TREES KILLED BY GAS.
| Destruction Ascribed to Other Causes
Due to Atmospheric Conditions.

Destruction Ascribed to Other Causes
Due to Atmospheric Conditions.
The death of many trees in the
streets and parks of New York, usual
ly ascribed to poor soil or parasites, is
largely due to atmospheric conditions,
according to the eminent Massachu-
sets botanist. George E. Stone In an
article in the journal of the New York
botanical garden he says that here are
to be found obstacles greater than In
other cities to the successful establish
ment and maintenance of street trees
From the great variety of manufacture
ing establishments surrounding Man
haitian New Jersey is not particularly
mentioneD sulphur dioxide and other
poisons rise, only to fall again upon
our poor trees. The victims malady is
chronic rather than acute. Its vitality
Is weakened, and then the parasite
ends it.
Mr.. Stone declares that with the ex-
ception of the Austrian pine "practi-
cally all the conifers in Central park
are dying from the effects Of atmos-
pheric gases, and it is rarely that one
observes a Norway spruce anywhere
within the vicinity of New York that
is not either dead or in state of de-
terioration." The botanist believes
that it is impractical to continue plant
ing cOnifers in the city
Fins, too, are comparatively easy
victim to gases The effects of the poi
son are visible on Riverside drive and
in Central park. But. as Professor
Stone remarks many of the elms were
deplorable specimens to begin WITH not
such fine tynes as are growing in the
Bronx.
The trees that hest Withstand gas
poison are the Norway maple, black
locust. ailarthus AMI linden

One important Thing that leavenwOrth
Needs

With the opening OF the Snoqualmie
scenic road and the Blewett pass last
year, an enormous amount OF travel was
turned into the Wenatchee valley.
This was only the beginning. This
tourist travel will increase every year,
and the increase this year will be I'M
usually heavy. The Scenic highway
by way of Leavenworth and Everett to
Seattle will be open this year. The
revival in business on the Pacific coast
will bring thousands Of people to this
state. Many Of them will travel by
autos. Our own state people will use
these two routes going from the west
to the east side, and the east to the
west side in largely increasing num-
bers, for one reason that they have the
choice OF two routes, or can go by one
and return by the other. For at least
four months Leavenworth will see from
twenty-five to fifty auto parties passing
ing thru her gates daily, many will
want to stop here over night. Indeed,
there is reason for believing that most
of those west bound will want to stop
over here before tackling the noun
pass.
How is Leavenworth fixed to take
care of a large amount Of tourist travel7
1t has not single stopping place that
can be called a hotel. 1t has an
abundance OF rooming houses but not a
hotel. A good hotel with fifty rooms,
a large lobby and a dining room in
connection. with other tfodern con-
veniences, would pay interest on the
investment. There is splendid op-
portunity here for some one with thirty
or forty thousand dollars and a knowl-
edge Of the hotel business to make
money. 1t is the one thing the town
most needs. 1t is the one opening for
profitable investment and will bear in
vestigation.

boosting1 Why do you not tell him
before he has moral right to kick at
US ranchers about sending away for
goods he must practice what he
breaches. The first bunch I ever got
that money might be saved by sending
away for goods was from Leavenworth
merchant who I saw receiving lot Of
stationery from the east. I thought
then if he could save money by not
patronizing the home printer, and it
was right for him to do so, why could
not I also very properly do the same

The War Crisis

The relations between the United
States and Germany reached critical
stage with the receipt Of the latters
note stating that Germany would
destroy every kind and character Of
belligerant and neutral vessel with.
out warning, even specifying that
hospital ships would not be exempt.
No opportunity would be given crews
to escape nor would any effort be made
to save lives. The evident object is to
terrify the whole world with the
ruthlessness OF her war measure in the
hope that out OF sheer horror neutral
nations would bring pressure to bear on
the warning nations and force them to
consent to such terms as Germany
would dictate. The statement that the
object of Germany is to starve out
England, and the allies, is only
ostensible. That the real object is to
terrify the world is so well understood
that only German sympathisers deny it.

Maurice Mcdonald suspended pub
LEGATION OF the Tenino Journal two weeks
ago because Of lack of support. Mr..
Mcdonald thought it was as easy to
make two newspapers grow in a small
town as the old sage said it was to make
two blades of grass grow where only
one grew before. The Journal was
the second newspaper venture against
the old established News in Tenino.
He would not profit by his predecessors
experience. 1t only requires water to
make grass grow but requires lot Of
hard work and some money to make a
newspaper grow in a small Town, and
much more hard work and more money
to make two grow. -Snohomish Ad-
