The extention of the Milwaukee road
to the Black Hills country has opened
quite an industry along the Cheyenne
river. For years there has been an
immense forest of cottonwood trees
which have developed into very large
size. Sawmills have been established
at several places along the river that
are now in active operation. Hereto
fore it was impossible to ship the lum.
Der to any great distance, but the rail
road has made il possible to open M
and extend the industry to quite large
extent There is an immense amount
of building to be done throughout the
west in the years to come, aud the
supply of cottonwood trees is estimated
to be large enough to build
up the entire country and then
have large surplus for eastern ship
ment. Other sawmills will be estab
iished. and the business conducted on
larger basis.
