Mr.. Sherwood introduced the fol-
lowing bill, which was referred to the
Committee on Invalid Pensions:

The Bonsey and Rifkin concern
has a wide reputation for this kind
of work. AS landscape gardeners
they frequently plan and develop
parks, Fairgrounds, cemeteries, etc.
Appointments can be made by ad-
dressing Miss G. l.. Petersen, Presi-
dent of the Honesdale Improvement
Association, or their home Office in
the Second National Bank, Wilkes
Barre.
This firm is thoroughly unselfish
in their advocacy of a shade tree
commission in Honesdale, for they
are not by a long shot the only es-
tablishment in the country doing this
kind of work.
Furthermore in the opinion of
Mr.. Rlfkin, if Honesdale were to
adopt the Shade Tree Commission
Act, 1T would not obligate them to
lay a special assessment on proper
ty-holders, which feature of the bill
has aroused some local opposition.
To sum IC all up: If you were sick
you wouldn't go to a quack or a
pow WOW doctor, so why, dear
reader, when your trees are in an
unhealthy condition, should you
engage any "saw-and-hammer Jack
of ali trades" to butcher them for
you?

new to him, the reporter strolled
out to Irving Boulevard, to get 10.
cal color for his story. Two places
at which work had been done at
tracted his attention.
The first one was the naples iT
front of the home of Mrs. w. w
Weston at 1909 Main street, which
had been carefully gone over by the
crew of experienced men sent out
by this enterprising Wilkes-Barre
firm. 1t was wonderful transfor
nation they had wrought. Symme
try had been restored to unsightly
and reformed trees. Cavities haC
been filled, and treated in such {
manner as to leave hardly any visi
BILE trace of their existence. Beauty
had been added to this garden spot
of Honesdale, the natural attractive.
ness of the adjoining Riverside
Park enhanced, and withal the
value of the property considerably
increased.
By and by he came to Mr.. Holmes
residence, at 1888 Main street
There he found the men hard at
work. Hard at work is right, for
the five naples, which were being
treated at this spot, had reached
the allotted four score years.
Mrs. Holmes Pleased.
There he spoke with Mrs. Holmes,
who along with Miss Mary Weston,
and Mrs. r. B. Torrey, is a patroness
of the movement. She expressed her
pleasure with the work, and was
especially delighted to think that the
lives of the dear old naples would
be prolonged for another generation
as a result of their professional
treatment

skill, who before coming to this
country was associated with the
Kew Gardens in England, and who
studied under Doctor T. II. Mawson,
the latter a tree expert and land
scape architect, who lectures at the
Liverpool University on "arboricul-
ture," obligingly came down the lad
der, and talked to the newspaper
man, explaining to him the different
stages in the work.
The corner tree in particular was
in bad shape. All the decayed por-
tions were Clipped out until the
septic solutions were applied. Three
upright bars were then placed in the
centre, a frame work put over it,
reinforced with cement, and covered
with manganese, leaving a barely
perceptible scar. In about three
years he said, the bark would grow
over, and no one would know that
an operation had ever been perform
ed on the tree.
He was enthusiastic, naturally,
about the good work being done
elsewhere by his firm, who are ad-
visors to the Street and Sewer De-
partment of the city of Wilmington,
Del, which has entire charge of the
streets in that city. The concern
by which he is employed is treating

NOMINATING CONVENTION.
Delegates to the National Convention
to be Named at Lewiston, May Is.

The Republican state convention to
elect delegates to the national Repub-
lican convention which will name the
partys presidential nominee, will be
held at Lewiston May 16. This date
was definitely decided upon yesterday
prior to the departure of State Chair
man G. L. Heitman for Spirit Lake, fol-
lowing conference he held here with
Secretary Davis, who is in charge of
Republican state headquarters in
Boise. The county organizations will
proceed with the election of delegates
to the Lewiston convention on the
plans to be mapped out by the respec-
tive county central committees into
whose hands this matter was placed
by the state central committee at it's
last meeting here. In majority of
the counties the direct primary plan
will be followed, thereby giving to the
members Of the party the right to
show their presidential preference in
the election of delegates to the state
convention.
The table showing the apportion-
ment of delegates to the Lewiston
convention and decided upon yester-
day will bring together 316 representa-
tive Republicans from all parts of the
state, whose duty it will be to select
eight delegates to the national con-
vention in Chicago, June IS. This ta-

CASH PRICE
Meyer & Company Changes firm

WELL KNOWN BUSINESS HOUSE
WILL BE JENKINS & COMPANY,
After January First Prices Will
Be Made on Cash Basis
Solely. ......

