Ii is indeed gratifying TO note the deep
interest our Governor is stirring up in
this great work, as Well as that of edu-
cation. and as these interests are such as
will benefit the entire State. | feel all who
have her best interest at heart will
heartily endorse this public spirit on the
part of our Governor; and the people OF
the State should, in my opinion, lend
their best support and express them
selves freely, thereby encouraging him in
this great work.

TREES ALONGSIDE OF ROADS
Not only should brush and weeds be
removed from the roadside but grass
should be sown, trees, planted, and a
side path or walk be prepared for the
use OF pedestrians, especially women and
children going to and coming from
church, school, and places of business
and amusement. Country roads can be
made far more useful nd attractive than
they usually are, and this may be Sc
cured by the expenditure of only small
amount of labor and money. Although
such improvements are not necessary.
they make the surroundings attractive
and inviting, and add to the value of
property and the pleasure of the traveller
If trees are planted alongside the road
they should be far enough back to ad,ait
the wind and sun Zig. 800. Most strong
growing trees are apt to extend their
roots under the cutters and even be-
meath the roadway if they are planted too
close to the roadside. Even if they be
planted at "a safe distance those varieties
should be selected which send their roots
downward rather than horizontally The
most useful and beautiful tree CORE
spending with these requirements is the
chestnut. while certain varieties of the
pear cherry, and mulberry answer the
same purpose. Where there is no dan
ger of roots damaging the sub-drainage
or the substructure of the road some
other favorite varieties would be elms.
rock naples. horse-c hestnuts, beeches
pines, and cedars. Climate, variety of
species selected, and good judgment will
determine the distance between such
trees. Elms should be 80 feet apart
while the less spreading varieties need
not be so far. The trunks should be
trimmed TO a considerable height, So as
to admit the sun and air. Fruit trees are
planted along the roadsides in Germany
and Switzerland, while mulberry trees
may be seen along the roads in France.
serving the twofold purpose of food for
silkworms and shade. If some of our
many varieties of useful, fruitful and
beautiful trees were planted along the
roads in this country, and If some means
could be devised for protecting the pro-
duct, enough revenue could be derived
therefrom TO pay for the maintenance Of
the road along which they throw their
grateful shade.

PHOENIX AND EASTERN
Tracklsyins Began Last Monday
 Work Will Be Purshed Rapidly

The first rail on the Phoenix and Eastern track was laid yesterday and the grade is now assuming the shape of a railroad. The construction tIain arrived Sunday morning from the north and consisted of al engine and fourteen cars. the latter loaded with rails and the necessary tools.
 Work will be pushed rapidly. It is confidently believed that the graders can keep ahead of the construction gang. which consists of about 200 men. Since last week, however. the graders have been making slow prog ress on account of the hills and rocks.
 Arrangements are being made for the bridge at Tempe. although the county has signified its willingness to assist in constructing wagon road on each side of the track. A temporary bridge will be built, how ever, and trains will probably be run ming a year before the iron structure is completed.
 News from Benson is to the effect that the Phoenix and Eastern has a large force at work east of that place surveying the road which it was said would run from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific coast via Chihuahua through the Garcia timber lands in western Chihuahua, to Douglas thence to Benson and Phoenix.-Sil- yer Belt.
