Deneen company is allowed to erect an

1t is understood that the Deneen COM

Mayor schmitz resides. when he is not
passing the time of day with foreign
folk in royal purple 1t has been
stated by friends of the Mayor that the
mansion cost him $4,000. The Mayor
certainly drove a good bargain.
For Ruef. it has been said that when
he elected his Mayor he expressed a
desire to gain what wealth he could,
at the same time remaining within the
bounds OF the law In explanation IT -
now offered that either his foot slipped.
or his knowledge of the law was def

rival boss in local politics Ruef once
said: You're foolish for not going In

was a gathering of the men
who were wont to congre-
gate in the 1obbies of the
City Hall and in the wait

office. There was enthu-
siasm of the Tammany type
and speeches such as Tweed
and his followers were wont
to deliver when in the
height of their power. There
was the same declaration
of the sanctity of the voice
of the people, and in the
same breath approval of
the dismissal of a pub

people. In short, it was the

so that the organization may be in

men who. as Ruef said last evening
may not be the best men in the COM

the finer points of the game. No chances
will be taken, but every artful device
which politics has produced will be
employed to keep the members in line

Heney and Burns regard as typical
the case of a welI-known furniture
dealer, who before the fire had large
establishment on lower Post street.
With the expansion of business it was
necessary to add new stories. Ma
terial was secured and all made ready
for the beginning of the work. But
there was delay in securing the permit.
Pedestrians who frequented that Sec
tion of the shopping district will re-
call that for very long time the side
walk was boarded over. but still the
work did not begin. Then one fine
day a sum-it wasn't big sum. only
a few thousand dollars-was judicious-
ly expended. Then all went as merrily
as a lark in spring. The building quick
ly rose to the desired height. the board
ing came down and all hands thrived.
Heney is prepared to present for
Ruefs quiet consideration a number Of
cases of which this is merely an in

man, and being compelled as an or

and the administration officials are in
nocent of wrong they should invite an
investigation for the purpose of vindi-
cation. Their efforts to thwart the
process of law can only be taken as
an acknowledgment of guilt

WHAT FOREST TREEs 70 PIANT


| A reader Of these notes residing Ia
the northern part Of the WI tiers home
state writes an interesting letter In.
which he takes exception 10 d recent
article which appeared in this depart
ment In which the soft maple was rec.
/ commended as the most practical tree
| to plant with view to securing a
grove that would make quick growth
and insure supply of fuel of fairly.
! good quality. For the purpose named
/ we see no reason for revising the rec
ommendation as made. Assuming 8
| different ultimate object in the plant
| ing Of a grove, which our correspond
ent does, we agree quite fully with
him In his suggestions. His view in re-
| gard to tree planting is that, barring
shade trees, no tree should be planted
which will not ultimately produce a
saw log, this because Of the increasing
scarcity of timber and consequent In
crease in price. For this reason he
holds that every farmer. should prepare
for the future and take precautions
which will insure him a supply of lum-
Der at the end Of a period Of twenty
five or thirty years. For this purpose
he thinks no tree will compare with the
cottonwood which under favorable
conditions will make a growth of three
fourths Of an inch in diameter annual
". In thirty years time this would
give a tree large enough SO that it could
be sawed into material especially
adapted for the inside Of barn build
ings. He recommends planting the IN
side rows with black walnut, d few
rows on either side with cottonwoods,
with European larch on the outside.
In his own words: 'sAll are moderate
ly fast growers. In twenty years time
the larches would be ready to sell for
telephone poles, in thirty years the cot
tOnWOods would be valuable for the
purposes above mentioned, and at any
period later the walnuts would be rap
idly increasing in value They should
all be planted thick enough so that
they would grow tall and the lower
branches fall off and be trimmed to a
height Of twenty or thirty feet, gradual
" thinning out as necessity required
In case the farmer has a grove our
friend recommends planting walnuts in
all vacant places, which In time would
give desirable walnut grove, a sug-
gestion that Is timely. For the man
who is willing to wait the length Of
time necessary the plan our correspond
ent suggests is admirable and his sug-
gestfon as to the varieties Of trees de-
sirable for planting excellent, but we
fear for the average farmer it requires
too high type of horticultural faith,
which, while commendable, Is Of rare
occurrence, but which perhaps for that
reason needs every possible encourage
ment. For the man who has faith
and is willing to wait the plan of tree
planting suggested is first rate; for the
one who feels he cannot wait so long
and does not have in. view q lumber
supply the soft maple grove will be
found very satisfactory substitute.

PRIZES FOR GOOD ROADS.

A very commendable rivalry that
has been inaugurated by county agri-
cultural society Of western state is
the outgroWth Of offering a series Of
prizes for portions Of the county roads
kept IN the best shape by the use Of
the King drag. Farmers living along
the roads leading into the county seat
have already begun work on the roads
with q view to securing the prizes, and
! a marked Improvement in their con
dition has been noted. There are fea-
lures connected with this competition
which lead one to hope that 1t may
become to an extent epidemic.
