Hold Drainage Conference.

Memphis, Tenn, May 15.-Dele-
gates from various parts of Te1nes-
see. Arkansas and Mississippi are TAX
ing part in drainage and good roads
conference in the assembly hall of the
Memphis Business Mems club this af-
ternOon- Congressman George w.
Gordon is the principal speaker of the
meeting. The subject of drainage is
a vital one il the southern states bor-
dering on the Mississippi, since there
are thousands of acres of land that
could be made highly productive by
this means. Already much work in
this direction has been accomplished
in the drainage districts of Arkansas
and Mississippi. These districts are
formed by action of the state legisla-
lures and each has it's own board of
trustees and officials. Some of these
have received aid from the federal
government, which has annuonced its
willingness to supply expert engineers
to survey the territory in proposed
drainage districts, in order that the
work may be carried out under au-
thoritatiye supervision.

LAMB CROP OVER
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.

Santa Fe New Mexican
Raising field peas for fattening sheep
and hogs for market is becoming an
important industry in the San Luis
Valley according to T. q. Witer who
returned last evening from his ranch
near Monte Vista, Colorado. He says
that the prospects are very encourag-
ing for the year in that locality. There
is an abundance of water which prac-
tically ilSureS full crops.
Mr.. Winter went to his ranch about
a month ago to be present during
the lambing season which is now over
in that locality. He is well satisfied
with mis- lamb crop which he says
amounted to 10 per cent. He mas
one thousand ewes. During the severe
snow stonm II April some of the
lambs died but not as many as he had
anticipated
Mr. Winter has had 800 acres of his
ranch planted in field peas on which
he will let his sheep run in the fall

of recovering his health. The famous
actor will be accompanied by his
wife and SON. They will go to London
for a short stay aid will tnen tour
the continent. DIR. Floyd Crandall,
Mr.. Mansfield's physician, has strong
ly advised the actor to cancel his en-
gagements for next season and take
a complete rest. That Mansfield does
not intend to accept this advice is evi

given Ben D. Stevens a check in full

LARGE COPPER FIND
IN CIMARRON CANON.

Cimarron News and Press.
One Of the most important miner
al discoveries ever made in New Mex
leo was that made by Peter Larsen in
the Cimarron canon about twenty
miles west of mere some few days ago
The point at which the discovery was
made is in small side canon about
a hundred feet from the right-of-way
of the st. Louis, Rocky Mountain &
Pacific railway. At a depth of only
five feet Mr.. Larsen discovered "a
large body of virgin copper that
runs ricn in the metal, and he is now
engaged in sinking on the ore to dis
cover its full volume.
That the find is an important one
cannot be doubted, for its proximity
to the railroad and its evident rich
ness render it easy of access for snip
ping purposes. Many prospectors have
visited the place and pronounce the
find one of the most promising in
New Mexico.

SALOON CLAUSE
lS nMOTlTllTlnl


Ell Paso, Tex. May 12.-Judge Cog
gin of the District court ruled today
that the section of this city's new
charter prohibiting saloon in certain
sections of the city is unconstitutional
for the reason that the charter ex-
ampts city property from the opera
ton of the prohfbitive clause and,
therefore, determinations against the
citizen in favor of the city Judge
Goggin also questioned the power of
the Legislature to create prohibition
districts by legislation
The new charter defined certain linn
its within the city where saloons can
be conducted and prohibits them out
side of those limits, but exempts Wash
ington Park, which is owned by the
city, from the operation of the prohi-
bition clause. The matter was ibro't
up on a test case.

New York, May ia portion of
the recommendations of Attorneys
Frank B. Kellogg and Charles Sever
a7ce to the Interstate Commerce
Commission concerning the Hartman
railroad investigation has been pub
lished here. They review the testimo-
nv and hold that railroad competi-
ton has been suppressed in an area
equal to one-third of the Ulited
States; that contracts between the
Union Pacific and Rock Island for
control of the Alton railway, as well
as contracts between the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific for control
of the Illinois Central and the San
Pedro road, are all violations of the
Sherman antitrust act. They recon-
mend that the Attorney General in
stitute proceedings to annul these
agreements; also recommend that
there should be new and effective
laws to prevent Initiation of securities,
and declare that the profits of the
great railroads of the far West are
being used to buy stocks and control
systems in the East, instead of bull
ding more roads for the development
OF the West, as they should be.
No Action by Government.
Washington, May 15.-The recon-
mendafions of Messrs Kellogg and
Severance in regard to the Hartman
railroads are not yet accepted and
confirmed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, so that they stand at

to the Commission, and not as a re-
port of the Commission itself. Com
missioners Harlan and Knapp of the

FARMERS UNION
OPPOSES IMMIGRATION,

Atlanta, Ca, May 15.-Resolutions
vigorously condemning immigration
were passed by the delegates to
state meeting of the Farmers union
in Atlanta today. The opposition of
the farmers organization is based
on the statements that a majority of
the European immigrants re unde
sirable citizens, and that great in
ffux of factory workme2 would drive
American laborers to the farms, thus
increasing the cotton crop to a point
of overproduction and resulting in a
lowering of the price.

PREJUDICE DEVELOPED
TaIesman Declares He Would Not
Accept the Unsupported Testimony
of Harry Orchard A Great Politi-
cal and Social Problem Involved in
the Case.

Boise. Idaho, May 15.-With ten
men in the box who have been pass
ed for cause by both prosecution and
defense the trial of Haywood was re
that not more than two or three OF
the jurors now in the box will be al
lowed to remain after the examina-
tion with privilege of peremptory
challenge is completed This means
that 1T will yet be some time before
the trial jury is completed.
The examination of talesmen il
the selection of the jury to try Hay
wood today developed the existence
of prejudice against Harry Orchard.
Under examination by the defense,
Samuel Wingate, after being passed
by the state, frankly said that he
was prejudiced against the uncorrob-
GRATED testimony of Orchard. Win
gate said he would absolutely refuse
to accept Orchards story. Judge
Wood sustained the states challenge,
and the defense took an exception
Later another talesman said he,
too, would be unable to give the tes-
timony of Orchard the same credence
he would give the testimony of 9TH
er witnesses The indication of this
feeling led the state to cover the
same point in subsequent examination
Of all talesmen.
