Attracting Settlers.


Washington, d. c., Sept. 3.-An Of

partment of the Southern Railway,
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and Georgia
Southern and Florida Railway was
established at Denver, Colo, Septem-
Der 1st with H. r. Buckley in charge
with the title of Travelling Agent. The
opening of the Denver office will ex-
tend the work of the Southern Rail-
way and affiliated lines in the solicit
tation Of immigration and industries
farther into the Western States and
should prove of value to the entire
Southeastern States. Mr.. Buckley is
an experienced man, having assisted
in the preparation Of exhibits of
Southern products made by the
Southern and affiliated lines at fairs
in the North and West and is thor
oughly conversant with conditions in
the Southeast and with the many at

Eastern Panama Exposition.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
The Atlantic coast has shown moth
ing like the interest in the Panama
Canal and it's possibilities that the
Pacific coast has been showing from
the word CO." Every port on that
coast has been alive and jumping
since the very first They secured
the exposition celebrating the compile
ton Of the canal, and one city, San
Diego, losing the location to San Fran
cisco, went to work and has raised
millions for an exposition of it's own.
HarbOr improvements Of all kinds
have ben occupying the attention OF
all those ports, and facilities for hand
ling greatly augmented ocean COM
merce have been a paramount issue
for several years. With characteristic
Western energy, the Pacific coast has
been on the job.
The Atlantic coast, while not asleep,
Is nearly so. 1t needs waking up
and an exposition on the Atlantic
side certainly ought to be held And
there is certainly nc more logical site
for it than the North Carolina coast
our own coast, which is nearer the
ocean highways than that of any other
Atlantic State, and about midway be-
tween the canal and the great East
ern ports. Having never attempted
anything on so huge a scale, and with
the jamestown affair before us, the
proposition that we swing such an en-
terprise very naturally is a bit appal-
| ling. But nobody can say We can't
do it. There is absolutely nothing
wrong with the idea. If successfully
handled there is no way of estimating
the beneficial results for North Caro-
lima, and this city. 1t is a proposition
worthy Of the attention of our big
gest men.

Tobacco Outlook.

Setting and resetting of tobacco
is practically over and one can be
safe in saying there is not more
than 70 per cent. of an average
crop in the ground. The tobacco
has been 81 eatly helped by the re-
cent rains and seems to be in a
good, growthy condition in almost
every field. Much of it has been
ploughed over twice, and the late
resetting has not wilted, but has
started to growing rapidly. The
outlook in the Bluegrass section is
very good, but in Western Ken
lucky trouble still continues and
there is no telling what the out
come will be or how good per-
centage of the crop will be cult
waited. Tobacco men and growers
have a seemingly good year in
front of them if they will only
take an interest in their crop and
use judgment in housing and pre-
pairing it for curing. Do not wait
until the tobacco is ready to cut,
but begin now in figuring to take
care of your crop in the proper
and sensible way so as to get the
best benefits therefrom. Blue

will trot in 2:05 or better before
their careers are concluded, and
their are other horses in training

Brigade, 2:26t, and the Lord

CAIIlt NoIts.

