What can be done In the line of
larger fruit culture, in this section, Is
fully demonstrated by Thomas Ham
ilton, over on Williams river In Moi
fat county across the Rio Blanco
county line). Mr.. Hamilton has an
apple orchard which In addition to
furnishing his own family with all
the fruit needed, will turn of $4OO or
$500 worth Of apples and crabs for

has given his orchard care and atten.
tion, and, since coming into bearing
few years ago, 1t has never failed
to produce q good supply of fruit. This

primary election.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported the following as an expression
Of what the people of the county
want and do not want, viz:
1.-THE Democrats Of Rio Blanco
county, in assembly convened, de-
clare their continued allegiance to
the National Democracy, and heartily
endorse the nomination Of Wilson
and Marshall and their approval Of
the national platform adopted at
Baltimore.
I'VE recognize In Hon. f. M.
Ammons the logical candidate Of the
Colorado Democracy for the govern
orship. His close Identification with
the stock growing and agricultural
interests OF the state, his liberal and
progressive views on the live political
Issues Of the day ard his splendid
record as public official commend
bin to the favorable consideration
OF the voters Of the entire state, and
particularly of the western slope.
1.-The delegation from this county

ernor. Colonel Montgomery's rec
ognized ability as presiding officer.
his lifelong devotion to the party In
the state and nation eminently quail
tfy him for the position.
1--WE commend to the voters Of the
Ninth Judicial district the splendid
records made by Hon. John T.
Shumate and Hon. J. @. Gentry as
Judge and district attorney, and
heartily recommend their. renomina-
ti0n and reelection.
mo representative In congress has
worked harder and accomplished
more in the interests of the west
than has Hon. Ed. 4. Taylor and we
endorse his denomination rs con-
gresham at large from this state.
I'VE commend to the voters Of this
county their earnest support Of the
proposed law known as the ''Good
Roads Bill" providing for the crea-
tiOn of the Highway commission and
transferring all road funds to said
commission. We also recommend
the approval by the voters of Senate
Bill No. 2l9, providing for the trans
fer of the brand records Of the state
from the office Of Secretary OF State
to the Stock Inspection Board.
1--WE denounce and urge the re-
lection Of Senate Bill $50, making
the state treasurer the custodian Of
all funds belonging to the several
state boards and institutions. We
also denounce and urge the rejection
as extravagant and unnecessary the
proposed Mofiat tunnel bill, the pro-
posed $lO,OOO,OOO bond issue for road
construction; the Pueblo State Fair
bill and all similar measures which
would enormously increase the In
debtedness of the state with no
corresponding benefits"
The resolutions as read were
adopted without dissenting vote,
and there was added thereto an
amendment which endorses the
candidacy of Hon. G. 8. Thomas for
U. 8. senator for the short term.
A number of the G. o. p. were
present at this first assembly Of del
egstes under the new primary law,
and declared themselves as free to
admit that ''steam roller methods
were not resorted to In the making Of
any of the nominations. This, Of
itself, argues well tor the success OF
the party next fall.

START LEGAL TEST OF
RIGHT TO OYSTER BEDS

Atlantic City, July S-Legal battle
over the real ownership of oyster
beds in the Mullica river is being
waged here today, when Magistrate
Joshua Jagmetty will pass on the
rival claims of Arnold and Earl
Cramer. of New Gretna, and Edward
A. Weber, of Atlantic City, both
sides claiming title to the valuable
underwater ground.
The charge made by Weber, which
has brought the matter into court,
Is that the Cramers pulled up, stakes
which he had placed around his oys-
ter beds, leaving him without means
to locate his oysters.
The Cramers assert, however, that
the beds claimed by Weber were
leased to them by the Burlington
county board of oyster commission
ers, and the contention may lead to
state orders to redistrtct the oyster
planting grounds located in the Null
lica river between Burlington and
Atlantic counties.
The Cramers also Insist on their
to use the disputed beds, be-
cause OF the fact that the ground has
been used by their forefathers for
more than a century and that the
state has no present right to change
the leasehold.

