HOW TO TREAT THE SOIL.
Professor Shaw Gives Instructions Whore
Crops Have Failed In Montana

In very many instances where the
crops have failed in Montana, the
farmers are allowing the land to re-.
main undisturbed. This means that
the land is losing any moisture that
IL may have contained. and this will
thus far affect the crop adversely the
1olloWlng season. The instances in
which it would be commendable to
leave such lands undisturbed are
those in which they are producing
enough to Justify cutting the crop
for hay.
Where the seed has failed to ger
inmate the land should be treated as
a summer fallow. Where the germin-
alton is partial and some crop is
growing on IT, e land, it should also

when seeding had been completed,
the moisture which 1t contained will

may be avoided by summer fallowinc

Where the seed has failed to ger

Where the termination has been

the annual meeting OF the State Pres
association held this year at Boze
man Thursday, Friday and Saturda
of last week. The meeting was no
only one of the most interesting bu
one of the most enjoyable meets W
have ever attended.
"Bozeman, the beautiful" was il
gala dress and mood and entertained
the one hundred and twenty-five del
egates right royolly--the men o.
Bozeman are generous and chival'
rOus, while the ladies are noted fol
their lavish hospitality and theil
sweet and gracious personality. Sit.
uated as the city is, in the wonder
fully productive Gallatin valley, with
the adjacent land yielding abundant
haryests of grain, other areas of lux
uriOus groWths of alfalfa aud hay,
and still other fields covered with
large and thrifty sugar beets, the
country seemed a paradise, and in
striking contrast to the semi-arid
districts represented by some of the
delegates.
Thursday evening a public meeting
was held at the opera house where
after an address of welcome by May
or Berthot OF BoZeman, and q reply
by DR.. o. M. Iandstrum of Helena,
president of the association, speeches
were made by Senator Thomas II.
Carter, Maj. j II. Durston, Charles
Hartman of Bozeman, f. j. Atkins
of Billings, Judge Cheadle, e. M.
Cooney Of Great Falls, S. b. Linfield
of BOzeman, and w. G. Conrad of
Great Falls. Music was furnished
by Professor and Mrs. Houston,
Mrs. Gen. Wilson and Miss Love-
lace. Governor Norris was on the
program for an address but was una
voidably detained in the southern
states.
Friday, the executive meeting was
held at the Eiks Hall and the discus
sion of matters pertaining to the well
fare of the Montana press occupied
the entire morning and afternoon.
Attorney General Galen was present
and read a number of bills that he
had previously drafted for the asso-
citation. These were amended in
part and will be presented at the
next legislative assembly in the hope
of their enactment.
Friday evening the entertainment
was double header-a reception for
the ladies and a smoker for the gen
tlemen.
The ladies of the association were
delightfully."- entertained at a recep-
ton at the beautiful home of Mr..

LUNCH IN TROLLEY CARS.
EAT, Rubber and Be Happy Is Ore
gOn Motto.

An innovation in electric railway
transportation that is said to be unique
in America is about to be tried on an
interurban road running out of Port
land, Ore, to Salem, the state capital.
and other Willamette valley points.
This is the serving OF a free lunch on
the interurban trains at meal time.
The Inauguration of a regular dining
car service would be cumbersome and
mean handling an additional heavy
car. but by putting on buffet observa-
ton car, lunch can be served with little
inconvenience
Porters on the cars will serve the
lunch without charge and it is be-
lieved the new service will prove very
popular. Regular charges will be
made for observation car seats, but this
toll will include the luncheon, so the
passenger will have the unique expert
ence of getting something for nothing
from a railroad company.
The trolley road has recently been
completed by New York and Philadel-
phia capitalists and is already one of
the best equipped interurban lines in
the west. Cars uniform with the best
Pullman equipment VIII be used. with
smoking compartments, buffet and OBJ
servation platforms, affording all the
comforts of modern travel even for the
comparatively short distances covered

RALLIES TROLLEY CARS.
Overhead Wire System Is Used in
Rural Districts.

The problem of reaching the noun
tain villages of Essex county by an
electric traction system is solved in
Europe, where trolley cars are run
without rails. The overhead wire is
used, however, an arrangements which
may be made a bit of past history by
the new Edison storage battery car.
The country side may enjoy cars with
out rails or overhead wire.
AS long ago as 1882 the cars without
rails began to be known in Europe,
and now are regularly used for paSsen-
gers and merchandise in Germany and
France, and are being tried in Holland,
says a writer in Casters Magazine for
February. The trolley and car are so
contrived that one can turn out for
another. Two wires are used and con-
nection made to the car by double
contact pole, but instead of a trolley
wheel the sliding aluminium block is
used. On some lines these cars pull
trailers and in transporting merchan-
disc have thre or four cars.
''The great featuret of the railless
system, of course" says the writer, lis
the freedom from the expense of track
construction, and consequently, also,
from. the additional high costs of right
of way. In the matter of operating
cost the railless system is free from
the expense of maintenance of track,
and has correspondingly low burden
for amortization" But as to right of
way there can not be entire relief from
cost as long as supports are needed for
overhead wires. AS long as the public
own streets and highways and private
companies use the streets for private
streets and participation in the income
from the streets through charges for
the special privilege conferred by the
franchise"

Contracts Have Been Let for
RELAXING Double Tracks.
NEW LINE re ST, LOUIS
Various Short Lines and Ex-
tensions on List.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad Circles.

