THE EUROPEAN LARCH A
VALUABLE TREE FOR IDAHO


VALUABLE TREE FOR IDAHO
1t is well known that many trees
fail to attain their greatest develop
ment in their native hauIts; some
even doing better after having been
transferred across the ocean, or thou
sands of miles from where they are
native. II one would study the east
ern white pine in its highest state
Of perfection he must 60 to Germany
where he will find also other Ameri-
can trees doing better than they will
do on this side Of the Atlantic. Each
species Is so exacting that even slight
differences in moisture, soil, elevat-
ion, temperature, ETC., will be re-
corded in its response to them, and,
thus we come to recognize that each
!, locality possesses factories peculiar
ly adapted to certain species.
It is not easy to determine at once
just what species should be grown
in any particular locality. A know
ledge of the general requirements of
any species is necessary in planting
that species, but no amount of know
ledge and experience gained from
study, or planting elsewhere, can
fully take the place of test by act
ually planting the species and OBJ
serving results in the locality to be
considered: With this end in view
more than 100 different species of
trees were planted some tdo years
ago in the Forestry Arboretum at
the University of Idaho. AmOns
these species was included the Eur
ope larch.
The seedlings were at that time but
two years old and were not large
nor very thrifty. During the first
summer which was unusually hot and
dry, these trees made good grow
tn but did not attract particular at
tention. They appeared to be sub
ject to injury by the wind and spread
out in flat mat-like fashion grow
ing away from the prevailing wind In
manner quite distressing to one
who expected growth in an upward
direction. On the whole they gain
ed very little in height and at the
end of the season had more the ap-
pearance of becoming sprawling
shrubs than of developing into state
1y trees. During the second yeal
however, the young larches were en-
tirely needless of the wind and did
not hesitate to pvsh upward, even In
the most exposed hillside, at most
astonishing rate At the close of the
season they had made more thar
thrice the growth of any American
evergreen in the aborretuin and are
now starting out even more vlgor
ously in their third seasons growth
Theypossess in addition reatvigor In
this climate. also rare beauty and are
perfectly hardy. 1t is thus seen thai
in this species we have an exotic
from peculiarly well advanced to the
northern part of the state and one
that will grow into value for wind
breaks, shade wood lot or fores'
trees more quickly than any ever
green found native.
The table below shows what thi'
species has done in four years, only
two of which it grew in Idaho soil
Total height, IS inches.
Last years growth, 81 inches.
Diameter, 1 inch.
Spread of branches, SO inches.

AMATEURS PRESENT
GOUNOD'S FAUST
UNDER DIFFICULTIES
Financial Trouble Delays for
Time Going Up of the
Curtain.

For an hour or two yesterday after
noon 1t looked as though the much her
aided grand opera production Of Gou-
mods Faust" under the direction of
II. DeCortez Wolffungen, for which al
most one hundred Washington anna
teurs have been rehearsing for two
months, would not materialize, but after
a long wait the curtain went up on the
frst act, and those who had waited
were amply repaid for their patience.
Owing to the delay entailed by troubles
scene. the third act was omitted. At
the end of the first scene Of the first
act, after considerable delay, an an
nouncement was MADE to the effect that
one of the principals had tainted, but
would. soon be able TO continue the per-
formance.
The role Of Faust as sung by Alfred
D. Shaw, the English tenor, was of lyric
beauty, rather than any wonderful dis
play of dramatic art.
Henri Scott of the Chicago Grand
Opera Company was a perfect Mephis-
topheles, and gave a virile interpreta.
tion of his role. His admirable stage
presence and strong personality had

DOWNPOUR FAILS
TO DAMPEN ARDOR
OF CIRCUS CROWD
Enthusiastic Throngs at Big
Tent, Despite Gloomy
Outlook.

II takes something more than a heavy
downfall of rain to dampen the ardor
of Washington circus going crowd, as
was exemplified last night, when thous-.
ands of Washingtonians trudged to the
show ground at Fifteenth and II streets
northeast, to view the Barnum & Bailey
greatest show on earth"
Today's threatening storm clouds
neither have had any effect on the en-
thusiasm of those unable to get to the
circus lat night. On this, the closing
day Of the circus stay In Washington,
even larger crowds than attended on
the opening day promise to be in at
tendance.
Minus those dangerous feats which cir
suses few years ago thought were
| necessary to attract large crowds, the
Barnum e. Bailey circus this year is
| somewhat different than in former
times. The loop-the-loop artists and the
acrobats, who were shot out of a can
non to a trapeze over the middle ring,
are missing. In their stead, however,
! is the big spectacular pageant, &C co
production ever undertaken under can
vas. Three hundred singing and dane
| ing girls, most of them gathered In
| various parts of Egypt, assist in this
production. More than I 500 persons and
| hundreds of horses, camels, elephants,
and the like, go toward making this
| the feature Of the circus.
The clowns are there this year In a
larger number than formerly. The old
| Washington favorite, Harry La Pearl
| who recently was married while in his
| clown suit when the show was In Madi-
son Square Garden, Is the leader of the
| funny mems brigade. He Is assisted
| by half a hundred others.
The rain Of the night has not affected
| todays per rformance. Tanbark by cal
| loads has been scattered over the can
| vas-covered area, and the circus man
! agement says the rain has not incon
venlenced the audiences of the after
| noon.
There will be two performances to-

MAJESTIC

Electrical, one of the electrical mar
vels of vaudeville. is the headline at
traction at the Majestic Theater this
week. This young woman withstands,
without apparent effort. high voltage
that would kill the ordinary man or
woman. She lights an incandescent
lamp by simply holding 1t in her fingers;
runs an electric automobile by contact;
lights the gas with her tongue: ex-
plodes dynamite by toGchng a wire
connecting the cartridge, and sits In
an electric chair and takes the full volt
age required to execute a man, with
out the least semblance of discomfort.
y Another feature OF the bill is the
Musical Saters, who display marvellous
technique on many instruments. Ru-
dolphy and Fraulein Alsa Daree offer
a novelty, entitled IAN Episode in a
japanese Tea House." wherein Ru-
doiphy does some mystifying feats of
strength, lifting the entire tea house,
containing six people, with ease. Frau
lein Daree sings seevral songs in a
pleasing voice. Another attractive
feature OF the bill Is the act OF Zennill
and Retter, who have a lively comedy
sketch called Two Hundred and Sew
enty Miles From New York" which is
full Of merry complications. The Inter-
national Quartet and new photo plays
round out an excellent bill

Though the play has been seen
here many times before, Il was received
with enthusiasm last night, and the
large audience, which almost filled the
