making preparations for putting In
groves of trees. Such action is to be
highly commended. The man who
will make four or five trees to grow
where none grew before, will rank as
benefactor in the years to come
There Is no land owner who cannot
afford to reserve u portion of his land
for tree planting, and he who does 1t
will i'm a few years be chock-full OF
good feeling toward himself and the
rest of mankind for having displayed
so much foresight. Some Of our far
mers who were so enterprising as to
set out grove of trees few years ago,
find that their land is greatly enhanc.
ed in value today and as they look out
upon the handsome little forest with
its branches waving and signing in the
February winds, they are glad
enel with the thought that not only
sufficient firewood and fence post
material isat their very doors, but that
summer is approaching and that this
little forest will be like an oasis in
identifying the landscape and afford
ing luxurious shade. What a vast
Transformation scene" would be pro-
duced in five short years if the far
mers would 90 In work this spring
and set out a clump of trees on each
barren knob or towering hill top.
We hope to see tree planting greatly
increased each year until the face Of
the country shall have been trans
formed into 49, Eden country it can
sd easily be, e with the aid Of trees.
Farmers, take this advice good natur-
edly and endeavor to do your part not
only in enriching yourselves but in
identifying the whole land.

Hell's Half Acre, this being the nearest
reachable point within the park to the

Uncle Dan FloweTree. Of Helena.
Mont, one Of the best known cattle men
in the country and especially familiar
with Montana grazing, was IN st. faul,.
recently, supervising the arrival O. q
couple Of trains loaded with 80 ftt
beevess consigned TO the Chicago rrlaI.-
ket, most of them, but stopped as the
stock yards here for q short rest. &
number OF pelsons visited the yards,
and II butcher was SO enthusiastically
pleased With the looks Of one Of the
steers that he said, "Flowegree, I'll give
you 500 foF that fellow whereupon
Uncle Dan said, Take him right
along" and lie did at the price named.
A reporter seized an opportunity tor 9
little cattle talk with Mr.. ,Flowerree,
and the gentleman confirmed the state
ment that the last year had beer the
best Montana had ever known as to
grazing interests, and the winter n
spring couldn't have been better it the
weather had been made TO the order Of
the beef owners. In consequence, the
animals were fat before the grass turned
green, and have been gaining il solidity
ever since, 80 that the two and three
year Odds are. abnormally heavy. Owing
to the mild weather, also, the percen-
tage OF saved calves has been very large,
and the increase consequent has been
pleasingly great Mr.. Flowerree also
said that the increase III Montana was
not as great as further south, by several
per cent, and explained by saying that
whereas i'll Colorado eighty Of the calves
dropped from q herd of one hundred
cows were saved, and in Texas wen
more, reaching eighty-fve or ninety. IN
Montana seventy was . good saving,
and If the weather CHANGED to heseyere,
a smaller percentage was noleds Last
year the saving was seventy, In some
Instance more, but it wa not to be OK
pected that In SO northern a latitude the
WELD would ever be IS good IS further
south. But the meat Is superior TO that
gathered from lower ranges, and Of acre
age suitable for grazing-tIick, with suc.
culent, nutritious grasses, and watered
by good st~reams-there was a boundless
uuantity.-p;oneer Press.

Al the meeting OF the commissioners

and the contract for the same awarded to
Aieesrs. Griffith & Caldwell, their price
being $500. There were three bids.
altogether, one OF them only q little over
1000, but It included simply one span
across the main channel, which the
board did not deem adequate. The
plans and specifications presented by
| Messrs. Griffith & Caldwell were exc

| vide for 4 bridge 242 feet in length, TO be
built about 800 yards below the cd saw

is to DO constructed in the best manner
throughout, and completed by the first
Of April, 1888, the contractors giving
bond in the sum OF 81 800 for the faith
flli performance of the contract. We
congratulate the people Of Belt creek and
beyond upon securing at last this much
needed public improvement, and 3
hasty examination Of the plans and speci-
fications fully convinces US that the
bridge will be one that will stay for
many years.