With view of putting its physical
property in the best possible condition,
the Rock Island this spring will start a
program Of improvement, which grad
ually will be extended, until the track
and terminals over the entire system
have been raised to the highest stand
ard. At least this is the information
which the officials of the company are
spreading.
No efforts will be made to build new
lines. H. L. Nudge. the new president
of the road has made it understood
throughout the entire official roster,
that all extensions will have to wait
until the standard of the present prop
critics has been raised.
Already contracts have been let for
the relaying of the entihe main line
mileage in Illinois. The double track
line between Chicago and Moline will
be replaced with rails, weighing 100
pounds to the yard, the heaviest rails
manufa ctured. This part of the system
embraces $50 miles, and as soon as the
weather will permit, it is understood,
the work will be commenced on at least
$50 miles of this division.
Another improvement which is given
serious consideration by Rock Island
authorities is the construction of a new
short line between Alliance. Ia, and
Council Bluffs. This will effect de-
between Chicago and Omaha, but is
more desired on account of the grade
reduction which will follow. If this
work is finally projected, as many Of
ficials believe it will be, it will mean
the added expenditure of several mil
lions of dollars.
For the past year the Rock Island
has been spending considerable money
in putting the line between st. Louis
and Kansas City in first class condi
ton. Underground rails are being laid
and although already there has been
large outlay of funds for the work,
enough money is on hand to insure
high standard line between the two
Missouri cities. This work probably
will be finished by July 1, officials
have planned. but allowing for posi-
bic delays will be ready by Septem-
Der l.
This will materially help Topeka as
all southwestern traffic comes this
way. The Rock Island is awaiting the
completion of the pending improve
ments before it gets in the market for
ST. Louis business. When the line is
all ready for operation, new fast trains
are promised Topeka, as we'll as in
creased freight facilities.

ALL YEAR TOURIST FARES.
Liberal Provisions for Return Limits
Are Attractive.

All year tourist fares of unusual in
terest are being considered by the west
ern railroads and may be placed in
effect within few weeks, though some
of the roads have raised objections to
their adoption. The proposition has
been made to authorize all year tour
list rates for Central American tours,
including Panama and the canal zone,
Costa Rica, Guatemala and British
Honduras. The attractiveness of the
proposed fares for the tourist is seen
in the liberal provisions for return
limits, which call for reaching Chicago
or other starting point one year from
the date of sale.
On the going trip it is proposed to
make a limit of ninety days to New
Orleans, beyond which the tickets
would be good with in the final return
limits, Within the ninety days stop
overs would be allowed south of Cairo,
ILL.,. and Evansville Ind, and at St.
Louis On the. southbound trip. Beyond

RAILWAYS FIGHT MANY FIRES.
Pennsylvania Employees Extinguish 321
Fires Last Year.

The annual report of the insurance
department of the Pennsylvania rail-
road shows that the company's own

ty valued at more than $9,000,0 900, yet
the loss from them amounted to only
about $4,000. The report derives
added significance from the fact that
during the past year additional equip
ment for extingiushing fires has been
placed at available points. The roads
own organization for fight fires has
been further developed by special
training of employees and additional
locomotives in yard service have been
equipped with special apparatus for
use in case of fire.
A circular is to be issued by the in
surance department giving the causes
of all fires on the Pennsylvania system
east and west of Pittsburg in 1909, in
order that the employees may realize
that their efforts to minimize losses
from fire are appreciated, and further,
that their attention may be called to
the number of fires occurring from
preventable causes.
During the year 1909 there were 929
fires on the entire system, involving

ONLY WHEN injuries RESULT.
Railroads Object to Reporting All .Ac-
cidents to Commission.

al
cidents to Commission.
When a committee CT railroad mag
mates went to Senator Cu1lom of the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce not long ago to suggest changes
in the Esch bill requiring all railroads
to report all accidents to the interstate
commerce commission, the senator
from Illinois told them If the railroad
men were wise they would abandon the
habit of finding fault with legislation
which the people demand. The wise
thing for them to do, he said, was to
let the will of the people have its way
without raising opposition at every
turn. The argument he advanced was
that the will of the people eventually
would be enacted into Law, whatever
the railroad lawyers did to oppose it.
The reply was that, first, the railroad
managers wanted a law that would
Make one that is good, SO there will
be no necessity for testing it in court.
They requested that the operation
of the Esch dill should be limited to
gers and employees while the common
carriers are engaged in interstate COM
merce.''
This clause limiting the application
of the act to carriers when they are
engaged in interstate commerce does
not appear in the bill as passed by the
house, but the railroad lawyers argued
that without such limitations the bill
would be unconstitutional under the
supreme courts decision in the en-
ployer's liability case. II
The railroads also asked that the
bill be limited to accidents involving
injuries to persons, and that no ac-
count be taken of accidents involving
injuries to property. The proposed
limitation would make it impossible
for the interstate commerce commits
sion to investigate accidents resulting
in injury to freight or rolling stock.
Nor do the railroads wish investiga-
tions of accidents to be made by in
spectors as is provided in the Esch
bill. They ask that the commission as
a whole, or some member of it. make
the Investigation.

HoMEsEEKERs AND CoLoNIsTs
Big Business Results on All Western
Railroads.

Kansas Civ, Mo, March 14.-With
the combined attractions of colonists'
and homesee kers' rates, Kansas City
yesterday experienced one of the heav-
lest movements of passenger traffic in
recent months. which probably will be
eclipsed by the record today. Yester-
day was the first day of the new colon
lists rates. Most of the converging
lines were compelled to draw on sur
plus passenger equipment for accom-
modations. 1t was also the regular
semi-monthly occasion of homeseekers'
rates.
Nearly all the business, however,
was of local origin. Today it is ex-
pected the records of yesterday will be
broken, when the passenger traffic
from points east arrives. The second
day is always the heavier in the horne
seeker business, and the same will
likely hold good with the colonists.
The colonist traffic yesterday wasn't
confined to any particular section. The
Rock Island and Santa Fe handled a
