The original request made ~ The

$4,000. II apparently became evident
that that deal could not be put through,
and the amount petitiOned for was re

What was ordered submitted to the
VOTERS was an authorization to appro-

on account Of its elevation Of 1000
feet, Owens Valley is protected from

make Owens Valley the ideal apple

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing a large quantity Of electrical ma
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion. with the result that when he
landed he received a sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer. If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig IT out
for himself, for nobody seems to care
for the business and nobody knows Of
it-London World.

TOWER OF LONDON
British Restoring Walls to Their
Original Shape.
Government Making Effort to Undo
Mischief Wrought by Ignorant
"Restorers' of Past to Put
Structure in Condition.

London.-In his collection OF essays
entitled "A Tragedy in Stone LORD
Rosedale gives an account OF the work
that was done in the late IN
connection with the preservation and
restoration of part of the Tower or
London, in the course OF which work
the bones of Queen Anne Boleyn were
laid bare.
The work, then begun under the SUI
pervision of Sir John Taylor, has been
continued with more or less energy
since, but nov the office of works,
which is responsible for the fabric of
the tower, is making a great enor 10
undo the mischief wrought by igno-
rant "~restorers" of the past and to put
what is left of the great structural
historic relic almost unrivaled in the
world-into something like the condi-
ton in which it was in the days OF the
glory-and it's shame.
A writer in the Times describes In
some detail the work that is being
done. Partly, perhaps, owing to the
dredging of the channel in the river,
to a depth which is greater than IN
previous records show, settlements
have taken place in various parts OF
the tower, and cracks which may
cause serious future trouble have de-
veloped in the Beauchamp tower, in
st. Johns chapel Con the White tow
err, and elsewhere. These are kept
under careful observation. But the
decayed face of various parts of the
walls and towers has necessitated I'M
mediate attention, and repairs to the
most seriously dilapidated sections
have been carried on for some time.
Here, as elsewhere, it is the con-
slant aim of the staff of the office Of
works not merely to safeguard the
ancient buildings from further decay,
but to use every care to preserve their
character and to harmonic necessary
modern constructions with the orig
inal work.
In the last century many Of the
finest parts OF the tower were defaced
with a coating of cement interpreted
with fiints. This was presumably
done in order to keep out wind and
weather from the decayed walls at
little expense, but the eventual result
has been to increase the insecurity OF
the buildings, while giving them a sin
gularly shabby appearance. The work
of removing this flint plaster and re-
facing the walls with secure and suit
able masonry has 81 far chiefly been
carried out on the Byward tower
on the Postern Gate tower which
forms part of it, and guards the mar

expected that when the money bags
were frightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie a year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care Of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1913 will restore
conditions to a normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was a large area which 1t was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as a general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ~ripening,
and had a stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads
were large and the prospects were OF

wheat is recognized everywhere.
The latest census returns show that
in the Province Of Manitoba, which
stands out as one of great wealth and
wonderful opportunity, the land area
under wheat increased from 1,965,200
acres in 1900 to 2,760.471 acres in 1910,
being an increase of 40.46 per cent. In
the decade. The wheat area of 1911
is greater than that Of 1910 by S34,46I
acres. There are increases in the area
of production of all cereals for 1910
over 1900, excepting peas and mixed
grains.
OF cereals grown in 1910 the largest
gross monetary return per acre was
given by peas with $20.51. followed by
beans with 1857, fall wheat with
$15.67, corn for husking with $l2.oS'
