BIG PUMPING PLANT.
Will lnigate One Hundred and Twenty
Thousand Acres Of Brownsville
Country Land.

Chester B. Davis, chief engineer
of the American Rio Grande Irri-
CATION Company, the big syndicate
of which B. F. Yoakum is head,
was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Davis left last night for St. Louis,
where he will purchase machinery
for the first pumping station on the
12O, OO0-acre farm. This plant will
be of 12OO-horse-power and will
furnish a supply of water adequate
to irrigate 10000 acres. 1t will be
located fifty miles up the Rio
Grande from Brownsville.
The machinery will be installed
this summer and work of lrrlgat-
ing the lands will be commenced
early IN the fall.
Mr.. Davis says the owners OF the
land are making an effort to have
5000 acres of land cleared and in
shape to be planted in sugar cane
by the beginning of the planting
season this fall. This will be fol-
lowed by other fields each season
until the entire 10000 acres are
under irrigation and cultivation.
The establishment of other irri-
CATION plants will follow the first
one as the land is placed in shape
to be used.
The power to be employed in the
pumping plants will be electricity.
The power-house will be on the
railroad seven miles from the river,
where tue pumps are to be placed
! The energy will be transmitted by
cables. Fuel oil will be used in the
| furnaces in the generation of cleo
tricity. The plant to be built will
be in all respects modern, and It's
capacity will have few equals II
the Southwest.
Mr.. Davis does not claim to be
all expert in the matter of agricul'
tural lands, but says he never saw
anything that looks so promising
to him as the lands of the Rio
! Grande delta whele his company
is preparing to make improvements
There is enough of this good II
rigable land in the Lower RlC
Grande country to support an I'M
mense population, said Mr.. Da
Wis, and the population is stead
ilv moving to that land The pro
duction of sugar cane there Is t.

Fine Alfalfa.

THE HERALD was sent a sample
of alfalfa today by Walter Mcneil,
of the Santa Maria Irrigation Co.,
which is its own argument, and
proves conclusively that this sec
ton is the home of this succulent
forage plant. The plant in ques-
ton is only two months old and
has attained a growth of eighteen
inches, with a tap root fourteen
inches long
Still the evidence piles up that
the Lower Rio Grande valley IS
the real American Valley of the
Nile, whose productiveness has
scarcely a limit. From eight to ten
cuttings of alfalfa per year IS the
rule in this section, and ready sale
can be found at $40 per ton. The
WELD is from a ton to a ton and a
half to the acre, and no man with
any kind Of a head for figures
would have any trouble in figuring
out the profits from this crop, ever
if he made a mistake or two. Aside
from its wonderful growth anC
productiyeness alfalfa is recogniz-
| ed as one of the best forage crop.

News.

Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 20.-All indica-
lions in advance Of the republican
state convention next Wednesday are
that the reform progressive element
will be in contcol and that Attorney
General Norris Brown will be nomi-
mated for United States senator. Brown
leads by more than two to one over his
principal competitor, Edward Rosewa-
ter, and has 1GD more instructed votes
i'm the convention than all the other
senatorial candidates combined. Over
800 delegates, however, are uninstruct-
ed, and Brown must get about l40 OIL
these votes to win Senator Willard Is
certain to be defeated for reelection.
The prospects as to the governorship
favor George T.. Sheldon. In a field OF
eight candidates he has more instructed
votes than all others combined, but
here again uninstructed delegates VIII
decide who shall be the nominee.
Many republicans who favor resolu-
tions complimenting Governor Cum
MINIS of Iowa, doubt the propriety OF
presenting one In view of the fact that
1t might be construed as an indorse-
ment for president, where there has
been no announcement of his candi-
dacy.
The platform already submitted for
the conventions approval, however, in
dorses measures advocated by Cum
Minis, including direct primary and
law to do away with railroad passes.

Khaki Is a summer favorite, espe.
cially for the tailored or semitailored
effects, and these come in ready mades

For morning wear there are smart

these show In most instances the mar.

