ESTABLISHED FACTS.

Concerning Graham County, Which ar,

| Capital.
The agricultural resources of the
Gila valley arc both varid and ex,
tensive, comprising an area OF
arabic land of which there is al
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de.
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, of which from to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolificly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn Weld
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards Of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.
es near Thomas, IN the lower por-
ton of the valley, contains large
er per cent of tannic acid than any
ever sent to the extract works
from either Arizona or New Mexi-
co.
Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 500 per acre, in
improvements and water
rights.
Uncultivated land without water
right Is free to any settler under
the United States homestead law.
This class Of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal |
facilities have been increased.
The cost of maintaining the ca
nails which are owned by the farm.

acre per year.

TEARING UP THE WALKS.
The Schicker Brothers are the Prize
Winners, when Competing for
Cement Work,

The city editor was stroIIing on
Broad street yesterday and when at
the corner of Broad and State,
noticed the sidewalks in front of
the California Pete's restaurant
torn up as well as that Of the two
adiourning buildings, He saw --
Schicker standing near by and
knowing him to Oe IN the concrete
business, asked hlm how was work.
He said; Il have put down
several walks in the two blocks, and
have now on hand the contracts for
three building walks in this block
on two Just across, in front of the A
Keuameut building and more work
promised as soon as these jobs are
completed"
The Schicker Brothers are good
men. They buy their cement from
home people and employ home men
to help them They guarantee their
work and aud their guarantee is as
good as a bond They have issued
card of advertisement, and they
are not asahmed to invite an in
spection of their work
There has been several walks put
down here that the cement would
pull of exposing the rock under,
neath-some Of them on Broad
street. These walks were put down
by travelling men and there is nc
way to get at them to make them
repair their sorry work. The
Schicker Brothers live here, anc
you can depend on them. We in.

GATE CITY ROAD.
Filing of Deed for Kight-of- Way Into
CaddO Parish.

CduuU L allo
Yesterday the first deed for right
of way through lands in Caddo
parish, Louisiana for the TeXarkana,
Shreveport and Natchez Railway
Company was fIedinclerk Leonard's
office.
The name by which this road is
generally known is the Gate City
and it is pretty well settled that the
Iron Mountain either owns or con
trols it,
Mr.. G. W. Fouke, vice-president
of the Texarkana, Shreveport and
Natchez railway, was in the city
yesterday in person, accompanied
by Mr.. Jones, of Texarkana, at
torney for the road The deed
mentioned was from w w. Wal
lace, who sold 100 feet right of way
through his farm, the first one in
Louisiana on the line Of the road.
His farm is three miles west of Red
river and six miles east of the line OF
the Kansas City, Shreveport and
Gulf railway and forty miles north
Of Shreveport,
1t will be seen that the new Gate
City roads apparently preparing to
come right down Red river valley
into this city, 1t will be remember
ed that there was a meeting of our
citizens some four or five months
ago regarding this line and the
possibility Of turning over to it the
$50, 900 voted in aid OF the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas in case the
latter failed to earn it.
1t would appear that the TeXar-
kama, Shreveport and Natchez Com.
pauy is working right along building
and securing right OF way 1t was
not more than two months ago that
contract for buildldg six miles Of
the road which would bring the
track to the line OF Louisiana, was
let; and now it seems they are pre-.
pairing to secure right of way and
let out other contracts.
If this line is built, and it appears
almost a certainty now, Caddo
parish will have forty miles Of rail
way which win add about $3.50, 600
worth of assessible property to her
tax rolls and give Shreveport her
fourth line to TeXarkana connec-
tions, Shreveport Times,

THE LIE WAS PASSED
ATTORNEYS VARY THE MoNoToSy
OF THE ROCKER MURDER TRIAL.
Mr.. KeaIing's Words 10 Mr.. Wilt
sie-Case VIII Go to the Jury
Friday.

