VERY TAME ELECTION
No Contest on City Dads-Other VAL
ley Towns Have Hot Scraps.

For the first time in the history Of this
city the election of Tuesday was pulled
off without the development Of any kline
Of a scrap. and consequently was the
tamest affair of the kind that could wei
be imagined. The only excitement Of the
day was caused by an April fool joker
who spread the report that the "wets'
were going to put one over in the seeone
ward" which caused the mayor and hi.
friends to get busy. and as a result the
vote in this ward was larger than the
combined vote Of the other wards. Bar
ring few complimentary votes to favor

ton received the entire vote cast and will
be our officials for the next two years.

some lively contests we're developed:

mated ticket and as result Mayor Tiede-

PLANTING TREES ON WESTERN FARMS
%. A. Whipples Advice to Dry Farmers, but
Applicable to Those Under Irrigation Also

The people who have but recently
made their homes on the dry farms
will hardly fail to appreciate the
value of trees when looked at purely
from the standpoint OF pleasure.
Some who have lived on these dry
farms longer may have, in a way, be-
come accustomed to their surround
ings and the absence of trees no long
er causes discomfort. They have
gradually come to believe that trees
and shrubs can not be grown under
existing conditions, and possibly there
are few who do not appreciate trees
and shrubs. However, as protection
from glaring sun and drying winds in
summer, trees can not but add to the
comfort of the home. and, to most OF
us. contribute no little amount OF
pleasure.
But comfort and pleasure are not
the only returns the planting OF trees
and shrubs may bring to those upon
the farm. There are those who claim
that the planting of trees in large
numbers upon the plains would great
ly modify the climate of these re-
gions, that the rainfall would be in
creased, and that drying winds would
be less frequent. And trees are
sometimes planted, even on the dry
farm, with view to financial returns.
The wood lot or shelter belt does. in
some cases, furnish fuel for the home
and posts for the fences. Surely the
| fruit garden is both a source OF pleas
ure and an income that may be fig
ured in dollars and cents.
Many farm homes have been ini-
proved by growing trees under condi-
/ B Nt
dry farms in Colorado. 1t is surely
worth trial. When the mater is
all summed up we find that the de-
gree of success is measured largely
by the proper selection and prepara..
ton of soil, and proper planting and
| proper care of the trees and shrubs
The land to be planted to the home
grounds should be well prepared and
fallowed at least one year before any
| attempt is made to start trees and
shrubs. The land should be deeply
| plowed and under most conditions
fall plowing would be preferable.
During the following summer it
should be well cultivated to keep
down the weeds and conserve the
moisture. If it is not practicable to
keep the whole yard area cultivated,
particular spots chosen for the loca-
ton OF clumps of trees or shrubs
may be given a good mulch of straw
or coarse stable manure. This will
keep down the weed growth and con-
serve the moisture.
Many are undecided as to where
they should purchase stock. In the
first place it should be bought OF a
well established nursery that has de-
veloped some respect for its reputa-
ton. 1t is also safe to say that the
trees should be bought as near home
as possible. The local nursery is
generally able to furnish kinds adapt
ed to your condition than that from
distance. II you can not buy stock
near home, it is probably best to try
some northern nursery, where varle-

ties adapted to Our conditions are
more likely to be carried in stock.
One should buy a good quality oil
plants. and under our conditions it Is
best to buy Young plants. They are
cheaper and more likely to grow,
Forest tree seedlings one or two years
old may be started more readily than
older trees. Apple gratis one or two
years old are safer to plant than older
ones-and they will bear fruit just as
soon as the older trees. At least. in
sist on frst-class fruit trees. One
year-old apple trees should be straight
whips from three to four feet high
Two-year-old apple trees are gener-
ally branched and should have the
lowest branch not over two feet from
the ground, and should have four or
more branches.
As soon as the trees arrive they
should be unpacked and heeled-in in
some shady place, as on the north
side of building. or stored in cool
cellar. They should be kept cool to
retard the growth of the buds, and
moist to prevent them from drying
out. In heeling-in the trees dig a
trench and set the roots well down
in the moist soil and tramp the earth
well about them. II the soil iS not
quite damp it is best to settle it about
the roots with water. II the wealth
er is drying, and especially If the tree
looks rather dry on unpacking, 1t Is
best to bury them root and top n
moist soil. If everything is in readi'
ness to plant the trees when they ar
rive, they may be planted at once
Should they appear dry, ii. is best to
soak them in fresh water IRON IL to
"a hours before planting. Trees
planted in a shriveled condition are
seldom able to revive. while the same
trees freshened in soil or in water
may make successful growth.

