

1908 Accounts —

The Service is required bylaw to submit a statement to -Congress showing total
payments from July 1, 1907, to September 30, 1908, of all liabilities incurred during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908. It is desired, therefore, that all outstanding
claims for the fiscal year 1908 be forwarded to Washington as soon as practicable, in
order that payment can be made before September 30.

Transportation Bequests —

All transportation requests not used during the year 1908, and stamped "Good
until June 30, 1908," should be returned to the Fiscal Agent, Washington, D. C.,
for cancellation.

Accounts of Temporary Special Disbursing- Ag-ents —

Temporary special disbursing agents, when forwarding their paid accounts, will
render only one Form 99 therewith, the total on which should equal the sum of the
totals on the vouchers transmitted. The project should be indicated on the face of
each voucher for improvement expenses, and the lower portion of the form should
show a summary by projects.

44

New Series of Numbers in Journal of Expenses —

Supervisors will adopt a new series of numbers in their Journal of Expenses, for
1909 accounts, beginning with No. 1.

Payment of Accounts by Check —

It is extremely desirable that temporary special disbursing agents pay accounts by
check rather than in cash. In cases of emergency, however, such as fire-fighting
expenses, cash may be used, but whenever a check is acceptable it is better policy to
pay in this manner.

Expenditures for Permanent Improvements —

The expenditure, by supervisors for permanent improvements, of money allotted
them for general expenses is not authorized and should be made only upon authority
from the Forester.

Form 221. Telephone Service —

This form is to be used in lieu of cash payments for telephone service with com-
panies that have made special contract rates for the Forest Service. All the blank
spaces must be filled as indicated before being signed.

Written messages to be transmitted by telephone and telegraph should be indorsed
"Office Business" and take Government telegraph rates. Copies of all such mes-
sages will accompany the account of the telephone or telegraph company when
submitted to this office for payment.

No charge for this service should be made in the Journal of Expenses against the
letter of authorization, since expenses of this character are paid from a contingent
fund set aside for this purpose.

OFFICE OF

Requisitions for Supplies —

Supervisors continue to send requisitions for supplies to the Washington office.
The Section of Supplies in Washington is no longer equipped to fill these requisi-
tions, and it is necessary to forward them to the supply depot at Ogden, Utah. As
indicated in the Field Program for June, supervisors will make requisitions for sup-
plies directly to the Ogden depot.

Numbering of Vouchers Affecting Forest Accountability —

Forest officers in charge have not been following the instructions contained in
Service Order 15, " Property accounting on the National Forests." This order re-
quires that the inventory taken on June 1, 1908, should be numbered " 1," and that
.every subsequent transaction affecting Forest Accountability, whether on Form 128 D,
939, 858, or 217, should be given a number following serially the No. 1 on the inven-
tory. A great many of these vouchers have been received with no number given,
and it has been necessary in every case to return them to the sender for the neces-
sary information. It also often happens that when Form 939 accompanies Form A
or Form 4 it bears the number of the account to which it is attached, instead of
being given the next serial number.

Supervisors should read over Service Order 15, with a view to obtaining a thorough
understanding of the working idea involved.

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

Standard Plans and Bills of Material —

The Standard Plans for Rangers' Cabins and Bills of Material have been sent out
to all supervisors. The set bound in heavy board covers is to be retained in the
supervisor's office, and the sets bound in manila are for use in the field, if desired.
Supervisors who have not received these plans or who require additional sets should
make requisition for them to the Property Clerk, Ogden, Utah.

45

Revised Form 283 —

Attention is called to "OE" circular letter of July 3. A report on the revised
Form 283 should be submitted on each project which has been authorized, as soon
as possible after the close of each month. When a supply of the revised form is
received from the printer, a sufficient number will be sent to each supervisor with-
out requisition.

Correspondence for Ogden —

Attention is again called to "OE" circular letter of March 5. A number of letters
are being received in the Washington office which should be sent to Ogden. All
letters for the Ogden office should be sent directly to that point, and duplicates should
not be sent to the Forester. The original and duplicate copies of all estimates should
also be sent to Ogden. It is not necessary to send carbons of letters to the Forester
to the Ogden office. Please give this matter careful attention.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Excessive Number of Appointments —

Supervisors requesting the appointment of men in excess of the number given in
the allotment letter of June 20 must state either that the salaries of such men will
be charged wholly to authorized improvement projects or that part of the allotted
force will be furlonghed or separated later to offset the amount to be paid such
appointees. It is not absolutely necessary to keep the personnel exactly as given in
the allotment letter with respect to number and grade, but the salary allotment for
the year must in no case be exceeded.

Care should be taken in the use of Form 143 to show what part of the salary of
each employee is properly chargeable to administration salaries and what part is
payable from the improvement fund, and the charges on Form 99 should be dis-
tributed to correspond with Form 143.

Proclamation Diagrams —

Proclamation diagrams of a number of the National Forests in accordance with the
plan of redistricting have already been sent the supervisors concerned. Diagrams
for the other Forests will be sent as soon as they can be printed. In many cases
natural topographic features, as divides or rivers, have been adopted as boundary
lines. It should be clearly understood that the actual location of the divide or river
will govern, and not the location as shown on the diagram. When divides or streams
are improperly located on these diagrams supervisors are requested to report the fact
to the Forester as soon as possible. In every case the supervisor should submit a
diagram showing the line as it should be corrected.

Construction and Improvement of Trails —

By the instructions on the new Form 99 and in circular letter OO of June 19 it was
not intended to imply that Forest officers should not construct and improve trails in
cases where no allotments of money have been made for that purpose from the
Improvement Fund. The construction and maintenance of trails is an importan-
part of the regular work of a Forest officer, and should be carried on wherever post
sible, by the regular force, regardless of whether or not money from the Improvement
Fund has been set aside for that purpose.

SERVICE NOTES FOR OCTOBER.

These notes contain instructions and necessary information for
Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on tile
for reference.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

OFFICE OF FOREST MA1STAGEMEXT.

Advance Cutting1 in Advertised Class B Sales —

lTnder Regulation 41 of The Use Book supervisor** may allow advance cutting in
advertised Class B sales. Applicants should be required to execute in duplicate the
form given on page 27 of the Field Program for August, 1907. Actual cutting should
not be allowed to begin until the Forest officers know that the required deposit has
been made. The privilege should never be granted when it wTill tend to discourage
competitive bids, or when it is not necessary to prevent hardship to local industries.
Additional instructions for handling advance cutting will be found on page 89 of The
I'se Book.

Special Uses, Sawmills —

Supervisors are instructed on page 57 of The Use Book to inform the Forester by
letter when they reject special-use applications. Please note, however, that the
Forester need not be informed when sawmill special-use applications are rejected.
The circular of September 25, 1907, on the procedure in "Special Uses, Sawmills"
is still in force.

Keplies to Circular Letters "SM," March 14 and April 9—

In order that the sales policy for each Forest may be in final shape by July 1,
1909, it is necessary that most of the replies to circular letters "SM" of March 14
and April 9 be submitted before February 1. On some Forests, however, the pres-
sure of current business has been so great during the summer that little progress
could be made. In these cases, if weather conditions in the winter will permit the
necessary field work, the time for reply will, on receipt of the supervisor's request,
be extended until May 1. This extension will be made only in cases where the
additional time will permit particular attention to be given to the work and decidedly
better results to be obtained.

Closing Timber Sales —

The attention of supervisors is called to the instructions contained in "SM" circular
of June 30, in regard to closing timber sales in which a refund is necessary. Please
be sure to send, with the refund voucher properly filled out and executed, the final
cutting report closing the case.

Closing Timber Trespass Cases —

Supervisors, either personally or through their rangers, should make a special
effort to close as many timber-trespass cases as possible before winter conies on and
the gnow makes brush piling difficult and unsatisfactory. Privileges to trespassers
should be denied until they have shown cause why they have not made settlement
and cleaned up their trespass areas.

OFFICE OF EXTENSION.

Seed Collecting- —

It is desired to collect a very large quantity of seed on the National Forests this
fall for broadcast seeding experiments. The supervisors of Forests on which the
seed crop is abundant have been notified by letter of the quantity they are expected
to collect on their Forests. It is often the case that on Forests where the seed crop
on the whole is scarce there are localities where 25 to 50 pounds of seed can easily
be collected. Therefore, supervisors who have not already been requested to secure
seed should instruct their rangers to pay special attention to local seed crops within
their districts and obtain whatever quantity of seed is possible in connection with their
other work. Seed of the following species is most desired: Yellow pine; Douglas fir;
lodgepole pine; Engelmann spruce; western white pine; sugar pine; Coulter pine;
Jeffrey pine.

Replies to Circular Letter "SE" of June 30—

Only 60 per cent of the replies, due September 1, to this circular letter have been
received. It is essential that the information requested be sent in at once, in
order that the necessary arrangements may be made to obtain the stock required for
distribution.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Annual Grazing- Reports —

The reorganization of the Forest Service, which is to take effect January 1, renders
it necessary to have all supervisors' annual grazing reports submitted in duplicate.
Every supervisor will, therefore, furnish the district forester with two copies of his
annual grazing report, the original to be transmitted to the Forester, and the dupli-
cate to be retained in the files of the district forester's office. This matter is a very
important one, and must not under any circumstances be ignored.

Error in Charges for Hay Cutting —

The Circular of Instructions on Special Uses of August 31, on page 2, established
a minimum rate of 25 cents per acre for hay sales. This is an error; the correct
figure is 20 cents per acre. (See Use Book, Reg. 72, also Service Order 20, in the Field
Program for September.)

Fleetwood Sothcott convicted of special use tresspass (saloon) on the Deerlodge

C. H. Mullin convicted in United States district court at Boise, Idaho, of fire tres-
pass on the Weiser National Forest.

OFFICE OF OCCUPANCY.

Administrative Sites, Occupied Lands —

All Forest officers are requested to give particular attention to the last paragraph
on page 52 of The Use Book. It is extremely important that no injustice be worked
upon occupants of National Forest lands through the taking of the land for adminis-
trative uses, and that an amicable agreement be reached with such occupants when
the administrative use of the lands is absolutely necessary.

Names of Administrative Sites —

All administrative sites should be given appropriate local names. When new
names are given sites which were inappropriately named, the Forester must be noti-
fied by letter referring to the old name under which the site was withdrawn. New
names must not be used in correspondence before such notice is given.

Special Uses, Advertising Signs —

The placing and maintaining of advertising signs on unclaimed National Forest
lands and upon un patented claims and county roads in National Forests are, of course,
subject to Regulation 6. In the case of signs within rights of way for county roads,
the same principles apply as in the case of telephone lines along county roads (The
Use Book, pp. 64 and 65). No special-use permits should be issued for large or con-
spicuous signs, and when such signs are not removed upon request of the Forest
officers trespass reports should be made on Form 856. There is no objection to
small advertising signs which serve as guideposts where guideposts are necessary.
No charge will be made for the permits, since they will be issued only for small signs
which will be of benefit to the public.

Claims —

When supervisors believe that a number of claims of any kind or several kinds
are the result of a collusive effort to obtain title fraudulently, it is requested that the
reports to the Forester on all such claims be made as near the same time as practi-
cable. The report upon each of such claims, whether they are reported upon at the
same time or noi, should be accompanied by a letter referring to the other claims
involved and giving the dates when the other reports were made or the approximate
dates when they will be made.

. 88

Claims of this character considered separately seldom show any evidence of fraud
or collusion, but viewed in relation to several others of the same kind the fraud or
collusion is often apparent. Therefore, it is necessary that the several claims be
considered collectively by the Forester before he makes recommendation to the
Land Office upon any of them.

New Form 348 Supersedes Form 965 —

Form 965, for indexing Forest homestead applications, is obsolete, and supervisors
should use instead the new Form 348.

Reports on Form 110 —

In future all reports on Form 110 should be made in duplicate and both copies
should be transmitted to the chief inspector for approval. Any changes made upon
the original forwarded to the Forester should be noted also upon the duplicate,
which should be returned to the supervisor for filing.

OFFICE: OF GEOGRAPHY.

Maps —

The fourth edition of the wall map has been issued, and a limited number will be
for sale to private parties and will -be sent postpaid on receipt of 25 cents for each
copy.

The fifth edition of the wall map shows, in addition to the data on the fourth edi-
tion, the Indian reservations and the six western districts. These maps are only for
the use of Forest officers and Forest schools.

The General Land Office township plats which have not been previously litho-
graphed or photographed are now being photographed for the use of supervisors. It
is expected that this work will require three or four months.

It is intended to complete the alienation of all of the National Forests by Decem-
ber 31, and the Forest Atlas Folios will be completed by June 30, 1909. This will
furnish a set of base maps, upon which all additions and corrections may be made,
in accordance with the legend of the Forest Atlas.

Exposure of Films and Plates —

The negatives which are being made by Service members are, with few exceptions,
not up to the standard. In order to improve them it will be necessary that every
one using a camera pay careful attention to the "record slip " which is returned to
him. showing the result of each individual exposure. Exposures are considered
under three heads, viz: "Good," "Medium," and "Failures."

Slips stamped "Good" show exposures which are perfect or nearly so.

Slips stamped "Medium" show the exposures which wrill be printed and used,
but can be improved upon by remedying one or more of the following faults: " Out
of focus," " over exposure," "underexposure," " poor light," etc.

Slips stamped "Failure" show exposures which will not be printed or used,
owing to one or more of the following faults: " Deterioration," " double exposure,"
"blank," " light struck," etc.

The photographer will give other information, when necessary, which, if carefully
followed, will be the means of perfecting the photographic collection.

Status of Lands Within National Forests —

A number of requests for the complete status of lands within the National Forests
are being received by the Office of Geography. In order to anticipate requests along
this line, Forest officers are informed that in the course of the present fiscal year it
is contemplated to issue Atlas folios for all of the National Forests which have not
already been covered, and that these folios will include the status of lands within the
Forests. The order in which they will be issued has been determined to an extent,
but depends upon various conditions, and the status will be compiled in the same
order. Status of lands for small areas or in special cases can, however, be supplied
on request.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.
OFFICE OF MAINTENANCE.

A "Pair" of Buffalo Grips-
There seems to be a difference of opinion among Forest officers as to what consti-
tutes a pair of Buffalo grips. The word "pair" as applied to a Buffalo grip is used in
the same sense as when applied to scissors Or pliers and means one instrument.

Steel "F. S." Dies—

The property clerk at Ogden, Utah, now has a supply of steel " F. S." dies (sepa-
rate dies for marking curved surfaces), which can be secured on requisition. .

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.

Form 99 to Show Projects on which Improvement Fund is Expended —

All supervisors are requested to read carefully the fourth note on page 66 of the
Field Program for September and to prepare" Form 99 in accordance with the
instructions contained therein.

Project Ledger —

Attention is called to the last paragraph of the general instructions for the Project
Ledger. The statement showing the work accomplished and its cost in detail should
be forwarded in duplicate to the Office of Engineering at Ogden.

Swinging1 Tree Insulators—

On several of the Forests swinging tree insulators have been incorrectly used. The
line wire should pass through the large hole in the center of the insulator, and one
end of the tie wire should be fastened around the groove.

