RAINS PROVE SALVATION
OF THE CUSTER FOREST

The spring rains have proved the
salvation Of over half the forests in
the Vuster reserve, says J. w. stan
ton, forest supervisor. Mr.. Stanton
has just returned to Miles City from
a trip over the Ashland district Of
the Custer forest. He made trip
through the same district about this
time last year and he states that at
that time nearly half the trees had
been killed due to the drOuth and the
early cold weather of 1918. The
trees affected were the yellow pines
between the ages of five and fifteen
years. This meant a great loss but
it is different this year since the rains
have added millions of dollars to the
value of the forests.
Mr.. StontOn says that the fire dan
ger is great because of the heavy
stand of grass and the frequent cleo
trio storms that occur in the Custer
forest. The rangers are spotting their
fire eQuipmet and are ready to COM
bat the f1amee o. minutes notice.
The supervisor says that the for
est ranges are in excellent shape and
the stock are doing fine. 1t is his
belief that the latest stock that will
go to market will go from the forest
ranges.

NO REiIEE FOR WOOL
MARKET TILL. FALL

The wool situation has reached a
critical stage and no immediate re-
lief is in sight, is the opinion OF an
eastern wool buyer WHO is now i'll
Miles City.
Wool buyers are refusing to make
purchases, he said, and will continue
to carry out that sort of program un-
til in the fall. The clippings for the
season are being accepted for ship
ment by firms but they refuse to
make prices or do any actual buying
because ii they did it might mean
disaster to all parties concerned he
stated. The wool business is like
all others, in one respect. and that
is, the whole business is hanging in
suspense until after the presidential
elections are over. because the re-
suits OF an election are of profound
importance to business, according to
statements given out by the party in
an interview If a higher tariff is
placed ON wool, he said, "Or if it is
automatically promised, the wool
question will come to satisfactory
end for all concerned. But If the
people do not get it. it is difficult to
say what will happen. see no re-
lief until after election.
Il Relieve Chicago to be the wool
center now" he said, instead OF
Boston, and the time is at hand when
all will see the same way. the pro-
duction has fallen off in this section
due to the influx of farmers who arr
cutting down the ranges"

COALWOOD LOANS 70
HUAlDfNGERS, SCORE 3d.


An excellent exhibition of the ma
tional sport was witnessed on the
diamond in Broadus Sunday after
neon whom the Humdingers defeated
the Coalwood nine by a score Of 5 to
3. There was good playing with
members Of both teams, with the
hOnors in the batteries probably be-
ing held by the Humdfngers. BY his
homer" in the sixth inning, Clar-
ence Russell put the game on ice for
the Humdingers, bringing In the de-
Gliding two scores. The game was
notable for its absence OF errors,
and for the near-professionalism of
the amateurs. Many a league game
has been much less interesting.
The honors between the two teams
are now evenly divided, Coalwood
having defeated the Humdingers by
a narrow margin at the Roundup last
year.
The lineup of the two teams last
Sunday was as follows:
Coalwood-Chas. Pugh, S.; Faye

ficiated as umpires.
COalwOd scored one run In the first
inning and two runs in the seventh
The Humdingers put one across the
home plate in the first, two in the
fifth and two in the sixth.
Second Game
Immediately following the stellar
attraction second ball game was
on between the second nine OF Coal
wood and a team from BrOadus. The
result is sad tale for the Broadus
team. 1t only took seven innings <or
COalwood to demonstrate its super
iOrity to the tune of Z to 4. The
Broadus bunch was game however,
and offered no alibis. Harry Allen
umpired with satisfaction to both
teams.
