east Of the bridge the contour Of the
valley and it's general characteristics
are almost exactly the same as on the
west side. but on the east side the land
is open to the home builder.
Valley Filling Up.
The valley is gradually filling up to
the eastward and is being prepared for
homes. For that reason the engineers
at the District building fear that some
day the valley will be filled up so that
the bridge will be nothing but a retain
ing wall for the filled-up valley. On the
west side of the bridge there will always
be the park. and in order to preserve the
bridge In ali its sightliness a proposition
Is afoOt to make a four and a half acre
park directly to the east of the bridge,
keeping the valley as valley and cut
ting curving road down the north slope
and bending westward under the bridge
and 50 on into Rock Creek Park.
Condition Long Foreseen.
The Piney Branch Park and bridge
proposition is an old friend at the Dis
trict building. Four years ago ". H.
Richards, now assessor, and then in
in charge Of street extensions, framed
up a plan to extend 18th street and build
an iron structure across the great gap
where Piney Branch cuts through the
high ground. It was figured ut that time
that the valley would eventually be
filled up.
MIR. Richards figures contemplated q
Neutrality-suspicious. iron and steel bridge
which would be more or less temporary
and which could be taken down at no
great loss or cost when the time came
that people would cross Piney Branch
valley on the level Of the street by means
of the filled-up pile Of earth and rock.
This plan was talked of at great length.
but finally Mr.. Douglass. at that time
engineer OF bridges. drew the plans for
the present fine structure, and the thing
went through Congress. The District
ohhcials have long foreseen the danger
OF the valley filing up to the east and
have been trying to establish the park
there for three years. The proposition
will 60 to Congress within q day or two,
with the urgent recommendation that the
four and half acres to the east of the
bridge may be condemned for park.

Short Cut to Propagation De.
scribed by Mr.. Oliver in
Department Bulletin.

What seems to be short cut to
plant propagation has been developed
by the Department Of Agriculture. ac-
cording to bulletin just issued by
the bureau OF plant industry. The au-
thor is George W. Oliver. 1t Is known
as 1.-The nurse plant method" Some OF
the officials OF the bureau said the only
thing tending to cast any suspicion on
the system was the fact that Oliver
did it. He has been the plant propa-
gator OF the Department for a long
time, and is one Of the limited number
Of people for whom plants seem willing
to sit on their hind legs and do other
tricks they will not perform for the

that 1t will bear within a season from

This is not the ordinary method OF
grating. as that Is a process requir.
ing the services of an expert, and
then frequently fails. Mr.. Oliver says
the new process Is simple. He has
gotten good results from it, anyhow
In this system the Seeding is planted
in pot. and when it has advanced
far enough for the first leaves to be

Their suits are here and their en-
trance has been officially made into the

to prove that they are a real scrapping,

open and give them a chance.
The suits are very neat, being royal
blue with white monograms on the
shirts and white stripes on the trou-
sers and blue and white caps. There
is going to be much rivalry in the
"Twilights' this year and especially
between the two teams put out by the
same firm, the "Whitmans" and the
"RexaIls.' The "Whitmans' claim
they will take the measure of the Rex

as the Rexall Tigers were strong con-
tenders for last years pennant and
led the league for more than half the
