Let The People Organize.

Let ne 1cOpIC vi o1HZS'
The Hon. J. II. Todd, author
lied state organizer of the Peoples
Party, acting under direction OF the
State Central Committee, OF which
Hon. Z. D. Mclaughlin OF Seattle
is chairman, issued a call to the
Peoples Party Of the state, urging
them to organize for the coming
battle. We produce herewith as
much of the address as our limited
space will permit at this time:
"While it is claimed by some
that in the late election the cause
for which our party is struggling
met with defeat. we have the glori-
Gus satisfaction OF knowing that
priceless victories are constantly
being won. Turn where you Will
throughout the great civilized world
and YOU will find the immortal
truths for which we are contendlng
marching onward to triumphant
success. In Europe, in Australia,
in New leland, as we'll as in the
United States, the principles OF
municipal ownership OF public util-
tiles, and justice in taxation, have
taken deep root in the great public
mind. In many localities these
principles are now in active and
successful operation. At this mo-
ment large portion OF the people
! in all political parties are demand
ing that our government build, own
and operate tie Nicaragua canal,
and establish postal savings banks
for the safe keeping OF the peoples
money, to take the place of ire
sponsible corporate institutions.
Add to this the great struggle for
municipal ownership now in pro-
gress in all The density populated
centers OF the United States, where
the granting of franchise means
millions to some merciless aggre-
CATION OF corporate benefciarles
Even in Seattle, the leading city OF
this state, a struggle is now in pro-
gress that bids fair to result in the
municipality taking possession Of
and operating within the next few
months one of the leading street
railroads."
Hon. E. D. Mclaughlin, chair
man OF the State Central Com.
heartily endorsed the address in
full, the following being his letter
in part:
"Well may you say at this time
'To your tents, Oh Israeli Goo
grant that our people may have
sufficient courage OF their convic
tons to gather our party together
in unbroken phalanx, reinforced by
other true believers in honest reform
with right Tor all and specia
privilege for none-until they shall
have whipped the usurpers of Hill
gifts to all humanity from thu

changers from His temple, never tt

Our Boys at Manila.

Whatever view one may hold as
to the expansion policy, there is
only one that will actuate all our
peoples aspirations for prompt
and complete suppression OF the
Filipino force. Our soldiers are at
Manila to sustain the glory of the
flag and the steps taken by our
government. "Theirs not to reason
Why" but to do. With them are
our hearts. A few have already
found death in the line of their
duty, some are suffering from
wounds, others are wasted by
disease. The list of sufferers must
necessarily grow. But there is
glory in this self-sacrifice. The
men who risk their lives in defense
of the nations policies nobly earn
the regard of all their contrymen.
With tears for the fallen, with
hope of recovery for the afflicted,
with pride in the devotion Of all,
our people watch with solicitude and
affection the work of the gallant
young men who are sustaining the
reputation of American proves
and honor in the distant isles of
the sea.-Tacoma News.

Our esteemed contemporary, The
Dawn, has been, and is still, writing
yards of stuff on the organization
of a union party. A careful pc
russell of the articles, however. fails
to give usany information just how
the amalgation process is to be
brought about, and above all else
why it is really necessary. What
assurance have we that the new one
is going to be any better than the
old ones? We Democrats are
pretty we'll satisfied with our
name, and since the
Populists are dissatisfied with their
organization, come along and join
us-not overlooking the good things
in their platform.-Localizer
If the Aberdeen Herald and the
Ellensburg Localizer would put in
as much time, energy and vim
working for the amalgamation of
all the reform forces into one party
and the success thereof, as they do
in fighting movement in that
direction, they might be power

Doctors are often wrong.
The local doctor is an overworked indi-
vidual. He hurries from case Of scar
letina to case of diabetes and ffon that
to the amputation of leg. He must act
quickly-sometimes hurriedly. 1t is not
strange that he makes an occasional mis-
take. But mistakes are dangerous and
should be avoided.