Purchase of Stoves as Separate Project —

Purchases of stoves for use in houses on ranger stations are considered as separate
projects. When a purchase has not been authorized, an increase in authorization or
transfer should be requested, to cover the cost.

Estimates for Projects on Ranger Stations —

In preparing estimates for projects on ranger stations, it will facilitate their approval
if the supervisors will state whether or not the stations have been withdrawn.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Circular Letter "OO" of August 19—

A typographical error occurred in Circular Letter " OO" of August 19. Keference
was made to Circular Letter of July 7; this should have read July 1. In connection
with the circular of August 19, the attention of supervisors is called to the fact that
only the stamp for travel is to be placed on the Form 99. All other stamps relating
to accounts should be placed on the face of the voucher.

90

Rental Payable by Portion of Crop —

It appears from recent reports received from several National Forests that leases
providing that the rental may be paid by a portion of the crop have been issued for
agricultural lands other than lands withdrawn for administrative purposes. When
the advisability of this form of lease was considered it was decided to restrict its
application to land that had been withdrawn for administrative sites. If any super-
visors have made agreements for the rental of lands other than on administrative
sites for a portion of the crop, they are requested to report such cases to the Forester
and to arrange with the permittees for cash payment. The attention of supervisors
is also called to the fact that it has been decided not to allow the exchange of any
portion of the crop raised on an administrative site for any other commodity.

SERVICE ORDERS.

SERVICE ORDER 22.

SEPTEMBER 25, 1908.
Observance of State Laws by Forest Officers.

It has recently been brought to the attention of this Service that Forest officers
themselves have in rare instances failed to observe the State game laws. Strict
observance, both by act and example, of all State laws, whether for the protection
of game or for other purposes, is one of the first duties of every Forest officer,
ruder no circumstances should one Forest officer shield or condone the act of
another who violates the game laws. To do so differs little from actual violation of
the law itself. This Service will not tolerate violation of the State game laws by
any of its members, or failure to cooperate fully with State game officials.

SERVICE NOTES FOR NOVEMBER.

These notes contain Instructions and necessary [ information for
Forest officers, and will, therefore, ['be carefully read and kept on file
for reference. '

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

F FOREST MANAGEMENT.

Book of Tree Measurements —

Attention is called to an error on the sample page of the " Book of Tree Measure-
ments," Form 334. The "Used length" and "Merchantable length" should not
include stump height. Therefore, the figures given for these measurements at the
top of the sample page should be 108 and 132, respectively, instead of 111 and 135.
The Forest Description should give, in addition to the subjects specified, the damage
caused by fire, wind, lightning, insects, fungi, snow, etc. These corrections should
be made in all the books that have been sent out from this office.

New Form of Bond, Form 377—

A new bond, Form 377 (3 sheets) , superseding Forms 226a, 226b, and 288, has been
prepared, and a supply is now in stock at the Supply Depot, Ogden, Utah. Super-
visors should make requisition for the new form at once and destroy all old forms
that are now on hand.

Closing Stamps —

In accordance with "S-M " letter of June 30, all supervisors should provide them-
selves with a closing stamp to be used on final cutting reports in timber sales, timber
settlement, free use and administrative use cases. This detail is being commonly
overlooked.

Refunds —

To avoid delay in making refunds, refund vouchers, properly prepared, should
accompany all final cutting reports in which refund is recommended. In recom-
mending refunds to purchasers who have never operated on their sales or who have
suspended operations before completion, the supervisor, before making the recom-
mendation, should give careful consideration to the advisability of deducting the
estimated cost of advertising, mapping, estimating, and marking from the amount
which the purchaser has on deposit v\ith the Fiscal Agent. It is thought that a
deduction in such cases will tend to discourage speculation and unnecessary delay on
the part of purchasers.

Scale Reports —

Owing to the large number of faulty scale reports which are still being received,
it seems necessary again to call the attention of supervisors to the necessity of check-
ing over scale reports with great care before approving them. Duplicate letters of
transmittal in Class A and unadvertised Class B sales must contain all the informa-
tion called for on page 79 of "The Use Book," and must be initialed by the super-
visor in the lower left-hand corner unless signed by him. Since no further informa-
tion is received regarding these classes of sales until the final cutting report is made,
the duplicate Form 861 must be returned for correction whenever full information IB
not furnished. This causes considerable unnecessary work in this office, which could
easily he obviated by more care on the part of supervisors.

District Libraries —

With the reorganization of the Service, branch libraries^will be established at each
of the district headquarters, the basis of which will be the present inspectors'
libraries. Such books and publications will be added to these as will be needed for
work in the different districts. Suggestions as to books which should be included
in these libraries are welcome and should be forwarded at once to the Forester.

Photographic Collection—

The reclassification of the photographic collection by States and subjects, instead
of by watersheds, and the elimination of undesirable prints are now well under way.
This work will add greatly to the value of the collection by reducing its size, by
removing poor prints, and by facilitating reference to it.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Change in the Instructions under Regulation 55 —

The instructions contained in the last four lines on page 129 and the first two
lines on page 130 of the administrative edition of The Use Book for 1908 have been
annulled, and the following instructions substituted :

Grazing permits for the summer season may be extended to cover the entire
year wherever there is winter range available within the National Forest, upon
payment of the difference between the summer and year-long rates on stock
covered by the original permit in addition to the winter grazing fee on all ani-
mals which have reached the age of six months during the summer period.

Change in Requirements of Pasture Permits —

On account of the many requests which have been received, a modification has
been made in the instructions under Regulation 70, and hereafter the stipulation,
"To allow the use of the inclosure at all times by the Forest officers for administra-
tive purposes and for pasturing their saddle horses," will be omitted, except when
the supervisor believes it necessary for the proper administration of the Forest, in
which case the probable amount of use by Forest officers may be given considera-
tion in fixing the fee to be charged.

Separate Reports for Drift Fences —

Under the new plan of organization which will be put into effect on December 1,
all reports and recommendations for the construction of drift fences or the improve-
ment of springs will be handled by the Office of Engineering. It is, therefore,
requested that in the preparation of annual grazing reports, the supervisors make an
entirely separate chapter of this subject so that each portion of the report may be
filed in its proper place.

Permits for Trap Corrals —

All permits issued for the construction or maintenance of corrals with trap gates
which are to be used in trapping wild cattle or horses should contain the following
stipulation :!_

This corral shall, when in use, be visited everyday by permittee, and all stock
not owned or controlled by permittee shall be turned out upon the range.

OFFICE OF LAW.

Civil and Criminal Actions Recommended —
Coronado National Forest — Philip Contzen, occupancy trespass.

Criminal Action Begun —

Chiricahua National Forest — C. T. McGlone, former Forest Supervisor, bound over
to the grand jury on a charge of embezzlement.

Cabinet National Forest— C. R. Weare, W. C. Finnigan, and Z. Caza, special use
trespass (saloon). Caza fined $50; all three men agree to discontinue maintenance
of saloon upon the National Forest.

Resolution by International Tax Conference—

A resolution was adopted by the International Tax Conference at Toronto, Octo-
ber 9, 1908, as follows:

Resolved, That it is within the legitimate province of tax laws to encourage the
growth of timber, to protect watersheds, and to insure a future timber supply.

And legislation, or constitutional amendment if necessary, is recommended
for these purposes.

Waters and Water Courses—

The following section is an amendment to the mimeographed circular of June 12,
1908, sent to Forest officers:

14. In all cases where actual diversion and use of the water can not be imme-
diately made, or made within a reasonable time after the administrative site is,
withdrawn, the supervisor should, for the purpose of giving notice to the public,
comply with the requirements of state laws with reference to the recording of
notice of appropriation of wrater. Reimbursement will be made for the expense
of such recording.

Application for Injunction Denied —

A decision was recently made in the United States court for the district of Nevada
against the Eureka Live Stock Company, denying its application for an order tem-
porarily restraining the Forest Service from administering the Toiyabe National

Forest.

OFFICE OF OCCUPANCY.

Settlement: Reports on Forest Homestead Applications —

Numerous reports upon Forest Homestead Applications, Form 110, have been
received recommending action upon tracts of land the descriptions of which do not
agree with the descriptions contained in the applications. This may be due to an
error on the part of the examiner, or the inability of the applicant properly to
describe the land desired. In cases of this kind it is very important that the report
should explain the discrepancy.

Report on Claims —

When a supervisor receives notice from a local land office that commutation proof
is to be made on homestead entries, the report to the Forester should contain a

since ordinarily the information is not procurable from the General Land Office until,
after final papers are issued and are received at that office.

After the reorganization goes into effect the correctness of action on Claims reports
will be almost entirely dependent upon the descriptions given by the examining offi-
cer. Especial care should therefore be taken to secure a correct description of the
tract embraced in each claim. This will avoid any delay which might occur should
the claim be incorrectly described and the Land Department be unable to identify
it by the description given.

Canvas Ore Sacks—

A supply of canvas ore sacks has been placed in stock at the Supply Depot at Ogden,
for the use of expert miners, and can be procured upon requisition directly to the
Depot,

OFFICE OF ENGINEERING.
"OEO" Letters—

The attention of supervisors is called to the fact that replies to "OEO" letters
should be sent to Ogden, and not to Washington.

<'OE" Circular Letter of October 13 —

All supervisors are urged to send in promptly the information requested in "OE"
circular letter of October 13, in order that it may be tabulated before the district
organization goes into effect.

OFFICE OF ORGANIZATION.

Use of Distinctive Blaze in Trail Work —

From reports of inspectors it is evident that the instructions on page 175 of The
Use Book relative to the use of a distinctive blaze in trail work are not being observed.
It is important that a uniform method of blazing roads and trails constructed by
Forest officers be employed, and all field officers of the Service are directed to observe
more closely in the future the instructions referred to.

Accounts for Horseshoeing —

A number of accounts for horseshoeing have been submitted recently by supervisors
and other Forest officers who are required to own their own horses. Shoeing is con-
sidered as pertaining to horse equipment, and accounts of this nature should never be
submitted by Forest officers for their own horses, unless it is shown that the horses
were used by the Forest Service for other purposes than the personal use by the
owner and without a per diem consideration.

When horses are hired for short periods, it is expected that the owners will pay for
keeping them shod, and accounts for shoeing them should not be submitted unless it
is shown that they were hired with the understanding that the Forest Service would
pay for the work, or that an emergency occurred which rendered the shoeing neces-
sary and that the owner would not stand the expense.

SERVICE ORDERS.

SERVICE ORDER 23.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1908.
Relinquisliment of Claims.

In receiving relinquish ments Forest officers should carefully avoid making a per-
emptory demand or using any words which could be construed as a threat of pro-
ceedings in the courts. The administration of the laws affecting the relinquishment
of lands in National Forests remains with the Department of the Interior (Use Book,
p. 218). The Forest officer is only a medium of transmittal.

If it is deemed advisable to suggest a relinquishment of a claim believed by the
officer to be invalid, it should, if practicable, be done by a letter mailed or handed
to the claimant in substantially the following form:

National Forest.

— , 190 .
Mr.

DEAK SIR:

I have made a careful examination of the following land embraced

within your — — claim, and have thoroughly investigated the facts and circum-
stances upon which your claim appears to be based. The results of my examina-
tion and investigation are embodied in a report prepared for submission to the
Forester which will, I believe, lead to a hearing before the Land Office to deter-
mine the validity or invalidity of your claim.

If you believe that yonr claim is for any reason invalid and desire to save
yourself and the Government the trouble and expense of such a hearing, I shall
be glad to receive from you a voluntary relinquishment (duplicate blank forms
inclosed), and to forward the same for filing, to the Register and Receiver of

the United States Land Office at . If it is received on or before a

copy will be sent to the Forester together with my report and a hearing will be
unnecessary.

If the suggestion is made orally it should be to the same effect in substance.
A copy of the relinquishment should be forwarded to the Forester for his files
with notation of the date of transmittal of the original to the local Land Office.

BRANCH OF OPERATION.

Approval of Reports by Supervisors' Clerks —

In a number of cases in the past important reports have reached this office approved
by supervisors' clerks as acting supervisors. Since these reports are sometimes used
at hearings, it is important that the approving officer should be entirely competent
to pass on the correctness of the report. If a clerk in the supervisor's office is, in
addition to his special fitness for clerical work, qualified properly to pass on impor-
tant papers and reports, there is no objection to this; but since the recommendation
of the supervisor or acting supervisor is in most cases followed out, great care must
be exercised in the field that approval is not given in any case without careful con-
sideration by an officer fully qualified to judge of its merits. The prompt transaction
of business is desired, but should a supervisor be away from his office and not be
able to bring in a deputy or a ranger to act for him, important papers should be held
until his return unless his clerk has sufficient field experience to be fully qualified to
approve them.

Rangers' Special Use Reports —

A new form, No. 399, has been prepared for the use of field officers in reporting
to supervisors on special-use permits. The Supply Depot at Ogden will furnish a
supply of this form to each supervisor. It is suggested that where the abuse of uses
such as pastures, drift fences, and dipping vats would result in injury to the National
Forests reports on Form 399 be required at least quarterly. Probably on other uses
semiannual reports will be sufficient.

Reservoirs and Conduits —

The following letter has been received from the Reclamation Service. Until the
supervisors receive the maps mentioned in the letter the should continue to refer
each application f or a reservoi r or conduit permit to the Reclamation engineer under
the instructions on page 65 of The Use Book.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
UNITED STATES RECLAMATION SERVICE,

Washington, D. (\, November IS, 190S.
The FORESTER? Forest Service.

SIR: The attention of this office has been called by the supervising engineer in
charge of reclamation operations in Washington, Oregon, and upper California to
requests by forest supervisors for maps indicating the watersheds in these regions
which are not involved in operations contemplated by the Reclamation Service, in
order that the work of the Forest Service may be simplified with regard to the issu-
ance of special-use permits.

In this connection I desire to state that although the supervising engineer regards
this as a feasible plan and is anxious to comply with such request at the earliest
opportunity, it is apprehended that there may be some delay in the preparation of
such map.

Under instructions of the Secretary, investigations are being made of available
water power with a view to recommending withdrawal of the power sites involved.
Until these investigations are completed it wiy be impracticable to designate any
watershed which will be exempt from examination by the Reclamation engineers.

It is therefore requested that the present plan of referring applications for special-
use pe/mits to the project engineers may be continued until such time as it may be
possible to prepare a map showing more definitely the area to which reclamation
operations are confined.
Very respectfully,

MORRIS BIEN, Acting Director.

Settlement: Surveys —

The following corrections should be made on page 21 of Instructions and Decisions
Affecting National Forest Lands, Part II: At the end of the sixth line, F. S. M. H.

instead of ^JW ; in the seventh line, R instead of~fl«

W A W

Administrative rights of way —

It is very important that all examiners of tracts applied for under the act of June
11, 1906, follow the instruction in the first paragraph on page 53 of The Use Book.
In many instances the examiners fail to submit the required recommendations for
withdrawals, on Forms 271 and 220, and it is feared that some examiners are failing
even to suggest withdrawals for logging roads and other administrative purposes in
many cases where they should be made.

