seedlings follow.
BY far the greater part of the mer-
charitable lodgepole area Is within
existing or proposed federal forest
reserves, where the numbering regula-
tions which the government put into
effect some time ago will protect and
benefit the forests.
Other objects Of the Bureau of For.
ostry In this study are to ascertain the
rates of growth Of the tree, and how
it may be increased; to better exist
ing numbering regulations; to devise
system of fire protection, and to ex-
tend the commercial uses of the wood.
A controlling consideration is the need
of maintaining the forests on all the
mountains they now cover, and Of
causing them to spread more widely,
If possible, since the most important
function they can perform is to safe
guard the water sheds they include.
This study will enable the bureau to-
carry out more effectively the work Of
forest reserve management lately in
trusted to 1t by Congress. The results
of the study should also prove of large
value to railroad and private owners,
who hold a great many old sections
of land through the lodgepole pine
region.

towards the southern limit of its
range, the conditions which are neces-
cary to its best growth are found be-
tween 5000 and 10000 feet eleva-
ton.
Lodgepole pine is valuable, for one
reason, because 1t grows on high
mountain slopes, and also on old
burns" where other trees find diff
Guilty in obtaining a foothold. 1t
readily adapts itself to most diverse
soil conditions, but thrives best where
there Is considerable moisture. It's
roots accommodate themselves to the
shallow soil common in the localities
where 1t grows. At very early age
this tree produces cones in large guam
titles, and after it is ton years old the
seed are generally fertile. The cones
sometimes open and distribute the
seeds as soon as they are ripe, though
more commonly they remain on the
tree for years with their seed carefully
preserved beneath the scales. In
many cases squirrels cut off the closed
cones and hide them away in the
ground. If fire occurs before the
seeds are eaten, 1t will cause the cones
to open and set them free. As a rule,
however, the cones of many seasons
remain on the trees until a fire comes
along and, by heating them, liberates

to recall the flowers Whicn nave from

The exhibit is handled by the Lang
don City Schools for it's educational
value and for the purpose of raising
funds with which to purchase a few
high grade pictures for the school
rooms. We believe our school rooms
should be as neat, pleasant, and artistic
as our sitting room at home, for our
children spend nearly half of their "wak-
ing" hours there nine months in the
year.
The pictures for the Art Exhibit ar
rived Tuesday from Mipnewaukan, hav-
ing been exhibited by the public schools
there. Quite number of persons visit
ed the High School rooms Tuesday after
noon to examine the pictures or help
hang them and all were greatly pleased
with them. We believe that no one will
miss seeing this display of fine art:
especially as the admission is SO small,
fifteen cents. On account of the educa-
tion it will be, we hope that no child
will naiss seeing the pictures.

Land Office Decision Against Iowa Man, Who
Bought Homestead In Cavalier County.

The Commissioner of the General
Office has handed down decision af
firming the decision of the Grand Forks
office in the case of Stella Caves vs.
Stewart Stevenson, involving quartz,
section located in Section 3-163-61. The
suit is an unusually interesting one from
the fact that the land had been transfer.
red after Stevenson made final proof and
Frank Humel, an Iowa man, is out
s2, 143 as result of the transaction. From
the testimony it seems that Stevenson
filed on the homestead Jan. 2, 1901, and
on Nov. II, 1902, he made final COM
mutation proof. On Feb. 2, 1903, Steven
son conveyed the land to L. T Hartzell,
giving warrantee deed. Hartzell after
ward conveyed the land back to Steven
son, giving the latter quit claim deed
and on Sept. II, 1908, Stevenson convey
ed the land to Frank Humel, giving the
latter warrantee deed. The contest
was started Dec. 16, 1903, by Miss Caves.
In the commissioners decision the
opinion is suppressed that Humel isn't en-
titled to much sympathy for the loss OF
his money as he did not exercise due
caution in looking up the title of the
land.
