arowIng tomatoes.

Vick's Magazine says that Professor
Mussey formerly entertained the opin-
ion that heavy applications Of nitroga
enous manures for tomatoes made the
vines too rank and the fruit crooked,
but now be thinks that If the strain of
seed Is good no amount Of manurlng
will make 1t more irregular in form
and that a rank growth Of vine means
that they WIN need more room and
produce a larger crop OF large tomatoes
He believes that seed from small fruits
will produce small fruit and the re-
verse; that training TO n single stem
results IN less number OF blossoms, less
pollen and smaller crop while the
largest crops are on the plants that are
allowed TO develop naturally, and fruit
on healthy plants lying on the ground
Is no more liable to'rot than that of Il.
Like Indian corn, the tomato produces
best when the seed is grown in the
same climate nnd latitude where sthe
crop is to he grown, and TO take 1t far
northso or south is to prevent II from
doing its best. If this Is SO, the gar

Another LitiIe Trust.

The Standard OIL people have bought
another little trust, only matter of
about $50.000,000, known as the Lin
seed Oil company, and the price of
linseed oil has been on the jump ever
since. This advance In price does not
agree with Republican predictions that
the formation of trusts results in
cheapening the product There is a
tariff on linseed oil of 20 cents gal
Ion, which allows the trust to raise the
price at least that much and not ex-
perlence any competition. When you
paint your house or barn, you pay the
trust a large tax, approaching 40 per
cent of the cost of the oil used; and this
tax Is collected by the trust by adding
to the price over what the same prod
uct could be imported for and by the
protection granted the trust by the Re-
publican tariff.

The View @rwia.. In Tennis.


Some of the descriptions ot the
twist" service which recently obtain
ed prominence owing to the visit of
Messrs. Ward aud Davis to England
are amusing, to say the least
One writer describes 1t as service
wherein the ball after striking the
ground refuses 70 rise again and slides
across tue court until the energy inn
parted to 1t by the server is expended.
Still another states with detail hoY'th
ball after having passed over the net
into the receivers court bounds back
again without giving the receiver of
the service chance TO return 1t.
In reality the "twist'h service causes
the bali the instant 1t strikes the
ground to hy mt almost right angles to
the course OF the serve. The reason for
this is the .dewpward twist impaired
the ball together with side motion at
the moment the ball is leaving the
racket
The effect OF sach$n service is some
what similar 10 the out drop" of Il
baseball pitcher which causes the ball
to drop suddenly as 1t passes the plate
and curve outward az the same time.
Only few of our American racket
wielders have as yet mastered thor
oughly the intricacies Of the twist"
service. but without doubt next year
will see the service used by number
Of tue leading players. This service is
physically very severe on the player
using it because it calls into play mus
cles seldom used in playing lawn ten

THE TRUSTS AND LABOR.
Organization of Workers n Product
of Civilization

OTgnniEntiOn OF workers n PrOduct
of Civilization.
IIarper's Weekly, which Is still called
q Journal of civilization, but is now own
ed by Republicans who are trust mag
mates, pictures labor being blindfolded
by walking delegates with the lnscrlp-
tion HE doesn't need eyes with us to

the laborers against the officers they
have elected to look after their inter-

The organization of labor Is a product
Of civilization that Harper's Weekly
pretends to represent. There could be
no organization without officers placed
in authority to carry out the objects
for which the organization is created.
1t shows the strength and Intelligence
of workingmen that they have accom-
plished this union and held up the
hands of their Representatives That Is
a great advance in civilization and, II
persisted In, will accomplish the object
they have In yiew--the betterment of
their condition. The efforts of all good
citizens should aid them in this, that
the trusts may not become their mas-

Celebrated California fraction
 Case Decided.
PRICE ARD TaEMPER
Are Awarded tie Entire Clair, by a Decision Which Was Handed Down This Morning by Judge Wicker sham, of the District Court.

In the district court today Judee Wickersham handed down an opinion in the case of J. T. Price and Criss Tremper versus Finley Mcintosh and others involving the bench claim known as the "Calfornia fraction'' on Glacier creek. The plaintiffs alleged two sources of title, the first being de- rived through a location made May %. 1899, and the second on the same ground August IS, 1900. T he defend- ants claimed title through a location of the 'Callfornia frrctiOn' made on August 2S, 1900. The defendants did not. deny that the locations were made as claimed. and it was admitted that the California fraction was located, withen the locations made by Thorolf and Magnus kjelsberg. the first locat- ors, with the intent to locate and claim the excess in width therein, 6GG feet.
 The opinion handed down by Judge Wickersham holds. among other things, that the location of more ground than is allowed by law is void only as to the excess, and that there can be no excess in placer mining claim, however wide or long it may be. unless the area exceeds 20 acres; it need not conform to the public surveys, no limit being fixed by statute to it's length or breadth or form, ''and with out Seme rule. regula tion or custom of Ihe miners within the district limits the locator, it seems as if he may locate his placer claim to follow the paystreak in any form he chooses, but not tc eX ceed 20 acres in extent" No local laws or mining regulations can restrict a placer location to less than 20 acres, although the locator is not compelled to take 90 much.
 The court, therefore, finds that the location of the California fraction was and is void, bFcau5e there was no excess or fraction upon which to locate, and because at the time of it's attempted location the fraction was in the aetna occupation of Thorolf Kielsberg. it's first locator and was being worked and mined.
