The Trees to Plant About the House,

shall not attempt to advise any one
to plant this or that tree about his
house, for what | might prefer might
not suit him as well rs something else
| shall merely mention some of our ma
tive trees which | know to be good.
The sugar Maple is probably the gcner-
nj favorite. Ii grows quite rapidly,
when once established is always symme-
trical, and has pleasing foliage which is
seldom infested with worms or insects
IL is Il good tree, and one that is easily
transplanted. In several respects con-
slider the water or soft Maple preferable.
1t is never quite so prim in aspect rs the
sugar Maple, being inclined to divide
into several branches of equal size rath-
er than keep to one main trunk; these
branches, or divisions of the trunk,
spread out in all directions and give
the tree much more graceful charac-
ter than its cousin has. In the fall il be-
comes a miracle of gorgeous color. We
have no tree that can equal it in this
respect. 1t is more rapid grower
than any other variety of Maple.
The Oak is Il grand tree for use about
the house. Its foliage is rich and beau
full, and always clean and healthy. It
is not considered rapid grower as q
general thing. but / think the reason
why it does not grow faster is generally
to be found i'm q careless method of
transplanting. ! have seen trees which
came up along the fences, making a
wonderful growth every year, and l
think those in our yards would do the
same if we took proper care to preserve
their roots i'm removing them from their
native quarters. An Oak, well estab-
lished, is good for all time to come, I'M
less something happens to it, and it in
creases in beauty yearly.
The Elm is one of our most graceful
trees. and is us easily transplanted rs
the Maple. 1t is also rapid grower.
Everybody admires it, but for some rea-
son, it is not used as much as the Maple
l am delighted to see that it is becoming
more popular yearly. here at the West.
New England people are making their
love for this beautiful tree felt in their
new homes, by the extensive use they
make of it, to the exclusion of the Ma
pie, which settlers from other parts of
the country have adopted us their favor
lite to the almost total neglect of the Elm.
would under no circumstances use
the Lombardy Poplars. They are never
graceful. They grow rapidly but that
is their only merit. They soon begin to
fail, and i'm II few years you have TO re-
set them. | would much prefer the
Balm of Gilead, and that is not tree
wonld recommend strongly. But it is
found all over the West, so far as have
been. transplants easily, grows rapidly,
and has pungent, aromatic smell that
is quite agreeable. II grows symmetri-
cally and makes good shade, but its
foliage is not pleasing after july.

THE PIONEER PRESS AT REDUCED
PRICES.
The Great Northwestern Daily Wheels In
to Line with Popular Prices, but Will
fully maintain It's High Standard.

fully maintain Its High standard.
The following, from Pioneer Press
editorial Of July 18th, tells its own story,
and it will be welcome story to many
who have wanted the Pioneer Press, but
who have felt that its price made the
luxury too expensive:
ANNOUNCEMENT.
Following the example of the leading
New York and Chicago dailies, the price
of the Pioneer Press will, from this day
forth, be reduced TO eight dollars per
year for the daily, and To ten dollars for
the daily and Sunday issues, with CORE
spending reductions for fractional parts
of Il year. This reduction is not made
in response to any public demand or To
any complaint of the subscribers of the
| Pioneer Press that il has stood alone i'm
the Northwest i'm adhering To the higher
| prices till recently standard with all the
great dailies. On the contrary, il il the
unanimous testimony of the agents and
circulators of the Pioneer Press that its
great superiority over all other news
papers in its field is SD manifest and SO
universally conceded that the question
OF price is never raised. No more con
elusive proof could be given ofthe strong
hold which the Pioneer Press has ac-
quired upon public favor by ITS recOg-
nized superiority i'm every department of
journalism than the complete failure of
cut-throat competition to make any I'M
preston upon the solid phalanx of it's
circulation. But the Pioneer Press is not
content TO maintain its circulation I'M
impaired. By offering Il paper vastly
superior to any of its local competitors
at the reduced price announced to-day,
1t hopes to add many new subscribers To
its already magnificent list. In common
with the leading daiies of New York
and Chicago, ii recognizes the fact that
this is an era of low prices, and il owes
it to its large and generous constituency
and to the entire public To furnish them
the leading newspaper of this great
Northwestern empire ut least as cheaply
as the leading newspapers of Chicago
are furnished to their readers. 1t owes
them the further duty, while reducing
the price, of maintaining the high stand
ard of the Pioneer Press. twill do more
than this. 1t will furnish its readers a
better paper for less money than heCeto-
fore. 1t proposes to deserve not only
all the support it has been receiving,
but Il large and substantial increase OF
popular favor.
