Close finishes were the order on the
last day of the Grand Circuit meeting
at Hudson River Driving park this
afternoon. The 2:14 trot in the first
heat developed the most sensational
finish of the week. Aloma led handily
to 100 feet of the wire, when Geers,
who was back of Loyal, made one of
his old time drives and fairly lietfd
the horse under the wire, winning the
heat in 2:10 IA, which was a quarter

LOSING MONEY IN RED RIVER
VALLEY,

jamestown Capital: Harry Corn
wall returned home today from his
trip to Canada and to the northern
part of the state. He says harvest
is not yet we'll underway in Mani
toba and that a good many harvest
hands from eastern Canada are COM
ing into Winnipeg, many of whom
are expecting to remain in that part
of the country. There is little heard
in the city of Winnipeg regarding
the big strike on the c. P. R. On
the return trip several stops were
made in the Red river valley, and
inquiry Supt. Cornwall, an old grain
buyer, learned that many of the
quarter sections in Pembina, Walsh,
Grand Forks, and Trail counties,
and in fact throughout the Red riv-
er valley were losing investments to
their owners on account of the weeds
that have over-run the country. The
wild oats, mustard, king head,
shepard's purse and other weeds,
have become such drawback to
profitable farming that many farmers
are at a loss to know what to do
with them. Flowing in the fall and
sowing to winter rye, which grows
rapidly in the spring and chokes out
weeds, is one plan that'is being used,
and blowing in the spring, planting
corn in check rows and cultivating
the soil as is done in Illinois and
Indiana is another way Of cleaning
the land of weeds and not losing the
use of the land for one year.

HE FIRST MATERIAL
 FOR CITY WATFRWORkS
Active Operations to Begin Within a Short time.

Engineer Roy Mccormick arrived here yesterday with the first consign-
 ment of material for drilling the test wells for the new city water works l for Mesa. MT. Mccormick is one of 1 the comparatively few men who has met with success fin digging extremely deep wells in the Salt River valley. because of the difficulty encountered in penetrating the boulder-like form iations which generally lies from sev- enty-five feet and from this on to
 greater depths from the surface
 The wells are to be sixteen inches in diameter, and in this instance, with the exception of those now being sunk at Sacaton will have the largest diameter lof any drilled wells in the United States. Three wagon loads of material arrived here yesterday afternoon. This first consignment includes hydraulic
 jacks, immense drive heads, pipe, heavy drilling bits, and other machinery such as is employed in well drilling.
 One of the large drilling machines,
 such as is being used at Sacaton, is
 expected to arrive here within a few
 days, and active operations will then
 be commenced as soon as the ma chinery can be set up.
 With the digging of such large wells, the question of the supplying the city
 with an ample water supply is assured.

SECOND CROP OF PEACHES

An evidence of the prolific produc- ton of the fruits of the Salt River valley is shown in the instance of some peach trees planted in the ranch be- longing to Jesse Hill south of town. MT. Hill has an orchard in which there are about fifty peach trees, these being ing on an early variety have aIi borne what would be considered the regular crop of the season, and would right fully be termed such in any other place excepting the Salt River valley. The adage that, "It takes the exception to prove the rule" has been verified in
 the case of MT. Hilrs trees. When the first crop of fruit-was well under way the branches began to put forth, blos- soms and the fruit from these is now ripening and will soon be ready to pick. The first crop matured and was dis Dosed of several days ago.
 This, however, is not the only in stance in which second crops have ap
 peared on decidious fruit trees, which
 in the colder countries never produce more than one crop during the season.
 One of the fruit trees which deviates from the rule perhaps more than any other is that of the Red Astraghan ap- pie, which was first introduced into Mesa by the Mormons, being brought here from Salt Lake City, and where Fit was ne"er known to produce more than the enc crop per season. After having been transplanted to the fertile soil of the valley here, has been an almost continuous producer, often hay ing as many as three distinct crops of apples in a single season.

NO CUSTOM BUSINESS.

Conditions at the Douglas smetlers remain practically as they have been for several months past, both are running and reducing the ore, from their own mines at Bisbee, but neither is getting enough custom business to mention.
 The output of the Copper Queen smelter was about eight million pounds for the month of July, as |against eight and a half millions for the same month in 1907. These figures apply only to the Copper Queen ore, for a year ago the com pany had built up a large custom business, while at present little or nothing is left of that business. Superintendent Lee says that the output from the company ore for 1908 will be little, if any, less than in 1907 in bullion, though much less ore will have been reduced owing to the fact that when copper was high a lower grade of ore was being reduced not a little coming from the Bisbee slag heap which with copper at the then prevailing prices produced a good profit.
