FOREST PLANTING.
Santa fe 10 Send Inspector to Ans traIia to Study Eucalyptus
 Tree for He Timber.

hSc tVt tit iunDCt
 The Santa Fe Railway has made arrangements to send the manager |of it's tie and timber department. Mir. E. 0. Faulkner, to Australia to make a study of tn, Eucalyptus trees of that country with a special view tp their value as tie timber. The Eucalyptus are natives of Australia, but have flourished in the southwestern part of che United States. and especially in California. The tree grows rapidly, is tall and straight; and certain species resist decay and are admirably fitted for railway ties.
 It is not the purpose of the Rail way company to import ties from Australia, but to study the trees, note the best species, and secure seed of those not yet introduced in the United States. This railroad be- gan tree planting last year on a large scale. and will plant half a million more trees the coming win ter. in southern California. The  species of Eucalyptus imported into the United States up to the pres entime are suited only to planting in California, and in the southwest ern part of the United States. They do not thrive in the North west. the Mississippi Valley, or the East.
 This undertaking by the Santa Fe marks another step taken by the railroads of this country to provide ties by growing them. The demand at present calls for more than l00, 0000, GOO a year, and the most suit able woods have already been so heavily drawn upon that they can no longer supply the demand, and inferior woods are taking their place.
 The railroads are looking ahead and they see that the supply will grow smaller and the demand larger from year to year, and to provide against a tie famine, some of the larger railroads. other than the Santa Fe. are planting trees on a scale commensurate with their future needs. Such a step as this, taken by railway companies. indi- cates the remarkable progress and development of the idea of conner cial foreest planting in the United States.

 dale, Ark.

Saturday was an exciting day for shoppers in Springdale. The new store of the :. N. Mere. X Salvage Company was opened in the Long building at the west end of Emma Avenue.

The doors were opened at 9:15. and in ten minutes the store was packed so that the clerks could not get around. The managers had to close the doors on the crowd at ten o'clock and have a door keep CT let a few i'll at time until after , o'clock. Their sales are reported very large for that day. Since Tuesday they have been re- ceiving all kinds of dry goods, clothing, overcoats, ladies suits, cloaks, skirts, silks and piece goods until their store Is now very crowded. They evidently expect to do a very large business, judging from the size of stock they are putting iH.

 miss wonderful opportunity ii they don't attend this safe and at all early date.