The following method of surveying roadways through land applied for under the
act of June 11, 1908, is recommended to supervisors:

The initial point should be tied to some established corner in reference to the
claim, or a course run and distance chained from some established point of the claim
boundary to an established point on the road. In running out the road survey
course and distance from one turning point to another should be given, and at each
angle turned a durable monument should be placed, marked, and witnessed. A
plain R is sufficient. Witnesses should be far enough away from the center line to
be outside the roadway. It is not necessary to close in the roadway, placing two
monuments at each angle. The single survey line well tied and rnonumented is all
that is necessary. It is important, however, to give in the notes the proposed width
each side of this line; and natural features crossed might also be noted. It should
be remembered that a monument of durable wood buried flush with the surface will
withstand the wear of road traffic indefinitely.

Residence under Forest Homestead Act of June 11, 1906—

The First Assistant Secretary of the Interior, in a letter to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, dated November 4, 1908, has ruled that, under section 1 of the forest home-
stead act of June 11, 1906, a person who is permitted to occupy National Forest lands
for agricultural purposes by special-use permit, and who afterwards makes entry of
the land under the act, is entitled to make final proof when he can show five years'
actual residence, even though a portion of the residence was during the time when he
was occupying the lands under the special-use permit.

131

Reports on Claims —

Beginning December 1, supervisors should submit all adverse reports on claims in
duplicate. Copies of these reports are forwarded to the General Land' Office, and in
the absence of a carbon copy the report must be copied in the District Foresters'
offices. Compliance with this request will save much work in the District Foresters'
offices, with very little additional work on the part of the Forest officers.

Reports on Coal Claims —

Reports on coal claims should contain a statement as to whether the" claim was
made solely for the benefit of the claimant or claimants, and not directly or indi-
rectly, in whole or in part, in behalf of any other person or persons, company, or
corporation. The character of the investigation or inquiry made to determine the
point should also appear, whether the result supports the claimant's statement or is
contrary to it. Instances have occurred where coal claimants were shown to be mere
"duminies" in the employ of coal operators and without substantial interest in the
lands claimed. In such cases the claim is invalid.

Filing- of Bangers' Property Receipts —

Supervisors will find the following a convenient method of filing rangers' property
receipts: Arrange these receipts in numerical order with the last number on top,
place them in a loose-leaf notebook, and file the notebook vertically in section 4 of
the filing case behind a guide card marked "Hangers' Property Receipts."

Back-Order Notices and Memorandums of Shipment-
It is not required that supervisors retain copies of back-order notices after the sup-
plies have been received. This notice is then merely a record that shipment was
delayed, and reference to it is never made. It is also unnecessary to retain Form 945,
"Memorandum of Shipment," after the receipt of the supplies.

Acknowledgments of Bequisitions —

Postal card acknowledgments of requisitions, Form 642, need not be retained in
supervisors' files unless they bear some special notation, but may be destroyed after
the property clerk's requisition number has been entered in the upper right-hand
corner of the supervisor's copy of the requisition.

BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.

Deposits with Bird—

Applicants submitting bids in advertised timber sales are required to have on
deposit at the time the bid is submitted only a sum equal to the amount specified
in the notice of sale. Money deposited to cover advertisement and advance cutting
will be credited toward the amount to accompany the bid.

Forester's Free-Use Permits —

In all free-use permits which are approved by the Forester the timber should be
scaled and cutting reports submitted as in timber sales. The timber cut under such
free-use permits should not be included in the supervisor's annual free-use report,
but will be included by the Forester in the monthly reports of timber cut on the
Forest. Forester's free-use permits should be closed in the same manner as timber
sales.

132

New Form of Sawmill Permit, Form 400—

A new form of sawmill permit, Form 400, has been prepared and supersedes all
the old forms. This form should be used in all sawmill cases, together with the bond,
Form 377, when a bond is required. These forms may be obtained on requisition
from the Supply Depot, Ogden, Utah.

Refunds—

In final cutting reports recommending closure without refund, where the amount
deposited exceeds the value of timber cut, it should be stated definitely why such
action is advisable, unless the amount is inconsiderable or the reason is self-evident.

BRANCH OF GRAZING.

Pasture Permits in Exchange for Use of Private Lands —

Persons desiring to inclose National Forest lands, together with their private lands,
for pasture purposes, in lieu of the exclusive us-e of other lands owned or leased by
them and located within the external limits of the National Forest, may be allowed
such an exchange for not to exceed 320 acres of National Forest lands, when the
exchange will be distinctly advantageous for the Forest Service.

Applications for such an exchange should be handled under the general instruc-
tions governing pastures (Regulation 69), each case being considered strictly on its
merits, and if the exchange will not be advantageous for the Forest Service, or not
advisable for other reasons, it should not be approved.

The exchange will be made by a lease to the Government of the private lands in
consideration of the permit from the Government. The lease should be made for one
year, with the option to renew. It should also contain a clause that it may end
sooner on the revocation of the permit, and the permit should be made subject to
revocation at the option of the Forester. Sample copies of leases will be furnished
by the District Forester to supervisors, on request.

The lease should be executed fivefold and all copies forwarded to the District
Forester for approval. After approval one copy will be returned to the supervisor
for his files, together with another copy for transmittal to the permittee. The
remaining two copies and the original will be placed on file by the Comptroller of
the Treasury, the Office of Accounts, and the District Forester.

Permits issued on the basis of a lease will be prepared in accordance with the
general instructions of Regulation 69 governing pasture permits, and should also
contain a proper provision guarding against overgrazing of the National Forest land
under fence.

Explanation of Amended Instructions under Regulation 55 —

The November Field Program contained the following amendment to instructions
under Regulation 55:

Grazing permits for the summer season may be extended to cover the entire
year, wherever there is winter range available within the National Forest, upon
payment of the difference between the summer and year-long rates on stock
covered by the original permit,- in addition to the winter grazing fee on all ani-
mals which have reached the age of 6 months during the summer period.

The intent of the amendment is, that in cases where permits are extended, the
difference between the summer-season rate and the year-long rate should be charged
upon all of the stock covered by original permit and its increase for which permit is
necessary, but in cases where the additional stock is not the actual increase of the
stock grazed under permit during the summer season, the regularly established rate
for the winter season should be charged for the additional stock and a separate per-
mit issued for it. *

Change in Grazing Trespass Instructions —

Hereafter the supervisor will not notify the trespasser of the amount which will be
charged for damages on account of injury to the Forest by grazing trespass until after
the case has been reviewed by the District Forester.

After the statement of the trespasser has been received by the supervisor, or after
the ten days allowed for its presentation have expired, the supervisor will submit the

138

report and all other papers in the case, together with his recommendation, to the
District Forester. Upon receipt of instructions? from the District Forester regarding
either the amount which will he required in settlement for damages, or other action
to betaken in the case, the supervisor will present a proposition of settlement (Form
208) to the trespasser, to lie filled in and signed bv him and forwarded to the District
Forester. A letter of transmittal (Form 861) will also be presented to the trespasser
and a duplicate sent to the District Forester. The procedure thereafter will be in
accordance with the instructions in The Use Book.

Change in Serial Numbering- of Supplemental Permits—

Hereafter approved supplemental applications, subsequent to the issuance of the
first permit or extending summer permits to cover the year-long period, will be given
the same serial number as the original, with the addition of the letters "a," "b,"
etc., instead of being given a new serial number. This will obviate the necessity of
making a cross reference on the folders, since all the papers referring to each appli-
cant's graxing permits will he filed in the same folder.

Amendment of Crossing- Permit Form —

The attention of all Forest officers is called to the fact that Form 874-17, crossing
permit, does not contain a provision that the permit is subject to all valid claims and
not effective upon any but public land. All officers issuing crossing permits are
therefore instructed to amend the terms of each form by inserting the words "public

lands in" after the word "across" and preceding the words " National Forest,"

in each permit.

This action is m-cessiry to prevent the charge that such permits authorize the
graxing upon or crossing of private lands located along the route described in the
permit, and to prevent claims for damages sustained being filed against the officer
issuing the permit.

Closure of Special-Use Cases Issued in Connection with Grazing Permits —
In a great many instances supervisors, recommend closing special uses for corrals,

pastures, etc., without giving specific reasons for doing so. It is important that this

information be received before closing the cases in the Forester's files.

Special uses issued to applicants who have grazing permits for only a portion of

the year need not be closed if the graxing permits are to be renewed the following

vear.

Grazing Permits to be Prepared in Triplicate —

In order that their records may be complete, supervisors should prepare grazing
permits in triplicate, the original to be forwarded to the permittee, the duplicate to
the District Forester, and the third copy to be filed with the other papers in the case.

SERVICE NOTES FOR JANUARY.

These notes contain instructions and necessary information for
Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

L.AW.

Manual of Procedure Amended —

The sentence "Areas will be given so far as shown by the record," beginning on
line 0, page 82 of the Manual of Procedure, should be amended to read: "Areas and
the amount of timber will be given so far as shown by the record."

Trespass: Criminal Prosecution —

J. D. Combs pleaded guilty in the United States district court for Oregon of driving
cattle across the Deschutes National Forest without a permit. He was fined $50 and
costs, which he paid.

Dates for Hearings on Claims to Land —

The District Foresters should request supervisors to inform them promptly of
dates fixed by local land officers for hearings on claims to lands in their respective
Forests.

OPERATION.

Working1 Map for Improvement Estimates —

The working plan for improvements on each Forest which is to be submitted by
the supervisor with the improvement estimates for the next fiscal year should be
drawn upon the base maps of Forest Atlas folios, or upon other base maps already
prepared which have a scale of not less than one-half inch to one mile. The procla-
mation diagrams are usually on too small a scale for this purpose.

Credentials of District Officers —

It was reported recently that a man who had no connection with the Forest Service
represented himself to a ranger on the Coconino National Forest as a forest inspector,
and requested to be shown the ranger's official records. The ranger properly refused
to show them, on the ground that the man could not produce credentials.

Since many of the officers of the various District offices are unknown to the field
force on the National Forests, District officers when in the field should be supplied
with proj>er credentials, and field officers should not allow anyone not known to
them access to their records unless proper credentials are shown.

(151)

152

Keeping Track of Hunters and Campers —

While it is not considered good policy to require hunters and campers to secure
permits ( See Reg. 6, U. B. ), yet the number of serious fires of the past season which have
been traceable directly or indirectly to this class of Forest users makes it extremely
desirable that close track be kept of their movements while on the Forest. Rangers
should note in their diaries the presence and location of any hunters or campers that
they may encounter and should instruct them specifically of the regulations concern-
ing Forest fires. The tasK of finding out who started a fire will thus, in many cases,
be greatly facilitated.

Reports on Unpatented Claims-
Attention is called to page 36 of The Use Book, which requires reports on all un-
patented claims in National Forests. The supervisor should always require these
reports, but unless a timber trespass or some fact requiring adverse action on the
claim is shown the report need not be sent bv the supervisor to the District Forester,
but should be retained for reference until final proof is offered.

Reports and Correspondence on Improvement Work —

In a number of cases since December 1, reports on Form 283 and detailed state-
ments showing the cost of construction on permanent improvement projects have
been sent to the Chief of Engineering at Ogden, Utah. Since the district organiza-
tion went into effect December 1, all reports and correspondence of this nature
should be sent to the District Forester of the District concerned.

Requisitions for Barbed Wire, Telephone Supplies and Material —

Requisitions for this material should be sent to the District Forester and marked
"For Engineering Approval." This is in accordance with "OE" circular letters of
June 29, July 15, and July 18. It is noted that "OP:" circular letter of July 18
requests separate forms for barbed wire and telephone material, and states that they
should be sent to the Office of Engineering, Ogden, Utah. Separate Forms 668 are
still required, but they should now be sent to the District Forester, and not to the
Office of Engineering.

Approval of Applications for Private Telephones —

The attention of supervisors is called to Regulation 10, page 56, and to the
second paragraph on page 176 of The Use Bcok, which permit supervisors to
approve or reject applications for the installation of private instruments on
Forest Service telephone lines. The approval by the Forester of application forms,
as required by page 1 76, refers only to these cases originating with the supervisor prior
to the adoption of the printed form, Form 832-a. The supervisor should exercise
extreme care in granting permits of this character, in order to prevent the over-
crowding of telephone lines and interference with official business.

Favorable Reports on Claims —

In order to expedite action on claims, District Foresters, when making reports to
the General Land Office on Form 308, as provided on page 41, Manual of Procedure,
or any other reports favorable to the claimant, will please make one extra copy of
the letter of recommendation and forward it to the United States Land Office for the
District in which the land involved is located. It should be stamped " Copy for
Information of District Land Office."

Copies of adverse reports should not be sent to the District Land Offices, but to the
General Land Office, as provided in the Manual of Procedure. Supervisors should
continue the practice described on page 36 of The Use Book.

153

Examination and Report on Mining- Claims —

The attention of supervisors is called to the long-continued policy of the Forest
Service that only mining locations which are apparently invalid and which interfere
with the administration of the Forest or for which application for patent has been
made should be examined and reported upon. Since it is difficult to determine
the validity of mining claims in the early stages of the development of the sites,
the claimant should be encouraged in his possession and given every possible oppor-
tunity to prove the validity of his claim by his work, unless interference with For-
est administration is threatened or title is sought.

Three New National Forests Created —

On November 24 proclamations were signed creating the Ocala National Forest,
Florida, with an area of 207,285 acres, and the Dakota National Forest, North Da-
kota, with an area of 13,940 acres; and on November 27 the proclamation creating
the Choctawhatchee National Forest was signed. The area of this Forest is approxi-
rnatelv 467,606 acres.

Reports on Forms 654 and 655 —

All Forest officers submitting reports on Form 654 or "655 (revised August, 1908)
should be sure to indicate the numbers and subheadings shown on the forms, before
giving the information desired, viz:

1. Claimant, (Answers to outline. )

2. Description of claim. (Answers to outline.)

3. Topography and surface. (Answers to outline.)

In all reports submitted, information should be given as to whether final proof has
already been made or advertised.

Pay Rolls and Vouchers —

When making out pay rolls or vouchers on which the names of regularly appointed
men appear, supervisors should be very careful to see that the names are written in
the same way as they appear in the appointment. Failure to do this will cause trouble
and delay in the District offices.

Certification of Vouchers—

The provisions of Circular Letters 00, of July 1 and August 19, 1908, are not being
complied with by many supervisors. The proper form of certification of all vouchers
is essential.

When vouchers improperly certified are submitted to the District Forester it will
be necessary to return them for correct certification.

Rsmittances to District Depositories —

Supervisors should see to it immediately that their rangers and all Forest u^ers
who are called upon for payments are properly instructed in regard to remittances to
the District depositories. Drafts and money orders must hereafter be made payable
to the order of and transmitted to the National Bank selected as the depository in
each District. All the old letters of transmittal (Form 861) calling for remittances
payable to the Treasurer of the United States should be destroyed at once. The
notice of sale in advertised Class B timber sales should direct the remittance of
deposits accompanying bids as follows:

' ' And a deposit of ,

payable to the order of The National Bank,

----------- , ---

City. . State.

must be sent to that bank, for each bid submitted . . ."

154

Mail Concerning1 Property Accounts —

Mail relating to the actual settlement of property accounts will be signed by or
addressed to the Property Auditor, Forest Service," Ogden, Utah. Mention of this
was unintentionally omitted from the last paragraph under "Signing of Correspond-
ence, District Offices." Manual of Procedure, page 17.

