The dams built for the development
of power will then likewise be useful
for navigation and will save some $l4,-
600, 600 which would otherwise have to
be spent for construction costs for that
purpose.
THE District engineer reports that
conferences with the chief examiner Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
indicate q prospective annual saving OF
So, 100000 on a completed 12-foot pro-
ject between Washington and Cumber-
land. This is based on present trafhc
and without allowance for the normal
great future increase or that which
can logically be expected to follow the
construction of the connection with
the Mississippi River system. The

ings. Better navigation and cheaoer
water rates would result with series
of high dams and deep pools than with
low dams and narrow channels. There

crue from the placing Of dams across
the river. The reservoirs which afford the
power development would reduce the
cost Of operating the publication Sys-
tenn Of the Washington water supply.
The item for chemicals in the budget
for 1890 is $4,000, and this will in
crease yearly. The District engineer
estimates that due to the aid Of the
reservoirs created by the river dams,
the bill for chemicals would be reduced
three-ouarterS. This average annual
amount represents a capital value Of
about 100000.

40. To summarize, comprehensive
planning for the National Capital de-
mands that all major elements of the
situation be considered. The decision
lies between a park prodigal Of the
latent resources Of the Potomac and an
equally good park conserving these re-
sources. Combined park and power de-
Velopment is feasible, and the waste

the area should such development be-
come Of greater Importance and be JUS
tified in the public interest
The main considerations moving the
commission to the above action were as
follows:
81. The valley of the Potomac River
from Chain Bridge, to and including
Great Falls, has, in its natural condi-
ton, unique and distinctive scenic and
recreational values accompanied by GER
tain historic and scientific points Of in
tereSt which, rs a whole, make 1t
extraordinarily important to the Capital
of the United States. These values are
unique and distinctive in the sense that
this Is probably the best example in
the Atlantic Seaboard States Of the
particular type Of natural scenery here
presented, and that these natural scenic
values are believed to be unexcelled by
those in the vicinity of any national
capital of the world. These values have
not been fully appreciated and enjoyed
by the public, mainly because the land
is largely In private ownership and but
little of the area is readily accessible.
20. Notwithstanding the ingenuity
feSourcefulnesS and painStaking care
applied to the search for q method of
conserving as much as possible Of these
values while developing an economically
sound power project, all such methods
which have yet been devised, and al
methods which seem likely to be pos
Sible, involve the sacrifices of the major
part Of these great though intangible
scenic, recreational and inspirational
values, although they do so in consider
ably varying degrees.
IS. In other words, the two detectives
of economically developing power on a
large scale from the Potomac River, and
Of conserving the peculiar and charac-
teristic scenic, recreational and inspira-
tional values of this part Of the Potomac
River Valley are so essentially In con-
fiict that they cannot both be attained

and Illogical compromise IL to deter

 It has been discovered that, owing to the rapld1ty of orowh n is necessary immediately after the seeds sprout and the plant appears above the ground, to place dirt about the tender shoots, especially the radshes to protect the roots and prevent sum- burn.
 Some gardners have absorbed the erroneous idea that the paper does not allow the air to reach the roots plant does not absorb the oxygen nitrogen from the root but through the plant leaves above the ground. The paper keeps weeds and grass from ab- sorbing the nutriment that should go to the plant, and the necessity for continued hoeing and cultivation; it also retains the moisture and hosng with cold water is unnecessary.
 It is necessary to have we'll puverized seed bed at the start and allow for the to warm up the earth After the seeds planted and the paper plac ed as close possible to allow the plants to emerge It IS only necessary to the narrow strip of chick weed and grass between each plant The paper should be allowed to remain until the crop is har- vested.
 Ordinary asphalt roofing paper, especially scrap, may be employed many years before becoming un- serviceable.

 VISITOR IN SEWARD

Among the prominent customers in the city today is John Jonas, of the internationally known taxider- mist firm of Jonas Bros, Yonkers, IN. Y. The geological art studies of the Jonas Bros, have won world re- nown, the firm being recognized by authorities as being leaders in their field.
 Ponas Bros, is an institution spe- cializing in the allied arts oi anil. nal sculpture and tayidermy: the mounting of hunting trophies, museum specimens, habitat groups of animals and birds, and the de- signing of educational miniature groups. The technique used calls for a process embracing the fine arts of the sculpture and painter combined with the extra knowledge of the scientist.
 Mr. Jonas, a member of the Field Museum Arctic-S Siberia expedition, which returned to Seward last week, is enroute to the states and leaves on the s. g. Admiral Watson. While in Seward, Mir. Jonas is a guest at the Overland hotel.

because of the steep grades and be.
cause the route does not touch many
of the larger industrial cities, 1t has

creased traction power afforded by
modern locomotives, has turned the
line into q carrier for fast freight.
Only II per cent of its revenue Is de-
rived from passenger traffic as COM
pared with the 20 per cent OF the
other two trunk lines,
Since Erie has never paid DIVIDEND
on common and none on preferred since
1907, all earnings have been plowed
back into the company. Earnings are
still erratic, averaging $4.58 for the
past six years. With the stock now
selling around 70. Or 16 times these
earnings, it is obvious that still further
improvements are expected.
Erie's attractiveness as a speculation
Is undoubtedly enhanced by the fact
that many roads would like to include
It in consolidation. plans. But since no
sanction has been forthcoming from
the Interstate Commerce Commission
nothing definite can be predicted.
The chart shows plainly that the
stock is more speculative than those OF
the other two lines, due largely 70 the
fact that it pays no dividend.

UPHOLDS
CEDAR LAW

MARTINSBURG. w. Va, Nov.
29.-Hope has been expressed
among orchard men here that the
recent decision of the State SUI
preme court in upholding the
cedar-eradication law and denying
the appeal of Miss Sue Lemen, Of
Shepherdstown, jefferson county,
marks the close of the long dis
pute that has dragged its way
through the courts for the past
several years.
Miss Lemen's appeal reached
the supreme court on an appeal
from a decision Of the Jefferson
county circuit court, which up
held the rights of w. e. Rumsey,
State entomologist, in directing
the removal of cedar trees upon
the Lemen property. The law
providing for the control snd
eradication Of apple rust was
passed in 1925.
The long. bitter dispute that
was closed by the State supreme
court was first taken into the
courts several years ago when
John Long, Of Berkeley county,
took it to circuit court here. His
case was decided against him and
the constitutionality of the cedar
cutting law upheld by Judge D. A.
Rogers after a long trial. and
Long did not carry his case
higher.
