Associate Justice McCOmas Lays
Down Law for the Guidance of
Street Car Patrons I'm the Case of
Frederick ShOrtsIeeveS Against the
Capital Traction Company

Transfers on street cars in Washington
are good only at designated transfer
points. and passengers who. having failed
to board the cars at transfer points. re-
fuse to pay their fares, may be elected
by the conductors.
To Frederick ShOTtsleeves. who at one
time doubted the correctness Of this prop
osition, the people Of Washington are in
debted for an authoritative declaration
Of their rights in the matter This dec
laration is laid down in decision rem
dered yesterday by Judge l. Z. Nc
Comas, Associate Justice Of the Court Of
Appeals.
Uses Wrong Transfer Point.
Shortsleeves charged that he was un-
lawfully elected from one of the cars Of
the Capital Traction Company on June
L. 1893. by the conductor of the car, who
refused to accept a valid transfer, which
Shortsleeves had received from the con-
ductor Of a Pennsylvania avenue car to
TO the f and G street branch of the street
car line.
The car company claimed that Short
sleeves was elected from an Z and G
street car because he boarded it At Fiji
teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue,
aud presented for his fare transfer
from the Pennsylvania avenue line. which
was not good at that point. The con-
ductor demanded the fare, which was re-
fused. whereupOn the conductor removed
him from the car.
The Jury i'm the lower court found for
the street car company, and ShOrtsleeves
appealed.
Conductor Has Right to Eject.
The court, in denying this question,
says:
The conductor had no authority TO
waive the condition OF this contract, while
Shortsleeves, by his refusal 20 pay a fare,
had forfeited the right 10 ride thereafter
on the transfer or 10 pay a fare and there
after remain on the car, OF, when elected,
TO board the car again and pay a fare and
continue thereon as d passenger.
The passengers right to transpOrta-
ton is no greater than the right and duty
of the conductor to enforce reasonable
rules in order TO prevent the company
from being defrauded.
After the conductors refusal to take
the transfer. which gave to Shortsleeves
no right TO ride on the F and q street car
until il reached Seventeenth street and
after the passenger had refused TO pay
fare. the conductor had a right TO eject
him.

Lake is in favoss. of the vacation
Of such streets and alleys, for
two reasons: First, because such
vacation Injuries no one, and
second, because it will be a
means of showing the Great
Northern railroad that the
citizens of Devils Lake ap-
preciate the l,cation Of these
shops here instead Of at Minot.
While the Inter- Ocean does
not think that the Great North
ern at this time is very iii ely to
remove its shops from this city
if the vacation of the streets
and alleys in question is not
ordered next Monday evening,
still it knows what happened to
Minot last spring for as little
reason as the Great Northern
W ,uld have to take similar
action here should the council
appear stubborn in this matter.
At st. Cloud some years ago
the citizens tried to take ad-
vantage Of the railroad in Just
such a way as it is believed the
council of this city may act next
Monday and the result was that
Me'rose was given the improve
ments promised st. Cloud.
Ev en- this is not the only rea-
S on why we should vacate the
streets and alleys as petitioned
by hundreds Of our residents,
citizens and property owners.
The other reason is that the
Great Northern is just now
seriously contemplating the
erection of car repair shops

THE CRISIS.

One of the most i'm portant
matters that the present or any
city council of Devils Lake was
ever called upon to decide,
comes up for action next Mon
day evening at eight o'clock at
the council chambers.
Ordinarily the matter would
not be considered so important,
but it has become SO for the
reason that certain members Of
the council have expressed
themselves as opposed to a
movement petitioned for by
hundreds Of the citizens Of
Devils Lake. =
This is the vacation Of streets
and alleys located in and near
the Great Northern shops and
yards. b

S. Il. Wineman has been in

going to close out his clothing

hereafter. Mr.. Winen1an owns
one of the best business locations
in the city, and has refused
several tempting offers for The
rental Of the bull ding but will
accept one of them when he
dispose of his present mann
moth stock. It was these offers
to rent that finally persuaded
him to go out of business. His

of the Inter- Ocean will tell of
what he intends to 90 within the
next few days. This iss d bona

freezing, in Florida, but one winter,

and by the following fall there was
nearly as much growth as before the
freeze.
The rapid destruction of the native
camphor forests Of the far East, and
the many new usese to which camphot

tate the planting Of large areas to
camphor trees unless a substitute can
be found.

Alfalfa.
Orlando, Fla.

We do not believe that our farmer
readers realize what they miss in not
having a patch of alfalfa. If you keep
any stock and have any use for green
forage, you should by all means sow
some alfalfa seed. If it is not more
than quarter of an acre, you will be
surprised at the amount OF feed which
it will furnish, and that too, of very
rich and desirable quality. It is not yet
too late to SOW it in this state. In
order to impress it's value upon you,
we again print evidence from farmers
in various parts Of the country, show
ing the high value set upon it by those
who have tested it.
The rapidity with which it has grown
into general popularity is clearly
shown by some figures taken from a
Kansas report and published in Farm
and Ranch:
Alfalfa the Wonderful, in Kansas
Alfalfa, that truly wonderful forage
plant, which is now a most important
factor in Kansas agricultural pros
perlty, has larger acreage than
ever before. According to the sworn
returns of assessors and county
clerks which are being tabulated in
the office Of the State Board of Agri-
culture, Kansas devoted 614, ,S13 acres
to alfalfa in 1906. This is gain Of
1928 acres over the previous year
lhe present acreage devoted to al
falfa seems remarkable when it is
considered that prior to 1891 it was a
stranger to Kansas, agriculture, at
least so far as official recognition in
the agricultural statistics of the Board
OF Agriculture was concerned, During

