Here in the South we must consider
the soils as well as the latitude.
From my observations of nineteen
years residence 1 am fully convinced
that the best of commercial varieties
of forest trees can be grown SUE
cessively at low cost, and in a few
years, l have two Catalpa Speciosa
trees growing that are Is inches in
diameter Is inches above the ground,
the seed was planted II years ago.
These trees are grown in Orange
county. Catalpa Speciosa, can be
grown on fatwoods land by simply
backfurrowing the land so as to run
off the surface water This is the
only variety of Catalpa of any COM
close or dense rows. My experience
is 4 by feet, or 27OO trees to the
acre, but if the ground is in good culti-
vatiOn when the trees are planted,
and the plantation is we'll cultivated
for two years, there is no reason why
there should not be 1000 trees to the
acre that will make railroad ties, not
all to be cut at the same time, but
within a few years of each other, and
if cut ip winter while the tree is
dormant they will reproduce them
selves from sprouts and in much less
time than the original plantation.
For the north half of Florida, the
Black walnut is perfectly at home,
will make valuable commercial trees
in one decade, or ten years, and in
another ten years will make good saw
ing logs. I have picked walnuts of
trees that planted the nuts but three
years before, this was on good, rich
soil, but not a rare instance. Our
common wild cherry is one of the
trees that is valuable in any of our
Southern states, rapid grower, growth
'strait and tall.
The White and Green Ash are valu-
able trees, grow rapidly and make a
;lumber that is rapidly disappearing.
Tt will surprise many to know that
our Water Oak is a very rapid grow
ing tree, and valuable tree for COM
mercial lumber. There, are trees
growing in sight of where i am writ
ing this, that are street trees that are
from 20 to % inches in diameter, 20
inches above ground, that were plant
ed from 20 to "a years ago, not only
one. but more than a hundred such
trees. Our second growth pine, if
protected from fire would in a very
few years, make good timber, the
great trouble is our laws allow the
woods to be burned over each year
this is a very great mistake, and the
law should be repealed, and our young
trees protected. / only mention a few

The Growing Southwest.

The Southwest has strong lead
over other parts of the United
States in present progress. For
five years, Texas and Oklahoma
have surpassed ali the states in
railroad building, new banks, new
schools and increase of farming
population. These are the factors
that make rich commemorative.
The new oil and gas belt, the
greatest on the continent, reaching
from Kansas through Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma into Texas
has brought the manufacturing
era. This, with great stores of
raw material of the Southwest.
lead, zinc, iron, coal, clay, cement
stone and timber, will produce a
development exceeding anything
heretofore known in manufactur.
ing in the West.
Southern latitude and western
altitude combine to produce in the
southwest, climate which offers
great inducements to the home
seekers. 1t is healthful to man
and beast. Farm work and build
ing can be carried on throughout
the entire year. Fruits flourish
and truck gardening goes on in
season and out of season. Cotton.
one of the worlds great staples, is
added to the farming resources.
Lands, although advancing rapid
ly, are still much cheaper here
than in the older states. The great
cattle ranges are being cut into
farms and feed lots.
The semi-arid regions of the eX,
IRENE western portion are being
brought under irrigation, with and
without government aid. These
lands are thus made productive
and valuable.

A Terrible Accident.

A telephone message was received
here in Extra last Friday saying that
S. HI. White, who had conducted q
portable saw mill in the timber of
Uncle 1. P. Hallock, at Oakfield, for q
number of months past, had fallen
through bridge with his traction
engine, near the John Greenlee home
ABOUT five and half miles northeast
of Audubon, in Viola township, the
day before, and had died that day of
injuries sustained. AS near af we are
able to learn the particulars they are
as follows: Mr.. White was on the
way 10 the west fork of the Coon river
near Coon Rapids, and had got as far
as the bridge where he was 30 terribly
injured, which is not far from Luc-
cocks Grove, where DIR. III. w .Stearns
resides; had laid planks for the wheels
OF his engine to run on and then
started across. He had reached the
middle span of the bridge which is
over high gulley, it being from fif-
teen to eighteen feet down to the little
creek below, when the timbers gave
way precipitating Mr.. White, his en-
CINE and all into the stream below.
The head end of the engine was reared
up to nearly perpendicular position.
Mr.. White was pinioned between the
engine and the planks and timbe of
the bridge. His skull was fractured
and the steam escaping scalding his
flesh in a terrible manner; in which
position he was forced to lie for the
space of one hour, although Messrs.
Crane, of Cass county, and Fowler, OF
Cameron township, who were work
ing for Mr.. White; Mr.. Greenlee and
others worked heroically to release
the suffering man, and finally the gov
ernor had to be broken off before he
could be released. When he was fin
ally released they took him to Mr..
Greenlee's where he suffered every
thing until some time in the forenoon
of Friday when death came to his re-
lief. His wife, who was at Dedbam,
was telephoned for and reached the
bedside Of her husband before he pass.
ed away; his father, Mr.. M. M. White
of sos Pine street, Atlantic, was also
telepboned for, but did not reach the
bedside of his son in time to see him
alive. Undertaken George Hoover, of
Audubon, was notified, who prepared
the body for the tomb; took it to Au-
dubon, where it lay in state in Mr..
Hoover's undertaking rooms until
Sunday forenoon when the the body
was placed in the funeral car, taken to
the Oakffeld cemetery where inter-
ment took place. Mr.. White was a
member of the Brayton Odd Fellow
Lodge and as soon as the Noble Grand
Mr.. John Lorah, heard of the disaster
he at once went to Audubon, and ten
Derby cared for the remains: ordered
that the members of his lodge assem-
BILE to assist in giving their departed
brother burial according to the rites of
the Odd Fellow Lodge. The entire
community was terribly shocked by
Mr.. Whites untimely death. His
wife was Miss Newton, and a rela-
tive of Frank Lambert, who resides
south of Oakfield. Mr.. White was
forty-three years old and leaves a wife
and one child.
