about the work in the right way. Large
areas of rough land, suitable for the
purposes of a forest, can be obtained at
a slight cost and forest grown will
continue, under proper management to
yield ties and perpetuate itself indie
fnitelY. Careful trimming from the
time the young trees begin to grow will
train them into the proper shape, and
thus single tree will yield more ties
than those which have no pruning.
The Pennsylvania company has also
selected the very best tree for the pur-
pose. The locust is one of the most
rapid growing hardwood trees, and one
locust tie will probably outlive half a
dozen oak or chestnut. In fact, the
locust is regarded as the most durable
of all our native woods and a railroad
track laid on locust ties would be al
! most as permanent as it the ties were
of iron.
BY planting trees and numerous for
! ests the railroad companies would not
only be providing for their own future,
but would be conferring lasting bene-
fit upon the country. These forests
would utilize a great deal of waste
lands; they would furnish vast
amount of fuel for the people within
reach of them; they might have GOOD
effect on the climate, and besides
might he utilized as places of refuge
where our birds and wild animals coulc
be saved from extinction .-Baltimor

Culture of Forests.

Y The Pennsylvania railroad is engaged
in planting locust trees with view of
supplying cross ties in the future. Last
fall $1,000 trees were planted at Cone
WACO, Pa, and now as many more have
been planted. Next fall, it is said, the
company will plant 100000, and in the
following spring 65O,OO0 The forest
will cover three square miles, and it is
estimated, will furnish 100000 ties
within twenty-five years. This is an
excellent work and is evidence of a
wise and farsighted policy. Tree plant
ing is neglected by individuals because
forests are slow of growth, and the
benefit or profit is too remote to tempt
one to set out forests. But in the case
Of such a corporatio mas the Penn
sylvania Railroad company the case
is different. Such a corporation is sup
posed to be immortal, and the manage
ment, if it is prudent, is always look
ing to the future. Iron and steel have
been tested as substitutes for cIOssties,
but without success Wood is mani
festly the best material for this use,
and there is scarcely any use which has
caused more general and deplorable
devastation Of the forests of the United
States than the demands of the rail-
roads. The time is rapidly approach
ing when the natural supply must fail
or become too expensive. Some of the
western railroad companies have for
some years back been planting trees
along their right of way. On fertile
lands of the prairies, trees make rapid
growth and while a sufficient supply
cannot be produced in this way, enough
can be grown to make it worth while.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention oi
articles Of minor Importance. Many oi
the most popular devices are those de.
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and one OF the most
interesting OF these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l, 90. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec-
tric Hair Brush are positively guaran-
toed to make straiRht hair curly in %
days time. Thousands OF these electric
combs have been sold in various cities Of
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap.
idly becoming rich selling these combs.

Now is the time for merchants
to commence to advertise their
holiday goods. Christmas is only
month away and people are be-
ginning to make their purchases.
Every year about this time there
is tremendous amount OF money
goes to Denver for presents and
the like which could just as we'll
be kept in Central City. 1t is a
regrettable fact that such a Gus
tom exists as this town needs all
the money that can possibly be
placed in circulation, and residents
who patronize the Denver stores
suffer more indirectly by SO doing
than they profit directly by any
little gain through the slight re-
duction they think they receive on
some articles. The home mer-
chants can sell goods just as cheap
as the Denver stores and as gen.
eral rule do. Occasionally Dem
YER establishment reduces the
price on few commodities when
a sale is on, but when one consid-
ers the trouble and inconvenience
they are put to in going to Den
yer, their fare, etc., it can easily
be seen that they save very little
by the trip.
When the matter is looked at in
q different light it is not altogether
the fault of the residents, but the
business men to an extent are
largely to blame. When a mer-
chant attempts to conduct his es-
tablishment year in and year out
without the use of advertising, re-
gardless of the holidays or any
other season when business is ex-
pected TO take a change for the
better and he in consequence

corral his share, it must certainly
be expected that places showing
the proper activity will get the
patronage. AS stated above peo-
pie go to Denver to take advan-
tage of the seeming bargains they
see advertised in the Denver pap
ers. They would be given the
same bargains at home according
to our merchants, and granting
they would, but they never know
about it. Once in a while you
will see hand bills thrown around
advertising some sale. That form
of advertising is all right-as far
as it goes and it doesn't go very
far only when some careless boy
happens to throw the sheet where
the wind will strike it and then
in all truthfulness it goes a very
long distance. An ad in one Of

Creator for the many blessings
He has bestowed upon us the past
year. The people of Gilpin coun-

Possibly not individually but col
lectively. The year just about to
close has not been as prosperous,
perhaps, as those preceding, but
the promising outlook for the
camp the next year or more will
tend to make us forget that which
has passed. All around us new
property is being opened. Capt.

vested in this section. More men
are regularly being put to work.
And other encouraging prospects
are beginning to dawn which are
too numerous to mention. The

general thanksgiving.

and widely used Della Robbia.
This type is favorite in all the
large printing concerns of the
country and is one of the neatest

the typographical art. The bord-
