The qrn-Atlon , "Arc trees receding from the
Ncfjraska plains ? " Is the subject of an In *
structlve piper by Prof. Charles n. Bessey
of the State university In a late Issue of
Garden and Fore t. Prof. Bessey tnys truly
that thi1 question la ot "no little Interest ,
both botanlcally and economically. " The
changes ho notes do not Include changed
wrought by man , but the "slow changes duo
to natural causes , and having nothing w hat-
ever to do with men s activities. "
There are , nil told , he writes , sixty-Ova
apecles of trees which firow naturally within
the limit of the state , > ct for a great part
of Its area but a small per cent of these are
to be found In any particular locality. The
greatest number occurs In the southeastern
corner of the state , and from this point the
species decrease as we piss northwesterly.
To particularize , ae wo enter the state at Its
eotithofstern corner wo find that there are
ten species of oaks , but after traveling alxty
to sixty-live miles westward or northwest
ward we find tint there are but two species ,
and within a few kilometers ( five to ten
milts ) one of these disappears , unless we
follow the b lnfTa of the Missouri northward
The trres of the walnut family present a
eltnl.ar interesting distribution. The black
walnut has extended Its range along the
couth Pae of the state , In the Reptib'lcan
valley , for 200 to 220 miles. and northward
along the Missouri and Nlobrara rivers for
fully 135 miles. The butternut , on the con
trary does not extend more than
sixty to seventy-five miles from Its point
of entrance TOP shellbark , the big hick
ory-nut and the pig-nut have little it any ,
greater range than the butternut. So If we
take up almost any of the species they are
found to have entered the state from the
southeast and to have passed northward and
westward to greater or lens distances There
are , however , a few species ( nine In all )
which seem to have entered from the west
One is the buffalo berry , shepherdla argentca ,
which is scarcely entitled to DP called a tree.
since It rarely attains to cither the form or
dimensions of one , It has. however , succeeded
In traveling further than any other of the
western arboreous species , reaching the Mis
souri river on the east and the Republican
on the south The next In extent of dlst'lbu-
tlon Is the yellow or bull pine , which enters
the state at two points and stretches ea
ivard for long distances Near the north
western corner of the state Pine Ridge with
an elevation of 4,600 feet , extends eastward
from the Wyoming mountains , and after
about ninety miles passing over the line Into
South Dakota. On this elevated ridge , which
Is quPc mountainous In many places , the
yellow or bull pine Is found In abundance ,
and It baa passed from the ridge to the
abrupt and rocky bluffs of the Nlobrara river
down which It has extended to within less
than sixty miles of the river's mouth. About
seventy-live miles south of Pine Ridge Is a
similar but higher uplift of land , Cheyenne
ridge , which extends eastward between the
North Platte and the Lodge Pole rivers for
a distance of nearly 125 miles Its hlgfiest
points , known locally as the Wild Cat moun
tains , attain an elevation of about 5.300 feet
and from these the rldgo descends gradually
to 3,700 feet at Its eastern extremity Upon
this extended ridge this pine has extended
for at least ninety miles It Is found also
In widely Isolated canyons In the central part
of the state , near the eastern border of the
great pandhlll belt.
INVASION OP NEW TREES.
The following trees , which have Invaded
the state from the west , have followed cne
or the other of these two ridges. Thus th
quaking atiien ( populua tremuloldes ) , bla.'k
cottonwood ( popmlus angustlfulla ) , mountain
inatplo ( uccr glabrum ) . and canon b'rch ( betula
occldcntalls. follow Pine Ridge for from ten
to seventy-five miles On Cheyenne rld.i
Ilydberg's cottouwood ( pcpulus acumlnatl ) ha
pushed in from the
Wjomlng foothills for i
distance of from ten to fifteen miles. It Is
Interesting to mention here that the very
pretty smaller mountain mahogany ( cercocar
pus parvlfollus ) , which further southwes
becomes a email tree , enters the state on
Cheyenne Ridge , where It grows luxuriantly
as a rather tall spreading shrub en the pre
clDltous sieves of the Wild Cat mountains
Looking over the whole area iod studying
attentively the condition of the trees along
the borders of the areas which they occupy
wo may ask whether they are advancing o
retreating At one time I held the view thj
the eastern trees were advancing and thi
western retreating , but further examination
has somewhat modified this view Alonir the
western border of the area occupied by the
bur oak ( quercus macrocaroa ) tbe trees are'
found uirrj the sides of thc narrow valleys
through which flow the creeks and rivers
These trees are young and vigorous and have
every appearance of having obtained recently
a foothold Further down these streams the
trees are larger , and finally we come to groves
of mature trees. The same facts may be
observed with le&i emphasis with regard to
the red oak ( quercus rubra ) , b'ack walnut ,
bitter-nut h'ckory ' ( hlcorla minima ) , Kentucky
coffee tree ( gymnocladus dlotcus ) , honey lo
cust ( gledltsla trlacanthoa ) , green ash ( fraxl-
nua lancoolata ) . All of these species appear
to bo moving westward , the trees of the
most westerly stations being nearly always
young and vigorous.
PINR3 MOVING EASTWAHD
With the western species It Is nearly the
same While at some stations the pine trees
upon outlying borders are apparently the
remnants of a former larger growth , In
many other places these outliers arc grow
ing and vigorous. This was particularly
noticeable In a recent visit to Cheyenne
Itldge , where but one explanation could bo
given for tbe prrctnt distribution of Individ
ual trees upon the spurs and hillsides. It
is very certain that upon Cheyenne Hldgc
the-p.-nes are slowly pushing eastward , and
that In spite of the ravages of man and
of herds ot cattle , horses and sheep , this
species Is more than holding Its own , Upon
some parts of Pine Illdge man's Interference
Jus checked the advance of tbe pine , and
this 1s tbe care also In some places along
the Nl brara river , but In many other places
tbe young trees are springing up and vigor
ously ccntcstlcs with grasses and weeds for
the posiesslon of ground The mountain
maple and the canyon birch give ono tbo
same Impression of a successful and com
paratively iccent advance Into a territory
formerly unoccupied Even the shrubby
mountain mahcgany upon the elopes of the
Wild Cat mountains Is evidently fighting
a winning , and net a losing , battle. No one
can ride through the mountain canons and
see the vigorous plants of this pretty peeks
ami come to any other conclusion than that
there In hee a strong eastern advance of
o western spcclea ,
With respect to some of the trees upon
the Nebraska plains I have to admit that
it Is at p'csent Impossible to see cither ad-
vaiu-o or retreat It U probable that In wnio
inatanccs as for example the paper birch
( bc'.ula papyrlfera ) , the trees have remained
where they arc for ages , without perceptible
change In area Perhaps we have In this
tree a survival of tbe- glacial mlgralou from
the far no-th Likewise , I find It Impossible
to pronounce upon the status of the basswood -
wood , c tioiwood , elm , silver maple , buck
eye , cherries , etc. They have as yet not
shswn anything which la conclusive either
may From such evidences a we have thus far ,
It U evldec' that some of the eastern trees
are advancing toward the west and that
tome of the western trees are advancing
eastward In other word * , we can lay that
ot the ipoclei are cot media * from
the Nebraska plain * , and that as to thf >
other species tbe evidence ot advance or re
treat la not wanting

