Fl. Stockton Is In a Land of Plenty
Richness of the Stockton Valley
By NORMAN M. WALKER

TORT STOCKTON, Texas, Aug. Is
Smelling of new mOwn hay with
4 alfalfa on the floor, alfalfa in
bales stacked in the rear Of the room
and fruits, vegetables and forage crops
ranged around the walls. the exhibit of
the Fort Stockton chamber of commerce
is an epitome Of what can be done in the
Fort Stockton valley, which spreads out
like fan to the north and east Of this
little city Of the west Texas plains.
There is more 70 this alfalfa exhibit
than the perfume of new mOWn hay.
There are dollars in il at So a ton
right from the field. and SIS to $50
when the supply of forage crop grows
scarce in the winter season. The al
Ialfa which is piled to the ceiling in
this exhibit room is pea green in color,
first class in quality and is one of six
cuttings obtained from the irrigated
lands Of the Fort CtocktOn project
Not Dragging About CantaIOupes-
The StOcktOnians are not so enthusi-
aStic about the cantalOupe crop this
year, although finely netted specimens
are on exhibition at the chamber of
commerce. They cut some cantaIOupes
at the melon feed which was given in
honor Of the Southwest Texas Press
association that equalled any of the
famous FL PasO melons in flavor and
firmness of meat, despite the fact that
the honey dew aphls had done a tango
over their corrugated rinds J. ".
Long. George W Calvert. Marvin FAX
ers Jim Rooney, J F. Knight and G.
A Deeman have all tried cantalOupeS
commercially this season for the first
time. and in spite Of the aphis pest,
they expect to clear money and will
put in large acreage next season with
the expectation OF putting the indian
sign on the honey dew individual be-
fore that time.
WatermeIOns are Fine.
WatermelOns from the COyanOSa val
ley, which is a part Of this section,
are on display big enough to delight
the heart of an east Texas black belt
Marvin Eakers is one OF the cham
peen" melon growers of the district
and one Of his melons on display in
the chamber Of commerce could not be
carried away with anything short of
q mule team.
A prominent place is given Rooneys
grapes, one jumbo cluster being pre-
served In a glass jar, which occupies
the place of honor in the canned fruit
section These grapes viii keep 60
days after they mature and produce
from $500 to $500 an acre in regular
money.
Ben Davis. Missouri Pippin. Ganos
and other brands of apples are grown
in the orchard belt with the same fine
flavor and solid meat as the grapes.
Few OF these are on exhibition as this
IS the closed season for the apple crop.
September and October is the apple
season Peaches are grown in This
valley finer than the famous east Tex
BIS Elbertas.
Because Of the lateness Of the sea
son Smudge pots are to be found in
the rear Of many Of the apple growers
barns but these smudges have saved
apple crops where more favored com
minutes have lost their crops. and the
smudge pot is not without honor in
this country.
Many Vegetables on Display.
Wax beans. tomatoes, cabbage let
tuce. cUcumbers, wild celery. kershaws,
corn on the cob, green chilli. casaba

Ell, PASOAN INVENTS
RARROW FOR CONCRETE

The concrete age has brought its i'm
prOvements, inventions and patents
An FL Paso man, George A Tyler. has
recently patented a WheelbarrOw for
transmitting concrete mixture from the
mixing machine to the dumping place,
which dumps the mixture through the
bottom of the barrow by means OF
plates or swinging doors. These are
held in position by cams, but are re-
leased by operating rods so that half
or all of the contents of the barrow
may be dumped at one time. The
wheelbarrow is to be constructed OF
steel and is a decided Improvement
the inventor claims, over the old
style wheelbarroW.

she becomes the mistress of one or

When man has lived time out
here in the land of the silent places
he will be dictated to by no creed,
Catholic least of any, and my plea
for the Indian can be only this: Let
them work out their own salvation,
remove the influence of the crucif1x,
or place men here who have the we'll
being of the Indian at heart, and
instead of seeing weakened woman
mumbling over her beads, between
fits of consumptive coughing, we
may yet see the tribe regain some of
it's old-time ardor for the chase, and
see the 'potlaches" that marked the
prosperity of people before ''the
little Gar of the Pacific" set foot
upon the soil.

is an outrage to release 10000
copies of this report, which would
probably fall into the hands of chill
dren, and not copy will ever leave

above case is that Uncle Sam en-

SHAKE, BROTHER WATSON!
He Is in Excellent Company-Postal
Inspector Refuses to Allow
Report to Go Through Mails.

When Thos. E. Watson sent
through the mails certain extracts
from the .moral theology" of the
Church of Rome, he was promptly
arrested, and is now waiting trial.
And not only the papal press and
priests, but some of the pharisai-
cally-ignorant Protestant press and
clergy cried, "Served him right"
And all along the line, among GER
tain class of Protestant willy-nillys,
there have been shudders over every
thing that tells the truth about
popery and it's vileness, and cries of
'unprintable filth" should be shut
out of the mails" etc., etc.
Now, really, could anything be
tougher or more Objectionable than
some of the documents sent out by
the U. S. Government? A while ago
a friend showed us an chronological
report on the folklore of the In
dlans of Alaska, and it not only told
things necessary to be told, but in
addition, stories worse than those in
the uneXpurgated BOccacciO or Walt
Whitman, or the original Chaucer.
Here is a telegram in the N Y.
Times Of May %:
Philadelphia, May administers
OF the Protestant Episcopal diocese
who recently planned to have 10000
copies of the report of the Philadel-
phia Vice Commission printed and
distributed have been bitterly de-
nounced by Chief Postal Inspector
James COrtelyou, who announced to-
day that he would prevent it's being
sent through the mails. Cortelyou
described the report of the investi-
gators as unprintable filth, and said
that the ministers had no right even
to contemplate using the mail for it's
distribution.
The Vice Commission report con-
sists of 165 pages of descriptive mat
ter, and the vice question is dwelt
upon plainly, together with many
passages quoted from the testimony
OF inmates of the now quarantined
section. At the time the commission
presented the report to Mayor
Blankenburg it was without suffi-
cient funds to have more than a few
copies printed
At the meeting of the Episcopal
diocese it was proposed by Bishop
Rhinelander that vice might be
uIOI0 0I0CClVoly attacked IN all sec
tons of the country if the report
had a wide circulation. This was
unanimously decided upon, and a
fund of $500, to which Samuel S.
Fels, the Single Tax advocate, and
Edward B. Smith, are said to have
contributed, was Immediately raised
to be used for printing 10000 copies
Of the report.
Inspector Corte1you was greatly
surprised when he learned that the
ministers had planned to use the
mail matter, and said:
81 have read the Vice Commits
sion's report and consider it one of
the most filthy affairs that has ever
come under my notice in banned
mailed matter. l shall certainly nip
in the bud any attempt that Bishop
Rhinelander or any one else may
