The olive that the bartender drops
into the popular cocktail is an old
campaigner. Wine drinkers thousands
of years ago liked IL. and for centuries
no banquet has bess considered com
plete without it.
The tree, oiea Europea. Is not only
one OF the oldest trees known to natu.
ralists. but its longevity and produc
tivity are astounding Several OF
these trees over twenty feet in cir

tific calculation OF foot for cen.
tury, must have been bearing fruit be
fore the Savior walked and talked on
the mount of Olives.
The olive has been symbol in
more than one mythology. The dove
bringing the branch to the ark gave
it to the imagination of the Orient as
an emblem of peace or confidence re
stored. Among the Greeks 1t vas the
sign of peace and the placid power of
wisdom.
Though a native of Syria. and pos
sibly of southern Greece, the olive
hourishes anywhere in a mild climate
Western Asia, southern Europe, north

America, Mexico-in all these places
the olive grows readily. taking on an
average seven years before bearing

labor is needed in the cotton fields.
The fruit is too bitter to eat unless

acorn to large plum. it is gathered

The board Of public works has in
timated that the matter will be taken
into the courts to decide who shall
pay for regarding the avenue or
whether the street car tracks shall
be raised.
The street car company answers
with the statement that the legal
department asserts that the courts
will sustain the engineer in laying
the tracks to the established grade.
A communication to this effect will
be sent the board by the company to-
morrow or Monday.
All along where the street car COM
pany is laying the new tracks on
the North Side there are similar COM
plants from property owners who
have had the streets ruined in front
of their property through the action
of the Washington Water Power COM
pany.

At Indiana and Cedar a reverse
condition exists. Instead of lowering
the tracks at this crossing, they have
been raised. forming an obstruction
to teams and pedestrians which Sc
riously interferes with the traffic at

A small riot occurred at the Hal
stead and Forty-fifth street entrance
to the yards at noon as the result Of
the appearance of rs strike breakers

them, but the police dispersed the

were taken to the police station where
1t was explained that the negroes
from the yards refused to work for
the packers, having been brought in
under false pretences. None were Sc

of which terminated in any fatality.

The company further insisted that
If the tracks were laid on the present
grade 1t would be in the power of any
property owner on the street to en-
force the established grade, which
would mean that later the rails would
have to be torn out and the track
relaid.
The question considered by the
board this morning is as to who will
have to pay the cost of regarding the
street, or whether the street car COM
pany can be forced to raise the tracks
to conform to the present grade.
At this time the board is depending
upon the law which provides for lay
ing the tracks flush with the grade.
The car company is depending upon
the engineers showing that the street
is higher than the legal grade. The
property owners are depending upon
nothing but the fact that their once
pretty driveway has been ruined and
that they are likely to be called upon
to pay once more fore the careless
ness of official taxeaters who don't
know their business.