The sun ray frock, instead of losing,
seems to have gained prestige with its

newest design, which means gathered

He SCDRNS illinois
Bryan Gives 1t Out He Does Not
Want Endorsement OF
Sucker Democracy
PART OF SULLIVAN FIGHT
Proposes to Punish the Party of the
State for Standing by Roger sulIi-
van With Whom Bryan Has Con-
troversy-An Interesting Situation
Miscellaneous News.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 20.-William Jen-
nings Bryan has directed that any In
dorsement of himself by the democrat
ic state convention of Illinois, which
meets here Tuesday, be rejected by
his friends. This is the declaration OF
Judge Owen p Thompson. of Jackson
Vile, who arrived late last night IN
company with Congressman Henry L.
Rainey. The judge has letter from
Mr.. Bryan, which he will have read
before the convention. 1t suggests that
the probable presidential candidate
does not wish the Endorsement OF amy
state so lost to shame as to permit
Roger C. Sullivan to control it's politir
cal affairs. democratica.lly speaking,
and asks that his friends fight any at
tempt at Endorsement on the floor Of
the gathering Of the faithful.
1t is admitted by Judge Thompson,
however, that Mr.. Sullivan may have
enough votes to enable him to disre-
gard the wishes and commands of the
Nebraskan, and 1t even is limited that
there may be an Endorsement Of Bryan
at the hands of Mr.. Sullivan, whether
the prospective candidate desires it or
not
Sullivan will control the convention
by a handsome majority. Any resolu-
tions of censure directed against his
acts as national committeeman will be
voted down with such ease and celer-
ity that the opposition to him will be
without force on the floor.
OF the 1859 delegates entitled to
credentials and seats in the coliseum,
more than 1900 are on record as agree
ing to oppose any action tending to
6iscredit him or any resolution con-
demning his past, present or future.
Since the issuance Of the now Ia
nous Bryan epistle to the more or
less faithful democracy Of Illinois, Mr..
sullivan has busted himself with the
work Of ascertaining just where ne
stands and where ard when he gets
OF.
Sullivan and his adherents have COM
m,micated directly or indirectly with
every delegation bound in this direction
and last night the name Of every dele
gate was checked of and memoir
andum was made showing just what
he will do in the event of the introduc-
ton of an anti-Sullivan resolution.
Where doubt exists in the minds OF
the Sullivanites the benefit is given
the opposition. II there Is any reliance
to be placed in the declarations of the
ma jority of the men who are supposed
to know and If the records are true
Roger Sullivan has very easy sailing
SO far as the ability to prevent official
fault finding with himself is con-
cerned.

NEW BUFFALO RANGE.
The wichita Forest and Game Pre-
serve In Oklahoma.

The wichita Forest and Game Pre-.
serve In Oklahoma.
There Is something about the buffalo
which appeals strongly to the Ameri-
cans patriotism and makes him well
come the latest step in the effort to
preserve it from extinction. Twelve Of
the buffalo<.s from the New York Zoo
logical park and several more from
other herds In captivity will be placed
In big buffalo range in the Wichita
forest and game preserve in Oklahoma.
Twelve square miles OF prairie, forest
and mountain, watered by winding
creek and having good pasture Of mes
quite and blue stemmed grass. will be
fenced of for the use Of the herd.
Natura1iists expect big things from
this buffalo range, for, while the buffalo
herd at the Bronx park has thrived, the
close confinement necessary there
makes permanent breeding problem
atical 1t is largely through the efforts
of the director, William T. Hornaday,
that congress was led to make an ap-
preparation Of $4,000 to fence off the
Oklahoma range and maintain the herd.
The nucleus Of the herd will be selected
from that now at Bronx park, but to
prevent too much inbreeding animals
from other herds will be taken to Wich-
ita as well. About twenty buffaloes
will be placed on the range. On this
continent at the present time there are
said to be only eighteen wild buffaloes
eight In Alberta and ten in the yell
lowstone National park.
1t is expected that the work Of fenc-
ing of the range-it will take fourteen
miles Of fence to inclose the space-will
begin al. once III order that the buffa-
loes may be shipped in the fall. That
is the best time to transport them with
safety. 1t is not thought that the cattle.
will suffer from lack of shelter, as the
range was at one time wintering
place for the herds which roamed the
plains and hills Of the far west. Great
buffalo wallows may still be seen there,
while skulls and skeletons bear silent
witness to the relentless warfare which
Indian and white hunters made on the
animals. To the northeast the range is
completely surrounded by hills and
mountains, which will protect the cattle
from the severity of storms.
