APPRECIATE EFFORTS
TO PROTECT TROUT

The fishermen Of this vicinity are
more than pleased at the action of
the Beaver Land and Irrigation COM
pany in taking necessary steps for
the protection of the trout in Beaver
creek. At a recent meeting Of the
local branch OF the Colorado Game
and Fish Protective association reso-
lutions were drafted extending the
thanks Of the members to the COM
pany. The resolution follows:
Resolved, that tthe hearty thanks
of the members of this association be
and is hereby extended to the Beaver
Land and Irrigation company for the
manner in which they are protecting
the fsf of Beaver creek by sore ening
their bitches, thus preventing their
escape from the main stream and that
the managers of this company have
set an example that might we'll be
followed by Others "
Ever since the Beaver company
began its work of arranging to divert
the water Of the stream, especially
from the lower part of the creek. the
fishermen have been more or less anx-
ious as to the outcome of the fisher
mems sport in those waters. 1t is
the only water near Florence W here
there is any trout fishing worthy Of
the name. and II the Beaver company
had not arranged to protect the fish
from going through the ditches onto
the dry land and perishing. the ang-
lers would have found it necessary y
to go elsewhere with their rods. reels
and flies next summer.
This stream affords more pleasure
to the anglers than any other one
thing in this vicinity and as soon as
The Tribune noted the fact that the
fsh would be ri ven ample protection.
the members OF the association lost no
time In getting together and drafting
the resolutions as printed above.

TREES AND LANDSCAPE.

While the cultivation and the preser-
walton of trees belong to arboriculture
and forestry rather than to horticul-
SO intimately affects its appearance
that this branch of tree planting. trim
ming and care is properly a part Of
landscape gardening In Europe trees
are trimmed to grow in almost any de-
sired way. By this is not meant that
they are made to grow in balls and in
fantastic and fanciful forms after the
fashion into which many Of our ever
greens were tortured few years ago,
but they are led to assume striking eff
fects that are perfectly in keeping
with the natural appearance and yet
would not have been produced by ma
ture without assistance
The cutting and manning Of young
cedars and other evergreen trees int0
spheres, wheels and other impossible
shapes are on par with setting out
flowers in diamonds and other gro
tesque and unnatural figures. This sort
of travesty on both art and nature has
about the same relation to real land
scape gardening that commercial fakir-
ism has to genuine spirituality. These
caricatures both in flowers and trees
lack practically every essential to the
best effects. They are not beautiful.

A TRYING LANGUAGE.
The Study Of Japanese Is Surrounded
ty Difficulties,

The Study of Japanese Is Surrounded
by Difficulties.
Japanese is not an easy language
even for the native born subject of the
mikado. but it is very difficult of ac-
| quiFement by the westerner Give Hol-
| land in his book, "OId and New ia
pan," does not give foreigners any
Encouragement that they will ever be
able really to learn the language. 1t
takes japanese child seven years, it
is said, to learn the essential parts of
the Japanese alphabet. To use Japa-
nese dictionary, Mr.. Holland says, one
must be familiar with no fewer than
PA signs. which may be said to serve
the same purpose as initial letters in
American dictionaries. Then after one
has tracked down in one of these pa
signs some part of the character for
which he is about to undertake an ex-
ploration be still has a veritable north
pole hunt ahead of him.
The pompous first personal pronoun
is avoided whenever it is possible in
speaking Japanese. If it must be used
it is introduced casually, but generally
the abstract noun "selfishness" serves
in its stead. For example, a Japanese
would not say 81 don't drink wine,
but "Wine don't drink or, If this is
not clear enough, "Selfishness wine
don't drink Reference to ones own
possessions must be depreciatory. Thus
II man wishes to point out his own
residence he says, THAT miserable
house." which, of course. could refer
TO no other than his own. On the 9TH
sr hand, "That beautiful house" would
easiy identify the house as belonging to
some one else.
Moreover. any one who wishes to
learn Japanese must be prepared to
learn two languages, the written and
the spoken. The one differs so ma
terially from the other that If Japa-
nese is reading a book or newspaper
and wishes to do so aloud it becomes
necessary for him to translate the
written words into the colloquial. To
be able to read any of the higher class
Japanese newspapers, Mr.. Holland
says, it is necessary to master at least |
from $500 to 5000 ideographs.

The human race is still in its infancy
Up to the present moment, with a few
grand exceptions. man has lived mostly
an animal existence. The brute is only
partially educated out of him. He has
not yet evolved that superb character,
that diviner man, foreshadowed in the
beast How few people ever get any
thing more than mere glimpse of the
true glory of life! Few of US see any real
sentiment in life or anything above the
real animal existence and animal pleas
ures. Most of us look upon our occu-
patton as a disagreeabIe necessity that
somehow or other ought to have been
and might have been avoided. The
trouble with many of us is that we
think too meanly of ourselves Our
sordid aims and material, selfish am
billions have so lowered our standards
that we think downward instead of up

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people of Central
America is that of parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There is no courtship allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When a man selects a
woman he obtains the consent of the
parents on both sides, and If this is
given they are at once married. The
reason, however, for their not living
together as man and wife for one year
after marriage is in order to permit of
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends In different
parts Of the country, which is a Gus
tomary thing and occupies the time
specified. Ninety-nine out of a hundred

may be included also among the MIN

and monkeys make clever comedians,
but it is only the beaver parent tina

ers. quarrymen. miners, plasterers,
masons, carpenters. hodcarriers and

is undertaken the task is so divided
that each member of the colony has its
own particular work to look after. In
this way they make some wonderful

AN AMERICAN HORTICULTURE.

AN AMERICAN HORTICULTURE.
While frequent reference is made to
the forestry and gardening Of Euro
pean countries. it is not meant by this
to draw comparisons invidious to our
own methods, nor is it intended that
we should ape the older nations. Such
references are made only for the
purpose of stimulating US to our prop
er duty. The time will probably never
come in this country when gardeners
will carefully sweep the lawns, as is
the practice on many English estates
Landscape is precious in England,
there is so little of it. Here we have
more profusion. America should de-
velop her own horticulture, taking
proper advantage of the experience of
other lands. In the same manner she
should evolve her own system of for
estry. The great point is. however,
that she should move in these matters
now.
Let us have our own, by all means,
but let us have it. At present we have
nothing, or next to nothing Let us
take the same interest in this that we
do in electing a president or making
$1,000, and there will be some results.
1t is matter not one whit less impor
tant than either of these.
Yet, after all, there is not the slight
est reason why we should be sensitive
about learning from the older nations.
Beauty is a universal quality, and
nj hol
alike to all inhabitable chimes A fine
lawn is not matter of politics or ma
tionality; neither is charming land
scape thing to arouse provincial jeal-
ousy. What is needed by most peoples
is more breadth of view, and this ap-
plies to gardening as well as to the
other affairs of life. Let us forget
prejudice long enough to learn the real
things common to all that make life
worth while
It does not so much matter how we
get these things If we only do get
them. But that let us do. and speedily.
If God started mankind in a garden
and then drove them cut. perhaps he
intended that they should make anoth-
er garden of Eden after the original
model, or he may have devised that
they should change all the face Of the
land into such.
Where is a country more bounteously
savored for remaking the original gar
den than here In America? We have
taken the lead of the nations in so
many things that we should be asham-
ed to lag behind in this. But we are
not going to lag behind. We are just
making up our minds to go forward.
