The Timber Reserve.

The Keystone Miner says that Fred
Whitney who was recently appointed
a forestry patrol by Forestry Commis-
sioner Hamaker, has stopped the cut
ting of timber for fire wood used at the
mines and mills at Keystone. Public
lands on which timber is to be cut will
be surveyed, the stumpage estimated
and payment required before the cut
ting is done. Senator Pettigrew who
visited the Hills lately to confer with
the people on the matter thinks the
consensus of opinion in the Hills will
justify the extension of the timber re-
serve to the entire Hills to the end
that the wasteful cutting of timber shall
be checked and forest fires prevented.

A George Washington memorial
meeting, the hottest day of the season
and lemon ice was the program last
Friday at Mrs. Kellars on College Hill.
The ladies were equal to every feature
of the occasion for at the close of the
meeting the ice had disappeared, the
temperature was cooled, and a noble
list of names was enrolled as charter
members.
The movement was discussed care
fully, extracts read from John w.
Hoyts memorial of a National Univer-
sity; book throwing much light on
the subject, and which every citizen
should read.
The growth of this movement since
the visit of Mrs. Richardson three
weeks ago las been marvellous. The
number of charter members sent from
Hot Springs prove we do not intend to
bs laggers. Tho prompt enthusiasm
with which names have been inscribed
on the nations honor roll is most en-
conraging and the reward will be q
rank among the nations patriots for
generations hence.
The privilege of becoming charter
member closes the first day of next
November. Every charter member
has his or her name preserved forever
in the records of the Memorial Build
ing at Washington.
The ladies will organize for current
expense fund later OH.

south pnkotN should Help.

south Dakota Should Help.
The women of South Dakota are be-
coming thoroughly aroused over the
erection of great American Univer-
sity at Washington City, thus carry
ing out the desire of George Washing
ton as expressed in his will when he be-
queathed s25,OO0 in trust to congress
to be used to the advancement of that
idea
The trust was neglected and the val
ue of the legacy lost. Many attempts
have been made to secure favorable. ac-
tion by congress, but SO far without
avail. A committee of one hundred
headed by Chief Justice Fuller, was
appointed to look after the interests of
the proposed university, but what was
everybody's business was nobody's bus
mess, and interest Jagged as before.
Finally it was determined to place
the matter in more active hands, there
fore Mrs. Ellen Richardson, Copely
square, Boston, was placed at the head
of the active work.
1t is now proposed to erect memoir
ial building to Washington, the corner
stone to be laid in December, 1899, one
hundred years from date of Washing
toms bcquest. The memorial building
is to be the beginning of the erection
of the great university. Nearly every
state has been organized by the women
and money is flowing in rapidly.
The organization in South Dakota
has been, so far, confined to the Black
Hills. Mrs. G. G. Moody, wife of ex.
Senator Moody, is the president for
South Dakota, and Mrs. Andrew j.
Kellar is the secretary. These two
ladies have worked up quite an inte-
rest in that part of the state and wish
it to be extended to all parts of South
Dakota. By the payment of S., before
February %, 1899, any one may become
charter member of the association.
Certainly there can be no better
cause to which contribution may be
made. The United States needs q
great university. Aside from Johns
Hopkins there is none on this side of
the Atlantic which will compare favor
sbly with some of the universities of
Europe. Those institutions are being
overcrowded by American students,
who are not so welcome now as they
were a few years ago.
Aside from her military and naval
schools, the United States has never
interested herself in educational mat
ters except in regard to Indians. The
need Of university superior in equip
ment to any other educational instu-
ton in the United States, and the
equal of any university of Europe, has
long been apparent to educators.
Had the government dealt fairly
with the bequest of Washington that
$4,000 would have aggregated more
than 100000. by this time. That
amount the government is morally
bound to appropriate for the purpose
designated in Washington's will and
such additional amount as may be-
necessary to build and eqnip univer.
sity that will be credit to a great ma
ton like the United States.-Sioux
