c. A Harbaugh, Secretary OF the Brook
land Citizens Association, has written to
the Commissioners asking for as generous
share as possible Of the appropriation
for tree planting during the next fiscal
year In part Mr.. Harbaugh says:
I'm this connection l beg leave to call
your attention to the almost entire alb
sence of trees along the streets OF Brook
land A considerable number of trees
were set out several years ago by the
owners of subdivisions, but they either
failed to get correct lines or else the sur
veys have been changed by the District,
as these trees are not found to be in the
line of sidewalks, and when new walks
are laid IL is necessary to cut them down,
and that just at a period when they have
begun TO be both ornamental and useful
for shade"

O. w. Guerdrum. of 40 Jefferson Street,
Anacostia, has sent to the Commissioners
a receipt of the unused balance of deposit
made for repairing cobblestone pavement
in front of his premises He complains
that the work was not done IN satis-
factory manner.
The complaint was referred to the En-
gineer Department, and w. A. Lasham,
in reporting his Investigations, said:
Medium sized cobblestone was used N
this driveway to give the best looking
work, and il was found in perfect condi-
ton. aside from the recent heavy rains
having washed some gravel out of IT. At
! the writer's request some broken stone
/ has been put outside the apron, and the
] cost of the work, sl.9S, has been deducted
/ from the first rebate, as the work was
done at the writer 5 request, and the force
employed to do the work was taken from
| a whole cost job"
c. b Hunt, the Computing Engineer,
! in forwarding the papers to the Engineer
/ Commissioner, states that the paving
done in this locality is equal to the best
/ that the District is able to do of this
class, and that 1t is the nature of cobble-
| stone pavement to have the qualities de-
! scribed until a short lapse of time, es-
| pecially until the wet weather makes the
! pavement set. Mr.. Hunt states that this
| has already been explained to the COM
/ plalnant on the ground, and he states
| that he has nothing more to add to the
! record
The Commissioners have approved the
reports.

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word OF a most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Deiinedtor, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins q
new century, The Deiineator offers to dstri-
butte sl7,500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that woman living in
a small town or village, has just as good a
chance TO win one of these 1901 prizes as
woman living in a city--because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured IN town in proportion TO the popu-
latlon of that Town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list OF
ubscribers-which, of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
OF the plan is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass l.
and AS these cities are not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty-eight; the high
est prize being $500, and the lowest S. 90.
The total amount Of prizes given away in tins
class is $1,000. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into SIX other classes and as
tie number Of towns in class increases. be-
cause, OF course, there are more small towns
than large oHes. the amount of prizes given
away to a class increases so that in Glass I
NIN'' via 'e 9i''0o u'9HiOu'eu "i'ons roA
wluuors.
Furthermore to everyone who fails TO win
one OF the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every Two hundred in
habirnts Of ne town from which the con-
teSttnt sends them.
This is Altogether very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Delinedtor is we'll
able TO make good From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers of The Delrneator, for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers. Its strong hold upon the afiec-
tons of American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters

statement that had it not been for
Colorado Springs, the untold wealth
of Cripple Greek would to this day
have remained buried in the earth.
So much for mining.
Turning to agricultural possibili-
ties, will close by citing the devel-
opment that has been accomplished
in the Pecos Valley of New Mexico.
Twelve years ago all of that region,
save a small area, was part of the
Great American Desert. The atten-
tion of invalids was, in 1888, directed
TO the great possibilities of that val
ley under irrigation. Invalids raised
and expended there Sz,5oo,ooo upon
one of the grandest and most COM
plete irrigation systems in America.
Since that time prosperous and popu-
lous cities have been built and more
than ten millions of dollars have been
invested in Transforming the desert
into one of the most healthful, pro-
ductive, and beautiful spots in the
arid regions, thereby afording the
invalid an opportunity to acquire
home where life can be prolonged
add enjoyed, made possible by irri-
cation.
With these illustrations and facts
which can be multiplied almost in
definitely, again ask, in what way
can the nation render more lasting
and profitable assistance to the whole
people, than by liberal construction
and support OF irrigation reservoirs?

