atructdre at the corner of Wall Street
and froosy haa already been chris
tened the "chimney." A In the cane
of the "Fimiron," the owner selected
a conventional name but the new one
hn already superseded ! The "chlm

For It heliiht It I the slenderest

street of little old New York, when
the City wa little but not old, It

escaped. In addition to the chimney
only a block or two away, the new
twonty-flve atory building of the
Trust Company of America la Hear
ing completion. Besides being the
tallest building In the district It will
contain the handsomest and most up-to-date
banking room In Now. York-
which of course menu In the whole
United 8tutes. Curiously enotirhthe
Trust Company' new home etumls on

Building hikes seems to be tho la
test diversion of our multl-mllllon-aire,
and In some respect no doubt
It Is a vary satisfactory avocation for
a man of plethoric bank account poss
essing as It doc limitless possibilities
In tho way of expenditure. Following
upon the heel of Andrew Carnegie's
gift of a lake to Princeton, comes the
announcement that John D. Rockefel
ler has constructed a private sheet
of water at Lakewood whereupon ho
will disport himself during the winter
at hla favorite outdoor pastime, 1 of
skating. Cynical persons along Broad
way ' have auggsted that the great
architect of Btandnrd Oil Is planning
to got In training to outsprlnt the nu
meroug prbcos-servers who are con
tinually being set upon hi trail by
unkind ' public " prosecutor,' but this
seem to be belled by the fact that
Marshal TIenkle was welcomed by Mr.
Rockefeller almost with enthusiasm
when he visited the' latter bearing an
official paper during tho ' paat week.
In fact so captivated wns Marshal
"Illll" by hi kindly recaption that he
ha been singing the praise of John
D, ever since, declaring that he I a
"perfect gent" In every tenia of the
word, ' .
The Tenderloin I awaiting with
fynstderable Interest tne attempt of a
iCrmer barkeeper named Ited to corn-
sumo l,m,Mt drink Or 1200,000 worth.
Of course he Isn't going to do It all
at one alttltig, but he haa promised to
attempt the task, even though It doe
appear to be something of an under
taking. A . anon aa ha has finished
It ha will go back to his trade of mix
ing drink he ought to hav ochanca
to consume soma himself, about a
many as he had ndly wath4 df-
appearing down th throat of other
on the opposite side of The bar. Long
and careful calrulntlim revealed the
fart ttfnt the legacy would purchase
a million and a third of drink, which
Reed think about the right number.
Accordingly he haa lald'aalde hip white
apron and hta shaker to ne th drink
problem from the other side, announc
ing, however, that when hi money I
gone he will return to hi old trade
with a chastened thirst. Naturally
the Tenderloin la wondering where he
will spend hla money, Tom Sharkey,
It I rumored, with an eye for the main
chance, ha offered Reed In return
for hi 1200.000 all the drink which he
can consume during hi lifetime, but
none at all for hla friend. The same
rumor ha It however, that the sailor
pugilist' offer wa turned down as
too generous.' Besides that Reed does
not want to spend all hla money In the
same place,
A movement which will embrace th
who tat I now forming .among
a number of historic and patriotic
toctetlo with th support of tho
person who hav already contributed
to the building of th Palisade Park
to create a reservation embracing all
of tha point of scente beauty and hla-
lorlo Internal along tha shore of the
lower Jtudon. So much public Inter
est ha been elicited by the endeavor
of the Palisade Park Commission and
Ita friend to oust th quarrymen from
Hook Mountain and to hasten the com
pletion of the plan for tha greater In
terstate; d'allsde Park, that other
person having Interest - tn historic
Ilea and scenic point not embraced
In the Patland Park territory have
been encouraged to present their In
terests to tha public with th result
that a very considerable support Is
growing. There ha been on talk
of appealing to th Federal govern
ment, but thla plan I not generally ac
cepted, th feeling being that New
Yorker should do for themselvea
what need doing.
The public Is beginning to realise now
thnt while much haa been done In the
way of preserving site of Civil War
battle, almost nothing haa been done
exoepty by a few putrlotlo oclotlc
toward Revolutionary landmarks and
battlenYlda, which are o numerous
both In New York State and New Jer
sey adjacent to tho valley of tha Hud-
aon.
The cosmopolitan character of New
York' population may be gathered
from the headline In any lasue of the
dally pnpera. Just at preaent readera
ara regnled with the war of the East
elde housewives on the ''Kohefvmeat
trust," religious strife among the Bo-
mlnn contingent, a drnpmtlc contro
versy In tho French colony, a suit
brought against a wealthy Irish fami
ly for the expense of a wake, a sen
sational Jtaltdn murder and charge
of police prosecution brought by a
Greek pushcart peddler. Tomorrow
the Chinese, the Syrians, the Germans,
and the Turks may be to the fore.
New York may easily dispute with
Cairo the right to be known aa the
modern Rnbel. ,

