Indiana Harbor, Ind, Sept. 15.-The
" ashington Park Land company, the
hoped that this is but the beginning of
which purchased the property that has
been known the Park addition.
through its agents the Citizens Trust
and Savings bank, has let the contract
for the Improvement of forty one
houses which were on the subdivision
and were transferred with the land pur-
chase by the company.
Other contracts which have been let
are those for putting In the sewer
stubs and the laying of 100, 900 square
feet of cement sidewalk. Green &
Sons company are already at work put
ting in the stubs in the hundred thous-
and square feet of walks. The latter
will cost in the vicinity of $4,000.
SaIushi Has the Job.
Ed Sa1uski has the contract for the
renovation of the houses which will be
put in the best of condition and as fast
as completed Will be put on the market.
They will also be offered for rent with
the understanding that If sold the pur-
chaser will have the right to take pos
session of them while the tenant will
be forced to seek quarters elsewhere.
The cost of renovation has not been
mad public but 1t will reach several
thousand dollars.
! Most of the houses have never been
occupied and whatever damage they
have sustained since erection has been
through standing vacant They were
built by the East Chicago company to
sell. but after their completion 1t was
realized that their erection had been
a mistake at that time as there was no
drainage in that locality and the base
ments We're constantly full of water
! and to live in them as menace to
/ health and even life itself So the
company withdrew them from the mar
ket boarded up the windows and they
were allowed to remain idle until such
time as the seers could be put through
the property and adequate drainage be
provided.
The completion of the One Hundred
and Forty-frst street sewer system has
remedied this defect and the land will
now be as dry as any in Indiana Har-
Dor. leaving the easements in the
houses heretofore unsaleable free from
water.

Article V. Of the state constitution.

BY attaching the emergency clause
to the initiative and referendum bill,
the Senate made it possible to submit
the constitutional amendment to the
people at the approaching election. so
that two years hence the people can
initiate and refer the measures they
demand. Included in the bill Is pro-
vision which will give all cities and
towns the right to the initiative and
referendum in their local affairs. as
soon as the people adopt the amend.
ment ut the polls. The bill, therefore,
establishes the peoples rule not only
in statewide affairs but in the affairs
of the political units within the state.
When Gov. Shafroth heard the news
he Immediately sat down and penned
a letter to William Jennings Bryan,
telling all about the famous fight and
victory. The governor felt that the
passage Of the bill was an all.sufficient
vindication OF the extra session. This
victory alone pays ten times over the
cost Of the extra session thus far" he
said.

Alfalfa Seed

There is great deal of inquiry
this season concerning alfalfa seed
This Is no doubt due to the fact that
the native seed crop is very light
and the demands for the seed very
heavy.
large amount of seed from fore
ign countries has been shipped into
Colorado to supply this heavy de-
mand. Most of the imported seed
comes from Germany. Whether this
seed Is raised In Germany or not Is n
much disputed question. Hamburg
Germany Is one of the largest clear
ing points for alfalfa seed in Europe
Seed crops from all the seed produc-
ing regions OF Europe are cleared
through Hamburg, 80 that 1t Is very
har- to tell the source of the seed
when bought in German markets.
A number OF samples of this i'm
ported seed have found their way to
the Colorado agricultural college for
testing. Much OF this seed is M
parently OF good quality-qute free
from weed seed and other adultera-
tions. However. some OF II has cpr-
ried considerable amount of noxi-
Gus weed seed. Some OF these sam
pies were represented to be Turke-
stan. SO far none OF these samples

Potatoes have just been planted ut

first potatoes for the entire state.
MIR. Fitch asserts that the green
house has been chosen because the
proper temperature can be obtained
there but he insists that any dark.
warm cellar, is a good place in which
to grow these early season potatoes.
Mr.. Fitch has likewise decided
upon the ranch of A. w. Atkinson.
a mile north of Farmers Spur, ns
the place where he and James Nc
Cullough OF the Farmers club will
place their experiment station for
the year 1910.
The reason for choosing this place
Is the fact that 1t IL close to the
Agricultural college where both
Prof. Fitch and Prof. johnson may
make frequent visits.
1t Is tho plan of Prof. Fitch at
this time to spray some five acres
with bordeaux mixture using three
nozzles so as to cover both sides OF
the leaf and the stem.
This mixture has been success
