II seems to me that the question of

date to represent the Republican par

important matter that has or will
probably confront the party for
some years TO come.
While the First Congressional dis
trict Is beyond question largely Re-

OLD PLANTS ADVER-

lIIrom Thursdays DailyO

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. There has recently been d consid- erable amount of advertising by the press and otherwise of two beans for which highly eXtravagant claims are made, and for the seed of which eXorbitant prices are being asked. One of these Is being advertised under the name of the Shahon pea, with the absurd claim that on three and one-half acres this plant pro duced seventy tons of hay and three hundred and fifty bushels of seed.
 The Shahon pea is nothing moro nor less than the plant properly known as the asparagus bean or yard-long bean. IL is a close rela- tive of the cowpea-in fact, by most botanists considered d mere variety. In experimental tests with upwards of twenty varieties of asparagus bean, this department reached the conclusion that none of them coulI

GUN PLATOON IN
 SPECIFIED BY OFFICERS.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Expressing themselves astonished and pleased at the splendid show ing the local machine gun platoon made at inspection, Captain Tenn pie and Lieutenant LeGarde last night praised the thirty-hve mem bers of the company who passed inspection. The officers in brief addresses to the boys, rated the To- cal company as being the most in telligent and the finest material in the State
 The visit was no doubt a revela- ton to the officers. Less than three weeks ago the company was launched and today it is already rated in drill ability upon a par with other companies in the State The thirty-hve members are all enthu- siastic and the stamp of genuine approval placed upon the company by the inspecting officers last night will unquestionably go a long way toward assuring the permanency of the organization.
 Captain Temple came here for the purpose of inspecting the equipment. Lieutenant Le Garde represented the war department and personally drilled the company.
 After the inspection. Lieutenant Lowry, commander of the local company, together with the com pany's two other officers, and Dr. C. E. Yount, waited upon the Cham Der of Commerce in connection with the future maintenance of the com pany Lieutenant Lowry told of the company's status from a hnan- cial viewpoint Members of the chamber were enthusiastic and plans were advanced whereby the request of the company could be complied with.
 R. \. Fredericks made a motion that the matter be referred to the committee with the provi- sion that citizens be interviewed with the idea of securing sufficient during the next year to support the company in a fit ting manner.

The trio for several months have been working on the grade of the Santa Fe line and were somewhat enthusiastic over the sue cess of their cause in recent com bats.
 Perez when asked why he re- entered the service, when his old commander was on the opposite side, stated that the situation in Mexico was like a mushroom, 1t was liable to change its hue in a night, and he was ready to meet any emcr- gency that might arise He closed by saying: "I would rather shoul- der q gun i'll the south during the winter than take chances of freez- ing in the north in handling a pick and shovel" He stated that other Mexicans were to pass through dur ing the next ten days, all to enlist under Carranza.

NOT YET READY ID PRESENT
 PETITIONS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE COMMITTEE FAILS TO APPEAR BEFORE THE SUPERVISORS

Contrary to announcement, the pc
 titions calling upon the board oi supervisors to call a special election for a new courthouse election were not submitted to that body Tues day morning. Inquiry at campaign headquarters revealed the fact that the required number of names had not been secured but that the peti- tions would positively be submit ted to the county fathers at the semi-monthy December meeting.
 Unaware of this change in pro gram, the members of the board sat in session Tuesday afternoon awaiting the committed Word was received at about 4:30 o'clock tell ing of the committees change in plans.
 Whether or not the supervisors will call this special election is a topic which has never been enter tained. Existing presumption has it that the board must call this cleo ton following the receipt of the pc titions.
 Interesting light is thrown upon this subject by one of the super visors, who, although an advocate of the new courthouse, is not in clined to spend county money with out looking before ne leaps"
 In other words, the board will not call this special election until 1t IS convinced that the bonds, ii voted, can be disposed of. An election such as proposed would cost the county at least S4O00. The recent agitation arising from the rumor that the county has not the power 10 issue any such bonds has caused these comments.
 There is a strong probability that one of the greatest legal authorities in the country will be asked for an opinion in this wrangle immediately ! after the petitions are submitted . and after this opinion Is secured . and then only will the voting tax know where they stand.

Garrett Andigned
 for Forgery Charge
(From Thursdays Daily)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 Calmly smoking a cigar and look ing upon the proceedings with an utter lack of concern, George Gar rett yesterday in Justice of the Peace McLane's court heard testi- mony which may ultimately send him to the penitentiary for a long term upon the charge of check forg, cry.
 Garrett was captured after a long winded chase by the sheriff's office. Forging two checks aggregating S55.50 in all, he disposed of them at the expense of a Jap and local liquor dealer, getting in all $50 in cash. When the forgeries were dis. covered, he fled but after a weeks chase he was captured at Camp Verde. The two victims, together with Ben Weaver, whose name was forged, testified. Assistant District Attorney J. H. Morgan appeared for the State Justice of the Peace McLane reserved decision until this morning.

