ing to try the Western larch also. The
request from the German nurseryman
instructs the collectors to gather the
choicest seeds when ripe this fall. One
nurseryman on F1athead Lake has Of
fered to exchange larch seeds for
seeds of desirable German shrubs,
which he intends to cultivate and sell
in America. In the same region, four
or five months ago, foresters of our

cred seed for use in the neighboring
Lolo Forest, where a new forest plant

The objects of the Guelph planting
are, according to local accounts, to
protect the towns water source by a
forest cover over it's springs in the
hills. to make a beautiful woods for a

are often owned and managed by
towns and cities as paying invest

in America planting by municipalities

thought of. The kinds Of trees to be
grown in the Guelph park have al

AN IRRIGATION DAM
Which Can Be Safely Re.
moved in Case of High
Water.
INVENTION OF A MEXICAN

San Antonio, Texas, March 3.-An ir-
rigatior dam that will prove of great
benefit in rivers subject to sudden
floods has been invented by FREDERICK
Wulff, Mexican engineer of Torreon,
and will be used in dam he is con-
structing for the firm of William Pur-
cell & Co.. on the Nazas river. The
dam consists of solid foundation Of
concrete and two steel cylinders, in
this case, 100 feet long and eight feet
in diameter. Behind these the water
will be backed up to a level where it
will enter the irrigation bitches. The
steel cylinders are anchored on the
banks and in the middle of the river
bed, anG by means of jack-chains and a
winch, can be rolled out of the way in
case of high water. The same arrange
ment Will govern the size of the orifice
the steel cylinders rovide for a spill
way as their ends converge on each
other.
! The opinion of experts who have
| seen similar dam in operation is that
it is an unqualified success in rivers
where sudden floods have to be taken
/ into consideration. Instead of mum
dating the fields which the river under
normal conditions irrigates, the sur.
plus of water will de disposed of by
rolling the steel cylinders out of the
way entirely.
The cam now in the course of con.
struction is on the Nazas river in the
San Pedro cotton district. 1t will cost
about 100000 and when ready will
store up water enough to take care of

The enterprise of German foresters
and the importance Of tree planting
for forest purposes are strlklngly
shown by two items of news which

er from Ontario 1t is reported that a
demand has developed for Montana
larch seeds to be used by German
nurserymen, while white pine seed
lings are to be imported from Ger
many by the town of Guelph, Ont, for
planting a 16S-acre tract of land be-
longing to the municipality.
The Germans recognize that the in
PRODUCTION into their forests of valua-
BILE trees native to other countries
may be decidedly to their advantage.
Although as a rule the forest trees
best adapted to each region are those
which naturally grow in it, there are
many exceptions. Norway spruce and
Austrian and Scotch pine have been
carried from their native home to 9th
er parts of Europe and to America and
have been found well worth the atten-
ton of the grower of timber. Several
of our own species have met with
favor in Europe and flourished there.

and others. The Australian eucalyp-
tus is proving great find for Ameri

Our own white pine long ago
crossed the Atlantic in response to the
needs of Europeans, whose forests are
comparatively poor in tree species
and is now grown commercially on
such scale that when it is wanted
for planting in it's own native habitat

to deliver young plants here for a

NO CHANGE IN MAPLE MILL
Important Changes i'm the Admins
tration OF Two Of DilIon's
Largest Enterprises.

Announcement was made Friday
that Mr. w. T. Bethea had. been
elected president of the Dillon and
Hamer Cotton Mills. The change
in the management of the mill was
made at the meeting of the direc-
tors Thursday. Mr.. w. NJ. Hamer,
who has been president of the two
mills for several years voluntarily
retires from the active management,
but will retain. his holdings in the
two institutions.
The change in the presidency of
the mill is one of the most import
ant business changes that has taken
place in Dillon in many years. EN-
cept for a few months shortly after
its establishment Mr.. Hamer has
been president of the Dillon Mill.
Shortly after the establish meut OF
the Dillon Mill he organized the
Maple Mills. of which he became
tn. president and later Ne was
elected president OF tho Hamer Coz

years Mr.. Bethea was. depot agent
at Dillon and when he voluntarily
retired from the position to take
the position of the cashier OF the
Bank of Dillon he was given up by
tho railroad company with rrluct-
ance. Had he remained i'm the rail
road circles his rise would hav,
been rapid as it has been in finan-
cial circles.
The Bank of Dillon, one of the
largest institutions of the kind in
eastern Carolina, has prospcred
gleatly under his management. and
1T is a source of pleasure to his
many friends to know that he will
still retain the active management
of the bank.
