FARMERS ON INSPECTION TOUR.
Maryland Agriculturists Welt the
Washington Markets.


A number of farmers from southern Ma
ryland spent yesterday in this city observ-
ing methods which, it is believed by those
interested will be of service in their farm
ing occupation. The trip was under the
auspices of the department of farmers in
stitutes of the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege, a department provided for by the
legislature Of Maryland to advance the in
terests Of the farmers.
The visitors inspected the cold storage
rooms Of the Center Market, the method of
packing fruit and vegetables, and in going
through the market It was explained to
them how fruit and produce are handled
by the dealers.
They called on the Secretary of Agri-
culture and visited the division of soils and
the agricultural museum to observe the
wax fruit and vegetable models. At the
Metropolitan Hotel in the evening ad-
dresses were delivered and communications
read advisory and suggestive as to diversi-
fed farming in southern Maryland.
Today the delegation visited M. B.
Waites farm, on the Washington branch
which in the past eight years has been
reclaimed from an abandoned farm. They
are to spend some time in and about Balti-

DEER KILLS A COUGAR.
Fierce Fight to the Death Between the
 Two Animals.

A fight to the death between d deer and cougar was recently witnessed by two hunters on the north fork of the Kettle river, in the interior of British Columbia
 The contestants were large buck and powerful cougar. and John Shell and A. B. Jones. who were up country on fortnight's shooting trip, say that It was a royal battle.
 The attention of the chance on-look- CTS was attracted tc the scene at the moment when the cougar launched himself upon the buck from the limb or tree. He landed squarely upon the shoulders of the buck the force of the leap almost throwing the deer tr the ground. The buck recovered himself almost instantly, however. and the bat tie began.
 Posing his head luck the buck poised himself for an instant and drove two prongs of his antlers into the cougars Dcdy and then with delft swing for- ward threw his antagonist to the ground. Leaping backward. the head or the herd, with lowered head, awaited second attack.
 The buck had not long to wait for a renewal of the contest, for with a roar or pain and rage the coaugr sprang upon him. He was deftly caught upon the antlers of the buck and hurled high in the air. The moment the cougar struck the ground the buck was upon him, striking savagely with his fore feet, which cut lika knife blades, and driving his antlers again and again into his enemy. But the cougar was no passive adversary. He tore frantically at the deer with his great claws, until the buck had great gaping wound In his shoulder.
 F1nally they separated. but only for second, for the cougar by this time blinded with blood and almost disem. boweled, crawled forward for the final death struggle. Game as was the cou. gar. the odds were now wholly in favor of the buck and It did not take long 10 finish the cougar. although the latter made desperate efforts 10 reach the throat of the deer
 The buck walked up to his fallen foe struck him few times with his feet and then, after sniffihg at him and sat- isfying himself that the cougar was dead. slowly walked away The hunt CTS, with that sense of rough justice which prevails in the hills, suffered the bnck to escape unmJiestcd by them. agreeing that an animal that could put up such fight had earned the right 10 live.-San Francisco Examiner

MANY RAILROADS PLANNED
Extensive Building to Be Done in
 Western Mexico

Judging from preparations now un- der way western Mexico is entering on a tremendous bo;m in railway building, and in view of the fact that a great andr ich country. adjacent to Arizona, is 10 be opened up, residents of this territory as well as the entire country are catching developments with much interest. Persons who are interested in that section of Mexico and who have recently made trips through the coun- try state that several lines are to reach the Pacific coast this year and q num- ber of mineral lines to the great min ing districts are to be built as soon as material can be had.
 It is nov learned that the Phelps Dodge company proposes building to the coast as fast as the material can be had and several surveying parties are nov in the field working with all possible haste to reach tide water. The companys concession in the republic calls for the construction of only fifty miles each year until the coast 's reached, but since the company has ac- quired many valuable pieces of mining property in the Sierra Madre It has de- termined to push the road through the mountains 10 the coast. It Is under stood that the rad will reach tide water at or near Mazatlan. The road is twenty miles below Douglass to- wards Nacosari. and the grade has all most reached the big smelter at that place. The surveying corps are now in the mountains about the new shelter al Placerita and the road is expected 10 reach that place before the end of the present year.

ness, for it is now confidently believed that the Orient company will extend the Chihuahua 6 Pacific to :hc coast at an early date. The line is now be- Ing located and building is expected to begin within a few months at least.
 The Sonora road branch of the Southern Pacific Is making arrange ments to extend it's road from Guay- mas 10 Mazatlan by following the coast.
 It Is said there that the Hearst estate has induced the Chihuahua X Pacific company to build It's line from Mlnaca north to the Hearst ranch, and possibly to connect ySith ttt. sierra Madre road at or near Casas Gran1es.
 It Is said that the object of this deal IS to give the stillwell road line to El Paso and the Sierra Madre road a connection with the coast road 10 MaZatlan, Along the line of this proposed road is some of the best country In Mexico. The richest mines in the mountains lie along the route, besides the best farm and ranch lands. The line has been surveyed in man. ner several times and it is said that the topography of the country will ad- init If a good grade. The road will also reach fine timber country.
 General Manager Sheldon of the Chi- huahua & Pecifc has been over the line through the Hearst estate num- Der of times this winter and left Chi huahua Thursday for another trip. When asked about it he said he was just going hunting. but the Chihuahua people think that if he makes many more trlps he will have slain all the game In the country.
 How to reach Fl Paso has been a question with the Stillwell people for some time a:.d it is believed in Chi huahua that deal will be made by which the company will reach the Texas city over the Sierra Madre road. The officers of that road at this end say they know nothing of 1t.
