The new button will be silver for those who have been wound- ed and bronze to all others. In announcing the new button the war department ruled that all sol- diers would be required to ma pli- cation for them on forms gs ially prepared, but Mr. Mondell secured a modification to the extent of getting buttons for all whose discharges he had personally handled in connection with additional travel pay or bonus claims. As soon as the supply is re- ceived, all who took up th matters with the Wyoming for the special blank form, of applica- tion.

The others listed were the Big Horn, Hayden and Shoshone. “Development of the lumber in- justry in this state has been gradual,” said Mr. Hill today. “The growth of rail transportation and the improve- }ments in mechanical equipment will very naturally increase the output. However, there is a wonderful op- portunity for the development of this industry to great proportions by those who have hed experience in this par- tic line. Many streams are suffi ciently large to handle a_ great amount of timber in the spring. “Transportation facilities are im- portant in connection with this in- dustry on account of the large bulk and weight in comparison with the | value of the logs and lumber. A great |deal of the log is waste, so that saw- ing it into lumber near the point of origin is necessary. “In many sections, however, lum- |bering depends on moving a small mill from place to place. The wood- Yand area of Wyoming covers about 13 per cent of the total area of the state, end consists mostly of white and yellow pine, spruce, aspen and wedar.” | It is estimated that the standing timber in the national forests of Wy- ‘oming is now as follows: Ashley, 9,- 078,000 feet; Big Horn, 1,118, 000; Black Hills, 347,300,00) ger, 605,000,000 ; Caribou. 2,838,378,000; Shoshone, 1,355,742,- 000; Targhee, 548,949000; Teton, 6,317,189,000; Mashakie, 1,366,200,- 000; Wyoming, 1,433,726,000.