ST LOUIS , Nov. 25. According to the
Post-Dispatch , which prints the story this
nftertoon , Dr. Nansen , the Arctic explorer ,
who list night lectured to a crowded house
it 'Music hall on his travpls In the far north ,
deliberately snubbed a committee of prom
inent cfileials of the munlcIpaHty and federal

Hurd , who charged that tbe free reception
of Dr. Nansen at the High school Thursday
afternoon had detracted from tie attendance
01 the doctor's lecture Wednesday night , and
he showed a disposition to resent the offer
ing of any further honors.
The committee had arranged a carriage

were decl'oed through his manager , so the

the Statement * .
There Is no particular Inwhich the effect
of the general Improvement In business con
ditions Is more apparent than In the general
disposition on the part of Omaha property
owners to secure public Improvements. Tor
a couple of years previous these have been
almost at a standstill , but during the last
few months a degree of activity has devel
oped which has not been exceeded even In
the boom times. In this case the approach
of the exposition and Its multitude of visit
ors lias operated to assist In the movement
and the vigorous competition between con
tractors and the unpreceuentedly low prices
at which the work Is being done have left
the property owners no excuse for further
d 'ay of Improvements which have long been
desirable.
Unfortunately , so far as new pavements
are concerned , the sentiment did not develop .
until It was too late for much of the work i
to be done this jcar This , In connection j
with the unfortunate delay In the South
Sixteenth repavlng , has practically restricted i
the paving operation * of the present season I
to the Tarnam and Center street Jobs But j
a large number of contracts have been cxe-1 | I
cuted ors which tbe work Is to bo done early !
la the spring and there are a number of
additional districts in which all the pre
liminary steps have been taken and the pavc-
ironts are assured The Farnam and Center
street districts alone aggregate nearly 93,000 j 1
yards of paving and nearly an equal amount ,
is already assured for the early spring ! j
Including the districts in which contracts j I !
will certainly be let this year and one dis
trict In which It is stated that a majority | I
petition will soon bo submitted there are'
nineteen paving contracts either UDder way
or assured for the beginning of next year
These districts Include about 170 000 square
yards and assuming that-the present prices
vvl 1 rule tbe cost of the work -vlll be
slightly less than $223,000 Tcls represents
a tremendous amount of work when the re
cent reduction In prices Is considered At
the prices which formerly prevailed It would
cost Just about an even $300000 to pave these
streets and the more than 50 per cent reduc
tion Is the difference between what the coi-
tiactors are willing to do the work lor when
there Is real competition In sight and the
prices that ttey obtained some years ago