$2O0 at 50 cents per buskeI-the mirimum price. At the present time potatoes are retailing in El Paso at $1.60 per bushel, and Mir, Galucia does not expect a bushel of potatoes raised on Sacramento mountains this year to bring less
 than $1,00 per bushel. The maxi mum production of an acre of Ar kansas bottom lands is one bale of cotton of 300 pounds. This, at five cents per pound, brings the planter $25 per acre. If an acre of Arkansas soil produced only 100 bushels of
 potatoes (the lowest estimate) to the acre, it would bring in $50 to !. the acre, counting the potatoes at 50 cents per bushel. From these figures it seems to me that it would pay our Arkansas farmers to intel ligently investigate the potato in- dustry.

ONWARD 4AD UPWARD.

The Stuttgart Republican has the following kind words for Pine Bluff:
 The enterprlsing citizens of our Sister city, Pine Bluff, is worthy of emulation aBd an object lesson to our Stuttgart people. She has just donated 40 acres of valuable land and subscribed $50, 900 to secure an immense timber plant from Wiseon- sin. Ia addition to the above enter prise, already secured, her citizens are negotiating for the location within her borders of a mammoth factory for manufacturing upon an immense scale, wind mills and every variety of farming implements, and the successful closing of the latter is almost assured.
 The city of Pine Bluff has, within a few years, grown from a strag- gling town of few hundred fever stricken, ,ague shaken, malaria inted inhabitants, to fourising, healthy, prosperous city of nearly fifteen thousand population, and is now one of the healthiest localities possible on the Arkansas river.
 Thanks, Bro. Soekland. Pine Bluff has come to realize the many advantages which are hers, and henceforth her ways are to lead onward and upward.

The New Mexican Coal and Min ing Company are the constructors of the El Paso $ Northeastern Rail way, the Alamogordo & Sacramento Mountain Railway, and the owners of the Alamogordo Improvement Go. They are all separate organiza- tions but owned by the same capi- talists and practically under the same control. As l stated in ny last letter, the money for the above properties is being furnished by Scranton, Pa, capitalists. The az gregate pay roll and expense of the above corporations for the last month, so am informed, was a hali-million dollars.
 The Fl Paso & Northeastern Rail- way is com pleted to this place, 86 miles northeast of Fl Paso, and by the end of this week trains will be running into Tularosa, fourishing old town of gardens, orchards and vineyards fourteen miles from Alo- mogordo The road is to be built to the mining town of White Oaks, 80 miles from Alamogordo and 166 miles from EI Paso. Here rich coal fields that will be almost as profta ole as gold mine, will be reached.

One of the most unique sights l saw the other day while climbing the Sacramento mountains was a large herd of goats, at least thou sand in number. They were scat tered over the mountain side and made a most interesting sight. Up- on inquiry l ascertained that they were the property of Mr.---, who is sad to have 5000 goats feed ing on the hillsides. He livesin the mountains aud has no other means of livelihood. From these he real izes a very handsome income. He sold 700 goats a short time ago at g each, or $1, 400.
 What is to be the largest goat ranch iu the world has recently been started at Lamy Junction, New Mexico by Eastern leather manufac- turers and capitalists. The ranch has already been stocked with 50,- 900 goats, which are to be used for breeding purposes.

WHY LONGER W4T7?

WHY LONGER H1IIE
 The citizens of Pine Bluff, for some little tune, have had propo- sition before them claiming their attention and awaiting their action. This is the proposition of Lamb & Company, of Freeport, IL. to put in and operate a manufacturing plant here. Toward this proposi- tion our citizens have been and are very favorably inclined, but it has been deemed best to rid the G.ty of other previous business before talk ing any active steps in the matter referred to. The Austin & Sawyer mill ard railroad and the electric street railway project claimed priority to the Lamb < Com pany enterprise. The Austin & Sawyer mill and railroad have been secured. There is virtually nothing more to be done regarding these enterprises. The electric street railway, so far as the present fran ehise is concerned, has proved failure, and signal failure at that. It has reached the end of it's tether, and Pine Bluff now should shake herself free from
 