Traffic of the Seine.

Every one knows that Paris Is on
the Seine, but very few people know,
or perhaps care to know, the amount
of traffic along its waters. The traffic
is much more than people imagine.
The Minister of Public Works has
published some statistics which
show that during 1900 no less than
5o,o4S boats of various sizes were at
work on the Seine. The boats car
ried 100000 tons of merchandise,
of which 649,o37 tons were used in
Paris. But what OF the little pas
senger steamers that are seen gliding
from pier to pier? Well, they num-
Der 1871. They can each carry from
225 to 400 passengers, and last year
they conveyed about 27,ooo,ooo pas
sengers.

A STRANGE CASE.
A Nadsw0rth Girl Discovers Brother Uunder
Strange Circumstances.

a Denver dispatch says: Intro
duced through the medium of a
matrimonial agency, Arnold Living
ston of Auburn, Neb., and Miss Lena
Jefferson OF Wadsworth, New. met
in Denver this week, intending to be
married, and to the utter amaze
ment Of both discovered that they
We're orphaned brother and sister,
separated since they were mere
children.
Twenty-three years ago, in New
York City, Arnold Sheffield died
leaving a young wife and two
children, boy of six years and d
girl just big enough to toddle around.
Less than a year later the mother
died and through the New York
Orphans Home Society the little
waits Were placed in permanent
homes. Arnold, the boy, was adopt
ed by Pennsylvania family by the
name OF Livingston, and by his
adoption his name was changed to
livingston. Afterward the family
removed to eastern Nebraska, where
they have since lived.
a family by the name of Jefferson
in Ohio adopted the girl. Later they
moved to Texas and then to Colorado,
and as it develops, the adopted
parents of the young woman have
been residents of Nevada for more
than fifteen years.
The young man, when grown, dis
covered that his grandfather, who
had disowned his father, left a con-
siderable estate in Cuyahoga county,
Ohio. A little more than year ago
the estate was settled and Arnold
received his portion, several thou
sand dollars, which he used to stock
his Nebraska ranch.
Then he urged the Nevada young
woman to become his bride. She
consented, but wanted the date post
poned until she had completed a
course in music at Sacramento. She
finished the second week in June
and was graduated with honors.
Returning to her Nevada home, she
hurriedly arranged tor the wedding,
which it had been decided should
take place in Denver.
The papers she brought with her
established their relationship. The
correspondence that brought them
together was begun three years ago,
when Livingston advertised in a
matrimonial paper stating his pur-
pose as amusement.

Recent Work of the Division of Forestry.

The result of the work of the Di-
vision has been to turn practical for
estry in the United States from
doubtful experiment into an assured
success. Special studies of some of
the most important trees, CONNER
cially, have been made, from which
can be calculated their probable fut-
ure yield. Cheap methods of har-
vesting the present lumber crop
without injuring the productivity
of the forest have been put in opera
ton. Such concerns as The Great
Northern Paper Company and The
Deering Harvester Company have
been led to undertake conservative
management Of their forest proper
ties. Meanwhile, the work OF tree
planting. particularly in the almost
treeless Western States of the plains,
has been furthered; the relation OF
the forest to the volume of streams,
erosion, evaporation, and irrigation
have been studied; matters connect
ed with irrigation and water supply
have been investigated hopeful pro-
gress has been made in the direction
of regulating grazing in the West
ern reserves in a manner fair both
to the important interests of cattle
and sheep owners and to those who
look to the reserves as a source of
continuous supply of wood and
water; and studies of forest fires
Were conducted with view of re-
ducing the great yearly loss from
this source, loss which has been
estimated at S5o,ooo,ooo.
Field work is to go on this Sum
mer in II States. There are in all
I79 persons engaged in the work of
the Bureau. OF this number 81 are
student ssistants-young men,
largely college students, who expect
to enter forestry as profession, and
who serve during the Summer on
small pay for the sake of the expert
ence gained.
