Navy Auxiliary, separated and formed
the organization which still exists. 1t

the United States in the local area.

cum, widow of the colonel of the 9th
Infantry who was mortally wounded
while leading his regiment against
Pekin during the Boxer uprising.
Mrs. Joseph K. Taussig, wife of Rear
Admiral Taussig, assistant chief of
operations of the Navy, is president of
the league. She has appointed Mrs.
Upton Birnie, jr., wife of Maj Gen.

REIMBURSEMENT
Of Funds Made
By U.S. Bureau
Money to be Expended
During Fiscal Year
Ending July l

Washington-Under a readjust-
ment of funds for highways, roads
and gradecrossings made by the bu-
reau Of public roads North Carolina
has to her credit the sum of 49,
417,975 from all sources to be ex-
pended during the present fiscal year
ending July 1, while South Caro-
lima has $5,S24,7S5, the total for
the Carolinas being $14,242,75o.
With the opening of spring, the
bureau has gone over the entire sit
uation as to road funds with the
hope that work may be rushed, and
as many men be put to work in the
two States as possible not only to
relieve the unemployment situation
but to get the program started that
new work that has been mapped
may be completed on time.
Or checking over reports that
have been received it would ap-
pear that North Carolina is tagging
somewhat in the grade crossing
program, one of the features in
which the President is especially
interested, since of the $4,S23,95S
given the State, there remains about
$3,6o7,304 to be spent through
projects having been approved for
construction and are now under
way which will cost a million dol
lars. In South Carolina, to which
s3,O59,S56 was allotted for grade
crossing elimination, there remains
on hand $1,997,646 with over a
million dollars in projects approved
and under way.
Funds that have been eaten into
rapidly to relieve employment and
which are looked upon with favor
in Washington were the $780,
PA appropriated under the works
relief funds of 1888 and 1884 of
which there remains to be given the
State $399,12S with the remainder
of the huge sum already spent or
allotted to projects under construc-
ton. In South Carolina the total
was II and a half million dollars
and a half million remains to the
credit Of the State, with money be-
ing spent as rapidly as possible to
put idle men to work.
From the Federal aid funds North
Carolina is given $2,2S5,337 to be
matched by the State, while the
sum that South Carolina will re-
ceive for the remainder of the
fiscal year is $1,667,503 as soon as
the. present highway row has been
adjusted and the bureau of public
roads is certain to whom it may
release funds for expenditures.
The sum of $2,450,326 is now
placed to the credit of the State

Uncle Sam Fast Becoming
the Greatest Tree Planter

Tree planting in this country Isl
looking up, according to the United
States forest service. In 1885 the
forest services own planting on ma
tional forest lands was very close
to a quarter million acres, more
than that planted by all agencies
federal, state, and private-in 1884
when the total was 2O6,333 acres.
Many of the other agencies planted
substantially greater acreages in
1886 than the year before.
Uncle Sam, although relatively
new at it, is becoming the worlds
leading tree planter. Up to last year
his grand total of paintings by all
agencies amounted to only 2,394,397
acres, equal to about half the area OF
Massachusetts. This years paintings
in the national forests alone will in
crease the total by more than 10 per
cent. There are more than 100000
600 acres in our national forests
alone. and the estimated total forest
acreage in this country is over 5OO,'
100000 acres.
