From Chicago to Savannah.

Chicago, SpeciaI--A proposition
to establish a State-owned railroad
from Chicago TO Sayannaha Ga, was
suggested to Corporation Counsel
Lewis by Governor HoEe Smith; Of
Georgia, in a letter. Gov. Smith
declared-that such a line would re-
duce freight rates and would have a
great influence on trade relations
with the South. The letter says:
81 am much interested in the rail-
road rates from the lakes to Georgia.
Our State owns a railroad from At
lanta to Chattanooga and there is a
strong sentiment In favor of extend
ing it to Savannah. IF CINCINNATI
could reclaim control of the line built
by its citizens from Cincinnati to
Chicago, and Cincinnati and Chicago
would join a movement for the con-
struction of a line from Chicago to
Savannah, there might be a through
trunk line from Ccicago to Savannah,
operated solely for the purpose of
paying expenses and interests of the
actual cost of construction without
the burdens of watered stocks and
bonds. Such a line would prove ben
eficial not only to the great cities
through which it passed but to a
broad territory adjacent to the line.
It would reduce freight rates more
than % per cent. It would have a
most marked influence on our trade
relations

NEWS IN BRIEF
4 Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by a Caucasian Representative.

Nothing IS more significant OF the
great advance made in women's club
work than the impetus given to the IN
tercst in arboricuiture, parks. cemeteries,
school grounds, highways ard t7eeless
plains. Not always have the clubs taken
hold Of practical things for time was
when the preDaratiou ard reading Of pa
Ders meant the whole thing, but now the
clubs from Maine to Texas are active in
forestry movements and irrigation, the
pioneers in many cases, making the viii
dcrness to blossom as the rose and deS-
ert places yerdant.
A Delaware club has planted an ave
nue. Of trees one mile long, reaching
from one end Of town to another. | he
clubs of Massachusetts, are giving valu-
able assistance in fighting the brown tail
and gipsy moth. The women OF Salem,
| n. c., two years ago aroused public
sentiment III this line. and the children
gathered and burnt $4,000 moth nests
The clubs OF Salem made all appeal to
the children to purchase and plant fruit
trees on arbor days. The result is the
planting OF 1900 fruit trees by the chil-
dren. Through the more general OBJ
seryance OF arbor day by the schools,
grand and beautifully practical and eth
ical work is being done, III which the
clubs have had part. State charmen
have issued circulars containing Sugges-
tions for work along practical forestry
| lines: travelling Libraries and lantern
slide lectures have been furnished, and
movements inaugurated to externnate
tree pests and secure state foresterS,
Highway and memorial trees have been
planted, prizes offered i'll schools for es-
says on forestry topics, and instruction
in forestry in the State universities also
asked for.
The clubs north, south, east and west
lined up valiantly last winter to aid the
movement to secure Appalachian and
White mountain reserves and help MINI
nesota to retain her Chippewa reserve.
Women's clubs are indeed taking
prominent and active part In the forming
OF public opinion and national legisla-
ton.
