NEyADA'S NEW GOVERNOR

NEW governor o. Nevada has an opportunity that seldom comes to a
man O. his yeasi serving over two years o. al unexpired guo@natorai
term. His opportunity is exceptional, in tina 10 I'M to TIT position
through legal succession md not through h Vaccinations OF ponucs
which ofdmes blind a man hand an foot and makes shin practically helpless IN
,he once 70 which he is elected. Governor Dickerson is responsible to nj N out
10 his God and to his conscience and we believe that in his administration, he Will
not prove recreant to either.
..Don'' Dickerson is spoken Of a a young man al If hat were some

JUS OF his years Mr.. Dickerson is not a particularly Young man In years
for he h g. lust when a man should be rejoicing in thu full possession Of ms
powers and faculties. In experience he is Tar from a young man. for NJ las

Some adverse comment has been made that the governor, N MS state
ment of his policy, made through the press Immediately upon assuming his once,
wasn not more direct inc explicit, as defining his position o various questions u

begged his unpreparedness as a reason for not Keeling of n hlydigested Pre-
gramme. 1t is also to his credit that he announced that n would follow iaitn-
fully the policy o. his predecessor, until. It least it became clear to him M

BARTLETT GOES TO FRONT

= T rs RARE that a first termer in congress makes any impression on legislation

qessman Bartlett from this state, by force of ability M characte has
broken through the traditional barriers AM hasp put himself in evidence and made
his influence felt.
This is especially noticeable in the effort to secure the passage through the
lower nous of a bill creating a bureau Of mines. This measure was strongly op
posed in certain quarters and for a time the proposition had hard shedding.
Bartlett had a bill, and a dozen other bills werei introduced with the hope # all

held a conference among the friends Of the measure and got up a compromise BILL

Mad Dog Killed.

Between seven and eight O'Clock
this morning there was no little ex-
element created in the western end
of town by the appearance on the
streets of a mad dog. This dog
was seen swapping at other dogs
on the streets and also trying to
bite horses and cattle in subur-
ban settlement of Mexicans which
attracted quite crowd of the in
habitants of that part of the town.
Finally some one in the crowd
went after a pistol and ended the
dogs life by putting a bullet
through its head.
Fortunately no one was bitten
by this rabid dog. 1t would be a
good idea for people to keep their
CANNES closely at home during the
coming hot days.
And that reminds one that there
is dog ordinance ornamenting the
city statute books which should be
enforced.

TRUCK GROWERS LESSON.

The Brownsville country car
produce the truck all right and Is
doing so right along, but dishon-
est commission merchants in some
cities to which the crops have
been shipped to market have given
SOME of the growers more trouble
than any number of insect pests
might have given them. The
zettuce growers in this section in
particular have cause for complaint
against this species of pest.
Some of the finest lettuce ever
seen was raised i'll this vicinity
and especially around the enter
7risine little town of Olmito, but
owing TO the dishonesty of the
commission men to whom some OF
this truck was shipped, a great
part of it brought 10 returns
whatever. 1t was not only fine,
choice, crisp lettuce, bnt there
were large quantities of it, which,
before it was shipped, was ap-
praised at a value of several hum
dred dollars per acre. This fact IS
7tfested by all who saw the let
zace. And yet, some of the
growers received no returns what
ever They did not even attempt
70 ship any more of the crop,
after the first few carloads had
gone to market. There is no
doubt in the minds of the shippers
that they have been buncoed.
There is no better truck land
anywhere than that on which this
very lettuce was grown. 1t is
some of the richest and finest al
luVisl land that can be had in this
Eertile valley. And the crops
raised were undoubtedly the finest
and the yield simply enormous,
but the growers failed to make
connections with the right men to
market their crops
The growers will probably profit
by their unfortunate experience of
this spring, and use some concert
cd measures to market their
products to advantage. There is
much to be done in the truck bus
Eness, in order to make success
of it, besides raising the crops.
First comes skilful packing and
shipping, then the markets should
be studied carefully, and the pro-
ducts so timed as to reach the
market when the demand is best,
and then honest and reliable as
well as experienced men must be
secured to market them.

series of pipes from the tank that
was recently erected at the rear OF
the residence all over the grounds,
so that the lawns and the many
palms recently planted may be
continually supplied with water.
The railroad company is erect
ing a tank here which will serve
the railroad necessities, and at the
same time furnish the large San
Benito hotel and also the railroad
park with water. The park SO far
has been merely laid out and the
beds bordered with shells, nothing
! being planted yet, but Mr.. Hey
wood informs the correspondent
that the company is taking every
thing in its turn, and that the turn
of the park is about at hand. The
lawn will be watered, the gravel
walks cleaned up and a great many
pretty trees, plants and shrubs
planted.
Chief Engineer Sam Robertson
visited Brownsville Tuesday on
business.
Col. Haywood, who returned re-
Gently from Beaumont, where he
attended the netting of the San
Benito Land and Water company
stockholders, was accompanied,
by R. L. Bats, Esq, of Austlns
another prominent member of the
company, who also attended the
meeting at Beaumont. Both of
these gentlemen visited Browns
Vile the early part of this week.
Nothing is given out relative to
the meeting which was held at
Beaumont. It is understood to
have been merely regular meet
ing of the stock holders.
Col. Haywood is receiving con-
graduation since his return. upon
the two fine new oil gushers
brought in on the Haywood pro-
perties at Jennings, news of which
he received while at Beaumont.
One is flowing at the rate of $500
barrels per day and the other at
the rate of 4, 500 barrels
Mrs. Alba Haywood. who has
been for some weeks visiting re-
latives in Jennings, is expected
home tonight. It is understood
she will be accompanied by her
sister, Mrs. Molly Bridgeford, and
also by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
T. B. Broughton, who will spend
several months with Colonel and
Mrs. Haywood at their beautiful
home at San Benito.
In addition to her guests, Mrs.
Haywood is bringing several negro
servants, who will attend to the
various duties about the Haywood
mansion. They are said to be of
the good, old fashioned" kind.
Mrs. Haywood was nursed and
brought up by an old slave NAM
my who is still living in Missouri,
and whom she still remembers
most affectionately. (Who could |
help loving an old black NAM
my?") Col. Haywood says that
a month never passes without Mrs. |
Heywood's sending her old nanny |
$500, and that on receipt of the
monthly contribution, the old lady
always says: Lord you know
