SUBWAY
FRANCHISES
Metropolitan Street Railway Is
Prepared TO Bid for Future
Extensions Into Bronx.

New York, Dec. ls.---Onficial announce
ment was made yesterday that the Met
ropolitan Street railway is prepared TO
bid for future extensions OF the subway
system In Manhattan and the Bronx
contemplated by the Rapid Transit com
mission.
The commission has under considera-
tion not only extensions OF the line now
approaching completion, but also the
construction OF additional routes on the
East and West Sides OF the city and the
building OF at least one moro tunnel 10
Brooklyn.
In comparatively a short time these
extensions will be authorized. and the
Metropolitan company apparently real
ICES that should these new roads go to
the Belmont Mcdonald syndicate that
company, with its acquisition OF the Ele
waited railroad and with its entry into
Brooklyn, would largely control the city
railroad situation. 20 the Metropolitan's
detrment.
A statement in regard 10 the company's
intentions was made yesterday by Thomas
r. Ryan, speaking for the Metropolitan
street railway interests This statement
said: THE Metropolitan Securities com
the stock OF the Inter-urban Street Rail-
way company, now controls the entire
Metropolitan street railway system. Is not
anxious 10 add to It's responsibilities. At
the same time we realize that the control
OF all the surface lines I'm Manhattan and
the Bronx places us under n grave re-
sponsibility 10 the city ana the public.
MUST BUILD TUNNELS.
1--WE appreciate that IL is our duty TO
take advantage OF every opportunity to
increase our facilities. In this situation
II seems that the only relief possible
must come from the construction Of tun-
nels. Metropolitan interects are prepared
to become competitors for the construc-
tion and operation OF a rapid transit fun
mel on Manhattan island in connection
with their system OF over four hundred
miles of surface lines. provided the Rapid
Transio commission will lay out a routs
which will meet the requirements OF the
situation and the terms OF the contract
prescribed by the commission do not place
undue burdens"
IL has been generally understood that
the Metropolitan, had Il wished. could
have had the contract for the Manhattan
subway three years ago, but did not bid
because IL disliked some OF the terms OF
the contract. The Metropolitan refused to
bid and the work went 10 John II. Nc
Donald. President ". ~. Nreeland said
then that he was glad the subway was to
be built. because II would relieve his lines

uation has changed.
In the letting OF new contracts the Rap
Ia Transit commission IL no longer sway
ed by the monetary amount OF the bids
submitted. As In the case OF the Brooklyn
extension. future contracts will be award
ed TO the company which can offer tho

EXPERIMENT WITH ALFALFA.
cattlemen on the South Dakota
Ranges will Try Raising Alfalfa.

cattlemen on the South Dakota
Ranses will Try Raising Alfalfa.
Cattlemen on the great ranges be-
tween the Missouri river and the
Black Hills, in western South Dakota,
are paying more attention than here
tofore to the important question of
hay for winter feed.
This is a matter which vitality affects
that entire region, comprising about
1900, 900 acres. Those who have in
vestigated the matter have come to
the conclusion that the final solution
Of the problem is, to a great extent,
in the growing of alfalfa-the king of
forage plants.
Some of the cattlemen along the
water-course especially those whose
ranches are on White river, have ex-
perimented with the growing of al
falfa, and these experiments have
proven that the great ranges Of the
state are we'll adapted to it. The Ok
periments carried on by the cattlemen
show that land which produces one
ton of wild hay per acre will readily
>produce two or three tons of alfalfa
each season.
The South Dakota cattlemen have
also discovered that when they &C
company their shipments of cattle to
eastern markets that cattle raised in
| Colorado and other western states.
where corn is scarce, and which are
fattened on alfalfa hay alone, or a
mixture of alfalfa and beet pulp, sell
as readily as corn fed animals and
command as good prices.
The result will be that the cattle
men of the great ranges of western
| South Dakota will quite generally en-
gagged in the growing of alfalfa and
thus have an abundance of feed for
their herds.
During the past year several thous-
and homesteaders have settled west
of the Missouri river in the region
heretofore occupied exclusively by
the cattlemen and their herds. If
farming proves a success, others will
follow them, and the area over which
the herds of the cattlemen now Craze
will be greatly curtailed.
But with vast alfalfa fields, the cat
tleraisers will not need so much ter
ritory for their herds to roam over,
and instead of the stockmen ultimate
ly being driven out of business by the
encroaching homesteaders, as has
been predicted would be the case, al
falfa may prove to be their salvation
by enabling them to care for their
herds on smaller areas of land.
