Not of Slow Growth

Walter Thomas of this city, an
authority on pecan trees, in letter
to the Times Union on pecan cul-
ture, has the following among other
things to say regarding the pecan:
"A pecan tree is not "a slow, but a
very rapid growing tree under
favorable conditions. A grated
tree for some unknown reason seems
to grow much faster than a Seeding
tree, bears earlier, is more certain of
II crop and you are not disappointed
in the nut when it begins bearing.
Many seedlings do not bear under
twelve to fifteen years, and at this
late date produce a nut about the
size of small birds egg. If you
your time planting the seed or put
ting out Seeding trees expecting to
graft them later. Grated trees at
$l.OO to $500 each may seem high,
but they are the cheapest in the end,
and your trees in grove will be uni
form in size, which is a big advan-
tage in cultivating, etc. GRATED
pecan trees three to six feet high on
one or two year-old stock, grown on
sandy land, properly taken up and
carefully set in reasonably good
sandy soil with same care given an
orange tree, will at an early date
make you proud of your investment.
Unless you are a nurseryman do not
try to grow them from the seed, or
you will find many difficulties to
overcome"

A. d. Tucker of Florahome and
Heinrich Miller of Grandin appeared
before the county commissioners last
Tuesday to protest against the public
road now being built to haywood
from the former place. Mr.. Tucker
made good talk in favor of the route
to run south of the G. ). q F. R'y
track, and had map showing its
feasibility. He also presented pro-
test against the route to the north Of
the track signed by rs property hold
ers of Florahome and Grandin.
But Mr.. Miller got very much eX-
cited. He Stormed like n mad bull
and for a time the members of the
board thought he was going to finish
by eating them all. Miller insisted
that there had been crooked work
and there is no knowing what he
would have charged had not Chair
man Fearnside made him sit down.
The board deliberated over the road
for some time and finally concluded
to sustain Commissioner Strickland
in the route he had chosen to the
north of the railroad, as being the
cheaper as well as the most practical.
Heinrich Miller didn't cool off un-
til after supper.

Deprived of License Papers.

In the recent investigation as to
the cause of the sinking of the steam
err Metamora in the Ocklawaha river
last March, the local inspectors of
steam vessels held that the engineers
were culpable. They therefore sus-
pended the chief engineer, F. f.
Rossigno!, for one year, and revoked
the license of Fred Priest, assistant
engineer, altogether.
Friends of these men think that
they were treated unfairly on the
grounds that they were not on trial
and were given no opportunity to
put in a defense. On the other hand
Capt. Lucas states that the proceed
ings We're simply to investigate and
determine the cause of the accident
and that these men were found to
have been negligent, and being neg
ligent of duty was cause for their
suspension and the revocation OF
of license.
1t is certain that there was no more
industrious worker to save the lives
of passengers than Fred Priest.

Big MERGER STORY.
One Report That Atchlson and Rock
Island Were In a Deal.
THE ERIE ALSO INTERESTED.

Wall street had a big day yesterday
on the Stock Exchange, with transac-
tions of more than a million and a half
of shares, says the New York Herald.
Excitement ran high. and there was
no end of rumors in circulation re-
garding consultations in the railroad
world. Interest was centered chiefly
in Rock Island, Atchison and Eric, and
the trading in these stocks vas accom-
panied by a multitude of reports of
deals and mergers which, if carried
out, would have given Attorney Gen
'eral Knox sufficient work for years to
come in testing their legality.
OF the many reports in circulation,
there was one which caused bankers
to hesitate before expressing an opin-
ion as to its authenticity. Information
reached the Herald from a source us.
ually reliable, that a railroad deal of
vast Importance was pending between
the great Atchison system and the re-
Gently r~eorganized Rock Island COM
pany, by which the latter would speed
lily it's control of the Atchi-
son.
1t was said the dominant interests in
both companies had decided to pool
their interests, and that, by an inter-
change OF securities, q harmony of in
terest between the two great compet-
ing properties would be established.
AS to the details of the scheme,
there were none, and denials were
made by Atchison directors that any
such scheme was on foot. In other
quarters, however, it was stated with
equal ~positiveness that the deal was
pending between the two manage
ments, and that as a result the Rock
Island system would reach the Pacific
coast. In fact, the authorities who
maintained this belief were so positive
in their views that they told their
friends the success of the alliance was
already assured. Along what lines the
end would be attained there was no in
formation available. No banking
names were mentioned in connection
with the scheme or sources from
WHICH the luHus necessary 10 carry out
the plan could be obtained.
In connection with the Rock Island
story, it was g%ossiped that it was ne
gotiating for a trafic alliance with the
Erie, by which it would obtain an east
ern outlet to the Atlantic seaboard. II
was said hat ID. G. Reid, w. b. Leeds,
w. Fl. Moore and j. II. Moore and other
Rock Island interests had acquired
large holdings in Erie, and that they
would procure representation in the
board of directors of that company. In
banking quarters connected with the
Erie railroad, this story was denied.
1t was generally accepted, however,
that j. p. Morgan & Co. was at work
upon a plan for either the betterment
or the disposition of the Erie. Bank
ers and brokers, who watched the re-
cent heavy trading in the Erie stock,
were unqualified in their declarations
that some scheme was being worked
out, but the only hint of it's possible
future. which was given n credence
was that the Lackawanna might ulti-
mately become the owner of the fam
Erie.

NEW ANT FE N
Surveyors Said to Be Working Toward
Trinidad, Colo.

'tt'uGa, Nv
1t is reported from Dodge City, Kan,
that a party of Santa Fe surveyors is
working in that vicinity, supposedly
running a line from Dodge City to
Trinidad, Colo.
The object of such a line would be
to shorten the distance from Chicago
to the coast, and at the same time to
avoid some of the heavy grades en-
countered on the line from La Junta to
Trinidad. The surveying party is now
reported to be in Beaver county, Okla,
but what they are doing there is some
what of a mystery if the destination of
the survey is really Trinidad. To strike
Oklahoma would take the line u of
the most direct route. There is reason
to believe that if a new line is being
planned, it will not be to Trinidad, but
to some other objective point which
is being concealed.
When some of the chief officials of
the Santa Fee operating department To-
Gated in Topeka were asked about
this rumor, they professed ignorance
that any survey is being made.
Perhaps it is the Santa Fe that is
making the surveys, said n of the
officials. They are said to be plan
ming a line out there somewhere"
Another stated that if any new line
is being surveyed, the work is all I'M
der the charge of Chief Engineer Dun
and President Ripley, nothing having
been said about the plans to Topeka
officials.

Uses Herplcide Successfully in Treat

ING Sycosis OF the 6eard.

There was an extensive loss of beard
with Inflammation extending well
down on the chin. The result of the
