The amount of labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the
transplan ting time. One days team work in
preparing the land aud about 80 days, mems
time, were required to bring it through, al
though the work was not heavy and could
have been largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing to the desert and unfer
tilized character of the soil, onions requiring
large amounts of organic matter in the soil to
give good results. ~

TIE amount of labor required for the crop
itself was about 10 working days, with team
IL days. The sesbania used as green manur-
ing on the west half OF the potato ground was
given IL irrigationS. Bermuda grass, more
over, fioGrjshed beneath the SeSbania to such
an extent as subsequently TO require % days

Although the larger part of the crop came
from the Sesbania fertilized portion of the po-

proved very costly, q days mans time and 3
days teamwork being required to put the ses-

THE crops selected for the season. of 1906
were Earfy Rose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions. Rockyford cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes,
and alfalfa, besides a few hills of watermelonS
and sundry vegetables.
The produce was marketed in Yuma with
the exception of tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, were expressed to Tucson and
BiSbec The following statements for the
various crops are on The basis of net cash le-
turns TO the small farmer, who with an aver
age family of five and team Of horses is as
suned to do the work required. as explained
below. Items necesSitating cash outlay, as
seed, irrigating water, and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Water costs an average
of 50 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown. The yields in certain instances are
low, due to the unimproved condition of the
soil, which, like desert soils in general, was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also affected yields locally.

Senate Passes Blu Regarding
Federal lnjunctions.
PROTECTS RIGHTS or STATES
Senator Lee S. overman. OF North
Carolina, Author---Mr. Rayner to
Speak on States Rights.

Washington, April IS.--The senate
on Friday passed the Overman bill. as
amended by the judiciary committee,
regulating the practice of the issa
ance OF injunctions and their regula-
ton in the federal courts. No very
serious objection was voiced and the
measure went through with very lit
tie debate The bin had been unani-
nously reported from the Judiciary
committee.
This measure is important in its
bearing upon the preservation of the
rights reserved to states by the con-
stitution. the general character or
which will be the subject OF an i'm
portant speech by Senator Rayner In
the near future The Overman bill Is
the result OF trouble which the South
ern states have been having in re-
cent months with the federal Judiciary
over their attempt to make effective
certain state measures for the regu-
lation of railroads and their rates.
The vital feature of the substitute
which the judiciary committee re-
ported for the Overman bin and which
was passed by the senate Friday af-
ternoon is that no temporary or inter-
locutory injunction or restraining or
der or ecree suspending the enforce
ment, operation or execution OF any
by any circuit or district Judge OF the
federal Judiciary unless the applica-
ton for the same shall be presented
to circuit Judge and heard by three
judges. and majority of them shall
curcur before such an application can
be granted.

TWO BOLD ROBBERIES
SAME STORE ROBBED TWICE AT
CHERRY RUN.
Thieves Carry of $50 Worth OF
Goods in Two Hauls Within a
Week From Merchant.

Within the space of one week the
store of William f. Butts at Cherry
Run has twice been robbed, the value
of the stolen goods being about $160
Last Saturday night week age
thieves entered the store and carried
off lot of shoes. cigars. tobacco, etc.
No trace of the goods or thieves has
been found.
Last Friday robbers again visited
the store. gaining entrance thereto by
breaking out a panel of the front
door. Although people live on both
sides of the store building the rob-
bers succeeded in their work and
made good their escape without being
seen or heard.
They took about twenty pairs oil
shoes and lot of cigars and tobac
co. The amount of merchandise taken
was about the same in both cases and
the estimated value is about $160.
Mr. Butts and his family live nearly
two miles from the village of Cherry
Run, which, perhaps, accounts for the
too-frequent visitations of robbers

Misses Wellinger and Smurr. they
marched down by the west entrance
across the east entrance and up the
lawn singing as they marched. No
sooner vas the green and inviting
lawn reached than the rolliclsing and
frollicking began.
1t took some little time to get the
tots in proper place, but at length
they were arranged in squads and the
egg rolling began. With the count /,

ALDR|cH BILL TABLEDLIMITS JUDGES POWER
House Committee viii Not Con-
slider Senate Measure.
MAY REPORT vREELAND BILL
Then New Currency Law Would Be
Framed BY the Senate ana
House conferees.

