Forest Tree Seeds.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The demand for gathering and plant
ing forest tree seeds is from two
sources: first. from the hundreds of
thousands Of square miles of denuded
forest lands of the northeast and south
east United States for reforesting.
The other and more pressing neces-
sity is from the thirteen great timber
less plains and prairie states and ter
ritcr!es west of the Mississippi river.
About four months ago the superin-
tendent OF trees and parkfngs here very
kindly gave me permission to gather
tree seeds from the street trees of this
city. which number about 95,0U0--the
greatest number and variety of any city
tendent of the Capitol building and
grounds extended similar courtesy to me.
And since September ,, while gathering
forty EIGHT sacks of forest tree seeds.
approximately two millions of good
germinative quality, twenty-three sacks
of which / have planted in Virginia,
about two miles west Of Falls Church,
have been thinking of the stupendous
work of supplying the two demands
from the sources mentioned and of Il
simple method of accomplishing this
great work of reforesting and forest
ing the east and west, namely, by gath
ering and planting the tens of millions
of forest tree seeds that are annually
produced ana wasted IN TINS city an
nuaily.
The children. under efficient direction.
could gather and plant many millions of
forest tree seeds in and near Washington
d. c.. every year. The forest tree seeds
yet available here are principally black
and honey locust, golden catalpa, Nor
way maple, with millions of sycamore
and yellow wood. All these are useful
for timber and hardy. rapid grow
ers. The Norway maple is a superior
shade tree also, as its large. strong leaf
stems hold the leaves in nearly a hori
zontal position.
While commencing all wise legisla-
ton and efforts for forest conserva-
ton l would respectfully appeal to
every man. woman and child who can to
gather and plant all the forest tree
seeds possible. every year, and Guilt
vate and protect the seedlings intelli
gently, and persistently continue
annually for the next thirty years.

Mack Releases Veterans.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 12.-
Connie Mack handed out d big surprise
last night when he announced that he
had released outright Jimmy Collins. the
onc-rine peer of al! third basement, and
Outfielder Seybold Last year neither
Collins nor Seybold did much to help the
Athletics along. and many fans in this
city expected TO see both men 90, but
when it was announced that both had
been released Internationally it came as
big surprise. This meant that all the
clubs in the American and National
leagues waived claim on both players, and
that they were free to go anywhere they
chose.
Seybold will most likely sign with To-
Iedo. but Collins. after a long talk with
Wilde refused to sign an agreement
which Wilde offered him. Toledo would
like to get Jimmy to manage the team.

kept at fever heat throughout, despite
the fact that the losers seemed to be out

best work was toss the fun length of

was excellent at every instant. Wheeler
played "A clever game Tor the losers max
ing three difficult goals.
The second teams also furnished an
hour of good sport. The tossing and de-

IRRIGATION WELL
 FOR PIMA INDIANS
The First One of the System to Be Operated by the Power From Roose- Vet.

S. K. Baker assistant engineer of the reclamation service. returned yes tcrday from Sacaton where he went on Monday to inspect the new well recently completed by the service. as the first of a great many that are to be sunk. This system of wells will be used for irrigation of the Indian lands, the water to be raised by pump ing with electric power brought from the Roosevelt dam. The well inspect ed, like those to follow, is a drilled we'll the reclamation service having a fine new rig for that purpose. the equal of any drilling outfit in the val ley. By an arrangement between the reclamation service and the Indian service, the former drills the wells and is remunerateI for the expense by the Indian bureau. Just what this eX- pense will be per well cannot be ar rived at now, or until kbe entire sys- tem is finished. so the cost of the drilling plant and other expenses can be divided up among them. The eN- perience thus far. however, is very satisfying and indicates that it will be comparatively cheap.
 This initial well is at the village of Santan. two and a half miles north of Sacaton and one and a half miles from the river. It is 150 feet deep and has a sixteen inch casing, which is larger than most wells Of the kind and will afford a fine flow of water. the casing being perforated. water was first encountered at the depth of tWenty-eight feet. Further down on breaking through a cement gravel for nation the water rose five feet, SO it now stands at twenty-three feet from the surface. Sinking was then con tinued to bed rock and into it for sev- eral feet to make sure the formation was permanent and solid.
 The water. says MT. Baker. has not been chemically tested vet but judg- ing from taste it is equal to the best water found in this valley. IL will not be decided how many wells will be driven until after more of them have been sunk and the results noted. but it is likely that when the work on the reservation is finished the plant will be utilized for similar work south and east of Mesa.
 This reservation system has no con- nection with the wells sunk there some time ago from the Sacaton agency farm. They continue in use with the same pumping plant and supply only the village of Sacaton.
