ED. NEWS; There has been q good
deal said of late In your valuable
paper about the high price Of Bax-
ter property and the disinclination
of property owners TO sell their
holdings. hope you do not put
me In that class, for u you do you
are misleading, irrelevant and In
competent
have sold within the past few
years over 700 city lots ut prices
ranging from % TO $50 each. Ihave
sold them on easy payments
monthly payments, yearly pay
ments and no payments whatever.
When I could not sell I have
given them away to parties who
would build, and over 100 happy
homes are now standing on the
cheap lots have sold to poor peo-
pie, and some of these have had
twins.
I stili have few hundred desir-
able city lots for sale to parties who
wish to make homes for themselves
or build churches, school houses
and public Libraries thereon. I
have lots 40 low as $40 each, SIS, SO,
$25, $50 and 500. This 10 no adver-
tisement, but q refutation of your
claim that there 10 no cheap prop
erty for sale by owners. I offer You
the finest residence block 10 the
city for 500. It 10 covered with
fine large forest trees and ought to
be worth $1,000. I offer you a large
brick residence with half a block
and brick barn on the best resi-
dence street of the city for $500. II
lie worth today $4,000. Is there any
hold up In thisr
Ihave a 7-room house with 8 lots,
shade and fruit trees, fine well, out
houses and modern conveniences
for $500; a 7.room house for $3.50 Ito
be moved; 10.acre tract with good
house and barn adjoining city for
$1,000; a quarter of a block covered
with large forest trees, in fine ioca-
ton for $3.50; half block for $3.50; a
number of business lots at $275 to
$1,000. fyou 60 to one of the prai-
RE dog towns of Oklahoma you
can't buy them for these prices.
Now, Mr.. Smith, do you want to buy
some lots, or do you know of any
one who does? 1 have them with
clear title from $40 up. i also have
come cheap email residences and
in fact all kinds of property. If you
think I am too high I will leave the
price to arbitration. Now will you
be good?
I have great faith in the future of
Baxter and am sure all kinds of
will double in value. am
sure of the electric road and other
roads. I know we will have a new
hotel, sanitarium. an opera house,
a lot of new business houses and a
large increase in our population,
but in order to have these things
we must put our property on the
market. We need come new blood.
The old fogies of Baxter who refuse
to sell and won't improve may re-
tard things for a while, but they
will get run over or killed in the
crush. Baxter Syringe has a start
now that cannot be checked or re-
and If there 10 no other way
to loosen up holders of vacant prop.
erty they should be taxed out of
sight. If you will furnish the buy
ers I will see that they get all the
they want at reasonable
prices. Don't forget this.

 C. L.. Justus who lives three miles vest Of Five Joints on the Yuma road brought in thlee interesting exhibits. One WAS st sauoIe of oats that were only siN feet hiss but what they lacked in length they made up in other good qualities. Some Of the heads were two feet long and in point of fodder the grain is marvellous. If the heads were clipped off one would almost take the stalks for sorghum, they are so stocNy and so burdened with big broad leaves Another sample is q single stool of wheat in which there are eighty stalks Another stoO! of wheat in which there are fifty-four stalks is marvellous mainly for the size of the heads. They are exceedingly heavy and well fitted and some of them are five inches long.

GOOD GRAIN SAMPLES
And More of Them Are Wanted at the
 Boerd of Trade.

Now that tEe board Of trade has de- clded to make an exhibit of Arizona products at the Portland exposition 1t is yer. much desired that the fruit and grain and vegetable exhibit be replen- ished as much as possible by new spe- cimens. Any rancher who has excep- tiOnal crops to place in evidence will therefore confer a favor on Chairman Boy Goodrich of the exhibit committee, as well as the board, to bring samples to the board of trade room as soon as fossible for the exhibit must be for Varded at an early day. There are a rUmber of fine grain specimens at the board room now but most Of them are too shall in quantity. make too small a sheaf to handle well without break IEc, to ieCes whcL they dry up. Some that are there now will probably be available however and mention has been made Of a number in former is sues of 5llis paper. Ttis has been an unusual year and particularly fine samples should be available, especially Of grain crops.
 Several rice exhibits were brought in on Saturday. that are worth men tioning even for the home readers. One of them is a sample of oats that was brought in duIine the absence of the secretary ao Ec does not know the name of the man who raised them. These oats aro seven feet and three inches high and well headed. It is pre- suucd they were grown in the Cave Creek bottoms and had to grow high to Keep from being drowned by the spring flOCGs.

at Atlantic City yesterday while de-
spondent over i'll health He was a
rich resident of Pittsburg who re-

ing an independent company.
His brother. Mr.. Gus lutte. was
recently in Paducah making an in
spection of local coal properties. and
knew nothing of the tragedy until

sent out to meet her and notify Mr.

Fuller details of the suicide are as
follows
Atlantic City, ~ j., May 25.-Wil-
liam C. lutte, a merchant of Pitts

Copper in 1902. sent bullet through
his heart in the Hotel Dennis, at
midnight Wednesday.
Two or three years ago, while at
Haddon Hall, this city, he tried to
end his life by shooting but the, bull
let merely made a scalp wound. Bro
ken not only in fortune. but in mind
and body, and with the example be
fore him of two members of his fam
lily. who killed themselves, he deter
mined to rid himself of this life, with
all its, disappointments.

Police Court.

As a result of the trial OF Stanley
Walker, colored who was charged
with housebreaking, three warrants
for false swearing will be issued, said
Police Judge ID. l.. Sanders this
morning when he dismissed the house
breaking charge against Walker and
fined him $50 and costs for a breach
Of the peace.
II seems that Walker was accused
OF breaking into house but he
claimed II was not he, but Hermann
Clements. Nellie Cooper and Georgia
Williams also swore that ID was
Walker, while Clements swore he
was across the street with a relative.
The relative swore he was not and
Judge Sanders stated that he would
procure false swearing warrants at
once.

Lou simms and Nelson jenkins. col
ored, was held over on three charges
of malicious shooting under bond Of
