SELECTING CORN.

Select the type of ears that indicate the
largest possible yield consistent with safe
maturity and type characteristic. The ex-
hibitor should study type characteristics
and undertake to select the entire number
of ears required for each entry of a uni
form character that indicates the strongest
breed or type. 1t is unfortunate to have
even a single ear showing mixture. The
out cross may be earlier or later than the
revert or degenerate toward a mongrel.
Do not get the idea that 'show" corn
is different from the corn that ought to
go into the planter boxes.
The National Corn exposition judges will
be selected from the different states and
will be guided by the score card standard
that prevails in your respective state. 1t
is suggested that you write your state ex-
pertinent station and ask for a copy Of the
score card which explains the standard in
detail. The judge from each state will
attempt to place the award upon the tpye
of corn that will give the largest yield,
consistent with safe maturity in your res
pective state.
While it is important to have ears Of
corn showing straight rows, and tips and
butts filled out in a strong uniform way.

of kernel and size of cob determines the

A CHANGE is NEEDED.

In voting for delegate to con-
gress party affiliations must not
be considered in the coming cleo
ton, for all intelligent voters
owe to both self and territory a
ballot which will result in the
best work being done for the
territory. This can be done in
no better way than by voting for
Ralph Cameron. Take for the
moment that Mark Smith Is an
honest, conscientious man; what
has he done for the citizens of
Arizona? How long has it taken
him to accomplish nothing? Let
him be the most honest and con-
scientious man in christendom-

even to the tune Of $50, 900 in sal

than conscientiouSness and hon
esty, and Ralph Cameron has
both these and the necessary ad
ditioual qualities to do things and
do them in the way that the
voters of Arizona want them
done. Furthermore, he is going
to be given a trial. When his one
term is out if he has not accom-
plished ten times the amount for
the interest Of the territory that
Mr.. Smith has in his almost
quarter>of century, we will be
first to cry down and out with
him. But the voters know that
he will be found up to full !

REPUBLICAN TICKET.

announced that rising vote

delegates, together with all
spectators, arose to their feet,
thereby proclaiming Mr.. POLKA

Mr.. Polhamus is a native Of

i. W. ALEXANDER.

There is no need OF an intro
duction to the people when
speaking Of l.. w. Alexander,
the man chosen by the republi-
cans to land the treasurer's office
at the coming election; but there
are many newcomers in these
parts and to them we wish to
make a few personal and peril
nent remarks as to this gentle
man and give a bit of his history
that can be traced up if anyone
so desires.
Louis w. Alexander was born
in jacksonville, Santa Cruz coun-
ty, California. In his earlier
boyhood he engaged in mercan-
tile life with his brother il Low
er Lake, CAL; made a success
there, but wanted larger fields,
and so came south. Then Isaac
Levy, in searching for an accu-
rate and honest accountant, saw
the young man, employed him
and brought him to Yuma, where
for five years he was the trusted
accountant and confidential man
of the old and popular firm of
Levy & Co. He then returned
to California, going into business
at Redondo. \ year later an
opening was presented at the
King Of Arizona mines and leav-
ing his business at Redondo in
charge of a manager, Mr.. Alex
ander returned to Yuma county
and associated himself at the
King with the late Hon. M. j.
Nugent. In the management of
this business he had a lone hand,
Mr.. Nugent being in Yuma al
most all the time. Here he was
successful and stayed four and a
half years. Then he and Henry
Levy Levy formed partnership
at Yuma under firm name and
style of L. w. Alexander & Co.
the same as it is today.
In 1896 Mr.. Alexander pro-
posed the nomination of Charles
II. Reese for county treasurer
and it was largely to his careful
campaigning that that gentleman
was elected.
In October, 1896, he was mar
ried to Miss Juana Martinez and
with her has raised a family of
three boys and two girls, and
has made happy home continu-
ously in the county seat since
that date.
Mr.. Alexander is prominently
identified with & number of the
fraternal orders of the town and
and has been repeatedly honored
by them, filling the executive
chair in all of them.
When the trouble with Spain
broke out be was connected with
Co. II, National Guard, and held
the commission of first lieuten-
ant in that body, his commission
being signed by Gov. McCord.
All his life be has been an
active republican, always taking
lively interest in the councils
of his party, but never asking
for an office that carried salary
with it. At present he is serv-
ing the second term as council
man of the city of Yuma, and
takes a lively interest in the
municipal affairs, devoting much
time to the meetings of the
council and TO other work. If
elected county treasurer he will
bring the same untiring energy
and experience into the affairs
Of that Office. His business abil-
ity and honesty have never been
questioned and the county's coin
and accounts could not be placed
in safer hands.

