All wild plant growth Is uow goiug to seed, and if weeds on vacant lots were at present liarvcatcU and burned Tic crop next year would not be so nhuudaut cither uon vataut lots or ailjolnlng premises. Improvement soci eties everywhere should apinilnt "va cant lot committees" to visit or write all vacant lot owuers wltb a view to getting them cleaned up. A small tsx on each tneiulivr would provide funds to cut and burn the crop on property of uouivsldcuts. Where no Improvement society Is at work somebody having municipal pride should take up the task. Iu other places au association could be formed to tackle Uila most serious menace to civic beauty. A number of sheep were recently poisoned by e'ltiog choke i lurry leaves. while passing over a drivrway across part of the Mauti National Fore t iu Ctnh, and, thongh t-hnp driveways are not Rtrictly part of the' National Forest range, the gnve'ru meut has tute i steps to prevent furthef l')K8e to the shppuun from this cause. Members of tho force nn the forests will co-operats with stock men iu cuttiug out the thickets f choke cherry bushes where they krow moat dense, thus allowing the s'leep to be hurried . through fit m, and in souw cases the rlrivewny will he changed so as to avoid the thickets altogether. When the sheep euler ibis driveway they are hungry afiertt lo.ig trip ovtr public highways, which form .almost one continuous Hue b 'tween, cultivated fields. They eat the ohoke cherry leaves raven ously, though under ordinary condi tions they would hardly touch them. The leaves cjntiiu irusnic ani'l, and when an elimination was made of the stomachs of several of the d' a t sheep, aud they were found filled with the leves, the causa of death was clearly established. Stocknien throughout the Wet are coming more Hilly to recognize t'i benefits i.f go ruuiont co-op'ra-iou and riune c tr.d. T'e wlmK grazing policy is to make Hie tauge better aud to ins ire its equitable uie Restriction is practiced not for its own rake, but for the good of the range and of th- Hook men who de pend upon it. The r.tnge has deteriorated nuder unrestricted use, aud so the govern ment is making Investigations under the direction of F. V. Coville, botaniBt, Bureau of Plant Industry, Depart ment of Agriculture, with a view to reseeding with better grass. Again, poisonous plauts are often destructive to livestock, and in this case Dr. C U. Marsh, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, is conducting a study tc detect poisonous plants and suggest means ot eradicating them. There are also "hevy losses from preda'ory animals, but government hunters and trappers are busy reducing the number of mountain lious and timber wolves, which do most of the damage. A GOOD HEDGE. How Honeysuckle Can Be Planted to Offset an Ugly View. It may he that you are planning a new hedge this year to shut out an Ugly view or Intruding nniinals or to form a boundary line, says the De lineator. For this purpose the com mon honeysuckle. Loulcera grata. Is worthy of consideration. A simple but strong wire fence will support It per fectly, nud the roots may lie wt In at almost any time of the year. The vine grows rapidly,. showing a disposition to take care of itself even to the extent of choking out poison Ivy or other climbers that endeavor to Invade Its stronghold. Its habit is to grow to the top of the fence and then to droop down gracefully on either side. A close wall. of preen Is soon formed, so close. Indeed, that dots give up the at tempt to push themselves through Its mass of Intertwined twigs. The flow ers return for a second blooming, cast ing always to considerable distances their soft, delicate sceut. A hedge of honeysuckle vines, more over. Is less costly than one of box or privet, nnd It does not require the clipping and care of the latter. Often such a hedge fornta a desirable wind break especially for the roses of a garden. Trained over a simple frnme work. It makes a delightful canopy for a garden bench. BUSINESS C0LLE0E WASHINGTON AND TENTH STREETS PORTLAND.

STAILEY, Principal The Courier has the Ijrgcst circula tion in Grants Pass of anv caper. Value and Prottction of 8tret Treos. Municipalities haw of late much awakened to the value of street trees and the advisability of protecting them, more especially since several eastern courts have placed a value of several hundred dollars on fine old specimens damaged by public sen-lee companies through their wire stringing vandals. These latter look upon nil street trees as so many obstructions and place no value upon them. This Is evident through the ruthless and un necessary butchering Indulged In by all linemen. That neither the public nor the abutting property owner has an) rights or privileges In the matter seems to be taken for granted. 'THE SCHOOL OF QUALITY"- s Clean Up. The most unsightly feature of a town at present and one that may easily be removed Is the vacant lot crop of weeds. Just now the weeds are going to seed and should at once be removed and burned. Not only will this Im prove the looks of the streets and town In general, but the destruction of fhls year's seed crop will materially re duce next year's weed crop upon these areas and adjoining premises.