NO SCHOOL BONDS
Proposition of Raising Funds for
Additional High School Building
Badly Defeated

As was expected by all but the most
optimistic the special school election held
on Tuesday resulted in the defeat of the
proposed bond issue of $4,000 to build
and equip an addition to our present high
school, but a surprise was sprung when
the votes were counted and it was found
that the bond issue had been defeated by
vote of 500 to 2z.
Various reasons have been advanced
for this decisive vote against the PROPOSE
ton advanced by the school board.
amongst them being the assertion that
had the board asked for grade building
to be placed on the Cressy lot action
would have been different; but no matter
what the reason the result of the special
election may be taken as direct repudi-
alton Of the present policy and business
management of the board.
Now that interest in school matters
has been aroused it should not be allow
ed to wane until further decisive action
has been taken and The Enterprise has
been asked to urge the necessity for a
meeting of school patrons in the very
near future, to decide upon candidates for
the two positions on the board to be filled
at the regular school election next month.
For these positions ehave heard num-
ber of names mentioned. amongst them
being Mr. and Mrs. C. j. Cover. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. E. Lawson, DR.. Biotz. D. D.
Wiley. G. A. Jones. A. p. Kouns. G. M.
Weybright. Mrs. Emily N. Randall and
Mrs. W. D. Lewis. and surely from this
number two candidates may be chosen
who will prove acceptable to the majority
OF the taxpayers of the district.

In the Arkansas Valley.
On Monday there dropped into
this city-by way of private car
on the Santa Fe-the following
party of officials of the American
Beet Sugar Company: President
Fl. r. Duval, General Manager E.
G. Howe, General Engineer, E. j.
Bayle, Auditor Elisha Gee and
Superintendent Dupern of the
Oxnard factory.
The distinguished visitors were
returning from visit of inspec-
tion to the company's holdings in
California, and for two days they
were busted upon a similar mis-
sion to this section of the Arkah-
sas Valley, under the guidance of
Fred Noble and E. FL. Gerecke,
local manager aud assistant.
The officials viewed the exten-
sive alterations and improvements
now under way at the local plant,
which are destined to make the
Rocky Ford factory one of the
largest, most complete and mod
ern beet sugar making manufac-
tories in the world. They found
the local factory working almost
as big force and almost as busy
a place as durlng the sugar cam
paign; they saw the old machinery
being torn out to make room for
the massive new and up to-date
machines; they saw the old retain
ing walls being torn out and no.

able of the new walls were already
in place which gave assurance that
the new buildings would 60 up

being made along the lines laid
down for this-their model plant
to be.
Not only were the officials well
pleased with the progress at the
local factory but they expressed
their qualification with the out
look this season in the way of in
creased acreage for all their Ar
kansas Valley plants. Reports
were furnished them showing that
almost 1900 acres had already
been contracted for the Rocky
Ford factory, and the factories at
Lamar and Las Animas had about
5000 each, so that safe estimate
for their company in the Arkan-
sas Valley during the crop season
of 1913 is twenty-five thousand
acres.

