Of Scientific Forestry.

San. Diego, Cal, Is said to be the
first American city to take up scien-
tific forestry as municipal enter
prise. The city owns 1000 acres
of waste land, a heritage from the
time when 1t was a Mexican pueblo.
This tract Is now set aside for grow.
Ing eucalypti, and last spring 10000
seedlings were planted.
Eucalyptus Is very valuable and
takes the place Of many OF the more
familiar hardwoods that are becoming
SO expensive; 1t grows with truly trop-
ical rapidity; 1t will stand an enor-
nous amount OF cutting and seems to
thrive under 1t, and grove once well
started apparently will last forever.
In San Diego, says the Survey, the
more optimistic taxpayers are looking
forward to time when the forest Will
relieve them of all taxes and perhaps
even pay them for being citizens OF
San Diego! They are not the only
people In an American city to be con-
graduated on doing good municipal
business.
July 6, 1911. the Detroit house OF
correction passed its fiftieth milestone.
During the last 80 years over $1,000
600 in profits were turned over to the
city Of Detroit to the families OF pris-
oners and to the prisoners themselves.
Since 1880 the city Of Detroit has an
nually received sums ranging from
$s,O16.83 to $52,711.64.
The original expenditure by the city
of 31S9,841.36 has been turned back
into the treasury Of the municipality.
the institution has paid its own way
and in the so years show fine bal
ance Of $l,254,l7S.15. In addition to
this showing. the prisoners since July.
1901, have been receiving financial
benefits ranging from $5.95S.14 to 49,
670.38 annually.
In addition to amounts paid the pris-
oners, some of which are sent by the
men to their families, provision Is also
made for the families OF those who
are imprisoned on the charge of aban-
donment. This is accomplished under
q statute which provides that $50 a
week for the wife and an additional
so cents for each child under Is years
of age be paid them out Of the funds
of the institution.

leQend OF the Niger.

There is curious legend connect
ed with the source OF the Niger. Ira
dition says that devil lives inside
the rock whence the river springs.
The natives are very ,snperstitious,
and greatly fear this demon who is
supposed to kill any individual who
dares to look at the source. Hence.
when showing stranger the spot,
they cover up their faces and walk
backward in the direction OF the
source. pointing toward 1t with hand
outstretched behind the back.-Wide

SENSATIONAL BREAK

Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Heay!
general selling in the cotton market
today developed a sensational break
in prices. Active new crop cotton
sold fully $3.50 per bale under the
closing prices of Saturday and about
$3.50 per bale under the high records
made just before the publication OF
the last government crop report early
in the month.
Selling orders seemed to come from
practically all directions, including
heavy offerings from some of the
leading spot houses, which recently
were credited with having expressed
expectations of materially lower pric-
es while there was renewed liquida-
ton of long accounts, southern selling
and other offerings, based on the in
creasing new crop movement and the
reported failure of trade demand TO
develop the II cent level.

COURT RESTRAINS 5. :. 90. FROM
ERECTING ANY MORE
WIRE
HEARING ON AUGUST Is
FINAL Hearing on Injunction Procced-
ings VIII bc Held on
Thursday.

Alleging that their city franchise
was being lnfrnged upon by the
Sand Springs railroad company, the
Tulsa Corporation company yesterday
took the first step in what II Is be-
leved will develop into an electric
light franchise fight. when they Sc
cured an injunction In the superior
court restraining the Sand Springs
railroad from erecting poles or wires
In the city streets and from selling
electric power to any one In the city.
The Tulsa Corporation in their pc
titIon alleged that the Sand Springs
company was now erecting poles and
stringing wires on Archer street for
the purpose Of selling electricity and
had made tentative contracts with
several persons to buy power. rms
they claimed Is In violation OF their
franchise which gives them the sole
right to use the streets for this pur-
pose as the franchise to the Sand
Springs company only gives them the
use of the streets for the purpose OF
running a street car line.
The court granted the temporary
injunction and set August 10 as the
date for final hearing as to whether
the Injunction should be made perma-
nent or dissolved.
In discussing the suit last night
Paul M. Galloway. manager OF the
Tulsa Corporation declared that his
company did not take this action as
a rival company but only as a heavy
tax payer in the city.
The Sand Springs people are put
tirg up their poles and wires In the
city streets without the slightest au-
thority from the people OF Tulsa In
the shape Of franchise. Some time
ago, the same people built a water
limo through certain streets, without
any authority, tearing up sidewalks
and streets leaving the property own
ers without any recompense. In the
absence OF the city attorney VINO
should properly bring this action, our
company as heavy taxpayers and ones
liable to be damaged took the matter
into our own hands. The railroad
company has built lines close to our
power wires and this draws power
from our wires to theirs, which Is
clearly an infringement on our fran
chise"
