TOO MUCH MONEY NOW.

Banks Over the State Find 1t Difficult to
Place Their Surplus of Cash.
While at Sioux Falls the other day
National Bank Examiner Silsby of this
city was interviewed as to the condition
OF banking and business over the state.
Mr.. Silsby's remarks appeared in the
Minneapolis Tribune under Sioux
Falls date line, and are appended as
follows:
Geo. A. Silsby, national bank exam
iner for South Dakota, in an interview
here, spoke enthusiasticly OF the i'm
proved conditions in South Dakota, and
particularly as evidenced by the change
in the conditions of the banks. While
two years ago the total deposite OF the
national banks OF the state we're little
over four millions OF dollars, today
they have reached seven millions.
Two years ago the banks were short OF
cash and were scheming to get hold of
more money in order to accommodate
their customers and still remain secure.
Today they do not know what to do with
their cash. The national banks at
| Aberdeen are making commercial
losns freely at six per cent. and are
glad to let their surplus out at that rate
OF interest One small national bank
has recently made loan at five per
cent. The First National, of Yankton,
has not only refused to longer pay in
terest but has refused to accept new &C.
counts, being unwilling to assume the
responsibility for money which could
not be loaned. Banks all over the state
are having hard work to place thei.
money. let alone that OF depositors
! All this, while unsatisfactory to the
bankers, speaks volumes for the i'm
proved condition of the people of the

Is the Marriage Legal.

A young gentleman secured mar
riage license in this county last week
and went over into Sanborn county and
had the ceremony performed by the
preacher at Letcher. This WAS done
in violation of law, which requires the
marriage to be performed in the
county where the license is procured.
The minister in making his return to
the county clerk stated tnat he had
performed number OF marriages in
similar cases, supposing that it was
legal The question arises, is this

A very bad accident occurred at the
home of Michael Dougherty, four miles
northwest of Mt. Vernon, Friday after
noon in which Mrs. Dougherty received
such injuries as to cause her death a
few hours later. In the afternoon Mrs,
Dougherty WITH girl was cleaning
some beds upstairs for which she en-
ployed the use of gasoline. She only
had small quantity in saucer not to
exceed three teaspoonsful. In putting
the gasoline on the bed she poured
little too much on and it dripped on
the floor near the saucer. She touched
match to it to burn it up and becom-
ing afraid that it would set fire to the
house she endeavored to whip it out
with the end of her apron. The girl
endeavored to dissuade her from doing
that, saying that the fire would burn
out with no damage, but Mrs. Dough-
erty was frightened and continued to
Finally her clothes caught fire and she
started down stairs to 60 out and call
in the men from the field, thinking that
the house would burn. The girl again
tried to keep her in the house but to no
avail. Before the men could reach the
house Mrs. Dougherty's clothes were
ablaze and were burned completely be-
fore they got 10 her. All the time her
clothes were burning not a murmur
escaped her lips, seeming to bear the

Wood, and not gold. is the basis Of
national wealth.
Trees shelter animals and homes from

Trees furnish material for great va
riety of useful things
''The tree is the father Of the rain

Trees improve the climate by shelter

Children can inspire the tree and

Children should plant trees along the
highways if such work is not done by

"The wealth, beauty, fertility and
healthfulness of the country largely de-
pend upon the conservation Of our for
ests and the planting of trees. -
GAS the leaves of trees are said to
absorb all noxious qualities of the air
and to breathe forth purer atmosphere,
so it seems as if they drew from us all
sordid and angry passions and bresthed
forth peace and philanthropy
When it is desirable to SOW seeds
rather than to transplant, they should
be placed in fertile and we'll drained
land, in places sheltered from cold or
hot winds and drought. Seeds of trees
should be gathered as soon as fallen. If
the season is dry, they must be watered
and tended after being planted.

Waste Timber Lands.

There are in Minnesota nearly 8, OOO,- :
600 acres Of waste land, from which the
trees have been cut, and on which no
taxes will ever be paid. These lands are
Ieverting to the state for nonpayment
Of taxes as fast as the lumbermen can
get rid of them Active steps are being
taken by members of the coming state
legislature and others interested toward
the outlining Of plan by which the
state shall gradually reforest these mil
lions Of acres and hold the lands as q
public property to be numbered as occa-
sion may require and the state may di-
rect. It is claimed that millions of dol
lars can be earned by this course, and
that the numbering industry in Mime
sofa can be continued indefinitely and
almost uninterruptedly. ~
These new lands, if forested at once,
will be ready for the ak by the time
the present forests are gone, if the
young trees on the present timbered
lands are preserved and not ruined by
)he process of cutting those now large
enough to make board. In Europe
the forested acres earn from ~ cents to
several dollars per acre per year.

