1t Is No Snap.

A forlorn locking young man
came up from the south the other
day. He had been down to Julia
eta to get job with the contrac-
tots for the extension of the Nor
thern Pacific railroad to Lewiston,
saws the Moscow Star. He got the
lob but did not keep it long. His
experience was interesting. The
Young man came up from the coun-
try near Rosalia, Wash. He had
walked all the way down to Julia
eta and when he arrived he had
$500 in his pocket. He had no
trauble to get a job. He went to
work at once with grading crew,
but two days of labor was as much
as he could stand. He found the
work the hardest be had ever at
tempted to do. The rains had
soaked the soil making it soft and
very heavy, and almost impossible
to work. There is a constant
change in employees. AS rule two
or three days is all man can en-
dure. Then he drops out and a
new man takes his place. 1t is the
same with the teams; the horses in
that country have been generally
wintered on straw and are in no
condition to stand hard work. But
the contractors arc making every
effort to push the work along even
in the face of the unreasonable
weather they have to encounter.
Their contract calls for the early
completion of their work, and they
propose to have it done if possible.

Railroad Progress.

O. Geiger, of the firm Of Geiger e.
Zabriskie, who have the contract
for the extension of the Lewiston
branch Of the Northern Pacific rail
road, was in Lewiston Thursday,
When interviewed by represen-
tative of the Tribune regarding rail-
road matters Mr.. Geiger said: "The
recent heavy foods in the Potlatch
and Clearwater, instead of doing
our work great damage, were in
fact blessing. The drift formed
against the trestle on the new piece
Of road Though the Potlatch, and
the sediment formed around it
practically closed the channel,
turning the channel, turning the
current Of water into the main bed
of the creek, and thus did what it
would have cost US to accomplish
three or four thousand dollars.
There will be some slight delay
caused by our having to move the
camp from that end of the line to
Catholic gulch and doing the work
last that should have been done
first. There was no piling or tim
Der lost to any extent, but had the
rise come two weeks later when the
material was in the river the dam
age would have been severe. The
Clearwater at Lapwai was within
four feet of the high water mark of
last June, such condition being
unheard of before in this country.
I'VE have now eight camps scat
tered along the line and 125 teams
and $50 men at work throwing dirt
on the grade. Material is now at
the bridge site for the pile driver
and scow and as soon as the water
recedss 400 piles and $4,000 feet
of lumber will be doomed down the
Potlatch and work will be imme-
diately begun on the foundation for
the piers. If the weather does not
interfere we will be in Lewiston on
schedule time"

A WAY to Prune.

Pruning is the most delicate and
important operation that the fruit
grower performs, says Samuel
Hedges, pomoiogist of the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture. Budding
aid grating are mere routine
functions compared with scientific
pruning, requiring merely a prac
teal knowledge of how to perform
the operation in accordance with
established rules--so as to produce
certain definite results and must
always be done in a practical man
ner, requires the exercise of good
Judgment as we'll as skill, and it is
necessary for the operator to pos
eess an intimate knowledge as to
what limbs are essential to the per-
feet development of the trees and
those what are superhuous. AS no
two trees are at all alike in devel
opment Of branches, the operator
should be able to discover at a
gance which branches should be
removed to produce the best re-
suits.
A good deal of pruning is some
tlme' necessary, and herein the
Skill and judgment Of the surgeon
Is tried to determine whether or
not 1t Is necessary to amputate it.
If the primer will always bear in
mind that no limb should be re-
moved unless it is broken or dis
sased or shuts out the sunlight
rom the fruit, so to prevent it's de-
veiopment and ripening need never
% astray.

