1t is announced from Cleveland that
William J. Bryan will make his running
for the presidency under the personal di-
rcction OF Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of that
city, who is said to cmbody those quail
ties that made the late Senator Hanna
such a power in the world of politics.
James w. Wadsworth, former Republi-
can Congressman from New York, who as
chairman of the House committee IN ag-
riculturc claShed with President ROoSe-
welt on the meat inspection bill. came out
in an interview bitterly assailing the
President, calling him a "humbug and a
fakir."
Justin S. Morrill, Of Vermont, who died
in 1898, held the record, still unbroken.
for length of continuous service in Con-
gress. although Senator Allison is running
it very close. Mr.. Morrill, was twelve
years in the lower house, going directly
to the Senate, where he remained for
thirty-two years. Mr.. Allison has served
eight years in the House and Thirty-four
in the Senate, but there is a break of
two years in his record.
To the Washington correspondents the
President confided the definite statement
that he would favor Secretary Taft for
the next presidential nomination and that
he would so arrange affairs that Taft
might take the stump in Ohio his sum
mer.
BY a vote of % TO ; the Florida Sen
ate adopted a resolution declaring the
14th and 10th amendments to the ma
ticnal constitution void, and to disfran-
chise the negro in that State. 1t was
certain that the House would follow suit
and hat the whole matter would come
before the Supreme Court.
Senator Foraker went to a great deal
of trouble and at his own expense in
gathering evidence in connection with the
brownsville raid. It transpired during
the debate that he had sent g detective
to the scene to mako inquiries, and that
for this purpose he had selected a col
ored man named Ferguson.

sides the crews. They had already land
ed a few days before upon Il sandy point
which they named Cape Henry, after the
then Prince of Wales. Captain John
Smith, destined to play an important
role in our colonial history, was at this
time in irons on board the Constant as
a result of discussions which had arisen
while the little fleet delayed in the West
indies. On entering the James they
hoped they had found a water way
which, in accordance with their instruc-
tons, they were seeking-that would af-
ford them an entrance into the south sea.
Thirty miles upstream above Newport
News and on the northerly side of the
river the explorers came upon a PENN

quarter wide at it's greatest width. 1t
extended in a southeasterly direction and
at its northeastern end it was joined to
the mainland by a narrow isthmus. The
river is here three miles in width.
What was then a peninsula is now an
island. the river having cut a channel
through the narrow isthmus. which at
present is about Il quarter of a mile wide
and is spanned by a bridge. 1t is in
c~ommemoration Of the settlement of this

ESTANCIANS BEhT
MCINTOSH BROWNS
By Score Of 8 to 7 take Game from the
Duke City Team

The Estancia Baseball team is busy
this week receiving the congratulations
of every fan in the valley, over the re-
suit of the game of last Sunday with
the Mcintosh Browns of Albuquerque,
in which the local boys carried off the
honors to the tune of to 7. The
Browns were on their way to Roswell,
and stopped off here on Saturday night
to take some of the pride and conceit
out of the Estancia boys, who haven't
lost game this season. But the way
they took the fall was something un-
pleasant for the Browns. Some of the
admirers of the Browns are telling
that they intended just giving an inter
esting game, and then winding up by
carrying off the score. But even if
that was their intention, they didn't do
it by jugful. 1t was an interesting
game no doubt, the result being a glad
surprise to the friends of the Estancia
boys. Our boys are all working fel-
lows. who have practically no time
whatever for practice, and while we
have some excellent material, no one
expected them to do anything with a
semi-professional team. But they did,
so there.
Tarr and Terry, the managers of the
local team have secured lease from
Col. w. S. Hopewell, general manager
of the New Mexico Fuel & Iron Co.,
for the grounds used as baseball park
for this season. Our boys have ac-
Quilted themselves nicely so far and
the people of Estancia and vicinity
should encourage them and boost for
them all they can. This will be another
way of boosting and advertising the
valley. Messrs. Goldsmith & Canter,
proprietors of the Leader, presented
Mr.. Tarr a nice box of cigars for hav-
ing made a three-base hit during the
last game. G. H. VanStone made the
boys handsome cash present for
their splendid work on last Sunday.

While in town last week, Frank Di-
bert, assistant treasurer of the New
Mexico Fuel G. Iron Company, called
yur attention to the gIass now growing
in the park here in town. Two years
ago, the company had the ground,
which had previously been broked and
allowed to become we'll rotten, worked
into good condition and sowed a!quan-
tity of English Blue Grass, (Festuca
elatior) sown. On account of the
drought, it was thought that the seed
had failed to germinate and the park
was let to other parties to cultivate
other crops. Just before the cultiva-
tion was begun however, DR.. Norris
noticed some of the grass growing. and
it was decided to allow it chance.
About ten acres was left as an expert
ment, most of which is now covered
with a fair stand of the grass. There
are spots, where nothing has appeared,
but there is easily two thirds of
stand. The Towering stems easily
measure ten inches in height, and at
present Mr.. Ammon Dibert is pastur-
ing twelve head of Jersey milk cows
on the ten acres.
This showing of tame grass in the
valley is we'll worth the trouble and
expense, as the amount Of feed to be
derived therefrom is several times
what could have been expected from
the same acreage in native grass, be-
sides being much better feed.

BIu6 Grass in th6 VdII6y Was it a BIund6buSS?

Jess Averill has a gun which must be
a regular old-time blunderbuss, if the
oath Of a sheepherder counts for any,
thing. On last Saturday night, about
ten O'Clock he was arrested for shoot
ing sheep, at the ranch home of Mr..
Mckinley, where Jess was visiting at
the time. The sheep in question be-
longed to Ross Garcia of Torreon, Jess
being taken there, where he was held
until Monday morning for a hearing
before the Justice of the Peace.
During the hearing, it developed that
the shot in question was fired from the
direction in which Jess Averill and
Bailey Mckinley were, the bullet pass
ing entirely through the body of one
sheep and into leg of another Grip
pling it. She herder testified that the
sheep was distance of 800 yards from
where the boys were, and that the
wound it the sleeps leg was quite
large, so large in fact that he could
easily put his first finger into the
wound. Mr.. Mckinley swore that he
had measured the distance and that it
was more than 500 yards. Jess and
Bailey testified that they were practic-
ing with a small 22 calibre rife. Now

500 yards, through the body of sheep,

should be preserved and allowed to lie
dormant until they produce secono
growth of timber. They point to the
present value of the splendid timber
lands, and argue that the greatest good
to the community will come from al
lowing these logged-off lands to go
into reserve which will in time
again become valuable for logging.
The Snohomish County people say
mo" They maintain that such a pol
icy would mean that large tracts OF
their lands would be unproductive of
any income for years to come, and
that this hardship upon the community
would be endured for many years
with the sole object in view of grow
ing raore timber, which, when it did
reach second growth sufficient to
make it worth logging and milling
would only produce few hundred dol
lars to the acre. In the meantime
they claim that their lands, when de-
nuded of stumps and other obstruc-
tons to horticulture, are among the
richest lands in the West. Their val
ley lands will produce more oats to
the acre than any other lands in any
other state in the Union, and their
uplands are splendid fruit lands, which
will produce upwards of $3.50 an acre
per annum.
The people of Everett, for instance,
say: 1--WE would rather have one thou
sand acres of our rich valley and up
lands under intelligent cultivation, di-
rectly tributary to the city, than to
add another lumber mill with big
payroll to our industrial institutions.
