Mrs. Steigemann is lying at the
Queens Hospital with two bullet
wounds In her body and the doctors
who were operating upon her at mid
night gave little hope of her recovery.
Steigemann has a bullet in his brain
and his recovery seems impossible.
1t was at sos o'clock last evening
that the dwellers in the Honolulu Hote
on Nuuanu street near Vineyard were
startled by the sound of three revolver
shots in rapid succession and the
screams of a woman coupled with the

THE FOREST TREE NURSERY
THEME DISCUSSED IN BULLETIN OF
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Study of the GrOwths Adapted to the
Various Conditions - The
TreeIess West.

THE Forest Nursery forms the theme
of the latest bulletin issued by the De-
psrtment of Agriculture The work was
prepared under the direction of Clifford Pin
chot, chief forester, by Geo. H. Sudworth,
dcndrologist IF the division of forestry. The
art of raising forest tree seedlings and plant
ing trees is but little known among farmers,
says the bulletin. and yet for ahem it has
very great economic interest.
For the farmer Of the eastern wooded
country the study Of how to grow trees ras
not yet reached, nor Is it likely to reach,
the same degree Of Importance for the
western farmer. The eastern farmer has
often to consider only what trees shall be
allowed 10 grow up and what shall be in
troduced while the western farmer has to
consider what may be grown and how.
The greater interest centers about the west
ern planter because of his greater need fer
wood material and also because the growth
of trees under his conditions is most diff
cult.
The Importance Of establishing wood lots
or shelter belts on farms that lack them IL
no less obvious than the necessity for rails
Ing the staple crops. The provident farmer
cannot afford to buy fire wood, fence posts
or building timber any more than he can
AFFORD to buy corn and wheat. A part If
not all. or the WOOD material used on the
farm can and should be grown there. The
profit this timber growth, rightly be-
longs to the farmer, and 1t is therefore one
which economic agriculture cannot neglect.
Prairie Region.
The relative value of wood lots in the
prairie region and the wooded east is, of
course. different to the prairie farmer. The
possession Of a wood lot affording posts.
rails, poles and frewood Is of very great
Importance since. being in a treeless region
and distant from the sources of wood sup
ply, he would otherwise be compelled TO
pay high prices for such material. The
eastern farmer is less dependent. even
though his wood lot has been cut OF. for
he lives in a county where posts, fuel and
lumber are comparatively cheap.
The scope of the farmers tree planting
will necessarily be small. In order to be
entirely successful. smaller planting
operations should give results within one
mans lifetime. To accomplish this, the
farmer tree planter must confine his atten-
ton chiefly to quick-growing trees.
The efforts under the timber culture act
to establish forest growth in the pains
region of the west can hardly be said to
have been successful beginnings in forest
planting: they were, however attempts to
meet the great necessity for timber in that
region. Their failure has not demonstrated
that trees cannot be grown there. but rather
that there is need of better system and a
more intimate knowledge OF the special re-
Qulrements of trees under trying condi
tons. For however little evidence there
Is now that forests once existed to any ex-
tenf on the western plains, 1t Is believed

South Dakota has two unusually &C.
tive and promising members of the
lower house. Both Mr.. Gamble and
Mr.. Burke have made an uncommonly
favorable impression and for new men,
bers and representing a state SO new
and SO small, population considered,
as South Dakota, they have received a
great deal of recognition. Mr.. Gamble
was given a chair manship and all the
advantages in the way of committee
room, clerk, ETC., that accompany it. A
great honor was paid him when he was
called to the chair to preside over the
first evening session held ythe house.
That was certainly a great compliment
aud n which all our people will ap-
preciate. Mr.. Gamble is a man of
high attainments, a ready speaker and
a hard worker, and commands the
highest respect of his colleagues. He
will be a positive force in legislation
pertaining to the northwest and his
judgment and experience will be
drawn upon by the leaders and older
members of the house. His member
ship upon mines and mining will be
especially gratifying to his Black Hills
constituency, who will thus have a per-
sonal representative where their prin-
cipal interests are involved.-Minneap-

PETT1eREw Is OF THE PAST.

Congressman Gamble while on his
way home to spend Christmas was in
terviewed in Sioux City bya represent
alive of the Sioux City Journal, and
gave the following regarding South
Dakota, a state that is rapidly becom-
ing recognized as one of the best states
in the Union. He expressed the belief
that the republicans would carry
South Dakota next year by $4,000, that
Senator Pettigrew would go down in
defeat and that Pettigrewism would be
forever laid away.
''The republican victory will be most
thorough and sweeping" declared Mr..
Gamble. democracy and populism
everywhere i'll the state will be over
whelmed and afterward once again
South Dakota may be counted upon as
safely republican. The majority in
the state next fall will not be less than
$4,000. l make this prediction upon
my best judgment formed from that
close acquaintance with the situation
which a residence in the state of twen-
ty-four years gives me.
eSouth Dakota never was SO prosper.
o us as it is today. Its farmers and it's
N erchants have more money than they
ever had before and they do not want
any change in the administrative pol
icy of the government. They do not
want the flag torn down. The strong
est evidence of their satisfaction is
found i'll a study of the vote of the
state in 1898 and the vote of last
month in a judicial election, with ap-
athy throughout the country and q re-
p ublican majority of 6,OOO."
Mr.. Gamble recognises the interest
of South Dakota in the settlement of
the Sioux City and Pacific indebted
ness to the government. He said all
Of eastern and northern South Dakota
was interested in having the North
western system in that state connected
with Sioux City by the proposed link
from Centerville, and he thought that
Sioux City and South Dakota we're
mutually interested in having the old
ind ebtedness of the road to the govern
ment settled. He said he would be
glad to do whatever he could to assist
in the passage of the bill which has
been introduced by REPRESENTATIVE Lot
Thomas and which now is in the hands
Of the Pacific railroads committee.
