Expert Lumberman of Forest Bureau
on Big Horn Reserve.

Sheridan, Wyo, Aug. 2S.-Eugene S.
Bruce, expert lumberman in the en-
ploy of the forestry department of the
federal government, has completed an
examination of the timber in the Big
Horn forest reserve, and estimates that
1000, 900 900 feet of lumber can be re-
moved from the reserve with actual
benefit to the remaining timber. This
billion feet is in addition to the So
900, 900 feet which the McShane Lum-
Der company has a contract to cut.
Bruce says there is room in the re-
serve, without damage to the timber
left standing, for a dozen such cuttings
as the McShane company is making,
and that the lumber business in this
district, cutting surplus timber only,
should employ at least 1000 men, and
add $1,000, 900 yearly to the wage dis
tribution of the district.

HILL CENTER
CALIFORNIA
RAILWAY MAGNATE PREPARING
TO PUSH NORTHERN PACIFIC
TO THE PACIFIC COAST.
Surveying Party Started Northward
From Winnemucca in Search of
Feasible Route-Union Pacific In
terested in Large Irrigation Enter
prises-Railroad News.

The San Francisco Call prints a story
railway magnate, is planning to extend
the Northern Pacific into California.
The article states that a party of
twenty surveyors, which came west
from Chicago the last week in July,
was in the employ of Hill. The sur
veyors came as far as Winnemucca,
New, where they left the Southern Pa
cifo and started northward on an oyer
land journey.
Up near the southern boundary of
Idaho these men met another party,
that had come south from Grantsdale,
the end of a small extension of the
Northern Pacific, on the other side of
the Rocky mountains. The two parties
then proceeded across the upper por-
ton of Nevada n crossed over into
California, along the route of the West
ern Pacific. Travelling down the east
side of Lassen peak, the surveyors
made a number of ~reconnoiters, and,
finally striking the line of the West
ern Pacific again, they proceeded
southwark to the vicinity of Sacra-
mento, where they ceased work.
1t is further stated that a route is
being surveyed through timber lands
in the northwestern part of California,
which have been acquired by T. B.
Walker and other big lumbermen.
