Arhor Day Celebration.

The wasteful depletion of the for
ests in the tlickly settled portions of
the country that has been allowed for
century past. has caused such scar
city not onl v of timber but even OF
shade rs to attract wide spread atten-
ton In many of the States. Years ago
it became subject for legislative en-
actment. and in some of the messages
Of our presidents during the last ten
years, very grave and earnest su@ges-
tons were made to Congress to provide
the necessary laws for the preservation
of forests. Not only is the scarcity oil
good timber thing to be deplored. but
it is said that the clearing OF such vast
tracts of land has seriously effected the
rain falls and consequently the produc-
tiyeness of the soil in some sections
1t is also urged that when the noun
tain sides become denuded of thelI
shade trees, the Spring thaws are much
more sudden, the mountain streams
much more turbulent, and consequent
ly the annual floods in the Ohio. Mis-
sissippi and other river bottoms
much more general and destructive
than they used to be.
The observance of Arbor day has
therefore been instituted not only rs 4
means of counteracting in measure
the waste of our valuable forests but
as way of educating the people and
especially the young to appreciate the
necessity both Of planting trees and
protecting trees. Although Maryland
did not act among the first in this
matter as sine has often done in many
Others of great import she has provi-
ded by Legislative enactment for the
celebration of Arbor Day, and Govern
or Jackson has Issued the formal pro-
clamation setting apart April 10th for
this purpose. The citizens of the State
are requested TO join in the celebration
of the day, thus instituting custom
that may in course of time become one
of the most pleasant as well rs the
most practical that could engage the
attention of the public. Prof. New,
ell, of the State Board Of Education
several weeks ago issued circular to
the examiners OF the schools in the
different counties and the CITY of Bal
timore, containing suggestions is ia
the appropriate part for school child
rem to take in the celebration. Many
pleasant picnic parties haYe been ar
ranged for the little ones in connec-
ton with the tree planting. which will
no doubt have the effect Of causing Ar
Dor Day to have for them many pleas
ant associations. IF every tree that
shall be planted by the young hands of
Schooi CHiluicH diolc sIi''tIu i've anu
flourish, what an addition they will
be, twenty years hence, to the school
grounds that they may ornament or
the dusty wayside over which they
may cast their grateful shade. Let
the day be observed with Il keen APP
probation of the beautiful custom that
is inculcated by the celebration.

Relieve the Farmers.
ENkMrr THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY AND
IMPROVEMENTS FROM TAXATION.
HYATTsvIIIE. MD., April ls,. 1889.


HYATTsvII.I.E, Md, April lSt. 1889.
EpiroR ENQUIRER Meeting you hastily
a IL" DAYS ago You suggested | should briefly
"uIilne for The ENQUIREI: '.iny ideas on the
subject of taxation OF the farmers plant"
In 1880 and iSS2. the legislature exempted
the manufacturers Of Baltimore from taxation,
state and city, upon their tools, engines and
other machinery. tech ideally called their
plant. The result of this law was to ell.
courage manufacturing in Baltimore 10 a re-
rnarkabie degree. Ii proved beneficial to
Baltimore AMI lis Immediate neighborhood.
But the exemption of S;.GDn.UoJ of proper
erty i'll Baltimore from State taxation has
simply increased the State taxes i'll every 9TH
er part Of our commonwealth. and this must
continue until the resi- of the State IS given
similar exemption.
The purpose and effort of this law applying
10 Baltimore was 10 benefit and develop man
uiaciuring. But the farmer is Is truly man.
uiacturer rs if he lived in a city. He pro.
dnccs. il .uay be corn or wheat instead of
shoes or newspapers. But the fact is that We
need corn and wheat befoIe we do shoes or
newspapers, and the production of these arti-
cics Is as meritorious as anything produced
in city So say, meet the city exemption
with ! similar one for the country. Exempt
barnes. etc, from taxation. Tax the improv-
Ell land not cent more than the unimproved.
This will encourage the farming industry and
discourage the idle holding of land for an ad-
vance. The working farmer will feel that
his labor Will receive its due reward, and
speculation will cease IL lie more reinunera-
tire than industry.
There is no reason why tile hard working
man should he taxed simply because he does
work hard. And We, the farmers. the hard
est working OF all men, bear a heavier bur
den oil taxation than any one else. They
have themselves largely Ia thank for this
When the laws of lS>O aud lSS2 We're passed
there was no one in the legislature to stig-
Sest that farming deserved encouragement as
much As manufacturing, and therefore the
farmers taxes wer. virtually increased while
city manufacturers taxes were diminished. The
next Legislature shonld contain men from our
county who will put all classes of iadustTi-
ous citizens upon favored equality.

