NOT ALL FOR THURMAN.
The Ohio Delegation Not Solid for
the Old Roman.

the Old Roman.
Special to the Globe
ST. LOUIS, June 3.-The Ohio delega-
ton, with the state central and execu-
tive committees and invited guests to
total of about 800, arrived this morning.
They came from Columbus on a special
train as the guests of Calvin S. Brice,
the Lima millionaire and one of the del
egateS at large, and according to all ac-
counts had a decidedly hilarious time
of it Ell route. At Midland City, where
a short stop was made, they encOun-
tered Gov. Foraker, who was en- route in
the opposite direction and treated him
to an informal reception, giving him
rousing. cheers and falling in line to
shake him by the hand. The gov
ernor might have doubted the
sincerity of his political opponents
but he took the affair good naturally,
all the same, and waved his hat as the
special moved out of the depot. Those
who were expecting general advance
in Thurman stock with the arrival of
the delegation were doomed to diSap-
pOintment. In fact, it had hardly
reached the Lindell, when some of its
members began to talk up EX-COngress-
man Rice, the one-legged soldier, of OF
taWa, as an available candidate for the
vice-preSidency. Rice was a candidate
for lieutenant governor in 1879 on the
Ewing ticket, which was beaten by FoS-
ter, and has since been twice defeated
for congress. Gov. Foraker recently APP
pointed him member of the state board
of pardonS, but the honor was promptly
declined. One of the stories whispered
about to-day in support of his availa-
bility was to the effect that Tilden was
so anxious to have him on the
ticket in 1876, that he promised to
put $4,000 into the Ohio campaign
in the event of his nomination, and
Rice, who came in with the delegation,
was on deck all day in one of the par
lorS of the hotel, where he held a con-
tinuOus leyee; but his boom has not yet
succeeded in getting into the open air,
much less into the other obstetrics. One
of the Ohio delegates said tonight:

BADGER FEELING

Thurman

CHICAGO, June 3.-The temper of the
Wisconsin delegation to the st. Louis
convention appears to be mildly in
favor of Senator Thurman for the vice
presidency. The majority of the dele
CATION left for st. Louis tonight. Said
Col. Bird: II am for Thurman if he is
sOlidly supported by the Ohio delegation.
Thurman's great ability and honesty
make him good man. I do not speak
for the delegation, but [ think ali the
delegate have cool feeling for him and
that many of them will give him their
votes" Ellis B. Usher, chairman of the
state central committee, and Secretary
Wright are travelling with the delega-
ton. Mr.. Usher doubted the propriety
of nominating Mr.. Thurman on account
of his age. Mr.. Wright was enthusi-
aStically for him.

THE MINNEsOTIANs.
How They Will Parcel Out the
Offices

Offices.
The most interesting morsel comes
last. 1t is the organization of the
delegation from Minnesota. There
Will not be a meeting until
their arrival at st. Louis, but matters
are shaping themselves up 7apidly. and
the work will be merely formal. It
seemed certain from the first that a
disposition would spring up to avoid
any collision of the hostile wings and
smooth over rough places as rapidly as
they arise. To this end Ames and
Doran were both pulled off for any race
for chairman, and with this understands
ing the contest went on. Twelve of the
fourteen delegates are here, John I,ud-
wig and e. G. PAIL boarding the train
at Winona. G. d. O'Brien set the ball
rolling early in the day by launching a
Doom Tor Phll Winston for chairman of
the delegation. At first it was
supposed this meant antagonism to
Mayor Smith, but such was not the pro-
gramme: 1t meant combination to elect
Smith the committeeman. 1t was un-
derStood at once that such a move
would mean not only the support of the
AmeS wing, but would add the strength
OF Smiths popularity and eliminate
any contest between Doran and Ames.
On this basis it took hold rapidly and
gained friends. At the same time the
Smith boom for committeeman got a
good growth, and will be sprung on the
committee at its meeting in the MORN
ing at full maturity. 1t is very safe to
put the following down as approx
mately correct: National committee

Good Mining Property.

The group of mines owned by the Atlas Mining Company, which are situated in Pima county, some thirty five miles west of Tucson, are said to one of the wonderful copper mines of Arizona. The company, which is com posed mostly of Michigan capitalists. have erected a fine large shelter near the mines and will begin active oper- ations by October lst.
 They have expended nearly $300,- 900 in developing their properties in that district, having bored nearly 1000 feet for water, which they now have in abundance. The company proposes to put force of men at work both in mines and smelter and push operations as extensive as possible. They have been quietly working their properties in that district for the past three years, and now they have come to the conclusion that they have the largest and most promising mines in Arizona. The Gazette wishes the gentlemen success in their under taking.
 These mines are situated about 16 miles from Red Rock station and the road is level and hard, which affords splendid facilities for the transfer of the large shipments of copper bull ion.-Phenix Gazette