Thanksgiving day at the exposition grounds
was characterized by throwing the gates wide
open to all comers and when the gatekeepers
arrived at 8 o'clock they found-a number of
strangers watting to get Inside to see for
themselves whether all that they had heard
about the magnitude of the undertaking was
true. There was a constant stream of people
Into the grounds until nearly noon , when the
drizzling rain discouraged people from under
taking a visit. The greater part of the vis
itors were strangers In the city and conspicu
ous among them were numbers of college
youths , evidently drawn to Omaha by the attractions -
tractions on the foot ball fields.
Work was being pushed on all of the bulld-
Ings on the main court , the contractors hur-
rylng , their men to get ta much done as poesl-

The Nebraska building , over on the bluff
tract , was silent and deserted the workmen
hiving gone to their homes In different parts

There was a slight premonition of trouble

The Department of Exhibits has adopted a
new policy toward state exhibits and has
decided to allot each transm'sslsslppl state
a certain amount of space In the main build
ings , the amount being based on the popula
tion of the state and running from 200 to 1 OfO
feet This policy was adopted In order that
ao Mi to in the transmlsslsslppl region might
be able to say that because Its legialature
failed to mike an appropriation It could not
make any exhibit on account of the amount
charged for space. This generous action on
the " .part of the exposition management will
cost the esposltlon consldrrable money , as
Aside front the paving the most notable
operations of the season have been In permsj
neat sidewalks. More permanent walks
have been laid in Omaha during the last six
monihs that In any year In Its history. For
several ycara there has been a general ten
dency en i he part of the city officials to al
low the greatest possible liberty In tnis di
rection. During the tird times hundreds of
property owners found it dllScult to pay t-e
: axes that had already accrued and they con
tended that to Impose the necessity of bulld-
Int permanent walks was an unjustifiable
nardthip. This view was sh rsi bv the
council and the Board cf Public Works to

claims for personal Injuries on account of

During the past season this policy has beeo

ers have acquiesced In the new po'lcy and li
hundreds of oases thev have put dour , the

of their extent except by IE.king a tedious

( hit state who are Interested In seeing that
the Sunflower itate la properly represented
at tbe exposition. The suggestion was made-
by the secretary of the Commercial club ot
Kmporla that a splendid exhibit for Kansas ,
and one that would not only attract much
Attention , but would also be Inexpensive ,
would be to colk-ct a ton of cancelled. ' mort
gages throughout the elate nnd take them
to thc exposition. These tokens of cancelled
Indebtedness or voucher * of present prosper

ner by a committee to be appointed by Gov

probation , and should the governor call a

Ed Blunk cf Elkhorn , while hunting on

dence and came within an ace of playing
the star part at a funeral ceremony.
Samuel Fry , George Coppel. Ed Doyle
Morgan Jeffries and Ed Blunk , all Dlkhorn
lies , started for the Platte river oa a goose
and duck exterminating expedition. They
pitched their tent on the east bank of tbo
Platte near the delta ot tiie Elkborn , and
while the other members of the party ar
ranged things nice and snug around ihe
tamp Messrs. Blunk and Doyle took posses
sion of two of the Innumerable sand bars
that are part and parcel cf the rlvci1 that
distinguished for its treacaerous bottom ,
gre < a width and shallow ness , and awaited
patiently the coming of the evening flight of
gecbo and ducks Finally their vigil was re
warded , and as tbe result of t'lelr accurate
aim two of the lirgem geese bagged on the
Platte for years were served to grace the
Thanksgiving table today ,
Doyle's 'bird dropped In the current of the
river and was fast fading from sight wncn
he hastily dlvrstcd hltrself of a layer or two
of raiments and plunged Into the stream
after his prlre. After considerable flounder
ing he landed It , but was completely ex
hausted. Blunk's bird very considerately
after facing killed landed high and dry on tha
sand eminence almost at his feet and ne
congratulated himself upon his good luck
HU joy , however , waa of short duration , for
when he started Tor the river bank he made
tile discovery mat tue cnannei or tno atreim
had switched and cut him off from the land
And to make a bad matter worse the wind
came up and blew strong from the direction
of the Klondike country , ' hilling him
through and through He csnnui wlm and
there was nothing for him to do but stay
right there until hl companion could go to
camp and send aid to him He waa finally
rescued after being In the river three hours
Two natives were found who owned a boat
and were willing to man It for $1. They
were pild their price and when they reached
Blunk It was about 9 o'clock Saturday night.
Owing to tbo fact that the channel keot
eating Ita way through the bar Blunk. when
his rescuers reached him , was standing in
water waist deep.
