In the course of a few years the Northern Pacific railroad will run through an avenue of shftde trees hundreds of miles in length. This extensive tree planting is being done to protect the road from storms and snow drifts. In addition to having a large gang of men at this work between Fargo and Bismark, in Dakota, the officers have distributed immense quantities o' Bee! lings and cuttings to the farmers settled on the land grant, and offered prizes for skill in forestry. Recent storms have proved very destructive to oyster buoys on Long Island sound, and a large number have been swept away. Off Milford and Stratford many have been lost.
