TO FINISH MONASTERY
Cradle Of the New Bulgaria Is
Bridge Which Separates from
Ancient Bulgarian Kings.
WAS. OVERCOME BUT ONCE

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
Ria, Bulgaria, June 1.-THE great
task of Risky Monastery is about to
be finished" said Father Eugenius to
the correspondent. This monastery
is the cradle of the new Bulgaria. 1t
is the bridge which spans the period
Of suffering and subjugation which
divides the Bulgaria OF today from
the great kingdom of the ancient Bull
garian kings"
Father Eugenius is the head Of this
religious institution, one of the
worlds famous monasteries, which is
located about fourteen. miles from
Ria. His predecessors have presided
over as many as 800 Greek Catholic
monks. Today the monastery houses
only thitty-five. 49,.
During the rule Of the Turks, the
monks from the monastery were sta
toned in every Bulgarian town and
large village, teaching. the Bulgars
their language and keeping alive their
faith" continued the stalwart SUI
perior. Since then conditions have
changed. Today Our church has been
re-estabiished and the government
maintains good schools. With that
has passed the necessity of keeping
the large numbers we had formerly"
Thousand Years Old.
Risky Monastery was founded by
Ivan Risky between 946' and 1000 A.
D. Ivan Of the Ria Desert, as he was
called, was an ascetic, who acquired
the reputation of being . wise man.
He is said, to have lived in = cabin
near the site Of the present monastery.
Invited once to visit the court of the
king of the Bulgarians, Ivan replied
that the king had better come to him.
Around this man of force soon COL
lected a number of disciples. With
them he1ounded the monastery. King
John Shishmann, in 1879, explained
the superior, gave to the monastery
the entire surrounding, then consist
ing of large forests of beech, oak and
pine, covering the slopes Ct the Ria
mountain range. At the same time
the monastery was granted the right
of autonomy. A parchment some six
feet in length is displayed as proof of
this.
Sultan Murad continued the estab-
iishnteat in its rights, as a token of
which he presented the monastery
with a five-foot candle OF wax, which
is also still to be seen in the library
of the monastery. Little by little the
wealth of the institution increased, so
did the number of its buildings. In
1882 the monastery was almost totally
destroyed by fire, nothing remaining
intact with the exception of a tower
built in 1887. In rebuilding the mon
astery, the old walls were made use
of and care was taken to preserve the
original Byzantian architecture.
Four Stories High
Today the establishment forms an
irregular quadrangle around an in
terror court of about 8,000s quare yards
Most of the wings are four stories
high. Lofty arcades, supporting the
galleries which give connections to

ings, give the whole majestic aspect.

sum, 81 ,40l was turned over to tn
state for county, school and road pur.
poses and the balance was placed with
the state secretary of agriculture for
building roads and trails for the bene-
fit of communities in and about the
forest reserves. The total receipts
from the national forests last year
were nearly $2,500000.
The bureau Of forestry says. "Jack
pine, in twenty years, should make
one first class and one second class
post per tree. These may safely be
valued at 8 and 4 cents, respectively,
or IL cents per tree. Suppose, then,
that $500 trees are planted per acre,
at a cost of s. per thousand. OF these
80 per cent are jack pine and 20 per
cent yellow pine. Suppose again, that
80 per cent Of the jack pine and so per
cent Of the yellow pines succeed. The
1000 jack pines, cut at twenty years,
give a gross income Of $l92 an acre.
This is sufficient to cover the cost Of
plantation, with per cent interest,
and protection of 10 cents per acre per
year and leave a net annual income Of
$4.87. The 800 yellow pines per acre
are left, and being freed from interest
bearing debt, may be grown to almost
any age with reasonable assurance Of
profit. While these are rough calcula-
tons and subject to error, it is not diff
ficult to see that the growing of tim

lis being built strong and neat wire
fences. The pioneers set out the Usage
hedge fence as carly as possible after
their arrival, and it was not long COM
paratively until these fences were
large enough to trim and furnish all
the posts needed locally, and for a
good many" years a good many cars
have been shipped out annually. At
Stella Dick Curtis ships from eight to
ten cars annually. u
At the price land has become in the
older settled portions of the state, as
in Richardson county, farmers feel
that they cannot afford to allow a
hedge fence to grow and rob the fer
tility Of the soil for a rod or more
into the field. Besides the orchards
and groves afford windbreaks and the
demand for posts is not SO great
locally. In pioneer days, the only tim
Der of importance was along the Mis-
souri, FLYER, or bigger streams, forest
fires from time to time killing all that
which would start along the small
streams. Pioneers hauled lumber from
the Missouri river as far west as near
Pawnee City, a distance Of thirty-fivs
or forty miles. And some pioneers,
who did not live too far away, would
buy a piece Of timber along the Mis-
souri, and in the winter go there and
get posts and building material.
As to the hedge fences, some, are
killed by trimming to the ground and
burying over with straw and dirt, and
a stump puller is used by some farm
ers. A well-trimmed hedge is a thing
of beauty along the roadside, but
when such a fence is i'll kept it is
very unsightly.

it is now on a solid basis. Strange
as it may seem, the margin Of profit
