TRAFFIC ON FLEET
STREET, LONDON, ENGLAND

1t has been customary for num-
ber of years to take a census of the
tarffic for a single day upon some prin-
eipal London thoroughfares. The same
day of the month has been selected as
nearly as possible from year to year,
so that the enumeration might be
made under approximately similar con-
ditions.
One street chosen for the census is
Fleet street, very important thor
oughfare extending from one end of
the Strand to Ludgate Circus. 1t is a
convenient and direct route to the city
proper and is traversed by Several
lines of omnibuses The striking fea-
ture of the census on Fleet street (and
this would be true in greater or lesser
measure of all the other London
streets) during the last FIVE years has
been the rapid displacement of horse
drawn vehicles.
The traffic on Fleet street was taken
for twelve hours, from a. m. to
p. M. on April 10, 1911, and compared
to the same period and day in 1907.
On April 10, 1907, 4,l43 horse cabs and
omnibuses passed along Fleet street
and only 1,043 motor cabs and omni-
buses. On the day that the census was
taken this year a strike was treaten-
ed by the taxicab drivers, so that the
number of hansomes in use was, in all
probability, much in excess of the
daily average.
On the 1907 census day there were
only forty-eight taxieabs, against L.
902 horse cabs; but on April 10, 1911
the number of horse cabs was redue
ed to 391 and the number of taxicabs
increased to l,616.
The sixtytwo motor vans passing
Fleet street on April 10, 1911. was q
increase of 1866 per cent ove- T.
numher in use on the co~res0on''r
dav in 1909 and nearly a9 NO. coy
n 1910. The increasing use of motor
vans is urged in London because of
the great delay that is now occasioned
to motor traffic by the procession of
heavy horse-drawn wide drays proceed
ing slowly along the principal business
streets. many of which are very mar
row and easily blocked
The total motor traffic on Fleet
street more than quadrupled in the
four years. On the April day in 1907,
1,126 vehicles passed; in 1908, 2,073;
in 1909, 1899; in 1910, 1854, and in
1915, 4,481.-Consular Report.

MAY ARRANGE AN
OTHER AUTO RACE

1t is highly probable that there
will be another Reno Winnemucca race
between the Buick and the Doris cars
over the same course either for a purse
to be hung up by enthusiasts or for q
side bet between Judd and Lundy, the
drivers of the respective cars.
The Doris supporters at Reno say
that Lundy went out with new 1912
car, which was untried and which had
not been driven enough to get best
results from. Some Of these enthusi-
asts say they will be willing to con-
tribute to purse for a return race.
Mr.. Judd stated yesterday that he
would have nothing to say about such
race until it was presented to him
in definite form. All he would say
was that it costs money to run race
like that, and that it would take
something very attractive in the way
of inducement to convince him that
he would be justified in engaging in
another contest.
The Buick car left here Sunday
morning on the return trip on sched-
ule time and reached Reno at 2:49:3O
p. m. The Doris car left As minutes
later but got stuck outside Of town
and had to be hauled back. After
having repairs made it left again yes
terday afternoon with the intention Of
trying to make record trip to Reno.
Unfortunately Lundy, the driver, got
off on a wrong road and gave up the
attempt to beat the time of the Buick.
The Doris car was expected to reach
Reno sometime this afternoon.

