has prevailed now for some time has
brought the trucking interest decidedly
to the fore and q wheel, . spin or a

The chief gardener perhaps of the
Second avenue district is J. w. Ball l
was at his place that Daily News rep

tracted by the varied sea of green.
Here were acre upon acre of the general
run of vegegables-beets, beans, cab
bages, caulifiower, lettuce, leeks, onions.
oyster plants. radishes, rutabagas, Gel
cry, cress. spinach, Sw ss chard, and
then the list is only q partial one. Sweet
corn grows splendidly, and the market
demand will quickly absorb the supply
In the absence of Mr.. Ball, Mrs. Ball
graciously talked Of the trucking situa-
tion and outlook, both of which were
pronounced good. Indeed, she said
they are now having January local de.
mand. This would augur an unprece.
dented local demand for the season and
would indicate that there are now con.
siderably more people in Daytona than
usual at this time of the year
1t is yet little early to begin ship
ments to the distant markets. A month
later, and the Northern shipments vii
be ut their best.
One of the interesting things at the
Ball place was a six-acre peach orchard
composing few Of the choicest varic-
ties which flourish on Florida soil. They
were largely Crawford, Honey, Peen-tt
and Jewels, and many of the trees nov

STARTLING FACTS ABOUT WASTE
Coul Will Last SO Years-Timber 80 Years
Reclamation and Protection.

Through the government bulle-
tins and newspaper discussion and
presentation we have scattered sta
tistics of the manner in which the
resources of this great republic are
being used, mainly wasted. and
what want and destitution will
come for future generations if we
continue in the manner in which we
are going, without some conserva-
ton and preparation for the future.
The conference of the governors
with President Roosevelt, which
was held in Washington recently,
has, more than any one thing,
brought forcibly and startlingly be-
fore our people what we have done
already in denuding the country of
its natural resources, what we are
allowing to go to waste and how
we may reclaim, enrich and make
the future more glowing than the
past.
Among the matters brought out
at the conference we may note
briefly that we utilize but S per
cent. of the coal we mine, some
ASS, 600, 900 tons year, and under
present methods our soft coal will
last century and our anthracite
coal will last but fifty years.
AS to timber that now standing
is estimated at two thousand billion
feet. The present annual consump-
ton is one hundred billion feet
while the annual growth is from
thirty to forty billion feet. At the
present rate of consumption our
supplies of timber will not last more
than thirty-three years. AT pres
ent in the west there are Io4,936,-
s55 acres of national forest lands, a
beginning in the reclamation and
protection of forests.
AS 10 water waste-the annual
flood damage in the United States
exceeds $Ioo, 900, 900. Through
cutting down the forests and expos
ing the soil to the rain billion tons
of earth 90 per cent. soil, is wasted
annually into our streams.
In our water supplies, 1000, 900
of horse power runs idly each year
over government dams, only small
fraction of the actual waste the
country over. Capitalized at 3 per
cent, this known government
waste represents an investment of
more than 81 900, 900.
The swamp lands that need re-
claiming amount to more than 5o,-

KRICKBAUM REINSTATED.
Supreme Court Declares Him tho Duly Elect.
ed Associate Judge.

On Monday morning the Supreme
Court filed its decision in the con-
tested election case of William
Krickbaum. Justice Potter wrote
the opinion, and the court was
unanimous in its finding.
The news was received here with
much satisfaction by men of all par
ties. not so much because of Mr..
Krickbaum' victory, as because Of
the triumph of a principle. The
ousting of Judge Krlckbaum never
had any legal foundation to rest on,
the only possibility of its being sus-
tanned lying in the hope that the
higher court would refuse to con-
slider the facts or to go into the
merits of the case. Their opinion
now filed will prevent any such
hope in future similar cases.
In its issue of January 23rd last,
THE COLUMBIAN said editorially,
in discussing Judge Evans action,
as follows:
1--WE confidently assert, after
careful consultation, that for this
decision there is absolutely no war
rant of law"
The opinion of the Supreme
Court, says:
How he (the court below could
have reached his conclusion we do
not understand. 1t is directly in
the teeth of, and is entirely unwar-
ranted by his findings of fact"
For the able preparation and pre-
sentation of this case Fred Ikeler,
Esq, Is entitled to all the credit.
He prepared the brief and argued
the case, though Judge Gordon was
called in as a consulting attorney
after Mr.. Ikeler had prepared it.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
is given in full elsewhere.

NEW TRIAL FOR FISHER.

The Supreme Court on Monday
ordered a new trial for Henry Fish
er, the convicted murderer of Mrs.
Sarah Klinger, of Shamokin, in
Northumberland county.
1t was claimed by Fishers attor-
neys that his letters, being conf
dental communications, between
husband and wife, were not admis-
sible as evidence. The Common
wealth claimed, and the court sus-
tanned the contention, that the fact
that prisoner wrote the letters for
Fisher destroyed their confidential
nature. The supreme court ruled
that as Fisher was unable to write,
the prisoner to whom he dictated
the letter became his attorney in
fact, and the confidential character
of the letters remained unaltered.
This is the first time that this point
has ever. come up in a Pennsylva-
MIA court.
1t is hardly likely that, although
Fisher has been given a temporary
respite, he will eventually escape
the gallows. The fendish nature
of his crime, and the great strength
of the evidence against him, make
his ultimate conviction certain, even
though his letters may not be used
against him.

MERCHANTS SHOULD BEWARE.

If one formed conclusions from
all he reads in the newspapers he
might think that the farmers are.
the only class of people who ever
get swindled, but there are others.
Down in Center county the other
day two well-dressed gentlemen Wis
itea the merchants of Bellefonte.
One, who was the business end of
the combination told the local mer-
chants a very plausible story. He
claimed that he was vice-president
of the Business Mems Association
of Pennsylvania" whose object it
was to have the mercantile tax law
repealed which had become bur-
den to the merchants throughout
the state. He stated that one mil
lion and a quarter dollars were col
lected each year, and after the conf
missioners and advertising were
paid, only $50, 600 was turned into
the state treasury. He said they
proposed stopping this graft, and
after finishing his little song and
dance a petition was presented to
the merchant to sign. The next
thing the merchant hed subscrip-
tion book pushed under his nose
and asked to subscribe two to five
dollars which would be used in de-
fraying the expenses in getting the
repeal act through the legislature.
AS easy as ducks going to- water
the merchants pulled out their good
elegant cash and forked it over to-
entire strangers. 1t is said they
secured between $2oo and $500.
This was the result of only about
three hours work in the morning,
and in the afternoon they skidooed
to new fields of labor,

ton.

NOT A DAY OF MOURNING.

In an address delivered last Sun

Adjutant General Thomas Stewart
said:
Memorial Day is not one of
mourning. Had my way there
would not be muffled drum or a
draped flag.
1.-THE drums should beat out and
the flag float, for we pay to the old
soldier the greatest tribute when
we rejoice over the fact that he did
not die in vain, but that through
his sacrifices the country still lives,
a united, happy and prosperous
people"
