Later Varieties aud neauirs

The one important point in growing
early tomatoes is TO have the plants
strong and as far advanced as possible
before .ransp planting into the open
ground. Aim to have good seed. The
smooth variety Is best, as the irregular
ribbed sorts are more liable 10 rot.
Sow the seeds in a shallow box about
seven weeks before transplan..ng out
OF doors. Place layer of pebbles
or fine coal in the bottom OF the box
for drainage, then fill with good gar
den soil Well pulyerized. II the soil
is TOO rich the plants will grow rank
and less stocky. Sow the seed quite
thick and cover them with fine soil,
about threefourths OF an inch deep.
Press the soil quite firmly on top.
Place the box in light, sunny window
in warm room. Keep he soil moist.

moved without breaking their roots
or disturbing the other plants.

SCRAPER FOR SLUSH.
Useful Implement for Cleaning

Where farmer has large ditch
running through his farm slush
scraper is indispensable. This one is
made from two-inch plank, sides five
feet long. with one end patterned for
the scrapcr and tapered to make
suitable handles, as shown in cut.
The scraper box should be four feet
wide, two feet from front to rear of
box, and one foot in depth. These
dimensions will move almost a half
yard of mud at each load, and a team
will pull it easily.
The top and bottom of scraper
should be banded with tire iron.

!: HOTEL LOBBIES

c. NJ. Williams of Colorado Springs
is guest at the Sheldon hotel. He is
Il member of the firm of Thurlow, Hut
ton & Williams. well known through
out the west as promoters of big copper
corporations and investors of large cap
ital in various parts of the country.
They. and other members of the COM
pany whom they represent. are the
owners of the Franklin Heights adj
dition to FL Paso. of which A. p. Coles
is agent. They also control the Denver
Resurvey addition to Galveston. oper-
ate mines in Cripple Creek. and have
valuable real estate interests in Colo
RADIO Springs When asked the object
of his visit here. Mr.. Williams said:
Il have Just returned from trip to
Chihuahua where l have been looking
into some mining propositions. and am
stopping in FL Paso a day or so before
returning home to look into our inter-
ests here. 1t is a matter of much graf
ification to us to see the manner in
which Ell Paso is growing and i'm
proving. l have been here several
times and every time l come see some
substantial improvement. This is the
only town out of all the places we are
interested in where we have never had
occasion to fOreclose a mortgage. This
is about the best indication of a town
that / can give. l cannot see what
can prevent the continued and rapid
growth of this city. The railroads are
centering here and opening up a big
territory contiguous to FL PaSo. The
roads are reaching out and touching
the mining districts that surround this
place which must inevitably result in
"A great financial benefit to the people
here. Experience has shown that the
roads operating in mining district
are the best payers and the place from
which they draw their supplies a flour
ishing community. They get good rates
on the supplies they take into the
camps and also on the ore they bring
out. / believe that FL Paso will be the
base of supplies for this immense dis
trict of New Mexico. the northern part
of old Mexico, and western Texas"
In reply to the question as to wheth-
err his people were contemplating any
| further investments in FL Paso outside
| of the Franklin Heights. Mr.. Williams
| said:
Il don't know that there is anything
particularly in contemplation at the
present time. but we are keeping in
close touch with Ell Paso. Capital will
always go where it gives promise of
| good investment. and. think FL Paso
offers that. In my judgment a good
deal of capital will be invested in and
around here. especially in the mining
fields. 1t is the history of mining
| camps that when interests become con-
solidated and the ground pretty we'll
| covered as in Cripple Creek capital
| seeks a field for investment elsewhere
| and this region will attract much of
/ that capital. In short. FL Paso is des-
tined to be a large city and nothing can
| hold it back"

NEWS OF
THE COURTS
Mrs. Freeman's Bail Fixed at 5000.

Mrs. Freeman's Bail Fixed at 5000.
Mrs. w. J. Freeman the woman i'm
prisoned at the county jail on the
charge of bringing stolen property into
the state from New Mexico. was be-
fore Judge Walthall this morning on
a writ of habeas corpus.
She alleged that her physical condi-
ton is such that to longer remain in
Jail would be detrimental to her health
and asked the court to reduce her bond
or order her discharge.
Judge Uvalde Burns represented the
defendant.
After hearing the woman'S state
ment Judge Walthall ordered that her
bail be fixed at 5000.
Mrs. Freeman was the only person
who testified during the proceedings.
She took the stand and told a pathetic
tale in n plaintive voice of her arrest
and Imprisonment.
She said she had been stopping in
the county Jail about three weeks just
prior to her arrest and just after she
filed suit against the Santa Fe for al
legged personal damages, she had met
Ben Williams. the Santa FEE detective
at his hotel and he had told her that
he would not arrest her if she would
withdraw her suit against the railway
company.
Prior to that time she said she had
been under the treatment of physicians
for injured eyes and had entirely lost
the sight of one eye and the other was
impaired. Her hand was also partially
paraIyZed and she was suffering from
nervous prostration.
Last night" she said. II was placed
in a cell at the Jail and the bed 1 had
been occupying was given to a special
detective.
Have you any influential friends
here. Mrs. Freeman. who would sign
as sureties for. YOU to the amount of
5000 asked Judge Burns.
IT have none at all around here.
replied the prisoner.
She explained that before she filed
her suit and while ill in Ell Paso the
railway officials wanted her to sign a
paper not to bring suit against the
Santa Fe for injuries received when the
depot burned. but she refused to do so
and under no other. conditions would
they admit her to the railway hospital.
although they had insisted on sending
her there.
District Attorney Dean explained
that the evidence of Mrs. Freeman'S
to show that longer confinement in the
Jail was Injurious to her.
The court asked counsel for defend
ant if he thought his client could make
bond for 5000 and Judge Burns replied
that he thought she could. as certain
persons might be induced to sign
through motives of sympathy.
Judge Walthall thereupon fixed her
bond at 5000.
Mrs. Freeman succeeded in making
bond this afternoon and was released.
