beyond expression.
The ladies from Louisville ar
rived here uthrough trials and
tribulations; they came through
overland; when they left home
it was dry and dusty and the
same conditions prevailed when
they reached AcKerman, but be-
fore reaching their destination,
they were overiaken by very
hard rain which very much lm
peded their progress and did nol
arrive here until about 4 O'clock,
IN the AFTERNOON. No doubt the
ladies' are for rock roads as they

last thirty years in the Government
Hospital for the Insane. for killing q
white man in Montana, will be a free
man and en- route to the old hills. wnere
his squaw and married daughter await
him.
Pardon papers now are practically
ready for President Wilson's signature.
He knows the red mans story and 1t Is
believed will restore him to his family.
The prospect of freedom brought a
smile to Spoo PEGS face yesterday. His
story is one of the most pathetic in all
the Indian office records Ons day while
he was hunting buffalo some United
States troopers mistook his band for an
other, which had committed some depre-
dations. In the band were Spoo Tees
parents brothers and sisters and wife
and two papoose. 1t seems lis wife and
babies escaped. but all the others were
massacred. 1t was a long time before the
Indian learned that even his wife and 1T
tie ones had escaped. Meanwhile he swore
vengeance on the palefaces. He killed
the first white man he met after that
He was convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to the death penalty. st the
eleventh hour he was saved by plea of
insanity.

FOREST NOTES

The timber industry represents 81
per cent of the annual production OF
wealth in British Columbia.
Boxmakers in the United States use
more than four and half billion
board feet of lumber each year or
more than one tenth Of the entire
lumber cut of the country.
OF two million sheep annually graz
ed in the state Of Utah, more than q
million are on the national forests, or,
including lambs which are fattening
for market on the forest ranges, over
n million and three quarters
In addition to his own fire detec-
ton system, the supervisor of the pal
isade national forest, Idaho, was mott
fed of each fire by from five to ten diff
ferent local settlers, who thus showed
their cooperation in working for fire
suppression.
The Unita Mountains of Utah, in
Guided within the Wasatch, Uinta, and
Ashley national forests, should be-
come favorlte recreation region, be-
cause of the many small lakes within
depressions scooped out by glacial
drifts. Seventy such lakes can be
counted from Reid's peak, and one
particular township, SO miles square,
contains more than a hundred.
