How to Plant Shade Trees.

Plant just as early as the ground is
In good condition to work. Medium
sized trees transplant better and are
less liable to be blown over or die out
than the tall, overgrown trees. If the
main shoot is over eight feet in height,
1t should be topped and the side
branches shortened. This should al
ways be done in planting any variety
of deciduous or fruit trees. In planting
have the holes large and deep enough
to receive the roots when spread out.
Put about six inches Of good earth in
the bottom of each hole. After the
tree is in place and the roots spread
out, cover with the good black earth.
pressing the earth to the roots with the
foot. After the earth is all in cut the
limbs back, stake with M stout stake
and tie tree with a canvas band to the
stake. If stakes cannot be had, put
four or six large stones close up to the
trunk. This will prevent the roots
from being shaken loose by the wind.

COMMONER AND KING.
An English Description of the Joys of
Being His Majesty's Guest.

The recent visit of John Burns to
Windsor castle at the invitation OF
King Edward vas unique, inasmuch as
the president of the local government
board is probably the only labor repre-
sentative who has been honored with
an invitation to dine and sleep at the
royal residence by the ~reigning SOW
ereign of the country, says London Tit
Bits.
1t must have been Il curious expert
ence for one who was obliged to com
mence the struggle for Il livelihood at
ten years of age to be saluted by sen
tries as the guest of the King and to
be relieved of even his hand bag by a
royal footman.
Any one, however. who is invited to
dine with their majesties is waited up
on in practically the same manner as
the king and queen would be them
selves. If a large party from Lon
don are asked to spend the night at
Windsor castle, a special train is pro
vided, and royal servants attend In
order to wait upon the guests. In the
case of Mr.. Burns a special carriage
was reserved for him, and a closed car
riage, drawn by a pair Of horses In
charge of a position, met him at Wind
SOr.
While of course the ordinary rules OF
royal etiquette are observed, there is
always an absence of rigid Formally
when commoners dine with the king.
His majesty acts the part of genial
host to perfection and with his usual
tact never fails to put his guests quite
at ease.
During the after dinner smoke he
throws off all reserve and jokes and
chats with his guests just as an ordi-
nary individual. Their majesties usu-
ally retire from the company about 10
or II o'clock, although that does not
mean that the guests must do like
wise. They may please themselves In
exactly the same way as If they were
at home. That their movements are
in nowise restricted by any form Of
Mr.. Burns the morning following his
visit to Windsor castle was up at 8
and was looking round the grounds be-
tween Z and 8.
Their majesties seldom breakfast
with their guests. Sometimes they
give their farewell greeting the previ-
Gus evening if the guest is leaving the
following morning. Usually. however,
both the king and queen say goodby
to any one who has been staying at
the castle just before the guest leaves.

IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES.
Organization Essential to Promotion Of
Civic Beauty.

Civic Beauty.
A good live society for precinct,
ward. community or town improve
ment is a necessity in this day and
age, says the Los Angeles Times. 1t
matters little how smoothly matters
are going, there is always an added
strength in organization. Nothing can
be so we'll done individually as it may
be collectively, There are few excep-
lions to the general truth of the old
saying, "In union there is strength"
For every organization of this kind
there is plenty of work to do. both
specific and general. In the city it
consists of lettering street car service,
lighting, sewerage, storm drains, OBJ
ment, park area, removal of factories
and other industries injurious to health
n many matters about which the
ordinary city official will not concern
himself unless confronted with a for
midable array of members, we'll organ
lied and determined.
In the lesser centers of population
the field is still broader, and there is
hardly any limit to its possibilities. In
a small city a good organization can so
control the municipal government on
strictly nonpartisan lines as to dictate
how every dollar of their money shall
be spent and see to. it t1at full value

The Hares of Maine.

The keunebec Journal says that
Game Warden George w. Ross in one
month recently counted 300 barrels of
dead hares going to Boston and New
York markets over the Washington
County railway. Furthermore, it is
estimated by the game wardens that
more than 100000 hares are shipped
from Maine every year and as many
more used as food within the state.
Notwithstanding this and the fact that
thousands Of hares are devoured every
year by beasts and birds of prey these
small animals continue to increase.

GRAFTON those tasks may first be taken
ace to the welfare and happiness Of all,
and from such a simple beginning the
good work may be extended, with lit
tie cost, but on conservative, economic
lines until the town shall be noted far
and wide for the number and class of
it's improvements.
Not only will such q course be a per-
manent ource of pride and satisfac-
ton to all its OWL people, but the town

Good Pavements Valuable.

OF course it costs money to macad-
amize a pavement, but there is no vii
lage or town which should not incur
the expense of putting at least its main
street in the finest order. Such an i'm
provement adds to the value of every
piece of real estate within the limits.

JAPANESE FAIL TO
FOOL. OFFICIALS
S. $. KuMERtC ARRIVES AT PORT
TOWNSEND WITH IMMIGRANTS
WHO ARE REFUSED LANDING.

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 2i.-The
arrival of the steamship Kumeric at
this port today exposed a new method
of bringing Japanese immigrants into
America. The plan consists Of en-
barking the Japanese in the Orient
with passports for the United States
.and tcketing the passengers for Brit
ish Columbia ports where they are
disembarked The advantage of the
|entry gives the aliens the privilege Of
traversing British Columbia, on the
strength of their passports for adms-
sion to the United States and later on
coming over the border
Exposure came through the refusal
of American medical officers of the
immigration service, stationed at Vic
ttoria, to certify the physical condition
of the arrivals at the British Columbia
port Saturday The refusal followed
a statement that as all appearances
indicated the passengers were for the
United States, consideration of their
fright to enter should rest with immi-
grafton physicians at Tacoma, to
which point the Kumeric was destined.
The KumeriC is a British vessel. at
present operated under charter in con-
InectiOn with the Boston Steamship
| lCOmpany's liners Shawmut and Ire
mont She is rated as a freighter only,
and the fact that 1O6 passengers were
Icarried in steerage accommodations
caused an investigation by customs
officers at this port Conditions said
! to be in violation Of United States
marine regulations covering sanitary
land other requirements were disclosed.
A report Of the investigation has been
lmade to Collector of Customs Harper
! with whom rests the authority for inn
Iposing fines and penalties.
Local representatives of the Kume-
| Iric's charterers denouuce the action of
1.-THE American medical officers station
ed at Victoria in refusing to certify to
Ithe condition of the Japanese passen-
gers that they might be landed in Brit
Iish Columbia

Ian important part in the recent whole
| sale importation of Japanese immi-
grants into this country. During the
late international difficulties at Van
couver the steamship brought 500 Jap
Ianese into Vancouver.

INCREASE Of
Immigration

WASHINGTON. December S.-Some
interesting facts about immigration are
given in the annual report Of the Secre-
tary Of Commerce and Labor, made
public today. The Secretary says:
The total number of aliens admitted
during the year was ,2S5,34 which
exceeded that for the fiscal year 1906
by 1864 and that for the fiscal year
1905 by 25SS50 being increases Of II
and % per cent respectively. During
the year 13,O64 aliens were rejected, an
increase over the reflections for the
fiscal year 1906 Of 632 The total num-
Der seeking admission in 1907, there
fore was 1,29S,413, an increase over
the total number applying in 1906 of
lS5.246
A notable feature of the mmigra-
Lion consists in the fact that of the
aliens admitted 1.100,771 ranged in age
from IA to A years, and 1894 were
less than IA years of age, leaving only

come and help swell the fund along on
