ARB0R DAY.

The absence of formal proclama-
tion appointing an Arbor day need
not, and should not deter the farmers
and the residents of populous cen
ters from carrying out the excellent
idea and purpose of the day. Each
in his own way may do an excellent
work of this kind beneficial alike to
his own interests and to those of
the community in which he lives.
Handsome shade trees set out
systematically by the country road
sides and along either side Of the
private farm roads add materially to
the general attractivencss of the
locality aud to the value Of farming
lands. There can be no doubt that
the farmer living near a growing
town who sets out parallel rows OF
trees across his farm at points where
roads may hereafter be needed, dis.
plays excellent judgment and fore
sight, and ensures much increased
valuation Of his real estate in the
future.
1t is equally certain that the
jndiclous planting CT trees in every
village and town, both along the
public highways and on private
lands, is most valuable and mex
peusive method of making the vii.
lage or town attractive to those
seeking residence, and exerts al
influence in building it up and pro-
noting its prosperity not often fully
appreciated,
by all means, let Arbor day be
observed by individuals,ev though
there be no organized or concentrate
ed action and no proclamation by
the Goyemor.-Rulland Herald.

CALIFORNIA TRAM ROBBERS.
They Kill One Passenger and Fatally
lpjurc Another.

DELANo, Cal, Feb. 23.-At train No. II
left Pixley at 7 o'clock last night five men
boarded it. Two on the engine covered the
engineer and iircmen with revolvers. When
about two miles from the station the train
was brought to a stop, and the other three
men entered the express car and ordered the
messenger to open the box, covering him with
revolvers. Dynamite bombs We're exploded
under the cars, and during the eX-
element several passengers ran toward
the front, two of whom were shot.
Il. S. Bentley, of Modesto, was probably IA
tally wounded, and Charles Gabc, of Poso,
was instantly killed. The train was run
back to Pixley, where the news of the rob
berry and killing was left. The passenger
coaches were not entered.
Another account states that but two men
were concerned in the robbery, and that
while one remained on the engine the other
made his way to the express car, and by eX-
ploding bombs under the car so frightened
the messengers that they speedily opened
the doors.
Bentley, who was fatally wounded, is a
deputy constable here. The amount secured
by the robbers is unknown. a posse is in
pursuit from here.

passed a high eulogy on the building yards
of America, adding: mo navy has dis
played morc original genius in obstruction

turcr then proceeded to compare the English

French dock yards the number of workmen
is 81 900, and their average earnings are $40
a year. The number of wOrltmen in the
English dock-yards are lS,O47, and their
average earnings exceed eos a year. With
this remarkable difference in the scale of
wages, the cost of b~ailding appears to be
approximately the same in the two countries.
