The contract was let this week to Reece Webster for hauling the ore from the New England mines to Cliff ton. Lumber for the ore bins is now arriving. Shipping will commence about the first of December. As soon as possible a 20-inch tramway will be built from Clifton up the river dis tance of 3 1-2 miles, and after it's completion the ore will be trammed down from that point. It is the in- tention of the management to ship 450 tons of ore per month by wagon, which will be increased on completion of the tramway to 1900 tons. As this ore is high grade, averaging better than fifteen per cent, it will be quite an addition to the output of the dis trict.

The contract for treating the ore has not as yet been Quite number of men will now be employed in and around the company's mines.

A. B. Arnold, track walker of the A. & N. M. railway, was making his usual afternoon inspection last Thurs day when he met with a most serious accident.

There came near being a serious fire at the A. c. hospital Tuesday morning last, which was due to the defective construction of the furnace located in the basement of the build ing. There had been hot frein the furnace all night, and in the morning the wall of the building adjoining the furnace became so hot that the base board and floor in the room above were ignited. Miss Chapman, the head nurse, called on some of the residents in the neighborhood for as- sitance, and several responded. Burt Moore, who was at one time chief of the fire department in the City of New Jersey, was the first to arrive on the scene, and immediately took charge and in a very short time he had the fire under control. MT. Moore conducted everything so quietly that the inmates of the hospital did not know that the build ing was on fire.

At the election held Saturday last
 to get an expression of the people residing in what was formerly known
 as school district No. 3, there were 437 votes cast. Of this number 396 were against merging the two dis tricts, 34 in favor thereof and void. The vote polled was remarkable con- sidering that many citizens refrained from voting and that the lines of the district comprise only about two thirds of the residents of the Clifton precinct. At the last general cleo tion there were less than $50 votes cast in the entire precinct. Another surprise was in the large number of Mexicans who voted. In the general election the vote cast by Mexican citizens of the entire precinct did not number more than 80 or 90, while in this election there were 224 Mexican names on the tally sheets. This caused much dis satisfaction with those who favored merging the district, but no chal- lenges were issued. This election is not considered legal election, though it was regularly called by the three trustees of the. former district, which was consolidated with district 38 by the board of supervisors at their last general meeting. As the vote was overwhelmingly against the consolidation of the district the take legal steps to have the action of the county board of supervisors merging the two precincts, set aside. This will no doubt bring the matter into the district court, which will be held at Solomonville in April next.

TRIED PLAYING HJBO.
E1RERLNEYTERFOUHD THATTHE
REAL HOBO has S0URED TEE
SOULS OF HUMANITY.

Connecticut Man Thought IL an Easy
Matter to Travel Penniless from
New York to Torrington Nov
Realizes His Mistake.
A prosperous Connecticut man has
made what he believes TO be fair test
OF the charity OF the world, and has
found 1t wanting. More, he has lost
faith In his friends and is absolutely
convinced that clothes do make the
man, no matter what schools may teach
or teachers preach.
William A. Gleason is his name. He
was a delegate to the National Temper
ance Convention ut Wilkes Barre. Pa,
e.hd stopping over In New York on his
way home, he decided to play "hobo"
for the remainder Of the journey, and
started out without money and dressed
like tramp.
He Had Theories.
He argued that the world is charit-
able. He believed that car conductors
would take pity on his plight and give
him lifts: that farmers would allow
the homeless one to sleep In their barns.
and that kind-hearted housewives
would feed the hungry after the man.
ner Of the Good Samaritan Now he
knows better.
The first conductor he told his hard
luck tale to would have thrown him
off the car IL he hadn't jumped. The
first night out he was turned down"
by half a dozen farmers and slept
hungry next to a fence. Housewives
called to their dogs when he ap-l
preached. and one woman-charitable
soul-made him saw wood for two
hours for one meal.
Friends as Bad as the Rest.
Matters got so bad at last that
Gleason went out Of his way to visit
some of his friends who had boasted
Of their charity. He was sure Of
warm welcome. even though they
wouldn't recognize him. He found his
friends were no more charitable than
the rest of the world, and without ex-
,eption he got from them the cold
and not cold pork shoulder |
either.
A postmistress scowled at him when |
le wrote three postal cards in the post |
,iiice. because he was disreputable |
ooking.
Even the Dog Misunderstood.
Even dog that he met troubled his
soul and made him waste half an hour
nending his trousers. In all his jour
ley he met but one person who was
lind to him, and this was waitressl
n a cheap Bridgeport restaurant, who
cad him lecture on the error of his
Ways.
Mr.. Gleason says he is glad he made
he trip, but he doesn't want to try
again. The charity of the world, he
las found, Is not what 1t is cracked
Ip to be.

MACAROKI OR DURUM WHEATS
Work Of The United States Department Of Agriculture
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

The efforts Of the Department OF Az
riculture not only contemplate the In
PRODUCTION into the United States OF
improved plants aud crops from foreign
countries TO take the place Of those
which American farmers are already
growing. and the breeding up and bet
tering Of those which we now have: but
also the Introduction of plants onto
great areas OF country now thought to
be unfit for farming.
Encroachment is constantly being
made upon the waste places of the
land: the semi-descrt and the low
places, by the Introduction Of crops
which, through long years and centu-
rics OF acclimatiZation In similar
regions OF the Old World, have become
either drouth or water resistant.
4 striking example of this sort of
work, which has already proven high
success. is the Introduction of the maca.
roni wheat plant. or, as II is more
properly called, durum wheat.

rrS found arraycd against them the
whole combination of Northwestern
millcrs, who said that the wheat was
poor, made only inferior flour and
would not make edible bread. But the
farmers had the Department of Agri-
culture back Of them, and Mr.. Wilson
had his own conviction about durum
wheat and Northwestern millcrs, and,
moreover, he had the courage to back
them up. The trouble with the millcrS
was that with the milling apparatus
which they used for grinding ordinary
No. | Red, they could not grind the
harder durum. and so they forced the
price of wheat down in the market and
threatened TO have Secretary Wilson
removed unless he stopped advising
farmers to grow durum wheat. The
Secretary, 1t seems, held his job. and
The farmers had faith in him and con-
Iinued planting durum wheat to the
rxtent Of several million additional
lcres each succeeding year.
Forced the MilIers to Terms.
