|; is impossible to get an accurate lineup on the proposed number of acres to be Sown to cantaloupes this coming season. Although the time for
 planting is from the first to the tenth
 of next month there has been no evi- cul canvass "f the district moi long since has led to the opinion that fully
 150 acres will be cultivated.
 While there are q few things which have been offered as to the reasons that the acreage has been cut down one half for this section yet none of them can he advanced as the proper one. IL appears to be q case of losing interst. Of course it is a well known fact that the last two years the mar llets have been unsatisfactory on ac- count Of coming in such direct cOmpe- tition with the large growers of Cal ifornia. This of course has meant low CT prices and low prices naturally lead t1 discouragement for the grower.
 Is one of the important features for this season is that the prices will in all probability be better than for the past several years. This comes about primarily on account of the very small acreage planted this season. California has dropped in acreage by a great per cent and the Las Cruces association in the vicinity of Fl Paso has practi- cally withdrawn from the field Re-
 ports are very meager as to the Rocky Ford acreage. probably because it is
 little early yet for the growers of hat f, i,,l- af planting The crop there is not in
 competition with this section and could cut no figure with the local prices. While the small acreage throughout the heretofore important districts is the principal reason for prophecying a good price yet sec- ondary reason is on account of the shortage of tite fruit crop. The past winter has been a destructive one to fruit and a great many sections where cantaloupes grow and do not grow. The cantaloupe is substitute for fruit. which within itself is a reason
 for an advance in prices

As long as they remain quiet they are not mnlested by the current and they in turn dn not modest it but when they start to rise their large wings spread out and reach from one wire to the other causing short circuit.

BANK KNOWS WHERE ITS
MISSING CLERK NOW IS

New York, July 27.-Counsel for Err
win Wider, who has been formally
charged by officials of the Russo-Chin-
ese bank with stealing $4,000 worth Of
bonds, admitted Saturday that he
knows where his client Is and intimat-
ed that Wider n the bank are now in
touch.
The bonds have not been negotiated,
although it IS strongly limited that they
have been hypothetical with various
Wall street brokers. Neither has the
case been reported to the police, and
Wider's lawyer hopes that if the bonds
can be restored to the bank there will
be no prosecution.
Under the rule of the stock exchange,
II a broker accepts collateral from q
client who does not own it, and If the
client loses or his speculation, the
broker must restore the collateral to
the rightful owner and accept the
clients losses or forfeit his right to do
business on the exchange. So that
there is much curiosity as to the iden-
lity of the brokerage house with which
| Wider traded and as to what measures
Of responsibility 1t will be forced to
assume, either by the courts or by the
stock exchange. Wider's lawyer prom
.sed to make a statement and 1t ID
possible that names may come out
then.

Maura, leader Of the conservative
party, who, as premier, put down the
Barcelona riots and brought about the
execution Of DR.. Francesca Ferrera a

that the former prime minister stepped
from a train at the Francia station,
where he arrived from Madrid enroute
to Palma. AT his side was his cousin.
Suddenly from the crowd the man,
Manuel Posa, fired three shots. The
first bullet pierced Senior Maura's arm
and the second found Judgment in hta
leg. AS Posa fired again the woman
gprang upon him, spelling his aim, and
the bullet went wide.
Posa, who Is but Is years old, said

Maura, but desired only to make q
demonstration against him. The
DUN are not regarded as serious.
