plant Trees For Ties.

j. D. Besler, of Chicago, formerly gen.
eral superintendent of the Burlington
road, was in Pacific Junction Monday
making arrangements to plant a large
quantity of catalpa trees on the Mis-
souri, bottom next spring. Some 125
acres of the railroad farm" lying just
south of the junction yards will be
made use of for this purpose. The
ancient townsite of Bethlehem or East
Plattsmouth, now the property of the
Burlington and consisting of 100 acres,
will be converted into a catalpa grove.
The catalpa trees will be set out seven
feet apart each way and the company
plans to make use of them for ties in
the years to come. This will mean
about 100000 trees on the 225 acres.
The catalpa wood is said to make the
very best of ties, is quick growing and
straight grained. The Illinois Central
road has been experimenting for some
years along this line and it is said that
catalpa trees planted by that company
thirteen years ago are now of sufficient
size from which to make ties. The en-
ormous use of railroad ties in the United
States makes the question of their pro-
duction or supply an important one,
and it is said that the companies are
solving it in this manner. H. Fl. Nc
Cartney, the veteran agent at Pacific
Junction, suggested to the officials a
dozen years ago that they make use OF
the railroad lands in that locality in the
growing of these trees. They are now
tardily following his advice. Mr.. Nc.
Cartney tells us that the catalpa is a
native of the Wabash valley in Indiana
and that it's present wide use is due
largely to the efforts of the late j. Ster.
ling Morton, the originator of Arbol
Day.-Glenwood Tribune.

December Weather.

Irl r. Hicks, the st. Louis weather
prophet makes the following predictions
of the weather for the balance of De-
cember:
By about Saturday, the 9th, a decided
change to warmer, with rapidly falling
barometer, will be noted in western ex-
tremes. These conditions will bring on
increasing cloudiness moving eastward
and from about the 10th to the 18th in
elusive severe and general winter
storms will make their transit over the
country. These storms will reach their
eliminating crisis within forty-eight
hours OF sunset on the 18th. Look for
rains at the oncoming of these storms
especially to the southwark, but be
prepared for a change to northwesterly
billiards. as the storms move eastward
and for a genuine December cold wave,
to follow with the rising barometer be-
hind the storms.
Decided storm conditions with gener-
al rain and snow will be the most natur-
al on and touching Saturday and Sun
day, the 10th and 10Th. Correct Stats
tics will show that one of the stormiest
periods on the Atlantic ocean along the
line of travel and traffic from the United
States to Europe lies from the 5th to the
18th of December.
From about the 10Th to the Goth will
bring a period of prolonged winter
storD The crisis of this period may
be looked for on and touching Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, the 23rd, 9th and
25th. During the same days violent
winter storms and billiards.. will be
brewing and advancing down from tie