Washington, April 1S.-The house
committee on banking and currency
Friday voted unanimously to table the
Aldrich financial bin. 1t was also de-
cfded to give hearing today to Rep
resentative vreeland, OF New York,
who recently introduced financial bin
which is looked upon as a substitute
dor the Aldrich measure.
The vreeland bin introduced In the
house last week as a substitute FOR
the Aldrich bill, which is to be con-
sfdered at republican caucus to be
held next week, was not considered at
Fridays meeting of the committee. II
was decided. however, to give hear
ing today to Representative vreeland.
The bill introduced on Thursday by
Chairman Fowler, providing for cur
rency commission, also will be con-
sidered at the meeting of the conn
mittee today. The COMMISSION idea
apparently has many friends in the
committee.
The tabling of the Aldrich bill prob
ably will result in currency legislation
being perfected by conferees OF the
two branches of congress II the house
carries out the probable program of
passing the Vreeland bill. In that
avopf tho hn,,cn 49,, ~,,,.<, xyr,,rxa novv,o
to the senate, after the enacting
clause world be struck out in the
senate and the provisions of the Aid
rich bill substituted. The effect would
be to put both the Vreeland and Aid
rich bills into conference, and from
them currency bin would probably
be agreed upon.
The Vreeland bin is not hostile in
character to the form of legislation
provided by the bin which was pass
ed by the senate, and therefore, the
action of the house committee ON
banking and currency, in the event its
course is followed by a favorable re-
port ON the Vreeland bin as a substi-
tute, does not indicate that there win
be no currency legislation at this ses-
sion Of congress, as the house prob
ably will pass that measure.
Representative Vreeland, in drafting
the bin, made provision for the use
of commercial paper and all other Sc.
curities held by national banks under
the national bank acts. He eliminat-
ed amendments which were tackled on
the Aldrfch bin while under consider
alton in the senate, including the pro-
vision by Senator Johnston requiring
national banks to keep three-fourths
OF the reserves in their own vaults,
and the amendment by Senator LaFol-
lette prohibiting the 1oaning of money
by any bank to a corporation the or
ficers o" directors of which are Of
ficers or directors of the corporation
seeking the loan. It is expected that
the senate conference will make a
strong fight for the retention of the
Johnston reserve feature, but there is
little prospect for the adoption OF the
La Toilette amendment

sHEPHERDsToWN LETTER.

Shepherdstown, April 20, 1908.
Mr.. Editor:
After spending quiet day at my
comfortable and historic home near
town on Easter Sunday, it occurred to
me that AN outing would quiet my
nerves from the excessive use of to-
bacco. SO started in my buggy all
alone for the historic old town Of
Shepherdstown-it being the Oldest
town in the state, and doubt il there
is a town with more history cannect
ed with it than Shepherdstown in the
whole country. My first stop was
Shepherdstown and after driving
through the different streets viewing
the ancient buildings that have stood
there for many decades, stopped n
the home where first saw the light
of this glorious country, now occupied
by an eminent divine, Rev. DR.. Charles
Gheisln. After leaving the town in
company with young gentleman, my
first thought was drive over the Ia
nous Shepherd grade, that is surpass-
ed by none in the country and has
ever stood lasting monument to its
founder, the former owner Of the ia
nous wild Goose" estate, Henry
Shepherd, sr., now owned by his son.
In. d. Shepherd (R D. Mclean. After
ticking I'M the suburbs I saw standing
on a prominent eminence to the left
OF the grade large residence all at
tractive and handsome building under
construction. Upon inquiry I earned
that it was owned by Mr.. H. l..
Potts, one of our enterprising citizens.
There stood by number OF out
buildings under construction, with it's
beautiful veranda facing the famous
Blue Ridge, that Thomas jefferson
within a stones throw of the enchant-
ing and placid scenery of the old Po-
tomac, where James Rumsey accom-
phshed for the world steam naviga-
ton, snd within a gun shot of the in
ventor's success in the propelling Of
steam, you can also see the monu
ments of the ever-rememberef. An
tietam battle, where Lee and McClel-
Ian made such a sacrifice of American
patriotism 1t is also in view of the
dam, at the ford where such havoc
was played with the Philadelphia Corn
exchange, composed of the best men
of the ity.
This magnificent building, with all
of its conveniences and modern inn
provements, will be surpassed by none
in the county. The contractor or this
elegant residence is Mr. Westenhaver,
of Martinsburg, we'll known contrac-
tor who has recently contracted for
the erection of the large and expen-
sive Young Mems Christian associa-
ton building at Martinsburg. The
brick work was done by Mr.. Hunter
Grim, whose work cannot be surpass-
ed in the county, he having built the
handsome State Normal school builc-
ing here, with number of other fine
buildings.
Mr.. Potts being a gentleman pos
sessed of abundant means to make
this improvement is TO be congratulate
ed for selecting such country, con-
nected with such historical associa-
lions. Mr.. Potts engineered the Shen-
andoah Valley bridge that spans the
Potomac at this pace, that is to be
removed by the Norfolk and Western
for "a new bridge under way or con-
struction at present. Shepherdstown
is also to be congratulated in having
srch an enterprising citizen. S.
