Alaska Fruit Prospects Poor

Experiments in fruit growing in
Alaska are unpromising, according to a
recent bulletin of the Agricultural De-
partment. The Department has been
working with various fruit trees, vines
aDd plants at several experimental sta,
tions in different parts of Alaska during
the past few years. The results indicate
that Alaska can never prove a rival of
the Pacific Coast States in the field Of
fruit culture. The climate is not good
enough. rainfall and cold are excessive
at different times, various kinds of fruit
trees are killed each year in whole or in
part by the frost, and there are other
unfavorable conditions which will prob
ably never be altogether overcome.

PLAYING
CHARMS HEARERS
Young Violinist PleaseS
Large Audience at the
Columbia.

From the opening bars of Lalo S
Spanish symphony, through the spirited
and pensive movements of Handel's
great sonata in D major, to the whim-
stcal, exquisite ''Humoreske" of Dvorak,
given as last encore, the genius of the
young Russian violinist, Mischa Elman.
completely charmed large audience at
the Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon.
At the age of nineteen, this youthful
artist possesses a fiawIessness OF tech
ntque and depth of musical feeling
which place his recital of yesterday af-
ternoon beyond criticism and leave his
critics to marvel at the perfection of
his art.
At the close of the Handel sonata the
applause of the audience became so in
slstent that, although Schubert's be-
loved "Serenade" stood next on the
give an encore. He played the Kreisler
arrangement of Couperin's la Pre-
cieuse." The artists own arrangement
of the Schubert 'Serenade,'' followed BY
Monsigny's vivacious Rigaudon," by
the pensive "Andantino" of Martini. as
arranged by Kreisler, and by kreisler' S
''Schon RosmaTin," playful and eK-
qutsite number, requiring the greatest
delicacy of perception and technique
these formed the group which made the
encore he played, with wonderful grace
and sentiment, a minuet from Bee
thoVen.
COttenet's Meditation" was one of
the most effective numbers on the pro-
gram, as Il Palpiti," by Paganini, was
one Of the most enjoyable. Though the
program closed with the latter number,
the audience refused to leave the the
ater until an encore had been given. and
Il was then that Mr.. Elman played the
"Humoreske" by DvOrak. his technique
in this number being as light and grace
full as ii had been masterful in the SYM
phony and sonata, with which the pro-
gram opened.
The aCcompanimen of Percy Kahn
greatly enhanced the effectiveness OF
the program. The concert was given
under the direction of Miss Cryder.

snow. Heretofore after a heavy snow,
the street cleaning contractor merely
laid off his force and stopped work,
throwing the work Of removing snow
onto the District. which had no equip
ment or organization for coping with
snow conditions.
Hereafter the District will have ma
chinery and force TO turn loose on the
snow, but the only expense charged to
the snow fund will be for labor; the
men employed for street cleaning at
other times will be used. Under this
arrangement, II is expected $4,000 will
be ample to take the city through any
winter.
To Buy New Equipment.
The District already owns sixteen
street sweeping machines, FIVE tank
wagons with rubber rollers, three flush
ing machines, forty sprinklers. and a
large number Of carts. About $4,000 Of
the appropriation of $500, 900 will be used
for purchase of new equipment and
horses and with the balance of the fund
the street cleaning will be done at least
as efficiently as 1t is done by contract,
which calls for the expenditure of
$3.50, 900 this year.
After the equipment is completed, the
degree of cleanliness of the streets will
be steadily improved, the ambition OF
the Commissioners being to earn for
Washington the reputation of having
the cIeanest streets of any city in the
world.
Another advantage to the District will
be in the existing organization In the
Street Cleaning Department When
street cleaning is done by contract it
is necessary for the District to employ
a supervisory force, to see that the
contractors meet their obligations.
When the District does its own street
cleaning this force will be devoted to
actual supervision of the Districts own
work instead of the work Of con-
tractor The inspectors, of whom there
are a score, will become foremen OF diff
ferent groups of municipal laborers.

After July l, 1911, the streets Of Wash
ington will be cleaner than they ever
were before. Their conditions will i'm
prove each year until the greatest pos
sible degree of cleanliness is obtained.
No serious condition resulting from
snow is likely TO develop in the future.
This is the advantage that will be en-
joyed by the District as a result of the
provision in the District appropriation
bill, authorizing the Commissioners to
clean the streets by day labor instead
Of by contract. The existing street
cleaning contract expires July /, but

intendent of Street Cleaning Department
nave already begun to outline plans
for doing the work after July l.

is 100000. Next year, however, an ad-
