Larger Sleeping Car Berths.

One of the few railroad companies
that owns and operates the sleeping
cars in service on it's lines, Is the
Chicago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul.
The sleeping cars on that line were
formerly Pullman cars, operated by
the Pullman Company, but for
dozen years past the railway company
has owned and operated the sleeping
car equipment. In building it's sleep
ing cars, departure from the old
standard pattern Of cars has been
made to the extent of adding about
six inches to the width and height
of the sleepers. This permits OF
wider and higher berths. Length has
also been added 70 berths, SO that
comfort is found in them which Is
lacking In ordinary sleeping cars.
These large cars are in service on
practically all Of the lines Of the st.
Paul Road, and are very popular with
the travelling public.

The Tomato Crop in Maryland.

w. Grason Winterbottom, member
of one of the largest fruit-packiug firms
i'm the county, states that the tomato
acreage about Cambridge and through
out Dorchester county, MS gathered
from conservative and reliable estin-
ates is from 40 to 80 per cent. less than
that Of last year, which is attributedto
the low price Of contract tomatoes, as
compared with last seassn's prices, and
the low price realized by farmers
last year who grew tomatoes on the
omen market. The crop generally is
not looking as well as it usually does
at this season, and the outlook is that
the pack will be far less than that of
the two proceeding seasons.
Several packinghouses in that coun-
tv will not operate at all As Dorches-
Ter puts up about one-third of the pack
of the State and about one-twelfth OF
the entire country, the short pack

Wrong Impression About Street Sprink.
ling.

The public of the town of Milford is
resting under a false impression in re-
gard to sprinkling the streets, which
has been brought about by persons
making statements without any facts
to back them up. In the first instance
the ladies of the New Century Club
started the ball moving, by criticising
the Town Council for failure to use the
street sprinkler to deep down dust at
all times. This was taken up by the
various local editors of the "News and
Advertiser" and last week the follow
ing paragraph emphasized the dense
ignorance of the conditions of facts by
the writer in that paper, of the condi'
tions under which street sprinklng is
done in small cities and towns. 1t
reads as follows:
"This sprinkler was purchased by the
! people of Milford to be used in Keeping
4 the dust down and it should be so used
/ There has not been a week this sum'
mer when it has been so badly needed
! for this purpose as the present.
looks as though some one is transcend
ing their authority"
The facts are as follows: The Town
Council of Milford pay annually to the
Light and Water Commission $1,000 fol
fire plug tax, and the use of water fol
street sprinkling purposes was notcon'
templated in that agreement, Hence
should the Town Council assume thai
the right existed. and proceeded to as'
the water for that purpose, there woulC
be a demand made for more money
from the town treasury for that pur
pose. The street sprinkler was pur
chased for the express purpose Of build
ing macadam roadways, and not t'
sprinkle the streets for the convenience
of the public; unless the public Is VIII
ing to guarantee the payment Of tn
additional water rents and the cost o
operating the sprinkler, which woul'
approximate 56 per day,
If the policy ofspriukling the street
free was put into operation, the reyenu
f from the wash payes would be almos
. wiped out. as most users would Gu
them out.
The fact is forcing itself for reeogn
ton, that a water tax should be lald o
! every propertygn the town, instead c
paying the light and Water Commi'
f sion $1,000 per year from the genera
fund All would pay alike then.
