SAW MILLS WILL BUZZ.
Big Woods Along Missouri River TO 3.
Made Into lumher.

Miller, S. D.. Dec. 12.-Accordine 10
the Forest City Press. Iowa parties are
investigating along the Missouri river
with a view of purchasing the timber
tracts, putting in portable mills and
saving the logs into lumber.
There are a great many good belts Of
timber along the stream, and numerous
Islands in the river are we'll covered
with large trees. Ash, elm, cottonwood
and box elder constitute the larger por-
tion of the trees. although there are
pthcr varieties.
Probably of the many thousands of
people who nave passed through the lit
Tie pioneer town Of Rec Heights. twelve
miles west of here. few realized h
situated on the steep slope north of The
H2ee hills, about three miles south of
the village, was Il small belt of nat
nral timber that appears to have pros
pered there for ages.
Some of the trees are fairly large and
must hav afforded IL shady rest for
travellers and prospectors of the early
days.
Springs OF water are common there
hnd the grove must have offered an at
tractive harbor for buffalo and deer.
This is the only grove in this range of
hills that may be seen for many miles
distant from the north and west.
There are many of the larger groves
of timber nestled in the gulches with
brooks running through them, but they
are unknown except to those a%cquaint-
I'D with the country.
Besides having withstood the fierce
prairie fires of the early years, the trees
in this grove that still prosper out in
the open, facing the north winds, must
have been pierced by the poisoned az
rows of the indian warriors who
fought n OF their deadly battles in
and around it.
The government troops also fought
the Sioux within bullet distance of this
grove. Mounds show that many were
buried in the vicinity as a result of
these battles.
The hill upoN which this brave little
historic grove stands was filed on and
proved up as . homestead, but is used
only for grazing.
