For the adornment of our homes and
highways. for the Identifying of our ceme-
teries and the Establishment Of our public
parks, the legislature of Montana has
wisely set apart one day in each year for the
planting of trees. A custom orystallized
into law in many states. the public planting
of trees, vines and shrubs, has grown into
an annual contribution to the welfare of
the commonwealth Not only does the law
which provides an Arbor day for Montana
direct the teachers in our public schools to
train the thoughts of youth toward the
utility and beauty of tree planting by the
offers rewards to the taxpayer in whole
some exemptions and substantial encouE-
sgements.
Section 6 of the act concerning tree
planting and arborculture says: THAT
when any resident of the territory (state)
has or may hereafter plant and cultivate
for two years. q line of forest trees or fruit
trees, not less than sixteen feet apart and not
more than eight feet from any water bitches
within his land. said land shall be exempt
from taxation to the amount Of 81 annually
shereafter on the assessed valuation of
6ucn lanu Tor eacH growing Tree thereon for
u period of five years."
Recognizing the great value to the state
of the proper observance Of a day espec-
tally set apart for the planting of trees, and
regarding the maintenance of the custom,
to which it owes it's origin, ne due posterity
az we'll as the material interests of the
present, /, j. E. Richards, governor of the
state of Montana, do hereby proclaim as

Pursuant to the spirit of the law and for
the welfare of the state, | recommend an
appropriate observance of the day by all

Wherever practical the pupils in our public
schools should celebrate the day with APP
propriata ceremonies and participate in the
active duty of planting trees.
In testimony whereof, ! have h%ereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the state to
be affixed. Done at Helena, the capital of

PROVIDENCE IS BLAMED.
The Creek Overlooked Its Banks
and Swept Tailings on
's the Ranch,
Friends of William Fl. Byers Sc
cure Els Release From the
County Jail,
Tho Governor Issues q Proclamation for
the Observance of Arbor Day
ON April Is.

The tailings damage case in Judge Hunts
court is one of unusual Importance to mill
owners and ranchmen and is one in which
the defendant throws the responsibility for
damage upon Providence. During the big
storm last ulnimer which swept the road-
bed and bridges of the Montana Central
railway out of Prickly Pear canyon a lot of
taillngs were carried upon the ranch of
Hans Thompson. which lies a short way
below the Empire mill, owned by the
Golden Leaf Mining company. Thompson,
by his witnesses, showed that the tailings
had been swept upon his ranch and claimed
1000 damages. Yesterday the mining
company had its witnesses on the stand.
From their testimony it appears that the
company took all reasonable precautions
in handling the tailings. During the irri-
eating season the dams which hold the tail
ings at the mill were kept closed 30 as to
prevent any debris going down the Prickly
Pear and into the %irrigating bitches. When
the bitches were not in use the dams were
left open and such ~tailinRs as escaped went
down the stream. When the big storm
came the creek was too small to hold the vol
ume of water and it flowed onto the adjacent
land, carrying with it large quantities of
tailings from the dams of the mining COM
pany. The dams were not washed out. hut
OVERLOADED. Witnesses for the mining
company estimated the value of Thomp-
sons ranch to be all the way from $40 to
$40 per acre, and that it had not been dam
aged much to speak Of. The crop COM
pared favorably with those OF other years.
Old settlers on the creek said il was the
biggest flood ever seen in the country, and
that the creek ran over its banks. Some
testimony is to be introduced tomorrow.
and it is expected that the case will be
given to the jury on Tuesday.

Proclamation Relieving the Laborlng

WASHINGTON, Nov 81. - President
Barrios, of Guatemala, has published
a decree which is, in fact, procla-
nation of emancipation of the Ia
boring classes from slavery. 1t
has been the custom of the govern
ment, through its military agents, to
take forcible possession of the persons
of the lower classes at any and all
times, sending them to work where
they pleased. 1t often happened that
the voluntary laborers of a small
planter would be taken away and sent
to more powerful rival. Henry c.

reports that the presidents decree is to
go into effect March 10, 1894.
