A. on a Journey to Alaska by S. M. Giddinss, of Brooklyn, N Y A trip across the continent, and north to the wilds and iceberba of NAJaaka. What an undertaking. In the memory of most of these now present a trip to the Pacific fH. tedious journey taking months to accomplish, while Alaska Was impossible. That was a region unknown, visited at long intervals by 'Government vessels only, and attended with great danger, two (inenof war having been lost Jjojtyfyrts to reach that far region. 'HOW marvelous the change T ThtOtigh the energy, pluck and drive of the age in which we live, it is today a pleasure trip andean be easily made in three months, 'taking In most that is interesting to see both on the outward as well as hotoeward trip. Ai , many present will no doubt wish to make the trip, I propose to take J0n, by easy Btages, from your homes in New Berne, and land you in far off Sitka, 1,500 miles north Md 5,000 miles west. "We will take it lor grauted that tieketa are purchased, baggage checked. Kissing every body good byet we find ourselves ou the 9 o'atoek train for the jonrney for Chicago. The ride is delightful; beantifol farms, gardens, country mansions, thriity cities, villages and 'manufacturing towns are passed in rapid succession ; bat few --topi are made as we are on the express train. Just at dark long lines, of bright tights can be seen, from which we know that we are approaching Philadelphia ; a brief stop only is here made and we start on our journey across the great State of Pennsylvania "rocked not in the cradle of the deep," but oirthe cars as they speed over the Swat. rails; oar eyelids begin to droop and we call to the porter to make np oar bed ; snugly stowed amy' we are soon asleep. Jfn, on we go. For some reason we awake at 3 o'clock ; looking oat of the window we see, for it is bright moonlight, that we are crossing the Alleghaneys and have a :plendid view of the famous JlQfoe Shoe Pass at Altoona. We feoon fall asleep again to awake on arrival at Pittsburgh at G a. m., where the iron industry of our country is so largely represented. Thus far we have been traveling on what is known as Eastern time ; - here, we change to Central time which , is one hour slower. We change locomotives and are soon ' oat of Pennsylvania, crossing Ohio, thickly populated, every few miles - town or city, while farm houses and 1 barns are always in view. 'While the shades of night are falffhg fast the experiences ol the previous evening is repeated. Long .; rows of lights again appear and we sOea after enter the great city of Chicago. A night's rest fits as lor f a visit to to the wonders of this fambtta city famous, I say, yes, fot;,irhen I was born where this I city now stands it was a vast wil- dernessV not a house for miles ' around. Twice since then has it "', been almost annihilated by fire, yet like magic, magnificent warehouses have sprang on both sides of wide r'anir jlne streets, the number of which surprise hs. " ; As tbe country is uninteresting T" ' we will take a sleeper from Chicago ,'L- to4ti',?ao and Minneapolis two eUieSiOf marvelous growth arriv V ierftiif good season for breakfast, 4(hiVing covered 425 miles more.) JlereSre get our first view of the Mississippi river, tbe great "father ' oh wjrten." We mast linger here arUUy OtWO. - ' St. Panl is at the head of naviga- tlotj ahd Jstne focus of the railroad -. . 11 ' . activity of the Northeast. Clas- terea aroana me great uiu or at. Anthony stand the colossal flouring! mills tnas have been mora than ever the pride and glory of Minne apolis tince they enabled her to pluck from Chicago's crown one of its brightest jewels. The following figures will be interesting: 1S54 a wild prairie inhabited by Indians and buffalos. 18G0, population 5,899. 1880, population 49,194. 1886, population 150,000. Milling capacity 25,000 barrels of flour a day. In ISSoj Chicago received 19,00d, 000; New York 25,000,000; Min neapolis 32,000,000 bushel of wheat. Do you blame them for being proud of their city t But to tarn from the romance of figures to that of song and story we will visit tbe far fmed Falls of Minnehaha, immortalized in Long- fellow's poem, in the suburbs of tbe city. Nothing you will see alter this will entirely efface the memory of these laughing waters. Whilo St. Paul is the oldest city ;t numbers bat 110,000. Minn6apc- lis has today 150,000 inhabitants, The jealousy between the two places is laughable to outsiders, It is said that a minister in Min- neapolis took his text oue Sunday from St. Paul and the vestry met promptly Monday and asked him to resign. From this point west everything seems to change. We stiike the great western prairies aud encoun - ter a diflerent style of life. They call things by new namert They do not have any road, they are called trails; no barn yards, they are called corrals; a ravine is a gulch; a quarter is two bits; a half dollar four bits. Taking the Northern Pacific Kail road at this point, we leave behind us city life. Soou after leaving Minneapolis wo pans through Sc. Cloud,the scene of a recent cyclone. Wnat marvelous power is poss ssed by the wind; every