We have just finished reading an .excellent article on forestry in the Nebraska Horticulturisi, a little paper devoted Jo the cultivation pf trees, fruit, etc., a furjropy of which was a few days ago who of nished ps by a gentleman Nephi is deeply interested in this subject. From this paper we clip one or two short articles which appear elsewhere in this jssue and may be of interest to those ol pur readers who have an orchard or garden spot; and in the article on forestry are many itjeas and facts that take jus back in fancy to pur school days when (the professor? used Jo tell us so many beautiful things while teaching us physical geography, and which will be of jnuch interest to our readers. We are led to comment upon them. The profuse cultivation of trees is something that should be strongly advocated, undertaken and encouraged in Nephi, for it will not only lend beauty Jto the town but greatly add to it? health. What is more beautiful that streets and sidewalks well lined with magnificent .trees? What is more refreshing and brisk walk or other ext healthy than a ercise in summer, under their grateful .shade? What would be more pleasant than a few hours stroll on Sunday or .other day when time could be spared, jin a beautiful grove or park? But where ;in Nephi is that grove or park? We have (none as yet, but one could be set of .healthy and rapid growing trees and a year or two of good cultivation would make the coveted prize a reality. Fruit trees are all right enough in .their place, we cannot have too many ol them it is profitable to grow them, but it is not also profitable to grow other kinds of trees? Let us see. It is a well .known fact that an increase of in jisture in this dry climate would be a boon, a comfort and health giver to all classes of citizens and a great aid to that fundamental and ever necessary industry agriculture. It will be asked, how is moisture increased by tree planting? In answer we state that trees are the great ' distributers of rain. Now, we will not affirm that trees themselves produce 'rainfall, for that is a mooted question among the scientific men of today, but we will affirm that they produce certain conditions which are absolutely necessary to the general distribution of rain at the proper season, and that they are .Natures great reservoirs for the storage 'of moisture. Did you ever notice that the tallest grass grows on the north side of a timber screen? It does for the simple reason that the trees break ofT the dry south wind, and the moisture is regained. We are informed that the present volume of water in Clear creek, Colorado, is less than half what is was twenty years ago. The old settlers say that the decrease is caused by destroying the forests oh the mountain sides along the stream. "The present vufcun ol water in Our creek Salt Creek is much larger than it was when Nephi was first settled. .This is because tlie cottonwoods, willows and various' shrubs have been allowed to grow larger and increase in numbers along its course and some say that the laying of steel rails up the can-'yo- n has had some effect in increasing the volume. Would it not.be well to protect the trees and shrubbery in the We 'canyon and plant more there? 'think it would redound with wonderful "benefit to the farmers located in this valley. We believe it to be a well known fact that moisture begets moisture. In the Vest the heaviest showers follow streams whose shores are fringed with 'trees. In the south half of McPherson Co., Kansas, there is a small chain of ponds or lakes connected by a stream whose banks ate fringed with timber. During the past two years this section Wsbcn deluged with heavy rains and fine crops' have been raised, while in the north part of the county, where there are no groves or natural timber, the excessive drouths have completely destroyed all crops. The south side could have spared moisture enough to "have saved the crops on the north side of the county. If there had been groves and other conditions producing humidity that it so essentially necessary to the general distribution of rain-fal- l. The'greatest deed preformed by the worlds greatest general, Napoleon Bonaparte,' was that of planting forest trees among the sand hills and plains of Southern France, which changed that (country to one of the most fertile' regions on the globe. Some'twentw years ago Mr. Douglas, of Waukegan, Ills., made up his mind that fie could change the desert-lik- e Sand Du'mes of Lake Michigan into a forest, and one who visits Waukegan can at once fie convinced that the best of success crowns his efforts, for a magnificent;' young forest now crowns the spot where twenty years ago there was nothing but drifting sand. Is it not, then, a good thing to plant trees? Are they not good things to grow? Let our land and property own - The Levan estray poundkeeper is the the county who patronizes 1 he Ensign with his notices and we think it would be well fur all other Doundkeepers in the county to pattern after him in this matter. It is compulsory cn the part of the poundkeepers to advertise unbranded estrays in the county paper and the others must be advertised in a newspaper having general circulation in the county; we are making no claims that cannot be substantiated vyhen we claim tljat more copies of The Ensign are circulated in Juab County than of any other paper published, and that the estray notices, therefore, should be published in its columns. We used to be accosted many times by stockmen who expressed themselves as very desirious of having us publish the estray notices and recently we have had several, not residents of the county, but who have stock on the ranges in the county, plank down, their two dollars for a years subscription to The Ensign and on learning that The Ensign did not publish the estray notices, put the money in their pockets again. This shows plainly that the poundkeepers are laboring under a mistake when they think that owners of slock look in the Salt Lake papeis for the advertisement of any stock they may have lost and that mav have found their way into the estray pound. Then, as we say elsewhere, by advertising estrays in papers published outside of the county, it makes it appear as though there was something crooked going on about the impounding and selling of estrays. only one in We have been frequently interrogated notices do not appear in our columns. We can only answer that the pound keepers prefer to send them to other papers. There is law on this subject and we would therefor call the attention of the precinct pound-keeper- s to section 2222 of an act in relation to the disposal of estray cattle which they may have in their possession. We do this because we have noticed in a number of cases that such animals have been advertised for sale in Salt Lake papers when the ad should have appeared in The Ensign also for the reason that putting an adveitise-men- t of such character in a paper out of the county makes it appear as though there was something crooked about the impounding of such estrays. Then, according to the way the law reads, we do not think that, a sale made on the strength of an advertisement insetted in a paper away from home would be at all binding one way or the other. by stock men as to why estray Tlie community in and around Nephi were called upon last Sunday to mourn the sad loss of a very effi::ent and ever willing public servant and a host of friends both here and in many other parts of the territory, the loss of one most dear in the sad and untimely death of Dr. Emma Atkin. The Doctor had lately been suffering most excruciating pains caused by a derangement of her nervous system brought on by overwork, the ardiuous labors that are necessarily the lot of one proficient as she was in her profession being too much for her to endure without the aid of stimulants. In her weakness and e verwhelming desire to satisfy the public wants that she had prepared herself to administer to, she gave way to the occasional use of narcotics. In an hour of unusual suffering last Saturday night she took an extra heavy dose of morphine that she might rest over night, and gave her servant strict orders that she was not to be disturbed under any condition. The girl saw her take the dose ancj thought it rather large and so expressed herself, but the Doctor assured the girl that she new what she was taking. The servant gill on that became satisfied and both retired for the night. On arising in the morning the girl saw that the Doctor lay In a stupor, began to get nervous and finally spoke to her. No answer came and she at once yan for help. All that was possible under the circuni stances was done for the unfortunate lady and by vigorous treatment and artificial respiration superintended by Doctor Miner, she was kept alive until 3 p. m. Sunday when she died, but she could not, during the whole time, be roused sufficient to be able to speak. Immediately aftef she was pronounced dead the coroner was sent for, a jury impanelled and after examination the following virdict rendered. Territory of Utah, s?

If he were reading the Bible he should be trained for the pulpit, and if he had taken the money his success as a broker, his father thought, was assured.