However, as this article is not
intended for the guidance of the ex-
perianced primer, but for the bene-
tit of those seeking information,
the following suggestions are Of
fered;
l. Train the tree so that only
dead or injured limbs may be re-
moved in future years.
2. Use the fingers and pruning
knife in shaping the tree, and thus
save the use of the saw.
8. Prune weak growth in win
ter.
4. Prune strong growth in sum-
mer.
s. Pruning by improper meth
DDS and at improper times will pre-
vent the formation of fruit spurs
upon such trees as fruit by that
method
6. Never fail to protect every
wound of more than one half inch
in diameter from the influence OF
the weather by means of paint CT
some other suitable material.
Z. Stud y your tree thoroughly
before you prune.
An ak or Ratchet should never be
used in pruning, use Il fine toothed
saw.
It is essential that the head Of
the tree should be opened to the
sunlight, in order that the fruit
may be perfectly colored and of
fine flavor. All limbs that cross
each other must be removed. AS
there is an intimate relation be-
tween roots and branches, it is eS-
sential that the foliage be abundant
and healthful, in order that the
roots may be developed and furnish
nourishment from the soil for the
healthful development of the fol-
iage. Any tree or plant may be
eventually killed by constantly re-
moving it's leaves as they appear,
because leaves are the lungs and
perform the double function of ob,
tanning food from the atmosphere
fer the nourishment Of the roots
and in throwing off the injurious
elements furnished by the roots in
the form Of sap. Summer pruning
is weakening process in the growth
Of the tree which will often induce
tree that would otherwise be pos
sessed of a vigorous growth to pro-
duce fruit the Following year. On
the contrary, winter pruning will
produce an increased growth of
wood the following season, and may
arrest the formation of fruit buds
Trees often show a tendency to
develop strong central shoots at the
expense of those which should grow
straight outward from the body.
This can be controlled by pruning
the strong shoots in summer and
the weak ones in winter.
When necessary to remove a
large limb that has become broken
the proper plan is to saw the limb
two feet beyond the final point of
removal, thus removing the great
weight which is likely to cause the
tearing of the bark upon the lower
side of the limb, and causing ser
ious injury to the tree. A second
cut can now be made at the proper
place without any danger.
Finally, when we consider the
many years required for certain
fruit trees to reach maturity and
the irreparable damage that may
be done to them, it follows that ev-
cry possible precaution in pruning
is wise expenditure Of time and
labor.

OBSERVANDA.

EThe Alkahest' is the name of a
small and atttractively printed month
Iy issued at Atlanta, Ga, at 81, year.
A friend lent us the copy for January.
Some of the papers are particularly
bright and dashing, with thorough in
dependence in opinion and something
of contempt for the old notions and
prevailing style in letters. 1t has
very interesting and even pathetic ar
ticle on Henry Timrod, of South Caro-
lima, who was permitted to die Of star
vation at Columbia, according to the
account given with so much of sympa
thy admiration and tenderness. 1t
p quotes from Mr.. Richard Henry Stod-
dard, the poet editor OF New York,
that Tim"od was 'the greatestpoet the
south has ever produced" That de-
pends upon how Poe is classified. If
he is southern then the criticism of
will not hold. Poe was southern on
the fathers side (of MarylanD but
was born in Boston, while his parents
were filling an engagement with a
theatre. We have long thought that
Timrod was second to Poe and Paul H.
Hayne third among southern poets.
We notice also that the author Of the
well written paper, DR.. F. Muench, of
Charleston, puts TimrOd above Robert
Burns as "of incomparably higher
literary value" That strikes us as ex-
aggerated praise. There is some real
poetry in the number. We think the
south will be interested in this maya
zine, seventeen numbers thus far is
sued, and if well patronized it could
grow in size and value. 1t is quite
promising and shows culture, vigor
and literary skill.
The semi-weekly messenger., 1898-01-25

There are two poems that once had
much favor and were read with
exceeding interest-"Festus' and The
Drama of Exile" Fifty years ago the
cultivated people of Great Britain and
the United States were reading "Fes-
Sus." 1t was regarded by highly in
tellectual men in the south as of very
decided merit We recall that our old
schoolmaster at Raleigh, the late
James M. Lovejoy, Of blessed memory,
who loved poetry and wrote original
verse of some excellence, told us in
1S47, we believe it was, that it was a
very extraordinary production. We
heard the late able Henry w. Miller,
one of the foremost men Of the state
then, when there were many able men
fiving-Ruffin, the elder, Pearson, Bad
ger, Bragg, Saunders, Venable, Gra-
ham and score of others-and among
lawyers one of the best educated and
best read in polite literature, speak in
high praise of "Festus." The maya
zines, reviewers, and leading newspa-
pers of those times all laudcd this
startlingly brilliant poem. Were they
mistaken? Is "Festus" really of no
permanent force, yapid, weak, disor-
dered, of no significance? What reve-
lation have the critics and readers of
the last thirty years had that was with
held from the best equipped readers of
a half century since? The fashion in
letters may have changed, but poetry
Is poetry, and when it has the genuine
