Tree Growing.

c.. K. Kittenger in Dakota Farmer:
Now that people car prove up on tree
claims without having any trees, and
the fact that at least nine-tenths OF
all who have tried to grow trees have
failed, i presume there will not be
much planting in the near future.
There are several reasons why so
many have failed. OF course L am
willing TO admit that the climatic
conditions have been unfavorable,
but that Is not the only reason. In
the first place very few trees were
properly planted, owing partly 10
Ignorance Of how the work ought TO
be done, and partly to the great hur-
~ that people were in at the time
the tress should have been planted
Lack Of cultivation, however, has
been the n thing that has caused
more trees to die than any other one
thing. or / think l might safely say
than all other causes combined.
Nature grows trees without cultl-
walton. but generally plants them
near the water. Why not take the
hint and plant that slough IN your
wheat field. You know it is so wet at
seeding time that you hate to drive
through it and If yousowa any grain IL
browns out. Now il every wei place
on your farm had a grove of trees IN
it wouldn't you have a good many
trees? Perhaps you will say tnaC
late in the season the water all dries
ont and the ground bakes SO hard
that all the trees would die. Wen
lust after the water dries out suppose
q take that old straw stack d
spread it among your trees. 1t WIN
be a good way to get rid OF your SUI.
plus straw. Then if your trees oon1
grow you may conscienciously say
that YOU have done your best ana II
YOU will come before me l VIII nop

Northern Pacific Tax Cases Remanded.

Chief Justice Fuller announced the
decision Of the supreme court in the
case of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company against Charles s. Walker,
county auditor, ct al, from the court
Of appeals from the Eighth circuit.
The railroad company in 1890 began
suits against the auditors Of twelve
counties in North Dakota for in
functions to restrain them from as
sessipg taxes against certain lands,
titles to which vest in the company.
The chief justice stated that the
amount involved in any one c-unty
was not sufficient to give the circuit
court Jurisdiction; and indeed the
record shows the total amount in the
twelve counties is not sufficient. The
Judgment Of the circuit court was
therefore reversed and the cases re-
manded for further proceedings. No
dismissal was made, the chief justice
explained, for the reason that by the
time the cases get back the amount
involved may be sufficient III some
counties to give the court juris-
diction, he said, by combining the
amounts at issue In two or a dozen
counties.

Along the eastern Stone ne tba
BLACK Hills is a stretch of barren
broken country, known as the Rad
Lands OF South Dakota. At a dis
lance there appears nothing remark
aole about it, and it is USUALLY
supposed to be a plateau, perfectly
level and devoid OF vegetation, An
attempt to explore it is Don found
very difficult, if, in fact, not entirely
impossible, as there is a succession If
deep and narrow canyons or gorpes
with perpendicular walls, and these,
with but few exceptions, have mo
access. The material is a mixture of
cray, sand and gravel, baked very
nara, which, at a period perhaps a
Thousand years ago, was deposited
Ihefe oy water. The theory adj
Vanced by savants Of geology and
natural history is that at one time a
great lake existed, which extended
from the Northern Pacific road on
the north TO southern Kansas on the
south, and between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills, the waters
or which slowly subsidized, and this
vast area of clay and sediment, most
or which has been carried away by
erosion, has left elevated patches.
This section has been extensively
explored by students Of natural his
tory and many valuable fossils and
pe"trifactiOns unearthed. Last fall a
party composed of DR.. j. L. Wort
man, collector Of specimens for the
American Museum Of Natural His
tory at New York and also a member
OF the National Academy of Science,
y. A. Peterson, also a collector for
that institution and an eminent
scientist, and James w. Gidley, of
WhitewOOd, spent several months in
that country and obtained a fine col
lection OF fossils, pe%trifactions and
fossil remains of the mamalia, includ-
ing 35dlfferent species Of animals, all
or which are extinct. Among them
were the ancestors of the horse, dog.
cat, hog and rhinoceros families.
One specimen taken out was the
skeleton Of a rhinOcerOs sixteen feet
long; its skull was thirty-six inches
long and there were two large horns,
one on either side Of the nose, vastly
different from the ]rhinoCeTos Of this
and many past ages. 1t was in a
remarkable state Of preservation and
has been mounted and placed on
exhibition in the American museum.
The collection weighed 200 pounds.
The party have planned anOtn.r
trip which will probably consume
the time from April / until the
storms of next winter drive them to
more cOngenial haunts. Messrs.
Workman and Peterson are expected
70 arrive IN DGauWOO1 In q Few days,
and will be met by Mr.. Gidley and
| proceed to the Bad Lands. They are
enthusiastic over the discoveries
made and the extraordinary posi-
bilitieS and do not hesitate to pro-
nonnce it the most wonderful country
they have explored in all their
research. The party expect some
time to explore the southwestern
portion of Wyoming, where some
very rare and valuable specimens Of
the eocene tertiary period have Ceen
found, one of which was the
dinscerata or six-hOrned rhinOceros
and the horse with five toes, the
ancestor Of the common horse.

TO CALL FOR PLANS.
University Regents Decide to
Advertise.
PREMIUMS FOR THE THREE BEST.
Location and style Of Main Building
Not Selected - After Specimens
for the Museum.

The board of regents of the state uni.
versity met yesterday afternoon at the
Peoples Savings bank and decided 20 adj
vsrtise for plans and designs for the new
university building. The whole board was
present. viz: Maj. ]. II. Hayden. Hon.
Frank Allyn. of Tacoma; David kellogg
and A. z. Misten, with the sole exception
of Hon. w. d. Wood. who Is in Chicago
President T. NJ. Catch was in attendance
and II. Willis Carr acted as secretary.
1t was resolved to advertise for plans
and designs for the main building of the
ne. university on the Lake Washington
site. to be presented not later than Febru-
airy IL, 1884. as provided by the law passed
at the last session of the legislature. This
law provides for premiums for the three
best plans and designs. the first prize to
consist OF the acceptance of the plans
offered and the appointments of the winner
as architect of the building, the
second TO consist of $1,000 and
the third of $500 The Law
provides for the erection, first, of the main
building. which is to be capable of en-
largement, and then for other buildings
for the use of the professors. students and
employees. The advertisement for plans is
~ NC pubiAsHeu Twice . week Tor at least
two weeks, and is to give ninety days no
lice of the date when plans are to be pre-
scented.
The board has not yet decided what kind
OF building shall be erected first, nor
what limit of cost shall be provided,
though the law has appropriated $i5o, 600
for the purpose. 1t will meet again next
Tuesday and look over the site to select the
exact location of the main building and
agree upon its character. The advertise
ment for plans will then be drawn up.
The executive committee announced that
1t had dispatched Hon. w. d. Wood and
Prof. q. b. johnson to Chicago to secure
specimens for the university museum, and
telegram was received from Mr.. johnson
yesterday saying that the prospects were
good for getting good collection from the
Worlds fair. They will try to obtain
donations from the state exhibit and use
1t in making exchanges with other states.
The action of the executive committee in
the matter was approved.

Oregon and State cannot handle the large
