The road and trail builders who ire developing the national orest high way and trail system are doing a fine serve holdings from the wilderness class. In the tatermountaln region It is particularly evident that the na tional forest road work is contrlbut ing toward economic advancement well as making more valuable the forest areas. , When the chief forester of the U. 8. forest service. Major R. Y. Stuart, made his last annual report, the for est service had constructed 14,822 6 miles of road and 39.684 miles of trails at an investment of This extensive mileage is to De ioi ma in tne 150 national forests. which a.e in twenty-fou- r states, Alaska and Porto Rico. These na tional forests contain more than 184.000,000 acres. Most of the na tional forests, especially the heavily timbered and scenic ones, are in the west. The national forest road program to date, according to Major Stuart's report, has given the intermountain region 4124.1 miles of roads, 14.761.6 miles of trails at a cost of $20,839, 634.07. The mileage is divided among the intermountain states in the fol lowing order: Idaho, 1776.2 miles of road and 8847.0 miles of trails' at a cost of $12,402,699.40. Idaho ranks first among the states In mileage of national forest trails and. second tn mileage of forest roads: Utah, 990.2 miles of roads and 3152.7 miles of trails, which represent an Investment of $3,496,378.31: Wyom ing, 929.6 miles of roads and 2004.5 miles of trails, costing $338681.92 Nevada, 428.1 miles of roads and 778.5 miles of trails, costing $1,263, 473.94. The budget for the inter mountain region for the fiscal year 1929, contained $2,084,145.17 for for est roads and trails, apportioned among the states as follows: Idaho, tiffs ,v ; 1- The American Falls dam on the Snake river at American Falls. Idaho, is the second largest in America, from the standpoint of storage capacity. This large reservoir is exceeded only in New by the Elephant Butte dam Mexico in point of sire. ' The American Falls project, the largest Carey act unit In America, is practically new. The dam is more than a mile long; cost $3,000,000 to erect and the work required more than two years to complete. Artificial Lake Mas 125 Miles Shore Line. The reservoir covers 88 square miles. The artificial lake created by the damming of the waters of the Snake has 12S miles of shore line. American Fails Is 303 miles from Salt Lake and is mldvay between the Yellowstone and Evergreen highways, west of Pocatello. The city Is a thriving community which has been enriched by the Immense irrigation project created by the dam.

The national forests of the nation, particularly those in the west, con tain some of the heaviest timbered and science land on the continent. Approximately 66,000,000 acres of the axe produce valuable timber and the annual lumber cut amounts to more than 1.000,000,000 board feet Most of the watersheds are crucial to the water supply of cities, towns and Ir ngawa laruung umuitie. j.ue national forest annual timber cut has a value of close to $3,000,000.

Because of their natural attractiveness, the national forests are becoming increasingly popular with summer tourists and vacationists. The wild life population of the forests 'as shown by the latest estimate Is 700386 deer, 74.179 elk, 51,017 black or brown bear, 3380 grizzly bear, 7665 antelope. 35 caribou, 7950 moose, 19,334 mountain goats, 13251 mountain sheep and 117.027 beaver. In many parts of the west the national parks are completely or nearly surrounded by national forest lands which means that good forest roads are necessary for the public to enjoy the parks. The great value of the road and trail system, however, has been in and administering the protecting forests. "A multitude of concrete casfs could be cited in which roads and trails have been the direct means of saving, sometimes in a single year, more than they cost to build." says Chief Forester Stuart In the days before the forests were iraveneu vy biaju lusua, luresi iires brought heavy losses. Then it required days, often weeks, to move men and fire fighting equipment to the scene of action. As the crews were cutting, their way through the wilderness the fire was eating valuable timber at the rate of millions of board feet a day. Considerable Work Remains Despite Progress. Although excellent progress has been made in building a suitable forest road and trail system, considerable yet remains to be done. The forest service engineers have mapped out a system covering all roads and trails which, on the basis of present knowledge, will be required within the next ten years. In his last report, Major Stuart estimated that to complete the system on this basis $207319.507 would 4e required. Of this. $151,698393 will be for forest highways. $50,330.-29- 2 for forest development roads and $5340322 for forest trails. The outlined system embraces 15372 miles of forest highways, 39385 miles of forest development roads and miles of trails. Of this mileage 5680 miles of forest highways, 13.154 miles of forest development roads and 10.036 miles of trails are of satisfactory standard, while 1305 miles of forest highways. 11314 miles of forest development roads and miles of trails are yet to be con structed.
