CARE OF THE TREES.
John Wood Suggests Simple Remedy
for Insects.


Ed. Appeal: II the many wears Of
iny residence in this city, and the ac-
tive interest I have taken in the pre-
motion OF the growth OF trees and
shrubs here, must state 70 the public
that at the present time he City Ct
Carson presents a beautiful panorama
to any one who takes the trouble to
look at the place from one OF the hills
above it. IN this city Thousands Of
trees adorn the streets and without
them Carson would indeed be a sorry
spectacle. Many OF the trees were in
troduced by myself and naturally !
take a lively interest in their well
being. This is the reason that | address
a letter to the public through your
columns.
In a number of places in this city
| see evidence of destruction to the
trees by insects. Many look injured
and in some localities they are dead or
dying. This can be remidied, and in
a simple manner. The use of lime as
a white wash will destroy the insects
that are destroying the trees and
shrubs. This is applied in the form OF
a white wash. and the effect on the
insects is at once noticeable Fruit
trees treated with white wash, viii
bear better and cleaner fruit 1t is ca.
silly applied and effective.
Several instances Of the use Of
white wash can be cited. At Dr. Lee S
place some Of the handsomest trees in
the city can be found. They are clean
and free from insects. He had the trees
white washed several years ago and
the effect has been bette. than vas
expected.
At the Noodey place the same con
dition exists. Mr.. Mooaev has applied
lime to the trees for several years
past The result is that the fruit
trees are free from scale and insects,
while the shade trees are in the same
healthy condition.
Andrew Roberts has found the same
experience. His trees are in a healthy
condition and from the use Of Whit
wash. 1t is found that by using this
method that insects can neither pass
up or down the trees OF shrubs >,

there is no evidence of any attempr
to destroy the plants or growth. Il j:

SOMETHING WRONG.
The Electric Lights and Power Out
Of Commission.

Last evening the face of Luna was
the only beam of light that Illuminated
the city Of Carson. No power was
turned on, and inquiries at the sub sta
ton resulted in an answer that some
thing was wrong at the power plant at
Floreston. Just what is wrong the Off
GERS in charge fail to state. Some con-
tend that the plant has burned out its
machines, while the next man states
that the water wheel is broken, while
others believe that the lights have
gone out on general principles. At
any rate the people were hustling coal
oil and candles at a late hour last even
ing, and will have to do the same for
several days to come.
The Southern Pacific people have
overlooked several very good men that
are connected with the Light Com
pany An inquiry at the sub station
resulted in about as much information
as Phillips, of the Reno depot, used
to impart when asked question.
These men certainly deserve hea
vier salary.

hand when the thoughts of mankind
are turned towards overcoats the
question arises, Where can the best

this query the overcoat man at Will
sons has laid in the largest and most
complete stock of overcoats ever
brought to Kalispell. All the best
lines, including the fine Venetian, the
chinchilla the royal Irish frieze, fine
marten lined broadcloth the vicuna,
Melton English beaver are to be seen
there in any style from the covert to
the new fashionable automobile are
in stock as well as the double breast
ed storm coat. The materials used
are the best and the styles are of the
most up-to-date patterns sent out by
the eastern houses. Nothing shoddy.
The prices are as low as the quality
of the goods will allow. and every ar
ticle is a bargain in itself.
Anyone thinking of purchasing an
| overcOat for fall or winter wear
should make it a point to interview
| the Overcoat man at Wilson's and

at present in West Virginia. has been
notified to come to Kallspell at once
as everything will be in readiness
when the new machinery arrives.
When work does commence it is the
intention to sink the we'll to a depth
of at least two thousand feet if neces-

way or another.
The snow will not bother the work

are all inclosed, and at that point
Where the we'll is located the snow
does not drift or bank as in other
places. a night and day crew will
be employed and two experienced
drillers secured. In all there will be
six or eight men employed all winter.
The directors of the company are
considering the advisability of aban-
doning the old we'll which is down to
a depth of zoos feet and sinking a
new well close by. The castings have
been drawn from the old well and it
| would cost practically as much to
ppt if in shane again ac IL would tn
sink the new well. Then. the eXpe-
rience gained will be of value and the
driller knowing the formation Of the
ground as proved by the old hole can
adapt himself to the conditions
While it has not been definitely de-
cided upon it is probable that this
will be done and when work is again
resumed a new hole will be sunk.
