Delta Experiment Station.

Several counties in the delta vii
submit ~fattering propositions to thu
board Of trustees of the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
tege, when that body meets to selec
a site for the new branch agricul
tural experiment station authorized
for that section Of the State.
The board will probably convene
during the latter part of November
at which time a committee will be
appointed to receive propositions,
visit the sites offered and make q re-
port on same to another meeting Of
the board, which is likely to be set
for some time in January.
1t is learned that Yazoo, Sunfow-
er, Bolivar and Washington coun-
ties are very anxious 10 secure the
experiment station, realizing It's I'M
pOrtanco as a factor in the develop
m"nt Of an agricultural country,
and the value Of experiments with
various soils, and the planters will
arrange some very tlattering offers,
notwithstanding the fact that delta
lands are now commanding fancy
prices.
The law providing for the estab-
lishment Of the delta station requires
that the donation shall not be less
than 200 acres, and a tract of this
size in the delta is worth a snug IT.
tie sum when lands are selling at
800 per acre. The law contem-
plates the donation of wild lands,
however, which can be obtained for
a much smaller sum.
The legislature made an appro-
priation of only $4,000 for the sup
port Of the delta station during the
year 1905, which is wholly made
quate in view of the large amount of
work necessary to get a new farm in
shape, but it is likely that the coun-
ties will also make liberal cash do
nations with their offers, which will
aid materially in getting the work
under way.

MURDER ON
 THE YUKON
M...S iated Body Found Near kOk. rine's Thought To Be
 Bill Evans.

Word reached Rampant on the 4th inst. that the body of murdered man had beed found in willow patch near Kokrine's, a Yukon river telegraph station.
 The body when found was in an ad- vanced state of decomposition, and the head horribly mutilated, having ap- parently been crushed by some heavy weight. The ghastly find was securely wrapped and lashed in some bedding.
 The belief is expressed that the body is that of Bill Evans, prospector who came from Dawson, and was known to have been in that vicinity some months since.
 That is the second murder reported from the same place, almost within q year, as it was early last spring that the body of Emery l.. Arnold was found.
