El Paso Leading spud County.

Eastern FL Paso county jumps to
the front this year as one OF the
leading potato producing counties of
the state. For years Peyton, Cal
han, Ramah, Mattison have supplied
seed to the irrigated potato counties.
in the market with potatoes for gen.
eral distribution. The acreage is
practically the same as In 1910, but
the yield will be greater Early po-
tatoes will be marketed within the
next ten days. There has been plent,
of moisture in the ground and the
crops are looking fine, considering
the amount under cultivation.
Eastern FL Paso county is a dry
farming region heretofore overlooked.
or rather its settlement has been
delayed by the stockmen who held
the ranges In a firm grip. but the
coming OF the international Dry
Farming Congress to Colorado
Springs next October is attracting
attention to the possibilities of the
land.

1t was then too late to intercept
the special car.
Plans for the raid we're made
with greatest secrecy. Nothing was
known Of the arrival Of the county 20
lice officers In East st. Louis until
the deputies burst in the door lead
Ing to the rooms over the saloon
OF Mcintyre & johnson, where the
game was said to be In progress.
Every one Of the raiders was
armed with a revolver. Despite
the protests Of the arrested ones.
that the officers had no jurisdiction,
they were hustled into the private
car which stood near the saloon.
The raid is thought to have been
inspired by the Grand Jury.
The action of the st. Clair County
Sheriff in ordering the raid is with
out precedent in Southern Illinois.
1t has always been the custom for
the local police force to carry out
the orders of the Grand Jury.
1t was predicted by East ST. Lou
isians last night that considerable
trouble would develop between the
two peace forces.
Those who were captured in the
raid denied they were playing cards
for money.