? Writ of Injunction. I
PORTLAND, De,; i7.War has
broken out In earnest on the coast
between the Astoria A Columbia Rlv
er Railroad and the Pacific Railway k
Navigation Company, and the flrit
move on, the part of th former cor
poration to occupy th right of way,
claimed by virtue of prior poelon
by the later, has been met with an
Injunction suit, h ,
Paper In the case were filed by at
torney of the P. R. A N. at Tilla
mook yesterday, and It la expected
that a restraining order will be Issued
against the A. A C. tomorrow. In the
complaint it Is cited that the A. A C.
or Hammond Interests, ordrred It
field party to mnk a survey fur a dis
tance of 10 mile between Garabaldl
and Tillamook over a line already lo
cated and the map adopted by the
P. R. A N., while the latter also
caused the route' to be "brushed" o
grade stake could bo set and the land
cleared In advance of the grading par
tie. Th P. R. A N. ha Its men em
ployed In driving a tunnel at Hobson
vlll. while it Is contended the Ham
mond forces have done nothing but
run line.
It I alleged by the P. R. A N. of
ficials that the A. A C. crew not only
occupied the right of way, but used
the same grade stakes, and It was
necessary for them to send a man to
accompany the surveyors to make
certain none of the stakes were die
turbed. The P. R. A N. own most of
the right of way between Tillamook
and Garabaldl and but four or five par
cel of land remain to be secured. Be-
cause the latter company wa first on
the ground, It ha acquired consider
able property at Tillamook and Bay
City In addition to rfght of way and
the cltlxona of Tillamook County have
provided more land for the road gra
tin. ; v' ""
An effort will be made to oust the
A. A C. on the rulings of the United
State 8upreme Court In a Denver A
Rio Grande case, one In which the
Pennsylvania road figured, and oth
er, whereby It was held that a rail,
road making a location for a line and
having Its mops adopted by the board
of directors, Is entitled to a reason
able time tn which to complete oper
ations, and It haa been held that five
years la not np unreasonable period,
Through the activity of the P. R.
A N., the A. A C. has been blocked to
a certain extent on the coast line, so
tt will have difficulty entering Tllla
mook, unlosa an arrangement Is made
through which It can cross the right
of way of the former, and it la un
derstood a partial agreement to that
effect was entered into. The P. R. A
N. has a large fordo of graders also
employed on Its line and when weath
er permits work la being hurried.
CALIFORNIA CASE DISMISSED.

Southern Paclflo Company and against
Mark W. Quirk for Illegal possession
of government lands In Mariposa and
Placer Counties were dismissed yes
terday In the United States Circuit
Court on motion of Assistant United

