NEW YORK'S REFUSE.
Mayor Low Would Utilize It for
Generation of Light.
idea Advanced by Him Has Been In
Successful Operation In Eng
Iish cities for "A Number of
Years.

Concerning the opposition to estab-
fishing covered dump at the foot
of jackson street, in New York,
Mayor Low wrote day or two ago
To Alderman James j. Devlin stating
his regrets that the city could not
have the site and in conclusion said
Il take advantage of this opportu-
nifty to say that the method Of dis
posing Of the city's waste by carry
ing it away by boats is relic of
barbarism. This waste ought, for the
most part, be burned, and the city
should never be satisfied until the
heat so generated is made a source
Of income to the city. 1T is no easy
problem to bring about this result in
the city of New York. 1t probably
will take years fully TO accomplish
it, but | am confident that in time it
can be accomplished if public senti-
ment will support every effort made
in that direction"
Mayor Lows suggestion for utiliz-
ing the city's waste products is prob
ably based on his knowledge of what
is being done in England along this
line. IL is not generally known here,
but there are over dozen towns in
England where refuse is burned and
the heat so obtained used for elec-
trio lighting purposes.
At least one of the towns uses
garbage exclusively to produce its
electric light. The others use or
binary fuel intermixed with refuse.
The combination not only provides
cheap methods Of illumination, but
it rids the towns of what would be
not very easily solved problem.
Some of the towns are of good
size. st. Helens, for instance, with
population of $4,000, operates
refuse Instructor with capacity
equivalent to $4,000 16-candle-power
lamps. Acerington, which is a town
of 5000 inhabitants, is lighted by

Change of Federal Jury.

The jury system Of the United
States courts was changed during the
recent session of congress. At first
jurors were drawn from all parts OF
the state in which the court was
held. Later this was changed SO that
the jurors were drawn from a certain
part OF the state in the district in
which court was held. AS an in
stance the jurors for the Sioux Falls
term were drawn from this side Of
the river, and for the term at Dead
wood all the jurors we're drawn from
that section Of the state. The bill
passed by congress makes a change
in the last procedure by having the
jurors drawn from all parts Of the
state. 1t was very seldom the case

1t has taken a long time to get at
some OF the facts in the census de-
partment with reference to certain
features in the way OF agricultural
statistics. The census bureau has
just made public a document which
deals with the agricultural features
OF South Dakota. In the year the
census was taken, 1900, it shows that
there were 50, 1922 farms in the state.
which We're valued at 1920, 1873, 100,
and covered an area Of 5000, GIG
acres. The live stock on the farm was
valued at S65.173,324; farm machin-
cry S12,2l8, $50; total value of farm.
property for the state was 1927, $685.
302. There is a vast difference, how
ever, in the prices OF farm lands to-
day than two years ago, and there is
no question but what the average
price OF today will be double Of that
When the census was taken, and in
hundreds of cases it is thrilled in
value. The bulletin of 1900 will hard
ly do to show anything Of values and
the resources of the state.

The Habits OF, the robin.

Let us hide behind that clump Of
blackberry bushes and watch the par
ent birds as they come to feed their
young. There comes the father robin
now. You can distinguish him from.
the mother by his darker plumages
You will notice that in coming with
the food he alights on a particular
twig, hops along a particular branch
and alights on a particular side Of the
nest. II you watched him for a;week.
you would probably see linn approach
the nest in precisely the same way
each time. Now here comes the moth.
er, Q lighter colored bird, with gray
on the back Of her head. You see that
she reaches the nest by quite a differ
ent route and alights upon the other
side Of it. and she will do this over and
owe and over again. Like men and
women. birds acquire habits which
they rigidly adhere to unless something
happens to prevent them.-Ernest Har-

The freight handlers strike in Chi
cago which threatended to cause con-
siderable disturbance in the west
has been practically settled and the
railroads did not have to concede a
point in the agreement reached.
The freight men wanted an increase
OF 30 per cent in wages, and the rail-
roads offered them an increase of 20
per cent. President Curran, who
represented the interests Of the
freight men, acceded to the advance
offered by the railroads. and said.
that he was forced to do so by the
very strikers themselves, who were
ready to go back to work at the 20.
per cent increase. So far as the strike
is concerned it was a failure for the
men, as the union they represented
was not recognized in the least by
the railroad companies.

Tracy, the Oregon convict, has
practically terrorized the entire coun-
try through which he has passed in
his SO far successful efforts to elude
the officers. His career in the past
week, we doubt. has never been equal
ed by any man, 10 matter how desper-
ate the character. Tracy has managed
to subsist very easily by cowing an
entire family and commanding abso-
Lutte obedience. One man he sent to
Tacoma and made him purchase am
munition and %reyolvers, threatening
to kill his entire family if he gave
the slightest alarm. The man even
borrowed money to give to Tracy.
1t will go hard with the convict
when he is caught. He is certainly
