We im to tb dim future (tod sot
90 very dim, alt i«r) a bard tight corn-
log ou in Wood county over tbe di-
vision of tbal eounty, locating of
eouoty lints an oounty uau. Wood*
county to too li go and will tome day
have to ba dlv led. Tbe building of
the Orient ralrosd through that
county and tie building of town*
along it* line will have considerable
bearing on tbg settlement of thin
question. Auguste will wnnt tbe
county boundallee to remain as at
present and tlat town made tbe
eounty aeat, while Alva would be
only too willing to content to ao fait
and west division with Alva aa tbe
conntv aeat of the west county, wbleb
It tbinka it could hold. Cherokee ipd
Cleo'would urge n north and south
dl vision of tbe cut half of tbe county,
with tbe former as tbe county aeat of
tbe northeaat eounty and Cleo tba
county aeat of the aontbeaat county.
At best a great wrangle la pretty apt
to come and io which avary town of
any prominence in Woode county will
be more or leaa tangled up. Toen
outsider the proper dlviilon would et
present be to make two counties, one
on the oortb end one on tbe south,
and as the country developed and it
became necessary add about two tiers
of townships on tbe weat by talcing
them from Woodward county, and
then divide tbe two counties into
four by drawing a aortb and aoutb
division line. This would give Byron
or Cherokee tbe eouoty seat for tbe
northeast county, Cleo tbe county
seat of the southeast, Alva tbe north-
west and some convenient point for
county seat of tbe southwest county
Sucb changes may never be brought
about, but in our opinion tbe best
results eonld be obtalsed only in tbis
way. However, we are at a safe dis-
tance from tbe eceno of approaching
conflict, and having “troubles of our
own” to manage will not worry greatly
abont the cares of our neighbors.
There is one feature about Man-
chester tbst make* it a much better
point for buslneia men seeking loca-
tions than any of tbe boom towns
along tbe Orient or other new linn
of railroad In Oklahoma, and that Is
tbe stability that la behind tbis
town. Manchester has never bad
bad a boom (don’t want one) but has
grown slowly and substantially al-
most from tbe dqy of tbe Strip open-
ing nearly eight years ago. When a
business man locates in Manchester
he knows exactly where be it "at”;
that he bas an; excellent point for
trade and business, and that tbe town
will never go back on bim. It is not
so when a man rushes into a new
boom town to sell goods, for such
towns are invariably overdone and
many people who were at first axioui
to get Into them are In a abort time
only too anxioiffi to get out. Man-
chester Is permanent, with a perma-
nent territory to support it, and tbe
new railroads that are nnder con-
templation will bever Injure it in tbe
least. Tbe Journal is very much
pleased with tba future prospects for
tbis town and Invites level-headed
business men to come this way when
in search of a good location.

About Tree Planting.
MaxesX8TER, O. T-, March 1,1801.
It 1* a subject of vast Importance to the
early settlers of a treeless country like ours
bow and when and what kind of trees to
plant to obtain the bett result*. There or*
many kinds of trees to choose from that
would do well In this country If properly
managed. I think no greater mistake can be
made than selecting large trees. In each a
caw you get few It any feeders, they being
well out on the end* of the roots are sure to
be left In tbe ground when the tree la dug.
When moving apple trees they ihould be the
size of a lead pencil. The roots of such trees
can ha token np with more feeders, while
they have less top to support. The result la
growth, If cared for. We ahould not expect
many apples Inside of seven years after
planting, and long before that time the little
ea wUl shoot by the larger ones. A peach
tree Just bursting tho pit is not one whit be-
hind a tree of any site you may choose, pro-
vided the tree has to be transplanted. It to
very convenient for nursery men to dig their
trees In tbe fall so aa to hare them ready for
early delivery In the spring. There may be
way* to keep them so they will not lose vital-
ity, but I question It. I know that a limb cat
off In fall would be nearly dry by spring,
which prove* to me that the root has the top
to rapport during winter. It to only reason-
able thateach treatment to hard on the tree
nnd also on the root. I prefer to transplant
trees Jnst before th* leaves start. Then It
has a chance to go to work at once and re-
pair the Injury. Tbe roots should not ba ex-
posed to the sun or dry wind Bve minutes.
Catch a damp day for removing trees Set
the trees deep so that a little hollow can be
left around each tree which may be filled np
level during the first year's cultivation.
Never ridge up the tree*. Do not plant any
thing In your orchard or grove—It requires
all the ground. On tbe other hand kill every
plant that comes up When a drouth comes
you will have alee moist ground for yoar
res. Trees whlto small require much atten-
tion. If young tree* are treated to tbe ‘‘root
hag or die” plan they die every time. And
it looka to me like a hard death.
Coma, now, let ns plant trees—fruit trees,
post trees, ornamental trees. Jnst so they are
sea Let not Maacheeter and neighborhood
gat behind other localities. Each year we
delay pate as nee year behind.
