letters identical with those which the
Queen paid to have burned.

Lodaepole Pine.

The lodgepole pine gained its name
from its wide use by the Indians as a
support for their tepees Since the
Indians of the Rocky Mountain region
dragged their lodge poles to the plains
when on hunting trips. a timber of re-
quisite height but small diameter was
without trimming The names Of
white pine, black pine. spruce and
tamarack are also applied locally In
Wyoming, lodgepole pine is most
numerous than any other tree and it is
largely represented in the forests of
Colorado, Utah, Montana and Idaho,
and to some eXtent-iu... Washington,
Oregon and California. 1t grows from
sea level to 900 feet elevation, and Is
noted for its variable form and quality.
In the Rocky Mountains the wood Is
lighter in weight and color less resin
Gus and straighter grained than on the
Pacific Coast
Lodgepole pine attains an age OF
from 100 to 800 years. 1t quickly
succumbs to fire on account of its thin
bark, but to a certain extent guards
against extinction by this cause BY
producing fertile cones at the early age
OF from 6 to 10 years. Reseeding after
a fire is favored also by the persistence
of the cones, some of which do mol
shed their seeds for a number Of years
and by the readiness with which the
seeds terminate on mineral soil OF
burned over land. A large proportion
OF seeds terminate; they are usually
borne annually and in large quantities
and since they are small and lighi'
they are carried by the wind as lar
as 200 yards from the seed tree.
The yield runs as high as 10000
board feet per acre. though it does mol
often run over 1000 board feet. the
tree is of small size, seldom exceeding
is inches in diameter and 80 feet IN
height, but it usually forms dense
stands. 1T Is valuable for poles, heWed
ties, mine props, stulls, logging poles
converter poles and box boards. Inc
demand for 1odgepole pine for heWeu
ties IS especially strong for two rea'
sons, the wood hews easily, and, Sincs
the common size of the tree is from u
to IA inches in diameter breast high
there is little hewing to be done. EH
periments on a large scale looking To-
ward the use of lodgepole for pape,
pulp will be tried by the purchasers q
