The director of the Oklahoma sta
ton says: Many of the trees that were
planted for shade and fruit this spring
are already dead. Many more will die
before the summer is past The chief
cause for this loss has been and will
De neglect Assuming that the trees
nave been planted properly and that
tney were of sorts adapted to Okla
homa conditions, at least 95 per cent
or those planted should live and thrive.
Orchardists as rule give their trees
every needed attention and lose but
few trees The most notable example
or intermittent enthusiasm may be
seen along the streets of towns and
cltles- When spring comes, nearly
every one plants trees as a matter Of
course or to get rid of some tree agent.
Too often when the planting is done.
no further attention is given. After
planting, the dirt is often piled up in
nice mound about the base of the
trees, possibly with the notion that
this will hold the tree in place. The
result is that what rain falls is drained
away from the roots of the trees in
stead of toward them. Instead there
should be slight depression about the
trees SO as to get little excess of wa
ter If possible and let it soak in. Gull
uvation throughout the summer
should be given If trees are wanted.
The growth of the trees will be better
If all the space between them is cul-
tivated after every rain. This is hard
ly desirable about the house and the
next best thing is to cultivate a space
about the trees. The soil should be
hoed and kept loose for a space of
from three to five feet about the trees.
the larger the cultivated space, the
better. 1t isn't hard matter to grow
trees If one will give them little at
tention right along and will think of
them as crop that should be culti-
waited if good growth is expected. A
treeless town is always cherries to
the stranger, while streets bordered
with thrifty trees are attractive and
are appreciated by all. Cultivate the
trees every time it rains and some
times between times

Showing Dete-iorase. Birds.

The man that makes a business of
showing fowls must expect to meet
many losses. The writer has been
told that in some cases exhibitors
have lost half of their fowls in a sin
gle seasons campaign. Besides the
loss of birds from colds, diseases, ex-
posure and so forth there is further
loss in the deterioration of the birds
shown, even though they come out #
the ordeal without losing a feather.
In the first place, during the time in
which they are being fitted they are
kept penned up and fed high This
hurts the breeding qualities of the
males and the egg laying qualities of
the females. The necessary prepara-
ton for showing is directly adverse to
the qualities desired in breeding or
laying stock. After the birds are out
of the shows they must have consid-
erable time in which to recuperate.
For this reason birds that have been
shown a great deal are looked upon
with suspicion as to their breeding
qualities A man must take all these
things into consideration when he goes
into the show with his best birds. He
must consider if the advertisement he
is to get will compensate for the in
evitable losses of various kindc

declared unequivocally his assent to

versy by the commission appointed by
President Roosevelt.
lie has called convention. as pre-
scribed by the laws of the union. to

It Is predicted with apparent conf
dence that work in the mines will be
resumed next Thursday.
President Roosevelt late last night
received a telegram from Mitchell
outlining what he had done toward
getting the arbitration plan accepted
by the miners in convention Monday.
Preparations have been made by the
local carrying roads to bring coal TO
the seaboard with the greatest possi-
Bile speed. Dealers say the stringeacy
in the supply will be passed in two
weeks and that almost normal condi-
tions will prevail in another month.

triumph IL the subject Of long dis
patches and editorial articles In all

congratulations are also extended TO
J. r. Morgan. The opinions expressed
are a measure Of the relief felt in
England. The Standard says:
british consumers have more than
an altruistic interest in the settlement
OF the strike, for had It lasted another
month the cost Of coal might have
risen here TO an unvelcone figure"
The News and the Chronicle con.
Send that President RDoseveis's action
's great lesson for British states
men. The Telegraph says
american trades unionism. by Sc
curing a reference TO arbitration. has
achieved a precedent which may be
far reaching. for IL suggests unmistak-
ably that the spread Of labor organi.
cations across the Atlantic may prove
TO be a more rapid and powerful check
upon the trusts than either tariff re-
form or federal amendment

feels deeply grateful for the outcome.
lie regards IL as honorable TO both

prominent In the movement TO secure
a settlement of the differences be-

particularly pleased with the outcome
OF the presidents efforts TO put an
end to the strike. and especially as
organized labor is specifically recog-
niEed in the makeup Of the arbitration

General Manager A. c. RidEway. at

rado upon a scale never before at.
tempted by any railway Of the state.

posits. the farm lands. the climate and
other resources. lie will engage sew.

way in speaking OF the subject. "a
railroad company aivertises the ad.
vantages of the country through which
IL passes. after the road is completed
and in operation. Ny idea Is 10 have
thorough explorations made and TO
supply the information TO all inguifers
in advance of railway construction. In
this way We may be able TO have
good local business when the road
comes along. The country will be in
some degree settled up. and mines will
be opened for shipment OF ore. From
what I have seen in Routt county the
possibilities are beyond ordinary com.
putation. and II we are able to set
plainly before the people the advant.
ages of the region there IL no doubt
at all of a large influx Of settlers. Even
on this side of the Continental divide
there are fine opportunities for pros.
pectofs and miners. and We will try TO
be in a situation to tell what those op-
portunities are. The Information
bureau Of our railway Is an idea that
has been pressing on my mind for
some time. and my recent visit TO
Steamboat Springs convinced me thai
the bureau should be put In operation
as soon as possible. We hope TO do
some real good for Colorado. and also
for the railroad. through this means"
Headquarters of the bureau will be
opened in the Majestic building. Mr..
Ridgvay favors large rooms on the
ground floor for this purpose. as the
exhibits will occupy quite large
space.
