Used voting Machines for Years.
 (Ruffalo iComn,eroialN

The mayor of New. Haven has vetoed q common council bill for the purchase or voting machines for that city, His chief objection ia that they do not facilitate independent voting" Gross ignorance, or deliberate determination to resort to unjustihable excuse, can alone explain such decision. Buffalo has used the machines for years, and can testify that they insure an honest vote, honest count and quick returns. But that is precisely the ground for ob- cheap and interruptions politicians

ENJolNs SOUTH DAKOTA.
Judge Garland Grants Writ Sought by
the Railroads..

Sioux Falls, s. D., Jan. Gas the
result of a hearing before him, Judge
Garland of the United States court in
this city, on application Of the various
railroads concerned, granted a tenn
porary injunction preventing the rail-
road commissioners from putting into
effect a proposed schedule. of new
passenger rates, which would reduce
the present rate in South Dakota
from 8 to 24cents per mile.
The temporary injunction succeeds
a restraining order which was secured
by the railroads last October, Just
prior to the time the railroad COM
missioners sought to put the proposed
new rate into effect. The temporary
injunction will remain in force until
the railroads will strive to have the
temporary injunction made perman-
emit. The date for this hearing has
not yet been fixed.
Judge Garland sustained demurrers
to the action of the railroad companies
in making s. w. Clark, attorney gem
eral of South Dakota. and William Fl.
Stanley, secretary of the board of
railroad commissioners, defendants in
the case, and therefore they no long
er will appear in the case.

METHODS OF FOREST PLANTING.
Where Many Trees Are Needed Start
a Home Nursery.

The best method of establishing a
forest plantation is by the use of nurs.
cry stock. It is usually advisable to
purchase plant material from a com.
mercial nursery. In extensive opera
tons, however, it may prove more
profitable to produce the planting
stock in a home nursery. Such a
nursery, however, will demand the
careful supervision of one experienced
in growing young trees. Advice in re-
gard to nursery practice is contained
in extract 376 from the year book of
the department of agriculture for 1905,
which can be had upon application to
the forester.
Forest planting must be done by
simple and cheap methods. Prepare
ton of the planting site by blowing
and narrowing is not essential, but is
best If the land has been previously
utilized for crops. Such preparation

1872 for America, because he was dis
appointed in love and, as he believed,
badly treated by the members of his
family. By an arrangement with the
crown he secured a patent for a tract
of ove 100000 acres of land in Vir-
ginia, and was the richest man in all
the colonies in his day. He was the
friend of Washington and employed
the future father of his country in
surveying. His manor house was near
Mount Vernon. Lord Fairfax, how
ever. died without children, AID his
property was inherited by his brother,
William Fairfax, who married Sally
Cary, the "Lowland beauty" who jilt-
ed Washington.
They had no children and when
William Fairfax died Robert, the
younger brother, came into the title
and estate. From him the Fairfaxes
Of the United States are descended.
During the revolutionary war the title
was held by the Rev. Bryan Fairfax,
who was rector of Christ's church,
Alexandria, of which Washington was
a vestryman. He sympathized with the
colonies, vas intimate with Washing
ton, and contributed money as we'll
as prayers for the cause of the rebels.
From him after two generations was
descended John Fairfax, who was en-
titled to a place in the English peer
age. but did not care to claim it. He
lived in Washington, where he prac-
t1ced medicine and was high in pro-
fessional repute until the civil war
broke out, when his sympathies with
the ~confederacy caused him to be os-
tracised. He lost his patients and
his friends, and picking up what mon
'ey he had bought a secluded planta-
ton in Maryland and lived there un-
til 1900, when he was called to his
last account. DR.. Fairfax left two
sons and several daughters. Albert,
the elder, became a clerk in a bank
ing house in New York city, and hay
ing social aspirations, recovered for
the benefit Of himself and his POSTER
ity the title and privileges that be-
long to the British peerage. It was

FIRE LOSSES
ENTIRELY TOO LARGE BESIDE
THOSE OF EUROPE.
international Society Of Building Com,
mlssloners Will Appeal to Gov
ernors When They Meet at
Washington.