1t has long been evident to our ell
terprising citizens, that the mahlies
advantages of Stevens county 10 til'
Immigrant needed only to be tod u
the people of the East ana other sec
lions, in order that we might nave
the settlement which is righlIully
ours.
At this highly Opportune time
Messrs. McCagg & Huston, called on
the TRIBUNE to arrange for II write
up of our town and county and our
business interests.
We examined their credentials
which were OF a high order, ana were
surprised to learn that the mammoth
sheets issued by some Of our contem-
poraries was the work of these TWO
gentlemen; accordingly we closed ar
rangements with them and they are
now engaged on their work.
Their plan is peculiarly their own,
and we must say 1t is the fairest otany
brought to our notice.
All our business men will be called
upon and gwen 1t chance to be repre-
scented and help in this grand enter
prise, and AS this is matter
in which all are, or ought
to be interested, we hope
that our people will give the matter
substantial aid and encouragement.
We have Il grand people, II grand
record, past, present and prospective,
and by strong pull and a pull alto

for ourselves and Stevens county
generally.

The Excursion Line.

Since its advent into the North
western field, about three years ago,
"The Burlington" has come to the
front as the favorite line for large eX-
cursion parties. In June 1888, this
line carried the Northwestern dele
gates to the National Democratic
Convention at st. Louis by special
train, to their entire satisfaction. In
the same month "The Burlington"
was the peoples line to the National
Republican Convention at Chicago,
carrying in four days over four thous-
and delegates and visitors to that
gathering. The Knights of Pythias
also selected it as their line to the
Supreme Lodge meeting at Cincinnati.
This year the teachers of Minnesota
and the Northwest selected "The
Burlington" as the official route to
their great meeting at Nashville.
The reason is that this is the superior
route for all large parties. For tickets
and rates, address w. J. G. Kenyon,

Sales of Agricultural lmple'
m9ntS.

For the purpose Of ascertaining
something in regard to the sales OF
agricultural implements i'll our city
this year, as compared with last ear,
we VISITED the different agricultural
establishments yesterday.
7. A. Callahan reported the sale,
thus far This season, Of seven conn
plcte threshing outfits-engine, sep
arator and all necessary machinery /;
also four extra separators. All OF
these machines are from the manu-
factory Of the J. / Case L. Nj. COM
pany. His sales of 9th farming
machinery are Considerable larger
than last year.
Wolff & Thoele reported that their
sales of selt-bnders were no larger
than last year, not having made
speciality of this machine; but as
regards the sale OF mowers, Fakes,
plows and other farm machinery their
sales have been much larger than last
season. They have also had good
trade in buggies.
House & Youngquist have sold 81
10 mowers, steam
machines complete, sixteen
ralcs, and $4,000 pounds of binding
Irvine, besides a number Of buggies
and u large number of plows and
other agricultural impiiments.
Now the large sales enumerated
above is a sure indication that our
farmers have good reason to believe
that they are to he blessed with album
dant crops this fall otherwise they
would not Invest SO literally in farm
We sincerely hope and
believe that they will not be disap-
pointed in their anticipati"MS.
