Trees Prevent Evaporation.

Tree planting for an unusual pur
pose has been recommended to resi-
dents of the western irrigation dis
tricts by W. /. Hall. assistant super
intendent of tree planting of the di.
vision of forestry, who has recently
been in New Mexico on an invcStiga-
ton. Agriculture in that region de-
pends largely on irrigation, and the
streams and reservoirs are much de-
plcted by evaporation due to the heat
and dry winds. Mr.. Hall recommends
that belts of trees be planted along
every ditch and reservoir, not only
to shade them, but to shelter them
from wind. The problem Of prevent
ing evaporation is very important. not
only on account Of the loss OF water,
but because the percentage Of Alkali
in the quantity remaining becomes
excessive.

vast audience with little saving Of his
vitality. And that Sunday he went
home ut night exhausted, with feel
ing of WEAKNESS partly due to his
work during the week among the peo-
nile. The calls upon his time and
strength had been incessant, and he
did not know where or when to stop.
II was three weeks after this SER
mon on church work that Philip was
again surprised BY his strange visitor
Of q month before. He had been out
making some visits In company with
his wife. When they came back to the
house, there sat the Brother Man On
the doorstep.
At sight Of him Philip felt that same
thrill Of expectancy which had passed
over him at his former appearance.
The old man stood up and took of
his hat. He looked very tired and sor-
rowful. But there breathed from his
entire bearing the element Of perfect
peace.

The question was put wistfully.
Philip was struck by the difference
between this almost shrinking request
and the self invitation of Il month be-
fore.
Yes, indeed. We have one spare
room for you. You are welcome. Come
in"
So they went in, and after tea the
two sat down together while Mrs.
Strong was busy in the kitchen. A
part of this conversation was after

wife. A part of it he afterward said
was unreportable-the manner Of tone,
the infection, the gesture of his re-
markable guest no man could repro
duce.

-Yes," replied Philip. You did not

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
the Good Road Question VIII
Become Less Serious.

This Is one OF the most important
questions Of the day. The question is:
Shall the improvement be made in the
roadbed. in the wagon or vehicles, or
both? 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the narrow-tircd wheels of the
wagon Of to-day do great damage to Il
roadbed in rainy and thawing wealth

when the widc-tired. lUw-w wheeled
wagon will take the place Of the pres

these low. widctircd wheels have already
been put in use. On most of these
wheels the tires are from three to six
inches wide. \ wheel of this kind helps
10 make a good road, whcrcon the mar
row-tircd wheel is the greatest manu-
facturcr of chuck holes on earth.

to-day. In France the heavy loads are
drawn on a wagon with tires from four

just enough narrower than the rear so
that the outer edge of the front wheel
tracks meet the inner edge Of the outer
wheels. This keeps continually rollins"

Another wrestling match is booked

including an award of
the title of Middleweight Champion,

ants will be Fred Beell, the Wood
county giant wrestler and champion
of the Northwest, against Ed. Adam
son of Indiana, who has never been
defeated in his class. The bout will
come off in Adler's Opera House next
Saturday evening, Feb. 3. Style will
be catch-as-catch-can, best three out
of five falls to win. Only pin falls to
count. The men go in at catch
weights. These two men met at
Marshtield last year and AdamSon
proved his superiority, although not
until after a very hard and fast
struggle. Beell has improved SO much
in science since that time that It is
hard to tell what may be expected
next Saturday. AS a poster on our
