How IS IT TO BE DONE There is a
vast deal of very valuable timber GO
ing to waste in all our creek and river
bottoms Some of the finest walnut
trees in the country are cut down and
split into rails and fence posts. That
is bad enough, but It is not as bad as
the fact that the crotches and unsplit-
able pieces are lying and rotting on
the ground. Those logs ought to be
saved. Walnut stumps are worth saw
ing. These TO us) unavoidable parts
of the walnut are very valuable in the
east. They make the very finest We
neering. Every OIL snarly piece now
rotting in onr bottoms would bring q
good round price In some parts of the
country. We do not know Just how
these things can be utilized. We are
not sure whether or not it would pay
to saw them here. Nor do We know
that it would pay to ship them unsaw.

Luther's eating house will soon be
like the Dutchman's knife. The
Dutchman would have it that he had
the very knife his grandfather brought
from the old country, though it had
had two knew blades and one new
handle since it crossed old salty. The
eating house is the same, but it has
been turned around, added to, raised
ur, re-roofed, resided, re-plastered
and repainted. 1t is as good as new,
though it is the same old house.

HALLBERG's.-There is, perhaps, not
4 more extensive or successful fruit,
flower and vegetable raiser in Kansas
than z. G. Hallberg, near this city.
\ stroll through his grounds will con-
vince any one of the truth of the
above assertion. His grounds, hot
houses, green houses, propagating
houses, etc., are extensive and in first
class order. His thousands of trees
give promise of an abundant yield the
present season. His peach, pear and
other trees are loaded with buds. He
has larger variety of flowers thar
can be found anywhere in the State
so far as our knowledge extends. Ma
ny of these are now in bloom, and ma
ture is rapidly turning his place into 1
lovely garden. We trust he may real
a rich reward this season for his year
of toll and industry.

such enormous fines that defendants
are obliged to appeal, thus costing the
city over $1,000, in costs and attorneys

not think so highly of the Judges de-
cisions. While If the fines had been
reasonable, they would most likely
have been paid, thus saving the city .
