Building Transfer Platform-On
account of the increasing Importance
Of Jamestown as q transfer point for
freight the N. P. Co: is building a
transfer platform in the west yards
the platform being l6 feet wide and
400 feet long. This will save great
deal of work at the city freight house
where the transfers have heretofore
been done and aill relieve the over
urowded .coEditios Of the freight
house. An immense amount OF
freight for the branch lines has to be
re-assor ed and shipped from here.

A Ho1d-up-A robbery Of a watch
and money from Leslie Jenkinson oc-
Cured Wednesday night near Shain's
hotel. From the story of the victim
it appears that he was accosted about
II p. m. by two parties on the corner
near The f. and NJ. bank and after
some friendly remarks from the men,
they offered Jenkinson drink which
he accepted. He afterwards went to
the Shain hotel where he boards. and
then came back to Bertel's restau-
rant where he ate lunch. The
two men were at the building and
after finishing his lunch Jenkinson
started to leave the restaurant where
he collapsed by. the door and was
helpless. 1t looked as If he had been
"doped'' as he was not intoxicated.
The two men happened 10 and said
they we're friends of the man and
offered to take him to ms boarding
place which they did.
One of the men was afterwards ar
rested by the night policeman, and
the watch was found between the
restaurant and the adjoining build
ing bur the money claimed to be S25,
could not be found in possession of
the man. After taking the watch 1t
was evidently thrown away for fear
of detection by the parties who got
it from Jenkinson, who is clcrk'ng
for H. Nu1nberg. A hearing was
given one of them Thursday afternoon
at Justice Bigelows office. He gave
bis name as. E. Smith, and the police
state that on former occasion he gave
the name of Baldwin, and that he
has been in trouble and in jail be
fore. William Howard was sum
moned as witness In the case.

PLANT i few WILLOWS.
The Golden Willow Is One Of tho
Best varlsttss For North
Dakota.

Dakota.
Supt. Thompson of the Edgely Ex-
pertinent Station says: The Golden
Willow is proving TO- be one OF our
most hardy, rapid growing and val
liable plants for shelter belt and for
ornamental planting. This willow
grows well upon .-either.hjgh Or low
land :.apd is very attractive when
grown as a hedge and trimmed In an
orna mental form. During the past
season, there has been no one thing
that has attracted more attention at
the Experiment Station than the
beautiful Golden Willow hedges which
were trimmed in variety Of forms.
The bright golden color of the bark
gives a pleasing effect In the winter
months of the year when the
branches of the plant are bare OF
leaves.
The ease with which it may be
started and cared for should be an
incentive for more extensive plant
ing of this beautiful and valuable
plant. The cuttings should be set
early in the spring in soil which has
been well prepared by plowing to a
good depth and well smoothed by the
harrow. Great care should be exer-
cised in 6rming the soil about the
cuttings with the foot after they
have been placed in the ground, for
should this important point be neg.
lected, many Of the cuttings NAV die
from the effects of the air coming IN
contact with the lower portions OF
the cuttings where the roots are
forming. Set the cuttings at slight
angle, leaving two or three Of the
buds above ground. The soil should
be cultivated Immediately after
planting.and throughout tlse.:srowing
season each year to preserve the soil
moisture for the plants. Allow the
plants to grow without pruning for
two or three years after planting
then cut back..to the ground so they
will make a dense growth. When
grown for an ornamental hedge, the
cuttings should be set ten inches
apart for q shelter belt. An iron dib.
Der made of three quarter inch iron
with handle shaped after the manner
OF a spade is a. very convenient tool
to aid in setting the plants. The
lover end OF the dibber should be
sixteen inches in length, round aud
pointed.
a strong objection, is made some
times to the Golden Willow on ac-
count of worms being troublesome IN
destroying the foliage of the plant.
Should the worms be allowed to en-
tirely strip the plant of leaves. the
willows will soon die. Most all trees
are frequently attacked by these
pests during the summer months, bat
thorough spraying with Paris green
at needed intervals readily destroys
the worms. One pound of Paris green
to one hundred gallons OF water will
prove of sufficient strength for the
purpose. Z, !,

Crossing Dangers.

Two street cars came together at the
corner of 9th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. yesterday morning as the result of a
misunderstanding of signals and in the
smash two passengers were injured, one
rather seriously. This is not the first acct
dent of the kind and it will not be the last,
as long as the present system prevails of
motormen exchanging their own signals
without guidance by third person. 1t is a
dangerous method and should be sup
planted by the installation of fiagmen. The
crossings policemen might easily be utilized
for this purpose. They are at present Of
no use whatever in respect to the preven-
ton Of collisions between cars, combining
themselves to the business Of escorting
feeble pedestrians across the tracks and
preserving order.
The possibility Of misunderstood signals
Is always imminent. The motormen are
naturally eager to move ahead and it often
happens that they cross bells, each
claiming the right of way. Collisions are
averted by very narrow margins. The cars
are sent over the crossings on mine points"
Of the controller, or full speed, in order to
jump the cut-offs in the conductor rails.
Thus unless the motormen are very spry
with their brakes they are likely to bump.
No lives have yet been lost in Washington
in consequence Of the lack Of fagmen, but
this is merely a matter Of good luck. It
should not require a coroner's inquest to
bring about a reform which will reduce the
danger at these points to the minimum.

Senatorial Contt SITS.

