Work a Watch Does.

Everybody carries watch nowadays
men, women, girls and boys. Prices
range from 81 to as many thousands as
one cares to expend in jeweled settings.
The 81 watch often keeps just as good
time as the $4,000 one. Did you ever con-
slider the amount of labor performed by a
good watch in its lifetime of fifty years j?
The balance vibrates $4,000 times an hour,
$4,000 times day, or 1850, 900 times a
year. The hairspring makes an equal
number of vibrations, and. there Is the

Untold Benefits.
But the department of agriculture ex-
poets to change this into a heavily wooded
country, which, enriched by the falling
pine needles, will support grass and other
vegetation, while the roots of the trees
are expected to help retain the moisture
which falls. and while preventing floods
in eastern Nebraska, to furnish enough
water to maintain streams and rivers at
| a more even stage and in this manner in
crease the crops of the state.
The work Of transforming the sand hills
into forests is one of the greatest tasks
ever undertaken by the department OF
agriculture, but when completed the bene-
! fits secured to the state will be practically
untold. Forestry experts everywhere are
deeply interested in the work, and every
move of those in charge is closely fol
| lowed and commented upon.

cut and Rhode Island combined, and con-
tains more than 100000 acres of public
lands subject to entry under the home

1000, 900 bull pine trees will be planted
by the time snow falls. Next years will
see the work pushed with an increased

will be planted in the sand hills. In ten

Well Considered Plans.
This great and expensive work on the
part of the government has not been un-
dertaken thoughtlessly, but for ten years
preparations have been under way and
prominent scientists have been examining
into the proposition.
The idea was first brought forward
when clamor about the destruction Of
Americas great forests was started. AS
the agitation increased, the government
experts evolved the idea of planting i'm
mense bodies of trees in waste places
thruout the west, as well as in the cut

This whole tract, comprising-with the

by the park board at an expense Of $780,

park, where now there is little but ram
shackle structures, is at once manifest
from the sketches printed above-one
showing birdseye view of the land as 1t
now appears, and the other showing the
blocks parked. Every building on the
blocks, as well as those adjacent, is shown
on the sketch, which was carefully COM

the park fund. Finally, it is understood
that If for any reason the park project
should have to be abandoned, the money
raised will go to the treasury Of the East
Side Improvement association to be used
for the Improvement of the district in
question.
The above statement is authorized by
the associations officers and is indorsed
by the Retail Merchants association,
which has given it's hearty support to the
project.
In this connection M W. Savage, to
whose original offer the project owes it's
origin, has generously shown his appro-
val and support by notifying the commit
tee that he will give his check for $500 to
the park fund, this being the amount that
will be paid to him for the rental Of the
building.

different from anything in the present
system The supporters of the project
point out that under an act passed at the
last session of the legislature primarily
for the benefit of st. Paul, but equally APP
plicable to Minneapolis, the park board
may with the consent of the council,
registered by a two thirds vote, sell $780,

is calculated that the remainder Of the
money necessary to carry the project thru
can be raised by public and private sub
scription without difficulty. -

and parking of other adjacent blocks The
first plan suggested was to buy for park
purposes two blocks in addition to that
to be given by Mr.. Savage. One Of these,
bounded by Central avenue, Ortman, Bank
and Second streets, would afford a view
Of the building and park from Cen
trail avenue, and could be acquired
at reasonable figure. The other
block is that bounded by University av-
enue, Second avenue, Bank and Ortman
streets and thus lies between the EXPOSE
ton building, the East Side High school
and the Pillsbury library. Neither block
has many buildings on it and none of
these Is of any great value. The Central
avenue buildings are mere shacks and
thus there are few obstacle in the way
OF acquiring the property. ~
