being present A resolution was unani-
mously adopted calling upon Congress to
increase the support of the Agricultural
Experiment Stations in the State by an
additional $4,000 to each one.
This may be done, and if so it would en-
able our station to more than double it's
splendid work done in the past, for it is al
ready equipped with all necessary ma
chinery and workers for the most part
and the additional money could be used in
widening the operations of the station and
increasing its usefulness in the way of de-
veloping better methods of agricultural
practice, intoxicating more scientific ideas
of farming
The papers and discussions on soil inves-
tlgation on soil investigations and meth
DDS of maintaining and increasing soil fer
tlity were especially prominent and val
liable. One paper indicated that by prop
er treatment of the soil and the addition
of suitable organisms considerable guam
titles of nitrogen may be added directly
to the soil from the air. The Importance
of this may be readily understood when it
is stated that nitrogen in fertilizers costs
at least fifteen cents a pound.

such that the President would have no

He declared his opinion that Mr.. Hay

RICHMOND SHOWED
UNDER.
A. & M. College Turned the
Last Trick by OveFwheim-
ing Score of $50.

Yesterday afternoon in the last game of
the season. the A. and NJ. football team
lowered the colors of Richmond College,
by the overwhelming score of 50 to 0.
Sunday evening Richmond arrived,
flushed with the victory of last Saturday
over Randolph that had set them
well towards the top of the list for State
championship, and confident were their
smiles, but they had reckoned too lightly
the determination and strength of their
foes.
By three O'Clock the crowd began to
gather about the checker board to watch
the brain and Drawn of twenty-five men
wrestle for Fictory. From all sides the
Red and Blue for Richmond and the Red
and White for A. and M. held in the
dainty hands of the fair Southern bellies,
could be seen gaily futtering to the
breeze. Also the college yells were heard.
Richmonds yell of defiance was answered
by A. and MS cry of hopefulness.
Shortly after the Richmond team swept
majestically into the roped arena and go
ing through their signal practice, the A.
and MS plucky eleven followed. After
trying their signals Umpire Whitaker
blew the whistle, which signified that the
game was on. Captain Smith, of Rich
mond, and Capt. Gulley, of A. and NJ,
decided on the 20 and Is minute halves.
Smith won the toss, defending the north
goal ard received the kick.
For A. and NJ. it may be said that every
man played excellent ball and put up a
fine game. Buckley, WEIGH, Gulley,
Gregory, Shannonhouse and Alternately
were especially noticed by the spectators
by their star playing,
For Richmond the visitors fought hard.
but in vain, as A. and MS defense was too
much for them. w
Miller for A. and NJ. kicked off to Rich
mond's five yard line. Mench returned
but three yards when Gregory fell upon
him and threw him with a thud that
caused the fair spectators to exclaim, Oh!
Here Richmond showed her strongest Of
fensive work of the day, they gained first
down. They tried again. but failed. A.
and M. fumbled on it's first attempt and
the hearts of the loyal supporters Of the
Red and White dropped twas Richmond's
ball. They tried, they tried again. They
tried once more, but the stonewall line
of A. and M was impregnable. On the
first rush Alternately skirted Richmond's
left end for twenty-five yards. Gardner
hits tackle for five on the next rush.
House" carried it over for the first
touchdown. Miller failed goal. Score,
to 0.
From this point on it would cause
the supporters of the Red and Blue much
agony, if we were to go into details.
From the time of the first touchdown
it was but procession. There was moth
ing to it but A. and M. Touchdown after
touchdown followed in such rapid success
sion that it would have taken a person
familiar with the Marconi system to take
notes. The one regret that A. and M.
has to grieve over, that it was not the
University of North Carolina that were
their opponents instead of Richmond, if
such had been the case, the championship
of the old North State would have fioated
over old Watauga tonight.
The line up were as follows:

TIE Bulletin insists that the new assessor must increase the next tax roll of the county to at least four. and perhaps five million dollars,
 the great bulk of which must of course come from the east end of the county. about S4O0,00O, nearly all of which came from the mining sections. but notwithstanding this great increase Of wealth, there was no decrease in taxes. Under such circumstances tax payers cannot bc expected to look for ward to raise in property values with feelings of unmingied joy. The pro- posed raise of Sl.7OO, 900, must of ne- cessity fall principally upon the min ing companies, which would be mos: unfortunate, coming as it would at q time when their product is worth twenty-five per cent. less than it was a year ago. Many new companies, which are spending vast sums in the development of their properties. have not yet arrived at the producing stage. and to assess them unreasOnably high would certainly b. unfair to them, and dctrimeuta! to the best interests of the country. The mining com mpanies of this county have made better returns than those Of any other county in the territory. The ERA does not believe in stand and deliver policy" as pro- posed by tho Bulletin. The ERA ex- pect Assessor Birduo to do his full duty, but he should not allow Mir. Kelly to cocrcc him into punishing anyone. The mining companies have made Graham county what it is, and if allowed to live and do business for few years they will make it's name famous throughout the world and in- crease it's present wealth ten fold. But Mir. Kelly is politician, and is doubt less more interested in making trouble for Mir. Birdno than anything else. Mir. Kelly has been the boss of the democratic party a long time and it grieves him to see rival come to the front. If Mir. Birdno don't raise prop erty values then Mir. Kelly will tell the people of the valley that he failed in his duty, and the thing is done. The Bulletin says:
 1t is to be hoped that Mir. BirdnO will show his fitness for the position"
 In other words Mir. Kelly casts q serious reelection upon the fitness of the new assessor for the position to which he has been appointed. It is now up to MT. Birdno.