4 Common Cause of Lameness.

Probably the most frequent cause O; lameness in horses is caused by con traction of the hoof or feet, and this is caused by neglect either in shoeing or caring for the feet. When we stop and consider that there is a certain per cent of moisture in the structure of the hoof, we see the importance of supplying this need. The horse that stands on dry floor week after week must suffer from dry feet and this means contractions. The hoof here becomes hard and unyielding and the horse lame. If the shoeing be neg lected there will be an unnatural growth of the hoof, and that too not in a natural manner but closely held by the iron band in restricted form. In fact the ills from which the poor horses so often suffer are very largely to be traced to neglect on the part of the owner. The horse was intended for outdoor life on the ground where the feet would be kept soft and yield ing. If we would keep closer to natures methods there would be fewer cripples and less cause for complaint. Let us apply little common sense to our treatment of the horses.

Our Fruits,


 The Maricopa County Exhibit as sociation has secured a gem in the shape of bunch of Persian dates, pro duced on the ranch of Colonel F. C.. Hatch, four miles north of this city. It is single cluster, and weighs twenty pounds, and it was with difficulty that it was forced into one of the immense glass jars which the association has just received. There are two trees on the Hatch farm which were planted eight years ago, and one of them bore last season. This year it produced five clusters, none much smaller than the one secured by the Exhibit association. A section which can make q display of fruit, ranging from the crab apple of the north, to those produced in the tropics, certainly presents opportunities for the successful prosecution of the industry, and will command the ad- miration of the yisitor.-Arizonan.

Hints on Crane Curing.

The subject of grape drying, which is a prominent one in this state at present, is now being agitatedi in Liver more Valley. The experiment. was tried in Fresno last season with sue cess. Almost any variety but Burger will do, an eastern correspondence has developed the fact that there is brisk demand for all that can be supplied. The Fresno output last season was sold for B cents per pound-equal to about $52 ton for the grapes but eastern commission men predict even better prices this year. At the vi ticultural meetings recently, 1t was held that the grapes could be easily dried in the open air in Livermore, probably in about fourteen days. Clean gravel was recommended as the best place to dry, and trays could be used to cover the grapes in case of rain, Grapes to be dried should be very ripe-even left shrivel trifle or the stems may be twisted and the punches left to dry on the vine. These grapes are used by the poor people, in lieu of raisins and make very good substitute for use in buildings and cakes This opens a new industry in this valley, which will dispose of many of the wine grapes and tend to i'm prove prices for the remainder.-Mer- chant

Irrigation Statistics Abroad.

The reports of the Commissioners on Irrigation in California furnish the follow data of what has been done in foreign countries in this respect:
 lndia.-The works in course of con- struction and projected are estimated to cost $175, 100000, and the rate of expenditure Is now many millions an- nually. The work can be done cheap CT in that country than in almost any other, as the wages of skilled laborer are only 90 cents per day, and of an ordinary laborer 12 cents per day. Earth excavations can be made for } cents per cubic yard, and masonry $l.50 to $3 per cubic yard. In India four systems are in operation Canals, tanks or reservoirs, the inundating system, and wells. The Ganges Ca nal is 10 feet deep, ITO feet wide at its upper part, 300 miles long, and is in tended to irrigate 100000 acres. It can carry 700 cubic feet of water per second It cost about $12 100000, and would probably have cost many times as much in this country. This canal is nayigable, and was built and is owned by the government. There are several others which rival it it magni- tude and importance.
 The tank system prevails in Madras, where, it Is said, there are 53,000 tanks, with 3O,O00 miles of embankment, and 3OO,OOO separate masonry sluices and weirs. They are generally shallow from 6 to 10 feet deep. The govern ment owns these tanks, and the reve- nue from them is $7,750,000.
 Italy.-The first canal of which there is an authentic record was built in the twelfth century. The large Muzza Canal was built i'll 1920. The rainfall in Italy is about 37 inches an- nually in Lombardy, and about p in ches i'll Piedmont, but notwithstand- ing this fact very large area is irri- gated in these provinces.
 Italy uses about 24 900 cubic feet of water per second, and 100000 acres of land are irrigated. In the TOO years in which irrigation has been practiced in Lonbardy, it is estimated that $3O,- O00,O00 have been expended, with the result that the whole country is a gar den
 Spain.-With its high temperature and seanty rainfall, Spain needs irri- gation mere, and repays it better than almost any other country. Irrigated land is often worth from $700 to $500 per acre, while the same land without such improvement is only worth $S0. The Spaniards received their ideas oi irrigation from the Moors, and many of the older systems are the work of that people. The area of land irri- gated in Spain is, according to official reports, 4,439 square miles. The prin- cipal canals, however, only irrigate 50O,00O acres, the multitude of smaller canals and reservoirs furnishing water for the remainder.
 In France irrigation is more of To- cal than national enterprise The rainfall is from IS to 32 inches an, nually, so it is not necessity. Ir England there are now extensive wa ter meadows, and irrigation on the Italian plan has recently been at tempted.-Ex.