These statements and figures will
convey some idea Of the Importance
of alfalfa in the agriculture of Kansas,
and suggest that there will undoubt-
ed1y be no cessation of interest in a
crop so valuable and so readily adapt
able to well-nigh all sections and
localities.
There seems to be no abatement OF
interest in the development of alfalfa,
but on the contrary there is an in
sistent and almost clamorous demand
for more information and literature
on the subject. This desire for en-
lightenment knows no county or Sec
tional boundaries, but from all parts
Of the state (and, indeed, the entire
country the Kansas Board receives
queries as to the adaptability of this
legume to different localities and soils
Although it involves some repetition,
we think that a short report made by a
correspondent, Of Coleman's Rural
World, will give added weight to the
above figures:

Can1phor Trees.
Editor Florida Agricm1tuwist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Why not plant camphor trees in
Florida, and grow our own can1phor
gum at home? [ have raised thou
sands Of camphor trees in this state,
in the past fifteen years. I have also
seen the native forests in Asia and
in Formosa, but never saw any trees
grow more vigorously than those
which I have grown in Florida.
There have been some failures in at
tempts to grow camphor trees in this
state, but if I had followed the same
methods in preparing the soil and
planting the trees, should expect to
fail.
The seed should be gathered, as soon
as ripe, and when gathered should be
at once mixed with we'll pu1verized
soil, put into covered box, to keep
out mice, and kept in a dry house,
until March, in this latitude, when it
should be planted in nursery rows
about four feet apart and with about
twenty seeds Ito each foot Of row.
Cover one inch deep and press the
ground firm over the rows with the
feet. AS soon as the plants appear,
begin to cultivate, and do not allow
weeds to grow on the ground where
the seed bed is located
At the end of the growing season
take up all the trees and sort them in
to three Sizes keeping the largest and
best for home planting. The ground
should be prepared in the most
thorough manner, too much care can
not be exercised in putting the land in
to the best possible condition. The
trees having been heeled in through
the winter, March is the best time to
set them out. Begin by securing a
man with t-class two horse team
and a good fourteen inch steel plow,
have the burrows opened as deep as the
team is able to do, say ten inches,
then let man go along and with
spade throw OUT the soil to the
depth of twelve inches every ten feet.
Have men follow with the trees, if the
roots are more than ten inches long
have them cut back to that length, set
a tree in each place prepared, drawing
the earth in with the feet and tramping
it solid as they fill it in. Keep on in
this way until the whole field is plant
ed, ten by ten feet each way
Many will say that this is too close,
but from experience know that it is
better than greater distance When
We consider that the top is to be used
in the manufacture of camphor and
that in we'll grown grove we can be-
gin to cut back the top at the end of
the fourth year and from that time,

devoted 614, ,813 acres Of alfalfa in 1905.
This is a gain Of 12,253 acres over the
previous year. The present acreage
devoted to alfalfa seems remarkable
when it is considered that prior to
1891 it was stranger to Kansas agri-
culture, at least so far as official recog-
milton in the agricultural statistics of
the Board Of Agriculture was con-
cerned. During the first few years
that statistics Of acreage were COM
piled the increase from year to year
was little short of marvellous, but the
increase within the past few years,
except in 1900 and 1904, has been
steady and sure.
The increase of this years acreage
over that of it's statistical birth-year,
1891, is 1858 per cent. Alfalfa ranks
first in acreage Of tame grasses, its
nearest competitor, timothy, having
125,211 acres less in 1906. Jewell coun-
tvs area in alfalfa this year, Al ,903
acres, is the largest acreage ever
raised by one county and is larger
than that for the entire state in 1891.
Every county save Haskell Morton
and Stanton grows alfalfa.
The entire alfalfa acreage of the
largest producing counties was in 1891
less than one-half the acreage Of Nc
Pherson county in 1906, which ranks
tenth. In all, thirty-three counties each
devoted more land to alfalfa in 1906
than the total of the ten largest pro-
ducing counties in 1891.
These statements will convey some
idea Of the Importance Of alfalfa in the
agriculture Of Kansas, and suggests
that there will undoubtedly be no ces-
sation Of interest in crop so valuable
and SO readily adaptable to we'll nigh
all sections and localities.
There seems to be no abatement Of
interest in the development of alfalfa,
but, on the contrary, there is an insist
ent and almost c1amorous demand for
more information and literature on the
subject This desire for enlightenment
knows no county or sectional bounda
ries, but from all parts of the state the
Kansas Board receives queries as to the
adaptability of this legume to different
localities and soils
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker, writing from Ohio, tells some
of his experience i'll growing alfalfa as
follows:
Objections to Alfalfa Answered.
The quotation in The R. N.Y., from
the Maryland Farmer (page 707) starts
a multitude of thoughts regarding the
plant. The tone of it is adverse to
its propagation, in line Of so much that
was published few years ago. The
