Employes Of Government Forest Re-
serve In Nebraska Have a System.
In the last few weeks since the
planting Of trees on the government
forest reserve In the Diamond River
Valley. in Nebraska, began 10000
trees have been planted. This number
covers an area of 800 acres The plant

adjoining the nursery grounds and ex-
tending one and half miles back from
the river
In preparing the ground for planting
burrows are plOwed eight feet apart in
the grass sod and the trees are planted
six feet apart in the furrow.
The operation of tree planting Is
simple, but there are certain steps that
must be carefully observed. When dig
ging the trees from the seed beds Il
Is necessary to handle them with great
care, to prevent injuring the roots
more than Is necessary. The roots
must never be allowed to dry AS soon
as dry the trees are set in bucket
Of water and later wrapped in wet
sacks in bundles Of 100. The bundles
are then packed twenty in box con
tanning sufficient wet moss to keep the
roots in good condition several days IL
necessary. The boxes Of trees are car
red to the place of planting on a pack
horse.
In the field the men work in squads
OF three. One man carries the trees in
a bucket in which Is enough water to
keep the roots wet. He also hands
trees to the planters as they are need
ed. The two other men use spades and
plant the trees In the burrows The
planting la quickly and easily done.
The spade is thrust into the sand and
full length Of the blade, a sidewise mo
tons opens the hole sufficiently to ad-
nit the roots Of the tree. After setting
the tree in place the spade Is again
thrust into the sand an inch or two
from the original opening and the sand
is pressed firmly against the roots. One
or two strokes with the heel firms the
sand more securely. and the tree Ia
planted. Working in this manner.
squad OF three men plant from 1000
to $500 trees in day.
The trees are one year old Western

Apropos Of the cabmen's strike III
London the question is being discussed
whether or not the cheap cab or the
worlds metropolis ia not doomed.
America ms abroad have always won

eral use of cabs. but IT now seems mat
this very cheapness may be the cab
by's undoing. Taking the subject up
editorially. one Of the London news
papers handled it in this wise:
What is it makes London cabmcn
dissa tistied? That. you say. is easily
answered. The difficulty they have in
making living at the price they nave
to pay at present for cabs. But why
do they have difficulty in making liv-
ing?
"Are people using cabs less just now
because times are bad? Or are they
gradually taking to other forms or
conveyance? The Tube must have hit
cabmen very hard indeed. If you want
to 60 from the city to the Marble Arch
YOU can do 1t quicker by taking the
central London than by taking CAP.
And this is only the first or series
Of tubes which are to ntersect London
in all directions
"In New York the cab is the lux
ury of the rich or the very inexperi-
enced. You cannot go any distance un-
der four shllngs. AS soon. there
fore. as you have got into the ways
OF the place you content yourself with

luggage these serve you quite as well.
for your bags are delivered by an ex-
press carrier, and give you no trouble
at all.

London. May 11.-Thus far no con-
firmation has reached London of the
reported battle near Liao-Yang. One
of the explanations of the restoration
Of the Port Arthur railway suggested
here is that the landing of the Japan
ese at Pitsewo was interrupted by a
gale and compelled their temporary re-
tirement to the coast, or that the Jap
anese are allowing the line to remain
open for the removal of non-combat-
ants from Port Arthur prior to
bombardment.
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
at Shan-Hai-Kwan under date Of May
10 says that the Japanese second army.
marching in three divisions in order to
cooperate with General Kuroki, has
defeated the Russians near Wafung-
Tien with great loss, The Daily Chron-
icle's Toxic correspondent declares
that Port Arthur will be bombarded
with heavy guns, and that concen-
trated assault will be made on a well
known vulnerable point in the de-
fences.
Anotherexplanation of the opening Of
the Port Arthur railway comes from
st. Petersburg via Paris: 1T is now
certain that the japanese have not
landed more than 5000 men at Pitse-
wo. Only few detachments Of the
advance guard reached the railway,
which they cut in several places. They
then received orders to fall back and
join the main force, leaving the line

st. Petersburg, May II, 3O5 a. m.-
The most important official news from
the front up to this hour is that tell
ing of the complete re-esta blishment
of railroad and telegraphic communica-
ton with Port Arthur. though how it
was brought about, and whether bat
tie was necessary to accomplish it,
are mysteries which Viceroy Alexieff
failed to clear up. The elati0n of the
authorities, a natural consequence of
this achievement, is sobered by OFF,
cial dispatches showing the activity

Kuang- -Gen-Sian [Huang- Tang -Sai?l,

This enables an advance along the

Cheng and the River Tavang has been
penetrated by such strong force of
Japanese as to lead to the suggestion
that another army has landed al

has not before heard The activity Of
the Japanese, however, has been ex-

which are not officially confirmed, prob
