A Washington dispatch to the
St. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat, says
that Speaker Cannon has handed
out an ultimatum to the senate
leaders as to what he will stand
for in connection with the state
hood bill. He has yielded tar
enough from his original position,
which was a most vehement one,
to let President Roosevelt and the
republican leaders know that he
will agree to the statehood bill go
ing through as passed by the SEN
ate if it contains the amendment
introduced by Senator Foraker at
the last session of congress. This
amendment provided that New
Mexico and Arizona should hold a
constitutional convention and ar
range to be consolidated into one
state, the constitution passed by
the convention to be submitted to
the people of both territories in an
election to determine whether they
would ratify it and agree to be-
coming a Joint state. In the event
that either territory voted against
the constitution, then the whole
thing was to be void and no state
organized.

Of the Eddy County democratic
primaries that Cicero Stewart, who
has been sheriff for four years, is
defeated by one of his deputies,
James Christopher. John Emcr-
son was defeated for tax assessor,
and so it goes. The majority of
the nominees are new mcn who
have not been in politics before.
The republican primaries met
on the Goth, and although we have
not heard of the results, it is ex-
pected that the democratic NOM

nouncing himself for r~c-cIcct'on'
Among the entire citizenship OF
Quay County Street probably
needs as little introduction as any
man in it. He has been here Tor
ten years and has four years OIL
that time been sheriff OF the coun-
ty. His record is clean, and there
&c not \ friend or an enemy who
will 20 on record as saying that nc
has not performed his official duty
without fear or prejudice and to
the best interests of the taxpayers
of QUAY County as he understood
it. Street has been identified with
every interest that has helped to
build Tucumcari, and his money
and his influence have always
been at the command of any enter
prise that he believed would in
any way advance the wcllbcing
of the town and county. The
people have the utmost conf
dencc in his integrity and believe
him trustworthy to a fault. To
a that he has made a good
sheriff is unnecessary, the people
know it. He has been prevailed
upon by the best citizenship OF
the town and county, irrespective
of party, to make the race for
reelection, but until the last few
days did not decide to do so.
He will go before the voters OF
the county on his official record
and will not be belaborcd in an cf-
fort to make the people under
stand what his policy is to be,
as it will be what it has always
been, law and order in Tucum-
carl and Quay County.
We don't know who the dem
ocrats will nominate, we have no
idea who will be the choice of
the republicans, but there are
many good men in both parties
who are proficient and trustwor-
thy, but this paper does not
hesitate to say that in our opin-
ion, aside from politics, which are
often a source Of more evil than
good in county affairs, Street
has few supcriors in this capa-
city.

bama talking and teaching. They sent ahead notice of their coming and the farmers throughout each section they visited gathered to hear their lectures and their instruction.
 One hundred and thirty students were enrolled in agriculture during the last session at Auburn. During the pase few months the course in agriculture has been revised and the time for instruction in practical subjects has been extended, so that in future each of the three subjects, agriculture, anil nal industry and Horticulture. will be taught throughout the senior year in- stead of alternating as heretofore stud ents express great satisfaction over the change, which tends to make this a more nearly professional course with out sacrificing the attainment of a general education that will fit the student for any walk in life.
 It Is believed that the increase in instruction and the extension of the experimental work contemplated will mark new era in the service that the agricultural and related departments will hereafter be able to render to the youth and to the farmer of the State, provided the legislature will appropri- ate funds with which to erect credi- table agricultural building.

 The bulletins of the Experiment Sta- tion are now being sent to about 15,- 900 addresses. and the mailing list Is growing at rapid rate. The latest bulletin printed summarized the re- suits of ten years experiments with corn. and bulletins on sweet potato diseases. on poultry diseases and on i oats will be sent out during August and September The fact that yields or from forty to sixty-two bushels of oats and of fifteen to twenty bushels of wheat were this year obtained on ordinarily sandy and gravelly upland soil shows the possibilities of scien- tific farming and of growing other crops in addition to cotton. Recently experiments have been begun in breed- ing up a more productive variety ot red rust-proof oats.

There is au interesting uilrGblished story of the discovery of Mir Fulker- son's whistiing talent.
 Last spring, not long after Senator Warner came to washington. 1t was observed by some one of the Missouri colony in washington that there were so many new members, and Republi. cans at that, that there should be a special meeting of ali Missourians at the national capital. In due time Car roll Hall was secured for the occasion, and one Saturday night all the Mis- sourians in washington were on hand to meet one another and become better acquainted.
 The program was arranged 50 that each one of the new Republican meEn- bers from the state should be called on for an impromptu talk. Finally it came Fuikerson,s turn to do something.
 So completely had the federal pie question and the greatness of old Ms souri been gone over by the previous speakers that some one Suggested that if nothing else could be said Fuikefson should just whistle. not dreaming that the request was made of one of the most expert whistlers in the country.
 MT. Futkerson complied and enter tained the Misscurians in fine style. That was the way Fulkerson's warbie was discovered. at least to Missouriane here.
