THE FLORlCULTURIST.
Success With Flowers and Landscape
Effects Won for ]. H. Hadkinson,

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 23.--In ap-
pointing Joseph H. Hadkinson superin-
tendent of Horticulture at the Worlds
Fair, the management showed it's ap-
probation Of the splendid work accom-
plished by Mr.. Hadkinson on the 70
acres Of land surrounding the palaces
of agriculture and horticulture.
When Ar. Hadkinson Joined the
Worlds Fair force of workers he was
made the head gardener on the rec
ommendation of Frederic w. Taylor,
chief of the departments of agricul-
ture and horticulture. Most of his do
main was a field of barren yellow clay.
In less than a ear he has converted
this into wonderfully beautiful and i'm
as smooth as a carpet, and with a turf
as thick as though they had been grow
ing for years. There is the six-acre
rose garden that even last summer
yielded a myriad of blossoms, and gave
but an earnest of the beauty 1t will
present when the great fair opens.
Hadkinson has prospercd and every
flower bed hes received bis personal
attention and proited by his practical
knowledge. AS superintendent of Flo
riculture Mr.. H%adkinson will be in
charge of all the gardens and also the
flowers displayed in the magnificent
the Palace of Horticulture.
Mr.. Hadkinson was born in Man
chester, England. When a youth his
parents emigrated to America and
settled in Nebraska. He had studied in
the famous botanical gardens in Lon
don, and in his new home he embark
ed in the nursery business.
He gave tina. up to accept a position
as instructor in horticulture in the
University Of Nebraska under Chief
Taylor, who was then professor Of ag-
riculture al that institution. Mr.. Had
kinson did the gardening ct the Oma-
ha exposition and had charge Of Ne
braska's horticulture exhibit at the
Pan-American exposition 2 Buffalo.
At the Worlds Fair he has accom-
plished his greatest work. and has
created many beautiful spots that will
receive universal admiration during
the coming exposition.

Indian wife of Charles Provo, the half
breed o of the late John Provost,
pioneer, hunter and trapper of Larimer
county, after w years life in Fort
Collins among the whites, has tired of
civilization and will soon return to her
people in the Bad Lands of Dakota.
The Indian blood of the husband Is al

CURRENT EVENTS.
Irrigation Work in Wyoming.

Among other announcements in rela-
ton to the reclamation service, Chief
Engineer F.. H. Newell has this to say
OF Wyoming:
In Wyoming the Sweetwater pro-
ject has been found to be impractic-
able, but the Shoshone project. involv-
ing an expenditure of $2.225 900, has
been selected and will be carried for
ward without delay, providing salts
factory arrangements can be made
with the Wyoming state authorities"
As Register lyman of the state land
board is in Washington consulting with
the heads of departments in relation to
the matter, in all human probability
the satisfactory arrangements will be
made.

A BOUNTY

A dispatch from Meeteetse. WyU,
says George Merrill of Big Horn coun-
ty has presented a plan for the exter-
mination of wolves INT coyotes that is
meeting w.,h approval. He proposes
that the legislature enact a law that
all stock owners shall pay for all pred
atory wild animals killed in their sec
ton in proportion to the amount of
stock assessed. This would throw the
burden of the expense upon those who
receive the benefits of the bounty law
Three years ago a bill along the ines
suggested by Mr.. Merrill vas introduce
ed in the legislature, but met with
strenuous opposition and defeat at the
hands of the stockmen. They alleged
that such a law would be unconstitu-
tional. The friends Of the bill stoutly
maintained that the real objection was
financial, that The stockmen desired
the burden should be borne by all
classes of property.
One thing has been proved during
the past year and that is that 100000
is inadequate to pay bounties in this
state. That sum, appropriated by the
last legislature, is already exhausted
and a years time i. to run.
The Republican believes some such
equitable law as that suggested by Mr..
Merrill should be passed. 1t would also
be wise, if practicable, to have a con
v%ention of representatives OF the great
cattle states for the purpose of arriv-
ing at some uniformity in legislation.
1t is a vital question and must be
met by the best intelligence OF our
people. 1t is one in which all the peo-
pie should be treated with more fair
ness than in the past.
