New Salt Water System Inspected by Members of Council and Is
 Satisfactory.

The operation of the car was conducted under the direction of A. c. Long, IT,, who accompanied the car north IS demonstrator, and the test proved most successful.
 While pumping water from the pay on the George E. James float ,or a pressure test, the car developed l pressure of 220 pounds of water, delivering better than 400 gallons per minute The guarantee is 300 gallons at 120 pounds. The car pumped water with a 1S0 pound pres sure for ten minutes straight and demonstrated it's ability to keep it ID for an indefinite period. The pressure was then reduced to 120 hour.
 Some Hill Climber
 On hill climbing the car showed ID well. The car turned the corner 1t Cases store and tore up Main street as if pursued by demons. Fourth Street was made on high gear, sixth on intermediate, and the balance of the hill on low. At the ime the car was loaded with 1000 feet of hose, weighing HOO pounds and with ten men whose aggregate weight was about 1000 pounds. The car also climbed the worst hill in Juneau, from East Street to Park Avenue with the same amount of 1ose and with twelve men and dem )nstrated it's ability to travel on pad roads and steep grades.

The car made better than Councilman Raymond, who was put on the front seat with the driver to blow the horn was too busy hanging on to remember his duties and the horn remained silent during the run.
 The car was connected with one )f the hydrants of the Lewis system with 300 feet of ordinary fire hose and raised the pressure from S7 pounds to 120 pounds without trouble. Later the car was connected with the hydrant with regular suction hose and raised the pressure from almost nothing to 120 pounds.
 System Inspected
 At the same time that the fire en- zine was being tested, the pressure )n the water in the new high pre- sure system were taken and the sys- tenn inspected by the City Council.
 At Front and Ewing Streets the system showed 115 pounds pressure. The balance of the Front Street sys- .em developed a pressure of 160 pounds, with S7 pounds at Sixth and Kennedy Street and S3 pounds at seventh and Seward.

City Team IA, High School 6

The annual game between the city
and high school basket ball teams play
ed at Neider's hall Friday night result
ed in victory for the lumber jack"
organization.
The large crowd that attended wit
messed hard fought game for the en-
lire 40 minutes of play. The score at
the end of the first half was and 2,
but in the second half the high school
fell down before their more experienced
opponents, the game ending IA to 6.
Coach Weingartner's boys were sue
cessful in getting thru the citys strong
defense for only one field basket, the
remaining four points being scored on
free throws called for unnecessary
roughness on the part of the city team.
This was the first game played by
either team this season and several
weak points could be easily seen on
both sides, especially in the line of
basket shooting.
II the high school can continue to
show the fight they displayed in Fri
days game, they ought to have sue
cessful season in the high school league
which they have entered.
Tee city team leaves for Iron River
today for the first real test of the year.

BAD COUNTRY FOR KINGS
Many Rulers of Poland Compelled to
Leave, Murdered or lgnomini-
ousIy Deposed.

Poland has not been very kind to
it's kings in the past. Henry of ValolS,
a worthless man who was elected to
the throne by the diet, fed, after a
reign of five months, in q most ludl-
crous fashion; Michael Wieniowiecki,
son of a famous general, a weak and
insignificant man, who was elected
king against his will, died suddenly
one Augustus was deposed; his sue
cessor, Stanislaus Leszczynski, was
compelled to leave the country; Lads
laus had to resign and so had the last
king, Stanislaus.
When the time came for Sigismund
II to take the crown, trouble arose
from his marriage. He had secretly
espoused, as widower, a widow OF
the great house of Radziwill, and the
mobiles required the union to be an
nulled because they thought the coun-
try would gain more by foreign alli-
ance. Sigismund carried his point, and
his wife was crowned queen, but she
died soon afterward not without sus-
picions of having been poisoned by her
mOther-in-law.

How the Ancients Bathed.

Ancient Rome is said to have con-

of water day; and one of the most
noticeable features of the modern town
is the prodigal effervescence of its wa
ter, gushing from fountains OF every
conceivable size and design. The Trevi
is the most magnificent in the city. its
waters-called aqua vergine, virgin wa
ter, because of its purity-the finest.
The old Roman baths required lot OF
water. The splendid Thermae built
by the degenerate Emperor Caracalla
had accommodation for 1000 bathers.
Besides the baths proper, the establish
ment included within its area, OF about
a quarter of mile square, a gymna-

DISEASE OF CABBAGE.
Careful Seed Selection Has Produced =
Variety Resistant to Ysllows.

Successful cabbage growers near
Clyde, O.. after six years trials in CO.
operation with the Ohio experiment
station have obtained strains resistant
to yelows disease, or fusarium wilt.
The All Seasons variety has shown
the least tendency to this disease and
it also possesses qualities demanded
by the kraut industry. Plants have
been selected for seed which have
shown the strongest growth and the
greatest freedom from disease.
This procedure in combating cabbage
yellows has proved far more success
full than soil sterilization and other d.
rect control methods, growers say. I'm
der conditions Of continual attack by
disease certain plants develop charac-
teristics that ward Off ravages Of such
parasites. BY continual careful selec-
ton and propagation desired types are
produced that thrive even where dis
ease is abundant. while common va
rieties die or else yield poor returns.
The especially resistant strains OF the
All Seasons cabbage have been named
the Clyde Series Nos. to 7. Nos. l., 2
and have proved most resistant.
Within q year or two the experiment
station expects to distribute the seed of
these strains to growers. lie

One of the greatest of the money
making commodities is the tomato.
This product is important enough to be
considered by farmers generally.
While tomatoes are classed as garden
products, prefer to look on them as
a field crop worth the best efforts of

a yield as high as GOO bushels per acre.
AS tomatoes are worth $3.50 to So a
