MUTILATING STREET TREES. Park Expert's View on Protecting Them From Electric Light Wires. C. M. Loring, for long years known as the father of the Minnen polls park system, in writing of the tight for the protection and preservation of street trees in Minneapolis describes a plan that can be adopted by any town. He Bays: "There is now a very good under standing between the public service companies and the park board. For a long time there was a great deal of friction owing to the acts of vandalism Of companies. In this as in other cities whenever the trees interfered with their wires they would mutilate them in the most outrageous manner, even going so far as to cut down trees that were teu aud fifteen inches in diame ter. But all of this is changed. The park board had every man arrested who trimmed a tree without a permit, and the court inflicted a good big hue and a promise of imprisonment if the culprit came a second tin:?. "Now if a tree interferes with the wire a permit is applied for, which is referred to the committee on street trees, and if the tree can be trimmed without injuring it the permit is grant ed; if not. the company takes some oth er means of overcoming the difficulty. Usually this is by stringing a cable instead of a number of single wires. Our judges have learned that there is more value in a shade tree than what it would be worth for cord wood, so now after a battle of several years' duration our trees are pretty well pro tected. A park policeman who was detailed to look after them arrested over 2?0 for hitching horses to trees before the drivers began to realize that the ordinance would be enforced and that a second offense meant a large fine. Our city is one of the best plant ed in the country, and we are all proud of our beautiful forest lined streets." Tin Can Mountain a Lesson. A few months ago the women of Trenton, Mo., organized the Cleau City club-aud succeeded in cleaning up the town by a novel scheme. The club offered to pay L'5 cents a hundred for all tin cans gathered from the streets and alleys within the city limits. In a few days every alley was cleared, and a pile of more than S0.000 tin cans was stacked about the flagpole in the ceuter of the town green where every one might see them. The sight so im pressed the city council that it not only paid the bill for collecting the cans, but Issued orders and saw that the entire town was thoroughly cleaned. Andy and Sandy. Andy and Sandy were Lrothcrs two; Lived In the town of Pleasant View. Andy always traded at home; Sandy often preferred to roam.
