DEVELOPMENT
OF FORESTS
FOR PLEASURE
Announcement is made from the lo
cal office of the forest service that
the demands created by the large
amount of tourist travel in the moun
tains have resulted in the creation of
a separate organization for the effi
cient administration of this activity.
The functions of the new office are
to promote the development and use
- of the recreational resources of the
national forests, both by the transient
camper and the summer home resi
dent. Large numbers of camp
grounds will be carefully laid out by
experienced men and improved as to
water supply, sanitation, construction
of fireplaces, picnic tables, roads,
archways and trails into the adjacent
forests. Summer home sites are in
increasing demand in the national for
ests. and many localities will be care
fully laid out on the ground with due
regard to their natural advantages and
to their desirability as to building
sites for the erection of summer
homes. National forest roads and
trails will be located to take advan
tage of the natural beauty of the sur
roundings and to lead the taveler to
prominent scenic areas. Pamphlets
of valuable information to the camper,
similar to the recent publication which
has been issued—“Vacation Land:
The National Forests in Oregon”—
will be published.
This work for the states of Oregon
and Washington will be directed from
Portland. Five of the more experi
enced men have been assigned to it—
C. J. Buck, assistant district forester;
A. G. Jackson, recreational informa
tion; F. W. Cleator, surveys and plans
for summer home sites and larger
camp grounds; W. G. Paeth, recrea
tion pamphlets and plans for develop
ment of Columbia Gorge region; and
T. M. Talbott, recreational information
and lectures. The new office finds a
large field for its activities. Camp
ground work on which the forest serv
ice is engaged appears to have proved
not only immensely popular with the
traveling public in rendering more en
joyable the visits to the forests of
thousands of vacationists, but to have
partly paid for itself in the decreased
danger from forest fires.
Announcement is made that the for
est service stands ready in recrea
tional work to co-operate with all
agencies interested in developing the
recreational out-of-doors movement
and increased tourist travel, and will
furnish information on all phases of
recreational work in the national for
ests.
GOVERNMENT CAN NOT
BE SUED IN COURT
United States District Attorney
Munley has received word that Judge
C. E. Bunnell, holding court at An
chorage, has sustained the demurrer
of the government in the case brought
by P. R. Strong against the Alaskan
engineering commission, claiming
$5,000 as alleged damages sustained
while working for the commission.
The action is one in court, and was
decided on the same principles of law
ms those in the case of Frank Ballaine
against the Alaska Northern railway,
which was decided by the United
States circuit court of appeals of San
Francisco, to the effect that the gov
ernment can not be sued in tort, as
any claim for damages must be ad
judicated and allowed by congres
sional action alone.
That the United States attorney’s
contention in the above case was
founded on sound principles of law
is evidenced by the decision of these
courts, and effectually sets at rest any
future actions for damages against
the government.
FORMER MILLIONAIRE
GOES TO P00RH0USE
DANSVILLE, N. Y., Nov. 18 (by As
sociated Press).—Alonzo J. White
man, former millionaire, state sena
tor of Minnesota, and mayor of Du
luth, whose business and political re
verses more than twenty-five years ago
led to his entry upon a swindling ca
reer which made him known to the
police of the entire country, has come
back to his old home town, Dansville,
a broken-down “old man” of 58, to end
his days in the county almshouse. Al
though sentenced to prison terms ag
gregating fifty years, he has served
only two sentences, a brief one in Chi
cago and one of five years in this
state.
After graduating from college and
a law school in New York state, he
went West to work in a bank and look
after his father’s lumber interests in
Minnesota. Successful in politics, in
1888 he made one of the speeches sec
onding the nomination of Grover
Cleveland for the presidency.
Whiteman was a candidate for con
gress in Minnesota, but was defeated.
He Ihen went to Chicago, and in 1890
bought a seat on the Board of Trade,
where speculation in wheat and lum
ber cost him his fortune. Then
Whiteman turned to the race tracks,
where he forged a check on a book
maker and counterfeited pool tickets,
the first steps in what was to prove
a long career of crime.
