TREES AS TOWN BEAUTIFIERS
How q Missourian Made His Home
City Attractive


City Attractive.
The prairie town without trees is
cherries and unattractive. Few things
add more to the attra ctiyeness Of q
town than rows of thrifty shade trees
planted along its streets.
Village and town improvement socie-
ties and civic associations have done
much to promote tree planting. espe-
cially in the prairie regions Of the mid
die west. Where trees adapted to To-
cal conditions have been planted and
where the citizens have cared for them
and taken an interest in them the re-
suits have been remarkable.
A public spirited man residing In a
city in Missouri has been doing COM
mendable work along this line inscon-
nection with the Civic Improvement
league Of his city. In the year 1901 he
planted large quantity Of seeds of va
rious trees in nursery rows. He care
fully tended the young seedlings and
a few years later dug them up, labeled
them and turned them over to the
school children free upon condition that
they should be planted and cared for.
Since the trees started life with the be-
ginning Of the present century they
were called century trees" and this
gave them additional interest.
Each child was given printed direc-
tons, which We're headed as follows:
tournament your homes. Plant cen.
fury trees, seedlings of 1901. They are
living monuments; watch them develop
They began with the century. and the
ord Of their age year by year"
Those who received trees We're di-
rected to dig holes two feet in diameter
and one and half feet deep. They
were told to keep the roots OF the trees
moist and covered until planted, tc
see that all torn ends of roots were
cut off smoothly and to cut back the
side branches about quarter or third
Of their length or. II the tree was a
straight shoot without branches, to cut
back the tip few inches This prun-
ing was to balance the loss Of roots in
digging up the trees.
In planting the tree they were told
to spread the roots out into natural
position and to set the tree about an
inch deeper in the ground than it stood
in the nursery; to use good rich soil.
but to allow no fertilizer or mulch to
come into direct contact with the roots.
to work the soil carefully about the
roots and to water the tree plentifully
every few days after it was set out
and during the dry weather Of sum.
mer
Five or six thousand trees were
given away in this manner Two OF
three trees were given to each child
who asked for them, and almost every
child did So There were many spe-
cies. and naturally some died, but few
children lost all that they planted.
Each child who received trees was re-.
quired to I'LL out slip giving his name
and address and the place where the
tree was planted The trees in public
places will be labeled when they have
grown somewhat lager.
The town is now dotted with these
little century trees, which have become
the pride Of those who planted them.

Young Boy Shot by His Playmate

The report of a sad accident
comes from Priest River. Over
east of that town about two miles
is an Italian settlement. Sunday
a number of boys of the neighbor-
hood were out hunting. Some
time during the expedition a stop
was made ard one of the boys.
Bombino by name, lay down be-
side a log to rest. Just what the
boys were doing at this time is not
certain, but in the end son of Joe
Capari shot and killed the Bonn
bino boy. Of course, under the
circumstances, all of the boys were
greatly excited, and one ran home
and reported that the Capari boy
had purposely shot and killed the
Bombino lad. This the accused
vehemently denied. claiming that
the shot was an accident. Bad
feeling already existed between the
families of the boys, and for time
there was imminent danger OF fur
ther tragedies. County Coroner
Knapp was notified of the affair
