| Los Angeles, Cal, Dec 17-'tPresident
RiPley never did say he would not put
a dollar in the west. When the active
head of the Santa Fe system was ono
ted in this wise several months before
the present financial stringency, an in
Justice was done Mr.. Ripley by the in
terviewer.
Mr.. Ripley thinks well of the west,
anu especially of California. What he
did say at that time was that condi-
lions would not justify the expenditure
OF large sums for improvements as
contemplated. Mr.. Ripley foresaw the
s Stiiusehcy tnat came afterward, and
he was simply acting the part of the
wise business man.
w. b. Storey, Jr., chief engineer of
the Santa Fe, the man who planned
the San francisco terminals of the
great system, built the Belen cutoff.
and who has practically rebuilt the
lines or the company since he has been
at the head of the engineering depart
ment, defined President Ripley's policy
In the above quoted words last night
Mr.. Storey came down from San
francisco yesterday and is staying at
the Alexandria hotel in Los Angeles.
An important piece of news that he
brings is the statement that the Santa
F'e line over the Cajon Pass may be
double-tracked at an early date.
Traffic over the Cajon Pass has
grown enormously in the last few
years, and as we are handling the Salt
LAM II 1IlC III duQlllOn TO our own, 1t
VIII become necessary eventually to
double track the line" said Mr.. Stor-
ey. When this will be done, 1 cannot
say, as all improvements are neces-
sar1ly stopped just now because of the
financial situation. But these condi-
tons will not continue very long. and
the work on Cajon Pass will be taken
up at the earliest possible moment"
MI storey says the grade over the
pass, which is about per cent in
places will be reduced when the line
is rebuilt, and, though the distance
may be increased slightly, the grade
will be cut to a per cent maximum.
improvements on the line between
Los Angeles and San Diego will be
held in allegiance for the present. he
declares, but the work on the line be-
tween Orange and San Bernardino will
be completed. and this road will be
placed In excellent condition
1t may be two years before the Belen
cutoff VIII be used for transcontinental
passenger trains. Discussing this i'm
portant link in the system, Mr.. Storey
said:
THE cutoff is completed, but the line
down through Oklahoma and New
Mexico will have to be rebuilt entirely
We expect to ship oranges over the
new route this winter, but fast passen-
ger traffic will not be attempted until
the roadbed has been thoroughly bal
lasted and heavy steel has been SUBJ
stituted for that now in use"
Mr.. Storey will remain in Los An
geles several days and will inspect the
lines in southern California
before he returns to Chicago.

KATY AXE FALLS.
Men Let Out and Line of Work Is
Decreased

McA1ester, Okla, Dec. 1.-THE re-
trenchment axe has fallen with more
force in Denison than at any time
since the financial scare spread over
the country. At ore fell swoop the axe
has chopped off about fifty men in tho
Katy car shops, and effective this
week five days will constitute weeks
work. The car shops were practically
clos ed yesterday only very few men
working. and these such as were in
dispensable. Tonight it is expected
that about fifty more men will be laid
off.
This is creating great deal of com.

today, on the close of the holiday

Federation Given a Chance.
In the meantime opportunity is being
given to any member of the Western
Federation to renounce all allegiance
work. Not many of the members are
taking advantage of the offer, however
The total number to date is placed by
the mine operators at 100 The union
officials deny that this number have

Charles P. Neill labor commissioner.
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of
assistant secretary of the department
of commerce and labor, declined to
make any statement regarding the re-
suits Of their investi LEGATIONS but from
the mine owners, a statement as to
their contentious, embodied in their
statement to the commission was OBJ
tanned. The mine owners suggest the
bringing of a suit against the Western
Federation of Miners by the govern
ment for the dissolution of that organi-
zation as a trust, combine and conspir-
acy in restraint of trade among the
states; also the bringing of criminal
proceedings on the same ground. The
ton is reasonable. The Investigation
that will be made by the commission
will require at least two weeks time
and during that period the condition
of aaffirs in Goldfield as far as the
government is concerned, will be prac-
tically in the hands of the commission.
Pickets of the union are still patrolling
the mines, but there have been no re-
ports Of interference with the men at
work.

Landscaping Rules.

1t may be that you have only small
village lot to adorn with shrubs, grass
and flowers. Even SO, there are rules
which it is we'll to observe, the follow
ing from the California Cultivator are
good:
The first principle of artistic gar
dening is to secure as wide and I'm
broken an expanse of lawn as posi-
ble This rule is one that should never
be violated
A close-cut and velvety lawn is the
most beautiful and restful thing about
a home. 1t is the foreground of all
scenic garden effects. Shrubs and
trees, on small grounds, should be at
the outskirts or in opening bays, while
all flower beds should be near walks
or driveways.
A narrow yard gains apparent width
when in the foregr there is a
smooth expanse Of green. So well
do Landscape gardeners understand this
that it is a common exped1ent with
them, where lots are narrow, to place
the walk or drive at one side SO that
the body of the lawn is thrown to-
gether, making it appear a third larger
than if the walk divided it. Avoid an
intricacy of walks, unless it be shrub
berry. Don't plant trees too closely to-
gether if of kinds that reach a large
SIZE Keep the lines of vision from
windows and doors free and open.

Xerophyllum Asphodeloides.

