The Train Car Encounter on Hog Back Ridge
A debonair conductor stops a mountain passenger, a tearful sunbonneted girl, and her wary brother on a mountain train bound for Ridgeboro. The woman in the next seat urges reconciliation with Herk, urging the girl to return home, while the girl plans to walk seven miles to Brant’s Bridge rather than accept help. The scene ends with a farewell and a resolve to face the future.

Treeless Kansas to Get Forestry Study This Summer
The Washington Star reports that treeless regions of western Kansas north of the Arkansas River and west of a line from Osborne through Russell to Larned will be studied by the Bureau of Forestry this summer. R S Kellogg of Russell will direct the project, examining tree growth along watercourses, effects of fire and stock exclusion, and suitable species for upland planting. The study notes thin timber due to low rainfall, wind, and sun, and aims to identify best trees for future planting.
