Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - April 24, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba 8 tuesday april 2-1, 1877. Tkk10s. This season of Iho year should be availed of by residents of both City and country to beautify their Homes by the planting of Trees. Homes in a Prairie Region whether in town or country arc not Apt to to naturally Beautiful. There is generally too much Samo Noss or Monotony. This l Bald Noss can however to far removed by judicious tree planting. Our Woods and Groves Supply As excellent Trees for Oma. Mentation As can Bod sired and Tho expense therefore attendant upon this class of improvement is but inconsiderable. It is an old but True and suggestive saying that Trees grow while men Tho Force of which is that no Timo should be lost in too planting. No outlay upon property can to More profitable than in tree planting. A building lot is enhanced in value by having it Row of growing Trees in front several times Tho Cost of Tho decoration. And in this connection it might to Well to remember that Tho City Council give n Bonus for tree planting. Of Ruoai when a frightful collision Accomma livery on main Street. To Tho editor of Tho of Akk puss. A writer under Tho name of in saturday s Issue on the above subject makes an uncalled for attack on Tho proprietor now livery stable near the custom House. To writes that stops should to taken to com Pel Tho said proprietor to Mako Tho Entrance to Tho stable in the Roar instead of on main Street. Surely april must have omitted putting fool after his signature As his ideas readily bring one think that that word should be added to his title. Of Tho in trance Woro in Tho rear of course Tho Man ure Etc., would have to to thrown in i. C., on main Street which oven april fool will admit would hardly to Tho thing. Then us to Tho attack on this particular Stablo. Why were not other livery stables which Aro in More conspicuous and populated parts of Tho City and in close proximity to private residences referred to v thy one attacked is Alono of All in Hie City completely isolated and is Likely to cause less offence to if Thoro be any offence at All than any other Ivory. Thoro is not Tho slightest cause in Tho world for picking out and attacking this particular stable and i can Only account for it that april fool wanted to air himself through your columns and did t know what else to say.

A him Nied by loss of life occurs on an English railway people Aro Apt to repeat the old saying that directors will never enforce pro per precautions until a Bishop has lost his life in some Accident. It seems to require an event peculiarly startling and sensation Al to arouse Tho Public mind to a sense of Tho Many presentable sources of danger which Are daily encountered with mighty Little real appreciation of Tho risk incurred. A catastrophe like that which shocked nil Europe and America in Tho burning of the Brooklyn theatre was not without beneficial results. Many places of amusement in the United states lost All Public Patron age until Tho proprietors Mado such improvements in Tho moans of Ogress As paused them no longer to to Mere traps for Tho thoughtless and unwary. In Europe the authorities became More conscious of their responsibilities and both in England and on the continent stops wore taken to enforce regulations framed to secure the safety of Large Public assemblages. Tho legislature of Manitoba Tho province Whoso motto is Over legislated in Tho same direction by passing an act which re quires that All Public Halls churches Etc., shall be provided with doors to open out wards. We lately read that Tho lord Chamberlain of England under Whoso License Tho metropolitan theatres Are constructed Baa insisted upon Stone staircases being built in All such buildings though Why Iron or Brick would not do As Well does not seem altogether Clear. The recent Cala mity at St. Louis in the burning of the Southern hotel brought Home to the minds of the Public the constant danger to which travellers Are exposed who Are in the habit of patronizing those monster hotels which Are characteristic of american cities. Nobody likes now to occupy a chamber More than one or two stories from the base ment and the problem is presented to Tho landlords of first class establishments How to satisfy their customers that there is a possibility of escape should a fire break out. Various Means Are suggested by which the lives of inmates might be saved in such an event. It is suggested that balconies should surround Tho building on each floor communicating by Iron with the ground which would be exceedingly convenient for thieves on Ordinary occasions As veil As for boarders or travellers in Case of fire. Another suggestion is that each Cham Ber should be supplied with a Strong rope knotted at frequent intervals and Long enough to reach the ground. Somebody else hints that such a Means of escape would to less Likely to Lead to broken Bones if in the form of a rope ladder which however is again open to Tho objection that such facilities would tend to develop in romantic Young ladies ideas of elopement besides affording Means for intrigues of nil sorts and kinds by those desiring to possess them selves of either hearts or Gold watches. Among a multitude of counsellors there Wisdom and the Peculiar inventive faculty of the Yankee mind being once set in motion to May confidently look for some scheme shortly to to devised which will meet the exigency in which first class hotel keepers now find themselves.

Tho shipment in question is Mado by Tho messes. Spears Brothers of Culph Ontario Canada and consists of Nineteen head of Boot cattle and Twenty four head of horses. Tho former is worthy of special mention not Only on account of Tho superiority and weight of Tho animals but As being Tho product of the Canadian Dominion.
