The Australian Gum Tree, or
 Eucalyptus.

In Arizona where timber for build ing purposes, railroads and telegraph line is so scarce and costly il would seem that forest culture could be made most beneficial and remunerativt branch of industry. THE CITIZEN has urged this matter before and recently devoted one or two columns to the culture of the white willow. The Gum tree is of very rapid growth and great use. Large tracts of land in southern Arizona now idle, and that will not be required for agricultural purposes for at least ten years could, with little expeIse and labor be plant. ed in forests If Gum and Willow. Fifty acres of Ind so planted would secure its owne's comfortable fortune in five or sevenyears. 4 forest would grow well win the trees four feeI apart, but evel allowing eight feet between them, tS0 trees could be plan ted on an acre, ifly acres would con- tam 34,0O0 trees,
 Telegram pOle and Yigas are now selling in Flo.ence at from $3, to s, each. Witt the building of the railroad the demand for poles and ties will increase, but if we estimate the value of each tree at only S1.50 the total value of forest of fifty acres with trees eight feet apart would be S51 900 and witt trees four feet apart S1O2,OO
 The Central Pacific Railroad Com pany planted 100000 trees, chiefly eucalypus, along the line of their road last season, and they have ordered over 100000 moR, which will be set out the coming season.
 The Pen and Flow has a very lengthy article or their subject from which we clip the following:
 The rapid growth of many kinds of Gum Trees Is remarkable The seed lIngs grow up from the very fine seeds, as vigorously as pOplars or willows. If the seedlings are picked out and well treated, they will attain a height of four or five feet, or more, in one year. Such well-cultivated plants will grow up ID three years to twelve or sixteen feet, with a prop0rtiOnally strong stem. The vigorous growth of the Gum Tree can be seen in cOun- tries where, in general, other forest trees make only comparatively limit ed growth. In certain localities of the 'Crimet and Little Asia, where vegetation $ exposed to sharp winds of the Black Sea, though other trees show a rather slow growth, the Euca- lyptus, even, under such unfavorable circumstanoes, develops vigorously. In Algeria, where extended plantations of Eucalyptus have been established, they prove well adapted for that climate, even in dry and sterile soil.

A HACKENsACK man was at mid night creeping softly along the bedroom floor, on his hands and knees, and was feeling tenderly under the bureau for something he had hidden there the evening before; but his wife woke and said, Peter, what under the heav- ems are you doing?"

Flowers.

There is no season in the year That lifts mans heart to heaven SO nea,
 As summer: When flowers about our pathway grow. And roses on the hedgerows blow;
 Sweet summer! And as it's perfumed breath doth rise, In silent homage to the skies
 Up-steaIng, A thousand memories forth start, Long-hidden pictures in the heart,
 Revealing. Where lilac chains with scented links, Or treasure tun Of red clove pink,
 or heather, 'Mongst which we played, fine storie Of parted ones who once did dwell
 Together. Again the teathery seeds away Are puffed to tell the time ot day,
 Whilst golden Hued our lips into balls we twine, Or part the horns in columbine
 EnfOlden! Whilst through the woods the whole day long The cuckoo sings an idle song,
 Awaking The echo Of a dulcet peal, That rang ere hearts began 10 feel
 HeartbreakIng. And so it comes to pass that we With half sigh the flowers see,
 Half gladness; And round our hearts they twine and twine, Until their beauty makes divine
 Our sadness.

Taking everything in consid- eration we think we have better pros. poets than any other mining camp on the Pacific slope Everything with us has the appearance of thrift and enter prise.

THE Southern Pacific is a branch of the Central Pacific. It was started for the purpose of killing the Texas and Pacific, and to thus choke of competi- tion. It is part of a giant monopoly for which the nation has already done vastly too much, and to put more power into its hands would be a national sin and a national calamity. The public interest demands that we should have another road to the Pacific, and it also demands that the new road should be entirely separate and distinct from the old, 10 end the present monopoly by a healthy competition.-Leavenwor Times.
