TREES FOR The STREETS
Major Powell Talks With Mr.. Lam
lam.
A RushcI and a Half of Red Oak
AooTnS Ready to Plant 10 start
SIips-Tried ON Twelfth street.

The question Of what trees shall Ice plant
sd on the streets and in the parks to re-
place those blown down in he storm of
Scptrrnher -, : receiving some cunsidcra-
ton al the District building.
Inspector LauhanI, VII" has charge of the
trees on the streets, had a conference with
Major Powell and said he considered the
red oak to be one OF the most satisfactory
trees recently used. II has been planted
;fun. Tweirth street, near B, southwest.
The leaves, he said, Colur"d beautifully
and hung uu the branches we'll after they
had been touched Toy the frost. He wanted
Major Powell to see the trees on Twelfth
street and he convinced that the red oak
would make q very desirable growth along
the streets.
Major Fowen said he was ready to ac-
cclt Mir. Lauham'S opinion. and directed
lfat hc procure more Tor use in other parts
OF the city.
Nj LaHHam said he had busheI and j
half of acorus which he picked up in the
country himself. He proposed tn plant them
m order To- get trees. He had tried som"
uf the nursery trees an! many Of them died.
lie hoped tu have better success with these
young trees that he would start for himself
from the acorn.
The red oak is a very strong tree that
grows wild in this latitude, throughout the
casieruIlalf OF tic United states. II reaches
81 very large size. Specimens are not infro-
uuent that are over a hundred feet high and
ten TO twelve feet IN circumference. 1t is
ordinarily a healthy tree aud lives to a
great age 1t is not equal in these respects,
however, to some of the other oaks, nota-
bly, the white oak, which is also = much
haudsomer and more useful tree.
The red oak is somewhat quicker growth
than the white oak, II has a notable ad-
vantage, along with other oaks, in lis leaves
escaping the attacks Of catcrpillars and
other pests.

crushing blow which the result strikes the

The Westminster Gazette, in a leader

Of policy the Gazette advises Mckinley to

the people seemed to understand this, for
by thousands they came early and staid
late before the big screens upon which the

praise for its excellent service. which is
shown in the columns of The Times.
The people were eager for news, and
they got 1t from The Times. The presses
were kept running all the night, and the
various editions Of the paper were absorbed
almost as soon as they appeared on the
streets. In addition to all this, the great
searchlight on the roof of The Times build
Ing flashed the tidingS of the election to the
remotest parts of the District, and thus its
people were served by the peoples paper. -
