which the majority originally pre-
sented.
Their proposition is that the omni-
bus bill is defeated, and that Senator
Quay, who has been so persistently
pressing it, has lost strength by his
course in supporting Senator Morgan
during the latter's fight against the
canal treaty.
Senator Spooner reported to his COL
leagues that there was no legal diff
Guilty in the way of admitting Okla
homa and afterward attaching the In
dian Territory to the state. In this
same connection there is proposition
to have included in the legislation a
provision for trust school fund for
Indian Territory, to he provided by
the government. This is to meet the
objection raised against Indian Terri
tory that it has no school lands and
no grants to be made for public
schools. The division of New Mexico
and Arizona is to be made upon proc
lamation by the president when there
is population of 900 in Arizona,
but objection has been raised by the
Democrats to this suggestion as it now
stands, because no provision is made
1or a census, and it would be at least
1910 before any test could be made.
during the day efforts were made to
ma Delegate Smith of Arizona to as
certain what his views would be as to
the proposed compromise, but he was
not at the capitol. He has been decid-
edly opposed TO any such move all
along, and to-day Senator Blackburn
told some of his colleagues that the
joining of the two territories would
not be acceptable, and said it would
cause strong opposition.

Value of the CataToa Tree.


John p. Brown, secretary-treasurer
of the International Society of Arbor
iculture, has been in Denver during
the last few days in the interests Of
the magazine which is published BY
that organization. The February nun
Der of the Aboriculture has just been
published. 1t is devoted to the consid-
GRAFTON of the catalpa tree. Mr..
Brown, who is also the editor of the
magazine, has travelled over the entire
country gathering information and
making experiments in the growth of
this tree. In 1898 a booklet was pub
lished upon this tree by the society
Since that time much interest has
been aroused all over the country in
the possibilities of the catalpa. This
interest is the cause of the publica-
tion OF an entire number of the Abort
culture devoted to the catalpa.
The Investigations and experiments
of many of the experts upon the ques-
tion of wood and timber have been
gathered for publication in the volume.
Mr.. Brown himself has travelled thou
sands of miles collecting information
concerning the catalpa tree. Railroads
and telegraph companies will soon be-
come dependent almost entirely upon
the catalpa species for their supply of
telegraph poles and railroad ties.
A peculiarity of the catalpa tree is
the fact that it grows tail and even.
The trunk of Me tree continues al
most to the very highest branches and
maintains nearly the same diameter
throughout.
The trees are being planted in nur-
series by the railroad companies all
over the country. The Rio Grande
Western Company has large grove
of nearly 100000 trees at Provo. Utah.
These trees are two years old and
have reached a height of sixteen to
eighteen feet.
The wood is said to answer the Dur.
pose as well as other wood used and
its cost is much less. The magazine
gives a number of illustrations com
pairing the catalpa and its growth with
that of other trees. The cost, care
and advantage of growing cataIpa
trees for various uses are also ser
forth. Mr.. Brown has so prepared his
subject that much useful KNOWLEDGE
can be obtained by those who are in.

Mr.. Adricn Travers now has charge

Make arrangements to plant more
trees this spring than ever. Fruit trees
will always pay for themselves in this
treeless country if they are the right
sort and are taken care of as thew
should be. No one will miss the amount
paid for a half dozen cherry or plum
trees and in a very short time the
place will have plenty of fruit-Ficld

CURES CaTARRH.
"HyOmei the Most Wonderful Cure for

Hyomei is the only known method
OF treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh

Thousandsof unsolicited testimo-

most prominent men and women in
the country who have been cured by
this remarkable remedy. Ministers,
BANKERS, Law yers, even eminent physi-
clans have sent strong testimonials
as to the remarkable powers of Hyo-

Former Mayor Emory M. Yard,

The complete Hyomei outfit costs

dropper and sufficient Hoymei to last
some weeks. This will effect cure

deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer
