How About Silver Oaks

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: Having read
your articles relative to the intentions of
the Capitol Park Commissioners to plant
double row of trees around the Capitol
grounds, and asking for suggestions as to
the kind of tree that should be planted, l
have to offer the following:
The tree that should be used is the
Grevillea, proper name, Grt0Hte0 Ro-
bUSta, common name, silver oak. Were
the Commissioners to hunt the world
over they could find no finer tree for the
purpose. 1t possesses every qualification
for park purposes. 1t is an evergreen,
and makes scarcely any debris whatever;
the foliage, resembling that of the most
delicate fern, is beautiful beyond descriD-
ton. The Grevillea is a very hardy tree;
the weather has never been cold enough
in California to injure it. 1t is a deep
rooter and will stand in storm long after
the pepper and eucalyptus have been
leyeled with the earth. 1t is a quick
grower, and once established requires
little or no water.
If the Commissioners intend to plant
two rows of trees, a pleasing way 10 ar
range them would be to plant Grevillea
ana olive trees, every third tree an olive
on the inside row, and all Grevileas on
the outside row. | feel quite sure that if
the Commissioners will investigate the
claims of the Grevillea tree, they Will
adopt it for the Capitol ark.

A Plea For the California Fan Palm.

grounds can hardly be Oyer-estimated.
That serious mistakes have been made by
State gardeners in selecting quantities Of
coniters and ordinary deciduous trees Of
the colder latiJudes to embellish the park
is admitted by al arbOriculturiStS who
have visited the place; and it is certain
that continuation of such policy would
be something more than a mistake.
While few Roman pines, redwoods, cy-
press and yews are pleasing features
when properly placed i'll clumps, they
are certainly out of place and positive
nulsances when arranged in long rows:
their close tops and lofty growths inter-
fere with view of the noble Capitol from
Tie adjoining streets. Most citizens will
remember the acacias, English and cork
elms, lOcusts, grevilIias and pepper trees
which We're originally planted along the
street lines, and grew to fine specimens
Of their kind, but which, from various
causes, have been discarded, until we are
left with short row of umbrella trees on
the south side, of lOw-spreading habit and
quite out of place in the situation they are
in. In the selection of any new trees for
ornamental purposes should we not con-
slider the fact that we are in a semi-tropi-
cal belt, and that the noblest trees which
belong to this variety Of climate are not
deciduous? Our State grounds viii grow
to perfection the Date, Roman or CaIifor-
MIA fan palm, the magnolia, the olive, the
laurel, or the sour orange.
OF all these, beg leave to suggest, there
are special reasons in favor of the Cali

and yet with its pendent flaments is
graceful. Its growth is comparatively
quick and cleanly, and itsEhead never be-
comes so thick that it interleres with a
view beyond its trunk. The fine speci-
mems now growing in the park were
placed there during the administration of
the late Governor Irwin, through the per-
sonal appeals ofthe late b. B. Redding. to
whom we are also indebted for the Roman
pines, propagated from seed sent by him
from Italy. Imagine, Messrs. Editors,
the effect Of a continuous line Of we'll

The bill, as Adjutant General Kelton Ok

the general government through a
mutual agreement between the national
guard on hand and the general gov.

THE RUTLAND COUNTY MARTYRS.

The Judges of the Rutland county court
decided to raise the fine for first ofienses
of selling intoxicants from the old figure
of $40 an oflense to $50, the extreme pen
atty allowed by the law; so it assessed
fourteen offenders who were brought be-
fore 1t something more than S3400. Chief
Justice Ross presided.
But the sorrowful and impoverished
brethren should not be cast down. They
should bear In mind the saying, often
heard, that the way to cause the repeal of
a bad law is to enforce it, and should con-
sole themselves with the thought that
their financial sufferings will ultimately
bring about the reign of high license,
that is, if the saying quoted is true. 1t
was of course hard for them to part with
their dollars, and so many of them, too,
all at once; but so was it with the illus
rtious John Rogers, the story of whose
taking-off at Smithfield, surrounded by
his wife and ten children, formed strik-
ing chapter of noted textbook of the
fathers. He had to leave to the tender
mercies of the world a numerous family,
but the record says " he was not in the
least daunted =; in the same spirit should
the Rutland martyrs leave their numer-
Gus dollars with the county clerk, who
can be trusted to take care of them.
