more trees, and the commission is ar
ranging to plant $4,000 tulip poplar trees

Caledonia and Mont Alto. The commits
sion has bought $4,000 acres of forest
land of which $500 are in Huntingdon
county, $4,000 acres are in Union, Center
and Miffiin counties and 500 acres are in
Pike county. The prices paid for this
land are not given, and it is the rule OF
