Yale Expert Glasses Bark Pest With
Seven-Year Locust.

Seventeen Locust.
If the theories of Prof. j. w. Tou-
mey, expert forester, and head of the
forestry department in Yale univer-
sity, are correct, the destructive bee
tie that has cost the government so
many thousand dollars to combat, soon
will be a thing of the past in the Black
Hills forest reserve Prof. Tourney,
who has just made a thorough study
Of the situation here, declares that he
believes the bark beetle, like the sew
en- year l%ocusts, remains in II To-
cality only for a given period, and that
this time has nearly expired. For
over two years the government ex-
perts only have succeeded in prevent
ing too great a spread of the pest here
by various methods. They have con-
fined its destruction Of valuable tim
Der preserves to this reserve, by the
hardest kind of work, but have not
found a way to kill off the insect.

Counties Report Increase in Assessed
Valuation,

ISRSiA i'S'SdoS VI NooO0oC0
4 Valuation.
With the returns so far made by
the counties to the state auditor there
( will be a decided increase in the gen.
eral state valuation this year, and it is
S%expected that under the new law
there will also be an increase worthy
of note in the assessment of corpo-
rate property. Eighteen counties have
made returns, which show an increase
Of 81, 900, 900 over the returns from
the same counties last year. With the
same ratio of increase on the rest of
the counties the increase in general
valuation will be approximately 1884,
100000 over the returns of last year,
land the increase in corporate prop
erty will bring it to at least $50, 0OO,-
900 if the estimates are sustained.
With such an increase in valuation
1t is not likely that the full additional
2 mill levy authorized by the legisla-
ture will be required to raise the
necessary revenues of the state for
the next year.

Celia Goodrich, colored, pioneer wo-
mar OF the Black Hills and friend of
all the early day miners, is dead.
Dropsy, from which she suffered some
time, finally caused the end at ST. Jo-
seph's hospital in Deadwood, aged
sixty-one.
Mrs. Goodrich had an interesting ca

was raised in the family of Capt.
Blackwood, but was V a slave.
The Blackwoods, who had purchased
her mother. had given her freedom.
In 1864 the young woman became Mrs.
Thomas Goodrich and went to Mis-
souri, to live and later to Denver, COM
ing to Deadwood in 1876, a pioneer
year. 1t was here that her real career
| began. Sickness, births and deaths
were her special missions.
In every miners family the name
Of Mother Goodrich was revered,
for to all she was Nurse and doctor.
Many a time the woman walked and
rode for two days owe mountainous
roads to answer the OF a
sick man or child. Then her own fam
lily began to grow so large that it occu-

Mrs. Goodrich is survived by six

The state land department Is con
tinuing its Typographical work on state
school lands, having had G.. G. Bar
ney and J.. G. Damn, two of the field
surveyors in Butte county, for several
weeks. They worked principally in
the northern part of the county along
the headwaters Of the Moreau and
Grand rivers, and they saw the valleys
Of these streams are practically all
taken by homesteaders who have
come in this spring.
A larger area than usual In a newly
settled country has been broken up
and put into crops, and everything
which has been planted is growing
finely. The valleys have an immense
growth Of grass, showing that the soil
is all right, and the homesteaders who
have located appear to be we'll salts
fed with the country in which they
have settled. The men in the state
work look upon the valleys as fine
agricultural lands, but are doubtful
as to the hill section between the
streams. although the prairie shanties
are beginning to get out into the hills
since the valleys are taken up.
The surveyors report antelope nu-
merous and tame, as the law protect
ing the little animals is we'll observed
by the settlers, and the animals Craze
about the settlements with but little
fear of the people who have invaded
their old-time haunts. About the only
violations of the law come from In
dams who get off the reservation on
hunting trips and pay little attention
to game laws when they see any wild
animal which will supply them with
something to eat.

will be still more popular this summer.
Women are expected to go in for bal
looming in increasing numbers. follow
ing the example OF Mrs Hartford and
Mrs. Nicholl, the pioneer women
aeronaUts.
To meet the probable demand, a
special ballooning dress has been de-
signed. Here is a description of the
first fashion in ballOoning outfits for
women, given by a West End ladies'
tailor:
THE most practical dress for a lady
ballOonist should really be made Of
gabardine. slimber. or, for the coolest
weather, lOdan, which is a particularly
thick yet light woven cloth. worn by
The Alpine guides.
Adjustable Skirt.
''The fashionable color is a green with
q slight rudy tinge. The coat is worn
short and lined with fleece or silk, with
two breast pockets. two cross pockets,
end two. hand-rests for the purpose of
keeping the hands warm.
The skirt is an adjustable one, which
means that il can be drawn up by in
visible cords, which by forming a pleat
half way down, enables the wearer 20
get IN and out of the car with great
facility, while It can be let down when
travelling 10 keep the feet warm.

silk, fur, or wool a tailor-made skirt
of opal crepe should be worn beneath,

as the coat and skirt.

looming cap made Of a fine opal crepe in
the very palest shade of green, which
IS not damaged by the rain. II is in
the jelly-bag shape. the end being fas-
Eened down on the right side by a
quill. An opal silk veil, which is woven
in colored silks, should also be worn
with the costume, shading from the
green of the ballOOning cap to the
rudy shade in the coat and skirt.
Canadian mittens are made of the same
material as the coat and skirt
To make the costume complete the
lady ballOOnist should wear dark brown
boots, or, If she wishes to be particu-
larry smart, she could have the leather
dyed exactly the same shade as the
coat and skirt.