Chicago, Dec 26.-Joe Tinker, former manager of the Cincinnati team, and President Gilmore of the Federal league, held a conference this after into the new league. According to Tinker, the conference was without re- suit, except that they agreed to con- tinue negotiations tomorrow or Mon- day.
 Neither party to the meeting would divulge the terms considered. Follow CTS of the game asserted that Gilmore club, despite Tinkers preference to re- main in Chicago.
 Tinker refused to confirm or deny the report that he had been offered $36,000 for three years in the Federal league. In discussing the affair he remarked that he could not make that much mon ey in three years in the National league.
 There is money behind this Federal league Tinker said, "and the proposi- tion they made me is 8 good one l know l can make more money than if I stayed in organized ball. They have offered me some stock on which l now have an option, and if arrang ements can me made I will take it the same as Chance did his. He was given ten shares and paid for lt out of his diyi- dends."
 If Tinker signs with the F'ederals he may be enjoined by Charles Ebbets of Brooklyn, according to Charles w. Murphy, president of the Chicago club Murphy said today that the reserve clause in a players contract will be the basis of an injunction suit that will prohibit the players being used by the Federal league.

confidence in his knowledge of the
 game as we'll as his strong person ] ality as a leader.
 Hinkey has coached almost every
 year since his graduation He belongs 1 to the old school, but has studied all l phases of the game. A year ago the older men wanted Ketcham to make 1 him head coach. but Ketcham pre- ] ferred a younger man.
 This fall when the older men re- turned they talked Hinlxey all the time as the one man to take charge of Yale's football troubles. Hinkey's s task will not be an easy one. Yale has two years of defeats behind her and a weak squad for next season. Hinkey is Yale's greatest end. He was known as the silent captain when he was at the head of the team In 1898 and 1894
 Although small, almost frail, weigh ing only 137 pounds when he went to Yale from Andover and never more than 156 while playing football for the Blue, Hinkey was as wicked g. tackler and as hard a player as ever put on togs. He enjoys the unique distinction of having his name en- rolled on four all-American teams as he was picked as one of the two best ends of 1891 in his freshman year.
 He led the Yale team in 1894 when the game was played that broke off relations between the New Haven uni VeTS1Cy and Harvard. Throughout h1S college career it is said that there was never a yard made around his end.
 Corbett, Harvard's speediest runner, was sent at him with & touchdown in view. When the play was disinte- grated 1t was found that Laurie Bliss was on his way down the field with the ball, about to score a Yale touch down, and Corbett was in such 8 con dition that he couldn't recall what happened. This was only the begin ming. Hinkey was unprotected aIl- American end for four years and shared with Tom Shevlin the end po- sition on Walter Camps football team for all time
 Hinkey had method of his own of putting ginger into his players that would not be favorably received by modern pigskin chasers. His well ad- miniStered kick to Anse Beard, a man on his own team, during Brown game, is one of the things that old timers recall.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NEW HAVEN STRONG.
Has Made Gain of 10 Points Since
 Passing of Dividend

New York, Dec. 26.-The rise in stocks which began a week ago was carried further today, with Reading again the central figure in the move ment, The market failed, however, to show the sustained strength of re- cent days. Offerings were heavier. and although the market still possess ed large absorptive capacity prices gradually fell back. Individual stocks moved widely. but the general run of quotations revealed few important al terations at the close of the day.
 On the early advance there was keen bidding for the popular stocks, with increased outside buying. The rise was utilized for realizing sales and while there was no departure from the more chereful point of view recently adopted professional traders were less inclined to undertake aggressive oper- ations on the long side. The extent of the rise and the probability that the markets technical position had been weakened by the driving in of the shorts induced holders of long stocks to take profits rather than increase their commitments at this time.
 In connection with the rise in Read ing there were further reports that a segregation plan was under consider ation, with the supposed object of bringing the company into line with the governments requirements. Denial of thIS rufnOr put damper on DullSh speculation in Reading and the re- cession in this stock was influential in bearing down the whole list. The cop pers were helped by reports of bet ter prices at home and abroad for the metal. New Haven was consistently strong and crossed 75. marking the recovery of nearly ten points from the low mark reached after announcement that the dividend had been passed
 With the approach of the year end there was a stiffening of call money, but the rate did not rise above per cent and it was thought that the re- quirements for financing with the turn of the year would be met with greater ease than was expected some time ago.
