Testing the Soil.

An important investigation IS be-
ing carried on by the Reclamation
Service to determine the best method
of reclaiming the alkai lands on the.
Carson River.
The plan entails the installing of
ten acres of alkaH lands typical in
texture to the general farm lands
now being entered by the farmers,
with underdrains for teaching out
the alkali, and the preparation of
another ten acres for flooding
copiously with water without un-
derdrains.
The lands selected are not only the
typical farm lands met in this but
in other projects that are threatened
with alkali. The data collected will
be of much interest in that the re-
suits will demonstrate the best pro-
cess of handling farm lands that
are too salty for profitable cultiva-
ton.
This is the first step of the kind
taken by the Government and will
be of very great value in the futh-
'erance of the several irrigation
projects undertaken by the Govern
ment in reclaiming the arid west.

Rotary. Addresses were made by Isaac
Petersberger, Meyer Stone, NJ. Plotkin

sion was the contemplated increase
of the street peddIer's license from
$25 to $50. This advance would affect
is peddlers who reside in Davenport,
and prove to be a real hardship TO
them. The association adopted a reso-
luton against the contemplated in
crease, and also decided to circulate
petitions addressed to the city council
asking it not to increase the license
for general signatures for peddlers
who reside in the city. These peti-
lions will be presented at the next
meeting of the city council, at which
session also the Fruit Vendors asso-
citation will be present in a body.

New Tack in Library Suit.

A new tack has been taken by c. G..
Hipwell and the Davenport Heating &
Plumbing company, in the suit which
they commenced some time ago to pre-
vent the city from allowing the library
trustees to spend for books the sum of
$4,000 or SO left in the library site
fund. AS the plaintiffs in the case
have not shown how they expect to
have this money diverted to paying
their claims against Contractor Mason
and the Northern Building company,
It has been taken for granted that they
were acting as patriotic and disinter-
ested citizens in thus dragging the pub
lie library into court And it is appaT-
emily in this same role that they now
demand personal judgment against
the members of the board of library
trustees. for 1889, because the trus-
tees advanced money from the library
maintenance fund to complete the IL
brary building. that it might be finish
cd and opened for use without calling
upon the Davenport tax payers for
more money.

to the lowest for the twelve months
period and. indeed, for recent years.