The firm of Meyer e Company will
cease to exist after January first,
while the business will be carried on
without cessation under the corpora
ton name of Jenkins & Company The
change is due to the fact that old
name of Meyer & Company did not rep
resent the same men owing to the
withdrawal of Joe Meyer from the
firm some time ago, when Mr.. E. J..
Jenkins purchased J. L. Daube's hold
ings. A short time ago G. G. Jenkins
and Mr.. S. e. Brookover joined
the firm, taking over stock own
ed by Meyer, so that at present
the members of the firm are Robert
Rogerson, e. j. Jenkins, G.. G. Jenkins
and S. E. Brookover, and it is these
men who will conduct the business
of jenkins e. Company The officers
of the company are Robert Rogerson,
president; Glenn G.. jenkins, vice pres
ident; S. e. Brookover, secretary, and
E. j. Jenkins, treasurer.
The big mercantile establishment
will, with the change of name,
make a radical change in the
methods of business and will, after
January first, do strictly cash busi-
ness, with all it's customers. No ex-
ception will be made to this rule. With
the going on the cash basis the firm
are preparing to make cash prices
which will materially reduce the cost
of living. In fact Mr.. jenkins ex-
poets to create quite a sensation in
the matter of price giving and will
endeavor to make up for the smaller
profits with larger sales.

LANDS FOR BETS PLEDGED
Burley Alive With Enthusiasm at Re-
suit of Getting Sugar Factory.

Burley, Idaho, Dec. 16.-Today has
had one of the greatest aWakenlngs
thus far in its history. At meeting
at the Burley opera house this after
noon at o'clock nearly one thousand
people were assembled for the purpose
of definitely determining whether the
farmers of this community would
raise enough sugar beets to assure the
building of beet sugar factory at
this place.
Committees reported that 4,900 acres
of the 5000 acres necessary had been
promised. Chairman e. j. Hunter
called for more promises and as re-
suit over 900 more acres were prom
ised, making total of over $500 acres
assured.
While no representative of the
Amalgamated Beet Sugar company
was present, it was stated by those
who are in position to know that
this action means the big sugar fac
tory for southern Idaho will be built
here. The Burley Townsite company
has offered as an additional induce
ment 80 acres of land which is part of
the townsite, for the buildings.
Tonight there is great enthusiasm
and a magnificent bonfire was built at
one of the main corners. This means
for Burley that she will be one of the
best towns in the state.
The grand Burley demonstration
train that is touring the state rolled
into the city and hundreds of people
visited the train and were highly
pleased with what they saw there
At 500 p. m. the opera house was fill
ed to it's capacity to hear the speeches
made by the members of the demon
stration corps. The talks were to the
point and well received. The farmers
will be much benefited by this visi
and from the good advice given alons
the different lines of agriculture ant
stock raising--Capital News.

Settlers Of South Side Tract
Urged to Attend.
MEETING CALLED TO DISCUSS
CANAL COMPANY.
Efforts VIII Be Made to Interest
Farmers in Annual Meeting in
January.

. All of the land owners on the ORR
ginal South Side Twin Falls tract are
invited to attend a mass meeting which
will be held in the Union hall, Twin
Falls, next Saturday, December 80.
The meeting is called primarily to
discuss matters of interest to the land
owners and also to attempt to interest
the stockholders in the Twin Falls
Canal company in the affairs of the
company.
For some time it has been impossi-
BILE to get majority of the stockhold-
ers out to the meeting called by the
Canal company, the election last jan
uary going by default owing to lack of
attention given the matter by the
ranchers. The same is true of the
bond election called in October of this
year to vote on the question of i'm
provement bonds for the system at
which time not majority of the stock
was voted
The attempt will be made to interest
the ranchers in the approaching Canal
company election called for January
9th. 1912, at which time board of di-
rectors will have to be voted.
