URGE THAT MORE TREES BE PLANT
ED.

Arbor Day has passed, and this is not
the time of year to plant trees, but as
we now appreciate shade and note the
benefit to the country by reason Of
thousands of trees having been planted
in years past, we cannot resist the
temptation or the inspiration to urge
that more trees be planted. Nemaha
county is pretty we'll supplied with
young forests, it is true, but there are
thousands of acres that could be put to
no better use than to be planted to trees.
If we could just be "Big Injun" for one
season we would see that catalpas, elms,
naples, or even box-elders were put out
in the waste places and about the homes
of the people.-Nemaha Granger.

now resembles that of the Ohio, or up
per Mississippi; and it is remarkable that
the bluffs rise from the river only on
the right bank, for 200 miles below this
point; they are here crowned with for
ests. On the north side is wonderful
bottom, perfectly level and averaging
about three miles in width; about
half mile of this, nearest the river, is
almost invariably lofty forest,-be-
yond, beautiful savanna. About 400
square miles Of exceedingly rich and
beautiful, level, and well -watered ground
IN a body! Thirty-five miles lower, we
passed the mouth of the Riviere de
Table, running from the south five
miles lower, there is remarkable pass,
where a bluff of vertical rock pro-
jects into the river, where it is not
above $50 yards wide.
"The next day we passed the mouth
of the little Nemehaw, just below which
is apparently fine place for building
bluff handsomely sloped, and sufficient
timber: and, it is said, vein of stone
coal close at hand. About three miles
lower is the most beautiful spot have
seen on the river. Not far from here
the Ottos last winter killed forty elks in
deep snow with their tomahawks.
They arrived safely at "Cantonment"
Leavenworth on the third evening.
This mention of "Riviere de Table"
is noteworthy. 1t shows not only that
Table Greek bore it's name as early as
1881, but indicates further that, like the
Elkhorn, Papillion and the great Platte
itself, it was christened in the very ear
liest days of fur-trading by the French
voyageurs. It may not be too much to
hope to learn yet why they so named
it.
It is also to be noted that the two
creeks had but one mouth at that time,
and that this was five miles up stream
perhaps joined with Walnut Creek, as
the writer has been informed was the
case in the sos. Certainly the "bluff
of vertical rock" near the remarkably
narrow channel, can have been no
other than the bluff just above the
Nebraska City bridge, where the first
levee was located.

winter, they are never troubled with
smoke. Many are much larger, but this
it the usual size, in which several fami-
lies live. The village consists Of about
fifty Of these lodges; close by are pens
Of wattled canes, for the security of the

acres of corn on the fiat below, with the
slightest attempt at fencing, but dis

They were unable to cross the Platte,
so RATED a single man over to make hi9
way for aid to "attrading house, 80
miles above, on the Missouri " He rel
turned next day, "bringing with him al
half breed and the old Frenchman,
Barada, the semi-amphibious, universal
interpreter, and father of forty child
ren." These auxiliaries assisted them
to cross in boat which they made of
two elk skins ; the colonel had to strip
and help push, and nearly perished with
cold. He admired the Elkhorn when
he came to it, but not the Papillion; and
"having ridden 25 miles in an E. N. E.
direction, we arrived this afternoon at
Cabanne's trading house, which is a few
miles below old Fort Atkinson, on
Council Bluff, and were delighted at
having accomplished the last of our
difficulties; which had their origin and
aggravation in cold rains"
Here they learned that the Otoes had
been gone ten days; "they fear the
smallpox, Which is here reported to be
at Liberty, Missouri. -Four or five hun
doed of the Pawnees have died of the
influenza, which has passed through
this region as an epedemic. Winter,
spring and summer, the weather is very
damp and cold" The summer of 1881
was therefore very much like that Of
1901 in Nebraska.
They spent a few days here hoping
for "the Fur Company's steamboat,
Yellow Stone," to come by. There
was doubt as to her getting down that

When they decided to return, they
secured an unsound canoe and embarked,
having with them five pounds of salt

THE TORRENS LAW.

AA1 AVNCNGN0 LAW.
A notable feature of real estate mat
ters during last week, in Chicago, was
the report of the Torrens committee of
the real estate board on the rapidly
growing sentiment in favor of this sys-
tenn of land transfer. The report, which
was submitted by William A. Bond, of
the committee at recent meeting of
the board, contained among the list of
names of those who expressed their un-
qualified Endorsement Of the system,
practically all those whose support has
been desired by the friends of the sys-
tenn. So fully do they represent the
great real estate interests of the city as
to make the report a complete vindica-
tiOn of the merits of the system.
In the report submitted month ago
there was list of fifty-five real estate
and mortgage firms who had indicated
their willingness to accept certificate of
title issued by the registrar of title of
Cook county in making mortgage loans
The report submitted by Mr.. Bond last
week contained the names of over LOO
leading attorneys and real estate firms,
nineteen building and loan associations,
and large number of property owners.
In addition, the sanitary district, the
Pennsylvania railroad company, and the
Chicago and Western Indiana railroad
company expressed their willingness to
accept certificate from the registrar as
satisfactory evidence of title to any
property that the respective bodies and
corporations may desire to purchase.
1t is only after long struggle that
the system has succeeded in effectually
winning it's way into the favor of those
interests centered about real estate. 1t
was first introduced to the Illinois legis-
lature in 1891. The first law was de-
clared unconstitutional, but the present
law, passed in 1897, was pronounced
valid by the supreme court.
1t is claimed for the system that
title registered under it can be dealt
with more safely, quickly, and mex
pensively than under the old system.
The expense of the first registration, in
most cases about 1874, is not equal to the
cost of an abstract since the Chicago
fire, if there have been many transfers;
and the cost of each subsequent trans
fer under the Torrens system, SO, is
much less than the expense of con-
tinuation of abstract While of real
and permanent benefit to all land own
ers, the law is of special value to smaller
property holders, to whom the present
system is source of never-ending and
heavy expense. Chicago Tribune.
