Gated to A~rboricuiture.

The annual proclamation Of the gov
ernor for the observance Of Arbor day
has been issued, az required by the
laws of the state. The second Tues
day in May is the day set aside by
legislative enactment when every
loyal person is expected to add to
the states growth of timber by plant
ing n or more trees. This year OBJ
servance of the day will have special
Significance, as Governor Toole rec
ommends that at least n tree set out
be dedicated to the memory OF the
late President Mckinley, in every COM
munity in the state where the day
is observed.
The proclamation Of his excellency
is as follows:
The legislature of this state has pro-
vided that, "For the purpose Of ad-
vancing the interests Of tree planting
and horticulture in this state, the e c
ond Tuesday in May is hereby desig-
mated as Arbor day, and it is the duty
Of the governor to annually make his
proclamation setting apart that day
for the planting Of trees and for beauti.
flying homes, cemeteries, highways,
public grounds and landscapes, and
the teachers in the public schools
must on that day instruct their pupils
az to the Importance of tree planting
and give practical lessons in lanscape
gardening"
And further
I'm order that the children in our
public schools shall assist in the work
of adjoining the school grounds with
trees, and to- stimulate the minds of
the children towards that benefit Of
preservation and perpetuation of our
forests and the growing Of timber, 1t
shall be the duty Of the authorities in
every public school district in this
state to assemble the children in their
charge on the above day in the school
building or elsewhere, as they may
deem proper, and to provide for and
conduct under the general supervision
Of the city superintendent, county SUI

or other school authorities having the

to- have and to hold such exercises as

preservation and protection Of trees
and shrubs, and an acquaintance with
the best methods to be adopted to &C.
complish such results"
I accordingly designate Tuesday,
May 10, 1902, as Arbor day, and urge
a general and cheerful observance of
the day.
Remembering the sad death of our
late lamented president, and how we'll
he loved the trees, and recalling the
morning Of his last day on earth when
he pleaded with his nurses to raise
the blinds that he might see the trees

that wherever Arbor day ceremonies

nation, at least M tree be planted in
