FORESTRY ORDER.

RAPID CITY, s. p, Jan. 19.-In an
interview with Special Land Agent c,
w. Green, of this city; nsregard to the
will recommend the establishment Of
the Cleveland forestry reserve order,
he gave it as his opinion that a forestry
reserve will be established and main
tanned in a portion of the Black Hills,
but he does not believe that the Cleve-
land policy will be renewed. The orig
inal order prohibited prospecting and
mining within the reserve, which
would be very serious blow to the
mining interests in the hills. Mr.
Green's opinion is that the new report
will not prohibit prospecting or legit-
innate mining nor the use of timber for
The Saint Paul globe., 1898-01-20

legitimate purposes and for the benefit
of the people of the Black Hills, but
that it will absolutely prohibit the cut
ting of timber for export purposes.
During his official residence in the hills
Mr. Green has made a thorough study
Of the timber. He finds there is still
a vast timber area. which will supply
all legitimate uses in this district for
years to come, but there is none to
waste or ship out of the country. AS
long as proper care is taken of the
timber there will always be sufficient
supply for home use.

This action was taken by the Comp

disclosed large defalcatiOR on the part
Of Eli w. Stone, the assistant cashier OF

Assistant Cashier Stone died at his

he had been confronted by the examiner
with the defalcation. He confessed his
guilt to the Examiner. The Examiner
reports that. from as careful an examina-
ton of the books of the bank as he has
been able to make, there is no evidence
whateverof any completely on the part of

DEMOCRATS as well as Republicans
appear TO think that the next Senate

A gain of two or three seats will put
that body in Republican hands. The
chances are that the Republicans will
maintain their hold on the House, al
tn Dugh their majority, which is now in
the neighborhoOd OF iif,y, may be di-
minished slightly. The congressional
canvass thus far has not been active on
either side. Still, good deal of inter-
est is likely to be aroused before election
day comes Confidence prevails at the
headquarters Of the Republican cam
plign committee. The confidence, too,
is supplemented by earnest, intelligent
work. Effective efforts WI be made
% get the full Republican vote out.
This means victory. Whenever 8 heavy
vote is polled throughout the country
the Republicans win. On heavy and
honest vote the Republicans have been
in q majority in the United States con-
stantly since 1850.