It's winters senatorial contests are pro-
crossing rather more smoothly than usual.
OF the thirty vacancies scheduled to occur
on the 4th of March twenty five have been
filed by the actual election Of a senator
or by nomination in party caucus or by the
vote of the people at a primary, serving as
a guarantee of election by the legislature.
The states which have thus acted and put
the chance of deadlock behind them are
Michigan, Delaware, Georgia, Arkansas.
Kentucky. New Hampshire, Kansas Tennes-
see. Montana, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ore
gon, Idaho, West Virginia. Louisiana, Maine.
Mississippi. Virginia. Nebraska, Alabama,
Minnesota. Colorado, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Vermont. OF the Eve remain
ing states there are actual contests now In
progress In New Jersey. South Dakota and
Rhode Island. Senator Bailey's troubles In
Texas are not quite over, but bis re-elec-
ton is predicted. In Iowa there Is some
question about the return of Senator Dolli-
yer, but his success is confidently expected
by his friends. In New Jersey Senator Dry
denis majority In his own party Is very
heavy, but the party's margin on joint bal
lot is so slender that slight detection may
cause his defeat. unless he secures demo-
cratic votes. At the same time there is
possibility that democrat may secure
enough republican votes to gain the prize.

Working Women. and Children

1t Is useless to close the eyes to the fact
that certain phases of the Industrial stu
alton I'm this country are aggravating the
social problems with which earnest men
and women are now graphing in an effort
TO lessen the undenable evils of our cftv
life. Due, in large degree, to the almost
unrestrained immigration of many years.
and the practical absence Of intelligent
restrictive or regulative legislation, millions
OF women and children are now employed
in occupations which menace their future
usefulness to the state and tend to their
development disturbing elements. Chill
dren who labor In unwhosesome conditions
grow into morally and physically stunted
men and women. Women who are thrust
10y their necessities into sweat shops and
packing houses are likely % contribute to
the next generation either nothing At all or
else children seriously Handicapped in the
race
The cumulative effect OF these forces in
our social system il certain TO be dis .strous
II not checked Work is being done to
counteraci this demoralizing tendencv. Or
CARNATIONS have been formed in all parts
OF the country to secure legislation, and
brave missionaries of right living have gone
down into the slums to establish stan,' ards
for the instruction of the poor. On the
legislative side progress has been w be-
cause the propaganda has been opposed by
the tremendous power OF invested capital.
On the other side the achievements are
purely local and individual and do not
reach the fundamental causes. One of the
most serious obsta 'es to progress l. ,as-
tinctively curative work has been the indif-
ference of the well-to-do rs mass. 1t is
next to impossible to persuade the voters OF
the country that the industrial conditions
regarding women and children are menac-
ing to the peace and welfare of all classes
ef people. They do not believe that the
problem is serious. They unpersuaded
as to its extent because they have not been
supplied with the facts.

A Lengthening Tale of Distress.

The Kingston horror grows in magnitude
with each fresh batch of dispatches. 1t is
now plain that both in point of property
destruction and loss of life the catastrophe
ranks with the great calamities of world
history. Whereas the early reports placed
the deaths at a few score, there is now evil
dence that more than a thousand people
were either crushed by falling buildings or
cremated in the con1agration which fol-
lowed. Had the disaster been confined to
the earthquake itself and the fire it would
have been bad enough, but there are rea-
sons to fear that the seismic CONFUSION has
that Kingston itself may slide into the sea-
Already there has been such a serious SUBJ
sidence that the shore line has been ma
terially changed and the survivors are liv-
Ing In danger OF catastrophe so vast as to
throw all that has heretofore occurred into
insignificance.
Through the dispatches runs a note of
complaint that the people are Indifferent to
their sad plight, and are unwilling to work
to clear up the wreckage and begin the
task of reconstruction. Thus does Kings
ton stand conspicuously in contrast with San
Francisco. where the relief work was prose-
cuted with vigor which undoubtedly saved
many lives, and the rebuilding spirit seized
the population even before the ruins were
cold. The native Jamaicans are of a totally
different stripe from the empire builders
who conquered the American frontiers and
created great city upon the Pacific coast

Rocking Chair and Cigar Diplomacy.

Mr.. Root will enjoy himself in Canada,

visit to Central and South America last
year was in its way a triumph He In MS
office is the stronger for it, and the coun-

press and the statesmen of our southern
neighbors has benefited. There is no rec
ord of better state of feeling between
what is called Latin-America and the
United States than now exists. Mr.. Root
on his journey voiced everywhere Dotn ms
own good will and that of his country TO-
ward all the people of this hemisphere, ana
the result was gratifying TO everybody IN
interest. The effect will probably be last

In Canada the Secretary of State Will
meet people of his own tongue. and of a
mode of thought much akin to that of his
own people. This should make for ease on
both sides He scarcely needs an intro
duction He knows the Canadians, and
they him. Moreover, although busy since
entering the State Department with so
many questions, Mr.. Root is familiar
with all the questions that remain I'M
settled between Canada and this coun-
try, and can discuss them offhand with the
Canadian officials. Why should not his
visit bear excellent and lasting fruit?
We introduced what for time was called
"shirtsleeves diplomacy" We discarded
some of the old formalites and solemnltles
and went straight and somewhat bluntly TO
the point Europe first sneered at the inno-
walton. but after awhile conceded that IL
possessed merit, and then complimented US
by adopting in some measure the new style
herself. John Hay opened her eyes by his
frank and natural methods of conducting
negotiations.
