THE CONTEST IN TACOMA.

one ticket being called republican and
the other democratic. No citizens ticket

not appear to be lighting the republican
candidate for mayor on the ground OF his
republication, but upon the ground that
he was nominated by Nelson Bennett, the
railroad contractor. The News, demo-
cratic paper, handles this argument as
follows:

In the college lawn the elms have made

the north side being much the stronger.
The box elder Is a valuable pioneer but not
a desirable timber. The ash tree is healthy
and seems well adapted. Eastwood has
grown fairly we'll. The Scotch pine has
succeeded best a.,ong the everRreens.
In the nursery: The white elm did bet
ter thar In the lawn. The cottonwood trees
made the largest growth. The soft maple
trees did not do as well as some others.
The white oak trees made slight growth.
The bass woods were a failure. The wal
nuts we're in fine health and suffered but
little during the winter.
Evergreens attained a growth of from
S.4 to 4 inches. Experiments made in
Washington lead to the conclusion that
better results than the above may be con.
6d'ntly anticipated here.
Washington would be greatly benefited
by emulatinR the Dakota custom. 1t is
too late to begin the work now. as the
tree planting season in this mild climate
is past for this year, but 1t is earnestly
hoped that this important work will not
be overlooked In future. 1t is true that
we have exten sive and valuable forests,
but the variety of native trees is limited
and the cultivation of others is deserving
of all the encouragement which the state
can give.

women. During the progress of trial at
Deer Lodge, few days ago. wherein u
woman vas accused of murder, the judges

he would resign rather than pronounce
the death penalty. But the jury found the

at twelve years in the peniten.
tiary, hence the judge retains his
place on the bench. Most people
will agree that he is over.sentinental, but
the fact is that he is not more so than a
majority Of men, as the history of trials of
women for capital offenses will demon
stfate. The proportion of convictions of
women accused of murder is 30 small AS
to make such trials akin TO the farcical.
As there 10 no good reason why = woman

two. thirds Of that number, including thou

the monotony Of the vast stretches or
naked plain. aud the coming generations
will he borne in mind. and hardy trees OF
slower growth and greater durability will
be set out. These will include ornamental
trees. trees for shade and trees for use as
fuel in the distant future. They will plant
for hedges, for arbors and for orchards,
They will line the roadsides with trees
and plant groves for beauty and
for wind breaks, to shelter the
buildings. Next year, at this time,
as the Young leaves are unfolding.
the future results of the good work will be
more apparent and hundreds who neglect
to join in it to-day will unite with their
neighbors and the number of tree planters
will be greatly increased. The consequence
will be that within short time every
home in town and country will be beauti.
fed.
In this connection some facts made
known ip an official report of the Dakota
agricultural college will doubtless be of in

A "FORMER MAssILLONIAN" OF East

REVIEW "a to a recent statement pub
lished In this newspaper 10 the effect that
in fifty years Massiilon, Ohio, has built
up city of 5000 inhabitants, while Spo-
kane Falls in less than FIVE years has grown
to be Eve time, that large. He adds that
Massillon In 1880 had nearly 1000 inhab-
itants, ~ shown by the census. and its
population now is estimated at
from 1900 to $1,000; and also
that as near ne the writer OF
the letter can learn Spokane Falls has only
about 1900 inhabitants, making this
city smaller than Massilon. The REVIEW
obtained its information regarding Mas
sillon from printed authority that il re-
cognized throughout the United States as
very generally accurate and reliable. II il
bias done Massillon an injustice the RE-
VIEW is ready to make the proper cor.
rection. However, If the former Massil-
lonian" had taken the least bit of
trouble to look up the facts
he would mol have fallen into the error
Oh It Spokane Falls has a population of
only 1900. The most conservative Ruess-
ers estimate this city's population at not
less than $1,000, while nearly all VINO
have looked it over are convinced that
more than 20. 900 people are residing here.

handsome little fellow, with fohg,

coat He carried white paper bag OF
confectionery, which he opened and
began oEeat. No sooner did he spy
the boy of ebony than he slid off from
his seat, ran up to him and piled his
black hands full of rnarshman ows from
his bag. Just as the car stopped he
regained his mothers side, and said.

evidence of his sympathy, for he had
only four mallows left and his face
shone pity and generous feeling

needle work since the establishment Of
societies in different parts of the
country similar, though more limited
in scope, to the South Kensington, in

especially of the crewel stitch, of our
grandmothers' day, was a marked adj
vance in genuine work. Many of the
daintiest articles of household adorn-
ment owe their beauty to the success
full employment of decorative fabric
and are without any embroidery. This
is true of the lovely photograph-frame