To the gverage visitor at the well
known stockyards In Brighton, Mas.
the chief object of Interest Is the largr
stock barn. The large rows of stalls
provide accommodation for hundreds
of cattle, and the room la about all
needed during the busy seasons of the
year. On Tuesday and Wednesday of
each week tills barn Is the scene of
crest activity, says American CultiTS'
tor. The cattle arrive by train from all
parte of New England and New York
state. Tbcr are brought In mostly by
traders who make a business of buying
from farmers or at auctions and sell
tn Brighton. Any one, however, Is si
lowed to use the barn and sell his own
cattle If be wishes to do so. Some who
live near by drive In their own cows
and sell thwn direct, thus saving the
middleman's profit, although tbelrown
lack of trading experience may often
offset the apparent gain. ,
Mo dealer Ukt to carry over cows
from week tor week.' The rent of the
stalls Is for the market days only and
Includes feed for that period, and also
the cow, If kept over, Is a week further
long In nillkluA 1 '
This considers (lot, 1s the cause and
ncouraginm'Ut of (b "sundowner."
The term Is applied to tlierewd trad
ers' who stay away while btylug Is ac
tive and appear at the last moment and
pick up bargains Just as dealers are be
ginning to tear they must keep over
some of. their cows. The "sundowner
drops In late Wednesday afternoon and
often buy cows at low prices. He If
usually a country resident and tradet
and takes his purchases out home to
ell them at a proQt. The cows left
over to the last are not the most de
lrable ss a rule One In awhile at a
dull market a few good cows will be
left over to the last, and then real bar
gains are to be found.
For Quirk Failure.
To an Inquirer who asks concerning
owing rye aud oat grasses for quickly
making pasture Professor Ten Eyck
ays In Kansas Farmer: I believe yon
would do better to sow some annual
grass or grain. A combination of bar
ley and oats will make spring and sum
mer pasture and produce much mors
grazing than you will be able' to se
cure from rye grass or tall oat grass.
Both of the last named grasses are per
ennials, and, although they start man
rapidly tlutn Bromuar biennis and Eng
lish blue grass, yet we cannot consider
these grasses equal to the last named
grasses, either for pasture or meadow.
Daly Special.
"Dairy specials" are but the natural
sequel to "com specials." The Mary
land experiment station is starting a
series of dairy trains which will cover
most of the railroad systems of the
state, rtoese trains will be In charge
Of Director Patterson of the expert
ment station at College Park. It Is
boped that people will take as deep an
Interest In them as they did in the suc
cessful "corn specials" of the state last
year.
Live Dairy Practice
"Records of Dairy Cows In the Unit
ed States" Is a recent publication of
the bureau of animal Industry, claimed
to be unique in that no complete com
pilation of this nature ts at present ex
tant In the United States. Its object Is
to act as an Incentive to progressive ef
fort among our dairymen and to the
raising of the standard of herds. Part
1 deals with grade and native cows and
part 2 with pure bred cows.
Bp to Dalryaua u Coaiamer,
Growing interest in the production
and sale of clean, wholesome milk In
dicates that it behooves the dairyman
to comply with the requirements of
sanitary milk production and the con
sumer to Insist upon the observance of
these requirements.
The Hosr a Datrr Adjoaet.
In European countries where dairy
farming is followed a the chief oc
cupation pigs are reared and fed la
considerable numbers as an auxiliary
Industry, and to all appearances nei
ther luduBtry Van be so successfully
conducted alone as the two combined,
especially in those countries which rank
high in the production of high class
bacon. - The real secret of success In
European feeding for prime bacon is
due to the large amounts of skim milk
and buttermilk fed with grain and
meal. :. ,-,.. ; j
Remarkable Development.
i Alfalfa growers generally will be In
terested la the remarkable development
of the alfalfa meal Industry, New
plants are being erected at many places
throughout the west and others already
established are crowded with orders, re
marks Denver Field and Farm. East
ern dairymen are becoming Interested,
and the product is in active demand.
First Cow Testing Association, ,
Michigan has the unique distinction
of sustaining the first and. only cow
testing association of this country, or
ganised last full. It Is claimed that
the idea originated with ex-Governor
Hoard of Wisconsin some ten or twelve
years agu. "The American dairyman
seems to have overlooked the great
value of this suggestion. At any rate
It was the dairymen of Denmark who
first put the work Into practice," says
Helmer Rablld In an exchange.