thintr iu its way leveled to the earth, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Krxcrging from the deep recesses of the forests and passing rapidly through the lake region, of which there are over 10,000 in Minnesota, we find ourselves in a level prairie country, As we wish to experience a little of ranch life we will alight at Jamestown on James liiver ' (which they call Jim River), a prosperous town in the centre of Dakota. Before reaching this place we pass some of the largest farms in the world, tho inost nota ble ol which is the famous Dalrym ple wheat farm comprising 50,000 acres, giving employment to 1,000 men. You can plainly see that everything out here is done on a large scale. Even their stories are big. But we must leave the town to see ranch life. We take a carriage for Peak By ant, 25 miles north. We often wonder hotc places get their names, almost always in some accidental way. Peak Byant re ceived its name in thi way. A gentleman from Philadelphia, look his wife, an Irish lady, west to see her new home; after riding more than twenty miles as they reached a little rise of ground he pointed out the new house five miles dis tant. She eagerly asked, pointing in the direction indicated, is it that peak or this Peak Byant t From that time to this the place is known by that name. To be Continued. Tbe Value and Importance of Forests. The subject of planting trees is always fresh for it is always impor tant. A country denuded of forests most be barren and dry. The con dition ot great districts has been greatly changed by destroying the forests. We have had mnch to say of the value and importance of the forests, and we have again and again urged upon tho authorities of the State to do all they could to advance this really very important interest. Wc have discussed the subject often tinder a three fold aspect: First, the inline: ce offices upon climate. Second, the iullueuco of trees upon the public healt h. Third, tho inlluefcce of trees upon the resources of the people. We have proved indubitably that the forests seriously affect the climate. They mitigate the severity of winter and greatly contribute to the rainfall. l:i Europe aud other portions of the world the destruc tion of tLo forests has been followed by great droughts, sterility of soil, a change of elimate, unci an in crease ot sickness. The conse quence was the people became poorer, and the disease among them became more frtque it, with increased mortality rates. The destruction of forests in manv localities, and even in great dis tricts of country, has been followed by a failure of crops from year to year, and a consequent impoverish ing of the people. Then the forests are exceeding profitable. The finer woods aro much Sought after and are of much value. Stripping tbe country ot the trees as our lathers did, was suicidal and absurd in the extreme. It grew oat of the IfBortnce andthoaght- lessness of toe owners. The necessity of tree planting is apparent to all who have looked into tbe matter. As a source of profit it pays to plant. In the Northern States tree planting is regularly done every year, and an arbor day is appointed by the Governor, npon which the whole people go into the tree planting business. North Carolina is not wise in neglecting this matter. It has great barren wastes that ought to be covered with trees, and its people have been so unwise as to literally "fool away" their most valuable trees such as are in so much demand in the North, and which so readily command high prices. The sum lost . to North Carolina by this policy would "as tonish the natives" If they could see it piled up in the "dollars of oar daddies." The people should be encouraged to plant the mapel. walnut, chest nut, hickory, &o. Mr. Burnett Landreth, President of tbe Penn- I sylvania Forestry Association, writes to the Norfolk Landmark concerning tree planting in Tide- water Virginia. What he says may be ol use to people in this section of North Carolina, lie planted 5,000 acres on the lower Chesapeake, using every variety of tree. The experiment leads him to the conclusion that it will not do tD plant black locusts and decidu- oas cypress, Scotch larch, hickory, 'pecan, tulip, popular, oak, maclura, wild blaok cherry, ailautbus. asb, mulberry and some others. Be sayt-: "After eighteen years of practii a! forest planting on a small scale I conclude that for the particular region of Tidewater Virginia, and I think 1 may veuture to say as well for Tidewater Delaware, Mary land and North Carolina, there are only four trees to plant; and I con clude alio that it is very questiona ble if it be profitable in that region ' to plant at all, so lone as tho wild pine will spring up in every field just as soon as annual cultivation ceases." 1 The farm (rees referred to are catalpa, black waluut. white pine !and Douglas fir. His cbiof success was with the catalpa, which he pronounces hardy as the chestnut, of quick growth aud valuable for Dosts and sills. Let North Carolina plant the best trees for market and pat an end to selling timbers for one fourth their value. Wilmington Messenger.
