TREES IN A WIND,
Those For Ornament That Best Re-
.:st enc Elementa.

Those For Ornament That Best Re-
set h Elements.
The big wind that passed over st.
Paul recently taught much about what
trees to plant for permanent shade
and other effects. One might easily
have expected the softer varieties Of
wood to break first. but would hardly
be prepared to see the ease with
which box elders and soft naples are
uprooted. When it is let alone the
former likes to branch near the ground,
and it can be seen on the prairie more
like a gigantic bush than like Il tree.
This habit Of growth would not call
for any great spread Of roots except in
capturing nourishment, an operation
In which the tree is supposed to excel.
We have known a tree of the kind to
send its roots to almost any length in
the seams of u quarry, yet In we'll sod
ded and watered lawns 1t is the first
to give way ut the root. 1t should
be less missed than any other sort.
Among the indigenous trees the elms
hold an intermediate position, furnish
Ing not SO much more resistance to the
winds than the sort mentioned. This is
a pity. they being such universal fn-
vOrites for shade trees.
ConiferOus trees and the lnrches seem
to hold up we'll against winds. as do
the ashes and white walnuts, although
30 few Of the latter are used for shade
that one cannot speak with confidence
Of their performance. Coming to trees
Of slower growth and harder wood, the
hard naples in the track Of the storm
seemed to suffer much more thar their
numbers would warrant, but the ouks
preserved their reputation for sturdi-
ness, while the humble blackberry held
Its own as well as any.
By the way, oaks Of some varieties
are by no means so slow of growth as
Imagined by some people, nor are they
30 averse to the ways OF civilization US
has been taught.-Western Architect.

Population.

East st. Louis Plan to Increase Its
Population.
The residents Of East st. Louis, ILL.,,
have awakened to the fact that their
population can be increased and new
Industries secured If every citizen will
help in the work, and u zone Hundred
Thousand club" is being organized to
boom the town.
1t Is planned to so organize the One
Hundred Thousand club that every
member will be u booster" for East
St Louis and to arrange committees so
that in the event OF a committee nrriv-
Ing in town to look over a site for a
location for an industry the visitors
a be properly entertained. At pres
ent there is no organization which
could entertain visitors In East st.
Louis.
The club when 1t Is organized is in
tended to be absolutely nonpolltical
and is expected to take In representa-
tives Of every profession and business
In the city.
The close proximity Of East st. Louis
10 Tue coal uelOb OF ILLINOIS ana owen
fences Of the many railroad lines and
belt lines give to manufacturers advan.
tages which. 1t Is claimed by East st.
Louisans, are excelled only by Chicago.
These advantages Of East st. Louis,
1t Is thought. should get greater advcr-
tisement than they have yet got. and
1t Ia believed that many Industries
which at present know nothing Of the
advantages Of East st. Louis can be
induced to locate there.
Another feature OF the proposed or
ganization Is to start a crusade in favor
Of more extensive municipal improve
ments and the demolishing Of old shan
ties and their replacing with modern
and substantial structures.

RUSSIA MUST TAKE INITIATIVE
Jap Minister Says First Word for
Peace Must Come From Car.

Peace Must Come From Gar.
Washington, May 31.-"Until some
word Of peace m out of the Tsars-
koe Selo, Nippon has but to fight on"
This epigrammatic remark of Mr..
Takahira, the Japanese minister,
made with the details of the victory
of the Japanese fleet before him, &C.
c~urately sets forth not only his opin-
ion, but, it is believed, that of the
Washington and other neutral govern
ments represented here regarding the
effect of the battle on Russia's policy.
Whether Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, will be the bearer of that
fateful word when he sees the presi-
dent tomorrow remains to be seen,
but the ambassador, in a conversation
with a correspondent OF the Associat-
ed Press, was more emphatic than at
any time since the wal in the declara-
ton that the war would go on indef-
nitely.
1t is this apparent determination Of
Russia to continue in the face of dis
astrous defeats on land and sea which
discourages the Washington govern
ment at this time from taking any
positive steps toward offering assist
ance to the belligerents In coming to
an understanding.
