Planting Railroad Station Grounds.

The planting of railroad station
grounds is a very important part of
making 4 town or city beautiful, and
each year more consideration is given
the subject. Finely planted grounds
give a good first impression of a place
that the observing traveller is not Slow
to appreciate. On the other hand,
slOvenly, dirty or i'll cared for grounds
give a bad first impression, and the
lack of improvements or care is quick
ly noticed by the experienced travel
er, for he has seen and noted station
grounds highly cmbcllished. Time
was when railroad gardening was a
mere incidental and the material used
was regarded as such, consisting large
ly of seasonal beds of flowers. This
style of work is rapidly being super
seeded by permanent all the year round
effects. Today the demand is for eX-
pcricnccd park builders, and spacious
grounds are being reserved along new
lines of travel. Town and city OtIi-
Gals should lend all possible encour-
agemcnt and aid to this work, for it is
the only glimpse the traveller gets of
some points, even of considerable size
and Importance

EFFECTIVE TOWN BEAUTIFUL.
Good That Can Be Done by an Ad-
visory Committee.

Some large towns, realizing that all
of their voters were not in position
to obtain information concerning the
business of the towns. have adopted
the eXpedient of an advisory commit
tee. This committee is composed OF
some twenty to forty representative
men, whose duty it IS to make thor
Ough examination of the business of
the town and the needs for the coming
year and report to the entire voting
body its findings and recommendations.
In that way the voters have laid be-
fore them in print an explanation of
the public business, a lucid statement
of the purposes for which money must
be provided and recommendations con-
corning changes or improvements.
Therein is a hint for civic bodies in
places where the town has not such a
committee. No better work can be
done than the work of investigation
and publication. The great majority of
voters in the United States are in the
dark as to what is going on in public
business and do not know how to vote
except as they are told by the politl-
clans. If they could have authoritative
information from time to time they
would take interest and there would
be an Improvement in mum, ipal bust
ness. Then the civic club can extend
its operations to the identifying of the
place, to the Improvement of its trans
portation facilities, to its sanitation, to
the elimination of grade crossings, to
the abatement of the smoke nuisance
and a multitude of other good things
for its town, all of which will profit
the place in hard dollars. The club
may even devote a part of its time and
strength to the selection of good men
for office and the attempt to elect them.

GOVERNOR HASKELL is AGAIN
IN THE LIMELIGHT
Federal Grand Jury to Investigate
MuskOgee Land Frauds -PrOmi-
nent OklahOmians Involved.

Tulsa, Okla, May 10.-In compli-
ance with the orders issued by the
of the United States
a new Federal grand jury met here
today to re-investigate the Muskogee
town lot fraud cases in which the
names of Governor Charles N. Has
kell and a number of other prominent
Oklahomians were recently involved.
Governor Haskell and six others
were indicted at Muskogee last jan
uary, charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud the Federal government and the
Creek Indian nation in connection
with the scheduling of Muskogee
town lots in 1902. The indictments
were quashed here last month by
Judge John A. Marshall, of Utah, be-
cause they were returned by a grand
jury composed of twenty-three men
instead of sixteen, as provided by the
Arkansas law, which was held to be in
force in old Indian Territory by Fed
eral enactment at the time the al
legged frauds were committed.
All of the seven indicted men are
wealthy. Besides Governor Haskell
they are F. B. Sewers, Walter r. Eaton
William T. Hutchins, A. 2. English
Jesse Hill and Clarence w. Turner.

The statue, the work of William
touper, was admired by every one
who saw it. 1t is of Bonacord marble
from Scotland and represents the poet
seated, in an attitude of reverie. In
planning the statue, Mr. Couper's sole
idea was to have everything else SUBJ
ordinated to the head. The lines of
the flowing gown of a college profess
sor, with which the poet is dressed,
are so draped that no matter where
the sight strikes the figure, the glance
diverted upward to the face.
The memorial was erected by the
Longfellow National Memorial Asso-
citation, which was organized seven
years ago with Chief Justice Fuller as
president Former President Grover
