ARBORICULTURE.

Editor of The Conservative:
l have been much interested in your
articles in reference to the destruction
of timber. From study, travel and
observation, 1 know of no question so
important to the people of the United
States as the preservation Of their
timber supply. While in humid re-
gions the precipitation will create
quite rapid growth Of timber, in the
semi humid or arid sections, the
tionately slow, where the method
Of conveying food for growth is in any
manner lacking.
Increase.
Our first two tiers of countries from
the Missouri river show an increase
Of timber above what existed there
thirty-five years ago, but as we pro-
ceed westward it is doubtful if the
amount of timber in our state exceeds
the wild or natural amount, which
could have been found growing in the
valleys and along the water courses
and in the canons prior to the date
mentioned. In western central and
western Nebraska, with the eycep-
tion of the river valleys, the amount
now growing in no manner can COM
pare with the natural supply once
growing on the islands and borders
of the Platte and along the Loup,
Niobrara and Republican and it's
tributaries.
Scientific timber culture has never
yet been attempted, yet this is one of
the most vital questions that can be
presented to the people of the state.
In fact there is no question before the
people of our country which excels
this one in Importance. Referring to
history, we learn that in proportion
to the decrease in their supply of nat
ural timber. nations have deterior-
ated, declined and, in some cases,
become extinct. Our western states
of the mountain region will yet suffer
so seriously that their principal in
dustry, mining, will become so costly
through the lack of sufficient cheap
timber with which to pillar and case
their mines, that this industry will be
unable to be successfully followed.
This has already occurred in Nevada,
and Colorado is threatened with the
same peril.
Extinct.
Certain natural laws teach us that
where destruction occurs without re-
placement, that ultimately extinction
takes place. That the humidity of the
west is not increasing is one of the
emphasized facts which the United
States Weather Bureau has observed
That this detrimental condition exists
The Conservative, 1902-01-23

Prior to 1870, there was a continu-
GUS stream of water coming down the
South Platte river from Colorado. The
volume of water surging down the
North Platte was much greater than
at the present time. On the Rio
Grande the same conditions existed,
and even up to late in the summer
large supply of water formerly passed
by Ell Paso on the Mexican border.
The same condition of affairs is to be
found all over the mountains of the
west. This has been caused by the

KILLED BY CHICAGO THUGS.
Real Estate Dealer Shot and Dies
 Shortly Afterward.

Chicago, November 4-Because he re- sisted the efforts of thugs to relieve him of his valuables, Charles E. Bohlene, a Westside real estate dealer, was shot early this morning and died shortly after being taken to the county hospital. Boh- lene, with several other persons, was in Benjamin Marvoiglias' saloon at PA West Harrison street discussing politics, and at :30 the meeting broke up, and only Bohlene and the saloon-keeper remained, the two intending to go home together, as they lived but short distance from each other.
 The proprietor turned out the lights prepatory to going home, and was en- gagged in locking up at the back part of the store when Bohlene heard noise at the front door. He opened it and went to walk out, when he was confronted by four masked men with drawn revol- vers. Two of the robbers immediately went past Boylene into the saloon and proceeded to rifle the cash register. Bohlene was powerfully built man, and comprehending the situation, at onca started for one of the burglars who had remained on the outside, and with a punch sent him reeling to the sidewalk Seeing this the remaining robber fired at Bohlene, who fell mortally wounded
 The police have good descriptions of the men, but no trace of them nave yet been found.
