Cure for Alkali

Almost all soil contains more or
less alkali. Whenever the soil strata
is such that there Is no natural un-
der drainage. and water Is applied
to the surface it generally collects
in the basin. the surface of the un-
derground water gradually rises and
when it gets near the surface. excess
sive evaporation occurs and as the
moisture passes away as pure water
the salts contained in the water are
left at the surface of the ground. In
due time the soil in Colorado takes
on a white appearance, and yegeta-
ton suffers.
Naturally the cure for this con-
dition is to lower the water table,
and If there is no natural drainage,
this must be done by artificial
drainage. Anything that will pro-
vide channel through which the
underground water may get away
will answer the purpose. Brush.
boulders, flag stones. tile and lum-
Der have been successfully used.
In many cases tile have proved
unsatisfactory. Both cement tile
and some burned clay tile have
shown the effect of alkali, and there
are instances where each has disin-
tegrated and gone to pieces in a
few years.
The open bottomed wooden box
seems to last as we'll as anything,
and there are instances where
these have been in service for 1S
years and the wood is still sound.
Wood kept absolutely dry will last
Indefinitely. and wood kept soaked
will also last indefinitely. There
are instances where piles have been
driven and kept continually covered
with water. After centuries Of time
these piles have been removed and
found to be as sound az they were
the day they were driven.
A wooden pipe or box us9d for
drain is surrounded by moist earth
and water continually runs through
it. SO it is saturated, and therefore
has long life under these condi-
tions.
Get a good engineer to plan and
lay out your drains for you and 1t
is necessary for him to make an ex-
animation of the subsurface soil as
we'll as of the surface soil in order to
intellfgently place the drain.
This is common statement:
my ground will not drain, for l
have tried it." If an investigation is
made. however. nine times out of
ten it will be found that the drain
is an open drain, the banks have
caved and choked the channel, and
weeds have been allowed to grow in
it. OF course it won't work under
these conditions.
Wooden boxes are easier to lay
properly than tile, for the sections
are longer snd there is less danger
of fitting and choking the channel.
Remember. however, that in all
cases careful work must be done II
the drain is to be a success. 1t is
not an exaggeration to say that all
land can be drained If the system
is properly planned and the work
properly done, and this is the per-
manent cure for alkali.

GENERAL Y.
STRIKE. IS
FAILING
MANY UNIONS STRUCK FOR A
DAY, SIMPLY AS A
PROTEST.

(By United Press Leased Wire)
PHILADELPHIA, March e-Oniy
the most radical Of union leaders
and followers today will not con-
cede that the great general strike
here is failure.
Throughout the city it is practi-
cally acknowledged that the SYM
pathetic strike designed to force
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit COM
pany TO arbitrate it's differences
with it's car men has not proved
successful. The primary causes for
failure are attributed to the disin-
clination of conservative unions to
violate trade contracts and to the
prevalence of the open shop system
here. Labor organization like the
typographical unions insisted that
their members should not violate
ironclad contracts.
Many of the largest plants here,
such as the Cramp ship yards and
the Baldwin Locomotive works, are
not unionized and these were not
affected by the central strike.
Moreover, it is conceded that
many union men struck simply as
protest against the city admins
tration over it's attitude toward the
car strike and the labor question
generally. These men, it is said
now have returned to work satisfied
that they had done all that could
be expected of them.
Many special police were with
drawn from duty today. This in.
dicates that the city officials be-
lieve the crisis has passed.

matter since November, the city

IN OLD WESTMINSTER ABBEY
Where England's Kings and Queens
Are Crowned and Buried in State.

In all London the most interesting
building is Westminster Abbey. For
over eight hundred years kings and
queens have been crowned there or
buried in the vaults OF the great
church. At first il was intended that
only persons of royal blood should lie
within the abbey. but afterwards many
great men were given burial there
until now there are more graves Of
celebrated men and women within the
church than in any one cemetery in
the world
In the gland old abbey everything
is most beautiful and costly. Ii order
to see the magnificent pointed arches
the costly stone pillars. the stained
glass windows. the rich wood carving.
as well as the bronzes and marble
busts OF England's famous men. one
would have to spend much time in
Westminster Abbey.
The building being composed of
chapelS built al different times during

usually visitors require guide books
to learn OF the many interesting parts
OF the great abbey. In the poets cor
