For the Week Ending September 21, 1903.
 Dry weather prevailed generally throughout the territory during the
 week. but rain is reported to have oc- cured in parts of Pima county on Sun day. Decidedly cool weather prevailed during the early part of the week, and damaging frosts occurred in the north ern counties. The latter part of the week was warmer, though the nights were cool throughout the week. There Wa 5nsiderable wind during the week. Though there has been proo tically no rain during the week, the supply of ir- rigation water continues generally suf- iicient for the needs of vegetation. and crops are not suffering from dry wealth CT. There was Considera ble damage to tender veget tion by frost in the north ern counties, but over the rest of the territory crops are in a very satisfac- tC.E condition. The corn crop is gen. eraly reported to be good. While in some localities the prospects for q large yield have diminished somewhat, gen. erally they have kept up to earlier eN- pectations. In many sections the yield premises to be exceptionally heavy. Except that which was planted late, corn is about matured and much of it has been harvested. There was con siderable damage by frost to late pieces of this crop in the northern counties. Grain harvest has continued in the northern counties, and except for late pieces this work is generally about completed. The late fields of grain are reported to have been injured by frost. The cool weather of the past week has checked the growth of alfalfa some what. The yield of this crop during the season was generally good. and from three to six cuttings were made. Garden truck was considerably injured by frost Tn the northern counties, and in the warmer sections the supply is diminishing. Sorghum did well gener- ally during the season. Most of the crop is ready for harvesting and much of it has already been harvested. Pc tatGes generally did well during the season. Late fruits are generally, quite abundant and of fair to good quality. The ranges are beginning to dry up in some sections, but feed is abundant and affords excellent grazing for stock. The supply of stock water is fair. but it is diminishing. Stock generally con- tinues in excellent condition.

DOCTOR F. G. SMITH.

Doctor F. G. Smith announces his candidacy for treasurer in this issue of the Independent. He was defeated by only 16 votes in the last Democratic primary and like the good Democrat that he is, abided by the decision of that majority and was never heard to complain.
 Doctor Smith is a native of Denmark, Madison county, Ten nessee, but settled here in 1874, where he has been prominently identified with the building up of the country. A good citizen, loyal partisan and faithful in the discharge of his profession, Doctor Smith deserves we'll of the Democratic voters of Jack son county and would no doubt make an efficient official.

GRASSHOPPERS,
 NOT BOIL WEEVIL.

A few days since T. H. Hutch inson of the George Taylor Com mission Company received a number of branches of a cotton plant picked near Prescott, Ne vada county, which it was feared had been attacked by boil wee wills. The specimens were turned over to the board of trade and forwarded to Washington for in- vestigation.
 Wednesday the following letter was received from Prof. L. o. Howard, the entomologist of the national department of agricul- ture, which will set at st the fear of the farmers of the Pres colt section:
 "Gentlemen Your letter o1 Dec. 8 with accompanying speci- mems has been received. The supposed eggs of the cotton bol weevil in the cotton stalk which you sent prove to be the eggs o1 one of the so-called long winged grasshoppers, known scientifi cally as Orchelium Glaberrimum The insect is of no great eco homie importance.

JAIL SENTENCES
 FOR LIQUOR MEN.
Fort Smith Dealers Plead Guilty to Selling Liquor In
 Territory.

Fort Smith, Dec. IT. Tom Powell, Pat O'Keefe and Dick Reynolds, three of the most prominent of the local wholesale and retail liquor dealers of this city, yesterday pleaded guilty before Judge Raymond at Wago- ner, I. T., of a charge of intro ducing liquor into the territory, and Judge Raymond annouced that he would impose a jail sen- tence. These are some of the cases which caused so much com ment and interest when the de- fendants were arrested. They have been in the habit of ship ping whiskey into the territory upon orders, solicited and other wise, and heretofore it has been understood that a delivery to a common carrier was, in fact, a delivery to the person; or, in other words, that delivery to a common carrier was equivalent to a direct personal delivery to the purchaser.
 The plea of guilty entered by the three named has established a precedent which has created consternation among all who have been shipping liquor into the territory upon orders, and will destroy the liquor trade with the territory. which has aggregated hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

MYERS CHOICE
 OF REGULARS. :"
Word Being Passed Down Line to Climb Into Myers
 Band Wagon.

Interviews with prominent Ar kansas Republicans of the 'regu- lar" faction indicate that the word is being passed along the line for the faithful to get into the band wagon and help to make the nomination of Hon. Harry H. Myers for governor unanimous.
 Although a number of well known leaders among the regu- lars have been mentioned for the nomination, little doubt exists now about the identity of the nominee. That MT. Myers will be the choice is a foregone con- clusion. One by one the list of those mentioned is being re- duced by declinations. The name of MT. Myers alone will remain when the Republican state con- vention meets.
 While this announcement is not inspired by any of the reg ular" leaders, it is undeniable that 1t represents faithfully the prospect.
 The insurgent Republicans will nominate Chas. D. Greaves of Hot Springs or Ben M. Foreman of Texarkana for governor.
 That there will be six nomi- nees for governor in Arkansas now seems certain. There will be one Democratic nominee, two Republicans, and one each by the Populists, Prohibitionists and So- cialists.
