1 ARBOR DAY PROCLAIMED DEATH VALLE WALKER LAKE RESERVATION COMING OF STAR THE MORNING APPEAL, CARSON CITY, NEVADA, MARCH , 14, 1906. Governor Sparks Sets Apart April 9th for Planting of Trees The following Arbor Day proclama tion was issued yesterday by Governor Sparks. In compliance with law, it is rec ommended that Monday, April 9, 190'., be observed as Arbor Day by the people of the state of Nevada, and it is suggested that the day be observed by "planting trees, schrubs and viens in the promotion of forests growth and culture for the adornment of pubi: and private grounds, places and ways." In selecting, planting and raisir.g trees I suggest that different varieties be given attention, not only for orna mental, but useful purposes. For for est culture the nut producing should be considered. The pecan will bear at the age of seven years, and with profitable results. Hickory,; black walnut and pine nut are of quick growth and valuable. Fruit trees and vines are indis pensable, both for ornament and u.e Our population-is increasing rapidly and thousands of new homes must lv Two Railroads Make Resort It a Pleasure The penny-a-liners who write rot for sensational newspapers will soon be deprived cf their best theme.

Under the direction of John Cort, Florence Roberts, the popular emo tional actress, will appear at the op era house on March 20th in her latest production, "The Strength of the Weak," a new modern play in four acts by Alice M. Smith. Miss Rob erts begins a new regime of her ca reer this season in that she will cre ate at least one new part each season for the net five years. In "The Strength of the Weak'" she is said to have one of the most im portant roles she has ever portrayei and at the same time is most happily cast. The story is a new one both as to theme and construction. The idea is new both in inception and in the the trail and the secrets of the big manner of its telling, so that an inno- district will be given to the world be- i vation may be looked for when the for the summer's sun has closed.
