he declared. "In fact, Holland Is the only
large and distinct industry. A dry. sandy
SOIL and even climatic conditions are es-

Virginia. But as an exclusive business the
United States cannot lay claim to daffodil
farming.
I'm this country the changes of climate
do not agree with these plants. The bulbs
must be set In the fall, covered SO as to
maintain an even temperature throughout
me winter, and in the spring, when the
poisoning time Is at hand, rainfall, sun
shine and mildness must occur with abso-
lutte regularity. Otherwise no bulbs will

lold as beautifully here as in Holland; but

WELLS FARGO AND THE PACIFIC
Both Companies Now Operating
Over the Salt Lake Route.

Word comes from the East that the
Pacific Express Company has secured
the contract to operate over the new
Salt Lake route. This cannot be veri-
fled here. However, it is interesting to
note that the Pacific operates on all
lines in Utah and Nevada, of the Salt
Lake route. and Wells Fargo Company
takes in the California mileage. The
Pacific is a Gould Company and the
Wells Fargo is a Hartman concern.
Hartman, if he could, would elimi-
nate the Pacific from all his lines, but
the Pacific is tied up with long contracts
made when Gould controlled the Union
Pacific. On the other hand, Harri-
mans Wells-Fargo has a franchise on
the Gould Rio Grande lines, deal be-
tween the old express companies of the
two Rio Grandes and Wells Fargo. 1t
is mixed up surely, but California
would like to have the Pacific.-Reno
