No SawmiII Operations.

No sawmill operations nave ever
been conducted on the area. When
the Northern Pacific railroad was
being built larger number of trees
were cut for railroad ties and to-
gether with the logs which have been
procured for house building by set
tiers this Is the only use which has
been made Of the timber on the for
est. 1t is understood that the logs
used in the construction of President
Roosevelts cabin, which now stands
in the State Capitol grounds at Bis
marck, n. D., were obtained from the
area now included in the Dakota
National Forest.
Governor Burke of N. d., is very
much interested In this forest and
thinks it will be of inestimable value
to the people who live in the region
where the forest is created.
Both of the new National Forests,
the Ocala in Florida, and the Da-
kota, will be put under administra-
ton by the Forest Service as soon as
possible.

The Mistral.

The mistral is a cold northwest
wind which does much damage at GER

From the close of autumn to the be-

dangerous storms on the Mediterrane-

ARGUMENTS BEGIN TODAY

Major Holmes Opens For State at
Night Rider Trial.
Union City, Tenn, Jan. .5.-Argu-
ments in the night rider trials began
today, Major Holmes opening for the
state, and being followed by Judge
Moore, Judge Caldwell and Judge
Swiggert.
The illness of Juror Rosson is .caus-
ing the court and the attorneys con-
siderable uneasiness. Should he be-
come to Ill to finish the case a mis-
trial would result, as the Tennessee
laws do not permit the waving of a
single juror. Judge Jones declares
that if necessary he will finish the
case at the sick mans bedside rather
than declare a mistrial.

Heavy Demand Continues.

"The use of cement, terra Gotta,
brick and stone, with a framework
of steel, Will make it possible soon to
do away with wood entirely" is re-
mark often heard, and, indeed, when
one stands on lower Broadway and
looks up at the towering skyscrapers,
the statement seems to contain much
truth.
As a matter of fact, however, the
popular idea that fre-prOof materials
will do away with the need of using
lumber in a comparatively few years
is a very erroneous one. All of the
various fre-proof materials going in
to the approved construction of the
more substantial buildings are used
in greater quantities now than the
world dreamed of few years ago,
yet the heavy demand for lumber con-

Great as the advance in fre-proof
construction has been during the last
ten years there has been no let-up

Wood Prelominates.

That wood predominates Is shown
by the annual building records. Of
the permits used for buildings erected
last year, approximately 81 per cent
were constructed of wood, and the
remaining 80 per cent of fire resisting
material, according to a report issued
by the Geological Survey on opera
tons in forty leading cities of
the country. These figures are the
more significant when it is realized
that they only represent the building
activities in the largest cities; they
do not take into account the con-
struction of dwellings,, stores and
other buildings in the thousands of
small cities and towns scattered over
and not included in the forty mine
cities on which the reckoning is made.
Towns and Small Cities.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually the predominating building
material and it is safe to say that if
the statistics had included figures for
all places of whatever size, the per-
centage of wooden construction would
have been much greater. These fig
ures, as a rule, are only for the
corporate limits, and the suburbs of
these cities have each very large
amounts to be added. The cost, also,
is relatively higher in these cities
than in towns nearer the base of the
supply.

Pines and Scrub Growths.

In addition to the pines and scrub
growths, bald cypress, cabbage pal
metto and tupelo gum, gradually
changing to water oak, ash, elm, mag
nolia, hickory and maple are found
bordering the numerous ponds and
lakes which are scattered abundant
ly throughout the confines of this for
est.
Fire has played a very important
part in bringing about the present
poorly forested condition of the
Ocalo, as year after year large fires
have burned uninterruptedN, over
this tract, killing all vegetation and
consuming the humus of the soil.
Naturally protected portions which
have not been subject to the flames,
prove positively however, that the
soil will rapidly respond to little
care taking and that the prevention
of fires would eventually mean the
reforestation of practically the en-
tire area

Few HOmeSteaderS.

At the present time there are but
seven homesteaders within the bonn
daries of the forest, but all of the
old sections are alienated land being
owned by the Western Land Secur-
tiles Company. This company has
been selling portions of their holdings
during the past few years. Very
little of the Government land within
the boundaries of the forest is suit
able for farming purposes, since it
is quite rough and broken and water
is very scarce. 1t is the country out
side of the forest which is now being
taken M by settlers.

Forest is Very Open.

The forest is very open and for the
most part contains scattering stand
of western yellow pine timber. Along
the creek bed is found ash, box ell
der, cottonwood, elm and birch. Ced-
ar breaks are also found on pre-
cipitous slopes bordering the streams.
Western yellow pine is the only mer-
charitable species, however, on the
forest and the average stand per acre
is not over 1000 feet, The repro
duction of pine is fairly good wher-
ever mature trees occur, but owing
to the open condition of the forest
and the dense growth of grass it is
for the most part unsatisfactory.

Little Timber Sold.

There is but little timber that will
be sold from the forest at the pres
ent time since this area is very iso-
lated, being surrounded ON all sides
by vast plains. Many homesteaders
have in the past come to this forest
for timber for logs to build their
houses. Since the completion of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road, Billings county is rapidly being
settled and while stock grazing is at
the present time the most important
industry it is very probable that
farming will become the most impOr-
tant industry within the next few
years. 1t is very important, there
fore, that the timber which now re-
mains should be conserved exclusively
for the use of the home builder.

The expected death OF James Skegs,

ing school the son James entered his
fathers store, and learned the wall pa :
per business, and q year ago last fail
went on the road for u time for Kan
sas City firm. His health at that time
was not good, and it was thought a
change from an indoor life might prove
beneficial. Last summer Mr.. Skegg
went to Denver, as a sightseer at the
national democratic convention, and his
pulmonary trouble was discovered upon
his return home.
The death Of the young man is on
especially sad blow to the parents who
give up their only son, whom the faith
err had planned would some day take
charge of the business. The young man
also had manX friends in the city who