Forest Atlas Legend Crayons —

Several times, after members of the Service have used up only one or two pencils
of a set of Forest Atlas legend crayons, they have made requisition for an' entire
new set. Every pencil in the set is numbered, and by indicating the number of the
pencil desired single pencils of any of the twelve colors can be obtained upon requi-
sition from the Property Clerk.

Reports of Claims on Forms 320, 654, and €55—

Forest officers who are supplied with typewriters should make in triplicate all
reports of claims on Forms 320, 654, and 655, retaining one copy for their personal
files and sending two copies to the supervisor. The supervisor should retain one copy
and forward one to the District Forester.

In case of unfavorable recommendations, four copies should be made, so that the
supervisor may send two copies to the District Forester, one of which is forwarded to
the Commissioner of the General Land Office.

When Forest officers are not provided with typewriters, they should make these
reports in duplicate, whether favorable or unfavorable, retain one copy, and send the
other to the supervisor. After making a copy for his iiles, the supervisor should for-
ward the report to the District Forester, and when the report as approved is unfavor-
able should send an extra copy.

SILVICULTURE.

Measurement of Snowfall in National Forests —

The attention of Forest officers is called to a note in the July Field Program
relating to methods of measuring snowfall in the National Forests. It is exceedingly
desirable that some practicable automatic apparatus be devised as soon as possible.
It is hoped tha many suggestions will be received from officers who are familiar with
the practical difficulties which are to be met. All plans for observation and record
will receive careful attention. They should be submitted to the Forester through
the District Forester, and will then be forwarded to the Weather Bureau for con-
sideration.

Sale of Timber on Burned-over Areas —

Timber .on a burned-over area may be sold even though negotiations for the col-
lection of damages from a railroad or other company causing the fire are pending,
because the timber will deteriorate rapidly in value if left standing. A record of the
timber sold on such burned-over area should be kept separate from the record of
anv timber on the sale not included within the burned-over district.

Timber Cutting- on Base Lands-
Timber cutting on base lands which were conveyed to the United States and for
which a lieu selection was filed before the repeal is trespass, although the lieu selec-
tion has not been approved, and should be treated exactly like any other timber
trespass, whether the trespasser is the man who made the conveyance to the United
States or a stranger. Such lands may be included in timber-sale areas.

Timber cutting on base land which was conveyed to the United States but for
which no lieu selection was filed before the repeal is trespass. If the trespasser is a
stranger, the same proceedings should be taken against him as in any other trespass
case. If the trespasser is the man who conveyed the land to the United States or
the assignee of his lieu selection right, the supervisor should report by wire, in order
that steps may be taken to protect by injunction the rights of the Government until
remedial legislation is passed or the rights of the trespasser determined. Such lands
should not be included in timber-sale areas without special instructions from the
District Forester.

155
GRAZING.

Bonds in Connection with Grazing1 Permits —

In all cases where a bond is required for protection against damages to the Forest
by grazing, the supervisor will prepare it, using the regular blank form, stating the
number and kind of stock to be grazed, and describing the portion of the range to be
occupied, and send it to the applicant with the Notice of Approval of the application
for a grazing permit. The bond must be executed and returned to the supervisor,
who will note the names and addresses of the sureties, and forward it to the District
Forester for approval. The permit will not be issued until notice of the approval of
the bond by the District Forester has been received and the grazing fees have been
paid in full. All bonds required in connection with grazing permits will be filed in
the Office of the District Forester.

Instructions Regarding- Trespass Reports-
Grazing Trespass reports, Form 856, should show clearly inclusive dates upon
which the stock are in trespass. The date of the report, which will be used in the
designation of the case, will be entered in the space indicated at the top of Form 85S.

Acknowledging1 Receipt of Grazing1 Applications —

When action on applications for grazing permits must be delayed until a date
which has been set for their final presentation, it is desired that supervisors acknowl-
edge their receipt by postal card, Form 303. Compliance with this request will pre-
vent many misunderstandings and be appreciated by the users of the National
Forests.

Card Record for Grazing- Permits Issued on Account of Private Land —

A new Grazing Record Card, Form 403, has been prepared, for keeping the record
of permits issued, under Regulation 65, on account of private lands. Beginning
January 1, 1909, this card should be used for recording all applications for grazing
permits under Regulation 65, whether the right to the exclusive use of the private
land is waived or not. The cards should be filed alphabetically under a guide card
placed behind the record cards for the regular paid permits.

Card Posters for Range Allotments —

In order to meet the demand for a poster to be used in marking the boundaries
of individual range allotments, a large card poster, Form 222, has been printed, and
may be had upon requisition to the Ogden Supply Depot. It is desired that the uee
of this poster be adopted in all Forests where individual range allotments have been
made and that, so far as possible, the lines be marked during the coming season.

SERVICE ORDERS.

SERVICE NOTES FOR FEBRUARY.

Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

LAW.

Amendment of Regulations 10 and 77, Use Book —

On January 4 Regulations 10 and 77 (Use Book of 1908, pages 56 and 151) were

amended by the Secretary of Agriculture to read as follows:

REG. 10. The Forester and such officers as he may designate may issue, extend,
renew, or revoke permits for special uses within National Forests, with such
conditions as to area, time, and requirements as they may deem best, and they
may make reasonable charges for such permits.

REG. 77. The Forester and such officers as he may designate may issue such
permits, demand and approve such bonds, require such stipulations, and approve
and execute such leases and other contracts as are required or permitted by law
or these regulations, or as the Secretary of Agriculture is required or permitted
to demand, approve, require, or execute in matters affecting the Forest Service
and the National Forests. And the Forester and such officers as he may desig-
nate may in like manner revoke or cancel such documents for cause or at discre-
tion as such documents may respectively provide.

Fire Trespass: Disagreement of the Jury —

An important case of willfully setting fire to a part of the Klamath National Forest
was reported January 16. Through the trespass of Louis R. Webb, September 1, a
large area was burned over and much timber destroyed along the boundary line
between California and Oregon, both in the Klamath and in the Siskiyou National
Forests. The trial was held December 30 and resulted in a disagreement of the jury.

Property Trespass: Referred to Department of Justice —

The theft of a Government tent from a ranger station at Ash Creek, Cal., by
William Wells, October 21, was reported from the Shasta National Forest in January.
The case was referred to the Department of Justice, November 27.

Trespass: Criminal Prosecution —

George Burnett and Earl Carmack pleaded guilty and were fined $25 each in the
United States district court, southern district of California, January 11, under section
2 of the act of May 5, 1900 (31 Stat., 169: Use Book, 253), for leaving an unex-
tinguished camp fire on the Cleveland National Forest.

George E. Bowers was convicted before a justice of the peace, San Diego, Cal.r
for negligently starting a forest fire on the Cleveland National Forest, and was ordered
to serve time in jail on failure to pay a fine of $35.

(177)

178

S. J. Harris was indicted November 12, 1908, by the grand jury at Fresno, Cal.,
for violation of Section 1 of the act of February 25, 1885 (23 Stat., 321: Use Book,
250), in unlawfully asserting a right to the exclusive use and occupancy of public
lands within the Sierra National Forest.

Dismissal of criminal proceedings was recommended in the case against George
Standart, Lowell Standart, and John W. Standart, who were arrested under war-
rants issued by the United States Commissioner at Fresno, Cal., for wilfully remov-
ing timber which had been cut in trespass and was under seizure by the officers of
the Sierra National Forest.

Trespass: Civil Action —

Complaint for $2,174.41 damages was filed on January 5 in the United States dis-
trict court, northern district of California, against the Trinity Bonanza King Mining
Company for willful timber trespass in the Shasta National Forest.

OPERATION.

Devices for Measuring- Snowfall —

A number of letters and designs in regard to devices for measuring snowfall have
been received from Forest officers. These have been forwarded to the AVeather
Bureau, which desires to express its thanks for the helpful suggestions contained in
them and appreciation of the interest shown. All suggestions along this line are
very welcome and will receive careful attention.

Listing- Lands within Withdrawn Areas —

Forest officers should bear in mind that the act of June 11, 1906, authorizes the
listing of lands within withdrawn areas as well as within National Forests. The
Forester has been informed by the Commissioner of the General Land Office that in
several cases Forest officers have referred applicants for withdrawn lands to his
office.

Necessary to Identify Administrative Sites —

Inquiries toithe Forester respecting administrative sites should show the date on
which the General Land Office was requested to make withdrawal, the name of the
site, the location, and the Forest. This information is necessary in order to identify
the case in the General Land Office.

Administrative Sites: Blueprints —

The General Land Office has asked that requests for withdrawal of proposed
administrative sites, where the land is unsurveyed, be accompanied by three copies
of the blueprint and three copies of the field notes. This instruction amends Para-
graph 5, under Ranger Stations, Page 40 of the Manual.

Administrative Sites: Form 263 —

A large stock of Form 263, cloth notice of withdrawal of lands for administrative
sites to be posted on the land, is still on hand. Therefore Form 394, which was to
supersede it, will not be printed until the supply of Form 263 is exhausted. The
supply depot at Ogden will conlinue to furnish Form 263.

179

Disposal of Original and Duplicate Notification of Receipt —

Some supervisors have failed to notify Forest officers who prepared letters of trans-
mittal for payments that the remittances were received and that the amounts had
been placed to the credit of the permittee. Under the new system the original and
duplicate Notification of Receipt, Form 26, are sent to the supervisor. After making
appropriate entry on his records, he should send the original to the permittee and
the duplicate to the Forest officer who handled the transaction.

Claims: Amendment of Use Book Instructions —

In order that the Service may not appear to protest entries when it is simply desired

to s'ecure time to make an examination, the instructions in the first sentence on Page

37 of The Use Book are hereby amended to read as follows:

If he has sufficient information which in his judgment actually warrants a pro-
test, and has not reported adversely to the District Forester, he should return
the notice to the local land office with the endorsement, "The Forest Service
protests against this claim and requests time to make further investigation." If,
however, he has not sufficient information which in his judgment warrants pro-
testing the claim, and has not reported to the District Forestei, he should return
the notice to the local land office with the endorsement, " The Forest Service
will investigate and report upon this claim and requests that action be suspended
pending such investigation and report."

Return to the Old Procedure on Claims Reports —

The instruction given in the Field Program for January directing the District For-
esters to forward a copy of the letter made on Form 308 to District Land Offices may
be disregarded. After further consideration the General Land Office has decided
that the old procedure should be followed.

Reports on Claims outside of Forests —

Whenever it comes to the knowledge of the Forest officers that public lands out-
side the National Forests are being illegally used or appropriated, such information
should be sent to the District Foresters, who, in turn, will forward it, without recom-
mendation, to the Commissioner of the General Land Office for his consideration.

Reports on Daily Service Should Be Initialed —

Hereafter members detailed from the District office for temporary work under the
direction of supervisors should have their daily Service reports initialed by each
supervisor for the time employed on his Forest, and the complete Service report for
the month should be forwarded to the District office. If supervisors so desire they
may have copies made of the reports, or of such parts of them as they need for their
office records.

Instructions for Closing- Claims Cases —

No general instructions have been issued hitherto for closing claims- cases. Where
favorable recommendation is made, the case should be closed by the District Forester
on the date of his recommendation to the Commissioner of the General Land Office,
and by the supervisor when he receives a copy of the District Forester's recommen-
dation. Where adverse recommendation is made, the case should be closed by the
District Forester when he receives notice from the Commissioner of the General Land
( )ffire of the cancellation of the entry or annulment of the settlement or location, and
by the supervisor when he receives such notice from the District Forester. All Dis-
trict foresters and supervisors should at once close and transfer from their current
files all those claims cases which the above instructions require to be closed.

180

Instructions for Closing- Settlement Cases —

No general instructions have been issued hitherto for closing settlement cases.
Where favorable action is taken, the case should be closed by the District Forester
on the date he receives notice from the Commissioner of the General Land Office of
the restoration of the land to entry and by the supervisor when he receives such
notice from the District Forester. Where adverse action is taken for any specific
legal reason apart from the character of the land, the case should be closed by the
District Forester on the date he rejects the application and by the supervisor on the
date he receives notice of the rejection. AVhen an application is rejected because of
the character of the land, the District Forester and supervisor should each prepare a
follow-up card and close the case sixty days after the rejection, unless pending cor-
respondence arising from the rejection prevents closing the case then, in which event
the follow-up card will be set ahead, pending final action. Papers in the folders of
•closed cases may be transferred, when necessary, to the folders of new or supple-
mental applications, leaving an appropriate memorandum in the closed folder. All
District Foresters and supervisors should at once close and transfer from their cur-
rent files all those settlement cases which the above instructions require to be closed.

Amount of Acreage in Special-Use Permits—

A number of "special-use permits have been received by the District Foresters
which do not specify the acreage or mileage involved. It is necessary to specify
this in every case. Under the District organization a report of the number of special-
use permits issued and the total acreage or mileage covered is required to be made
from each District office.

Description of Land in Reports or Bequests-
All reports or requests to the General Land Office transmitted by District For-
esters should in every instance give a careful description of the land involved, by
section, township, and range, together with the names of the claimants, in order
that the cases may be identified in that office. The Forester has been informed by
the Commissioner of the General Land Office of several cases of neglect to give
description. The importance of giving these data should be noted.

Dates for Supervisors' Reports Advanced —

The Use Book, page 195, " Distribution of Ranger Service," provides that super-
visors should send, on November 1, an annual report to the District Forester showing
the total number of days devoted by the ranger force on each Forest to each class of
work during the preceding fiscal year. The Manual of Procedure, page 81, provides
that the District Forester shall send to the Forester, on December 1, an annual report
on the distribution of rangers' services. It is found that this report should reach the
Forester at an earlier date. The date set in The Use Book is therefore changed to
September 1 and that in the Manual to October 1.

Papers to Accompany Applications for Special-Use Permits —

The Manual of Procedure provides that in applications for Class A special-use
permits the supervisor shall transmit to the District Forester his recommendations,
accompanied by other reports and papers, including the report of the District engi-
neer. In order that satisfactory arrangements may be made for the engineering
examination, it is desirable that the supervisor notify the District Forester immedi-
ately when an application for a Class A permit is received by him.

The Statistical Atlas to Appear This Month —

The 1907 volume of the Statistical Atlas will be issued during February. It
will consist of 30 pages of maps, diagrams, and tables selected from the standard size
manuscript volume which is part of the record of the Forest Service. It will
be printed in 14 colors. The size of the bound volume is 10 by 12 inches. It will be

181

issued for the official use of Forest officers and is not designed for general circulation.
A limited number of copies will be given to libraries, educational institutions, and
associations devoted to the interest of forestry, or to the conservation of other natural
resources. This book will not only furnish condensed information to Forest officers,
but will assist them in preparing diagrams for future editions of the Statistical Atlas.

Proper Way to Remit to Depositories —

In all probability it will be some time before remittances are received in proper
form by the designated depositories in the District headquarters. The work done
by these banks is entirely gratuitous and every effort should be made to lighten it.
The officers on the Forests, and especially the rangers, can be of great assistance if
they will carefully explain to all with whom they transact business that drafts or
money orders are to be made payable as follows: In District 1, to the Western
Montana National Bank, Misspula, Mont; in District 2, to The Denver National
Bank, Denver, Colo.; in District 3, to The First National Bank, Albuquerque, N.
Mex.; in District 4, to The First National Bank, Ogden, Utah; in District 5, to The
First National Bank, San Francisco, Cal.; in District 6, to The First National Bank,
Portland, Oreg.

