pleasure trip and is for the round trip.
The rate for the latter will be about
the same as that made last year and
is known as the tourist excursion"
rate. The other is designated as the
"homeseekers'' rate and is in reality
nothing more than the usual second
class rate given to emigrants coming
west, with the exception that it is
made a little lower than heretofore.
= Tickets Of the tourist excursion"
class will be sold only on stated days,
while the "homeseekers'" tickets are

FOR B DAY.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Preparing Letter.

Although Arbor day will not be here
soon, the office Of state superintendent
of public instruction is already max
ing preparations for it. In compliance
with the custom and the statute which
gives the state superintendent author.
ity to prescribe exercises for the pub.
lie school on that day, Mr.. Welch will
this year issue a circular in which
various suggestions will be made.
An unusual feature of the forth
coming address to superintendent,
teachers and pupils will be the recon-
mendations Of the state superintend-
ent as to preservation Of trees.
Every year." said j. M. Lewis, as
sistant state superintendent of public
instruction, to the Herald, "the
schools of the state plant trees and in
other ways decorate their grounds,
but they seem to lose interest in the
work the moment the trees are set out
and dedicated. In most instances, or,
at least, in a great number of them,
these same trees are permitted to
die for lack of attention, and the real
object of Arbor day remains unac-
complished.
"RealiZing that the greater need is
for the preservation of the trees we
have rather than the planting of new
ones that will only be left to perish,
the state superintendent this year
means to embody in his address prac-
teal instructions as to tree culture,
We have written to the bureau of
forestry at Washington for instruc-
lions in this matter, and expect to be
able to give some practical informa-
ton as to the best methods for pre-
serving trees.
1T is by no means the intention of
the department to discourage tree
planting. On the contrary, the public
schools will be urged to observe Arbor
day as in the past by setting out many
trees. Emphasis, however, will be
put upon the necessity for caring for
the trees after they have been plant
ed"
Arbor day falls on the second Tues
day OF May. Before that time Gov
ernor Toole will issue a proclamation
calling attention to Arbor day and
urglng its observance in the schools
as a holiday. The state superintend-
n Will then issue an address which
Will have general circulation through
out the state.