The legislative ticket chosen
by the Yuma County Republican
Nominating Convention, consist
ing of Donald Mcintyre for the
Council and Louis B. Carr for
the Assembly, will reflect credit
upon Arizona's law-makiug body.
Both gentlemen are expert
enced in the positions to which
they aspire, Mr.. Mcintyre hav,
ing been a member Of the Twenty
third Legislative Assembly,
where as Councilman he acGuit-
ted himself with credit, winning
the esteem of his colleagues and
retaining the respect and conf
dence of his constituents. Mr.
Carr is an ex-memher Of the Col
orado law making body, having
been thus honored by cautious
business men because of his at
tainments and sincerity of pur-
pose, being a man who never
wavers when vested with reSpon-
sibilities that affect the public
veal. Messrs Mcintyre and
Carr are gentlemen of in telli-
gence, integrity and business ex-
perience, combining the essen
tials necessary to common sense.
Yuma county should honor
herself by sending to the Twenty
fourth Legislative Assembly
these two gentlemen.

UP THE RIVER IN VAIN.
Cargo of Asphalt Switched From
Washington to New York.

The big Norwegian tramp steamship
Parran came up the river yesterday and
dropped anchor off Alexandria with q
cargo of asphalt aboard which was sup
posed to be consigned to local paving
firm. This morning she weighed anchor
again and started down the river, on her
way to New York with her cargo. without
coming TO this city. 1t is said that con-
f1icting orders have caused the vessel to
travel up the river unnecessarily. When
the Parran sailed from Port Of Spain her
masters orders were to bring the cargo
here. Thursday last, after the steamship
had come in the capes. taken pilot
aboard and was in the Potomac. her
agents at New York employed the tug
Camilla to go down the river. meet the
vessel and give it's master orders to turn
around and proceed to New York. Capt.
Davis of the Camilla executed his mis-
sion and delivered the orders to the ship
about fifty miles down the river. Her
master however, did not understand the
change; so he came on to Alexandra.
where he could get in communication with
his agents, and he was ordered to go to
New York. He is now on his way down
the river, bound for that port.

SUSPENSION RESCINDED.
Correspondents Under Charges Re-
admitted to the Press Galleries.

The standing committee of correspond
ents entitled to admission to the Capitol
press galleries yesterday afternoon held
its final meeting of investigation into the
charges made against two members of the
gallery by Representative Lilley of Con-
necticut. After the meeting a report was
promulgated generating the two men in
question.
In it's report the committee says that
these two newspaper men were suspend
cd from press gallery privileges because
they had been quoted in newspapers as
admitting that they had performed GER
tain publicity work" for the local
attorney of the Electric Boat Company
iilley failed to Sustain the charge" and
adds: He offered no evidence to sustain
1t. The committees experience with Mr.
Lilley was quite unsatisfactory. The or
der of suspension was rescinded.
The committee says that the two cor
respondents accepted money from the at
torney of the Electric Boat Company
during the recess of Congress, for writ
ing and distributing articles pertaining
to submarine boats. and for personal
services mot in the line of their regular
newspaper connections. The opinion is
expressed by the committee that If these
services had been performed while Con.
gress was in session. the two accused
newspaper Eien would be liable to eX-
clusion from the press galleries.
The committee then takes up an allega-
ton of Mr.. Lilley IN regard to another
newspaper correspondent. who was men.
toned by Mr.. Lilley as having beer
passed along to him in gossip as an
employee of the Electric Boat Company
MIR. I.illey withdrew his allegations re.
garding this correspondent. and in mis-
oral statement to the committee en-
pressed much regret for the error into
which he had been led by his unnamed
informant.
