Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, May 25.-Last year
it was the Merry Widow" waltz;
the season before that it was the
barn dance. What will it be next
season? Well, it won't be the
Apache waltz.
New York has gone crazy over
the Apache waltz, but it will never
be a popular ballroom diversion.
In the first place, it's too vigor-
Gus. In the second place lots OF
New Workers. think it is terribly
naughty. Some folk differ, say 1t is
really artistic, and because so not
naughty.
The dance was first given In
The Queen of the Moulin Rouge
by a young American couple. II
was such a hit that big vaude-
vile firm captured it. Then the
management of the Moulin
Rouge" show sent to Paris for
Mons. Molasso and Mile. Corio to
perform the dance.
This pair from Paris outdid the
American couple in every way,
and now New York is going to see
THE Queen of the Moulin Rouge"
all over again.
The Apaches = named after
American Indians-are the toughs
Of Paris. The dance is given in a
taproom setting, with the girls
smoking cigarets., The young lady
who is coaxed to dance with the
Apache is thrown about In star
Ting fashion. He later tries to
square things with her by rubbing
her forehead while the dance is
going on. But after that he
changes his mind again and
throws her on the floor. That's
the way the dance ends.

Rapid City people were aroused by
the alarm of fire Thursday morning.
The blaze was soon located at the rear

on fire and blazing fiercely. The
alarm was sounded about 1870 a. m.
and the department was soon on hand
Connection was made with the hy-

that connection was frozen solid and
a transfer had to be made to corner

secured and the fire soon gotten under
control. 1t was confined to the build
ing where it originated, and aside
from smoke entering some of the
nearby stores and apartments no great
amount Of damage was done. Had
there been a strong wind, as on few
nights previous, the small blaze would
have been famed into conflagration

The year 1909 will become a matter
of history at 1901 tonight. 1t has
been an eventful year, the wheels Of
progress have moved slowly but stead

one for us-in fact, 1t has been the
best business year since opening our

demands--of the jewelry and optical
trade better than in the past. We
wish all happy and prosperous new

ENLARGE CAPACITY OF MILL

Mill In Rapid City.

The Lanphere-Hinrichs Co. believe
in keeping abreast of the times, and
basing the future on the past have
expended s25,0O0 in improved machin-

A new steam pump saw has been
placed in the mills and at the logging
camp the Lidgerwood system of haul

tenn requires the power of three large
engines and $4,000 feet of wire cable.

LOSS BY fire
VERY SMALL
Rangers Reports Show 233
Fires with Loss of Only
S2,6OO.OO.
ON THE GREAT NATIONAL FOREST RESERVE
The Fire Last October in Black Hills
Wae the Most Destructive
of the season.

The report of the National Forestry
service for the year shows that not a
very large amount of timber on the
reserves was destroyed by fire. The
district for which the figures are given
includes the reserves in Colorado,
Southern and Eastern Wyoming,
South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska,
inclusive of over 23,0OO,OOO acres.
During the season there were 233 fires
with an estimated loss in timber to
the value of $1,000.
Any one of these fires, If it had been
allowed to run unchecked and burn
itself out, which is usually the case
on tracts where there is no patrol,
would have caused loss many times
the value of the timber burned. Pri-
vate timberland owners, particularly
those living in the far northwest, as
we'll as Uncle Sam on the national
forests, have alike proven this season
that the patrol is the one sure means
of combating forest fires, which for
esters say are the worst enemy of the
forest.
The estimated value of timber
within the national forests of the dis
trict is s9O,OOO,O0O. The loss from fire
during the past season, therefore, rep
resents, approximately, three one
thousandth of one per cent of the total
value. Railroads have been the worst
offenders in the setting of fires, 96 out
of the 233 being ascribed to them.
Thirty-four fires were set by campers,
and twenty-five by lightning. Saw
mills set five and thirteen were caused
by the spreading of fires kindled for
the purpose Of clearing land and burn
ing brush. Only four are reported to
have been of incendiary origin.
There are 23,,359, 1S3 acres of national
forest land within the district. With
In this vast territory there has been
but one fire during the year that
gained enough headway to become at
all serious. This fire was in the Black
Hills last October and was responsible
for about two-thirds of the total loss
in the district. Many of the other
fires would no doubt have been serious
If they had not not been extinguished
promptly. Considering the large acre.
age patroled, and the amount of tim.
ber involved, the loss has been excep.
tionally low and the figures given are
an excellent illustration of the value
of organized patrol of cumberland.
