Tree Planting Suggestions.

The following suggestions are given for the benefit of school au- thorities who intend to plant trees on Arbor Day, on the 5th of this month, also for other persons who may wish to follow them:
 Do not plant trees too near the houses.
 Do not plant them too near to- gether.
 Root spreading trees should be avoided.
 Trees that bud early in the spring are the best.
 A good tree for planting has an abundance of fibrous roots.
 Trees with turnip-like roots are not easily transplanted.
 Trees from forests are transplant ed with difficulty, likewise trees that have grown in the shade.
 A healthy tree from poor soil transplants best.
 Do not allow roots to become dry.
 Dig holes before the trees are brought.
 Make holes large enough.
 In filling use the rich soil at the bottom.
 Do not put stones or manure in the bottom of the hole.
 Use no water while setting the tree.
 If the soil is very dry, use little water after the tree is planted.
 Place hay, straw, wood and sha- wings or sawdust around the foot of the tree after planting, to check evaporation.
 Transplanting on damp or fog gy day succeeds best.
 Keep weeds and grass from the soil just around the trees, as they prevent rain and air from penetra- ting to the roots.
 Trim the branches in proportion to the roots destroyed.
 As rule more trees should be planted than will be needed when full sized.
 Avenue trees should be set from fifteen to twenty feet apart.
 The soil should be packed firmly, not tightly around the roots.
 Soil should be raked whenever it hardens.

.Land Bill" Allen.

A great deal is being said and writ ten about the wonderful career of George Wheaton Allen, commonly known as ''Land Bill Allen" who died in the Franklin county infirmatory November g, and was given pub lie funeral from the state capitol of Ohio on December 2. Vince so much is said great deal of romance is woven in with a very small amount of truth. It was Aliens claim that he was the author of the homestead law. There are grave grounds for doubting this. Allen kept an auction room for many years in Columbus, Ohio, and oper- ated number of peddling wagons which carried about everything from a yard of tape to sauce pan. On one of these he had painted 'Land Bill Allen, a Home for AL" As he drove from place to place, he would lecture on the proposed bill provid- ing for the pre-emption of the pub lie lands, and the idea was finally enacted into a homestead law. In this way he held a crowd. The claim that Allen was the author of the measure is a myth and should be laid on the shelf with his other claim that he spent S6O,OOO in advo- eating the proposed law. Such men as Allen are to-day called "jaw- smiths" He was nothing more. He was lazy and never worked a day that he could help himself. While making his canvass he announced that he also wanted to go to con- gress. His constituents even re- fused to elect him to represent them in the state legislature, and ever afterward he had a grievance. Such methods as he used in his days to draw a crowd are now called "adver- Using fakes"
 He was a street fakir-nothing more. In the futherence of his political ambition he may have spent $l, 900, even if he at any time fn his life possessed that much clear money. One thing is evident: The idea of the homestead law was born before Allen advocated it. He was neither the framer nor the originator of the law, and yet misguided people who have never taken the pains to inform themselves are to-day en- gagged in lauding him to the skies. Another thing is certain: No such a spectacle was ever before seen in this country as that occurred at Columbus on December 2d, when a a poorold man who had died pau per was honored with having his emaciated remains lie in state in the capitol while a throng of people passed by to do him homage. A public subscription was raised and the remains inferred in a beautiful cemetery, It is the history of old Homer repeated.-L. A. Times.

OUR RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

While the JouRSAL-MINER's faith in the building of the $. F. F. x r. railroad has been unshaken since last June, there have been many in this community who seeped to think that the people who were pro noting tho enterprise and who have been paying out their money ever since the above date, when survey ing operations were commenced, were doing so just for fun. They
 have believed, or at least have af- affected to believe, that the road would never be built. Now that the grading has commenced on both ends of the line, even these skeptics arc forced to admit that it begins to look as though the company meant business, and if no bad luck attends their efforts, by the first of January, 1893, the road should be nearly com pleted, although conservative es,i- mates of the time required for its completion places it at eighteen months. While the ultimate pur- pose of the company is not made known, 1t Is generally believed, both here and in California, that it Is to continue the line i through Yuma to connection with road now being built east
 ward from.San Diego. Such a road
 would form 6 very important line
 and would open up large mining
 section of country, as we'll as an az
 ricultural region of considerable i'm
 portance. But should the road b'
 built to Phenix only, it will become
 a very important factor in the de
 velopment of Arizona, and will So
 cure larger traffc, in proportion t'
 its mileage, than any existing line
 The same skepticism manifeste' | in regard to this road has also beer
 expressed in regard to the announce
 ment that the Southern Pacific pro
 poses to build line between Pres
 colt and Phenix via Black Canyon
 While such line would pas
 through a mining section remot'
 from the other and would develop 1
 largo amount of business along il owing to the situation, and th'
 favorable connections both east an' west that the former road coul'
 make, people have argued, fror , their own standpoint of course, tha such line between the Atlantic , Pacific on the north, and the South
 ern Pacific on the south, would b at a disadvantage, in the matter c , competing for foreign traffic, whil the local traffic would not suppor two roads. A gentleman, who is i } the employ of the Southern Pacifi company, and who professcs t know something of the inside worl ! ings of the company, passed throug Prescott yesterday and gave ou very strong hints that the compan, contemplated continuing this pro posed line to a connection with [ Utah road. Should those surmise prove correct it will be noted tha ! Prescott promises to become quit , an important railroad town.

A Msri,ea Honor.

Under the caption, "A merited Honor" the Topeka Daily Capital, of the Fist inst, says, the follow ing circular has just been issued:
 Atlantic * Pacific Railroad Com pany. Office of General Solicitor Circular No. 2.
 Topeka, Kansas, January l5, 1892. -C. N. Sterry is hereby appointed general attorney for this company, with headquarters at Albuquerque. New Mexico, in place of MT. William c. Hazledine, deceased.
 He will have immediate charge of legal affairs, taxes and claims.
 GEo. R. PECK, Approved: Solicitor General.
 A. MASvEI, President.
 Captain Sterry has been for many years a prominent member of the Kansas bar. His practice has em- braced the most varied, complica- ted and strenuously contestested litigation, For more than ten years he has been an attorney for the Atchison, Topeka k Santa Fe rail road company, and his appointment is a recognition of the able and yalu- able services which he has rendered and his sterling qualities as law yer and man. His fidelity to the interests of his clients, energy, sound legal judgment and skill as an advo- cate we'll fit him for the responsible and difficult duties of general attor- ney for the Atlantic X Pacific rail road company. Captain Sterry's friends, at his home at Emporia, and throughout Kansas, while re- gretting to lose him from the state, are gratified over his appointment to this lucrative and honorable po- sition.
 The Topeka State Journal, in commenting on the appointment, adds the following tribute:
 Capt. Sterry is recognized as one of the best lawyers in the west. He long ago took high rank in legal circles. He has been connected with the Santa Fe law department for many years. The promotion is a worth one in every respect and the only regret will be that felt by the friends of the captain and of his estimable wife, that his good fortune loses them as Kansas resi- l dents.
