Next Tuesday will be Arbor Day. For all
general purposes of shade trees, the native
trees are the best Their culture is easy and
success is practically certain if you have
| fairly good soil. Get all the roots you can
especially the fibrous ones within two feet of
the body Do not let let them get dry. Keep
them covered from the sun. Dig holes two
| feet deep, a little larger than the roots will
| 60 in in their natural position. Cut back the
| tops freely, but not to pole. Set the trees
| trife deeper than they were before taking
| up. Throw in dirt to cover the roots and
| then wet down thoroughly. Put in remain
| der of dirt and tramp it down. Drive
stake and fasten your tree to it with light,
| strong strips Of gunny sack, SO the wind will
not bend the tree over, disturbing the new
roots and letting in air to kill them. Give
| plenty of water first two years, at least, and
better for five. Nine out of ten native trees
| so treated will grow from saplings to three
feet girth in ten years.

with catarrhal fever. His condition became

Larabie thinks good deal of that boy, and
he is a hoy worth thinking well Of. Mr..
Reed telegraphed the situation to him at San
| Francisco. He took the first train home.
| Meantime the disease reached its crisis, and
when Mr.. L. reached Ogden there was
marked improvement, and he was SO noti-
fed The Central Pacific train had missed
connections with the o. s. N. at Ogden. A
| lay.over Of ten or twelve hours was inevita-
| BILE and detention at Pocatello possible.
| Mr.. Larabie hired special, left Ogden at II
o'clock a. m. Wednesday and reached Deer
| Lodge at 8 a. m. Thursday. "Don" was and
is still improving. DR.. Owings has been in
| charge of the case, and DR.. Amsden, of Butte,
| was called in consultation. For time there
was some complication of pneumonia. It is
