Our Clean Station

Citizens of this community take
special pride in the appearance OF
their lawns, vacant lots, alleys,
streets, sidewalks, the park, every
thing, in short, that adds to the
happy appearance and wholesome
ness of the city. This is as it should
be. Beautiful natural surroundings
and the purest air of heaven COM
bine to make this a lovely and
healthfu1 place. Such surroundings
induce people to make their civic
conditions harmonic with those in
nature. Hence, the people of this
community, individually, in leagues
and through their city council, are
continually on the alert, to COM
mend, to criticize and to improve in
order to make and to keep the city
beautiful.
1t is gratifying to be able to COM
mend as wholesome and clearly
feature of our city which is neither
under the control of the city nor the
people. This is the local railroad
station. Few cities can boast of so
well-kept and agreeable a station as
we have. Travelling men commend
it, and the citizens speak we'll of it.
For this favorable condition great
credit is due to Mr.. w. S. Davis,
the station agent and his assistants
as we'll as the Northwestern Com
pany which has granted requests
for improvements During the sum-
mer several notable improvements
have been made, the first of which
was the building of the brick and
concrete platform to replace the old
wooden one, and the second the
Frightening up the interior and the
painting of the exterior of the build
ing. We now have as shining a
piece of perfection in the way of a
railroad station as we can reason
ably hope for.

THE CURTISS RECORD
FEW OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF
THE AEROPLANES ENGAGED
FOR STATE FAIR At
FRACTIONS

The efforts of the state Board OF
Agriculture to lead in all things
among western state fairs this year,
led the state attraction committee
to engage two aeroplanes and two
aviators instead of one of each, as
all the western fairs have done. Aft
er a critical investigation, in which
the U. S. war and navy depart
ments were consulted, the board
has contracted with Glenn H. Cur
tiss, the inventor of the aeroplanes
adopted for war and navy service.
We feel that the people of Wis.
consin should know this and other
matters of interest concerning this
and other features of the entertain.
ment programme. The Curtiss
aeroplane was the first aerop1ane tc

Many Trees Dying

ANY one must have noticed the
numerous dead and dying trees in
the city and surrounding country.
Almost every yard where there are
pines or oaks has one or more trees
whose branches are red and scared.
In one yard q row of ten pine trees
that have Withstood the stress of
weather for more than forty years
succumbed TO the heat and dryness
and were cut down. On the Nor
NAL campus one noble pine was cut
down last week. Fully half the
trees in an oak grove on an exposed
knoll near farm house northwest
of town are dead, and nearly every
hillside bearing groves of oak has
here and there patch of flaming
red where a dead tree stands.
These trees are not merely turn
ed' early in the season by immedi-
ate heat or frost, but have been
killed by the drought of 1910 and
the early part of this summer.
1t is a curious fact that these
trees should die so slowly. Though
some died early this summer, yet
many have died within the last few
weeks, or are even turning now.
That they die slowly is due to the
hardness of the trees and to the
fdryness of of the earth several feet
below the surface.
A considerable amount of rain
has fallen in the past six or eight
weeks, but that it has not supplied
the earth with its usual amount of
moisture is evidenced by the com
parative dryness of lowlands and
the lowness of creeks and rivers.
Trees whose roots run deep may,
therefore, continue to die until the
normal amount of moisture has
sunk to their roots. Naples, elms,
and even birches, SO far as we have
observed, have been little affected
by the dryness, fact which attests
to their superior hardness and
adds to their desirability as orna-
mental and shade trees.

If you open bottle of beer or
stronger liquor, or drink any of it
on a railroad train in Wisconsin
(outside of the buffet carr or get
on train in an intoxicated condi-
ton the conductor has the power to
arrest you and turn you over to the
nearest sheriff. This is under a
new law, and the first arrest comes
from Wausau, where two men, on e
for being drunk on a ST. Paul
train were arrested, plead guilty
and on account of it being their
first offense, the tines of SIS each
were RENTED. Those who have
been annoyed by drunken men on
trains should help see that this law
is enforced. Eau Claire Leader.
