Vermont Is a richly wooded area. This
IA true both as to the number and the
variety of its trees. Sever ty five kinds
grow wild within our borders, and many
more thrive under cultivation Most of
the native or Wild trees are of common
occurrences; sixty of the seventy-tlve
have been found within easy walking
distance OF the University at Burlington.
Much of Nermont's wealth is directly or
indirectly dependent upon its trees. Its
growing fame as region of summer
homes is largely because of its attractive
trees and forests. Moreover, this state
is peculiar in that the tree covered areas
are on the increase. 1t is well that this
Is so. for trees OF the right kind are the
most profitable crop that can be grown
on a considerable portion of the hills and
mountains. The intelligent fostering of
this tree gtowth. and the appreciation of
its beauty as we'll as of its value, is in a
considerable measure dependent upon
discriminating acquaintance with the
different llnds of trees found In our
forests. n order to aid in this the Yer
mont expeimeJt station has Just issued
an attractye bu Illetin on the trees of the
state. In bis 4 ach kind is described and
the main fees jAre stated regarding its
occurrenccand value. The primary aim
is. howevr, tot enable the reader to
identify tl2 various trees with certainly.
To aid in his accurate illustrations of
the leaf OF otherI parts are given for each
species. he bulletin is especially in
tended for the use of the public school
teachers a: an Pid In nature study. A
familiar a,quaih lance with the common
trees and other plants of the neigbor-
hood. together with their general
character and uses, should be, an es-
sential part OF the education of every
school boy and school girl. The bulletin
will however, le of interest to all OBJ
servers of our trees, and like all the
station pthrrts lions, will be sent free to
anyone Who wishes 1t. Requests for
this bullain sb build be addressed to the
experiment stat lion at Burlington.

CURED in Clatsop county was played
at Fort Stevens last Monday between
the Astoria and Fort Stevens teams.
| Talk about the atrocities committed
| by the Spanish against the poor Gu
bans, the Cubans don't know what bru-
tality is. The result of the game is
| that two soldiers are in the hospital
with broken legs; one had his knee
cap out of joint; one had two ribs
broken; one had his nose broken; one
has his face and head cut and bruised
in such manner that he will be dis
figured for life; VIM. Crosby, of the
Astoria team, is suffering from a
sprained ankle, and Tom Spencer is
laid up with broken leg. Nice game
ain'tit! Talk about prizefighting and
Spanish bull fighting! They are SIM
pie amusements compared with foot
ball. The laws of Oregon make rape
and prizefghting a crime. Better
make these legitimate sports and pro-
hibit football. A bill will be intro
duced in the next Legislature prohibit
Ing football in the state of Oregon.
Iuasmuch as about 70 people were
crippled in games played Christmas
and Monday, there is no doubt but
that the bill will become law, and
Astoria will advance another notch
from her barbaric state into civiliza-
tion,

UNITED STATES SENATOR SIMON
The Washington Post Gives the Senator
Fistterinr Notice.

The Washington Post Gives the Senator
Fiatterinr Notice.
Senator Simon, Of Oregon, is the
smallest man in the senate. As he
stood in the marble room the other
day, says the Washington Post, sur
rounded by q group Of enthusiastic
Oregonians, lowered above him until
he looked like hazel nut in the
bottom Of a quart measure. His di-
minutive size Is all the more noticeable
when it is remembered that the states
men who have represented Oregon in
the past have all been of large stature.
Senator Dolph was over six feet tall,
ex-senator Mitchell is we'll built, and
Congressman Ellis is as tall and as
straight as pine.
When he was a year old Senator
Simon took an ocean voyage. He
travelled with his father and mother
from Germany to the United States,
and reached Oregon when he was a
child of six years. Figuratively, but
not literally, he has grown up with
the west; but that his brain is very
large in proportion to: mis- body is
shown by the high position he has
achieved as a lawyer, and the promi-
nent part he plays as a political leader.
He has been delegaiei to the national
convention. which nominated Harri.
son at Minneapolis. Having been
elected senator, his cnp of ambition is
full, for he can never be president of

FISH PROPAGATION.

Commissioner Mcclure VIII Ask for g
$4,000 Appropriation.
st will require $4,000 year for
the next two or three years to operate
the state fisheries as they should be,
said Fish Commissioner Mcguire to q
Portland Telegram reporter.
"Ofthis amount" he continued, 1--WE
count on raising half from licenses,
and the state will be expected to fur
nish the remainder. 1t is simply out
of the question to talk about raising
all the funds needed now from licenses.
The isherymen and cannerymen could
not pay such licenses and compete
with Puget Sound and Alaska.
- ''An appropriation of s25, 900 for two
years is not asking much from the state
when the vast fishing industry is con-
sidered. Washington will be asked to
appropriate 100000, as against Ore
CONS $4,000.
"We expect to give a great deal of
attention to artificial Propagation, and
hope soon to have the waters so
thoroughly stocked that there will be
no more complaint of small catch.
GAS soon as we get the hatcheries
under way. considerable attention will
be turned to increasing the various
species of trout in Oregon waters.
SsTbara ia ynucb intorast manifested
throughout in the matter of stocking
the streams with trout, and also con-
cerning laws for their protection"
Mr.. MCGUIRE says that the destruc-
tion of trout by dynamite, by excess
i've catching and by fishing out Of
season must be stopped, and he viii
insist upon rigid laws being passed at
the coming session of the legislature.

The Same Over Here.


The Tacoma Ledger very pertinent
ly remarks: Eggs are worth so cents
dozen at Colfax, Whitman county.
1t would be policy for tho Whitman
farmers to raise million or two BUSH
els less wheat and put in a few acres
of hens. 1t is much cheaper to raise
a dozen eggs than bushel of wheat,
yet Whitman and other Eastern Wash
ington counties, which produced near
ly Is, ,0OO, 900 bushels. of wheat last year
import thousands OF dollars CT dairy
and hog products and eggs every year. :"
This is not only true in Washington
but in Oregon as we'll. The Dalles to-
day is being fed on imported eggs,
while the farmers are holding thous-
ands of bushels of wheat in the ware
houses that they cannot sell for more
than So cents bushel. Had they put
some of this wheat into hens they
would be getting two dollars a bushel
for 1t today.