The big cattle market has open
ed in Montgomery county and
several sales are reported this
week. G. G. Mcdonald, buyer
for Sulzberger & Swartzchild, has
purchased about 900 head the past
week. The prices ranged from 81
for the culls to SO per hundred
for the best. The most of the
cattle secured we're steers that had
been fed ensilage during the win
ter and after being turned to grass
we're continued on corn and cotton
seed meal. Among the cattle secur-
ed by Mr.. Mcdonald we're 10 head
from William Bolts, 10S head
from George G. Hamilton, a nice
bunch from Robert E. Upton, A.
Sid Hart, Dan j. Prewitt and
Dunlap Gay. The cattle were
bought for July delivery. The
fat cattle market in this county is
in good shape and the stock is in
fine condition. Mr.. Mcdonald is
one of the best buyers in the Blue
grass section and knows a good
steer when he sees one, and annu-
ally purchases 5000 cattle in this
and adjoining counties.
HI. S. Cavwood, buyer for
Swift & Company, shipped from
this city last Saturday 500 head of
steers that he purchased about ten
days ago from Woodford Broth
ers. 1t took % cars to make the
shipment and the cattle were in
good condition.
The cattle market is equally as
strong in Bourbon and other coun-
ties as is in Montgomery and cat
tie are being sold and shipped out
daily to the various Eastern mar
kets. The prices being paid range
from Z to 8 cents.
During the past week the cattle
market has been steady at Chicago
and other markets. and all indica-
tions point to the prices standing
around the present ones for some
time, if not gradually increasing.
The known shortage of steers ex-
sting all over the country has had
tendency to open the eyes of the
skeptical and they have begun to
realize the present conditions of
the cattle market and the outlook
for the future. We do not be-
ieve it advisable for cattle men to
90 crazy because there is a short
age in steers and refuse liberal
offers for their stock, knowing
that the time to sell is when you
can make good profit, but we do
think that it would be to the inter-
est of cattle men to keep better
posted on conditions as they now
exist than they have been doing.
Never before in the history Of
this country has common sense
and intelligence been needed more
in the cattle industry. Cattle men
must learn to feed economically
and handle their stock properly to
make money, and the best way to
accomplish this is by buying and
installing a Silo on your farm. 1t
is the salvation of the stockman
and farmer and sooner or later
they will realize it. Study con-
ditions and prepare to meet them,
and do not wait for the next gen.
Grafton to come along and make
the needed improvements Blue

BACA ASKED To
GIVE AN ACCOUNT
New Mexico Legislature
Wants Statement ReIa-
tive to Contingent Fund

Santa Fe, y. NJ, Feb. 2O.-Great stir
has been caused here by the the reSOlu-
ton adopted in the house yesterday af-
ternOOn, shortly before adjournment,
which provided for the auditing Of
the accounts of speaker r. L. Baca
concerning $1,000 turned over to him
last year for the contingent expenses
OF the house. The resolution, accord
ing to friends of the speaker, is a di-
rect slap at him and will probably be
TecOnsidered today
The report of the handling of this
fund according TO a man close to the
speaker, has been in progress Of prep
aratiOn for some time, and il is due
to the slOWnesS of the preparation that
il had not been presented several
days ago
The Baea resolution incident is not
the only one that is stirring up
things. While il was impossible TO
learn the details of the matter, sew
eral senators of the insurgent wing are
understood to be plotting a surprise
The nature Of this is uncertain, but II
is said that it viii be directed at the
majority floor leader, senator Holt.
This afternoon the district attorney
and salary bills are to be brought up
for consideration At least, they are
on the calendar. That is no sign
that they will be passed, ltabled or
even discussed. There are too many
Republican senators who are out Of
harmony with the finance committee
bill as it stands.
While there is a large amount Of
sentiment favorable to the Page bill,
that measure has admittedly but a
small chance in the lower house What
will likely be the outcome Of the sal
airy tangle. if il pushed TO its con-
cIusiOn within the next few days, IS
that the finance committee bill will
be amended along the lines indicated
in the Mccoy bill in certain sections.
1t is thought that with this help the
Republican leaders can secure a suf-
ficiency OF Republican sentiment and
votes to push the measure through
the senate. -:-s.zssl3
Relative to the state lair BILL op!n-
ions differ. State senator Barth, VINO
halls from BernalillO county, makes
the statement that there are but nine
men in the senate who could be
counted upon to vote for this meas
ure, even including " doubtful ones
other legislators are of the opinion
that a majority will be forthcoming
for the measure in the senate.
Wednesday generally was quiet,
few committee meetings being the only
activity to mar its peace Many of the
legislators spent the entire day at the
Masonic reunion
The Sumner county matter was up
again Wednesday. this time before the
senate committee on counties and
county lines. The hearing was public.
The committee adjourned without
making any statement as to its prob
able intention.