new COMPANY
ELECTS OFFICERS

This afternoon the first meeting of
the stockholders and directors of the
Continental Lake Irrigation company
was held at the offices of Salter &
Robins, the local attorneys. This com
pany was only recently Incorporated.
The stockholders meeting was held
first. There were present G. K. Havi-
land, f. B. Hill, G. E. Robins, M. l..
Hill, G. w. Garfield and II j. Salter.
Commissioner Haviland was chosen
chairman and T. j. Salter secretary of
the meeting After the articles of in
corporation were read by Judge Rob-
ins, the bylaws of the company were
submitted for the consideration of the
stockholders and adopted without
amendment. Then the following were
unanimously chosen directors of the
new company: Commissioner c. r.
Haviland, f. B. Hill M. L. Hill, G..
E. Robins and G. w. Garfield, where
upon the stockholders meeting ad
Journed and directors meeting was
held. At this the following were
elected officers of the new company:
&C. f. Haviland, president; T. j.
Salter, secretary and treasurer; G. f..
Robins, vice president, and f. B. Hill,
managing director.
The company has oeen organized
for the purpose of irrigating and ex-
plotting the land in the vicinity of
Denio. The company owns Continent
al lake. which covers an area of about
four miles in length and two miles in
width. The land to be irrigated COM
prises an area of about 5000 acres,
which is practically unsettled. The
lake drains a watershed of something
like 350,00 acres in which is included
the Pine Forest. Summit lake and
Thousand Creek lake and the water is
of splendid quality.
In Pueblo valley there are about
twenty-five flowino wells of depth Of
from 25 to As feet, with plentiful
supply of excellent water. The land
to be irrigated is very level and ac-
cording to Mr.. Hill, about the best
alfalfa seed land in the United
States. Tt is said there is a good
market for anything that can he rails
ed there and that alfalfa in that re-
gion was never known to go below $40
per ton, usually bringing much
higher price.
The contract for the big main from
the lake has been let to Robert Wick
ers of DEMO- who began work on it
the latter part of June. All the own
ers of property in the district have al
ready fled application for water with
the company. among others G. w.
Scott, d. D. Defenbaugh and d. M.
Palmer.
Tt is the intention of the managers
of the company to begin an active
campaign for the settlement of the
district. Exhibits will be made at the
Omaha and Salt Lake land shows and
it is probable that Mr. Hill will visit
these places and take personal charge
of the exhibits

ALLEGED BURGLAR
SHOT AT CERLACH

George Taylor, commonly known as
Bulldog Shorty was shot by a
bartender in Kings saloon at Ger
lach Monday night. 1t is stated that
the bartender, seing Taylor in the rear
of the place acting in suspicious
manner and thinking he was a bur
glar, ordered him away. When Tay-
lor did not comply with the command,
the bartender shot, the bullet striking
the man.
DIR. G. U. Hall was summoned from
Winnemucca and went out on the
Wsetern Pacific Limited yesterday
morning. Upon examining the patient,
DR.. Hall found that the steel -jacketed
bullet had entered the right breast,
just above the nipple, passed around
the body to the second dorcal verte-
brae, where it took downward
course, lodging in the flesh at the
waist line. The bullet was extracted,
the wound dressed and the man
brought to Winnemucca on the "Lim-
ited' this mornino and paced in the
county hospital. The injury is not
considered serious, being little more
than a flesh wound.
Taylor received his rather odd nick
name from the fact that few weeks
ago he was severely bitten in the face
by a bulldog in the rear of the same
saloon, not many feet from where he
was shot.

to move under high-wind pressure
should be plowed transversely to the
wind.
Perhas the most important sugges-
tions of all are to get humus into the
soil as quickly as possible, to use the
disc harrow freely on windward side
of field if soil begins to move, and to
plant milo, Kafr corn, etc, in long,
alternating strips with small grain
crops and with fallow. A very careful
study should be made of the crops
and methods whereby humus may be
added most successfully and at least
expense.

GERMANS UTILIZE CON-
SIDERABLE FRUIT WASTE

As stated in Daily Consular and
Trade Reports for April 20, 1911, fruit
waste, particularly apple and pear
peelings and cores, are imported into
Germany on considerable scale, not
withstanding that the duty of 4 marks
per 100 kilos (95 cents per 220
pounds) is the same as the duty on
sound dried fruit
The total importations amounted to
3,1l7 tons in 1910, as against 2,219
tons in 1909, of which the United
States furnished 1919 tons in 1909, as
against 2,201 in 1909. No part of these
importations reached Hamburg. al
though it is not impossible that Hom-
burg importers might succeed in seeur-
ing a portion of the business.
The principal and probably the only
users of evaporated peelings and cores
are the syndicated jelly manufactur-
ers, who buy their raw materials
through their own managing director.
These manufacturers are able to use
not only apple and pear waste, but al
so apricots and plum waste, all of
which must be properly dried, the ap-
Pile and pear waste being shipped in
casks and sacks and the other waste
in pressed bales and sacks, packages
to weight at least 110 pounds gross.
The prices paid vary with each
fruit crop and were particularly high
this season, especially as to apple
peelings and skins. Under normal cir
cumstances these goods should cost
German buyers 1898 to $50 per 220
pounds Goo kilos) c.i. f. port of ar
rival in Germany or Holland. April
cot pulp in pressed bales should cost
here, in ordinary times, about $3.50
