Tree" would be an appropriate song
about the capitol park. In spite of

joint resolution to the effect that the
trees in the capitol grounds should
| be left standing the CONSTITUTIONAL
force is proceeding cheerfully in the
| work of cutting out some of the for
| est giants whose welcome shade has
| been given the grateful visitors for
| half century. Gov. McGovern, when
| he found the workmen were busy
| cutting down the trees along the east
| approach to the capitol, called up
| Magnus SwensOn, a member of the
| capitol commission, and entered an
! indignant protest against destroying
| the trees. Mr.. Swenson told him he
! could not do anything, as the plans
| provided for an approach there and
| this made it necessary to remove the
| trees.

| pointed Prof. J. G. Sanders Of the col
lege of agriculture, professor of eco
