planted, there is no reason why they
should not grow and wax hardy and lux
uriant. Trees for setting out can be OBJ
tanned for a merely nominal sum, and
the only thing necessary after they be
planted is a proper amount of care.
Each home, in a few years, might be
surrounded by a grove of handsome
shade trees, lending comfort to the
~householders, aud an appearance of
beauty to the homes, and to the whole
city With a proper observance of Ar
Dor day on the part Of the residents,
Bismarck might, in the course of a few
years, become known as the "Forest
City," Waving shade trees might adorn
each and all of the residence streets.
Luxuriant strawberries and hedges could
be maintained about every house. Thatit
can be done is evidenced in the several
homes about the city, where an attempt
is made so to do. That it is not gener-
ally done, is, not from any impossibility
of soil or climate, but merely because Of
the carelessness or disinclinatlon of
home owners. There should be a change
from this. The humble cottage is as
greatly adorned by trees, shrubbery, a
lawn, as is the more elegant mansion. A
general cultivation of trees on Arbor
Day should be the order.

The Russian ThistIa.

The following bulletin has been issued
from the executive office:
The attention of county and township
officials is hereby respectfully called to the
noxious weed bulletin of our agricultural
commissioner, which is now ready for dis
%tribution, q full supply Of which will be
sent to the county auditors for the benefit
OF county commissioners, supervisors, road
overseers and the public.
Our n0xious weed law must be ripidly
enforced, and the spread Of the Russian
thistle placed under control and ultimately
stamped out; it not, it is only a question
OF time when it will destroy our farming
interests. It now exists in five Of our
western states. and covers an area of TO-
GOO square miles. Its damage to crops last
season Is estimated at $2YOOO,OOO.
We may not be able to get government
aid at present, though our worthy senators
are working manful]y in our behalf, and
will no doubt succeed In the senate. In the
meantime, we must use all available means
at Our command to stop the spread Of the
cactus, through the prompt action of our
county commissioners and township Off
cials.
The public press of the state will please
call attention to this bulletin, as it gives a
full description OF the thistle, with photo
graphic plates. etc.
Respectfully,
=. G. D. SHoRTR1DGE,
Governor.

A Little Blaze.

The shrill footing OF an engine whistle
in the railroad yards, announced some
thing unusual at / o'clock Saturday
morning, and, followed by the changing
Of the fire bell, aroused citizens from the
deepest slumber Of the night. After
some delay the hose cart wa gotten out,
and pulled through the thick mud Of
Main street by but three or four persons;
was taken in the direction Of the blaze,
as ascertained by the floating smoke, as
it was carried into the city by the breeze.
At first, it vas thought by many to be
the mill, but q nearer inspection proved
it to be an old oil house of the Northern
Pacific, just across the track, between
the lines of Sixth and Seventh streets.
The building has been the stopping
place of tramps at various times, several
of them having been routed out Of the
place night before last by Waterman
McCue. It is supposed the building was
fred by them, either accidentally, or in q
spirit Of revenge. The flames were soon
controlled, after the water was once
turned on, and the damage done was
slight, as the building is not especially
valuable.

The 500 Again.

AS usual each spring, reports are now
coming thick and fast Of the probable
ironing of the 500 road to Bismarck this
year. Unlike those of previous years,
however, the reports this year seem we'll
founded, and have some substantiation
in fact. A report that the 500 had
hoated bonds for this purpose was cur
rent some time ago, and was received
with feelings, partly of doubt, and partly
of a sort of unwilling nnbelief. The latest
report of the coming of the 500, how
ever, is that the men, teams and imple-
ments, which have been employed in the
vicinity Of Minot, are being moved down
to Kuhn, in LaMoure county, to which
point the 500 has been ironed. Frank
Melton of Sterling, has been travelling
through the country in the region Of
Minot, lately, and has taken a sort of
circuit through the country from there
south, and he reports that contractors
and workmen are moving their teams
and implements to Kuhn. He says,
also, that the surplus of rails and build
ing material is likewise being moved
there. and that the general impression
seems to be that work is to begin on the
ironing of the Bismarck extension.

had been practically abandoned. Thous-
ands Of them rolling over the prairie,
scattering seed as they were driven for
ward by the wind. I have read of the
terrors Of a plague being carried in the
atmosphere; I have seen cattle with
Spanish or Texas fever being driven on
the trail scattering the deadly parasite as
1t passed, but never before did I see such
a sight as thousands of agents of nox1ous
weeds being driven by the winds across
the country, deposlting millions of seeds,
each n Of which was capable of pro-
pagating a million more! Never before
did l realize the Importance of the Hans.