TICKET IN
THE FIELD HERE
Roosevelt Men Plan to Put
Up Great Campaign.
tF,om the NEWS Correspondent

tF>om the NEWS CorTespondent)
Trenton, July S:-Discussing the
third party movement today, Elijah
C. Hutchinson, Of this city, former
State Senator and former State
Road Commissioner, declared that
the Roosevelt followers of this state
would put a full ticket in the field.
Mr.. Hutchinson vas the Roosevelt
alternate to the Chicago convention
from the Fourth Congressional dis
trict comprising Mercer, Hunterdan
and Somerset counties. Mr.. Hutch
inson said that the Roosevelt men
would place legislative tickets in all
counties not only for the purpose of
winning seats in the legislature, but
also to secure control of the Repub-
lican State convention which will
meet in this city the Tuesday fol-
lowing the primary election. This
state convention will choose the
presidential electors, and will be
composed of the so candidates for
the assembly, the candidate for the
senate in the six counties in which
senators are to be chosen, and the
holdover Republican senators. For
mer Senator Hutchinson pointed out
that if the Roosevelt party, dupli-
eating it's victory at the presidential
primary in this state, could win a
majority of the legislative candi-
dates at the primary in September it
would control the state convention
and would nominate Roosevelt
presidential ELECTORS. This would
bring about the curious political
situation of the Taft Republicans,
although they have the regular tick
ct, being compelled to nominate
their electors by petition, in the
same form as the Prohitionists,
>Mr.~Hutchinson referred to the
fact that Roosevelt electors have
he stated that the movement to Sc
cure Presidential electoral tickets
favorable to the Colonel would be
made general in all the states. This
plan, he declared, had been decided
upon following the announcement
by Colonel Roosevelt that he pro-
posed to stay in the race for the
presidential election.
Assemblyman John e. Gill. Of
this city, who was a Roosevelt dele
eate to the Chicago convention, will
seek reelection to the assemblyon
the Roosevelt ticket. Last year he
was elected as a Regular and was
very active in the assembly, partic-
ularly in the fight owe the school
laws. Mr.. Gill declares unequivoc-
ally that he proposed to continne to
support Colonel Roosevelt, and. he
will go before the people at the Sep
TENDER primary on a Roosevelt plat
form.

draw yesterday afternoon and last

motorcycle kept the motorists in line

Burke and Acting Mayor Ferd Garrett
son were at the ferry hill looking over

Jag Is the latest. Recently tour
lists have been refused passage on
the little fruit steamers which carry
the supply OF early strawberries
across the channel from Plougastel.
The ship owners say that the fumes
given OF by large quantities OF the
berries are quite as overpowerine as

WILSON HAS +
HARD PROBLEM
Is Still Undecided About Sc
lection of Chairman.

Sea Gfrt. N. j., July S.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson has about maze up
his mind not to go to Chicago for the
national committee meeting Aug. 10.
Instead he plans at this time TO nave
Robert II. Hudspeth, Democratic ma
tional committeeman of New Jersey, go
as his personal representative. DE VIII
20 with power to deliver ultimatums,
ukases or any other form OF ORDERS
which will bring about action along
lines desired by the Democratic nom1-
nee and new leader Of the party. o
ernor Wilson himself made this an
nouncement. He gave as his reason
that he had learned 1t was not the Gus
tom of nominees to attend such meet
ings.
1t was apparent from the governors
talk hat he Is going to stick as closely
as he can to New Jersey and the gov
ernor's Job this summer. He does not
want to lay himself open to the charge
of absenteeism. He may not go out
side the state until after he has re-
signed. which will be just about thirty
DAYS before the next election, when the
Democrats can put up another man.
Tho nominee is considerably embar-
raised over the choosing Of he man
who Is to lead the organized hosts for
him this fall. Personally he would
like to have William f. McCombs or
william G.. McAdoo, but he Is disposed
to defer to the national committee. The
governors embarrassment arises from
the fact that all the experienced polid-
clans whom the governor has consulted
have told him that the chairman this
fall must not only be a good national
organiser and executive, but he must
have had experience.
A. Mitchell Palmer OF Pennsylvania
is handicapped for the position because
he will run for congress again this fall
In the Stroudsburg district of Penrsyl-
yania. Besides Mr.. Palmer has pledged
himself to carry Pennsylvania for VIII
son this year, which will be a job to
keep him too busy to attend to the
campaign. As 1t stands now undouot'
edly Mr.. McCombs has the inside track.
Mr.. McAdoo is slated for the treasurer
ship of the finance committee.
