Battle Section Is Morthy Souvenir
North Americans Gettysburg Supple
ment Fitting Memorial of
Celebration,

The editor Of this newspaper has been
asked to look over the special Gettysburg
Semicentennial Section of the Sunday
North American for June go. The sec
ton ia appearance and contents bears out
all statements that have been or can be
made in its favor. and the Gettysburg
section will be priced and preserved in
every patriotic household.
The North American has devoted little
of fits space to the retelling of the story
that great historians have told SO well,
but has undertaken to tell the human in
tercsts incidents of the great fight in a
very human way. 1t has discovered new
and retold old personal stories of Gettys-
burg in such a way that veteran warriors
and the later generation of Americans
will enjoy them.
Perhaps the biggest and best single fea-
ture of the section is entitled "A Guides
Story Of Gettysburg. (" in which one of the
battlefield guides, active today. recites
the story of the fight as he tells it to visi-
tors. A story of the drummer boys is
thrilling and compelling of admiration
for youthful valor, General David McMur-
trie Gregg, leader of the mounted soldiers
in the battle signs the article. "The Cav
airy at Gettysburg" Over fifty photo
graphs and great number Of drawings
serve to emphasize the articlee featured.
Enterprise worthy of The North Ameri-
can is shown in devoting eight pages to
this special section. for not line of ad-
vertising appears in it. 1t is patriotic
souvenir of great historic event,

Blight Killed Chestnut Can 81
Used.

The inroads of the chestnut bark dis.
ease, or chestnut blight, on the chestnut
trees of New England and the Middle
Atlantic States is resulting in the death Of
"a great deal Of chestnut timber. Officials
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
recommend. to prevent the spread of the
disease. that shipments of chestnut tim
Der should include only material from
which the bark has been removed and
from which the diseased spots nave been
cut out.
In the region affected there is good
market for all chestnut products except
cordwood The demand for poles and
ties absords all that are offered. and lumb-
er finds ready sale 10 local markets.
Cordwood, however. is often drug ex-
cept within shipping distance of tanning
extract plants. brass foundries. lime kilns.
brick yards. and charcoal plants.
The question has arisen as to whether
the disease-killed timber is less valuable
than that from green trees. Strength
tests made by the Forest Service indicate
that sound wood from chestnut killed by
the bark disease is as strong as that from
green timber.
The bark disease kills the tree by girdl-
ing the trunk. and does not cause un-
sound or decaycd wood, which is the re-
suit of attrack by fungi or insects. Until
two years after the death of the tree the
wood generally remains sound. through
at the end Of that time insects have COM
menced working in the sapwood. Three
years after death the sapwood is honey
combed with insect burrows in four years
it has decayed. and begins TO dry and
peel off in the fifth year. After this the
heartwood checks badly. To avoid loss.
therefore. all timber should be used with
in two years after being killed.
All recent meeting in Trenton. N. j.,
foresters were present from most of the
States in which the chestnut bark dis
ease is prevalent. Connecticut. New
Jersey. New York. Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia. West Virginia. North Carolina,
and the Forest Service and the Bureau OF
Plant Industry were represented. Rep
resentatives of the States approved the in
vestigations undertaken by the Forest
Service. and recommended that the indi-
vidual States give particular attention to
the development of local markets for
stands of blight killed chestnut. Owners
of such timber should apply to the State
foresters or 10 the Forest Service for fur
ther Information upon the uses and
markets for chestnut.

Caution.

The use of fireworks is very dangerous
to persons and property. and extreme care
is urged when this form of amusement is
indulged in. Sky Rockets and roman
candles should not be discharged where
there are buildings. owing to the danger
of FIRE. Unless every precaution is taken
there may result great loss of property
and injury to persons which neither re-
nose nor medical service can repair.

a Reproach To Manhood.

Editors Of Mid1aNd ./oHyMGI.-I will
thank you for sufficient space in your
paper to publish these few lines, that
may publicly call attention to and enter
my protest. as citizen of our town,
against the deplorable and disgusting
practice INDUCED in. by many of our boys
and men. that of congregating 10 public
places. in the evenings. and treating our
otherwise quiet and enjoyable town, to
the most comprehensive lessons in vul.
earity and profanity.
1t is with shame, and great reluctances
that / confess these conditions to those
who have better opinion of us, and pos
sessing degree of charity toward all,
even thes evil doer, personally, am
loath to cast the slightest reflection upon
the character of any one. and shall not do
so. excepting those of the offenders. in a
general way. 1t is reproach to our
manhood and disgrace to our town, that
our wives and children cannot enjoy the
cool evening breezes, on our porches,
without having their ears bombarded
with oaths that would shock the heather.
Our duty to our families, and our sense
of decency, aside from our debt to the
public welfare. demands that we abate
this nuisance.
Let the merchants of our town cooper
ate in prohibiting profanity on their pre-
misses. and let US, as self-respecting and
law-abiding citizens, stand with them. to
teach offenders that gentlemen will notl
and others shall not. degrade our COM
munity. unmolested. ! write this with the
sole object of making our little town q
better place to live. Very truly yours.

of many people who delight in a
climate within which they are
pleased to live. Take it as a
whole, no more delightful place
to live can be found in any of the
states, taking one season with
another. No extremes of. heat
or cold mar the pleasure of liv-
ing on the Flathead, and every
year will witness the advent of
more people who realize and ap-
preciate this fact. At the pres
ent time, isolated from railroad
transportation, many people hes
itate to settle here, but with the
coming of a railroad, with the
easy way Of getting in and out,
will come the people who will
bring the money to buy the land
and build handsome homes that
they may live in comfort and
plenty.
To those who first came here
and homesteaded the land, and
who are able to hold on, we say
stick to it. The road may seem
hard and stony but a few years
more and the rough places will
have been smoothed over and the
wheels will not jar as they do
now in travelling the road of life.
1t is such hardy people as you
who pave the way for those who
come later, and who gather the

duces. Hs ~.

HISTORY REPEATING

Inquiries for Mission valley
lands have been quite frequent
of late and indicates what can
be expected as soon as the
weather man gives us a little
more sunshine and warm wealth
e.. Those who are making the
inquiries appear to be men of
means, really and willing to pur-
chase the land they seek to i'm
prove, and this recalls the fact
that the reservation will be no
exception to the rule which has
prevailed in all new countries.
The first settlers are generally
not the ones who stay with the
land and who eventually reap the
reward of fertile lands. Gener-
ally they are of insufficient funds
and must let loose before the
time has arrived when their
holdings are valuable. They at
tempt more than is possible for
them to consumate and the re-
suit is they become involved in
debts which must be paid and
with the first opportunity they
sell and the land passes into the
hands Of people with a little
more money than they had, and
the work Of improvement is
again prosecuted vigorously.
This class of settlers also, as a
rule, are unable to keep the pace
and they, too, succumb to the
lure Of a little easy money and
sell out to men more able tinan-
cially to own lands rapidly in
creasing in value. Thus it takes
about three changing of hands
before the land is finally owned
by men who can make it into
beautiful homes and profitable
farms.
This section of the country is
now going through the first
stage of the transformation.
Many of the first settlers are
selling their land and are remov-
ing to other scenes of activity.
Those who are buying at present
have means with which to fur
Their improve and in many in
stances will stick until the profit
to them will be commensurate
with the amount invested. Many
will hold on for good, and some
will not be able to do so.
There can be no question about
the future of this country. 1t
will speedily become the home