That is a formidable name, yet the
only common one of which we have
any knowledge is not much better, be-
ing Turkeys Beard" More than all
the common name has no significance
nor appropriateness whatever. The
small flowers are borne in a dense
raceme ait the top of a tall stalk and
are pure white, the onl y tinge of color
about them being a hint of yellow
given by the small but bright yellow
anthers. Every year when this plant
comes into bloom, we feel that it
ought to be brought into more promi-
nent notice. 1t grows in low moist
land in shady places. It can be culti-
waited by initiating nature as nearly
as possible. The plant may be easily
recognized, its leaves are long and mar
row, all starting from the ground, and
look very much like those of the old
Northern corn Lilly, Hemoro callis
fulva, the flower stalk starts from the
center and reaches a height of from
Is inches to three or more feet.
Botanies say from three to five feet,
but we do not remember ever to have
seen ONE over about three feet high.
The flowers are borne in a dense
cluster, at the top, from three to six
inches long.

the borders Of the place, not in beds
in the center of the lawn. They show
off better when seen against back
ground; this background may be foil
age, building, rock, or a fence.
Where to plant flowers is really
more important than what to plant.
In front OF bushes, in the corner by
the steps, against the foundation Of the
residence or clubhouse, along fence or
a walk-these are places for flowers.
A single poppy or petunia plant against
q background OF foliage is worth a
dozen similar plants in the center Of
the lawn. In coy back yard the
shrubs and trees should be the main
feature, and bright flowers the Incl
dents. Too many flowers make a
place over-gaudy. Too much paint
may spoil the effect Of good building.
The decoration of yard, as OF house,
should be dainty.

been raised, about $50 of which bloom
ed last summer. One, at least, bears
flowers much larger than the parent,
of excellent form and nearly as good a
shade Of yellow, with no other color
ing whatever. The vigor of growth
possessed by the Maid of the Mist va
riety of Gladiolus primulinus and the
readiness with which it crosses with
other species appears to foreshadow
great possibilities as a breeder of de-
sirable new forms. The hybrids all
ready bloomed show it to be prepotent,
either when used as a seed or pollen
parent, over all other colors, except
intense red, and it even then impresses
rich yellow throats in the blooms of
its offspring.
A Good Grower.-It might be sup
posed that this very distinctive G1adi-
olus, the outcome of countless gene
rations of special adaptation to very
peculiar conditions, would not do well
away from the steamy atmosphere and
saturated soil of it's native locality, but
it turns out to be thrifty grower I'm
der ordinary garden conditions. In
dry soil the blooms are smaller and the
leaves more rigid than if allowed
plenty of moisture ait the roots, but a
saturated atmosphere does not seem
to be needed for the perfect develop
ment of plant and flower. Good-sized
corms send up from one to five strong
spikes, about four feet high ait bloom
ing time. They are furnished with the
usual side spikes, and will average
eight blooms each. The flowers last
two or three days, standing Our hot
sun very well. The foliage is very up
right and deep green in color. 1t is a
rather early bloomer, opening in July
when planted in May, and blooms
splendidly in Winter when grown I'm
der glass. The color Of the blooms is
uniform bright yellow all over, inside
and out The shade is said to be much
richer, the flowers larger and the plant
more vigorous than that OF the origin
al Gladiolus prinulinus found along the
lower reaches of the Zambesi River
The great prospective value of this
Victoria Falls variety lies in its vigor
and adaptability to culture as we'll as
its fine coloring. The Madagascar
species had as good flowers, but it
was small and weak, SO difficult to

Flower Positions.

There is an old saying that There
are exceptions to all rules The
writer of the following directions, in
the California Cultivator, overlooked
the fact that many village lot is too
small for trees, yet the owner wants
something in the line of flowers or
decorative plants. You must adapt
your rules to the surroundings. The
Cultivator says:
The mainI planting of any place
should be of trees and shrubs. The
flowers are then used as decorations.
They may be thrown in freely about

A Promising Yellow Gladiolus.

We regret that the Gladiolus is not
more commonly grown in Florida
flower gardens. It is perfectly hardy
throughout this state, is Of the easiest
culture and is remarkably snowy when
in bloom.
Moreover it is easily grown from
seed and bulbs grown from the seed
produced by crossfertihzed blossoms
have great possibilities of variation.
Whether you try crossing or not, you
will, if a real lover of flowers, be inter
ested in knowing something of what
is being done in that line. The fol-
lowing is from the Rural New Yorker:
Ola diolus Primulinus. -We appear to
have in this newly-introduced species
most hopeful source for breeding
yellow varieties. While it's existence
has been known since 1890, its intro
duction to horticulture. apparently
dates from 1904, when Mr. Francis
Fox, Wimbledon, England, a distin-
guished civil engineer associated with
the building of the great railroad
bridge over the mighty chasm just be-
low the Victoria Falls of the ZambeSi
River, of South Africa, first lowered
and exhibited superior natural va
riety OF the species from corms he
had collected in the rain forest as
the wooded belt near the bottom Of
the gorge is called This rain forest
is constantly drenched with mist from
the falls, almost the greatest in the
world, and the vegetation there is
usually provided with means for shelf
ering its essential organs of reproduc-
ton from the ever-halling moisture.
The particular species of -Gladiolus I'M
der consideration was found growing
almost under the falls, where nearly all
parts Of the plant are constantly bathed
in warm moisture, the anthers and
stigmas being protected from wet by
the sheltering hood Of the bloom,
formed by the dropping upper petals
or perianth divisions. Mr.. Fox has
named this beautiful variety ''Maid of
the MIST on account of it's very pecu-
liar habitat, and kindly supplied the
writer with sufficient corms for very
trial. We have formed great
hopes Of it from two seasons of culture
and observation, during which many
hundreds of hybridizations were effect
ed between it and selected species and
garden varieties, generally with view
OF developing better yellow kinds.
Nearly 1000 cross-bred seedlings have
