13 ao a Day lav Tim
The planting ef tress by
generation ia to ereet living
ing monamenta which vseetd for thoas
who ahall come after na our apprecia-
tion of nature'a magnificence and .beau-
ty. Then is no mere appropriate leg-
acy to leave to poeterity and these an
no better companiona for our declining
years than thoee living children Of the
forest and roadside, that some timee we
owe their very exietenee to our endeav-
or. Tree culture should be foetered
in our fair land. Their proper diapoaal
will beautify our homee, improve oui
highways and public plaoes.
The earth would be a desert indeed
were it not for the great handiwork ot
nature in dotting it's aurfaoe with
beautiful, atately forest*. What man
or woman doee not cherish a fond re-
membranoe of shady boughs, both shel-
ter and companions, in childhood's hap
py hours?
Where nature's supply is
let man follow her noble
plant living, growing tre*s that will
gather strength and beauty as the age«
roll on, whose waving boughs shall be
caressed by the loyal winds and kissed
by the sunshine of our glorious oom
monwealth for unnumbered cycleo in
the future.
In accordance with legislative enact
ment, I, Thompson B. Ferguson, gov-
ernor of Oklahoma Territory, do pro-
claim Friday, March thirteenth, one
thousand nine hundred and three, as
Arbor Day.
I respectfully reoommend that the
teachers and pupils of our public schools
devote come portion of this day to its
proper observance by the planting oi
trees and shrubs and to hold exercises
appropriate thereto.
In testimony whereof I have hereun
to set my hand and caused the greet
seal of the Territory of Oklahoma to be
affixed, at Guthrie, this twenty-seventh
day of February, one thouaand, nine
hundred and three.

deal between the Rock Island Railway
company and the St. Louia & San Fran
cieeo company in which oontrol of the
latter pesaes to the former there
been brought into exietenee an immense
and powerful system, which completely
ohanges the railroad map of the United
States and by one stroke places the
great Rook Island system among the
first of the transcontinental properties
Rumors which have been current tot
several davs of a change in oontrol of
the Friaoo, as the St. Louis & San Fran
oisoo railroad property is commonly
known orystaliaed in a statement thai
the Rook Island had acquired control,
and that the tranmotion would be
ried out through the banking house ot
J. P. Morgan A Oo. The truth of thii
statement was admitted by one of th«
most important interests in the Frieoo's
management. It was tacitly admitted
by the members of the Rook Island
party in the city and at the offloe of J.
P. Morgan A Co., it was said that no
announcement in the matter oould yet
be made.
The financial plan has been agreed
upon and it ia only a matter of a few
days until offioial announcement. By
the acquisition of this road the Rock
Island now owna and oontrola oombined
14,848 milea, making it one of, if no*
the largeet railroad intereeta in the
world.

medicines, and all things human, Cuticura Remedies appeal with a
force hardly to be realized. Every hope, every expectation awakened
by them has been more than fulfilled. More great cures of Simple,
Scrofulous, and Hereditary Humours are daily msde by them than

often sufficient to cure the most distressing cases when all else fail?
