Excerpt from National Forests of Wyoming Medicine Bow National Forest keep in operation a large treating plant in Laramie. Mine props and timbers from the region are important throughout a wide territory. And while the lumber, railroad ties, and mine timbers from the Medicine Bow Forest are fitting into the general scheme of things miles from their point of origin the national forest itself is untiringly building up, layer by layer, new supplies of wood and providing for those near by, and for many others who visit it every year, the benefit of invigorating coolness and inspiring scenery.
