Establishes Exten-
 sion Department
Prescott < Northwestern Railroad Ap. points L. A. Markham Extension Agent Ot Agricultural and De
 velOpmenti Department

Effect i V e M aV 1st. Il. A. Markham was appointed exten- sion agent of the agricultural and development department of the Prescott X Northwestern Rail. way. MT. Markham was for merly connected with the Iron Mountain road in this capacity and has recently been with the Arkansas state department of agriculture.
 Our work will be of a general agricultural nature," says Mr. Markham. We will endeavor 10 create an intelligent and sys- tematic marketing system of farm products. This is the great est problem at this time in the south and our intentions are to make feature of farm economy in connection with the Market Bureau of the U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 We will immediately begin organizing t h e farming and buying interest thorOughout the entire length of the line and con- template forming permanent far mers institutes at each impor- tant point.
 While our work for the next few weeks will be mainly along organization line by way of pre- pairing for an active development campaign next fall, we will be prepared at all times to advise with farmers on their problems and we invite correspondence with this department to that end, Such problems as fighting insects, pests and disease, culti' vatirg and tertilizing crops, se- curing good seed, purchase of improved breeding stock, poultry etc., will have our interested at tention.
 Owing to the small extent of territory to be worked, it is hop ed to bring about thorough sys- tem in organization so as to give farmers full benefit of co-Opera- tion among themselves and be- tween them and the. business men and railroad interests. y
 Along the line of the Prescott & Northwestern railroad lies an abundance of eXcellant farming land and this year bumper crops of cantaloupes and peaches are expected. The Highland orch ard is probably the largest El- berta peach orchard in the world and there are a number of other orchards rear this route. Several cars of radishes have been shipped this season hand the establishment of this new de partment will stimulate truck growing on the Prescott X Northwestern road and all ad- Jacent territory.

G. R. FOGG SUCCESSFUL
Induced DR.. Howard Company to
Make Special Prices

After great deal of effort and cor
respondence G. r .Fogg, the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the
DR.. Howard Co. to make a special
half-price Introductory offer on the
regular fifty cent size of their cele-
brated specific for the cure of consti-
patton and dyspepsia.
This medicine is recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the
stomach and bowels. 1t not only
gives quick relief, but it makes per-
manent cures.
DR.. Towards specific has been so
remarkably successful in curing con-
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver
troubles that G. r. Fogg is willing to
return the price paid in every case
where it does not give relief.
So great is the demand for this spe-
cific that G. R. Fogg has been able to
secure only a limited supply, and
every one who is troubled with dys-
pepsia, constipation or liver trouble
should call upon him at once, or send
% cents, and get sixty doses of the
best medicine ever made, on this spe-
cial half price offer with his personal
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure. 3w31

they pursue so diligently an summer.
So general has the indoor golf fad
become that in New York, Chicago
and other metropolitan centers the
clubs, the restaurants and the ath-
letic clubs are providing great spaces
for the new game.
In the woman's clubs the golf
course is the most popular room in
the establishment, and on stated
afternoons the fair ones invade the
sacred domains of the mems athletic
clubs to satisfy their craving for the
sport.
The indoor game is much improv-
ed this winter and has made such a
hit with the American lovers of golf
that we have gone far ahead of the
old country golfers in the laying out
of indoor courses. In Chicago even
the department stores are putting in =
fine courses, and the athletic clubs,
the women's clubs and the restaur-
ants have set up nets. One of the
hotels now is laying out course on
which six matches may be played 81
multaneously, and the others will, of
course, follow suit. In New York
most of the fashionable restaurants
have their golfing courses.
Possibly the best indoor course in
America is the one recently installed
at the Sportsman's Club Of America,
Chicago's new idea in athletic clubs,
which is designed to be the athletic
club of the athlete without regard to
their wealth. Bobbie Jolly, one of
the most popular Of the popular fam
lily of Scotch golfers, has charge and
has added frills that are guaranteed
to put as many swears into the in
door as there are in the outdoor
game.

in the early afternoon yesterday. On
these bases the English pounds sterling

The heavy selling of bills on London

stated that large part Of yesterdays
