Osborne of Boston; Hon. RGwel Clayton of Arkansas, and other we'll known men are here. The party make no cocealment of their purpose ito look after the interests of Gov. Nc Kinley as Ohio's candidate for the presidency.
 MT. Smith, one of the most active men of the delegation, said, we have no plan ito submit and are not favoring one city as against another, but the candidacy of Gov.

CONGRESSIONAL MEASURES.
A Representative Who Has a Spite
 Against Secretary Morton

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-The house has adjourned until Monday.
 MT. Baker of New Hampshire, who has proclaimed war upon Secretary of Agriculture Morton, because of the latter's refusal to expend an appropria- tion for the purpose of seeds for dis tribution among his congressional con- stituents, attempted to put through a resolution calling upon the secretary for information on the subject, but MT McMillan of Tennessee objected.
 Later Walker of Massachusetts, in whose district reside nine-tenths of the naturalized Armenians in this country, asked for the printing in the Record of a resolution reciting the outrages com mitted upon their relatives in Turkey and pledging the support of congress to any steps that might be taken by the executive for their protection, but to this MT. Turner of Georgia interposed an objection.

THE INSANE ASYLUM
It Is Neat and Well Kept-The Fa-
 nous Torches.

The asylum committee consisting of Jas. McMillan. W. B. Lount and P. P. Parker, reports that everything in and around the asylum shows intelli- gent, business-like supervision; the grounds well kept and economy seems to be exercised in all departments un- der the direct control of the superin- tendent, who we think, is exercising his important trust with the best care and judgment from both a financial and sanitary view.
 Under provision of act 7S of the Eighteenth legislature the board of control has expended $19,O19.9S for foundation walls, sewerage, porches. etc. There has been used of the $12,- 900 fund mentioned in section of said act, S11 ,938.77, and warrants issued for $7,08O.61, which are bearing interest at the rate of 10 per cent Warrants for salaries and current expenses of the insane asylum are issued to the sec retary of the board of control, who has them discounted at 2 per cent, and this discount the territory pays.
 "The board of control has purchased material for construction at private sale and let contracts privately for public improvements Where adver- tisements have been made the length of time was very short, ranging from four to six days, and in one instance the ad- Vertisement appeared in the evening paper and the contract let next morn ing at 10 a. m.; such acts cannot be too severely censured, for even if the law gives them this authority, it should not be exercised, for it leaves an open door to peculation and extravagant eX- penditure; and however honestly they may discharge their duties, 1t leaves an impression on the public mind thSt the treasury is being raided for their per sonal enrichment. The evidence be- fore us shows that in one case the ter ritory paid S630 for ten acres of land Tor Which the owner received $3S0; and in the matter of porches, the contract for building was let for S672, but owing to the fact that the work was damaged by wind while in course of construc- tion, the contractor received 1922, in face of specific clauses in the specified tions.
 "The last legislature did not pass an appropriation bill, yet We find a num- Der of warrants issued for contingent expenses of the governor office, main. tenance of Capitol grounds, and other items for which there was no appropri atlon, and which is in direct violation Of Par. 2967, Sec. 10, R. s. of Arizona which reads: No warrant shall be drawn by the auditor or paid by the treasurer unless the money has beer previously appropriated by law
 There has been received by tht board of control the sum of s16,SS6 for the maintenance in the teritoria prison of United States prisoners. Thi! is being held in the prison buildins fund against the terms of late legis laitive act, according to the construc tion placed upon it by the committee

STRUCK BY AN ENGINE.
Prof. Ed Hawthorne Meets His Death
 at Gila Bend.

Constable Davenport of Gila Bend, arrived in Phoenix yesterday morning and reports that Prof. Ed. Hawthorne, who is well known in Pfenix, and who left here few days ago, was killed half mile west of Gila Bend Friday night by being struck by locomotive.
 About 7:30 o'clock the engineer of light lo ocomotive going west obserned man step on the track and bend forward in stopping position. He immediately reversed the engine and put on the ar brake, but too late; the engine struck the man and threw him from the track. As soon as the locomotive was stopped, the engineer went back and found that the man was stone dead. He notified the Gila Bend authorities and coro- ner's jury was impannelled who pro- ceeded to the scene.
 It was found that hi. skull was crushed in and death must have been instantaneous. The engineer of the locomotive gave his testimony and was allowed to continue his trip. He said that he was going along at pretty fast rate when all at once the form of 8 man loomed up in the track short distance in front of the engine. The man appeared to be bending forward as if to meet the engine with his head. He WAS too close to allow the engineer to stop suddenly and was killed as described
 On the person of the man WAS found kit of barbel's tools and an envelope in which WAS written "I have the jim jams place me in jail. I guess it will be the best pace for me. Look out for my barbers tools in case insure them, in case am killed forward my effects to at Sacramento, Ed. Hawthorne. '"

