of becoming law and he thought the
issue would be in the campaign, after
all, during the summer. Senator Etirtl
who made an unsuccessful motion
shortly before to limit all speeches
during the remainder Of the session
to Is minutes. offered two minor
amendments to the Raysor-Mannlng
bill. These were adopted but amend
ments by Senator Raysor to eliminate
the board Of control from the bill
were rejected, The bill was then Civ
en- an aye and nay vote as follows:

The senate on Wednesday began
debate on the bucket shop bill but did
not finish. The jamestown exposition
was voted an appropriation of $4,000
and the general appropriation bill was
taken up. It is getting late now Ill
the session and there are only three
days to work in. Every senator wants
his pet bill made a special order.
The house on Wednesday killed the
possibility Of biennial sessions OF the
general assembly within the next two
or three years. The resolutions look
inc to a vote on the issue by the peo-
pie failed to secure the necessary two
third vote of all elected members.
The bill to convert the South Caro-
lima college into a university was
passed byan almost unanimous vote:
The salaries of all solicitors were
raised to $1,7O0, effective April lst OF
this year. The salaries are to be uni
form.
The bill to establish a hospital Tor
epileptics and inebriates was adopted.
The measure provides for an appro-
priation of $4,000. The house says
the institution must be located on the
property Of the hospital for the III
sane and under the control OF the
board of regents. The senate provld-
ed for a distinct commission but the
two houses will no doubt agree to have
the institution for inebrlates connect
ed with the hospital for the insane.
The house sent another bill over to
the senate on the dispensary situation.
This time it is the Rucker bill that the
senate will be asked to consider. The
Rucker bill abolishes the state dlspen-
sary and provides for county dis
pensaries and prohibition. Under the
bill sent to the senate no elections
are to be held in counties that have
already voted out the dispensary.

HELENA, MONT, EXPERIMENTS
IN FOREST TREE PLANTING

known in Europe. The educational
value of such forest is we'll worth
consideration. A knowledge of what
forestry means would be good deal
more common in this country if other
towns would initiate the example set
by Helena.
In order to secure a thoroughly
practical plan for the execution of the
park project, the Helena Improvement
Society availed itself of the co-opera-
tive offer of the Government Forest
Service, which places its trained for
esters at the disposal of those who
wish to establish plantations of forest
trees. During the past summer re-
preventative made study of the con-
ditions on the ground, and, as re-
suit, detailed planting plan has just
been submitted to the society.
The proposed park contains about
900 acres. There are about 140 acres
covered with young timber. and 400
acres more on which some timber is
growing. Planting will be done on
about 600 acres Western yellow pine
and red fir are the trees recommended
for most of this area. These species
comprise nearly all of the present
stand. so that their adaptability to
existing conditions of soil and climate
may be depended upon. Besides this
they are among the most stately and
also the most valuable trees of the
western forest. Finally, seed from
these trees is readily obtained in
abundance in the neghborhood. so that
ease and economy in the planting OPP
erations will be secured by their use.
Other trees adapted for the park are
timber pine, lodgepOle pine, blue
spruce, knobcone pine, Monterey pine
and Coulter pine. The spacing re-
commended, six by six feet, would give
1910 trees to the acre on land which
is without trees. Where the land is
already partly stocked. from 500 to
1000 trees per acre will suffice. The
total number of trees required is esti-
mated at $4,000. To provide these a
special nursery will be started.

The population of Colorado would

hundreds of thousands would leave the

Canon city, FEBRUARY 22. 1906.

Canon City, February 20, 1906.
To The Press:-Haying little lei

readers little postup of what has
come under my observation since
reached this city.
This people. as rule, are bound up
In their own city. and IL is time spent
in vain to try to direct their attention
to any other spot on earth under the
sun. But, as in all other cases. so in
this, there are exceptions. ! have
found two men who are contemplating
a change in locality and have got
their names on my list OF parties who
have decided to go TO Montrose next
spring to look the valley over with a
view of locating.
/ am surprised to find here an OBJ
lection to this place, as home, equal
ly as serious as we had In Montrose
before we secured water for the city
from the Cimarron. Their hydrant
water Is taken out OF the Arkansas,
right in the city, and is often so bad
sometimes in the year that the stock
refuse to drink IT. Some of the citi-
zens say they have had this condition

they will ever have IL different.
Montrose could emulate this city in
one thing, greatly to their advantage.
Inside of two or three years they have
built twenty-five miles of concrete and
cement sidewalk, four or five inches OF
concrete and then one and one-half OF
cement This kind of sidewalk every
where prevails throughout the city
north of the river. and added to this
improvement are twenty-five miles OF
sewerage. When Montrose attends
properly to those two important
things. boasting of her advantages VIII
be very much easier and more telling.
The Canon City people publish this to
good effect.
But when asked about their peach
crops they hang their heads and are
sorry to have to say I'VE are not in It
on raising that kind of fruit. Once In
five or seven years is as often as we
can get crop A few lay down their
trees for the winter and succeed In
getting an inferior crop.

rate, and did not expect 1t, especially
here: but / do find opportunity to pre-
sent the claims of our valley to large
number of people. ] am finishing this
letter on the cars, and have just con-
cluded an hour or more talk with
three men from three eastern states,
who are looking for locations In the

Colorado cities should watch with
interest the experiment Helena, Mon
tana, is entering upon in tree planting.
If the territory surrounding the
Royal Gorge is ever given over to a
national or city park there should be
some tree planting done there.
Canon City lacks forests or treed
parks in its vicinity. We need more
trees. The government is very liberal
toward all movements to plant trees
and establish forests. We have many
mountain slopes that would bear for
ests if protected and cared for
Public-spirited citizens of Helena
Montana, have for some time been agi-
tating plan to convert the unsightly
slopes of Mount Helena, which lies
just outside the city, into a forest
park. A great deal of interest has
been awakened throughout the state
by this project. for the people of He
lena will not be the only ones to ben
eft by it. Successful forest planting
will be difficult, owing to the semi-arid
conditions. and will call for expert
skill in the selection of suitable spe-
cies, the details of planting. and sub
sequent care of the plantation. A so
luton of the problem will serve as an
object lesson of forest planting under
similar conditions elsewhere.
In city parks the kind of decorative
effect sought is generally secured by
the art of the landscape gardener ra-
ther than by that of the forester. In
the case of Helena there will be
reared, not single individuals or small
groups of trees, such as are set in
the conventional park, but true for
est. Later on the tres may be cut
for timber, without in the least inter-
fering with the integrity of the park.
A good many cities have parks which
are partly or wholly woodland, and,
preserved in its natural state; but
no one thinks of cutting the timber
when it is grown. Communally owned
forests, however. maintained primarily
as productive properties. are not un-
