No Free Timber.

Forest Supervisor H. G. Hamaker re
Gently sent the following letter to the
Commissioner of the General land
Office:
"Are resident of towns within Black
Hills forest reserve entitled annually to
one hundred dollars worth of green
timber free, for erection of new build
ings on town lots, repairing of old ones
and for fire wood.
To the above the commissioner re-
piled as follows:
"You are advised that the provisions
of the law relative to he free use of
timber and paragraph q. as amended
on page twelve OF the rules and regula.
uons governing forest reserves, contem-
plate the needs of only those persons
within or near the boundaries of res
ervation whose lands or claims are in
isolated localities, inaccessible to saw
mills or lumber and wood markets
Unless there are no accessible wooded
lands of private ownership or other le-
gitimate sources from which the resi-
dents of towns and villages can lawfully
procure fuel, they are not allowed to
obtain il from the forest reserves under
the provision for free use of timber.
"No one is entitled annually to the
amount of free timber stated in the rule
cited You will act accordingly"

A few weeks ago the Register called
attention to the fact that there would be
no general county school tax hereafter.
All boards should remember this
Townships hereafter will also be cut a
few dollars in revenue by reason of the
dog tax collections being transferred
from the township TO school district
funds. Each school district will be en-
titled to the dog tax for all dogs in its
district. We are not in position to say
whether State Superintendent Collins
has called attention of county superin-
tendents to the radical changes in the
revenue laws or not, but it is certain
school officers want to be posted on these
matters. Another important matter to
school districts is new law authorizing
the issuing of coupons on bonds coming
due.-State Register.

The ball put in motion short time
since by Col. George of Deadwood for
the government to establish expert
mental mining stations, has already
gained considerable momentum. 1t is a
movement that will certainly receive
favorable consideration in next congress,
for it has always been the policy Of the
government to encourage the develop
ment Of every resource Of the country,
and the fact that the mining industry
has not received greater recognition is
perhaps due to not pushing the matter.