THE STRIKE IS LEGITIMATE.
(From Thursdays Daily)


 w. w. Dunn, for many years a resident of Bouse, who IS in the city to remain, stated yesterday that. it Is practically admitted that the strike made some time ago by Bouse & McMahon, six miles dis tant, was legitimate, and that there was not the slightest indication oi a glory hole condition being in evi- dcnce.
 One car of gold ore that would net Sl00 per ton has been shipped to San Francisco and another car is ready for that market, of a higher valuation than the first one. The pay streak has widened to six feet at the depth of over 60 feet, and with the stripping of the ledge for several hundred feet a true Assure vein Is unquestionably deter mined The ore is a red hematiie of iron, and pans freely, the gold, however, being very fine.
 w. A. Parish, one of the best known mine engineers ill the West, was on the ground for the second time, and unhesitatingiy pronounced the strike as one of the most re- markable made in recent years. Bouse, since the discovery, IS as- stunning very much interest as m outhtting point, and miners and in- vestors are coming in at rapId rate. MT. Dunn states that the Paradise, located in the same bel- and in close proximity to the bon anza, was also attracting attention from the recent discovery of the same character of ore, a German being the owner, whose name was not learned. l. is his belief the desert country this winter. will as sume more interest than known ir many years, and with the Bouse & McMahon development continued tc depth under the present favorable conditions in evidence, quite a big boom should follow and on legiti mate grounds.

NrTOm hurSday Daily.)
 The adage time is valuable" was aptly illustrated at the expense oi Assistant District Attorney Joe Nor gan yesterday afternoon. It cost MT Morgan just Sl, eight-bits or ten beers for appearing ten minutes late at the arraignment of George Garrett for forgery.
 Morgan arrived all out of breath at Justice of the Peace McLane's court room-just on time. Then Morgan happened to remember that he had left his papers behind or done something equally as startling. Dashing from the room he re- mained away for ten minutes.
 Let's see, ten cents a minute that's pretty reasonable" murmured McLane to himself.
 Morgan was told the glad news of his fine when he returned. After expressing his hearty thanks for the kind consideration bestowed upon him, he romped up the stairs to Court Clerk Farley's office where he turned over the assessment.
 Well, 1 saved the interest any way" he was heard to murmur.

Arrivals from the stockmen's pool country state that the many hunters for the lion and wolf are beginning to reap benefits along bounty lines, 1t being estimated that over d dozen pelts are on hand at different camps. Outside hunters are coming in and 1t is believed the forty-mile square zone will be fully covered during the winter J. A. Bozarth, who was near Camp Wood a short time ago, says he was ali eyewitness to a most unusual occurrence. when two of the biggest lions he ever saw were cunningly engaged in round- ing up a bunch Of about forty range cattle, with ali of the skill of a cOwman. The animals were restless, evidently appreciating the fate that awaited them. On the sight of the human beings, however, they broke away from their cnemies and came forward when they were rescued from being attacked. An effort was made to get within gunshot of the lions. but they disappeared in the rocks.

possibly compete with the better
 varieties of cowpeas as a forage crop. The stems as a rule are rich and
 ching and the long pods, which lie
 on the ground, cannot be harvested
 by machinery. None of these 20 va
 rieties is as productive, either III
 herbage or in pods, as the better varieties of cowpeas.
 The asparagus bean derives it's name from the fact that the young green pods, when used as a vegs- table, have somewhat the flavor of asparagus. As a vegetable, the as- paragus bean may come into some what more general use than 1t has in the past, but as a forage crop it has but little merit. Seed of the Shahon pea, which apparently is the commonest variety of asparagus bean-namely. that having pinkish- buff seeds-is offered by the ad- vertisers at $ per pound. The same variety is offered by seeds men .n France, where the bean is more or less commonly grown, for 25 cents pound.
 Another plant which has been thoroughly tested, both by the de- partment and the experiment sta the Jack bean-is also being extravagantly advertised un- der the name of the giant stock pod bean, or the Wataka bean, the seed l being quoted at SIS per bushel. This bean has been fully treated of in Bureau of Plant Industry Circular No. no, which can be obtained from the department free upon request While the Jack bean produces an enormous amount of beans per acre, hey are not relished by stock and 10 satisfactory means of utilizing hem has yet been discovered.