Personal checks and bank drafts upon local banks will not be accepted by the
depositories nor credited until collection is made. The most acceptable form of
remittance is the post-office money order. The remittance and Form 861 are to be
mailed directly to the bank and' not to the District Fiscal Agent. If all Forest
officers will be careful properly to designate the cases on both the original and
duplicate Forms 861, it will help much in identifying the payment with the trans-
action.

Hanger and Guard Labor —

Ranger and guard labor may, in the discretion of the supervisor, be 'used on per-
manent improvement work without charging the time to the project on which the
labor is placed. In all cases, however, the proper charge must b .1 indicated in the
detailed statement submitted upon the completion of each project. If a supervisor
cares to use ranger and guard labor on an authorized project and at the same time
charge it to his salary allotment, this may be done. In no case, however, must any
building cost more than $500, which figure must include all labor, material, and sup-
plies. Care should be taken to see that proper entry of the charge is made on Form
99 accompanying the voucher on which payment is made.

Information as to Lost Property should be Specific —

The explanation given by supervisors on the Certificate of Loss, Form 858, is usu-
ally very meager and does not show beyond reasonable doubt that the loss of the
article was not due to fault or negligence. In many cases when the loss was excus-
able it has erroneously been charged against the supervisors for the reason that the
explanation submitted was incomplete. The attention of supervisors is called to
section 161 of The Green Book.

Distribution of Salary between Allotments on Form 143—

Section 137, page 40, of The Green Book, concerns "Cost Keeping by Projects" in
Washington and is applied only to vouchers which are paid wholly from one appro-
priation. When National Forest pay rolls include salaries payable partly from
general expense and partly from improvement, the amount chargeable to each
should be determined from the salary table in The Fiscal Regulations or The Green
Book; thus, 4 days at $1,500 per annum should be $16.67, not four times $4.17, the
charge for 1 day. When Sundays or holidays are included in a period, they should
be added to the number of days charged. The 31st of the month should never be
charged to either allotment.

182

Additions to National Forests —

On January 20 a proclamation was signed adding 600,135 acres to the Independence
Division of the Humboldt National Forest, making the area of this Forest 1,158,814.
On January 21 a proclamation was signed adding 45,575 acres to the Charleston Divi-
sion of the Moapa National Forest, making the area of this Forest 390,580 acres.

Date for Mailing Timber-Cut Report —

The Manual of Procedure provides that all reports specified as monthly should be
mailed to Washington not later than the 5th of the month; it is found, however,
that an exception must be made in the case of the monthly report on timber cut.
This should be mailed by the District Forester not later than the 15th of the
month.

SILVICULTURE.

Estimate of Timber on Relinquished Claims —

On several occasions it has been found necessary to have information concerning
the amount of timber on claims relinquished within the National Forests. Super-
visors, when transmitting copies of relinquishments to the District Forester, are
requested to include an approximate estimate, by species, of such timber. This
should also be done when entries, on which the District P'orester has had no report,
are canceled by the Department of the Interior. If it be impracticable to supply
the estimate at the time the report of the relinquishment is transmitted or the
notice of cancellation is received, a promise card (Form 326), indicating the date it
will be furnished, should be sent the District Forester.

Careful Description of Timber Condition Necessary —

Reports on timber sales almost invariably describe the timber as over-mature,
whereas subsequent inspection shows in many cases the timber to be thrifty trees
that could be safely left uncut for a number of years. Over-mature timber can be
readily distinguished by partially dead crowns, scanty yellowish foliage, or other
indications of extreme old age or approaching decline and death. It is absolutely
essential that greater care be taken accurately to describe the present condition of
the timber, since this is often one of the chief factors in determining whether a sale
should be made.

The Need of Using- Check List Names of Trees —

The attention of supervisors and Field officers is again called to the requirement of
using the check list names in designating Forest trees. Letters of transmittal,
reports, and correspondence received at the District offices show that this require-
ment is being generally neglected, and that local names are being used. The fact
that the names used locally vary so widely, even within the same locality, makes it
difficult in many cases for the District offices to know just what species is meant.
Field officers should familiarize themselves with the check list names of the species
in their locality and should always use them.

Number of Lines Allowed in Advertisements-
It has been found necessary to disallow one or more lines in several newspaper
advertisements for applications for grazing permits and timber sales, owing to the
fact that certain supervisors have failed to follow the instructions on the second page
of the Form BF, voucher for advertising, under "Instructions to the Publishers."
The name and title of the Officer signing the advertisement should be continuous
with the reading matter, thus: Harry H. French, Forest Supervisor. Only one line
should be u^ed for the name of the supervisor and his title. All "copy" should be
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Service, as shown on the form
voucher,

183

Information as to the District Library —

Owing to lack of clerical help it has been found difficult in some cases for the sec-
tion of Silvics to handle the routine work necessary in caring for the District library
according to instructions on Pa .re 71 of the Manual of Procedure. District Foresters
may, if they desire, arrange to have the purely routine work handled by the Section
of Maintenance, but the general supervision and control of the library will, in every
case, remain with the Section of Silvics. Since the appropriation for the purchase
of books for field libraries is practically exhausted, it will be impossible, except in
unusual cases, to purchase additional books during the remainder of the present fis-
cal year. Suggestions as to books which are needed in the libraries will be gladly
received, however, and placed on file for consideration.

Continued Use of Obsolete Forms —

Many supervisors continue to use obsolete timber-sale forms. Forest descriptions,
prepared by rangers on the old Form 578 and approved by the supervisor, are
received continually. This form has been obsolete for almost a year. The old
forms of timber-sale contracts, bonds, and sawmill agreements are also being used,
instead of the new forms. Forms 578-A and 578-B should always be used in pre-
paring Forest D scriptions and estimates; Form 202, pages 1 and 2 and pages 3 and
4, should be used in timber-sale applications and contracts; Form 400, just recently
issued, is for use in all sawmill agreements; and Form 377 is the new form of bond]
Obsolete forms should be destroyed, and rangers should be supplied with the latest
forms.

List of Officers Authorized to Sail Timber-
As soon as possible each supervisor should furnish tlje District Forester a list of
all Forest officers under his supervision who have been authorized to sell dead and
green timber not exceeding $50 in value, in accordance with Regulation 30, page 78,
of The Use Book. Whenever on any Forest new men are authorized to make such
sales the District Forester should at once be notified of this action, in order that these
lists may be kept up to date in the District office.

Specific Signature to Certain Letters —

Correspondence with the Property Auditor relating to property accounts will be
signed by the member of the Service who is directly held accountable for the
property.

GRAZING.

Drift-Fence Permits should Give Mileage —

In many cases the reports and permits on drift fences received from supervisors
do not show the length of the fence to be constructed. It is important that this be
given, so that statistics may be compiled for use in annual reports. The permits
should show the length either in rods or miles, whichever measure is more con-
venient.

Use of Form 861 instead of Form 762 —

Some of the supervisors seem to be confused about the use of Form 861 in connec-
tion with grazing permits and are sending to the District Foresters duplicates of this
form instead of Form 762. Only in grating-trespass cases and grazing-use cases are
duplicates of Form 8bl to be forwarded to the District office.

Changes in Established Grazing Periods, Allowances, etc. —

Supervisors' letters or recommendations requesting special grazing periods and
rates or changes in the prescribed allowances for their Forests should be submitted
to the District Forester in duplicate, as in the case of annual reports.

184

Grazing Uses and Reports Connected with Them —

Supervisors should be careful to transmit the report and duplicate Form 861 with
the permit in each special use case, in order to avoid unnecessary subsequent cor-
respondence by the District office; and in all cases permits should bear the same
designation as the Form 861. In no instance should the date in the case designa-
tion precede that of the report or the application.

Use of Private Lands of Indeterminate Status —

In some cases permits for the use of private lands are being issued by supervisors
to permittees whose names do not appear on the records of previous permits, and
with nothing to show whether the status has been determined, although this might
have been done in connection with some previous permit to another. All such per-
mits should be accompanied by a memorandum or letter showing whether the status
has been previously determined and in what manner.

Grazing- on Unperfected Mining- Claims —

. A mining claimant holding an unperfected valid claim has no right to graze stock
upon it which is not used in the development of the mine, or to sell the forage to
anyone else; but it is the policy of the Forest Service to give the mining claimant
every protection needed successfully to carry on his work.

Persons holding permits for range within which unperfected valid mining claims
are located should be warned not to allow their stock to graze upon such claims when
this would interfere with the development of the mine or the consumption of forage
needed by stock used in its development.

Refunds must be Approved by District Forester —

Particular attention is called to the instructions under Regulation 57, which require
the supervisor to forward all requests for grazing reiunds to the District Forester with
recommendations for approval or rejection. ^The District Forester will decide whether
or not the refund will be made. All vouchers for grazing refunds will be prepared
by the District Forester and sent to the supervisor for the signature of the applicant.

Permits for Sheep and Goats under Regulation 54 —

In National Forests, where small portions of the range along the boundary line are
well adapted to sheep or goat grazing, but are not of sufficient area to support a band
of sheep or goats during the regular graxing periods and can only be used to advan-
tage in connection with the adjoining outside range, or where portions of the outside
range can only be used to advantage in connection with watering places located with-
in the National Forests, it will be within the authority of the District Forester to
allow the issuance of permits under the provisions of Regulation 54 requiring the
graxing fees to be paid only on such number of animals as would be proportionate
with the amount of National Forest range. But no such application will be approved
by the supervisor until authority has tirst been received from the District Forester.

Designation of Grazing District Subdivisions —

Whenever it is possible, subdivisions of grazing districts should be designated by
local names instead of by numbers or letters. For example, the description in the
permit should be ''Green River Cattle Range," District 2, in preference to "subdi-
vision 3," District 2. When individual range allotments are made they should be
described briefly in the permit either by natural boundaries or section lines. It is
believed this method will be better understood by the stockmen and will be less
liable to cause confusion in the records.

Distribution of Publications —

In the future when circulars and other publications are issued they will be distrib-
uted to members of the Service in the manner provided for the distribution of the
Field Program on pages 12 and 13 of the Manual of Procedure.

In accordance with an order of the Secretary of Agriculture, no distribution of
publications shall be made by any oflice of the Forest Service except when it is
desired to send a marked copy referred to in a letter, or to hand a copy to a visitor.
In all other cases, applications for the mailing of publications must be made on pub-
lication requests, Form 9- Doc. Sec., or Form lOA-Doc. Sec. These must bear in the
lower left-hand corner the initials of the District Forester, or, if the requests emanate
from an ofHce in Washington, the initials of the office chief. The initials of the
Forester should be stamped on the line marked "(Name)''. All such requests from
District offices should be mailed to the Forester.

Distribution of Forms —

The entire remaining stock of forms for District use has this month been trans-
ferred from the Property Clerk in AVashington to the Property Clerk at Ogden, on
whom all requisitions must in future be drawn. It is therefore important that the
needs of the several Districts should be anticipated well in advance by District offi-
cers, since there is absolutely no longer a supply in Washington on which emergency
drafts may be made. It is suggested that each District Forester should inform the
Property Clerk at Ogden, with each order for a given form, how long a time the
uantity of that form called for will probably last, to enable him better to estimate

e quantity he should carry in stock.

SERVICE NOTES FOR MARCH.

These notes contain instructions and necessary information for
Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.
LAW.

Carbon Copies of Official Correspondence-

It is the uniform custom of the Department of Justice to submit copies of official
correspondence in reference to special cases to the several United States attorneys in
whose districts the cases arise. Since it is much easier to have an extra carbon made
than to make a complete new copy, the Department of Justice has informally re-
quested that a carbon be submitted with the original letter. Hereafter, therefore,
letters to the Attorney-General should be transmitted with three carbon copies, in-
stead of two. as formerly.

Proposition of Settlement in Litigated Cases —

In cases which have been referred to the Department of Justice, no settlement
should be accepted until the United States attorney has been consulted. When suit
has been actually instituted, settlement must be 'made through the United States
attorney upon recommendation of the Forest Service. When ciiminal action has
been instituted, no settlement of any civil damages which the Government may have
sustained should be made by Forest officers until after consultation and agreement
with the United States attorney.

Fire Trespass: Criminal Prosecution —

S. R. Taylor pleaded guilty in the United States court for the eastern district of
Washington to setting a fire within the Colville National Forest. He was fined $25
and costs ($154.25) and was committed to the Spokane County jail until final costs
were paid.

Grazing Trespass: Permanent Injunction Issued —

In the civil case against J. D. Combs, in the United States district court for Oregon,
for grazing cattle upon the Deschutes National Forest without a permit, a decree was
entered permanently enjoining him from trespassing, and from pasturing or grazing
cattle upon the Forest without a permit, and further adjudging him to pay $25 dam-
ages and costs, amounting to $80. This judgment he paid in full.

Cases Decided —

On motion of the defendants, Joseph Luxen and James W. Zimmerman, final
decrees were issued, on January 26, by the circuit court for Colorado, enjoining the
defendants from grazing cattle on the Holy Cross National Forest.

A decree in equity was issued on .January 7 by Judge Garland, in the circuit court
of South Dakota, western district, in the case of Lewis et al. v. Garlocketal. (the
United States intervenor) sustaining the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture to
sell timber on an unperfected mining location in the Black Hills National Forest.

(203)

204

Litigated Claims Cases —

When litigated claims cases are referred to the Forester, the District Forester
should request the Commissioner of the General Land Office to suspend the case for
thirty days, and the Forester should be sent a statement setting forth reasons, if any
exist, why the Commissioner should be asked to reverse the decision of the Register
and Receiver. The papers in the case should remain in the "OLX" files of the dis-
trict law officer, since the record in these cases can be obtained from the General
Land Office.

Cooperation with State Officials —
The Secretary of Agriculture has approved the following regulation:

"All Forest officers will cooperate with State and Territorial officials, so far as
they can without undue interference with their regular Forest work, to enforce
local laws for the prevention and extinguishment of forest fires. When author-
ized to do so by the proper State officers, they will, without additional pay, act
as fire wardens with full power to enforce the local laws."

Changes in Common Names of Trees —

The following changes have been made in the common names of trees given in the
Check List, and hereafter the newly adopted names are requested to be used by
members of the Service in designating these species:

Pinus monticola, substitute western white pine for silver pine; Pinus quadrifolia,
four-leaf pine for Parry pifion; Pinus monophylla, single-leaf pine for single-leaf
pinon; Pinus ponderosa, western yellow pine for bull pine; Pinus ponder osa scopulo-

OPERATION.

Special-Use Permits for Wagon Roads —

There is an apparent conflict between Regulations 12 and 15 of The Use Book,
Regulation 12 stating that no permit is necessary for the construction of wagon roads
by States or counties over National Forest lands, while Regulation 15 implies that a
permit is necessary, unless the road was constructed prior to the creation of the
Forest. Although prior to July 1, 1908, States and counties were required to obtain
permits authorizing them to construct roads and trails through National Forests, it
was intended by Regulation 12 that this piactice should be discontinued; therefore
permits are not now necessary for such purposes. When the new Use Book shall be
issued, Regulation 15 will be changed to harmonize with Regulation 12.

