PITTSBURG, Pa, May 1.-THE third
annual congress of the Playground Asso.
ciation of America began here last night
with representatives present from forty
cities. The convention will continue until
Friday.
Mayor William A. Magee, on behalf OF

Beulah Kennard. president of the Pitts

Letter From Taft Read.
President Taft sent letter. which was
read at the meeting. The President re-
gretted his inability to be present, and
said:

in this regard would be without them.

For Morality and Health.
Il do not know anything which will
contribute more to the strength and
morality of that generation of bows and
girls compelled to remain part of urban
populations in this country than the in
stitution in their cities Of Fairgrounds
where their hours of leisure can be occu-
pied by rational and healthful exercise.
The advantage is twofold:
I'm the first place, idleness and confine-
ment in a narrow space in The city in
houses and cellars and unventilated dark
rooms, Is certain to suggest and bring
about pernicious occupation and create
bad habits. Gambling, drinking and
other forms of vice are promoted In such
a restricted mode of life.

boats from the river and monopolize the
entire trade if our people had enterprise
sells with all the modern improvements,
which go immensely to reduce expenses
while increasing safety. II is plain that
the old style boats. with their enormous
consumption of coal and waste of power
and their large crews, whose only busi-
ness is to handle cargo in and out, can
not compete with railroad service, which
employs every economy that science can
devise and the needs of traffic demand.
1t is only by going back to the rivers
that the railroads can be brought to
terms.
"Have you ever sat on the deck of
river steamboat and seen the gang of
rousta bouts, in picturesque garb and with
their peculiar trot. tOting' freight on and
off the boat across the swaying gang
plank?
'Have you. as you watched them, won-
dered how the freight gets up or down
the steep, muddy bank? What it cost
to put it within reach of the roster,
or vice versa? Have you ever wondered
what percentage of the freight was spoil
ed by contact with mud. rain, etc? Did
you ever see steamboat landing (ex-
cept at New Orleans) where anything
has been done either to protect the
freight or to facilitate or cheaper the
handling?
What profits it to haul freight cheaply
on boat if the difference and much more
must be paid to get the stuff to and from
the landing and to pay for losses by dam
age done by the elements?"
The propounder of these questions asks
the newspaper to compare this condition
with the vast sums expended by the rail-
roads to provide freight houses, tern.inal
facilities, paved roadwayS and every fa-
cility for economical handling of freight
and then wonder why the steamboat has
gone in 'innocuous desuetude.'
Changing Build of Boats.
The Picayune thinks that the way out
is to be accomplished by changing the
build of the boats. furnishing them with
compound engines. carriers, moving plat
| forms. galloway transporters for taking
In and discharging freight; also by pro-
vidng warehouses. wharf boats equipped
with loading and unloading machinery,
| etc. These suggestions are SO obvious
that one would be surprised that they had
not only been made before, but carried
| into effect long ago.
The Mobile Register says: 1.-The issues
between railroads and steamboats, are
narrowed down to One-the cost: and in
| respect to the cost, the main feature is
in handling goods. receiving and dis
| charging. The cost may be said to be
at its maximum in steamboatfns and re-
| duced to the minimum in railroading. It
! is question of terminals, so to speak.
and up to now no serious effort has been
made to terminalize the river traffic.
| The cotton float and the dray are the
costly Intermediates in use at all largo
points of shipment, and the negro deck
hand is the actual power used in loading
and unloading. In this regard the rail-
roads have the steamboats, at such a dis
advantage along the Mississippi that we
do not expect to see ''old times" revived.

THE ORCHARD OF THE UNITED
STATES"
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

California has been aptly named 1.-The
Orchard of the United States" Oranges
have been grown in other parts of the
country beside California, but nowhere
else does there seem to be quite such
faultless natural conditions for their sue
cessful cultivation. And those keen
western farmers have not been slow to
appreciate the fact that nature is with
them in this work of orange culture
and lemon culture. However, they do not
leave all to nature. Far from 1t. AS an
instance of the determination to get the
best results 5000 of these orchard own
ers are banded together in an organiza-
ton known the California. Fruit Grow
ers Exchange and the beneficial results
of the studies, experiments and methods
of any member are for the benefit OF all.
And that this organization is making
progress in bringing the quality of Cali
fornia oranges up to higher standard
is noticeable in their now famous Sun
kist' brand with which this market Is
supplied. The health value Of these or
anges, in connection with the rare excel
lence of their favor. has created great
popularity for them.

Rovelstad was one ,sof the strongest
