URGE A FOREST RESERVE.

The Nebraska delegation in con-
gress, after thorough canvass of the
situation, has prepared a letter to be
presented to the president, urging up
on him the Importance of setting
aside large number of acres in the
sandhill regions Of Nebraska for forest
reserve purposes They believe that
the sandhills will grow timber and
they are especially anxious to have the
experiment tried. The letter to be
submitted is exhaustive in character
and will, it is expected, be signed by
the entire delegation. The letter
reads:

scrub oak-Quercus Umbelatte and
Gambelii-which grow only 6 to 20
feet in height and are very thick on
the ground. The acorn, being grown
into a strong shrub, sends it's roots
laterally, and from these spring up
numerous shoots which form dense
thicket, browsed by the cattle in
winter and by goats and sheep at all
seasons.
"The roots often become six inches
in diameter, while the stems are only
an inch or two in thickness, so, as a
commercial timber it has no value,
yet upon this insignificant scrub
growth must we depend for aid in re-
afforestation, as it is splendid nurse,
the seeds of coniferous trees-where
there are any large trees to supply
them-lodge beneath these lowly oaks,
are covered by and find soil in these
decayed leaves. Animals browsing
around this nursery are to certain
extent kept away from the little pine
and spruce, while the slight shade of
the nurse protects them from the rays
of the sun.
"Sowing seeds of conifers among
these oaks-providing stock is kept
away-will in a moderate season re-
produce the Rocky Mountain forests.
The aspen is also grand nurse, but
is murderer in case of fire.
Growing on more elevated mountains,
spruce and nighttime trees are found,
as the pine and cedar grow among the
oaks.
Spoliation and Irrigation.
"The people of the arid portion of
the land ceaselessly balk irrigation.
Nothing has so great value in the
minds of all the west, yet continue to
burn off all the trees, spoliate the
lands, make mine timbers of baby
spruce and pines, and all the wealth
of this great government cannot cause
rain and snow to fall and be protect
ed from rapid melting and waste.
Irrigation will be an automatic
matter, if the dwellers of
these mountains will let the forests
alone, keep the stock within bounds
and help nature plant and rear
other trees to replace those destroyed.

SOME MOUNTAIN TREES.

The Conservative acknowledges the
receipt Of an interesting letter from
that staunch friend of forestry, John
P. Brown, who, when travelling, ig-
nores none of the feasts which nature
furnishes for the appreciative eye.
Here are few of his Rocky Mountain
notes:
"There are some excellent bodies
of Ponderosa Pine on the eastern lower
slope of the Sangro De Christie range,
and, on the higher mou ntains, consider
able Red, White, Douglas and Silver
Spruce, and Concolor, that beautiful
Silver Fir, in moderate quantities,
varying in shade from deep green to
silver tip.
"The Foxtail Pine-Aristarta-|
which had taken for spruce-is
on the highest line of timber, and is
most beautiful tree, which in 1866,
saw first in Nevada.
White Pine and Aspen.
"The White Pine Of the Rockies

mountains, and immense tracts of
Aspen-P. Tremaloides-cover as
they do entire mountain tops and ex.
tending we'll down into the cafIons,
seem to me to be totally unappreci-
ated. This tree grows in thickets,
I estimated 1000 to the acre,
for square mile in extent. Some are
very large, being 16 to 18 inches in
diameter, and measured one 80 inches
in girth and sixty feet high, but
usually the trees in thickets are to
8 inches in diameter-a clear illustra.
tion of the folly of over-crowding, for
where there was sufficient room the
trees were large and sturdy. The |
aspen makes excellent lumber, does
not change, weather, check nor warp
and is equal in every respect to yellow
poplar for furniture purposes. It is
white in color, easily worked, and
when dry, durable. No other decid-
uous tree grows at the altitude of |
aspen. Lower down the valleys it |
meets the narrow-leaved cottonwood,
both growing together. both disap-
pearing in the still lower valleys
where the broad-leaf cottonwood,
Monififera, occupies the moist lands.
Low growing birch and several will
lows are also found along the valleys,
and pinon and cedar here and there
not nearly so thickly as would be de.
sired.

Most of the lands, available for
numbering, have been cleared of every
tree.

among those familiar with western
| conditions that the region known as
the sandhill district of western central
Nebraska can be economically
forested and that it will produce tim
Der of commercial value to Nebraska
and adjoining states. The opinions Of
persons of long practical experience in
that region coincide so unanimously
with the opinions of experts who
studied the conditions from scien-
tific standpoint, that in 1894 the re-
commendation was made in a paper
read by Prof Charles E. Bessey before
the state board of agriculture, that
the national government reserve ex-
tensive areas in the sandhills for
forest planting.
The recommendation became sub
ject Of discussion, especially among
the friends of forestry, and gradually
grew in favor. During the last year
the matter has received much con-
sideration and has been generally ap-
proved by the people, the press, and
the officials of the state. It was fully
discussed and heartily endorsed by
the state horticultural society, both
at it's summer and winter meetings.
Investigation Supports Theory.
A year ago the recommendation for
such forest reserves was brought
prominently to the attention of the
bureau of forestry of the department of
agriculture by letters from a number
Of leading men in the state. The
matter was at once taken up by the
forester and thorough investigation
was made in the summer of 1901, to
ascertain the adaptability Of the sand
hills to timber and to determine the
advisability of establishing reserves
for forestation in the region in ques-
tion.
The conclusions of the bureau of
forestry, as expressed in the accomp-
anying manuscript on Proposed
Forest Reserves in the Sandhills of
Nebraska" are in full accord with
public opinion: First, that the sand
hills can be economically forested
second, that they would be more valu-
able for forest than for any other pur-
pose; third, that suitable reserves
should be set aside by the government
for systematic and orderly attempt
at forestation in that region.
Maps have been prepared in the
bureau of forestry which show the. To-
cation and area of government land in
the sandhills, and thus disclose the fact
that large tracts practically free from
private claims are available for such
reserves. In addition, the forester, at
our suggestion, has proposed and sub
mitted boundaries for three forest re-

pared the rope. Another speciality is in
tying the knot; and 1t is a curious fact
that many hangmen have followed the trade
of shoemaking and sold shoe laces, which,
presumably, were warranted to tie very
tight
The sensation of being fitted with the
rope is not an agreeable one. On one occa-
sion Marwood was summoned to the home
office to show how he worked, and it fell to
my lot to be pinioned and tied up. The
worst part OF this performance was the feel
of his knuckles around my throat. Mar
wood was gifted with very muscular and
bony hands-no doubt a valuable Qualifica-
tion for his post. The home Office does not
actively interfere as 20 the selection of the

ways the case. But 1t closely supervises
the machinery Of execution, so to speak,
since the miserable failure at Exeter a few
years back, when the rope broke more
than once, and the convict In consequence
escaped with his life.
The hangman arrives at the Jail on the
evening preceding the execution, and Is
lodged within the walls. where he is hos
pitably received. In old days It was GUS
tomary to give him what he called for in
the nature of good cheer. but limits have
been properly imposed on the supply Of
food and drink. Oysters and champagne
were not refused at one time, but now a
plain supper and breakfast before the GER

must be sober and correct. His fee, which
