ABOUT 4RBoR DAY.

Arbor day sh build be as generally
celebrated throughout North Dakota
on next Friday as should Independ-
ence day, and the latter should be
observed by every citizen. In a way
the former is as important as the
latter. The observance of our natal
day keeps alive on the countrys affairs
the fires of patriotism. The observ-
ance of Arbor lay will preserve that
love for the beautiful which alone
makes a people exalted Our national
independence Il unaccompanied by
that love for the things which dis
tinguish the h CHER civilization from
the savage will still leave us an UNI
cultured people.
In patriotic sense, therefore, the
two events sta ind side by side. But
Arbor day serves also a practical
purpose. The preservation of the for
ests and their reproduction when once
used in the ecd nomy of commerce are
among the great essentials which
have come FROM the elementary prin-
ciple of Arbor day. This is a prac-
teal matter, Int the American peo-
pie have the Happy faculty of COM
bining the prad ical with the aesthetic
and thereby accomplishing double
purpose. (
In country like North Dakota
where the abu se of nature by the
Indians resulted in treeless expanse,
save in the mountains and along the
streams, the day is of special impor-
lance. This state is one now of per-
manent homes and established cities.
Were the people here but temporari-
ly there would he little call for beau
tifying the Landscape. But by far the
greater portion of the present inhab-
itants of the slate will spend their
remaining days within it's borders.
Here their child ten will grow to man
hood and womah hood and make their
homes. 1t is important therefore, that
in tree planting We look beyond the
present.
Nothing will sd conduce to the beau
ty of the landscape as trees and
groves. What a glorious view it
would be to look from some elevation
in the midsummer and see the great
fields of Yellow hg grain stretching
as far as the etc could reach over
the prairies, and ending only where
earth and sky unite, but dotted ev-
erywhere with the emerald green of
grove and forest Artificial the for
ests would be, but none the less real.
Not only would these groves serve
to make beautiful the most magnifi-
cent landscape upon which the sun
ever shone, but they would add ma
terially to the comfort of the people.
The advantage they would serve as
wind breaks AMI as protection against
snow drifts is so elementary that it
need not be discussed. But the i'm
portance of these things has not yet
aroused the people, even of the older
portions of the state, to general
planting of groves.
The late legislature made ample
provision for carrying ito the fullest
effect the spirit of Arbot day in this
state. 1t passed law allowing a
bounty of three dollars per acre for
every acre Of forest trees planted
and cultivated on every eighty acres
