THE TIE BUSINESS OF
MEDICINE BOW NATIONAL
FOREST Is ON BOOM

Records for eleven years for tim
Der cut and sold on the Medicine
Bow National Forest, in southern
Wyoming. according to the 1922 re-
port which has Just been prepared by
Executive Assistant Louis E. Cough
lin. for submission to the District
Forester at Denver, upon the return
of Supervisor Hilton from his vaca-
! ton.
Timber sold exceeds the previous
highest year (191S) by 47,SS7,OO0
board feet having a value of SAL
424.76. The value of the timber cut
in 1922 exceeds the high Of 1921 by
$1,737.29. The amount sold in 1922
totals 67,295. 900 board feet having a
value of $~197,819.21. The major
] portion of this consists of railroad
ties sold to contractors to supply the
Union Pacific and all of which ties
are treated at the preserving plant of
the railroad at Laramie. The Fox
Park Timber Company, Otto Lumber
Company, Standard Timber Com
pany, Ossa Nelson and Stroup &
Sheppard all of whom operate III the
region tributary to the Colorado,
wyoming and Eastern Railroad send
their ties in over that railroad to
Laramie while the Wyoming Timber
company of Hanna, which operates
on Douglas Creek and the west side
or the Medicine Bow National Forest,
drives its timber products through
the North Platte River and it's tribu-
taries to Fort Steele where delivery
is made to the Union Pacific. The
timber business Of the Medicine Bow
Forest has been increasing on a large
scale since 1919, but the squirt in
1922 is little short of ~ense .ional,
especially whom the fact that two
large 6oH-r""rH wrie.. ate "ending
are not fncluueu IN une repon,.
Since Laramie is the principal out
fitting point for these operations and
all the ties are treated at the Lar
annie plant, the figures mean much to
Laramie as an indicator of increased
business activity during 1928 and
succeeding years. The Importance
of the Il of the Medicine Bow
National Forest in its relation to
local business activity is also en-
phasized. 1t will be noted that the
figures for timber sold are 800 per
cent greater than those of the
previous highest year.
The Medicine Bow National For
est occupies ar enviable location with
reference to tie supply for the Union
Pacific as well as mining prop sup
ply for the coal mines along that
road. 1t will require quite a few
years yet to crop the timber on the
Medicine Bow tributary to the Colo.
RADIO, Wyoming and Eastern. When
this is done there is another large
body tributary to the c. w. & E. on
the Colorado National Forest in the
North Park region. Fox Park Tim
Der Company and Osea Nelson are
now operating there in small way.
There is then the Rock Creek and
Medicine Bow River drainage and
the North Fork Of the Little Laramie
to crop later, what is known as the
Platte River Working Circle which

KEEP AT 1T

In every town there is a sign at
the railroad crossing that reads:
Look out for the cars" Now every
body in town, and all who passed
that way, knew that it was a rail-
road crossing the day the line was
laid. When the sign was put up it
took two days, and no longer. for
every inhabitant to become familiar
with it. In a week every small child
could read and spell it backward.
Did the railroad take it down? No:
II they had, the warning would have
been forgotten in a week, and
smashups and damage suits would
have resulted. One-time advertise
ments act the same way. You must
Keep everlastingly at it like the rail
road crossing sign.

The stability of the increase is
recognized with the consistency for
the figures for timber cut from 1919
to 10 inclusive. From these fig
ures and contracts pending the indi-
cations are that 1928 will eclipse
1922.
The new year will witness the
launching of another firm in the
business OF tie production. 1t con-
sists of a partnership the members
OF which are Gus Stroup of Laramie
and j. l.. Sheppard formerly man
ager of the Standard Timber Com
pany's Foxpark camp. E. A. Harm
den will continue operation of a
sawmi1l using sawlogs produced by
the new firm as we'll as cutting some
ties and props for his own account.
A feature OF the 1922 business was
a try-out of a small portable sawmill
manufactured by the American Saw
mill Machinery Company to make
sawed ties in the woods. This was
tried out by the Fox Park Timber
Company and as a result orders have
been placed by several of the other
operators.

Platte within the Medicine Bow,
Colorado, Hayden. Routt and Arap-
aho National Forests. The Wyoming
Timber Company is the only operator
in this region at present. Millions
Of ties are available in this territory
and all Of them will come to Lara
mte for preservative treatment.
Under the intensive s%ilvical man
agement of the Forest Service, and
the protection from forest fires a
very important factor, long before
the last logging unit in the Platte
Circle is cut over the succeeding crop
in the Foxpark district will be ready
for the axe. even considering opera
lions on a greatly increased volume.
The policy followed is such as to in
sure stability of supply.
The following %tabulations show
the growth of the business on the
Medicine Bow Forest in the last elev-

Skeleton View Of Now Curti.s
Pursuit. Plane, Showing Metal
Construction,

The test performance Of a new
Curtiss Pursuit Plane has caused a
sensation in the Army and Navy SER
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
at Detroit, in which a new an-Ar~"ri-
can motc- rt4Led ir = r
places, it has been expected that
military planes of a super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance of the
first pursuit ship Of a series surpasses
expectation.
In many respects, this aeroplane is
a departure from precedent. 1t uses
the same Curtiss motor used in the
racing ships at Detroit. 1t is equipped
with wing radiators, the most radical
advance in the art Of cooling a motor
since 1917, and which reduces the
resistance Of the air almost to zero.
These features were expected. The
construction, however, Is said to pos
sess, also, a g feature. in that the
entire machine can be stored for a
period of twenty years, II necessary,
