Kansas City Nov. 11-That the promoters of the Chambers Land Company sold as the most fertile land in the world, outside the valley cr the Nile, land upon parts of which horses and cattle were obliged to wear muck shoes to keep from sinking and other parts of which were completed inundated was the charge made by Judge Sylvester B .Rush of Omaha, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States in outlining the governments t's case in the federal cou1, here today
 F. C. Chambers, president. and four alleged agents of the company are charged with using the mails t1 defraud and promote a conspiracy iH the sale of Florida lands
 Francis M Wilson, United States district attorney, announced that the government had sixty witnesses here half of them from Florida Attorneys for the defense asserted they hac half that number, and that many O. them are leadin eoffcials of Florida
 Our first witness will be woman who after having purchased the land

went to Florida, said Judge Rush. She will testify she took an agent O. the company to help her i0on for a purchase. After hours of vadils she refused to go further, but she cen tinued. Finally she found her land under two feet of water"
 Attorneys for the defense an- lounced that Mir. Chambers assumed q all responsibility for the statements and claims made for the land
 The defense as outlined. was that every representation made as to the land was true; that it was being drained and that every claim for re- claimed swamps would be realized and those who had invested theiI money had invested it wisely.
 George II. rayis, who outlined the defense, charged that Harvey W Wiley formerly chief of the uurcal of chemistry, United States depart ment of agriculture. was authority fo. the statement that the land was the most fertile in the world outside the valley of the Nile.

 There has been no more loyal sup porter of the State Fair than Cover nor George w. Hays, who. on the stump and from his office, has creat- ed an immense amount of interest in the coming exposition The Arkansas Panama-Pacific Commission has also reflected some of the Governors en- thusiasm. They, too, understood how necessary it was to nave great State Fair this year, and they have had fer the past several weeks many men working in all sections of the state, who have gathered up exhibits, inde- pendent of those sent in by county fairs and these will be seen in this city during the coming week,
 If there is one state in the Union rich in it's undeveloped mineral re- sources, it is Arkansas. There has never been time, however in the history of the State Fair where all the mineral products of the state were gathered together at one time, but at the state exposition that will open Monday, patrons will see collection of this kind that any state would be proud to boast of From the hat filled with diamonds of tao famous diamond field of this state. and embracing ev cry other mineral found in Arkansas this exhibit is certain to be a magnet around which thousands will gather during the life of the fair.
 To the boys and girls of the state members of the Corn and Cauninr Clubs. too much praise cannot be giv en. for the magnificent disp'a 'ay they have sent to the State Fair So larg, has this exhibit been that it has beer necessary to give the boys and girl additional space on the portico on tn, west side of the exposition building and this display will occupy the entir, length of the building. lt is certail so prove one of the hig features of Ia, exposition.
