COUNCIL CAN'T GET QUORUM
THE MEMBERS ARE SEE-SAWING
OVER THE CARNIVAL.

A Majority of the Body Favors Let
ting the Show in, But Opposing
Members Won't Meet.
An interesting situation has arisen
in the city council over the question
of granting a permit to the Kross
Carnival Company to show in Daw-
son.
A petition numerously signed by
mercantile firms and citizens asking
the council to let the carnival come
contains the names of the mayor
and three of the six aldermen, which
is majority, but under the charter
lacks one of being a quorum. The
other three members being opposed
to the carnival have refused to at
tend a called meeting to consider
the petition, and in the absence of a
quorum no action can be taken.
The matter will thus stand until
the regular meeting on the first
Tuesday night in December, when a
quorum is expected to be present
and the question of carnival or no
carnival settled.

For the proper cultivation OF to-
ma.oes first plant firmly strong
STAKES in rows running north and
south four feet apart between the
rows and three feet apart In the row.
On the south side OF each stake place
one tomato plant. Keep auxiliary
buds pinched out, and as the stalks
grow tie loosely to stakes with any
coarse twine. Continue this treat
ment until the late fall.
BY this method OF culture the fruit
frond of plant is thrown from
main stem after ertain maturity.
An axil is the point where the leaf
emerges from q stem. At this point
a tomato plant throws a subsidiary
stem or miniature plant; by keeping
these pinched' out the fun growth is
concentrated In the original stalk or
stem, and the result is better fruit
ripened evenly.
Allow two stalks to grow in order
to develop leaves to protect the fruit.
The lower frond will mature first
and g4aGually, as the season ad-
yances, grow toward the top. In par
ticularly favorable seasons mature
fruit may be secured as much as sew
en- or lore feet from the ground late
in the fall The time for planting
varies with seasons, from. the 18TH OF
May to the 10th of June; never, how
ever, until warm weather has come.
1t is best to delay planting until the
ground is warm and vegetation well
started. A small, hardy plant is
more desirable than much larger
plant forced in hothouse.
In matter of varieties the larger
kinds, such as Ponderosa, which is
OF the uneven type, the Stone and
other of the smooth kind, give best
satisfaction. In this. culture several
varieties may be planted in the same
plat OF ground and at the same time,
and ample opportunity is thus given
