practical farmers, will lead to no
other conclusion than values of
land as they stand now, notwith-
standing their extraordinary adj
vance within the last two years,
are dirt cheap as compared with
! prices of land in Illinois, Iowa or
the Dakotas, for illustration.
A few years ago, when Browns,
vile was practically inaccessible,
lands of surprising richness were
available at a dollar or two an acre.
Much of this land now, according
to location, is valued at from $40
to $40 per acre. Lands elsewhere,
in many localities that I might
mention throughout the union, at
from 81 to s. per acrs would be
excessively dear in comparison
with lands in the lower Rio Grande
valley at say 500 per acre, if we
estimate the value of the land from
its poducing capacity. What has
been accomplished BY newcomers
IN the past two years in the lower
Rio Grande valley in the matter
of producing staple crops, citrus
fruit, tropical and sub-tropica1
vegetation of every character, is
most remarkable. This entire sec
ton of country for the first time is
now assuming an appearance of
commercial activity, but the sur
face has not been much more than
scratched yet.
There are hundreds of thousands
of acres of the finest land under
the sun, already referred to,
around Brownsville and nearby
territory which within a year or
two at most, will double in value,
four-ffths of which is not yet sale.
From purely commercial stand
point the value of land per acre
which will net the following results
must naturally be of a correspond
ing character. For illustration,
Piper Bros, within two miles of
Brownsville, realized this year
S5O4 net on a single car of cabbage.
The weight of the car was "a, 900
pounds, and several acres exceeded
that amount i'll production. P. E.
Blalack, who is operating a farm
of thirteen hundred acres three
miles from Brownsville, made
s235 net profit from one fifth of an
acre of cauIIfower. At this rate a
single acre would have yielded
profit of S1175. ". R. Landrum
Of Olmito made $3.50 clear profit
from FIVE eighths of ar acre of
lettuce. George Hffoman figures
his net returns on carrots at $500
per acre. Chas. Lindsy of
Brownsville made a net profit of
500 from one eighth of an acre Of
But these are merely a
few instances of many.
Cotton yields from a bale to a
bale and half to the acre in this
country. Planting takes place in
he early part of February and
proceeds the the latter part
If June or early July. Corn yields
rom forty to sixty bushels to the /,
Icre, with two ciops per yea.
sugar cane produces from forty to
ixty tons TO the acre. Alfalfa

BUILDING IS SLOW.
Although MastsI Builders Say That
 Stike k About Over.

Although there is not much said these days about the strike of the bricklayers and masons, still the battle is on and the strikers seem to think they are gaining ground every day, notwithstanding the statements of the master builders, who assert they are having no trouble getting men to do their work. A number of bricklayers arrived in town yester- day, but they did not reach the place to which they intended going. They had not proceeded along Bank street far when they were spotted by one of the strikers and when he informed them of the situation in this city they decided to follow him instead of ac- cepting the positions of the strikers.
 Any stranger in town would not realize that a strike was on in Wa terbury, if he were to judge from what he sees on the street. The only evidence of the strike is the slow ness with which many of the build- ings are progressing. There are a couple of school buildings to be fin ished before the opening of next term, but if the jobs are to be com pleted on time the contractors will have to do some hustling in the meantime. Very little progress has been made on the Duggan school and the strikers claim that the arch at the Webster school will have to be pulled down, notwithstanding the fact that 1t is supposed to be all right.

HIS POUCH TAKEN AWAY
Letter Canier T0mlinson Suspended
 For q Day at Least.

Whether 1t was heat prostrntion or from other causes, is not generally known, but in any case Charles H. Tomlinson, for the past fifteen or six teen years, very popular and eff ficient employe of Uncle Sam, stag gered under the weight of his mail pouch on East Main street this morn ing, and to all appearances with T view to Tightening his burden, he dropped some of the contents of the wallet here and there on the side walk. Some one telephoned to the postoffice and a few minutes later Assistant Postmaster John. T. Boy Ian was seen hustling after the car rier. He caught up with him in the neighborhood of Spring street and promptly delivered him of his burden and propelled 1t back to the office where it was turned over to someone better able to wrestle with 1t. The letters dropped on the way were pick ed up and replaced in the bag. Mir Tomlinson took the whole thing in good natured way and obeyed the request of his superior officer to take q. day of without murmur. Tomlinson is well liked in the office and has always been considered one of the best carriers connected with the local postoff1ce. Just what action will be taken in the matter will de pend largely on what recommenda- tion will be submitted to the authori. ties by Postmaster Guernsey.

WHAT'S IN WHITE B0oKi
English Publication Which Talks
 About Battleship Dreadnought.


 Washington, July 25.-The publi- cation of the White Book in London giving some information concerning the main features of the large Eng fish battleship, the Dreadnought, has caused some discussion among naval officers, but the facts made public were already known by the officers interested in naval architecture. There is no great enthusiasm among many of the naval officers in regard to the construction of ship which will equal the Dreadnought as sea fighter. It is pointed out that the United States now has under con- struction two ships. the Michigan and South Carolina, which are equal to the Dreadnought in broadside battle. These two ships can fire eight 12- inch guns on either side and that is all that can be done by the Dread nought. The latter, however, could fire six 12-inch guns dead ahead, whereas the Michigan and South Carolina could fire but four. It is pointed out, however. that very little | fighting is done head-on and that the | effective fighting of battleship is her broadside. Another difference be- tween the latest types of the Ameri- can and English battleships is that in broadside action all of the 12-inch guns of the American ships can be utilized while two of the 12-inch guns of the English ship must be in I active. The advantages of the Eng fish ship is in greater speed, but sht has a disadvantage in a larger tar get surface. Naval officers generally seem to think that there is very little difference in the effectiveness of thu Dreadnought and the Michigan ant South Carolina.

HAD TO Be KILLED.

DR.. A. T. Bowman was called to
Waynesburg yesterday to examine a
mule which had been bitten by dog
several weeks ago. On examination
the animal was found to be afflicted
with a fully developed case of rabies
and was killed. Two others which had
been bitten by the mule were locked
up and will be kept under observance
to ascertain if they will develop the
disease.
Attorney John Whitaker of this
city who is connected with the Waynes-
burg Fire Proofing company, to whom
the animals belong, said that the mule
Fad been bitten by dog about three
weeks ago. The dog had the run O.
the town for several days before It
was finally captured and killed. 1t IS

was done. The cur is said to answer
the description of the one that bit
three other dogs in this city several
weeks ago which developed rabies
and had to be Killed Luckily it did
not bite anyone in Waynesburg. A
number of other animals are believed
to have been bitten and a sharp look
out is being kept for them.
