$96,477.70; followed closely by he
Whitman with $92,406.83, and the

gass standing at the head with $9,623,
followed by the Chugach with $2,398.

with $1,230.07.
With the exception of water power,
from which only a small percentage
of the annual receipts in the district
come, all classes of National Forest
business show substantial gains over
* 1918.
Twenty-five per cent of the receipts
from National Forest business goes to
the road and school funds of the coun
ties in which the forests are located.
Ten per cent additional must be used
in road and trail work within the
forests.
The total receipts from alll the
National Forests of the country for
1919 was $4,358,414.86, which is $783,
484.79 more than the receipts for
-918.
