We have a very large visionary

a word about Ellis. Ellis is nice
little town of about 1900 inhab-
itants. The town is well supplied
with shade trees, you can hardly
see the town for them. They
have made fine growth in the
last two years. The Union Paci-
fic has planted trees and some
blue grass and now there is a
fine park where ten years ago
there was nothing but mud hole
and frog pound. The city has
a fine park, joins this park on the
east, which would be credit to
the town if they would clean it up
and trim the trees up little bit.
Now the way it is, if the officer
get after you, just jump in the
park and hide in the weeds
(Now listen for howl from the
Headlight)
By the way I visited the editor
of the Headlight and he showed
me some trees he planted four
years ago and now they are z
inches in diameter and 35 feet
high. They are carolina poplars;
they make fine shade and the
wind don't break the limbs off
like it does on the other trees.

OgaIIah Forestry Station.

Sundays Star had an interest
ing article on the Ogallah Forest
nv station from which we take
the following extracts:
The first forestry commission
er was Mr. S. G. Robb and he
made a good start. He was a
practical forester, although he
had to learn the requirements of
the new position as he went
along. He stimulated interest in
trees in the country about Ogal-
lah, which was then much hard
er to arouse than it would be now,
for then the people lived in sod
houses and were pioneers in the
real sense, beset with the hard
