SOMETHING ABOUT THE
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES

\ neat little folder. issued by the
Business Mems club. has the follow
ing interesting statistics regarding the
agricultural possibilities of this see
ton:
This valley land is rs productive as
any i'm the country and produces the
very finest fruit. grapes, melons, be4-
ries and garden vegetables, and also
grows Ia perfection kafhr corn, milo
maize. sorghum. field corn. wheat. W
oats, barley flax buckwheat and mill
let. also sugar beets n stock bcets
potatoes. etc.
Alfalfa is one of the most profitable
and ncver-failing crops. producing five
cuttings each year and yielding at
least $50 net per acre per year.
A~lamogordo produces finer fruit than
almost any other section, and as
growth continues through the So
called winter months. the trees VIII
begin to yield eighteen months after
planting, and In three years each acre
Of fruit trees will give a net income
of at least $3.50 a year.
Apples. peaches, pears. plums.
prunos. ounces, cherries, tigs grapes,
etc. bear wonderful crops and find an
immediate market at top prices.
The demand for garden vegetables
Is always In excess of the supply.
The ranches and farms in the noun
tains are just az productive as the
valley. the only difference being that
no irrigation Is required In the oun
tains and he growing season H.
shorter. but the ksoil and climate Of
the mountains Is preferred by some.

SOLD COAL BRICKS.
Claim Made That They Are Gold Brick
as Well.

PHILADELPHIA, August 7.-Wiliam
p. Taggart. formerly of Reading, Pa has
been arrested here and charged with OBJ
tanning $1,000 through Misrepresentation
In the promotion of a coal manufacturing
company. which. IT is claimed. controls a
secret process for making coal block
cites" out Of culm and other refuse from
anthracite coal mines.
Taggart says he is the president and
general manager of the United States
Coal Manufacturing Company, a concern
alleged to be Incorporated under the laws
Of the District of Columbia His arrest
was brought about by a warrant sworn
to by Oliver X. Wismer of this city, who
alleges that Taggart represented that he
had obtained control of the company and
that he was negotiating with New York
syndicate which desired to take over the
company for 500, 200. and that subse-
quently the syndicate reduced its offer to
S75,000,000 which Taggart refused to &C
cept
Wismer became suspicious. which re-
suited in Taggart's arrest The prisoner
was given a hearing and held In $4,000
bail
Taggart is said to have sold more than
$4,000 worth of shares of the company
to persons in this city and other parts Of
eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

"Spasm Of Morality"
The carnival attracted unusual notice in
England this year from the occurrence of
one of those 'spasms Of morality" of
which Macaulay speaks so scornfuIIy, and
which threatened at one time to condemn
Lady Godiva to a closed carriage in the
procession. The suggestion was made as
compromise that she might ride through
the city in true Godiva style If the people
of the city would be true to tradition and
all stay indoors with blinds drawn.
But that did not meet with approval.
Finally, 1t was arranged that Lady Godiva
should wear an officially approved Co.'S
tune, and pictures of her attired in IL,
that have recently appeared in London
papers, are an assurance that not a blush
was brought to the cheek of a young
person by today's commemoration.

were found to contain boron preventative.
In July samples Of as many Of these same
fourteen brands as the department could
find on sale were again submitted to

