THE BEAUTIFUL OHIO.

You can sing of rivers flowing from
the mountain to the sea,
Of the Rhine and Mississippi, Of
the Danube and the Dee;
You can tell about the slories of the
Hudson and the Nile,
Of the raging Colorado rushing
down its steep de6le:
But of all the mighty rivers, wend-
ing to the oceans shore,
The beautiful Ohio is the river
adore.
You can chant the many praises of
the lively Rio Grande,
As she pours her impid waters
out upon the golden strand;
You can magnify the beauties of the
Wabash and the Seine,
The Missouri, sacramento-aowing
outward to the Main.
But of all the graceful rivers swiftly
gliding to the sea,
The beautiful Ohio is the fairest
stream to me.

The trades unioniSts on the other side
seem 70 have been developing COM
pany of specialists who direct them
IN their efforts to secure specific legls-

concessions from their employers. In
such matters as child labor. old age
pensions, woman's place in the state
and In industry. In educational ques-
tons and IN temperance the English
workers in particular have q group of

walk Of life. They are the authorI-

While the American labor leaders

ably more general than his European
brothers. the leaders in Great Britain
have made a more careful study Of
economic subjects. and they are In a
position to intellIsentIy direct ycr.sls-

No doubt this situation is due TO the
fact that European labor men have for
a longer time been confronted with
such questions and they have been
longer "on the Job"
Another marked difference is the
comparative interest In politics. Every
trades unionist in America knows the
difficulty Of enlistinS the workers in

ing the plants. they should receive
good are and attention. Plenty of
water must be supplied to them either
naturally or artificially. The soil
should never be allowed to become
dry. The time to irrigate can be de-
termined by examining the soil. If
the soil around the plants cracks open
too much after irrigating. the cracks
should be closed by filling with soil
or tamping 1t down. This should be
done until the trees or plants are es-
t~ablished.
Pruning the trees and shrubs should
be practiced only when necessary.
Plants should be pruned to give them
form, to remove extra growth and
dead branches. The natural form of
the trees, shrubs, and ornamcntals
be preserved as much as pos
sible. Limbs removed should be cut
off close to the trunk to insure quick
healing of the wound.

Alleging that at least two hundred
families have been prevented from

of the uncertainty of property lines,
and hat hundreds of acres of land
are escaping taxation, the real estate
men of this city at a meeting y%cstcr-

vcstigate the matter of having the val
ley lands plated to report at another
meeting to be held Wednesday after
noon next at 3 O'Clock.
The meeting yesterday was attend

only one in the city being absent.
Colonel John Borradailc. Of the Rio
Grande Valley Land was
made chairman and Peter T.. Mccain
ma, secretary. Colonel ID. *. y. Sell
lcrs stated the object Of the meeting
which was to devise ways and means
to have the lands in the Rio Grandc
valley in Bcrnalillo county acculatcly
plated by the board of county COM
missioners. After a vigorous discus
of the issue which all the real
estate men believe is a live one, a
committee was appointed by the chair
consisting of Colonel Sellers, Colonel
Borradaile NJ NJ. W. Portcrficld to
investigate and report. The commit
tee will confer with the board of
county commissioners to see If that
body can legally take the necessary
to urvey and plat the valley
lands outside of Albuquerque in this
county. The committee will asccr-
tain IL it is necessary to bring the mat
ter before the legislature. If there is |
any fund which can be made to cover
such an expense ana if not how such
a fund may be created.
There was evident an entire unan-
unity among the real estate men that
If settlers are to be brought into this
valley and the land cultivated, it
must be possible to exhibit plats Of
the lands with their definite bound
aries. From statements by those pres
it is computed that at least 200 I
might have been located here
in the past six months but for the
that property lines could not be
guaranteed. Figuring that each fam

1uerque merchants this means $780,

We figure that to cover the cost or

special levy of only one mill womb
be necessary. if it is found needful to
make q levy to pay the cost.
This levy would come back into
the pockets of the tax payers the first

valley Will be of great advantage to
the assessor in securing complete
taxation and Will do more than any
other one thing to place live farmers