TUE ERA recently suggested that should be to put the territorial pcni- tcntiary in q position that it might be sclf-eupporting. as the same instjtu- tion in New Mexico has been for many years past. To tLis suggestion the Bulletin stated that the pcnitentiary was under republican control, and that the republicans were responsible for the fact that it is q heavy annual eX- pense 10 the tax payers All Kelly can sec in any question is the political aspect, but in this, as in many other instances, he is mistaken, for while tho governor appoints the superin- tcndcnt of the pcnitcntiary, the in- stitution is under the control Of the legislature, which has been democratic for To. these many years. The super.n- tendeut cannot make the institution self-supporting without appropriations for the establishment of brick plants. and other machinery to give employ ment to the cOnvicts in manufacturing something that can bc sold to the pub lie. One of the first acts of the legis- lature should be to appoint a committee of business men to investigate this subject, and on its recommendation appropriations should be made 10 carry out the plans of the committee. The ponitentiary is under the control Of the legislature, which passes appro- priations for its support, and has the power to remove it to any other point in tho territory should it see lit 10 do sO. The institution can be made self let the responsibility rest where it be- longs-on the shoulders of the demo- cratic legislature.

1 TIE ERA last week advised the peo- ] ple of the lower Gila valley to drop their efforts 10 secure a territorial
 poor farm. which would be Of little. il any Use tO them, and 10 go after an ] Agricultural College, which would be
 O! vast benefit to them in more ways than one. The ERA will now give ! them another pointer, which, fl car l ricd to a successful conclusion, will double the value of their land many . times over. and that i- the establish mcnt Of beet sugar factory al some central point in the valley. Beets a. q money crop will bring in several ] hundred dollars an acre to the owner Of the land. Ten acres in beets is
 worth more clear money to the farmer : than one hundred acres in alfalfa. r the newspapers of the valley would cschew politics, and go to work with a will for the development Of the valley
 they might accomplish much. What
 the Gila valley needs is intense farm- ing. Alfalfa i7 all right in it's way,
 but in land which has been so greatly
 favored, it seems little less than a crime to import vegetables, fruits,
 chickens, eggs and butter. And es-
 pccially is this true in q country where
 butter always sells for from D to 10
 cents per pound, eggs from 25 to 10
 cents per dozen and chickens 70 cents
 each. Clifton and Morenci will al
 ways furnish an inexhaustible cash
 market for everything that can be
 grown in the valley. The Gila farmer
 should diversity. Don't depend on one crop. Grow what the market calls for,
 and then put it on the market in de-
 cent and salable condition. If the
 residents Of the valley havn't the
 money to erect q beet sugar factory, appoint husting committee to go out into the world and raise the money. L3t them have their soils analysed, and, if they are adapted to the culti- vatiOn Of beets, get the farmers to- gether and have them sign articles to plant several hundred acres Of beets as starter, and the hustling com mittee will find it easy to raise the money for q factory. Get the news papers to let up on politics for a little while, and talk irrigation and devel
 opment. The fact that grand old Graham gave q democratic majority of zoo, and is therefore entitled to some thing from the lcgislature' is not of so much importance after all, for the Gila has q soil equal to the valley of the Nile, climate surpassed by no other section of the world, and an abundance of water that can be had from surface wells or from artesian sources. What the valley needs is new men, now money and new ideas, and less political talk Let the news papers down there advertise what they have, and keep at it week by week, then jet the commercial clubs and citizens buy those papers by the thousands and circulate them among people who want homes, and they can soon have one Of the most beautiful, prosperous and progressive cOmmuni- ties on the face of the globe.
The copper era., 1903-01-15

THE Bulletin is greatly grieyed be- cause the ERA did not take of its coat and aid it in tablishing a terri torial poor farm in the Gila valley. The Bulletin seems to ignore the fact that two of the Kelly combine Of news papers, the Review and the Inter- national oppose the scheme. The ERA fails to sec wherein the poor farm would be any great benefit to the val ley except to furnish good salaries to a few citizens. Several counties in the territory already have poor farms es- tablished, and it woIld be unfair to compel them to abandon their insti tutions, or if they maintained them to pay taxes towards supporting a terri torial poor farm. To locate such an institution in one corner of the terri tory would cost the tax payers a large sum annually in transportation. Such an institution should be located in the conter of the population. When the Bulletin goes after something that will be of real and lasting benefit to the valley, the ERA will join with it in the enterprise.
