Watered {n the postofice at Bemidil. Minn., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM OUR IDEA, EXACTLY. The Itasca County Independent (published at Grand Rapids) says of the recent merging of the Pioneer and the Record and the purchase of the News plant: “The Bemidji Pioneer, the old standby, and the Bemidji Record, the new paper established some time ago, have been consolidated, and the plant, subscription list, etc., of the News of Bemidji have been purchased by the new concern. This gives the Pioneer the best printing plant, and one of the best news- paper fields in this section, and the move is one of the best which could have been made for the Pio- neer and for Bemidji. “The policy outlined will be a broad one for the benefit of Be- midji and all concerned, and in an editorial on the subject, the Pio- neer says, ‘Now, let’s all get to- gether; drop yoor imaginary griev- ances, and assist the Pioneer and the Bemidji Sentinel in making Be- midji the best little city in Minne- sota.” ”’ Although the Sentinel has this week taken no cognizance of the action of the Pioneer and our declaration of united “boosting” for Bemidji, the Pioneer, on iis part, will go ahead as we have announced, and we hope the Sen- tinel people will see that indeed “in unison there is strength.” “DYNAMITE BILL” KILLED. The senate judiciary committee has killed the house bill, appropriat- ing $15,000 as a relvolving fund, to be used in buying dynamite to be sold at cost to settlers on cut-over lands, kolding to be unconstitutional. This is the “dynamite” bill, for the inception of which Charles S. Carter of Hines received much favor- able comment. The original bill, as proposed in the house by Repre- sentative Opsahl, was ‘‘rehashed” by several people, including State Auditor Iverson, it being claimed that the new bill would ‘“‘pass mus- ter.” For some time past, in fact ever since the bill was passed by the house, there have been rumors to the effect that the powder companies were laboring to defeat the bill; and the action of the senate judiciary committee may be but the bearing out of that rumor. ALL ON BOARD ARE WELL Steamer Admiral, With Roosevelt Party, at Aden, Arabia. Aden, Arabia, April 1'.—The steam- er Admiral, with the former president of the United States, Theodore Roose- velt, and the members of his party on board, came into this port for a short stay. All on board are well. The run down the Red sea from Suez was fairly cool, but during the last two days the weather was hot, with a brilliant sun and a smooth sea. Frederick C. Selous, the well known author and big game hunter, has ac- companied the Roosevelt party from Naples. Mr. Roosevelt has spent sev- eral hours every day listening to reclitals of his experiences on his Af- rican hunting trip. Mr. Selous has been invited by Mr. Roosevelt to join the party for a two weeks’ shoot and he probably will accept. [ SOME WHOLESOME ADVIGE ON HOW TO PLANT TREES R. H. Pendergaét of Grand Rapids] Gives Some Expert Opinions on Spring Tree Planting. [BY R. H. PENDERGAST.] It will soon be time to set out trees and shrubs and I will write a few words that may be a help to some. First—Do not try to do anything until the frost is out, and the ground well warmed up. Then nature is ready to do her part in making your efforts successful. Second—Do not dig deep in clay soil, tor the surface water will settle in the hole, and as the roots reach down to it they rot, and in a few years you see your trees are not doing well, and wonder what is the matter with them. The depth of the hole should be, for small trees and shrubs, 14 to 16 inches; for larger trees 18 to 24 in- ches. The clay taken out in dig- ging the hole should not be used in setting the _tree or bush. Good sandy loam with some black earth mixed in makes a good soil. Small trees and shrubs should be set deep enough so as to have three to four holes inches of earth over the upper roots ; large roots should have from six te eight inches over setting, all trees and shrubs Before should be root-pruned. That is, the ends of the roots should be cut back till you come to green bark; a sloping cut from the under side upward, is the best: then the fine hair roots have no trouble in starting out’ all around the end of the root. Put a little good soil in the bottom of the whole, set your tree in; have it held upright while you spread out the lower layer of roots and fill in as before, being careful to pack it 1n firmly around the roots with your hands; and so proceed till they are all covered; then fill the hole with good soil. Hold the trees straight with one hand and tread the earth down firmly, beginning at the outside of the hole; then a little more earth, leavirg it loose and dishing from outside, so that water will run to the tree, then a mulching of stable manure, eight to ten inches, reaching as far as outside the hole; and so mulched, once a week is often enough to wet the tree, When trees are dug a large share of their roots are left in the ground, and if when reset, all of their tops are left on the cut roots are not able to furnish sap enough to make a healthy growth, and the tree is more likely to die when the hot weather comes. Small trees and shrubs should have all the branches cut back, at them. {least one-half; large trees more than that, I_wish also, to urge all who have large trees to examine and see if the guards, put on when they were small, are not hurting them now. I have noticed a good many where the wire or slats have cut into the bark so as to injure them a good deal, and if not changed will ruin them. Do not remove, but make the guards larger.
