MAY EXTEND line
into THE THUMB
SOME PROPHETS THINK ACTlVl-
TIES POINT TO D. v. r.
EXTENSION.
UTICA AND WARREN ACTIVE
Run From Romeo to Detroit May Be
Shortened II Line From Utica
to Washington Is
Built.

Utica, Mich.-What is believed to
foreshadow the extension of the d. u.
r. interurban lines into the Thumb
is the proposition made to the people
of Warren and Utica for the extension
of the Harper avenue-Center-line car
line from Centerline to Utica in return
for the right of way.
Active steps are now being taken
both here and in Warren to secure
the necessary land. Several farmers
have offered to donate their share of
the right of way and others have Of
fered to contribute money to buy out
the obstinate ones. There are no
strings attached to the proposition ex-
cept the right of way, and it is be-
lieved here that strip paralleling the
Michigan Central tracks from Center
line to Utica will be offered the inter
urban company within 80 days.
Although nothing has been said
to that effect, it is generally believed
here that If the line is built to Utica,
1t will eventually be connected with
the Romeo division, whose cars now
reach Detroit over the Flint division,
by way Of Rochester and Royal Oak.
From Utica to Washington, the point
where the Romeo cars swing south
ward toward Orion Junction and Roch-
ester, is about IA miles, and both
Utica and Washington are almost di-
rectly north of the city hall in Detroit.
In other words, by building the con-
Meeting link of IA miles from Utica
to Washington, the d. U. r. could
eliminate the eight or ten mile Jog"
westward to Rochester and Royal Oak
and hut the running time of its Ro-
meo cars by nearly three-quarters of
an hour.

Efforts put forth by the forestry de-
partment of NJ. A. G. toward awaken
ing an interest in reforestation have
led this spring to a wave of tree
planting throughout the state. Orders
for trees placed with the college for
the present planting season indicate
that from 100000 to 100000 trees
will be set out in the state during the
newt few months. These trees will be
planted to serve as windbreaks, and
plantations which will help supply fu-
ture generations with timber.
1t has become apparent also that
public schools in Michigan have be-
come cognizant of the growing need
for reforestation. School authorities,
to the number of score or more a
day, have been writing to M. A. c..
for baby trees to plant on Arbor day.
The college has something like $4,000
such trees for distribution to the
schools. The seedlings are given
away free, the only stipulation being
that the school authorities provide
the college with a diagram of the
school grounds, showing buildings and
spots where it is proposed TO do the
planting on Arbor day.
Professor Sanford, acting head of
the forestry department, has estimat-
ed that more progress in reforesta-
ton was made in Michigan in 1914
than during the 10 years previous.
Up till 1913 there had been only 1870
plantations set out, while in 1914,
210 plantations have been arranged
for.