Misunderstanding governors OF
the states are in this city in May to
discuss the nations. wastes and ex-
travagances and to devise means Of
lessening this appalling destruction, it
is planned by Architect Fitzpatrick,
executive Of the International Society
of Building Commissioners, to submit
for their consideration facts anent the
fire waste which, it is believed, will
lead them to take the initiative in
proposing legislation for the better
ment of building construction and the
reduction of the fire tax.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick points out that of
all our wastefulness fire is one of the
costliest and the only n in which
human lives also are sacrificed. The
tax in actual loss Of buildings, in the
maintenance of fire departments and
in premiums to insurance companies
in the hope of recouping some of the
damage amounts to over $500, 600, 900
a year, a sum that is barely equaled
by the cost of new buildings erected
in the most prosperous year. No other
nation on earth permits such a waste.
Fire has eaten up in Is years over
$500, 900, 900 worth Of property-a
sum that exceeds the highest point
ever reached by the United States
debt.
In Europe fires seldom extend be-
yond the buildings in which they
originate; in this country whole city
blocks of buildings, and even entire
sections of cities, are wiped out in
one conflagration. Boston will average
S1,500,000 loss in fire a year,, while the
average of five European cities of
equal size is a trile over $3.50, 900.
The fire tax here, exclusive of the cost
OF ire departments, ETC., is over two
dollars per capita; in Europe it is less
than 80 cents. In 43 cities of Europe
there are SO fires per 1000 people; in
the United States there are 4.O5 per
1000.
Here in Washington, a city Of $780,
900 people, there were 846 fires last
lear, with a loss of $2SS,744, aud the
cost of maintaining the fire depart
ment was $433,920. In Berlin during
the same period there were 2,O99 fires,
involving a loss Of only s169, POS, and
the fire department cost 1912, 900.
Rome, a city of 0 1000 people, had a
loss of $56, 900, and it's fire department
cost $4,000.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick will point out also
the cure that is proposed. He main
tains that if adequate legislation is
enacted, compelling all new buildings
to be at least moderately we'll built,
and that the old ones have improve.
ments rendering them less vulnerable
to fire, this terrific tax will be reduced
more than half within five years.

Method Of Forest Planting.

and cultivation improve the early
growth of the trees, but add to the in
itial cost of the plantation.
Trees should be planted with the
least possible exposure of the roots.
The rootlets of the plant will dry out
II exposed to the air for even a short
This is especially true of conf
ers. Some Of the broadleaf species
may, with proper attention, live even
after the roots have dried out, but
conifers are far less likely to survive.
When the seedlings are received,
they should be unpacked at once and
their roots dipped into a pail contain
ing thin mud. Until time for planting
In the field the trees should be "heeled-
In" according to the following method:
Dig a trench deep enough to bury the
roots and part of the stems. The
trench should run east and west. with
Its south bank at a slope of about 30
degrees to the surface of the ground.
A layer of trees should be placed in
the trench on it's sloping side, the top
toward the south. The roots and
stems should be covered with fresh
earth dug from the second trench, in
which a second layer of trees is put
and covered in the same way. The
digging of the parallel trenches is re-
peated and layers of trees are put in
until all have been heeled-in as shown
in the accompanying illustration.
In the case Of c%onifers care should
be taken not to bury the foliage. and
either to choose a shady place for the
young trees or to construct a shade
over them with brush or laths.
The best time to plant trees is in
the early spring, before the growth be.
gins. In general, planting should be
done as soon as possible after the
frost is out of the ground. The trees
should be carried to the planting sites
roots downward iii a pail containing
several inches of water. They should
be set in holes dug with a mattock.
The width and depth of the holes will
depend on the character and size of
the plants root system. In all tree
planting it is of the greatest impor.
lance to press the earth firmly about
the roots SO that all air spaces are
filled. The soil should not, however,
be packed SO hard as to be impervious
to water, nor should the earth be
raised in a mound about the stem.
Information regarding general nur
sery practice and planting may be OBJ
tanned from publications of the forest
service. which will be forwarded upon
request addressed to the forester.

j. e. Chase Drinks Acid in Minneapo-
lis Drug Store.

Minneapolis, Jan. 6.-"Well, here's
to hell in a hurry" said J. E. Chase,
at one time a prosperous furniture
dealer, as he drained an ounce bottle
of carbolic acid in the Vogeli drug
store, Hennepin and Washington
avenues, Minneapolis. The store was
filled with persons waiting for street
cars, many of them being women and
and children.
Every effort was made to save the
mans life. While the police ambu-
lance was being summoned druggists
worked ovol him. He was rushed to
the city hospital, where he died in
great agony.
At the time of his death Chase was
employed by the Minneapolis Furni-
ture company.
Domestic trouble due to drink is
given as the cause.
