In the Republican Convention at Pied
mont. on Tuesday, Col G. W. 4. Black pre-
sided as permanent chairman. On the first
ballot Hon George Hartman Of Grant coun-
ty was nominated. Taken in connection
with the prominent part taken in the State
Convention at Martinsburg by Col. Black in
opposition to the Force bill, the Mckinley
bill and the autocratic rule of Speaker Reed,
his selection as President Of the Convention
looks as if ibe Republicans Of this district
are no, a unit on the Harrison adminis;ra-
ton lines.
OF course there is no expectation on their
part to defeat Mr. Wilson at the polls. A

 The rabbit pest bids fair to become "holy terror" to ranch and orchardmen in portions of the valley. About the only way to protect the young orchards from them is to fence with rabbit-proof fences or surround the orchards with considerable areas of alfalfa or other green and tender stuff for their feeding. If young orchards are given no protec- tion the rayenous pests are pretty sure to destroy them by eating the leaves and bark of the trees. Some farmers plant watermelons for thor particular use.- Phoenix Herald.

We were right in disbelieving the statements of the herders in charge of MT.