The Rocker murder case will probably
reach the jury Friday evening. The first ar
gument for the State was made yesterday by
Deputy Prosecutor Afford. who spoke i've
hours. Prior to the beginning OF the argu-
ment a wordy war occurred hetween attorney
Joseph Healing OF the defense. and Prose-
cutting Attorney Wiltsie, in which the lie was
passed. The trouble came up through mis-
understanding concerning Mrs. Stella Worth
ington, who testified early In the trial for
the State. In resopnse TO a declaration OF
attorney Wiltsie. the prisoners representa-
tive intimated that the prosecutor had told a
lie. Mr.. wiltsie sprang 10 his feet and
started toward attorney Kealing's table. but
both men were called down by the court.
During the noon adjournment the attorneys
met in the judges room, where Mr.. Healing
explained his position and apologized for his
hasty utterance-
Attorney Afford. after citing the different
authorities bearing on insanity as an excuse
for crime, placed the States Interpretation or
the ease before the jury. AT the close MS
arrangement OF the accused man was scafh-
ing. The State, he said. demanded the lie
OF the prisoner and he hoped the jury would
have the courage TO assess the death penalty.
Attorney Martin Hugg. OF the defense. will
speak this morning. This afternoon Willard
Robertson will address the jury on behalf OF
the prisoner. Attorney Healing Will close for
the defense and Prosecutor Wiltsie for the
State.

WHEAT WAS WEAKER
NATURAL REACTION FROM THE SUD-
DEN BULGE OF TUESDAY.
Leading Cereal Closed 3-4c Down,
with Other Grain Weaker and
Lower-Pork Steady.

CHICAGO. Feb 26.-It was a natural and
expected reaction from yesterdays bulge.
That is the whole story of to-day's wheat
market Wheat was at no time as high as
1t closed yesterday. and final prices showed
a loss Of &c. Corn and oats were sympa-
thetically weak. closing ssc and 14c lower.
respectively. Provisions show but little
change.
In wheat there was a smaller trade, the
market having more quiet periods, the
range for the session being &c. The feel
ing developed was rather unsettled and the
market rather on hating, hesitating or
der, operators acting with more than ordi-
nary caution. The tone at the start was
weak and there was quite general selling
by holders, who were much disappointed at
the tone of Liverpool cables. which came
in I'D lower in the face of the advance on
this side yesterday. The market there was
said to be affected by the free offerings
from Russia Northwestern receipts, too,
cut something of figure, the arrivals in
that section being AL cars, some larger
than last week and a year ago. The wealth
er, too, was mild and springlike and added
to the weakness. Under the early selling
pressure May, which opened off $3.50 at
667sQ67hc, sold down to 661kc, but later the
market TOOK a sudden upturn. 1T was re-
ported that twenty-four boatloads had been
taken at New York for export, and this,
with the report that 100000 blu had been
taken at Duluth for spring shipment,
caused some revival of confidence and some
good buying, starting prices up. and May
advanced to 67Hc. The exports made a
very fair showing-3S1.0 900 bu-and also had
a stimulating tendency. 100000 bu of this
amount being in -four. There was a very
fair business during the last hour, but a
marked disposition to cover at the advance
was developed, and the price gradually
weakened to 66%c, closing steady at that
price.
Corn was fairly active, but easier, the
reaction in wheat and liberal local receipts
having depressing effect. May opened
&c lower at 30&4c, and did not get beyond
that price, closing at 305sc.
Oats were very dull May opened &c
lower at 213sc, and, influenced by the lower
wheat and corr markets, declined to 21Ac,
closing easy at that price.
Provisions were heavy all day. The large
run of hogs caused weak and lower open
ing, with no recovery till near the close
when a better demand advanced prices
| somewhat. At the close pork and ribs
showed a loss of 2zc, lard being I'M
| changed.
Estimates for Thursday-Wheat, 40 cars:
| corn, $50 cars; oats. PAS cars; hogs, $4,000
head.
leading futures ranged as follows.