THE TREES.

Gods trees are very wise, my child
Oh, wise are his old trees! IT, .. p
'Tis only we who fret about
Our grave eyed mothers knees.
And when that grave old mother comes
And puts us all to bed,
Still those wise trees shall stand above
Our graves when we are dead.
And he oft tries their strength, my child,
With his gruf wind and storm:
But in their heart the sap turks sweet;
The waiting blood lies warm. -.
But they all spring raise glad green arms
In praise for blessings past,
The sturdier for each wintry day,
The better for each blast. ...--
Yes. they are very wise, my child
Wordless and wise and strong
And very good their thoughts must be;
God let's them live so long.

SHADE TREES IN HEALTHY GROWTH.

SHADE TREES IN HEALTHY GROWTH.
sock moth are the most destructive. To
keep these pests in check requires much
vigilance and labor if undertaken by in
dividual citizens.
AS our cities grow older and our citi-
zens grow wiser more and more trees
will appear along their streets, soften
ing and breaking the bare dull lines and
ugly badness of brick walls and mo-
notonous roofs and house tops. protect
ing man from the heat Of the sun in
summer and from the fury of-the wind
in winter. It has often been said that
God made the country and man made
the city. It still remains for man to
make his creation more like Gods by
identifying and enriching his handi-
work with those priceless trees which
covered the hills and valleys long before
the first city came into existence. j.

another is the menace of natural and
artificial gas poisoning, another the
deadly smoke of furnace and factory,
and still another the attacks of insects.
While copious enough rains may fall
over city, tagging and modern pave
ments carry it swiftly off by way of the
cutters into the sewers, where other
wise it would slowly percolate through
the soil and be drink for the thirsty
roots of the trees. The remedy, if trees
are to be planted where the rain that
soaks down in the soil is insufficient
for the health or life of the tree is to
convey to their roots by artificial means
the necessary moisture. In such cities
as Salt Lake City and Denver, where
vegetation has to endure prolonged
drought each year, irrigation pipes for
the purpose of supplying water to the
city trees have been successfully intro
duced. In our eastern cities the water
cart is found to be an effective remedy
Another question to which city tree
planting associations are directing their
timely attentions is the careless laying
and jointing Of gas pipes in the streets
This permits leakage and the absorption
of the poisonous gases by the soil, and
Indirectly brings about the death of
many fine city shade tree. The equally
malignant sulphurous fumes that come
from factory chimneys will not disap-
pear until a complete combustion of
smoke in cities is enforced by law. All
of our native trees, however, are not
deleteriously affected by these smoke
fumes, the American elm being almost
entirely immune.
It naturally follows that the most de-
sirable shade trees for cities will be
those having sufficient hardihood of con-
stitution to Withstand the unhealthy
emanations Of chimneys and gas mains,
and strong enough to endure the cold Of
our winters and the drafts Of our
summers Pre-eminent among its fel-
lows, in its ability to do this stands the
American elm. It is not a fast growing
tree, but it's massive trunk, its thick
crown of foliage and it's gracefully in
terlacing branches make it beautiful
object. Long colonnades Of full grown
elms can already be seen in many New
England towns, forming beautiful gothic
arches Of shade and verdure. Next, per-
haps, comes the sugar maple (Acer
saccharinum), which attains a long life
and is model of symmetrical growth.
The silver leaf maple will thrive in
damp soil, so if planted in urban streets
must be well watered. Its one other
fault as shade tree is that, while be-
ing the fastest growing variety Of tree
in our country, there is always dan
ger of its larger limbs giving way be-
fore high winds.
The red oak is an excellent shade tree,
but to be successfully transplanted must
be nursery grown. In the nursery the
young oak is deprived of it's taproot,
and consequently sends out lateral roots
not entering too deeply in the ground.
The Carolina poplar has the advantage
Of being very speedy grower and. like
the native horse chestnut, seems to en-
joy peculiar immunity from all at
tacks of insects dangerous to more deli
cate growths.
Of these insects that attack city
shade trees certain borers and the tus-

Cutting of Christmas Trees.

The recent protest Of J. Sterling Nor
ton of Nebraska against the cutting of
Christmas trees is warmly commended
il. that section. In his protest he said:
'The trees selected for slaughter on
this anniversary are always the straight
est and most symmetrical. There were
last year more than 20,0O0,0O0 of
Christmas trees cut down and put on
the market. The absurdity of celebrat-
ing the birth of the Saviour of the world
by a wanton waste and extravaganza
which jeopardize the welfare Of mil
lions of human beings yet unborn is OBJ
vious to every thinking man."