205

Leases to Be Made in Duplicate-
Hereafter leases for office quarters in the field, Form 54, will be executed in dupli-
cate, the original for the Auditor for the State and other Departments and the
duplicate for the lessor. As many extra copies can be made as are necessary for
administrative purposes.

Additions to National Forests—

On January 28 a proclamation was signed adding 191,442 acres to the Pecos National
Forest, making the present area of this Forest 622,322 acres. On February 1 a proc-
lamation was signed adding 76,494 acres to the Prescott National Forest, making the
present area of this Forest 1,541,762 acres. On February 10 a proclamation was
signed creating the Marquette National Forest, Michigan, with an approximate area
of 30,603 acres; also a proclamation creating the Nevada National Forest, with an
approximate area of 1,222,312 acres; also a proclamation enlarging the Dixie National
Forest by the addition of 11,545 acres, approximately; also a proclamation enlarging
the Tonfo National Forest by the addition of 42,740 acres, approximately. On Feb-
ruary 11 a proclamation was signed creating the Michigan National Forest, with an
area of 132,770 acres. On February 13 a proclamation was signed adding 6,575 acres
to and eliminating 14,711 acres from the Gila National Fore.-t, making the present
area of this Forest 1,782,562 acres; also a proclamation creating the Superior National
Forest, with an area of 909,734 acres; also a proclamation enlarging the Klamath
National Forest, adding 65,119 acres, making the present area of this Forest 2,094,467
acres. On February 15 a proclamation was signed adding 3,840 acres to the Sioux
National Forest, making the present area of this Forest 249,653 acres. On the same
date a proclamation was signed adding 26,880 acres to the Black Hills National
Forest, making the present area of this Forest 1,190,040 acres. On February 16 a
proclamation was signed adding 8,724,000 acres to the Tongass National Forest,
making the area of the present Forest 15,480,986 acres. On February 20 a proclama-
tion was signed adding 113,034 acres to the Toiyabe National Forest, making the
present area of this Forest 1,678,714 acres.

On March 1, 1909, the following-named National Forests will be added to District
1: By new proclamations, the Superior National Forest, the Marquette National
Forest, and ti.e Michigan National Forest; by transfer from District 2, the Minne-
sota National Forest and the Dakota National Forest.

Phrase Changed in the Manual of Procedure —

On page 82 of the Manual of Procedure, under Periodic Reports to the Forester,
"Personnel" (quarterly), the words "month of each" should be inserted between
the words "last" and "quarter," making the sentence read as follows: "Personnel
(quarterly. ) — A tabular statement of the District personnel at the end of the last month
of each quarter," etc.

Next Examination for Assistant Forest Banger-
It is expected that the next examination for the position of Assistant Forest Ranger
will not be held until some time during the fall of 1909. This examination will be
along the same lines as the last one, and will be conducted at each supervisor's
headquarters as formerly.

Dams Must not Obstruct the Movements of Fish —

The Bureau of Fisheries has requested that permits for constructing dams on fish
streams within National Forests requi e the permittees to maintain adequate fish-
ways, so as not to obstruct the movement-* of fish. The Service will comply with
this request and will use the following clause in puch permits: "To construct and
maintain fi.-^hways which will enable fish to pass over the dam at all times."

Reports on Completed Improvement Projects —

Supervisors should submit to the District Forester a detailed report on every per-
manent improvement project as soon after it has been completed as possible. When
a progress report (Form 283) is submitted showing the project 100 per cent completed,
and the supervisor is not able to submit at once a detailed report, the approximate
date on which the District Forester will receive it should he noted on the Form 283.

206

Permanent Monuments Should Be Carefully Erected —

In making surveys of proposed administrative sites, or June 11 claims, special
attention should be given to the establishment of permanent monuments, since monu-
ments take precedence overall other evidence in relocating lines. Wherever possible,
marked stones should be used instead of trees or stakes.

Regarding- Changes in District Boundaries —

On and after March 1, 1909, the States of North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Michigan will be included in District 1, under the supervision of the District
Forester at Missoula, Mont.

Annual Silvical Report Due within a Month —

Attention is called to the fact that the annual silvical report for 1909 is due April 1.
The outline, as revised for 1908, has been sent to all Forest assistants and should be
used in preparing this report. For Forests on which previous reports have been sub-
mitted, the present report should contain any corrections and additions to points
already covered and should also take up in detail subjects not treated before. A
revised outline will be prepared for the field season of 1909.

Rangers to Provide for Closure of Cases —

In the revised Form 874-14, to be issued, provision will be made for the actual
closure of free-use ca^es by the ranger, instead of a recommendation that the case be
closed. Until a supply of the revised form is distributed to all supervisors, instead
of recommending the closure of the case the rangers will write across the form " This
case is closed," thus making further correspondence unnecessary.

Date Changed for Issue of Schedule —

The Manual of Procedure provides that the minimum stumpage rates shall be
revised annually on March 1, while Regulation 22, page 71 of The Use Book, states
that supervisors shall issue at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1) a schedule
of minimum rates for the free-use business 01 his Forest. In order to reduce routine
work in the supervisors' offices during the summer field season, it has been decided
that this annual schedule of minimum rates for free-use business also be issued on
March 1 instead of July 1.

Shipment of Seed and Nursery Stock —

The following data should be sent to the supervisor of the National Forest and to
the District Forester concerned whenever a shipment of seed is made: Species; num-
ber of pounds; cost per pound ready for shipment; shipping point and designation;
place and time of collection; exposure and altitude of place of collection, if available.
Sufficient data for identification should be inclosed with each shipment of seed.

The following data should be sent whenever a shipment of nursery stock is made:
Species; number of plants; age of stock; kind of stock, whether seedling or trans-
plant; source of stock; source of seed; cost of stock per M ready for shipment: con-
dition of stock when shipped; method of packing; date of shipment; and date when
stock should be received by the consignee. Consignees should notify both the Dis-
trict Forester and the consignor immediately upon the receipt of shipment, with a
full report on the condition in which the stock is received.

Surplus Seed-
Each District Forester is requested to submit for the April "Field Program a
report of the quantity of surplus seed on hand available for distribution to other
Districts, after planning for the work of the coming season.

207

Stumpage Prices to be Quoted only when Authorized —

Owing to several misunderstandings between purchasers of timber and the Forest
Service as to the conditions of sale in timber sales, every Forest officer should be
careful to avoid giving the prospective purchaser the condit ons of sale before the
matter has been taken up with the supervisor or superior officer and a decision
reached. The quoting of a stum page price to the applicant without beini author-
ized is not only objectionable to the Service but unsatisfactory to the purchaser.

GRAZING.

Designation of Special-Use Grazing Cases —

The term "residence" should not be applied to buildings where they are used
free in connection with grazing permits, since this is generally used with paid per-
mits. Ordinarily the term "cabins" will apply.

Reference to the Numbers of Regulations —

In their correspondence, some of the supervisors refer to Regulations 58 and 63
when Regulation 65 is meant. It is important that all reference to regulations by
their numbers should be in accordance with the latest edition of The Use Book.

Notice of Changes in Stock Associations —

Supervisors should inform the District Forester of any change in the personnel of
Advisory Boards or new by-laws or amendments which are adopted by stock asso-
ciations whose advisory board is recognized by the Forest Service. With this end
in view, supervisors should request the secretaries of such associations to keep them
advised of any such changes.

Designation of Special-Use Permits—

Separate permits must be issued for each specific use of a National Forest, but The
Use Book provides that inclosures which contain both pasture and agricultural land
may be designated as "pisture" when the amount of agricultural or wild hay lands
is les-3 than 40 acres. Failure to comply with this rule has caused much confusion
in the offices of the Fiscal Agents, and it is requested that hereafter Forest officers be
careful not to use more than one designation for any single case. If the amount of
agricultural or wild hay land within a pasture is less than 40 acres, it may be desig-
nated as a "pasture," but if the amount exceeds 40 acres it should then be desig-
nated as "agricultural" or "hay sale," as the case may be. However, in all ca^es
where the area of agricultural land exceeds the area of pasture land the use should
be designated as "agricultural." A double designation, such as " Pasture and Agri-
cultural," should not be used in any case. Allsuch permits will be returned for
correction.

Cooperation with B. A. I. Inspectors —

It is desired that all Forest officers cooperate to the fullest possible extent with
inspectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry in the enforcement of quarantine regu-
lations. When it is known that inspection certificates will be required before stock
is allowed to enter a National Forest, the supervisor should furnish the Chief Inspector
of the Bureau of Animal Industry with a list of the permittees and the dates upon
which the stock will be allowed to enter the Forest. No modifications of the quar-
antine regulations will be allowed except with the consent of the B. A. I. inspectors.
These instructions also apply to cooperation with State inspectors in the enforcement
of State quarantine regulations.

Monthly Grazing- Reports by Forest Rangers —

Beginning with the month of April, 1909. all Forest rangers and guards within
whose districts grazing is allowed will be required to make monthly reports on the
condition of both the stock and the range under their charge. A regular outline has
been prepared for guidance in making these reports, and copies will be furnished all
Forest officers not later than April 1, 1909.

Disposal of Duplicate Notification of Receipt for Grazing1 Payments —

The item published on page 179 of the February Field Program has left many
of the supervisors in doubt regarding the proper disposal of duplicates of the notifi-
cation of receipt for grazing payments. As all grazing permit cases are handled by
the supervisor the procedure differs from that for timber sales. Therefore in all
grazing cases, after having made the proper entry on his records, the supervisor will
send the original notification of receipt to the permittee and file the duplicate in his
office with the other papers in the case.

Private Lands of Unknown Ownership —

In cases where the ownership of private land within a National Forest is unknown,
or when the owner of private land does not object to its use without compensation
or lease, permits for the adjoining range may be issued under the provisions of
Regulation 54, requiring the grazing fees to be paid only on that portion of the stock
which will be grazed upon the lands belonging to or under control of the United
States, with the distinct understanding that the portion of the stock which is being
grazed upon the private land in question must be removed immediately upon
request of the owner of the land.

In the issuance of permits under these circumstances the grazing capacity of private
lands need not be estimated unless the supervisor deems it advisable, but payment
of grazing fees may be required upon a number of stock which would be propor-
tionate with the area of the land belonging to or under control of the United States.

The Forest Service has no right to issue permits or collect grazing fees for the use
of the State or private land except under the provisions of a cooperative agreement,
or when it has been leased to the United States, or when the owners or lessees have
waived the right to its exclusive use in exchange for a grazing permit. For this
reason all estimates of the grazing capacity of the National Forests should be based
only upon the lands owned by or under control of the United States.

Keeping- and filing- Records of Addresses —

It is extremely important that a record be kept of all addresses by members
of the Forest Service from Washington and the Districts, and that this record be filed
with the Office of Publication on the form provided for that purpose (129). Many
talks have been made of which there is no record. This causes trouble and much
extra work in making the annual summary of Service activities.

SERVICE ORDER.

SERVICE ORDER 2<>.

Dating: of Papers.

FEBRUARY 15, 1909.

As an additional safeguard against failure to date maps, statements, or memoranda
prepared in the Forest Service, tile clerks must see to it that no paper not dated is
filed. Every member of the Service should understand clearly that to send out or to
file any paper not dated will count against promotion.

SERVICE NOTES FOR MAY.

Forest officers, and will, therefore, be carefully read and kept on file
for reference.

OFFICE OF THE FORESTER.

LAW.

Claims: Cooperation with the General Land Office —

By letter dated April 14, 1909, the Secretary of the Interior amended paragraph 3
of his predecessor's letter, dated March 2, 1909. The paragraph as amended reads as
follows:

In all cases where it is alleged rights of way amounting to easements over lands
in National Forests are being used for purposes not authorized by statutes under
which the same have been granted, or where construction and use is not com-
menced within the statutory period, investigation will be made upon report
thereof to the Commissioner of the General Land Office for the purpose of ascer-
taining the correctness thereof and determining upon appropriate action.

District Foresters should, therefore, report to the Commissioner of the General Land
Office any facts which come to their knowledge and which show such misuser or non-
user of such rights of way. Copies of such reports should be sent to the Forester.

Legislation, Federal: Alaska Appeals —

Congress has provided that appeals, writs of error, and other cases from the Alaska
district court for the circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit shall be entered
and heard at San Francisco, Portland, or Seattle, as the trial court shall determine,
unless before the hearing the respective parties shall stipulate at which one of said
places the hearing shall be held.

Approved, January 11, 1909. (Public No. 188.)

Legislation, Federal: Cordova Bay Land Grant —

Congress has authorized the sale of not more than 2,000 acres of nonmineral public
land at the head of Cordova Bay, Alaska, at $2.50 per acre, to the Cordova Bay Harbor
Improvement and Town Site Company. Part of this land lies in the Chugach National
Forest.

Approved, February 6, 1909. (Public No. 214.)

Legislation, Federal: Calaveras Bigtree National Forest —

Congress has authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to obtain title for the United
States to certain lands in California containing the big trees scientifically known as
Sequoia washingtoniana, such lands to form the Calaveras Bigtree National Forest.

Approved, February 18, 1909. (Public No. 237.)

Legislation, Federal: Valdez, Marshall Pass and Northern B. B. —

Congress has extended the time to March 2, 1915, for the completion of the Valdez,
Marshall Pass and Northern Railroad to the Tanana River. The line of this road
lies partly in the Chugach National Forest.

Approved, March 2, 1909. (Public No. 296.)

(256)

Legislation, Federal: Indian Appropriation Act —

In the Indian appropriation act Congress has authorized the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs to investigate the condition of timber on Indian reservations, to advise
the Indians as to the proper care of their forests, and to conduct such timber opera-
tions and sales as may be deemed advisable. The Menominee Reservation is ex-
cepted.

The Secretary of the Interior is empowered to reserve from entry or sale all lands
in the Flathead Indian Reservation which are chiefly valuable for power or reservoir
sites, and to refer such cases to Congress.

Approved, March 3, 1909. (Public No. 316.)

Legislation, Federal: Amendments to Penal Laws —

Congress has amended the penal laws of the United States with reference to depre-
dations of, " boxing, " and setting fire to, the timber on public lands; failing to extin-
guish forest fires; breaking the fence or gate inclosing any reserved land, or driving
live stock upon such land; and injuring or removing government survey marks, or
interrupting surveys. It is provided that these amendments shall take effect January
1, 1910.

Approved, March 4, 1909. (Public No. 350.)

Claims Reports: Amendment to the Manual of Procedure —

The Manual of Procedure is hereby amended as follows:

Page 41, Claims. — Amend second paragraph so as to read: "Upon receipt of a
report from the supervisor, upon the appropriate form, of facts which show that the
claim is apparently held in good faith, that the laws under which the claim is asserted
have been complied with, and that its erroneous passage to patent would not be
prejudicial to the interests of the United States, a copy of the approved report, with
notation to that effect, will be referred by stamp to the Chief of Field Division of the
General Land Office. If the facts contained in the report show that the claimant has
not complied with the laws under which his claim is held, or that its erroneous passage
to patent would be prejudicial to the interests of the United States, an expert exam-
ination will be ordered, if necessary, and the Chief of Field Division notified. Such
expert examination shall always be considered necessary as to every mining claim
under such circumstances, and will always be made by a qualified mining man. If the
expert's and supervisor's reports are sufficient and together indicate the validity of
the claim, copies will be referred as above provided. If they indicate its invalidity,
copies will be referred in like manner, with notation suggesting that the Chief of
Field Division consider whether or not the claim is illegal."

