important factor IN the growth
OF the newer town. Mr.. Lamp
here and Mr.. Hinrich's are both
prominent capitalists Of Cham

so to speak on Rapid City for a
year past, with a view to MAX
ing this investment. The deal
for the timber tract, which it is
estimated will cut around twelve
million Of feet, was engineered
by D.. r. Roberts, the Seventh

sideration is variously estimated
but that is we'll up in the four

and the scraps will be made in

system will be to save every

Cheyenne Bridge Wanted.


The new settlers on both sides of
the Cheyenne river, particularly the
east side of that river, are complain
Ing daily, and vainly asking for a
wagon bridge across the river at some
point down there that will accomo-
date the greatest number. These
people We're told by ~locators better
than a year ago that the supervisors
of Pennington county had recon-
mended this bridge and that it would
at once be built. but the year has
passed and no bridge is yet noticeable
even on paper 1t would seem to be
up to the supervisors to say why
some action has not been taken. The
fact Is appreciated that Pennington
county is a great big county and that
its county officials have a great deal
to do, but at this time it would seem
a god plan to look after the neces-
stiles of the new settlers first. If the
east part of the county is practically
isolated from the west part and it's
court house and land office by reas-
on of the absence of a bridge across
the Cheyenne river, it is a mater of
moment, both financially and
otherwise to Rapid City and the en-
tire western end of the county. 1t
must be remembered that the new
Cheyenne, like new Rapid City is al
together a different proposition than
what is used to be. Where In the
old days 1t could be readily forded,
1t now means a swim. The Union
mentions this crying need in passing,
hoping that some action will be i'm
m~ediately taken.

THE FOREST RESERVE.

Forest Service Making Some Good
Bargains to the People
The United States Forest
Service IS advertising for pur-
chasers Of the dead and insect
infested timber in the southern
portion of the Black Hills For
est Reserve in South Dakota.
The area south Of the Lawrence
and Pennington county lines is
the tract affected. Within the
boundaries of this area, how
ever, the timber on patented
lands, valid mineral or agli-
cultural claims, and certain
other areas together with that
on areas covered with sales
which are already in progress,
is excluded from sale. The
sound merchantable material,
excluding these areas, is esti-
mated at two hundred and
fifty million feet, board mea-
sure. At present, many small
operators are cutting this mat
erial, but their operations are
confined to the vicinity Of the
railroads, whore wagon hauling
has peen their only feasible
means of transportation. Be-
yond the limit Of these opera
tions and even within it are
still immense quantities of good
dead and insect-infected timber
to which the government hopes
to attract parties who will oper-
ate on alare scale. Timber not
now accessible can be reached
under operations extensive
enough to warrant the building
of the necessary railroads or the
use Of traction engines.
The largest part Of this Sec
ton of the reserve is rot very
rough, SO that logging in most
cases is an easy matter. Good
wagon roads are numerous, and
grading for the construction
of logging roads seldom nee
essary. Good water is every
where PLENTIFUL, and many ex-
cellent sawmill sites exist to
which the timber would come
easily for long distances by
down-hill hauls.
All this material is western

Soon after the attack of the
bark-beetle, the wood of the
pine begins to turn blue. This
blue color is due to fungas in
the wood cells. The blueing
continues rapidly until in the
spring the sapwood is entirely
blue and then works more
slowly into the heartwood.
