AFTER BARK BEETLE
Bark Scalcr is Invented
With Which to Ex-
terminate them.

Custer, Oct. 6.-Ranger Tin
sley of the forestry department
has invented a bark scaler which
will be reported favorably to
DR.. Hopkins, the head Of the
department at Washington, and
which will probably be adopted
by the department. The in
strument has been thoroughly
tested by the rangers in the
Hills this summer and is
very useful and practical.
1t is used to scale the bark from
theSbug infested trees, and in
the departments fight against
the bark beetle. If it is adopted
by the department., 1t will bring
quite a royalty to the inventor.
The settlers are rapidly listing
the land on the reserve. This
listing system gives those who
list and file on the land prefer
ence in case the government,
after due examination, finds
that the land is better suited to
agricultural than mineral pur-
poses. Those who have been
on the land since or before Jan
uary l, 1906 will have the pref
erence in the allott;ng Of the
land.
