IT is impossible to predict the extreme
prices to which timber may advance before
the present generation passes away, We
have before ne statement from on English
paper Of the prices realized for thirty OAK
trees sold at auction in Bursbley Psrk, as
follows One tree brought $3.50, another
1910. a third 1924; the whole thirty brought
$4,000, averaging $3.50 each. These must
have been large trees, but smaller trees are
proportionately valuable. There is bu'littie
doubt that within q century or less, umbe'
will be as scarce in America as it is now in
Europe, and !. is no. probable that sui
foient Substitute will ever be found to oc
cupy its place in the industries Of mankind
Therefore plant trees, and plaut the righ
sort, especially those most required in build

Rock River Valley.

Two score years hare not passed since
the Rock River Valley was first settled by
the white man. Illinois was then part OF
the great unsettled west, aud Wisconsin
was . wilderness Of forest aud prairie. ln
those days IL was Q great undertaking for q
young man TO make journey beyond Ohio
into the far west, aud II was seldom that
the bold pioneer vsntured as far beyond
the pale Of civilization as the Rock River
country. Yet then, as nov, the advance
was westward, and those whO we're Ilrvd VI
delviug amongst tho rocks OF Ns~ England, ,
Psnnsylvanla aud New York, hearing
stories Of the almost fabulous richness OF
the Rock River Valley, turned thor faces
westward, and, by long, wssrIsome jjurnies
with lumber wagons, accomplished the
great distance, aud selected their homes
on the rolling prairie or ia the forest.
The suffsriugs aud hArdships of those
early settlers were without number Des-
titation, want Of market for their pro-
duct., prairie h7ss, malaria, ague, ievers--
all combined to make the life on the Rock
River prairiss uninviung-even sometimes
burdensome. But thoss who were so tor

and hardships, in the appreciation of their
land, the drawing near OF markets for their
produce, the growing hsAlthfulness Of the
climate, aud the multiplication Of comforts
and laxuriss about them. These forty
years have wrought great change in this
