Mississippi valley states and under

The available rainfall iu the
states of Indiana and Illinois
during the cop season is from I3
to I6 inches. These estimates are
based on government statistics and

barley crop for example, must be
largely made by the rains, from
May nearly through July; oats,
May to the middle of August; corn
from the middle of May TO the

One of the representatives of the
railroad interests before the state
board of equalization, intimaied
that any raise in valuation would
be followed by an increase of rail-
road tariffs. This was a bluff
which the board promptly called
and raised the assessment on all
main lines in the state from $500
to $3.50 per mile. We will now
look 10 see if the railroad tariffs
are advanced in Idaho.

Berlin Nov. 5.-Germany, the Associat- ed Press is advised, will observe com plete indifference to the political side of the Panama revolution. Both the revolu- tionists and the government forces, it is assumed. will respect the political and personal and property rights of the Ger man residents at Panama.
 It is considered likely that the com mander of the German West Indian squadron will send a vessel to Colon. as that is now the most interesting place within his cruising field. It is also con ceivable here that the German naval commander rsight land marines. in com mon with the United States and Great Britain if such action seemed desra- ble.

PERF1DY OF SAXON RACE.
Seen By Mexican Paper in Panama
 Situation

Mexico City, Nov. 5.-There is great public interest here in the revolution in Panama and the under current of the talk in clerical party circles where Co., lombia Is regarded as in sympathy with It's program is that the American au- thorities are the secret promoters of this disturbance and are planning to seize the Panama region and annex 1t to the United States. The Clerical organ, with a wide circulation here. Fl Tiampo, is indignant over the news from Panama and says In part:
 Profound stupifcation has been caused in Mexico by the news in regard to the revolution that has broken out on the Isthmus of Panama.
 "It is perceived not to be merely an other revolution added to the already long list of those that have occurred in South America, but 1t is a farclcal pre- Jude to a terrible drama which is about to unfold itself on the coveted isthmus and which will end perhaps with the dis memberment of the unhappy Colombian nation and the augmentation of the pres tige and power of the United States on the American continent"
 The paper in conclusion charges that the revolution is probably the result of the resentment which statesmen and pol iticians of the United States experienced at the fiasco of the Hay -Herran treaty and says it is but another exemplifica- ton of the perfidy of the Saxon race.

Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Nov. 5. At a meeting of the Dallas Agricultural Club today, w. R. Tarver made the in- teresting statement that underlying the soil of this section was enough phos- phate to meet practically all needs for fertilizer. He does not think. however. that the phosphate is in sufficient quan- titles to become a commercial product. The meeting today was an interesting one and was attended by twenty mem bers. President Lewis Johnson was in the chair and w. R. Crumpton was sec retary.
 Most of the session was spent in dis cussion of oats and other forage plants. Among those who took part in the dis cussion were Judge P. H. Pitts, Messrs. Wiley, Tarver, c. Kirkpatrick. Crump- ton, J. B. Ellis and B. F. Ellis.
 In speaking of phosphate deposits in this county, Mir. Tarver stated that in geological survey published in 1898 it was shown that a stratum of phosphate un- derlies practically all this section. At some points this rock outcrops, at othors 1t is thirty or more feet below the sur face of the earth.
 This rock. Mr. Tarver said. is mari and contains goodly percentage of phos- phate. When broken into small pieces or ground in a mill 1t is a fine fertilizer and when scattered on fields last for many years. He thinks it can not be used commercially, but that it Is excellent for home use.
 Other questions of minor interest were discussed. The club adjourned until the next regular session in December.
