will be the first cement plant ever 

 built by a city, and the second one 

 built at public expense. The other 

 publicly-owned plant is supplying ce- 

 ment for the great Roosevelt Dam, 

 some miles from Phoenix, Ariz., and 

 was built by the U. S. Reclamation 

 Service. 



In Dr. Herman von 

 Utilize Schrenk's address before 



"^C^^r^" the New England Rail- 

 road Club at Boston, he 

 remarked that planting and the select- 

 ive operation of forest tracts " would 

 naturally remain in tl;ie hands of a 

 few people ; but all are interested in 

 the economical utilization of what- 

 ever wood is cut. There are two dif- 

 ferent phases of this ; one is the use of 

 each species of wood for the purposes 

 to which it is best adapted, and the 

 other is making a better adaptation of 

 sizes of logs to the uses for which 

 they are destined. 



It is on just such elements of right 

 use as this, no doubt, that Dr. Von 

 Schrenk has been engaged to advise 

 the Southern cypress manufacturers, 

 as noted in our September issue. 



Wish to Those on the ground 



Share Their ]^now the value of the 

 Blessings National Forest system^ 



The citizens of Utah who are connect- 

 ed with the Manti Forest, knowing 

 the benefits to their own region, are 

 desirous that the same be extended to 

 the people of the East, and have so ex- 

 pressed themselves in the following 

 resolutions, adopted a short time since : 



^^Iaxti Natioxal Forest, 



Ephraim, Utah. 



We, the officers of the Manti Na- 

 tional Forest in Annual Officers' 

 Meeting assembled, observe and re- 

 solve as follows : 



Whereas, we have observed that an 

 efifort is being made to create a Na- 

 tional Forest within the Appalachian 

 and White Mountains ; and 



Whereas, from our experience and 

 personal observation, we believe that 



immeasurable benefits are derived 

 from a or any National Forest, as 

 administered by the Bureau of For- 

 estry ; and 



Wliereas, we are confident of the 

 good that will be done not only to the 

 people adjacent but to the people 

 throughout the country at large by the 

 creation of such Forests ; 



Therefore Be It Resohed, That we 

 the officers of the Manti National For- 

 est commend the efforts being made to 

 accomplish this end, that we pledge 

 ourselves individually and collectively 

 to this effort, and that we will appeal 

 to all people to employ every honor- 

 able measure to insure the creation of 

 these Forests by the United States; 

 and be it further 



Resolved, That copies of this resolu- 

 tion be sent to the Hon. Forester, Gif- 

 ford Pinchot, and to Senators Reed 

 Smoot and George Sutherland, and 

 to Congressman Joseph Howell, and 

 Inspector R. E. Benedict.

 The club women are also studying 

 the laws of Vermont, in regard to the 

 care of its forests and the protection of
