Sidewalk District.

The first experiment with trying
to get stone sidewalks in the resi-

tried on Ninth avenue from the
corner of Ninth street to the Normal
school entrance. 1. Rothschild who
has the sidewalk question in charge
for the Commercial Club was again
before the city council last week
about the matter. He was in
structed to go ahead with forming
Ninth avenue into sidewalk dis
trict and see II he could induce resi-
dents along that thoroughfare to sign
the agreement to put in the walks.
If this. plan proves successful on
Ninth avenue other streets Of the
city will be worked in the same way.
Stone sidewalks are finally to be
laid on Ninth street from Eighth

AS TREE PLANTER
Col, C. A. White Took Lead on
Arbor Day

Col. G. A. White has taken up
the forestry question In practical
way on his farm west of the city.
Last Friday, Arbor Day, he set out
a group of 400 trees Just north Of
the farm house on some Of the best
ground there is on the place. The
only reason he did not set out more
that day was the evening overlook
the workmen before they had finished
the planting of 600 trees which Mr..
White had ready for planting. The
trees planted were black locust and
hardy catalpa and the work was done
under the direction of the state for
estry association.
Col. White says, you may state
for me, as hard as you wish, that l
am not of the class who cut down
trees along the road In order that l
may grow few more sacks OF pota-
toes. Neither am 1 taking ground
for tree planting that Is good for
nothing else, but l take the best
ground that can find on, the place.
This is not question of the present
with me, but 1 am willing Ito do
this for posterity. / think every
man, who possibly can, should look
at this forestry question In the same
way
Col. White already has a large
grove of cottonwood trees on his
place that was set out years ago, ana
is practically the only piece OF forest
within scores of miles of Greeley.
