OATS FROM ESCApOSA
ARE SIX FEET
TALL

Cal Hyder, one of the oldest set
tiers Of Escabosa, on the ManZano
mountains, lays claim to raising the
tallest oats ever raised in New Mex
leo.
Mr.. Hyder came to the city Sun
day to buy supplies and brought
with him a sample of his field. This
sample consists of probably twenty
stalks and the tallest one is as tall
as the tallest man on The Citizens
news staff-six feet to the fraction
of an inch.
Mr.. Hyder says that he had some
friends in the city who doubted him
some time past when he claimed to
have oats five feet tall.

some of that Missouri You got to

Hyder to the reporter. II found

of the field so / didn't have to

acre and a half of them. They grew

The sample brought to the city by
Mr.. Hyder on Sunday will be seen at

torial fair next week.

IMMIGRATION TO RAPPAHANNOCK
VALLEY.
Fredericksburg Free Lance

The Maryland, Delaware and Virginia
Railway Co. has decided to enter upon
a campaign for the promotion of immi-
grafton to the Rappahannock Valley
section of Virginia. The idea of the
company is to build up the trucking in
terest of that section, and thus increase
the freight business of the company,
while at the same time the prosperity
of that community will be greatly in
creased. This fertile section of Vir-
ginia has not been as well advertised as
some other sections, the natural advan-
tages of which do not compare with it,
for the reason that it is more or less
inaccessible. 1t is claimed, neverthe-
less, that AS a trucking section the
lower Rappahannock Valley is fully
equal to the section around Norfolk,
where the earliest truck for Northern
shipment is grown in this State. The
cooperation of the counties near the
mouth of the river will be enlisted, and
no doubt public-spirited men will be
found who will aid in the movement.
We wish and predict success for the
enterprise, and have little doubt that
twill make a vast improvement in that
already prosperous section.

GOVERNOR KEEPS ON THE GO.
irimes-Dispatch of ism.


Governor Swanson left Yesterday af
ternoon for the jamestown Exposition,
where today he will participate in
Richmond Day proceedings. His Elk
cellency observed his usual office hours,
and received many callers, and disposed
of much routine official business. He
will return here tomorrow night, and
with Mrs Swanson, will leave on Tues
day for Chincoteague Island, where he
will attend a meeting of the State
Board of Fisheries, and witness the
annual "round up" of the Chincoteague
ponies.
The Governor wishes to gain all
possible information concerning the
needs of the fish and oyster industries
of the State, with view to incorpor-
ating whatever recommendation NAV
be deemed needful in his message to
the new General Assembly. His Excel
lency and Mrs. Swanson will join the
Board of Fisheries on the State steamer
Commodore Maury" at Old Point
Comfort Tuesday morning, and the
party will take lunch at the Wacha-
preague Hotel, which is only about ten
miles from Chincoteague. 1t is proba-
bic that the Governors party will cruise
on the Bay for several days after the
visit to Chincoteague.

and the petitioners-nine in number
failed to make out their cases. He
promised careful consideration where
the slightest merit appeared in any of
the appeals, but he had to turn several
of them down without further examina-
ton, for they were not based upon
sound reason for executive inter-
ference.
1t is coincidence that without any
previous understanding it should have
happened that so many women appealed
to the Governor in single day for ex-
ecutive clemency, but the Governor
kept his usual poise, and was not swept
off his feet.

tain-he can never be President. nor
can any man win the office if il

such that the Democracy will con-
tinue to beat the sir in vain so long
as MIR. Bryan holds the sceptre of

party success which he blocks. We
all have right to our opinions-he
to pose as leader and we to think il