BOYCOTT ON RAILROADS.
Ohio Shippers Wrathy at obstinacy Of
Steam Lines

COLUMBUS. Ohio, August 7.-Nineteer
railroads of Ohio have defied the rules laid
down by the Ohio railway commission. and
shippers are planning to boycott them.
The Baltimore and Ohio, the Big Four
the Erie, the Wheeling and Lake Erie. the
Norfolk and Western and q number Of the
other larger systems are laying themselves
liable, In the opinion of the railroad COM
mission, to fines which In the aggregate
may amount to more than the enormous
penalty assessed against the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana. and unless these roads
put into effect Immediately rules laid down
by the commission, action will be brought
against them soon.
The shippers who may bring the action
say the commission holds that the penalties
may be assessed for failure by the nineteen
roads to abide In interstate business by the
new car service rules In effect August /.
Each offense, II the roads are proved guilty
could be punished with a fine Of $1,000,
which would make the aggregate run into
millions.
A circular Is now being prepared and
every shipper in the state Of Ohio, large or
small. asking him to send instructions with
each order not to route even as much as a
box of tacks by any Of the roads which
have defed. the commission.
The Dig storm Is expected September 1.
when the railroads attempt to collect de-
murrage on the old basis.
Railroads Of Ohio and the shippers have
until the present year "gentlemen's agree
ment' concerning car service and demur-
rage. The railroads refused to make GER
tain concessions asked by the shippers when
the time of renewal came and the latter
made complaint to the railroad commits
sion,
All the railroads of the state have put
the new rules into effect on business orig.
mating in the state of Ohio. But in inter-
state business nineteen Of the roads refused
to do so, while nineteen others put them
into effect on all business. both intrastate
and interstate.
The action Of the nineteen roads which
refused amounts, in effect some shippers
estimate. to putting it into effect on only
one-fourth of the business they handle in
carload lots.
Feeling against the railroads is highest
on the borders of the state, among the big
shippers, and particularly In all the furnace
regions where so much coal and ore and
other materials are shipped in from other
points. The railroads assert that over in
terstate business the state railroad commits
sion has no authority.

DREXEL MAKES DENIAL
NO ROW ABOARD HIS YACHT, HE
ALPHABETICALLY SAYS.

PHILADELPHIA, August with the
arrival Of the Alcedo, the pleasure yacht OF
George W. Childs Drexel, came tales OF q
suddenly Interrupted pleasure trip, In which
Mr.. and Mrs. Drexel, DR.. John s. Sharp OF
Bryn Mawr and other weN-known persons
were the figures.
Loouacious sailormen limited that the
quarter decks had echoed with Quarrelings,
and that the party broke up abruptly IN
Yokohama, Japan. The guests came home
by steamer, and the yacht was brought
back by the crew.
It was while in the Pacific waters that
the big row, which is said to have been only
one Of series, took place.
All of these stories OF chickering's and
hints at a serious clash were later denied
by Mr. Drexel, DR.. Sharp and other mem
bers Of the party. While it was admitted
| that the yachting cruise came to sudden
end in Yokohama. 1t was declared that this
was all part of the prearranged program.
Many Ports Visited.
When the Alcedo left here June 81, 1906,
there was on board Mr.. and Mrs. Drexel,
DR.. John s. Sharp, a friend Of the family.
who was listed as ships surgeon; Miss
Laura Harris OF Bryn Mawr, protege Of
Mrs. Drexel, and Livingston Biddle,
nephew Of the Drexels.
The yacht touched at Lisbon, Cadiz, Tan
gier, Gibraltar, Island Of Crete, Jaffin, Port
Said. Jedda. various points on the African
coast, and later steamed to the Indian ports
While the party was touring the Indian
coast Miss Harris became Ill, and was
later, brought home by friends summoned
to care for her.
May 81 the yachting party ended alb
ruptly, and the parties came home by the
most direct routes Mr.. and Mrs. Drexel
went Immediately to their summer home In
Maine. Mr.. Drexel came to this city Mon
day.
When Mr.. Childs Drexel was seen yes
terday he seemed to regard the reported
chickering's as a huge joke.
Denies Having Any Trouble.
at is all false and all absurd he said.
There Is not thing that would give the
slightest excuse for the rumor that there
were any domestic troubles in our party
or anv quarrel either abroad on the yacht,
or here.
1.-THE trip was made exactly as scheduled.
With the exception of Miss Harris, we all
came home on the Pacific mail steamer
together. and our party did not break up
until we reached Chicago.
Mrs. Drexel and myself and Mr.. Biddle
went directly to our summer home in
Ilesboro. Me, and DR.. Sharp returned to
his duties at Bryn Mawr
II assume this whole story of a quarrel
is utterly ridiculous. We returned as we
started, a perfectly happy family, and we
had a most enjoyable trip"
Dr. John 8. Sharp was even more en-
phatic in adding his denial.
The rumors transpired soon after the
yacht reached Christian street wharf They
were not stamped with the seal Of author
ity. but gained currency after the crew got
ashore. They were not long in reaching the
