BOARD REFUSES

terday the Plan for an Arbitration
Committee Of Seven
Men.
AS TO ENGINEERS DEMANDS

New York, May before the rep.
resentatives of the engineers OF the 81
eastern railroads engaged in further
conference yesterday with United States
Labor Commissioner Neil and Judge
Martin A. Knapp of the United States
commerce court, in an effort to bring
about settlement of the question OF
increased wages demanded by the loco
motive drivers, Grand Chief Stone OF
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gireers remarked:
Il believe it will have to come to ar
bitration"
Early yesterday the committee Of rail
road managers announced il had submit
ted proposition to the interstate COM
merce commission TO serve as arbitrator
in the case and that the commission
had declined to serve and Mr.. Stone
he'd also refused to accept the commits
sion as arbitrator.
After series of conferences the rail-
road managers submitted an alternative
proposition providing for an arbitration
committee Of seven, one each to repre-
sent the railroads and the engineers, and
these two to select five umpires. In the
event that these representatives fail to
agree on the five umpires, the railroads
suggested that the latter be appointed
by the chief justice of the United
States.
1t was this proposition that the fed.
eral mediators and the engineers were
prepared to discuss yesterday.

OF prize winning tomatoes every season
Select a good piece of ground, and use
plenty of fertilizers pillow or spade deep,
and when ready to set out the plants,
mark off in rows, two feet one way and
four feet the other way, which will adj
NIT of cultivation as long as the season
lasts. After the ground is marked Off,
place stakes or small poles in the ground,
not less than five feet high, for each to-
mato plant. In choosing the plants, do
not select tree tomatoes, as they are
not prolific, but pick out some good,
smooth, meaty variety, then place the
plant on the south side of the stake
about four inches from the stake, train
same to stake as it grows, and tie same
to stake, using binder Irvine, or cloth
strings, which is preferable Many
times, when the vines are very rank,
two branches will start to grow from
the top of the vine, but clip one end of,
allowing only one to grow TO height
of Ave feet, then clip the tops and
keep them clipped, which will hasten the
ripening, and convert all the strength of
the vine into tomatoes.
When the plants are about eight or
ten inches high, little runners or shoots
will appear in the forks of the plant;
here is where the whole secret lies; these
runners sap the main vine, and turn all
the strength into vines instead of toma-
toes. When these little runners appear,
pinch them off, and allow only one main
vine to grow. The fruit buds or BIOS
SONS will also appear in the same fork,
h,tt do not disturb them Keep clipping
out the runners every time you find any,
or when you cultivate them.
BY following the above method You
will have nice rows of vines, hanging full
of large clusters of tomatoes, instead OF
a garden full of vines. The fruit will
be nice, will be early, clean, handy to
pick, and you can see what a great inn
provement this method is over the old
way. One tomato of this years growing,
which was selected from peck of toma-
toes that took first prize, tipped the
scales at two pounds.

POTATO cANKER FOUND.
Growers Cautioned Against Use of I'm

Washington, May Consul Botkin
Completion, n. b., reports people who

mental farm has given warning of a
serious canker disease among the inn
pGrtations from Great Britain and con-
tinental Europe.
1t had been known that a potato
eanker had found its way into New
foundland with potatoes imported from
Europe, but no such disease had yet
appeared in Canada. 1t is
one OF the most serious diseases known,
affecting not only the farm lands on
which potatoes are grown, but also de-
cidely injurious to the health of the CON
sumers of the potatoes. Boiling does not
destroy the injurious properties. !.
The disease is characterized by nobular
eNcrescenees which are often larger than
the tuber itself These cankers affect
the ewes of potatoes and are very small
in the early stages. Any tubers found
with smaller or larger outgrowth rising
from where the eyes are situated should
under no consideration be used for seed
or table purposes.
Warning is given to be exceedingly
careful in using potatoes that may have
been imported from Great Britain or
the continent of Europe, and TO destroy
all suspicious-looking potatoes by fire
ard not throw them on the ground. for
the disease will establish itself perma-
nently in the soil.

True Love.

Her husbands short and bald and fat,
And rather dull, to speak the truth,
His conversations very fiat,
He hasn't looks, or charm or youth.
Yet when she reads book about
Some brilliant hero, tall and slim,
She breathes; He's grand. Without a
doubt,
He's just like Jim!"
His wife is dumpy, very plain,
With mousy hair and shiny nose,
Yet when he reads of Fair Elaine
As beauteous as any rose,'
He mods serenely at his wife,.
As happy husbands often do,
And thinks, 'Elaine-upon my life
Is just like Sue!"
And though we cannot see as they
For all we know they may be right
For if love takes the sight away
He gives a sort of second sight,
So that-to meet the perfect test
To prove their merit, as it were,
Folks should resemble what is BEST
Be "iust like him--or her!"

PLAYS AND PLAYERS
POLI'S THEATRE

This week the Poli Players are pro- ducing their first melodrana of the season, t.The Barrier and in all their productions in the past are SCOT ing a hit. Crowded houses greet the popular organization at every perfor- nance of this great play of the north west. Dramatized by. Eugene Prese- brey from the book of the same title by Rex Beach. The play follows the book closely and lends itself readily to the stage
 It was originally produced in Chi cago, where it scored a triumphant success and later at the New Amster- dam Theatre in New York, and was proclaimed by all to be one of the most interesting plays in years The story is unique in the fact that it is differ ent from anything ever before writ ten and it's characters are odd and amusing with their crude custone and manners of living in a country where there was no law except that meted out by a citizens committee. The scenes are laid in Alaska at the time when the gold fever was at it's height in the quest of the turing metal. It was in this GodforSake ken, barren coun- try that John Gale sought refuge for a, crime which he had never commit ted in the States bringing with him the baby daughter of the woman he was accused of murdering. He mar rieS a squaw and everything is pro g'reSSing nicely until the gOEernn ent establishes a barracks on the Yukon and places in charge younk Ken- Iuch1du n1uleQ buTF01l, WHO IdIIS III love with Necia, who has grown to be beautiful young girl. She believes that she is a, half-breed, as dOeSs every one else except her supposed father, John Gale, and his faithful Indian wife, and realizing this fact she re- fuses to marry Burre1l In the mean time Dan Stark, the husband of the m urdered woman, comes to Alaska and after a stormy scene following his meeting with Gale admitted Gales innocence and his own guilt. Thus the m 1rderer is brought to justice and the percentage of Necia is esta ablished and everything ends happily for all con cerned.