Same page, Claims. — Amend third paragraph to read as follows: "If the Chief of
Field Division decides that any one of the supposed grounds of invalidity is insufficient
and the District Forester disagrees with such decision, the papers will be referred to
the Law Officer in Washington to consider whether further action is desirable."

Same page, Claims, last paragraph. — At the end of the third line above the caption
''Settlement," change the word "recommendation" to "action."

Timber Trespass: Indictments —

The United States grand jury for the district of Oregon has returned indictments as
follows: U. S. v. Tolle A. Spray, February 27, 1909, wilfully and maliciously setting
out fires and destroying timbe/in sec. 8, T. 8 S., R. 26 E., Umatilla National Forest,
on August 31, 1908.*

U. S. v. Charles Page, March 13, 1908, wilfully and maliciously setting out fires
and destroying timber in sec. 26, T. 33 S., R. 9 W., in the Siskiyou National Forest,
on August 25, 1908.

Regulations: Use Book Revision —

Upon recommendation, the Secretary of Agriculture has approved the following

regulation, similar to Regulation 30 of The Use Book of 1906, to take effect immediately:

When the destruction or use of National Forest products or resources will result

in benefit to the Government through actual protection or improvement of a

National Forest, the Forester may, without charge, allow such destruction or use

even to parties not otherwise entitled to a regular free use permit.

Act of June 11: Effect of Listing by Secretary —

When lands are opened to entry under the act of June 11, 1906, and are not entered,
they are thereafter subject to entry under that act at any time. With this exception
the status of such lands is unchanged, and they are subject to the laws governing the
National Forests. The exterior boundaries of a Forest are not changed by the listing
of lands upon the edge of the Forest.

258
OPERATION.

Form 964 not Necessary where Examination has been Made—

Since the report on Form 110, submitted in connection with June 11, 1906, applica-
tions, gives the information needed to pass upon the correctness of the permit issued
in such cases, it will not be necessary to accompany the permit by a report on Form 964,
as has been the practice heretofore, where the land has been examined and a report on
Form 110 submitted. The supervisor, in transmitting the permit, should attach a
letter-size sheet of paper calling attention to report 110 and giving the case designation,
so that the papers may be readily located.

Requisitions for Films and Maps —

Supervisors and District officers should see to it that requisitions are not made upon
the Property Clerk at Ogden for photographic films, photographic work, and maps.
Requisitions for this class of work should be sent to the Forester and should be made
very specific to avoid misunderstandings.

Form 98 for Report on Cooperative Work —

All members of the Service engaged on cooperative work are urged to be particu-
larly careful in reporting, on Form 98; the projects against which their salary and
expenses are to be charged, and in indicating the contributor, if payable from coopera-
tive funds. This report is frequently the only guide to payment from the proper
funds. It assists materially in keeping the necessary record when by agreement the
expenses are divided between Service and contributed funds. A revision of Form 98
and of Service cost keeping is under consideration. It is evident that some compre-
hensive plan of cost keeping is essential to successful and economical administration
.under the present organization. Until the new plan is inaugurated, however, the
use of the old Form 98 will be continued by men on any kind of cooperative work.

Information as to Second Entries —

To correct any possible misunderstanding of the instructions on page 42 of The Use
Book, Forest officers are informed that a second entry can not be made under the act
of February 8, 1908, unless the first entry was lost, forfeited, or abandoned prior to the
date of the enactment of that kw.

Reports on Agricultural Homesteads —

Reports on agricultural homesteads (Form 110) should not be submitted to the
District Forester in duplicate. A single copy is sufficient under the present organi-
zation .

Too Liberal Use of the Telephone —

It is felt that some supervisors and rangers use the telephone excessively, both in
the number of their calls and the length of their conversations*. The telephone should
never be used when a letter will answer the purpose. Forest officers should not neg-
lect to make a memorandum of telephone conArersations, as instructed on pages 185
and 186 of The Use Book.

Envelopes Addressed to District Foresters —

Standard size envelopes addressed to District Foresters may now be secured upon
requisition. Supervisors having envelopes addressed to the Forester, Washington,
D. 0., should return such to the Supply Depot, Ogden, Utah.

Keeping Rangers' Records in Proper Shape —

Considerable confusion has arisen when rangers were' transferred from one District
to another, or resigned .from the Service, by reason of .the records of the District not
being in such shape that the succeeding officer could inform himself fully of conditions
therein. All records and notes of District business should be considered as official,
and rangers should keep them in such shape that they can be turned over to a successor
as a part of the regular official records of the District.

Suggestions as to Keeping Memoranda —

It is frequently found by men from District offices going into the field that there
are matters not satisfactorily understood from correspondence which supervisors
desire to take up with members of the office in person. It is suggested that super-

259

visors make notes of such matters and keep them in the form of promise cards, so
they can be readily called to mind. Rangers should make notes in the same way.
A record of matters to be taken up with rangers should also be kept in supervisors'
offices.

Newspapers Recommended for Official Advertising —

The attention of supervisors is called to the necessity of making their recommen-
dations for advertising in the newspapers in their respective districts, in accordance
with instructions in the Manual of Procedure, page 36. Great care should be exer-
cised to give the exact names of the papers in which advertisements are to be placed.
The District Foresters in each District should be notified promptly of any modifica-
tions in the names of papers which occur after authorizations have been issued, in
order that the Secretary of Agriculture may be requested to amend the original letter
of authorization.

Necessity of Making Maps, Diagrams, etc., of Standard Size —

The new map-filing cases which have just been installed in the District offices are
fitted to receive drawings and plats of the following sizes:

Length.

Width.

1

Length .

Width.

48"

36", 24", 12".

21" 18"

(Atlas).

36"

30", 24", 18", 12".

18" 12"

30"

24", 18", 12".

12" 12"

9".

24" 18", 12".

10J" S".

No other sizes should be used, and preference should be given to the standard
atlas size, which is 18 by 21 inches. No departure should ever be made from this
standard when the map, diagram, drawing, or table is to be placed in the atlas.

Payment of Laborers on Form 143 —

Attention is called to section 19 of the Green Book. Time will be saved in preparing
accounts if supervisors will use Form 143, instead of Form A, in certifying to services
of temporary laborers.

Cooperation in Surveys of Mineral Claims —

Since in future surveys of mining claims within National Forests the Surveyor-
(ieiH-ral will inform the District Foresters of the name and address of the mineral
surveyor, name of the claimant, and approximate location of the claim with its name
and survey number, Forest officers on receipt of this notice should arrange, if possible,
r < > be present when the survey is made so that there can- be no mistake as to boundaries
or the expenditure and development work to which the Surveyor will certify.

Important Instructions in Carbons of Letters —

< 'arbons of letters sent to individuals, which indicate action to be taken by particular
members of the Service, are often transmitted to the member who is to take the action
instead of sending him a separate letter of instruction. Members of the District
offices and supervisors should consequently see to it that the contents of the carbons
of any letters received are carefully noted, since they may contain important instruc-
tions.

Amendment of Instructions in The Use Book —
The instructions in fine print on page 62 of The Use Book are amended as follows:

Notice of the receipt by the District Forester of each application under the
act of June 11, 1906, will be given the supervisor of the Forest concerned by
sending to him a township plat showing the description of the land applied for
and a copy of the District Forester's letter to the applicant acknowledging receipt
of his application. The District Forester will, at the time of acknowledging
receipt of each application, inform the applicant that if he is satisfied as to the
agricultural character of the land applied for, and wishes to begin cultivation
and occupation of it at once, application should 'be made to the supervisor in change
of the Forest for a free special use permit. Upon receipt of such request, the

260

supervisor should issue a free special-use permit to the applicant if he appears
to have the preference right of entry and the land is considered by the supervisor
to be chiefly valuable for agriculture, and is not adversely claimed under settle-
ment as above defined.

There should be inserted in each permit the appropriate one of the following-
paragraphs, depending upon whether the permit is issued before or after an exam-
ination of the land has been made:

"In the examination of the land under the act of June 11, 1906, to determine
its agricultural character, this permit shall not be considered; neither shall it
be construed to give the permittee any preference right of entry under that act.
This permit shall terminate when entry of the land is made under the act; but
if it is shown that the permittee has not the preference right of entry, the listing
of the land for opening to entry will be deferred to protect growing crops."

"This permit shall not be construed to give the permittee any preference right
c-f entry under the act of June 11, 1906, and shall terminate when entry of the
land is made under that act."

SILVICULTURE.

Free Use of Timber by Small Miners —

In granting free use permits Forest officers should make every effort to provide,
without unfairness to other interests entitled to consideration and without injury to
the Forest, that no prospector or miner working for the preliminary development or
exploration of his claim shall be denied the free use of timber needed for these pur-
poses if there is not upon the claim a sufficient amount of timber for such uses. Care
should also be taken to avoid the marking, for use under a free use permit, of any
timber which can not be used by a prospector, or miner, or any other small user, to
whom a free use permit is issued. Large users of special material who operate or
can operate sawmills may properly be required to take with such special material
other merchantable timber which it is necessary to remove for the future productive-
ness of the Forest, or to avoid rendering the remaining timber on the area unmer-
chantable. Very few cases will arise which will make the enforcement of this restric-
tion necessary as to free use permittees.

Disposition of Copies of Form 861 —

There is a conflict between the Manual, page 62, "Class A and Unadvertised Class B
Sales," and the instructions on the back of the last edition of Form 861. Hereafter,. in
conformity with the idea expressed in the Manual, a Forest officer who has been author-
ized by his supervisor to make Class A sales will send to the supervisor two copies of
Form 861 for each one issuecl . The supervisor will at once initial and forward one copy
to the District Forester and place the other copy in his file. The ranger should keep a
fourth copy for his own records.

Supervisors' Libraries —

Supervisors' libraries will continue to be handled by the Washington office, as before
the reorganization. Whenever a supervisor desires to secure a book for his library, he
should make a requisition for it on the Washington office. This should first be sent to
the District Forester, who will either approve or disapprove it, and then forward it to
Washington. Thereafter the matter will be handled by the Washington office, which
will correspond directly with the supervisor in regard to the matter. Copies of such
correspondence will be sent to the District Forester for his information. In case the
Washington office does not agree with the District Forester's recommendations, the
matter will be taken up directly with the District Forester and not with the supervisor,
and continued until some agreement has been reached .

Hereafter to be Designated as Nurseries —

In accordance with the filing system used in the District offices, the term "Planting
Station" should be changed to the term "Nursery"; for example, "Halsey Planting
Station" should hereafter be designated as "Halsey Nursery."

Form for Extension of Time —

The form of application for extension of time, given on page 16 of the Field Program
for December, 1907, is amended as follows: In the second paragraph the words "re-
moved from the National Forest" should be canceled and the word "cut" inserted

261

in their place; so that this portion of the paragraph will read, ''to pay for all timber
not cut during the time specified in said contract at the rate of," etc. Except in
very unusual cases, it is the, intention to charge an increased rate for only that timber
still uncut, and not for any timber which the purchaser has cut but has not removed
from the Forest.

Keeping Track of Expiration of Sales —

The attention of supervisors is called to the fact that in Class A and unadvertised
Class B sales, as well as in all other sales, the closing date should be kept on a promise
card, so that when the time expires the closing of the sale or the extension of the time,
as the case may be, shall be initiated by the supervisor. Attention to this will mate-
rially reduce the amount of routine correspondence between the District offices and
supervisors.

GRAZING.

Numbering Amended and Supplemental Permits —

In order that the same stock may not be counted twice against the- Secretary's
authorization or in the semiannual reports, a change has been made in the instructions
of the December (1908) Field Program. Hereafter all amended permits correcting
errors, allowing an extension of the grazing period, or for stock retained after permit
for a portion of the stock has been issued to a purchaser, will be given the same serial
number as the original, omitting the addition of the letters a, b, etc. The necessary
correction for an amended permit will be made on the original card; but when a sup-
plemental permit is issued bearing the same serial number as the original with the addi-
tion of the letters a, b, etc., a new card will be written for the additional number of
stock.

Acreage to be Shown in Regulation 65 Permits —

A number of permits are being received under Regulation 65 which do not show
acreage. It is especially important that the acreage be given in all permits issued
under this regulation, both where no waiver is made and where the stock is confined
to the private lands. The information is necessary for use in the annual grazing
reports to the Forester.

Applications of New Beginners—-
The applications of new beginners may be approved for the full protective limit,
when such action does not necessitate a reduction in the number of stock allowed
other users; but when the range is fully occupied applications of new beginners
should not be approved for more than one-half the protective limit number. The
total number of stock allowed all new beginners in any one year must not exceed 3
per cent of the total allowance. The permits allowed all new beginners must not in
any case cause an annual reduction of more than 10 per cent on the permit of any
old user.

When the average number of stock grazed under each permit is less than the protec-
tive limit, the applications of new beginners should not be approved for more than
one-fourth the protective limit, and only with the understanding that the stock will be
run in connection with cultivated lands and fed during the winter. When the average
number of stock grazed under each permit is 20 per cent below the protective limit,
no applications from new beginners will be approved, unless the conditions warrant
a reduction of the protective limit.

Applicants will be classified in accordance with the total number of stock owned,
instead of the number for which permit is desired. The number which air applicant
is allowed to graze will be determined upon the merits of each case. The applications
of new beginners who are in Class "B" may be approved for the number of stock
allowed other new beginners, when the circumstances justify it.
Restrictions in Issuance of Crossing Permits —

Crossing permits will not be issued allowing stock to cross a National Forest prior to
the opening of the grazing season for the class of stock concerned, except when the
stock is to be confined to a regularly established driveway.

Inclusive dates between which the crossing privilege may be exercised should be
included in the permit, which should be made effective for a period sufficient to pro-
vide against unavoidable delay in its use.

Permits under Regulation 66, allowing stock to cross a National Forest from one
point to another outside its limits, or permits under Regulation 65, allowing stock to

262

reach private lands within the limits of a National Forest, may be issued either to the
owner or the person in charge of the stock; but permits allowing stock to be grazed
upon a National Forest, in exchange for the use of private lands, will be issued only
to the owner of the stock. No permits will be required for stock which is to be driven
along a public highway.

Renewal of Permits to Purchasers of Stock —

In case a permittee shall sell the stock, which is being grazed under permit, to a
purchaser who wishes to continue grazing it on the National Forest, upon presentation
to the supervisor of evidence that the sale is bona fide, the permit will be canceled
and a new permit will be issued to the purchaser, without cost, for the remainder of
the grazing period allowed in the original permit. The issuance of a permit under
the.re circumstance.? does not carry with it any guaranty that a renewal will be allowed
for the number of stock the original permittee might have been entitled to graze. It
is granted with the understanding that in subsequent permit allotments the purchaser
will be considered solely upon the merits of his case.

