Forest Reserve.
Created In Billings County By President Roosevelt Alits History

stated that the reserve would prob
ably be located about 30 miles south
of Medora, including the forest
from which were secured the logs
which were used in the erection Of
the Roosevelt cabin.
Incidental with the establishing
Of the forest reserve in the Bad
Lands, are related some interesting
bits Of the early history of that
country, dealing with local citi-
zens.
In the early days there was a
large stand Of fine pine trees in
the upper valley Of the Little
Missouri, but the trees have been
practically all cut off.
In the early eighties E. H. Bly,
of Bismarck, had contract to
furnish a large quantity Of ties to
the Northern Pacific when it was
building through that section. He
put crew Of men at work cutting
this pine and he took nearly all
that was standing at that time. He
built little sawmill at Medora
and planned to float the logs down
the river to that point and saw
them into ties, but the river was
so unexpectedly high that his boom
failed to hold them and he lost
most of the timber.
The high water also left large
numbers of logs stranded along
the river for many miles, and
thereby hangs tale as to how the
Roosevelt cabin, which now stands
in the state capitol ground, came
to be built out of nice straight
pine logs instead of scrub oak or
box elder logs ordinarily used for
house building by the pioneers.
It was about the time when Bly,
met with this piece of hard luck
; that Theodore Roosevelt "struck
the country" in search of buffalo
. hunt, which Joe Ferris gave him
with a vengeance. It was when
returning to Medora from the
wilds of what is now Bowman
, county that Roosevelt and Ferris
, stopped over night at the Maltese
} Cross ranch-which then consisted
of lot Of fine cattle and little,
Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1908-12-18

dirt log shack. The cattle excited
the admiration of the New Yorker
and resulted in the purchase Of the
ranch and its stock.
Merrifeld and Joe and Sylvanus
Ferris had been looking after the
stock and remained as foreman for
Roosevelt. Teddy hung up his hat
in the little shack, but soon told
the boys to get busy with their
axes and build new and larger
house for him.
The boys had before this appre-
ciated the value for fire wood Of
those pine logs and not being fond
of wood chopping, quietly gath
cred as many of Bly's logs as were
necessary and soon had a fine ranch
Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1908-12-18

house built for the future presi-
dent, and doubtless many other
provident ranchers enjoyed the
result of Bly's labor in the same
way.
Joe Ferris'was for many years
the leading merchant Of Medora,
but has gone to Montana to en-
gage in trade. Sylvanus Ferris is
now the sedate and upright regis
ter of the Dickinson land office, a
personal appointment Of President
Roosevelt's. but whether or not
this plum was given as a reward
for swiping such nice logs is not
set forth in the commission which
adorns the home of the federal Off
cial, who, however, stoutly main

tains that he and Merrifield are
alone the guilty parties and quiet
~ laughs over incidents like these
in those halcyon days Of cowboy
enthusiasm.
The moral of the tale lies in the
fact that once upon a time fine
pine and cedar grew along the
Little Missouri and seems to be
growing there yet, so that in the
hands of the government these val
liable trees could be grown there
in sufficient quantities to make
beautiful and useful growths over
the state, where now the cotton
wood, boxelder and elm hold undis-
puted sway. Dickinson Press.

nIRESlOENI Roosevelt recently
signed q proclamation creating
the Dakota national forest in
Billings county, consisting Of ID ,080
acres.
Its creation is important as it
opens an experimental field for tree
planting in the state, the reserve
having only l per cent of tree
growth. The creation of this forest
reserve has been advocated for
some time, for it is believed that
this is the beginning Of a movement
in this state which will do more
toward promoting the growth of
timber than any other method
possible. Governor Burke has
been firm advocate of the plan
and has done all in his power to
bring it about.
Last July a government agent in
terviewed the governor and said
that he believed forest reserve of
about one township in extent would
be an excellent thing for the prop
agation of pine and cedar. These
varities of timber, he said, were
found growing very thickly along
the valley of the Little Missouri,
especially in the little draws which
lead up to the prairie from the
river valley. With proper care
and under management Of the for
est service, these trees could be
grown at the reserve in great guam
titles and distributed all over the
state. Eventually they would prove
of inestimable value, from both
commercial and a scenic point. The
proclamation of the president is nc
doubt, the result of this investiga-
tion.
The local land Office has not yet
received any official notice Of the
setting aside of this land, but al
the reserve is located in territory
under jurisdiction Of the Dickin
son office, a communication from
the department headquarters is ex
pected to arrive soon. Register S
M. Ferris is pleased over the action
of the president and feels that TIN
step is in the direction Of NOR
forests in the state. Mr.. Ferri!

Oscar Schrader. a business man. Of chicago. WHO
demanded the money and got it Class, IN April
1906 conspired with George Walker, Jack NlIilans
and two other persons, known as Williams's back
ers TO swindIe Schrader. Glass represented to
Schratier that he had agreed with Jack Williams
to fight at ST Louis for a large sum OF money ana
that two persons backing Williams would put up
wager of $4,000 but that Williams would throw
the fight and permit Class 10 win
1T is alleged that Schrader was piled with liquor
while. the preIininaries for the fight were being
arranged in a ST. Louis cafe, and he permitted
Walker to handle the money. Walker, 1t IS al

tended to put into the same bag another Slo'V
