From the composition of bran as ndi-

This Year-The Value. of Diversin-

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ameri-
can Agriculturist, says: present farm
conditions should teach at least one i'm
portant lesson-the folly of urging the sud
den extensive cultivation of any one crop
by considerable number of people. Last
spring those who ought to be authority
in agriculture, expended their energies
in picturing the great advantages and
large profits in raising potatoes. A nuRl-
Der of railroads also favored this scheme

to practice diversified farming, but the
acreage ought to have been gradually in
creased so, that an unmanageable surplus
would not have demoralized the market
and thoroughly discouraged the raisers

to consume the surplus. The same is true
in a general way of apples. Immense
young orchards are coming into bearing

For Home-seekers.

An effort is being made to reclaim
some of the arid lands between Cello
and Umatilla. A large tract of fine
land has been opened up by the Bailey
Ditch Company, which has about nine
miles of ditch completed, and water
covering about 1000 or 5000 acres. They
will rent these tracts to persons who
wish them, and furnish plenty of water
for one half of the produce raised. The
lands are on the Columbia river, few
miles above Coyote station, and the past
season the company has cultivated about
100 acres, and has raised some of the
finest garden truck that ever grew in
this section of the country; and for
fruit-raisers the climate and soil cannot
be excelled. Transportation and freight
rates to all desirable points for market
are reasonable and fair, Can ship to

And the Republican Convention Went

Des Noines, Ia, July 10-The well-or-
ranized forces of General Francis Marion
Drake of Centerville, achieved a signal
victory in the republican state convention
when Mr. Drake was nominated for gov
ernor on the sixth ballot after one of the
most warmly contested ante-convention
campafgns ever witnessed in Iowa. Gen
eraI Drake had as his chief competitor ex-
United States Senator James +. Harlan,
of Mount Pleasant, a man highly esteemed

took in the politics of the country during

General Drake. who is equally popular,
was backed by a shrewdly organized fol-

strongest candidate for governor on the

second place on the ticket, defeating for

Secret and selfish Ambition:

From The Cleveland Leader.
Washington, June 30.-f the statement
of a cabinet officer who IS a close friend
and political adviser Of President Cleve-
land is to be accepted as authority, MI
Cleveland has not the slightest intention
of becoming a candidate for third term
as president. This gentleman said today
that the president would in the near III
ture take occasion to publicly deny news
paper reports that ne would permit MS
friends to go into the next national demo-
crate convention with the purpose OF
effectng his reuJmin 8tion. He made thls
significant statement:
THE president has never entertained the
notion of candidacy for a third term, and
reports that he has are without authority
from Mr. Cleveland OF his friends To De
gin with. his nomination could not De
easily achieved. although IN my opinion
he is the strongest democrat IN me party
today. There is no deny .nS the fact that
he has enemies who would bring 10 near
every resource at their command to effect
his defeat and the uncertainties which the
situation presents would in themselves be
sufficient to deter HIM from entering
contest. In addition TO this. Ar. C!eve-
land has no intention of violating the un-
written law which operates against a
third term as chief executive.
The opinion which seems to prevail in
some quarters that it is tP- plan % Mr.
Clevc.and's supporters 10 stampede the
convention ana force the presidents re-
nomination Is absurd. as such action would
place him in the position that he would De

Opponent for "Dick Clark"

Montgomery. Ala, July 12.-(Special)-
The announcement of the candidacy OF
Hon. Francis l.. Pettus, of Selma, Tor gov
ernor of Alabama, on the free coinage OF
silver platform, will be like exploding
bomb in both factions of the democratic
party in Alabama. Coming, as 1t does,
so unexpectedly IL will cause genuine con-
sternation That Mr. Pettus is a candidate
on such platform is a fact that leaked
out here tonight from a prominent silver
lite. who has political influence anu pres
tige This expression to The Constitution
man is the first that has been made.
Mr.. Pettus was In the city few days
ago and had conference with this promi-
nent politician. cndeavoring TO secure ms
favor and support in the coming cam
paign. Though Mr.. Pettus has never been
an open advocate of the free coinage OIL
silver, his tendency and inclination nave
been that way and he was Regarded oouol-
full by the goldbugs.
No man is better and more widely known
in Alabama than Mr.. Pettus. He is
democrat through and through, being a
son of General Il. w. Pettus, OF Selma,
the "war horse of Alabama democracy
For many years he has represented Dallas
county in the state legislature. TWO years
ago he was speaker of the house, and IS
now president of the senate, being hold
over member OF that body. In the last
national campaign he supported David b.
Hill. In the last gubernatorlal campaign
he was a warm and ardent friend to Cap
tain Joseph +. Johnston. of Birmingham
No man in Alabama has a cleaner record
than he nor has there been any democrat
more loyal and answering to the success
OF the party.
The advent of Mr.. Pettus in the race
will lessen Joe Johnston's chances Tor
election to the governorship. The latter
however, has been twice a candidate and
failed.
Mr.. Pettus was asked why he came out
against Mr.. Johnston, and he replied that
Mr.. Johnston had had two trials at 1t and
failed to win, so he wanted TO try his
chances. Mr.. Pettus stated that he had
talked with many of mis- friends over the
state and they favored his candidacy. He
said further that IL Johnston ran for the
United States senate, he would support
him. Mr.. Pettus's chances to he COVER
nor are threefod Should Governor Oates
be elected to fill Senator Pugh's place. his
office, as president of the state senate.
would put him thus in the gubernatorial
chair. The same will be done should
Johnston be elected governor and then
United States senator. Then he has a
chance before the people.
Mr.. Pettus is cruising In the gulf
with a party of consenial friends and
could not be reached tonight. This infor-
nation comes straight.
