ALFALFA ON WORKOUT SOILS.
A Good Stand Cannot Be Secured
Until Well MANFRED

Concerning the possibilities of al
Eyck of Kansas observes that it is a
fact well known to old clover growers
that clover cannot be readily started
on old, worn" lands, until the soil
has been improved in texture and fer
tility by manuring The same is true
also of alfalfa, and 1t is often advis-
able before seeding alfalfa on thin"
or worn" land to take year or two
in preparing the soil by green manur-
ing, deep blowing and thorough cul-
tivation, with the application also,
when possible, of barnyard manure.
Alfalfa may be started on very
thin" land, deficient in humus and
nitrogen, but which contains a sufi-
cient supply of the mineral elements
of plant-food but under such condi-
tons it starts very slowly, and may
not produce profitable crops for a
year or two after seeding; yet, in
time, when the plants have estab.
lished deep root system and are well
supplied with the nitrogen-gathering
bacteria, the alfalfa makes a thrifty
growth and produces excellent crops,
even without manuring or fertiiza.
ton.
Ten Eyck asserts that he knows of
fields which before seeding to alfalfa
would not produce 80 bushels of corn
per acre in a favorable season. that
are now yielding annually four to five
tons per acre of good alfalfa hay.

as the present site Another suggestion
was the Twelfth Ward school premises
with the purchase of the corresponding
strip between those premises and Second
South, so rs to give them access to
both streets, should have the high
school Another thing which the peo
pie would like to know, is whether
there will, in fact, be two high schools
or only one-whcther the full high
school course will be continued in the
present school building, and the new
structure will also have full high
school course, or whether the purpose
is TO have the high school instruction
proper all in tho new school.
There has never been n proposition
TO vote bonds here, either by the Board
of Education or by the City Council,
that there was not a pretty full cXplana-
tion OF what the Board or the Council
(as the case might be) intended. and
as to what was 10 be done with the
money, where it was to be spent, and
for what the money was intended. II
will be remembered that at the bond
election called by the Council in July
of last year there was n thorough ex-
planation of what was needed to be
done and upon what projects the money
was to be expended. The same is true
Of the million dollar bonds authorized
by the election of January, 1906; and
the former school boards have always
made their like showings. That was
the proper course; that has been the. un.
varying course in every bond election in
this city.
IT the Board Of Education now sees
fit to follow this good precedent and
explain what it intends to do with
the money and what its programme is
with respect to the high school, both
present and future, we think that it
may reasonably expect to have an af
frmativc vote on the bonds, IT, how
ever, it declines TO explain to the people
what it intends to do, then the question
must be in doubt. For though the peo.
pie here are very much in favor of
schools, and want the best to he had.
they have never been asked to give
blind votes without knowing what was
to be done with the money; and we
doubt very much whether they would
want to do that now. Let the Board
take the taxpayers into its confidence,
Just as it asks the taxpayers to take
it into their confidence Confidence be-
gets confidence, and if the Board wants
the confidence of the taxpayers, LET it
take the proper means TO get it.

haps. that will make the present means
of transportation appear to the people
of fifty years hence as primitive as we
now consider the transportation facili-
ties of fifty years ago.
II is doubtless true, as stated gen
orally in the discussion of this ques-
ton, that an issue Of 100000 Of Salt.
air bonds could be floatcd If this fran,
chisc were granted If the franchise
is so extremely valuable TO the Salta!r
people, there should be some correspond.
ing advantage to the city, This the
Council should look after as 1T doubt
less will do. The time has come when
there should be other considerations
than the convenience and building up
of corporations like this; the public in,
tercsts should 90 along with and re.
ceive benefits from those corporations in
some fair ratio to the benefits that the
public confers by the granting of these
franchises. Public utilities should be
encouraged, but not without some pub
lie advantage in return, And there
the city in the granting of franchise
like this, an advantage corresponding TO
the tremendous immediate advantage
that it would confer.
SO far as il appears at present, the
suggestion that the Satair people build
20 Main Street from the west along
North Temple Street. appears to be the
most feasible. There is now but one
track on that street. The Saltair peo-
pic might occupy the middle, covering
ton over 1t strong enough for their
tracks. at the same time leaving such
access as might be needed for repairs
or other purposes. The viaduct run
ming west on North Temple Street
across the O. S. l.. tracks should be
widened very much. 1t is too narrow
now. Aud then the Saltair people could
go directly west with single track
from Main Street, crossing the widencd
viaduct and connecting at the western
boundary of the city by track that
would lead to their present track. That
would give them a straight road-an
almost airline road-to Saltalr
However, the whole matter will be
for the careful and cautious considera-
ton of the City Council which should.
and no doubt will. give due weight to
each point involved in the granting of
the application, The city naturally
should afford all facilities that are bene
fetal, and that tend TO develop business
and prosperity, But at the same time
the public interest must be conserved
and vested rights fairly protected. 1t is
an intricate question, that should not
be settled in hurry, but ought TO re-
ccive not only the fullest official con
but every one interested in
the welfare of the city should be al
lowed to express his opinion, SO that
the whole matter could be threshed out
with the benefit of all suggestions and

THE SALTAIR FRANCHISE.

