BUILDING NEW RAILWAY.
Line From Kensington to Sandy
Spring Being Constructed.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. April 3, 1909
That an electric railway from Kensing-
ton to Sandy Spring Is assured is evil
denced by the fact that the work of con-
struction has already been started at the
kensington end. 1t Is understood that
the force of workmen will be considerably
increased within the next few weeks and
that the work will be pushed.
AT recent meeting of the stockholders
of the company. which was attended by
Charles F. Brooke, president: Allen Far
Quhar, treasurer, and r. II. Phillips. Sec
Rotary. and at which majority of the
stock was represented. it was voted to Is
sue $4,000 in bonds. The proceeds from
the sale of these bonds will be sufficient
to construct about four miles Of road
from Kensington to a point on the
Brookeville turnpike about half a mile
above Glenmont. 1t Is said that no diff
f1cient funds to complete the road to
Sandy Spring within the near future.
At kensington the Sandy SprngKen-
sington line will connect with the Ken
sington-Chevy Chase line. The latter
connects at Chevy Chase Lake with the
Capital Traction Company's road. With
In the last few months about $1,000 has
been expended In improving the Kensng-
ton-Chevy Chase line. and 1t Is said that
about $1,000 will be used to further i'm
months. Upon the completion of the Inn
provements the running time between
kensington and Chevy Chase Lake will
be fixed at ten minutes, and. as the Capt.
tai Traction Company propose to run Its
cars from Chevy Chase Lake to the Treas
ury in thirty-fiv minutes, it will mean
only forty-five minutes from kcnsington
TO the center of Washington.

Blood and

That tho blood is natural anti.eptic and
powerful germ destroyer is a fact recognized by
all leading medical men.
There are certain cells in the blood whose sole
mission Is 10 keep II free from impurities, and
which seem TO have nothing In particular to do

channels and tissues of the body watching other

Facilities of Louisiana.
Experience has shown that the best
localities for making high-grade cane
sirup are the "cut-over pine lands of
Louisiana on the gulf coast. Sandy soils
produce tighter colored strip than
the richer Soils and a large plant which
could grind cane from a community OF
farmers in the neighborhood of Mobile,
Mr.. HAYS thinks, would be very profit
able.
A plant with q capacity Of eighty tons
a day or 300 acres in the season could
be built for $4,000 while $4,000 plant
acres. Suitable lands can be bought all
the way from Ave dollars upward, and
the cost of growing an acre OF cane from
the clearing of the stumps to the hauling
to the mill will be about $35
One man can easily cultivate twenty or
twenty-five acres. except when the cane
is, ready for cutting, when he Will need
help. A farmer ought to get from 81 to
S3 80 for his cane delivered at the mill.
In Louisiana IL brings about $40 ton.
The Weld of cane runs all the way
from ten to forty tons an acre, accord
ing to the quality of the soil and the
care and cultivation The average IN
southern Alabama is about twenty tons
an acre and about 400 gallons of sirup
to the ton
The present market for cane strip
is practically confined to the south. and
the supply does not begin to meet the
demand. Experts say that the southern
market could absorb 200 per cent more
that the present production without ref
erence to the northern market, which
practically takes no cane strip at all.
Northern consumers know nothing of
the pue cane strip of the south. but
confuse it with the ordinary molasses
from the sugar mills. But people here
say that IL they would give 1t trial
they would prefer 1t to maple sirup.
Agricultural Land Increases.
AS the sawmills eat their way through
the pine forests back into the interior of
the state the area of available land for
agriculture gradually increases and the
opportunities for settlers who like this
climate are correspondingIy enlarged.
The timber lands have practically passed
nut of the hands Of small owners into
the control of corporations with large
capital; the number Of sawmills is
diminishing every year, and this con-
centration of interests reduces the num-
Der of people employed.

Bitterness Over Prohibition.

The prohibition agitation has created a
very bitter feeling between the pros"

very seriously. and are more intense in
their religion, their politics and every
thing else than the people of the north.
