an eGsy matter. BY this
clearing the country has not
only been despoiled. but what
is more serious still, the tiny springs that
feed the larger water courses are thus
exposed to the SUMS evaporatIng in
huenoe and the supply of water gradu-
ally lessened. The wauton destruction
| by ire and ak has had no adequate COM
pensation, and now the people are
coming to see this and ask that protec-
lion be extended over what remains.
Much of this clearing is upon lands
owned by corporations that take no
thought of the morrow, though not pre-
oisely in scripture sense.
The destruction of forests is not re-
stricted to this continent, but has gone
to such extent In Europe as to arouse
public attention, and societies are there
IN operation that have for their
object the restoration of that which
the rapaoity and Indifference of
man has removed. There seems little
reason why later civilization should be
required to repeat experiments, but
much why it should profit by the earlier.
Texas does not abound in heavily wooded
territory, although her pine regions
afford large supplies to the lum Der trade.
The plain surface is largely in excess,
and from whatever cause the treeless
condition may be called normal. This
by no means implies that the condition is
Interchangeable, or that it is the better.
If it is wisdom to replant the ground
once covered with trees is there not as
much good reason in planting where
trees have not been. Artificial forests
are possibilities, and the benefits
they confer are Identical with
those where the growth is
indigenous. Tree planting in Texas has
been successfully done and can be done
with profit over a more extended area.
Every growing tree adds to the value of
land whether it be yard, lawn or farm,
and that owner who neglects to so en- |
nance its value is guilty not only of neg |
ligence, but actually deprives his heirs of |
what he is in duty bound to provide. If |
man may not waste his talent by the |
same rule he is bound to increase it, and
there is no usurious putting out that equals
acorn planting. If the farmer who set
tied lands twenty years ago had planted |
his fields in pecans he might
to-day hold his hands and idly
wait the returns of crop that
requires neither the pillow or the harrow.
Had he planted trees by the side OF the
little streams, willows around his tanks
and clumps of trees in his pasture, now
much of comfort, not to say prolougation
of lite, might have resulted from SO
small an outlay.
There are now living in this town men
who were wont to declare not many years
ago that trees would not grow here, and
yet how many shaded yards now contra
dict the assertion. Arborlculture is as
as agriculture, and the man
who plants tree or cares for one is doing
a good work, whether the work be beau
flying the surroundings of a city home

themselves with the notion that Blaine
can market their corn and pork in Cuba

Political anlmosity is what makes those

ROBBERY ON THE MP.
An East-Bound Passenger
Train Held UP.
THE WORK OF FOUR MASKED MEN
They Rihed the Mail Car, but the
Express Messenger Was
Too Smooth.

ST. PAUL, June s.-The Northern Pa
oifc east-bound passenger train, which
arrived here tonight, was robbed by
masked men near New salem, n. d.,
last night. Tho engineer aud fireman
wers surprised by two masked men
climbing over tho tender and ordering
the train stopped, at the 'Points oil re-
yolvcrs. Express Messenger Angevin,
hearing shots fired forward and suspect
ing something, hid 500 in money from
the safe, put out the lights and ran back
two miles to Now Salem. The mail car
was first tackled by the robbers, and n
number of registered letters were riiied,
and then two of the robbers turned their
attention to the express car. This they
found deserted, much to their chagrin.
The passengers were not tonched.
Ont put his head out OF tine window
during the delay, but was told to get his
head back, and n bullet whizzod past his
head, as reminder that the order had
better be obeyed.
A posse OF men, with the sheriff, left
Mandan this morning for the scene OF
the robbery. The robbers compelled
the engineer to break in the door OF the
postal car. Only four masked men were
seen at any one time.
The district around New Salem is
peopled by quiet, law abiding settlers,
and the robbery is presumed 70 be the
work OF people unknown In lhatcountry'

ST. JoHss, N. H., June The news
papers here are outspoken on the subject
OF tho fishery troubles.

fight France or abandon her British
possessions.

officers at this station should he clad In

adorned with lawn tennis racqucts. The
British officers In New Foundland waters
are ostcnsibly for fishery protection, but
in reality they are here to bolster up the
French claims to the fisheries and play
lawn tennis"
A furious address from tho legisla-
ture to the queen relative to the fishery
troubles is also published. The address
has not yet passed the legislature. The
document published was rough draft
of the proposed address, a copy OF
which, II Is supposed, WIS purloined by
some one in the government printing
Office. The address may be modified
and passed.
The affair which has caused this agi-
tation occurred some days ago. A

SHOULD Be REDUCED.
The Freight Rates on Wheat
and Corn.
LONG And SHORT HAUL CLAUSE
Report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the
Subject.

WAsHiSaToS, June The interstate
commerce commission sent to the senate
to-day their report on the investigation
made under the senate resolution di-
recting the commission to inquire into the
truth Z, the allegations that the long and
short haul clause operated toprcvent the
reduction of rates Of transportation of
food products from the Mississippi val
ley.
After synopsizing the testimony col
lected, the commission discusses the
reasonableness of the cost of freight
transportation at great length, and says;
'"Thc rebates before the act and the
very much lower rates frequently put in
force since fairly lead to the conclusion
that the existing corn and grain rates
are so high as to encourage frequent
changes and ma ie reductions eNpeJient
and profitable to the roads, which is
never necessary TO secure business. We
are are so constrained by all the facts
to believe that any rate or greater
charge from the Missouri river than II
cents to Chicago and 10 cents to the
Mississippi least side) is excessive, and
that the rates should be so reduced and
adjusted, and that red uction OF 2 cents
should be made from stations west Of
the Missouri river in Nebraska and Kan
sas."
The commission says that the rates on
grain from Kansas and Texas arc un-
reasonably high Tor longer distances,
and grossly excessive and ex-
orbitant for the shorter, and
should be reduced. Wheat aud
-four should bear the same rate,
which should not be more than 10 per
cent. above the rates ON corn ana oats
No. r.ta all ~ l....
should pay the same As corn.
The grain rates from the two Dakotas
and Minnesota should be moderated
and adjusted.
The commission rcnews the recon.
mendation that the third section of the
act be so amended as to make provision
for through carriage at through rates