Why 1t Paid to Make an Exhibit at
Denver.

First, We are very new county-less
than three years old. Many people en-
quire Where is Otero county?" Even
people living in Denver are not acquaint-
ed with the name, but when told that it
is in the Arkansas valley and that Rocky
Ford is in it everything seems to be IA
miliar to them. Then it was the first
exhibit of any note that has been made
to draw peoples attention. Too many
people inquired where the fruit came
from. The fact is that it is only three
years that there has been any fruit for
exhibition-it was always watermelons.
and none were supposed to know that
such an exhibit of fruits could be grown
here i'll so short time. Certainly there
is nothing that draws attention to and
intensities the inclination to come to the
valley US do the fruits. Then, our exhib-
it was good. First premium on native
grapes which would have been much
better had not several baskets exhibited
after shipment, also one basket of pears.
Then, second best on apples was not
slow against orchards that are three to
four times the age OF ours Jonathans
were awarded first, they being little
larger and higher color than ours. This
lower altitude and consequent longer
season accounts for the color. Our
Rambo drew first.
Our pantry stores were way ahead.
Tho people of the county drew back in
premiums nearly half what it cost to
make the exhibit
Then our exhibit was viewed by 5,oo0
to 5000 people daily from many states.
Even New York and Tennessee had
peep at us and bunch of grapes to
taste. The best is that we are before the
people in good shape with the big red
apple.

THE PUEBLO FAIR.
A Most Successful Exhibition, Of
Which Otero County Products
Were a Leading Feature,

Werc u LeoulhS ccatures
The Pueblo fair last week was certain
ly q success. The management evidently
worked hard to secure so large and inter
esting an exhibit in so'short o time. As
was proper the prominent features were
agricultural and horticultural displays.
In the line of fruits Fremont county had
the largest and most impressive exhibit.
But for general showing of the varied re-
sources OF the valley Otero county was
far ahead. There are but few products
grown in this latitude that Otero county
did not have on exhibition and all of a
superior quality.
A number of the business houses OF
Pueblo contributed most interesting ex-
hihibits in their respective lines, among
which were the Crews-Beggs Dry Goods
Co, the American biscuit and Mfg. Co.,
Dnpps Bakery, Pueblo Cigar Factory.
The Meeker Picking Co. had fine ex-
hibit surmounted by unique and beau
tiful sign composed OF cucumbers and
red peppers.
The exhibit of manual training work
by the pupils OF the Pueblo high school
was highly creditable to both teachers
and pupils.
There were many beautiful articles in
hand-painted china, showing that Pueb-
ladies have skill and taste in that line OF
decorative art.
The folding bath tub exhibited by E.
G. Lyman combined utility and beauty
in high degree.

No other portion OF the state promis-
es better facilities for dairying than does
the Arkansas valley. II the farmers
would make that business like they do
in some portions of the state, and turn
their great quantities of hay and feed
into milk and butter, they would be sur
prised at the gain over the present sys-
tenn. A small start has been made in the
way OF encouraging dairying by the es-
There has been a steady increase in the
quantity of milk sold to the station here
and the interest in dairyipg somewhat
promoted. But the impression is abroad
that progress in this important industry
would be more rapid il we had full
ly equipped creamery. Couldn't COM
pany be formed to complete the cream
cry? This can be done for less than
81 500. The value OF such an enterprise
to the country can not be doubted and
with a sure sale for the butter the in
vestment should be paying one. In
the past the Rocky Ford country has al
ways been wide-awake and public-spirit-
ed in business matters OF this kind.
Why not now continue in this good work
and form stock company Of farmers
and business men and complete the
creamery plant.
