New Prison Farm Notes
By One of the Farmers.

Warden Wolfer and son were farm visi-
tors Sunday afternoon.
The farm yard has been looking like a
cow hospital lately-two sick and two lame
cows, but all are getting right again.
A fine stand of sand burrs and pig weeds
were plowed under during the week in or
der that the ground could be planted to
fodder corn.
Spraying potatoes kept the teamster busy
the first part of the week on the O'Neil
machine making repairs.
Tuesday afternoon the team made trip
to the old prison and got new six-foot
Minnesota binder complete with trucks,
and hauled it out to the O. Neil farm.
The farmers are getting their runners in
training for the races. Big Tom and the
Chief tried out the other afternoon; the
Chief would have won only his feet got
tangled and threw him just at the wrong
time.
Saturday afternoon, after day and a
half in the onion patch thinning out onions,
the long Sioux offered to put in the alter
noon singing if the superintendent would let
him, but it was thin more onions for the
Sioux.

ing, and when he caught up with the bunch
he said someone had taken his coat. But
he did that in order to call our attention to
the new coat given him that afternoon,
which had the white stripes on the arm.
Going to the blacksmith shop the other
day young lady wanted to sell US tenn
perance paper. She was very much sur
prised when we told her we were broke,
and have wondered some since if she
thought we really needed a temperance
paper.
Monday noon an eight pound pickerel
got over the dam and started down stream.
All went we'll until he met the two Sioux
farmers who rounded him up and were just
ready to grab him when the assistant super
intendent jumped in, grabbed the fish and
ran up to the house with it. We all had
| FISH the next noon.
The Big Chief drew prize again on
| Wednesday when he was detailed to go
over to the O'Neil farm and shock rye.
When asked how it went, he said it was the
hardest work he ever done. The bundles
were SO long that he could not see the butt
| from the head end and all were tangled to-
gether, but as it took them the rest of the
week to cut and shock twenty acres, the
bunch concluded that his hard work was
mostly imaginary.

Boobies
By A Fan.

Otis Clymer has been sold by the Chi
cago Cubs to Boston Nationals.
Manager Griffith states that pitcher Carl
Cashion will not be able to play ball again
this season.
Chuck" O'Brien, moist ball artist, has
been sold by the Boston American League
club to the Chicago White Sox.
Jimmy Sheckard, former member of the
world famous Cubs, has been sold by the
St. Louis Cardinals to Cincinnati at the
waiver price.
The loss of Marty O'Toole was Sc
we're blow to the Pirates. The star finger
recently underwent an operation for appen-
dicitis and will be out of the game for some
time.
Washington had good week, as they
have won eight out of the last twelve
games. Manager Griffith hopes to finish
in second place at the very least. He has
the good wishes of most of the fans around
the circuit.
Cleveland is again playing the fastest
kind of game. Lajoie is back in the
lineup and helped materially in grabbing
a couple of games from the White Hose
last week. The Maps also got to the Ath-
letics for one or two games in the series.
The Giants have acquired handsome
lead by winning dozen straight games.
That McGraw will keep his team out in
front is a foregone conclusion. His pitch
ers are all in good shape and the club is
hitting the ball to all corners of the lot.
The acquisition of Buck o. Brien by the
White Sox is said to be a further indication
that s'Big Ed Walsh is all in. O'Brien
is a spit baller, and it is thought will de-
velope into winner under the tutelage of
the Callahan Gleason Walsh combination.
The Cubs were able to take but one
game in four at the Polo grounds last week.
There was time not far distant when a
visit of the Cubs to Manhattan brought
fear and trembling to the Giants. Alas!
Where are the Cubs of yester-year3 Ask

May Plant Egyptian Cotton.

S. A. Elrod, deputy clerk of the superior court at Tucson has purchased 115 acres of land eight miles east of Tucson, the deal having been concluded sev- eral days ago. The land is al ready fenced in and numerous ditches have been dug on the place to distribute the flood waters.
 MT. Elrod is making a study of Egyptian cotton and may de- termine to plant the 115 acres in this kind of cotton. He is se- curing data on the culture of this crop from the department of Agriculture at Washington Before he purchased the land he had an expert make analysis of the soil and it was pronounced as good as any in this section, better for many purposes than land west of the city for the reason that it is not so heavy.

Old Four Metals.

The Red Mountain Copper Company, formerly the Four Metals Company and the Red Cone Company, few miles the other side of MOwry, has a force of nearly fifty MeSicans at work building a road to connect the mine with the Nogales- Wash ington Camp road. As soon as this road is completed the con- pany will esta blish @ camp, and work will commence on the prop erty on a big scale.
 Work has been done on the old Four Metals intermittingly for several years, but since the consolidation of that company with the old Red Cone Company, under the name of Red Noun tain Copper Company, new life and new capital has been put into the works, and it is the in tention of the new company to mine on a more extensive plan than previously attempted by either of the old companies. As the road is considered of first i'm portace, in order to get supplies: it is being rushed to completion. Suitable camps will be provided for a large number of workmen.
 Oscar A. Turner, a mining man of considerabl reputation throughout the West, is in charge of operations at the mine, and is on the job in person. He has mined in the Occur d'Alenes, at Tonopah and Goldfield, besides several camps in Arizona.-Pa tagOnian.

Feterita is the latest senatiOn in the southwest. Feterita is not the name of new twO-Step, a new breakfast food, nor a snake charmer. According to a seed salesman from Denver, F'e- terita is the name of a new drought resisting forage plant which is praised extravagantly by a number of dry farmers who have tried it. It Is some what similar to milo maize and kaffir corn. The story of the in troduction of the new forage reads like a romance. It is said that some six or seven years ago the government brought over several heads of feterita and planted it on a demonstra- tion farm near Chilicote, Tex, where it made big yield. The government men, however, wish
 ed to make a number of further tests before making the matter public, and refused to dispose of any of the seed. Some farm CT, it seems, succeeded in pur- Joining several heads and from this start he secured enough of seed to finally plant 500 acres, from which seed is being sent all over the southwest. Gazette

THE WORLD RECEIVES RETURNS

The World was the first to an
nounce the election returns last
night. Although 5tmewhat handi4
capped at the beginning because Of
a mistake by the Western Union Tel
egraph company, the returns were
accurate and complete, and furnished
the large crowd present with just
what they wanted to know In addi-
ton to the Western Union, the tele
phone was frequently used so as to
get as much of the news as was
possible.
The first report was that Mitchell
had defeated the Tammany Tigers
by an overwhelming majority Then
came the Maryland result. and follow
ing closely was the report that Mas
sachusetts had elected a Democratic
governor. But the best news Of all
vas that New Jersey had endorsed
the national administration by cleo
ling James D. Fielder by plurality
Of at least $1,000. This was pleasing
10 the Democrats present, and the re.
publicans stated that they we're not
disappointed.
Unusual interest was manifested in
the Cleveland. O., mayoralty election
because of this city being the former
home of Mayor Newton Baker, who
