Foraue Plants.

For four important reasons, the clio
vers are among the most valuable OF
forage plants. First the manurial cost
OF their production Is exceptionally
low. Second, they are richer In pro-
tein than most OF the forage crops;
far richer than the grasses. Third.
they enrich the soil In nitrogen as
well as subsoil II, SO that the follow
ing crops are almost invariably good.
Fourth. In permanent mowings they
ultimately so enrich the soil In nitro
gen that the grasses as well AZ the
clovers make vigorous growth.

NEW YORK, June THAT a great

an active hand in pushing the matter
before the various state legislatures,

The portion of the highway that lies
through the states of California, Mis-

Harvey Herrick, the famous auto

REMARKABLE GROWTH OF AUTO
TRUCK BUSINESS IN AMERICA

According to an Eastern authority
there now are 10000 motor trucks in
use in the United States, as compar-
ed with 100000 pleasure cars, show
ing that in the past few years the use
of motor trucks for commercial pur-
poses has attained a great deal Of
popularity
During the past year, in twenty-five
large cities the increase in the num-
Der was 5000, or an average Of 209
for each city. In New York City
the number is now 1890; in Chicago,
1900; Philadelphia, 1OOO Boston, 900;
Los Angeles, 100; Detroit, 400; st.
Louis, 400; San Francisco, 80; Pitts
burg, 300; indianapolis, 27O; Wash
ington, 200.
It is estimated there are 26O con-
Germs which are either building
trucks or have made them which have
turned out 1880 power vehicles, of
which 1908, it is estimated, are not
now in use.
Statistics compiled from $50 con-
Germs enables the Eastern authority
to estimate that there are 6S10 trucks
used for miscellaneous purposes. In
tho express and transfer business
there are 2615, the breweries use
254S, department stores 24O3, sight
seeing and bus lines 1860, gas and
electric companies 1875, general
manufacturing 1920, while the rest of
the 10000 is divided among ffty-one
other classes. It is interesting TO
note that there are about 1860 pieces

ARMY ENGINEERS
BUY MOTOR CYCLES

The growth of motorcycle popular
ity in Hawaii is quite a remarkable
phenomenon, and one which shows no
signs Of waning. The remarkable de-
pendability of the modern machine,
combined with it's low initial cost and
very light cost of operation and up
keep, has won the favor Of many
business men who would now feel Sc
riously handicapped without it. Be
sides the motorcycle fits in where an
automobile would not, and for some
kinds of work is in a place by it.

MAIL MAN DISCARDS HORSE
AND CART FOR AUTOMOBILE

Uncle Sans post office department
has a reputation of being unprogres-
sive; but be that as it may, it has
an employe in Honolulu who is not.
John F. Silva, mail collector, who
at the present time gathers up twice
day all the mail deposited in the
drop boxes between Emma street and
Diamond Head is about to discard
his horse and cart and replace them
with an automobile. In fact he has
already purchased through the Schu-
man Garage a neat little Brush run
about. which arrived by the Lurline
this week. He will probably not put
it into commission until the first of
July, in the meantime spending his
spare time in getting familiar with
the new machine.
Mr.. Silva's position requires him
to furnish his own equipage, and a
horse and cart forms the time hon.
o1ed combination in this service.
Many foreign governments have long
ago installed autocars in this service,
but your Uncle Samuel is conserva-
tive, not to say downright backward
in a good many things, and the auto
has not yet appealed strongly to
him, and Mr.. Silvas enterprise is en-.
tirely of his own volition. He fig
ures it that the little Brush will not
cost him as much to keep as horse;

that the annual wage of the chauf-
feurs who drive these trucks will
amount to $2S,9OO,OOO; that 5000 men
are employed in truck garages; that
the annual insurance is $5,900,000;
that the operating expenses will
amount to $113, 100000 and the annual
tire bill to $12,335,0O0.
Making comparisons of the cost of
operating the trucks and two-horse
vehicles, it is stated that the latter,
figuring on 10000 of them, will cost
$135,OOO,OO0, which means a saving of
$21, 100000 in favor of the motor
truck.

BUTTE ZINC MINES

The Butte correspondent OF the Boston

with the Butte & Superior company, as
well as with other large eastern inter-
eStS, nave acquired control OF all OF the
most promising ground in that section.
The Butte-D Duluth company was organic ed
and incorporated about ten days ago. with
capital of $3.50. 600 FOR preliminary work,
and IL is understood that at least two
other companies are IN process Of organ

has acquired n large number Of claims I'm
mediately north OF the Butte Milwaukee
ground. and control In the latter Is owned
by the Butte e Superior company. 1t is
expected that operations will start with
in the next few weeks.
Interest in these claims has been caused
by the splondid development In the cross
cut which has been run from the Black

pany into the Colonel Sellers claim OF the
ground. and within $50 feet OF the Colonel
Sellers shaft, the crosscut lntersected one
Of the richest veins ever heard OF In that
section OF the camp II shows from seven
