BIG MONEY IN TRUCKING.
III. B. Matthews, of Smith County,
Texas, Gets ST. 500 From rs
Acres of Ground,

The Cotton Belt Route, throu yh
its General Passenger Department.
at St. Louis, is giving our dara re.
garding the growing of fruits and
vegetables along its lines in Eastern
Texas. Here is what Smith county
man accomplished during the season
just passed, the interview appearing
in the ''Diversifer," published at
Tyler, Texas.
Mr.. II. B. Matthews said: a.
81 had two and half acresfn
Strawberries; gathered 213 crates;
sold for $40. l put out eight acres
in tomatoes; gathered 1,430 crates;
sold for $940; planted the same, land
in late corn and fall Irish potatoes;
corn did only fairly we'll; potatoes
made fiae crop, and gathering at
this writing, and expect to realize a
good price for them in the spring for
seed. l had four acres planted to
Jones watermelous, from which 1
sold $50. I had six acres in pump
kin yams; two acres 1 set early and
four acres late; from the early patch
l gathered 800 bushels and sold them
for $3.50, and the late planting l am
not through gathering, though l am
selling them at SO cents a bushel as
1 gather them. I can not tell how
much per acre they will yield. I
have one and half acres in black
berries, from which l sold $1OO.
And for what l think of the outlook
of Cur country and truck business
would be almost afraid to tell my
honest opinion, for, some one would
think l was big land owner and
had lots of land to sell. I am only
a small truck grower, and have been
in the business but short time; but
from my experience and observations
| think the outlook for our part of
the country is Hattering."

A TREMENDOUSLY
RICH STRIKE.
Gold i'm Abundance Said to Have
Been DiscOt ered-A Wild
Stampede of ofProspectOrs.

Seattle, Wn., Jan. ia special
to The Times from Dawson says:
A tremendously rich strike, the
magniture of which has never been
equalled since Bon Henderson told
his wonderful story of the Klondyke,
has been made 18 miles north of a
point on Tenana river, 800 miles
from its source. The district is in
American territory. Circle has been
depopulated and wild stampede of
prospectors from all the surrounding
country is in progress. AS vet few
have reached the discovery.
- The holes that have proved tie
wealth of the country were sunk late
last winter and the first man to
reach Dawson from the new country
has just arrived. He is Japanese
named j. w. Wada, we'll known in
Dawson, where his veracity and hon
esty are well known. So far, the
report has not been spread to any
extent in Dawson, but the little that
has been told has created an excite
ment that surely means a stampede.
The gist of Wada's report is that
the district resembles the Klondyke
in its physical formation. but has a
heavier growth of timber. Gold in
widely different kinds had been found
in eight different creeks when Wada
left for Dawson on Dec. %.
The original strike was made on
Pedro, creek running parallel with
Tanana, about 18 miles from the
river. This creek is staked for miles.

LEE BESIDE WASHINGTON.
A Su9SestiOn That Valentine be
Employed to Make a Statute Of
Lee TO fill the Vacant Place I'm
Sfafuary Hall in the National
Capitol, to which Virginia Is En-
titled.

La the State Senate at Richmond.
Va, bill has been introduced by
Mr. Halsey,S providing for a statute
of Gen. Robert Z. Lee in Statuary
Hall, in the Capitol at Washington.
In connection Herewith letter from
Senator Daniel was read, in which
tho Senator says, among other
things:
"a letter from Elliot Woods.
superintendent of the United States
Capitol building, addressed to me
January 3, states that the State of
Virginia is entitled to two statutes in
Statuary Hall, and that the statute
OF Washington is now in place. 1t
seems fit that the Virginia artist,
Edward V. Valentine, whose recumb-
ent figure of Lee has attracted world
wide admiration, should also have
the honor of reproducing his upright
form and features in the statute con-
templated. There is no one to whom
l have mentioned the subject who
does not cordially approve the plac-
ing of Lee in the Capitol of the
United States by the side Of Wash
ington."

When the Lieutenant Governor of

has sworn to uphold and shoots down

of carrying concealed weapons is suf.
Fl fi,iently emphasized to demand the

The officer who himself violates ihe
law which by solemn oath he has uu-