this pest, or the folly of the Picker
amendment to the bill, introduced in the
house for the same purpose.
The Picker amendment provides that
the funds asked to be appropriated be
used to destroy the thistle that may
grow on government land. But when
one understands that government land is
all prairie, and the thistle only grows on
cultivated land, they will see the absur.
dity of sue b an amendment.
Inc farmers are not, I think, sufi-
GENTLY aroused to the danger which
threatens them from this insidious foe
both by day and by night. The germs
of a terrible pestilence are being scattered

interested in agriculture than any official
ever connected with the agricultural

1 am satisfied from what I have heard
that Senator Hansbrough will succeed

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
Mr.. Heard Points Out Advantages I'm
q Rafirond Bill,

The most important District legisla ton
effected during my experience here" said
Chairman Heard to a Star reporter today,
is the omnibus street railway legislation
Included In the Metropolitan bill. When
the people realize how much that bill car
RES In the way OF conducting to the public
convenience and toward solving the rapid
transit problem In this city they will be
surprised. Under the provisions of that
Dill any street railway company now ex-
listing or hereafter authorized which con-
meets directly or by means OF connec-
ton through another road with the Metro
politan line can run its cars over the tracks
of the Metropolitan line into the heart of
the city.
There will be no further trouble about
1t. for II amicable arrangement cannot be
made the court will compel an agreement.
This means not only that other roads, and
prospective suburban lines especially Will
be enabled to reach the heart of the city,
but II means also that there will be no
necessity for using more Of the city's streets
for new roads.
That in itself is an important matter. ]
think that with the possible exception of
q cross-town line. we don't need any more
city lines. / have been struggling for years
to keep a few north and south streets, 9Th
and 10th for instance, free from street car
tracks SO as to furnish an outlet to the
.
to new companies who may ask for char.
ters on city streets that they can connect
with existing lines and come down over the
Metropolitan line.
Under this omnibus bill we can also make
connections from the Capitol to other lines
The lexington road can come UP to the
Senate end and put us in communicate ton
with the government printing ONCE. think
that In course Of time the Metropolitan
may have to extend its line to 18th street
east, and In that case can tap a suburban
line crossing the Eastern branch. IL one
should be built II they should want to
bring a suburban line in from Brookland
and Hyattsville they can make adequate
connection by means Of the omnibus pro-
visions.
Washington win soon have the mos,
complete system of street railways in the
country. by means Of the transfer and con-
nection scheme thus afforded. We now
lave the cheapest system. and a man can
ride on more roads for less money than
anywhere else. The plan Of selling SIX
tickets for 3 cents saves the people Of this
city 100000 annually, that amount being
the diferentce between six tickets for 9
quarter and a straight fiye-cent fare"

THERE WAS A REWARD.
But No One Rode n barrel mt the Bath
Ing Beach.

1t was Pythian day at the free bathing
beach yesterday. Probably never before
did such a large crowd at any one time
assemble on the shore or go in the water.
The day was a hot one. and as the beach
borders on the south edge Of Camp George
Washington 1t was but natural that those
lately arrived should gather to witness a
sight never before seen by the majority Of
them.
There were half a thousand sir knights
and several hundred civilians on the bank
shortly before noon, and they enjoyed the
aquatic antics of scores of bathers. Bath
irg suits of countless cuts and styles came
in for q good share of attention and laugh
ter, while the diving of several men caused
remarks of admiration.
Suddenly a police whistle was sounded,
and in an instant the shouts and conyersa-
ton ceased and all was silent A moment
later Policeman Cotter, the popular officer
in charge of the beach, appeared.
Gentlemen" he said, with strong Hi
bernian accent, "allow me to remind you
that a reward of so is offered to any one
who
'say. Cotter." Interrupted a voice from
far out in the water, have you got time
to sit on tack?''
This remark caused a mighty shout to go
forth from the spectators, which continued
for several moments The whistle sounded
vigorously and again quiet was restored
Young man." the policeman went on to
say. your mouth is as big as my shoe and
l wear a No. L."
The laugh was now on the swimmer who
took 1t good-naturedly.
"a reward of $40 is offered any one who
will ride one of those barrels floating there
from the beach to the diving platform"
the officer finally succeeded in saying
Lets see the color of the k came from
another bather, which was followed by
chorus of Yes; let's see the money"
Policeman Cotter silently and triumphant-
ly waved a1oft a greenback, which slenced
those who doubted the offer. Knight after
knight In succession endeavored to ride the
barrel and win the $40, but all failed to
proceed more than one foot on the unsteady
vehicle. AS the bathers ANONYMOUSLY roll
ed from the barrel the onIookers laughed
Until their sides ached.
Say, Cotter," meekly inquired the man
who wanted to see the money, 'can that
be done?"
There is a man here forty -fve years of
age who can do it right now. 1 am the
man."
The crowd waited to witness the event
but the policeman discovered that he was
too busy just at that time to go in the
water.
1t Is safe to say that the bathing beach
will prove most popular spot with the sir
knights during their stay in Washington
