orally were optimistic and all were look
ing for better times. regardless OF present
political or general business conditions
EXPRESSING his own views of the outlook
in the Southwest, Mr.. YoakUm said:
II feel very hopeful. and my opinion Is
lascd upon tho hundreds of thousands Of
new acres going under the plough. In one
days ride through the country, in three
counties l saw thirty-two traction ploughs
turning over three hundred and City acres
q oay-land that heretofore was never used
except for pasture Every acre IS of the
most fertile soil II is a conservative
statement to say that each acre Of the
land under cultivation will produce $50 Il
year. This same lard in the past when
used for pasture. required eight acres for
each head Of cattle. and it requires three
years TO develop a beef worth $40. There
fore. II is evident that in the three years
agricultural returns from the same land
will be $3.50. instead Of $40, as heretofore
He added that this was not a local con-
diticn, but was true of all tho Southwest
crn country.
Mr.. Yoakum returned North nv way Of

TUG SUNK IN COLLISION.
Pickwick Goes Down in Baltimore
Harbor After Being Struck.

While moving about Baltimore harbor
in thick fog Monday morning last the
tug Dazelline. belonging to coal COM
pany. and the tug Pickwick. one of the
fleet of the Maryland Dredging Com
pany. collided. The Pickwick was sunk
while the Dalzellne was but little in
jured The Pickwick was we'll known at
this city, having been several times en-
ployed as tender to dredges working on
the channels of the river.
According to the crews of the tugs the
fog was so dense that nothing could be
seen a boats length away, and when
the men in the pilOthouse of the coal
company tug made out the Pickwick
through the fog they were so close to-
gether that nothing could be done to
avert the accident. and the Dalzelline
struck the other boat about amidships,
cutting deep into the hull.
The crew of the Pickwick made an eff
fort to get their boat into shoal water
but she sank before this could be done.
AS the last man stepped off the sinking
tug to the DalZelline. she went to the
bottom in eighteen feet of water. The
owners of the Pickwick have employed
the Baltimore Wrecking Company to
raise the boat.