The conflict between the street rail
way company and the interurban use
of the railway tracks is brought to an
acute stage by the application of the
Saltair people for the right TO reach
Main Street at South Temple or al
First West Street with their trains for
Saltair. The Saltair people naturally
want to get to the heart Of the city
so as TO increase the summer travel
TO Saltair, They have some curious
crooks and bends in their trackage
proposition in the western part of the
city which seem needless; and the street
railway company protests that it would
be impossible TO maintain their car
schedules if the Saltair people are al
lowed to occupy its tracks.
A good many people are suspicious
that the Saltair request involves also
some general railroad proposition af-
fording entrance TO the city for steam
cars and for freight purposes, which, of
course, would be obnoxious; and GER
taiuly there are some parts of the year
when the street railway tracks, and es-
pecially the yiaduct, would be badly
ovcrcrowdcd if the street railway tracks
were open to the Saltair cars 1t is, as
matter Of fact, pretty hard to reconcile
the conflicting claims,
But besides the claims of the appli-
cant and the resistant, the public has
Il supreme interest in the whole matter.
There certainly should not be more than
two car tracks allowed on any one
street. The interlacing of Saltair trac ks
with the present tracks would neces-
sarily involve switches which would
make three, or perhaps even four, tracks
in the street; and would amount to as
bad an obstruction one with another
claimant of use. as would only two
tracks. The public interest is matter
of the utmost concern in the matter of
franchise like this. This is going
to be very large city at date much
sooner to come than the end of the fran.
cblse which is sought-ifty years That
is long time to grant franc hise.
Pretty much everything that has oc-
Cured by way of improvement in trans
portation facilities, except the mere
operation Of railroads, has been done
within the last fifty years. Fifty years
ago railroads were crude affairs. There
were no through systems. Any traveller
having to go through several States was
pretty sure to be required to change cars
once or twice before getting to the
end Of his journey. The time was slow
compared with the present. The rail
road equipment was primitive and would
be absolutely ridiculous now. The i'm
proyements that have been made in fifty
years will no doubt be largely exceed.

THE LAUNCHING OF THE SHIP.

The great battleship Utah is to be
| launched with appropriate ceremonies
and display at the Camden shipyards
today. The Governor and his party
are there There will be Il great thronl
Of prominent and curosity-lovIng peo
pie, and the event will be one mcmor
able not only locally but in the naval
annals of the nation. For. the great
battloship Utah is to be the peer of any
ighting ship afoat.
This ship and the North Dakota (they
are twins) represent in size, armament
speed, and fighting power the very best
type of modern battlcship, Nothing is
omitted. nothing is spared to make it
the proudest product and ornament Of
the American navy.
We have on the first page of The
Tribune this morning IN illustration Of
the comparative size of the battleshiu
Utah. Placed between the Boston and
Ncwhonse buildings, the tower of the
ship would reach almost TO the top of
them, and the guns would overlook the
sixth stories The upper works reach
to the eighth stories, 1t is fine Illus.
tration Of the tremendous size Of the
modern battleship,
In the system of naming the Ameri-
can battleships the newer States get the
advantage. The scheme of naming them
is that each battleship is named after a
State In the rush to have the States
honored by having battleships named
after them, the older and larger States
were given the first place. except that
some States had armed cruisers which
were practically equivalent TO the bat
tleships OF their day named for them.
The general result has been that com
parativeIy the smaller and less power
full of the battleships are named after
the older and more populous States.
while the States at first neglected get
tho newest, biggest and best. Utah, be-
ing almost at the end of the list, there
fore. gets the latest, the best, and the
biggest warship of the navy named after
her. 1t is proud honor to have it
that way, and il was certainly worth
waiting for TO get such magnificent
ship named for the State
Our account of the preliminarics for
the launching is very full, both in de-
tails as to the measurements and arma
ment of the ship, and also as to the
distinguished assemblage that wiz he
there to give prominence and eclat 70
the occasion. The account by wire OF
the launching we shall have tomorrow
morning, and later on we shall have pie
lures of the actual launching Of the
ship-these as soon as they can be per
fected and forwarded.
1t will be a great day for Utah at
the Camden shipyards. and every in.
habitant Of Utah will rejoice at the
prominence which the State derives
from this splendid event. Without the
least regard to local difference of opin
ions had between sect or party, we can
all join in the acclaim, and take part
in the Joyous pride which this occasion
warrants and evokes.
