Jorgensen, Carole J., M.S., June 1979 Wildlife Biology Bear-livestook Interactions, Targhee National Forest ( 162 pp) Director: Charles J. Jonkel Black bear (Ursus americanus), grizzly bear (_U. arctos), and domestic sheep interactions and competition were investigated using radio telemetry on the Targhee National Forest in Idaho and Wyoming during 1976 and 1977 to better determine the role of bears within Multiple Use (Multiple Use Act, 1964) areas. Black and grizzly bear intra— and interspecific relationships were discussed in terms of habitat utilization and food habits. Radio-monitored movements of seven black bears and one grizzly were compared to movements of sheep herds on selected USFS sheep allotments to investigate bear behavior near sheep herds and determine the extent of competition and inter­ specific conflicts. Competition between bears and sheep occurred when they utilized the same plants (primarily grasses and forbs) that were limited by either abundance or seasonal availability. Additional conflict, resulting in losses of sheep to bear predation and high bear mortality from real or alleged predation, occurred during concurrent habitat use by bears and sheep. Bear predation was discussed in detail. Areas and seasons of expected bear—sheep interaction were delineated. Management to possibly alleviate some bear-sheep conflict was discussed. 11 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank God ! I would like to express my gratitude to Drs. Bart O'Gara and Lee Eddleman for serving on my committee and for providing me with expert advice and encouragement. I am especially grateful to my major advisor, Dr. Charles Jonkel, for his extraordinary patience, encouragement, and financial and technical assistance. I also wish to thank Dr. Sara Jane Johnson and the Targhee National Forest for initia­ ting the study and for financial assistance. This study would not have been possible without the additional assistance from the Border Grizzly Groject, headed by Charles Jonkel; Dick Knight and the Inter-agency Grizzly Bear Study Team; Rick Phillips and Rich Wonnecot of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; as well as the Idaho Fish and Game and Wyoming Game and Fish departments. Appre­ ciation is extended to the permittees on the study area— especially Ross and Sam Davis and their herders for their cooperation. Not to be forgotten are; Roy Hugie for technical and academic assistance, John Beecham for analytical and trapping expertise, and Coy Miller for his engineering wizardry. A special thanks to Maurice Hornocker for his good faith and effective persuasion and to the many people who provided me with field assistance and data collection. Many thanks to Ruthann Brier for her patience and expertise in typing this manuscript. Finally, acknowledgements to my mother, Evelyn Jorgensen, who never waivered in her belief in me. iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

By Thomas Ashe, esq. ... http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.3028a Library of Congress IT is universally acknowledged, that no description of writing comprehends so much amusement and entertainment as well written accounts of voyages and travels, especially in countries little known. If the voyages of a Cook and his followers, exploratory of the South Sea Islands, and the travels of a Bruce, or a Park, in the interior regions of Africa, have merited and obtained celebrity, the work now presented to the public cannot but claim a similar merit. The western part of America, become interesting in every point of view, has been little known, and misrepresented by the few writers on the subject, led by motives of interest or traffic, and has not heretofore been exhibited in a satisfactory manner.

  • Cumulative Watershed Effects of Fuel Management in the Western United States Elliot, William J.; Miller, Ina Sue; Audin, Lisa
    United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-231 January 2010 Cumulative Watershed Effects of Fuel Management in the Western United States Elliot, William J.; Miller, Ina Sue; Audin, Lisa. Eds. 2010. Cumulative watershed effects of fuel management in the western United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-231. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 299 p. ABSTRACT Fire suppression in the last century has resulted in forests with excessive amounts of biomass, leading to more severe wildfires, covering greater areas, requiring more resources for suppression and mitigation, and causing increased onsite and offsite damage to forests and watersheds. Forest managers are now attempting to reduce this accumulated biomass by thinning, prescribed fire, and other management activities. These activities will impact watershed health, particularly as larger areas are treated and treatment activities become more widespread in space and in time. Management needs, laws, social pressures, and legal findings have underscored a need to synthesize what we know about the cumulative watershed effects of fuel management activities. To meet this need, a workshop was held in Provo, Utah, on April, 2005, with 45 scientists and watershed managers from throughout the United States. At that meeting, it was decided that two syntheses on the cumulative watershed effects of fuel management would be developed, one for the eastern United States, and one for the western United States. For the western synthesis, 14 chapters were defined covering fire and forests, machinery, erosion processes, water yield and quality, soil and riparian impacts, aquatic and landscape effects, and predictive tools and procedures.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT ROBERT BK0WNH;G Aim PAINTING; PROLEGOmiA TO A READING OP BROWNING’S POETRY Mary Alice Montant Browning’s poetry is notable for the mamber and importance of its references to other arts. This thesis attempts to assess the influence of painting and painterly ideas on Browning’s poetry, with special reference to his contacts with painting in the early rirt of his life. His father’s taste for and knowledge of painting are discussed, and connections are made between them and formal or technical details of Browning’s style. His father’s own artistic abilities and his interest in engraving are also considered in this light. This entails some consideration of the methodology of com­ parison between painting and poetry, both as Browning would have known it and, with reference to my own explorations, in a modern context.

Augustine: Plants of Mahaska County, Iowa PLANTS OF MAHASKA COUNTY, row A1 DANIEL w. AUGUSTINE During the growing season of 1938 the opportunity to collect plants of the central section of southeastern Iowa was made pos­ sible. This flora is of importance because it represents the signi­ ficant floristic features of the southeastern quarter of the state. Since its purchase from the Indians 97 years ago, there has been a very definite change in the floristic aspects of this section of Iowa. This change is still taking place and is resulting in the ex­ tinction of some of the native plants in the region. However, many of these plants are still to be found in Mahaska County, although they are fewer in number than formerly. The chief purposes of this work were to ascertain as fully as possible the flora of the county, to bring up to date the names of the plants treated in this survey, and to point out possible floristic changes in the county.