 all and any encumbranees and ohli- gations (virtually she is under no obligations now, nor has she been for sometime) which have been thrown around and placed upon her by and in this matter. It has been very evident sometime that .here was nothing in this project of Mir. Wood add his eompay for Pine Bluff, then why waste valuable tune and expend useless effort with a dead issue? Better turn our at- tention 10 something plausible something beneficial. Let the street car project go to hades, or some other warm country, for the present and let's garner the grain that is now ripe for reaping. If Pine Bluff has to pay for building a street railway, she has people right here who are capable Of constructing ard operating the same, and this is what should be done. No services from on the outside are needed.
 Now, to our point. Lamb < Com pany propose to put in a manufact- uring establishment here. The prop osition of these people already have been made familiar to the pub. lie through the columns of this paper. These people are represent ed in the commercial world as be- ing people of means, and who will do what they say they will do. As to the industry they propose to establish in Pine Bluff, no bus mess man can fail to see the advan- tages to be derived therefrom. They ask no bonus, all they want is for Pine Bluff to take a certain amount of stock in the enterprise, and this stock within itself is ample security against losses, as the enterprise is one which will bring its own returns in due time. It is just such enter prises as this we need to build up our city and country, We have here raw mater ial in the greatest abundance. Cannot blind man, even, see tkat if this raw materia is worked up here at home, sent abroad, and the proceeds brought back here, that a benefit, and a great benefit, is ours? We think So; and we believe that the enter prising citizens, as a whole, of Pine Bluff realize the true status of

The discovery of the pota to in its native state in the Sacramento mountains is to lead to the exten- siye cultivation of the tuber h these mountains. The railroad company has imported twenty experienced potato growers from Greely, Col, to raise potatoes this year on the mountains. These are in charge and under tke direction of G. A. Galucia, also from Greedy, who has devoted nearly the whole of his life to the study Of the growth and hab, it's of the tuber. Greedy, Colorado, produces from 1000 to 5000 car loads of potatoes annually, with an aver age of 30,000 pounds to the car, and is perhaps the largest producer and shipper of potatoes in the world.
 We will plant from 300 to 800 acres n potatoes ca Sacramento mountains this year, said Mr. Galucia to me the other aay. i've have received eight car loads of seed potatoes, or about 5000 bushels, and will plaGt from eight to twelve bushels of seed to the acre. We then visited the seed house at Tob- pagan, near the summit and tbe terminus of the Sacramento Noun. tain Railway. The different varle- ties of seed potatoes were exp aimed to me, among which were the fol- lowing: Rose Seeding, Early Ohio, Carmen, Beauties Of Heabron, Man. moth Pearl andSnow Flake. Don't use the biggest potatoes for seed, said the expert. "The theory that the largest potatoes are the best for seed is a popular mistake. We go according to shape." Then he en- deavored to explain the various shapes best suited for seedlings, out l was not sufficiently vtrsed in po- tato- ology to apprehend it all
 Ia response to a question as to the soil best suited for the growth of potatoes, he said: "Preferably soil in black sandy foam resting on limestone and containing large percentage of vegable matter. The soll should also be loose and friabIe.

Special Correspondence to the Graphic:

Special Correspondence to the Graphic:
 Alamogordo, N. M., May 16- The builders and promoters of the EI Paso 65 Nor theastern Railway and their mount tain llne, the Alamo gordo < Sacramento Mountain Rail- way, are leaving nothing undone for the development of the country con- tiguous to thelr roads. It has been discovered that the Irish potato is indigenous to tPe soil of the =Sacra- mento mountains. Here it grows wild, covering hundreds of acres, and has grown, perhaps, since Adam was a boy. It is claimed by those interested in the development of this country that all the modern potatoes, those used in Europe and America, are the descendants of the little wild tubers that grow on the mountain side and in the valleys of the Sacramento mountains. The only difference between the wild and the modern improved potato is in size, the wild potato being from the size of marble to walnut, while the cultivated potato grows much larger.
