- Patrons of the Towson Gainesville cleo
trio line complain about the bad condition of
the cars, which they declare are old and dilapi-
dated, with flat wheels that make riding in

company will have something better to offer
by the time spring arrives.

"a good many persons are looking for
small properties to rent or buy, but in almost
every case they make the proviso that they
must be located on near steam or electric
railways. We will have to get more trolley
limos through tho country. 1t is plain that as
matters now are every man cannot have rail-
road at his door.

THE UNION is indebted to Mr.. ]. S.
Kirkwood, of the Navy Department, Wash
ington, D. c., for an official copy of the regis
ter of the commissioned and warrant officers
of the Navy of the U. s. and of the Marine
Corps" Mr. Kirkwood, who was formerly a

"a farmer, speaking this week of growing
clover, said that he had been able to secure but
one ''set" in ten years. Some experienced
farmers declare that lime and barnyard ma
nure contain the elements that produce clover
and say that without their use it is next to i'm
possible to grow it. To see field of good
clover in Baltimore county these days is a
rarity.
@The phenomenal advance in the price of
property along the line of the Belair road has
caused many people to open their eyes with
almost drug in the market now sells readily
from $500 to $500 an acre and many acres
have gone as high as 81 600 This is what the
electric railway has done for that section of
the county.
> Stockholders of the Baltimore and Har-
ford, Baltimore and Jerusalem, Baltimore and
Yorktown and Charles Street Avenue Turn
pike companies met on Wednesday at the
United Railways Company's offices in Balti-
more, and re elected the old directors, who in

MES are all controlled by the United Railways
and Electric Company.
Mot so much is heard Just now of the
Ioposed electric railway between BeaiT air, and
Bb%.s}ectors of it should push matters ahead and
prois save the loss of time and money. These
thu progressive days and those who fail to
keep up with the procession will soon be listed
in the 'back number" class.
= We hope the project of building the
electric railway from Towson to Cockeysville
will not be dropped. 1t is matter in which
the people are deeply interested and it must
not be held in allegiance. Trolley lines are
spreading out in other sections of the country
and the people are reaping the benefit of them
in the way of cheapened fares and freights to
say nothing of the benefits of rapid transit.
IA Baltimore county man who advertised
in THE UNION for tenant for his farm was
overrun with applicants, but as he is very
particular man he was long time finding just
the person to suit him. In this he succeeded
finally, however. He concluded his talk on
the subject by saying: Take my advice and
don't put any money in a farm that you are
obliged to rent, for it is the worst paying in
vestment a man can possibly make"
THE incorporators of the Towson and
Cockeysville Electric Railway Company pub
lish notice in the advertising columns of
THE UNION today announcing the places where
books will be open to receive subscriptions to
the capital stock of the company. The build
ing of this line will prove of inestimable value
to the community and it is hoped the gentle
men at the head of the enterprise may receive
the encouragement their efforts deserve.
