Eureka Republican. Mr.. Jacob Yates
presented US with a very large cotton
plant. 1t is over four feet high and has
fOrty-three Well-hlled bOlls on 1t, several

curiosity. The size and thrifiness of
the plant indicate that cotton can be
successfully grown here. There is little
doubt Of it. for neighbOring counties east
and south of Us have demonstrated that
fact to a certainty. This only goes to
show the great variety Of products Kan

Caldwell Journal: It is reported that
the Indians still persist in killing cattle
for the ranchmen on the North Fork of
the Canadian. 1t is not from any innate
deviltry that they do this, but simply as
a matter of necessity. Their ratiOns,
one beef week to forty persons and
seven pounds of -four to the heads of
families per week, is wholly inadequate
to their needs, and hence they 90 on
hunting expeditions. They are too lazy

little of it to hunt, and the cattle are
easier found, and more Of them when
