STREET TREE PLANTING.
How 80. Louis Expects TO secure the Most
satisfactory Results.

In the general movement for civic inn
provement the question of trees ia al i'm
portant factor, ard much attention has
been given to the choice of the best trees
for st. Louis conditions. says the Globe
Democrat. Several kinds Of trees nave been
tested 10y experts. and two have been found
TO be capable of enduring without injury
the smoke, soft coal gases and other condi-
tions peculiar 10 this city. These are the
sycamore and in some degree the swamp
Cor soft maple.
The city has been laid out in districts for
tree planting. certain trees allotted to GER
tain sections, and the two trees mentioned
being given The preference. Hereafter the
city forester will see hat only the kind Of
tree officially designated for each particular
locality will he planted in that locality.
This plan has been adopted with a view
to harmony and n consequent greater street
beauty. 1t has been found that If trees of
the same species are planted together the
general effect is more symmetrical and
pleasing To the eye than il different sorts
are grouped. Trees of the same species
have the same general form and outline,
spread to about the same distance and form
a more COMPACT mass of foliage than il
those of different foliage and branch area
and different rapidity of growth are used.
Some property owners object to what they
term the arbitrary action of the city in
compelling a man to plant one sort of tree
when he wan to plant another, but In most
cases when reasons for this action are ex-
planned they see the.purpose and are will
ing to conform to the new rules especially
since il relates to sidewalk trees only and
lea YES the individual free to make his own
choice of trees for his yard.
Sycamore and naples are now there
fore the official trees for st. Louis. and all
fut ure tree planting will be done in conform.
ity with the new order. This is also in con-
sonance with the fact that the street trees
are planted on the city's property. not the
property owners.

WE LOSE PHILIPPINE TRADE.
Our Exports to the stands Fen on no Per

The foreign trade OF the Philippines
underwent a considerable shrinkage last
year. The most unsatisfactory feature Of
the annual eview given by tho Journal OF

serious check to the progressively grow

The decline in imports from the United
States, amounting to more than a million
dollars as compared with those Of 1905, is out
OF all proportion to the reduction in the gen.

something more than the whole brunt OF

FIRE In BRAYTON
The Residence Of Mr.. George Free
man Caught Fire Sunday, Caus-
ing Much Excitement.

Brayton people were very much
excited Sunday afternoon when the
alarm of fire was given which was
found to be at the residence of George
Freeman. A spark had fallen from
the chimney to the roof of the build
ing, burnt through to the inside and
craw ling down the front bet W cen the
weather boarding and the plastering
was making considerable Roadway
when discovered by two little girls
near by. Soon willing hands were
on the ground, ladders brought and
the bucket brigade formed and Geo.
Arnold mounted to the roof, Frank
Freeman passed up an ak and then
the buckets OF water as fast as they
could be used until the blaze was put
out. While this was going on,
others were at work removing the
household goods and everything was
removed to place of safety except
four bedsteads which we're in the
upper rooms yet when the fire was
subdued. But little damage resulted
from the blaze, but it the fire should
have occurred Monday when the
wind was blowing a stiff breeze, the
whole block would no doubt have
gone up in smoke.
Mr.. Freeman wishes to thank the
people OF Brayton for their prompt
assistance in this emergency.
