A straw vote taken among members
OF the Northwestern Business Mems
association, following discussion u
the street car question. Monday night,
showed 33 against and 80 In favor OF
the Thompson-Hutchins franchise.
The pro-franchise organs, at various
times, have tried TO make the public
believe that the sentiment OF the mem
bership was overwhelmingly In favor
OF the franchise. The association IN
probably the most powerful OF the
civic bodies In the city and the fact
that a majority OF the members pres
ent, Monday night, went on record
against the ordinance Is significant
The vote also bears out the story
printed In The Times several weeks
ago, showing the real sentiment OF the
body, after the Free Press and Jour-
nal had falsely declared that the asso-
citation as a whole favored the fran
chise.
The meeting Monday night, took the
form OF a debate, Attorney Frank ID.
Eaman and Arthur J. Lacey defending
the franchise and Police Justice Ed
ward Jeffries and F. f. Ingram oppos-
ing Ii. Several others took part in the
general discussion.
The Builders & Traders Exchange,
on the suggestion of the Detroit Board
or Commerce, has called a special
meeting for Friday, at IL a. m. to dis
cuss the franchise. The principal
speakers on behalf of the settlement
plan will be Mayor Thompson and At
torney Frank T. Lodge.
II. Hansen, contractor and builder
OF No. 375 Hecla-ave., who was quoted
In the Free Press as being In favor of
the ordinance, denies having said any
such thing, and II the 5000 Danes in
Detroit are in favor OF the franchise,
as has been represented, he Is not
aware Of 1t, he says. Mr.. Hansen de-
clares that what he said to the Free
Press reporter was that he Is in favor
Of municipal ownership, and for that
reason he Is directly opposed to a
franchise of any kind, he explains.
Il don't see why we should give the
d. U r.. IL years more use Of our
streets and pay them for accepting the
present" he says.
Aid. Vernon received word from
Lansing. Tuesday morning, that the
supreme court had granted an order.
on his petition for a writ OF man
damus, directing the city election
commission to show cause next Fri
day, why 1t should not be compelled
to place the Vernon civil service bill
on the ballot at the special election
OF Jan. %, along with the Gilman
bill and the Thompson-Hutch
franchise. Each side will be allowed
only half-hour to present it's argu-
ments. This is taken to mean that
the court will give an early decision.

A very important factor in the ques-
ton OF the size of ships is that OF

ship than distributed among several
Three ships require three captains.
three officers constantly on deck in
charge, three men at the wheel and
three times as many lookouts. While
the same proportion threefold = of
deck and engineer force may not be
needed, the aggregate crews of three
vessels would nevertheless show
very considerable percentage in ex-
cess of one of the same aggregate ton
mage. All this means much more ex-
penSe for the same carriage of freight
and passengers.
The same order of considerations ap-
plies TO ships of war, but in a less de-
gree. because naval vessels are not for
purposes of gain. With them the run
ming expenses in this particular count
as with merchantmen, but the ques-
ton of profit is replaced by that OF
military efficiency, as ministering TO
the safety of the nation or to the as
sertion of national policies.
Suppose one ship carrying twelve
guns opposed to four carrying three
each. With the very wide train OF
modern guns-that is, the long are OF
circle over which their projectiles
can strike effectively-it is easily feast
bic to bring all the guns of four ships
upon single opponent Probably she
on her part may bring also upon each
enemy three guns, fire power equal
to his, but the concentration of four
fold impact upon a single vessel pro-
duces upon her crew a corresponding
physical as well as moral impression,
diminishing their military efficiency,
their power of rapid loading and aim
ing. not to speak of the proportionate
ly greater chances of material injury.
If there be the same number Of hits
on both sides the one will have been
struck four times as often as any one
opponent If, as would be very proper,
the one begins by concentrating all her

lists she ought to beat them down, but

Matter Of Formation.
The opal has no color in the sense of
pigmentatiOn. To break open an opal
In order to observe its hues would be
the equivalent to killing the goose that
laid the golden eggs. Neither golden
eggs nor rainbow hues would be found.
Opal consists of hydrated silica. 1t
is not uniform In texture. If the word
surface may be used for interior con-
ditions it might be said that the opaline
silica is In the form Of surfaces and
layers that lie compactly against one
another. These layers refract the light
at various angles, giving forth the
colored flashes In the same way that
a pure crystal prism refracts the col
ors of the spectrum. Technically speak
ing, these layers of silica are said to
possess different index of refraction
from that of the matrtx. As the opal
is moved the various layers break the

the doubling of flowers, in both of
which processes the stamens and
carpets are transformed into sterile
leaves.
Before closing this matter one or
two practical deductions should be
made: If our trees do not bear, we
must check their vigorous growths
in August and September. Don't
keep on cultivating or irrigating your
trees during these months. Pinch
off the terminal buds in the early
autumn and let the food material
gather around the rudimentary buds.
Don't go to irrigating your trees in
October or you may change the fruit
buds into leaf buds. We had tlume
that leaked in October and thoroughly
soaked up the soil around few Rome
Beauty trees. The next year these
trees bore no apples while the others
Of the same variety near by that
received no water we're loaded with
fruit the next fall This irrigation
caused the stamens and carpets to be
changed into green leaves. AS apples
we're very high that fall, that leak the
previous fall cost us at least 500.
When are fruit buds formed on our
tree fruits such as apples, pears, etc?
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-01

Sorauer says: Gan increase in the
number of fruits demand an increase
in the number of flower buds, and as
these are generally formed in the pre-
ceding season, the horticulturist
must extend his operation to that
period. Every day experience teaches
us that the period of sexual reproduc
ton does not, as rule, set in until
the vegetative growth production of
leaves) begins to diminish or to cease
entirely" Many persons think that
fruit trees develop their Towering
buds early in the spring of the same
year in which the fruit is borne.
That is a mistake as can be seen from
the quotation. The fruit buds are
formed in August, September and to
some extent in October and then
remain dormant till the next spring.
A few years since professor in one
of our colleges, made the astounding
statement that leaf buds might be
transformed into fruit buds in the
spring anu dS IoSuII, podoh oroeo
might bear some peaches notwith-
standing the fact that all the fruit
buds had been killed by a winters
freeze. The result was that he got
laughed at Recently I saw a state
ment in the papers that apple trees
needed cold weather in order to the
formation of their fruit buds. Such
statements are founded in ignorance
or forgetfulness.