The purchase of stock by a person not otherwise entitled to consideration will not
entitle the purchaser to share in the grazing privileges during the following year j but
when the purchaser is a resident ranch owner a renewal of the permit may be allowed
for not to exceed 80 per cent of the number of stock covered by the original permit.
When both the stock and the ranches used in connection with it are purchased,* an
equitable share of the grazing may be allowed the new owner after such sliding-scale
reduction has been made as would have been required of the original permittee. The
purchase of stock from an owner who has used the range less than three years will not
entitle the purchaser to any preference in renewal of the permit.

The preference given on account of prior use of the range is a personal privilege and
is not transferable. In all cases where the renewal of a permit is allowed on account
of the purchase of stock, a waiver to the United States of all claims to a renewal of the
permit for the number of stock sold should be signed by the original permittee arid
filed with the supervisor.

All grazing permits issued on account of the purchase of stock will be subject to the
maximum limit restrictions, after the expiration of the ensuing permit period. No
person, partnership, or corporation will be allowed a renewal of permit for stock pur-
chased on a number in excess of the maximum limit established by the District
Forester.

Sliding- Scale Reductions —

Hereafter all sliding-scale reductions will be based upon the number of stock
grazed under permit during the previous year. The full reduction will be made on
the permits of all applicants who either do not own improved ranch property or are
nonresident ranch owners and winter their stock upon the open range. Resident
ranch owners who winter their stock upon the adjoining open range, regular users
who purchase winter feed for their stock from resident ranch owners, and nonresident
ranch owners whose stock is fed during the winter upon the products of their lands
need only be reduced 75 per cent of the regular sliding scale. Persons owning and
residing upon improved ranches, who feed their stock during the winter upon the
products of their lands, need only be reduced 50 per cent of the regular sliding scale.

SERVICE ORDER.

SERVICE ORDER 27.

Property Custody and Accountability.

[Supersedes sections 141 to 170, inclusive, of the Green Book, and Service Orders
15 and 25.]

APRIL 1, 1909.

The Green Book, sections 141 to 170, inclusive, is hereby amended
by substituting sections 141 to 154, inclusive, as follows:

Sec. 141. Responsibility. — Each member of the Service who
receives nonexpendable property will be required to receipt for it
and will assume responsibility for its proper care and protection.
A member will be relieved of responsibility by a transfer or by an
approved certificate of condemnation or loss, and will reimburse
the United States for the value of any property for which he is
responsible and for which he has not accounted.

Sec. 142. Record.— A record will be kept by the Property
Auditor of all the nonexpendable property of the Forest Service.
This record will be supported by receipts signed by the members
of the Service having custody of the property.

Sec. 143. Requisitions. — Supplies and equipment may be
procured upon requisition on the Property Clerk. (See Form 258,
Index of Standard Forms, and Form 261, List of Standard Articles
ofjEquipment and Supplies.)

^Requisitions must be made in duplicate on Form 668. One copy
will be sent to the Property Clerk without a letter of transmittal,
unless an explanation is necessary.

On March 1 and September 1 of each year supervisors, Chiefs of
Maintenance, and men in charge of field stations will make requi-
sitions for the equipment, stationery, office supplies, and printed
forms required by their respective offices for the ensuing six
months. Each sheet will be marked "Semiannual requisition."
Requisitions for maps and photographic or drafting work required
in the districts should be made to the District Forester.

Sec. 144. Shortage or Delay.— Shipments will be carefully
examined and compared with Form 939, and the consignor imme-
diately informed of any discrepancies. Delays will be promptly
reported.

Sec. 145. Methods of Shipment. — Supplies will be sent by
mail under frank when practicable. Large shipments will be

(263)

264

made on Department bills of lading, by freight, but may be made
by express when necessary. The headquarters of some supervisors
are located in towns remote from the railroad, but reached by stage
lines with which express companies have no connection. Ship-
ments to these points will be prepaid only to the nearest or most
convenient station. When this is done, notation of the fact will
be made on Form 939 and on the package. In such cases the stage
charges only should be paid by the consignee, for which a receipt
showing rate and weight must be taken and submitted in the
monthly reimbursement account. When the payment of charges
is demanded on shipments marked " Prepaid in full to destina-
tion," supervisors, before making payment, should request definite
information from the consignor.

Sec. 146. Property Procured by Purchase.^A member (not
a purchasing agent) making a purchase of nonexpendable property
under a letter of authorization will prepare and sign as a receipt
two copies of Form 939. He will send one copy, with the voucher
covering the purchase, to the District Fiscal Agent and send the
other copy to the Property Auditor. This is required whether the
settlement is on Form 4 or Form A voucher. The Property Auditor,
upon receiving the copy from the District Fiscal Agent, will indorse
upon the copy received from the member making the purchase a
certificate that the articles have been charged, and return it to
the member. Reimbursement vouchers, Form 4, containing non-
expendable property will not be paid unless accompanied by
Form 939.

A list of expendable articles will be furnished by the Property
Auditor.

A purchasing agent making a purchase of nonexpendable prop-
erty under a letter of authorization will prepare, by carbon dupli-
cation, two copies of purchase order, Form 942, and two copies of
Form 939. He will keep one copy of the Form 942, sign and send
the other copy to the dealer, with a properly prepared Form A
voucher, to be signed by the dealer and returned to him. When
necessary, he will send the dealer a Department bill of lading with
the order and voucher. He will initial the Form A voucher re-
turned by the dealer and send it to the member to whom the
property is to be charged. At the same time the order is sent to
the dealer, the Purchasing Agent will send one copy of the Form
939 to the member, and the other copy to the Property Auditor.

The member, upon receipt of the property, will enter in the spaces
provided on the copy of the Form 939 received from the Purchasing
Agent, the condition of the property and the date of its receipt.
He will sign the Form 939 as a receipt and the Form A voucher
and send them to the District Fiscal Agent.

When the voucher is paid the District Fiscal Agent will enter
the number of the paid voucher on the Form 939 and send it to the
Property Auditor.

265

The Property Auditor will charge the member on his records, and
send him the copy of the Form 939 received from the Purchasing
Agent with a certificate indorsed thereon that the property has been
charged to him.

Sec. 147. Property Procured by Transfer. — A Property Clerk
transferring expendable property to a CMef of Maintenance or a
supervisor will prepare and sign two copies of Form 939. He will
keep one copy and send the other to the Chief of Maintenance or
the supervisor, to whom the property is transferred.

Transfers of nonexpendable property between members of the
Service, except as provided in section 148, will be made in accord-
ance with the following procedure:

When nonexpendable property is issued by the Property Clerk
to a supervisor, three copies of Form 939 will be prepared and signed
by the Property Clerk as invoices. He will send two copies to the
Property Auditor and the third to the supervisor.

The supervisor, upon receipt of the property, will enter in the
spaces provided on the Form 939 received from the Property Clerk,
the condition of the property and the date of receipt, will sign it as
a receipt, and send it to the Property Auditor.

The Property Auditor, upon receiving the Form 939 from the
supervisor, will credit the Property Clerk and charge the super-
visor with the property transferred. He will indorse upon the two
corresponding forms 939 received from the Property Clerk, a cer-
tificate of the transfer, and send one to the Property Clerk and the
other to the supervisor.

The Property Clerk retains responsibility for the property trans-
ferred until the supervisor's receipt is received by the Property
Auditor.

When nonexpendable property is received in the absence of the
supervisor, the Form 939 will be signed by the acting supervisor in
the following form:

"JOHN JONES, Supervisor.
By WILLIAM SMITH, Acting Supervisor ."

This procedure will be followed by other members in charge of
executive offices or field stations.

Form 939 for property transferred to a member as an individual,
and not as an officer in charge, must be signed by him.

When nonexpendable property is furnished for temporary use by
a custodian to another member a receipt will be taken, but the
transaction will not be reported to the Property Auditor.

Sec. 148. Property Accounting on the National Forests. —
Supervisor's Record. — The supervisor will keep two card records on
Form 331. . One record will be designated "Forest Accountabil-
ity," and in it will be recorded all the nonexpendable articles for
which the supervisor is accountable. The cards will be filed
alphabetically by names of articles.

266

The other record will be designated "Individual Accounta-
bility," and in it will be kept an individual record of all nonex-
pendable articles issued to subordinates and of those kept on hand
by the supervisor for distribution. The cards will be filed alpha-
betically under the name of the individual.

The aggregate number of articles in each class in the Individual
Accountability record must equal the number of articles on the
card for the corresponding class in the Forest Accountability
record.

Each transaction which affects the sum total of property on a
Forest, whether by purchase, transfer, or certificate of loss or sale,
will be immediately entered in the Forest Accountability record.

Transactions which do not affect the sum total, such as a transfer
between a supervisor and a ranger, or between rangers, will be
recorded in the Individual Accountability record. The date of
each transaction affecting Forest Accountability, but no voucher
number, will be entered on the card record (Form 331).

When property is issued by a supervisor to a subordinate the super-
visor will prepare and sign two copies of notebook Form 874-16
and send them to the subordinate to whom the property is issued.
The subordinate will, upon receipt of the articles, sign both copies,
return one to the supervisor and keep the other.

When property is transferred by one ranger to another, the one
making the transfer will prepare and sign three copies of the note-
book Form 874-16 and send one of them to the ranger to whom the
property is transferred and send the other two copies to the super-
visor. The ranger to whom the property is transferred will, upon
its receipt, sign the Form 874-16 and send it to the supervisor.
Upon receiving the Form 874-16 signed by both rangers, the super-
visor will sign the two copies received from the ranger making the
transfer and send one of them to each of the rangers concerned.

When property is issued by rangers to other employees, for temporary
use, a receipt will be taken on Form 874-16, but the transaction
will not be reported to the supervisor.

The same procedure will be followed when nonexpendable prop-
erty is furnished for temporary use by other custodians to other
members of the Service.

Ranger's Property Return. — Periodically the supervisor will re-
quire each ranger to submit in duplicate on Form 874-16 a list of the
property for which he is accountable to the supervisor. As soon
as the correctness of the list is established both copies will be
signed by the supervisor, who will keep one and return the other
to the ranger, when all previous Forms 874-16 can be destroyed.

Sec. 149. Loss and Abandonment. — Property lost will be
reported to the District Forester on Form 858 in duplicate, when
the member charged with it is satisfied that it can not be recovered.
When property for which the supervisor is accountable is lost by
any other member the certificate will be signed by the member.

267

The occurrence must be explained in sufficient detail to show
beyond reasonable doubt that the loss was not due to fault or neg-
ligence, and that every effort toward recovery was made. After
the certificate is approved by the supervisor both copies will be
sent to the District Forester.

The District Forester will either relieve the member from, or
charge him with, responsibility for the loss, and will send both
copies of the Form 858 to the Property Auditor.

When the member is relieved from responsibility for the loss,
the Property Auditor will credit him and will indorse on one of the
Forms 858, received from the District Forester, a certificate that
the member has been credited, and send the form to the member.

When the member is charged with responsibility for the loss of
property, the Property Auditor will enter upon the Form 858 the
cost value of the property. He will prepare a letter of transmittal
(Form 861) to the proper depository and send one copy of the Form
858 and the Form 861 to the member, who will remit the value of
the property to the designated depository.

Upon receipt from the District Fiscal Agent of the certificate of
deposit (Form 26) in duplicate, the Property Auditor will credit
the member and send him one copy of the Form 26 with an indorse-
ment thereon that he has been credited.

Report of lost property will not be made on the same Form 858
with report of unserviceable property.

Worn and damaged property and inexpensive camp equipment
in possession of field parties may be abandoned in the field, when
it is impracticable to return it for condemnation as prescribed in
section 150. An explicit statement of the date, cause, and location
of an abandonment must be forwarded immediately to the District
Forester on Form 858 in duplicate. The action to be taken will
then follow the procedure when property has been lost.

Sec. 150. Unserviceable Property. — Nonexpendable prop-
erty worn out or damaged beyond repair, which has no sale value,
will be retained until it can be inspected and condemned by an
authorized inspector. A certificate will be prepared and signed by
the supervisor on Form 858, in duplicate, to which the inspector
will certify that the property has been inspected, condemned, and
destroyed. Both copies of the certificate (Form 858) will be sub-
mitted for approval to the District Forester. The copies will then
be sent to the Property Auditor, who will credit the member and
inform him of the action taken by stamped notation on one copy of
the certificate.

Nonexpendable property which is worn out or damaged beyond
repair, or which is of no further use to the Service, but which has a
sale value, will be retained until it can be inspected, condemned,
and its sale authorized. Property must not be sold except by
written authority (Form 217) of the Forester, a General Inspector,
a District Forester, an Assistant District Forester, or a Chief or

268

Assistant Chief of Office. A certificate of condemnation and sale
will be prepared by the supervisor on Form 217, in duplicate.
The sale of the property will be advertised by notifying interested
parties by letter and by posting notices (Form 259) in post-offices,
telegraph offices, and other public places. No expense will be
allowed for advertising, except when the value of the property to
be sold clearly justifies it, and then only by written authority of the
Secretary of Agriculture. When the property is sold, the member
to whom the authority was granted will pay all necessary expenses,
such as auctioneer's fees, drayage, and purchase of money order,
and will remit the net proceeds by postal money order to the Dis-
trict depository, accompanied by a letter of transmittal (Form 861).
He will send both copies of the Form 217 to the District Forester.
When the sale is approved by the District Forester he will send
both copies of the Form 217 to the Property Auditor who, upon
receiving the District Fiscal Agent's Certificate of Deposit (Form
26) in duplicate, will credit the member, and inform him of the
action taken by stamped notation on one copy of the Form 217, to
which he will attach one copy of the Form 26.

Sec. 151. Annual Property Return. — Annually on January 1
a property return will be prepared on Form 330, in duplicate, by
every custodian. On this return will be entered the articles on
hand as shown on the last return, the articles received by transfer
or purchase since the last return, the articles disposed of by trans-
fer, by certificate of loss, or of sale, and the balance on hand on the
date of the return. Both copies will be signed and sent to the
Property Auditor. As soon as the correctness of the return is estab-
lished both copies will be signed by the Property Auditor, who will
keep one and return the other to the custodian.

Sec. 152. Property Inspection. — Periodically an inspection
will be made of the property in the hands of custodians. When
the inspection is made the custodian will prepare and submit to
the officer making the inspection a property return (Form 330) in
duplicate, in the manner prescribed in section 151. The inspec-
tor will then check the property on hand against the return. If
the property on hand agrees with the return, he will certify to the
fact on the return and send both copies to the Property Auditor.
If any discrepancies are found the inspector will make no changes
in the return, but will send it to the Property Auditor, with a
letter stating the discrepancies. The inspector will also submit
to the District Forester a report on the condition and sufficiency
of the equipment and supplies on hand.

Sec. 153. Storage. — Property charged to members of field
parties, which is no longer needed and which can not be advan-
tageously returned to the Property Clerk, will be placed in the
care of the most accessible Forest Officer, and a memorandum
receipt taken on Form 874-16. When this is not practicable the
property may be placed in storage, but a letter of authorization

269

will be obtained from the District Forester to cover the expense.
Storage fees may be paid by the member charged with the prop-
erty and the receipt of the storage company submitted in his
