THE Austin Statesman remaks:

at seems to be rather hard mat
ter to secure a quorum of the board
of trustees of the encampment fund
for business meeting. If members
of the board cannot attend meetings
they ought to resign SO that men can
be selected who can and will attend.
This encampment must be made a
success or Austin will have received
a black eye. Get down to your

Exactly! But don't be uneasy

A Texas Product.

Texas is the greatest pecan
country IN the world. Here the
nuts grow larger and attain a
sweeter flavor than in any other
region. The trees are Indigenous,
growing to enormous size along
the streams and in the
more fertile portions of the prai-
ries. This year the nuts will bring
into into the state not less than
S250,000, yet only a small per cent
of the entire crop will be marketed.
Millions of bushels are produced
in the state annually, but by far
the larger portion are consumed
by hogs or other animals, or rot
under the trees on which they
grew. Ship loads leave the
wharves at New Orleans unassort-
ed, crude and rustic, fresh from the
trees as they grow to be fioated to
German, English, French, Spanish
and Italian ports. The shrewd
foreigners buy these valuable nut
at an average of 50 per bushel.
They sort and polish them by
machinery. sell the choice sizes at
forty and fifty cents per pound, and
the smaller sizes are converted in
to oil or manufactured into confec-
tions. No Texas farm Is complete
without q pecan grove. 1t will re-
quire from eight to ten years for
the trees to grow to maturity, but
the reward amply sufficient for the
trouble and delay.

applying to the measuring of corn
from crib of any size: The cubic

ear, measure the length, breadth
and height Of the crib inside the
rall; multiply the length by the
bredth and the product by the
height; then divide the product by
two and you have the number of

A NOTED CHARACTER.
Jim Cummings, of the Jesse James Gang,
 Now In Arizona.

A special dispatch to the San Fran cisco Examiner of February 2 from Missoula, Mont, announced that man arrested by Sheriff Membrue for particl- patton in the McCartyville murder was believed to be the notorious Jim Cum mings," formerly belonging to the Jesse James gang.
 A REPCBLICAN reporter was yesterday informed that Jim Cummings had only left Phoenix the day before, and learned the following facts from reliable author ity: Jim Cummings, after the war, was one of the famous Quantrell gang and intimately associated with Jesse James. He was later apprehended for complicity with the James gang for train robbery and a warrant was issued for his arrest in Missouri. About five years ago Cummings, who was then residing at Buffalo, Wyo., gave himself up to the authorities and was taken back to Mis- souri and upon trial was acquitted of the charges. He then returned to Wy oming, remaining there time and moving to Nevada. From Nevada he went to Los Angeles, Cal, coming to Arizona about two years ago.
 He was appointed deputy sheriff un- der Sheriff Whalen during the last term of court in Graham County.
 Some five or six days ago he came to Phoenix to visit Dave Pool, who is his old friend. He left Phoenix yesterday morning for Tombstone, where he is now. MT. Cummings, now known as James Johnson, is said to be by friends

Indian Deprayity.

From the MOhave Miner,
 About two weeks ago an Indian com monly known as Glass-eyed Bill, shot and instantly killed his papoose, at his place on the Big Sandy, for no other reason than that the child was sick and had been crying and wailing the day and night before. The inhuman brute took the little one, and. despite Its pit iul pleading for mercy, placed it on a sand dune and deliberately shot it. About two years ago this same brute shot and killed his squaw in like manner. The squaws told the story of the killing to the white folks on the Sandy, but we suppose no action will be taken for the punishmen of this monster in human Vuise
