 [ All of the crops will be late this year. according to Mel on account of the cold snap which came after spring first opened And it was on that account also that he, as well as other farmers of the com munity, failed to get in all of their spring crops.
 But having the ground cleared and plowed, he had to do some, thing with it MT. Sabin has thera fore decided that he will pursue his experiments further and will this summer. or shortly after the dark nights start again. sow barley. wheat and rye of winter varieties.
 The sowing of winter grains for July harvest has never been tried extensively among the farmers here. At the government farm, howevtT. small patches have been tried, and they have matured nicely.

Sans line of talk was concerning the duties of court bailiff, which position he held during the last court term. He told of tending the door in the court room: how it was his busi- ness to see that curiosity seekers were kept out of court during the rape trials; how he acquired con siderable knowledge of the law through carrying law books from the judges library to the judge s bench in the court room and other things too numerous to mention, including the number of books in the library, which, he said con tained a thousand or more volumes.
 When the talk reached the law book stage one of the oldtimers who was listening to Sans dis course appeared to become very much interested And hearing San. say that it vas part of his duty to take care of the library, the oldtimer finally asked in an innocent tone oi voice:

lHtlT htpuDiItdu pIttHltHf put II was easily to be seen that the Demo crats, particularly the office holders, counted on victory at the polls next November In fact, to quote Dis trict Attorney R F. Roth. the Democratic politics O man can be told as far as he can be seen, this morning"
 But my! What difference in the evening Unstead of in the morn ing). For n the evening came the unwelcome news that Theodore Roose- welt had declined the nomination of the Progressives. which made it practically certain that the c. o. P would go to the polls united next November. That was altogether a horse of another color
 Therefore, had you been standing around the corners last evening you would have seen the same bunch. but with their smile of the morn ing changed to funerial expression All of which indicates that the par ty men now in power are not near ly so certain that they will be able to hold their jobs after the election in November.
 Expert Over in the Tolovana Didn't country there are a Suit number of operators
 who figure on selling their claims to the Guggenheims at some future date. In fact, some of the ground has already been in vestigated by Guggenheim man. And when he made the investiga ton, the agent of the Guggenheims stated that he would report back to his company and that a placer mining expert would probably be sent in by the company to further investigate the various properties, with view of purchasing.
 Therefore when one O the min ing men few weeks ago received telegram from Tanana signed Howard" he thought of nothing except that Howard" was the prom ised Guggenbeim expert The wire asked that transportation for How ard" be arranged from Tolovana station, on the Panama river. to Brooks.
 And still being of the opinion that Howard" was his mining ex- pert, the Tolovana man made ar engagements for the transportation Therefore his surprise can well be imagined when female person styling herself Howard" stepped up to him one day last week at Brooks and thanked him for arranging for her transport ation, promising that she would pay the money back to him when she "got to work
 The subject is said to be a very ticklish one to the mining man in question, who is we'll known. In |, Howard" in language which would not do to print when she told him who she was.
 in explaining the matter the fe male person in question said that she had heard of the Tolovana man as being responsible party. al ways willing to help a lady out, and that that was the reason she wired to him to arrange transpOr- tation for her She also says thai she had no idea that the Tolovana man was expecting any other per son
 And he says he wasn't either of that persuasion

PULSE INVADERS, DRIVING
THEM TO SEA.
Cavalry Skirmishcs at Skinncr's Ford
Enliycn Mock War on
Border.

SAN BENITO. Texas, Nov. 10
With heavy reinforcements supporting
them, the white" army today re-
pulsed the attacks of the brown"
army-the enemy" force invading the
United States from the sea-forcing
II to beat a retreat toward the gulf
where it took up positions for the
night while outposts were stationed in
drainage bitches and irrigation canals
over an area fully mile and half
north of the town. All told, the in
vaders were forced to retreat dis
tance of five miles today.
Reinforcements for the white
army continued to reach the main
forces early tonight and IL was under
stood preparations were being made
for an extensive attack under the cover
of darkness
Fighting today was confined prin-
cipally to outpost actions and several
cavalry skirmishes at SINNERS Ford.
Before the "brown" attack was re-
pulsed its forces had reached nearly
To Harlingen. The first retreat move
ment covered distance of nearly two
Colorado, wher stand was made for
three hours. The report that force
or unknown size was crossing at
Skinner's Ford, in n proposed flanking
movement, caused a hurried abandon
mcnt of this position by the browns"
Tor strategic reasons, and they fell
back to San Benito. 1t was then the
days activities were concluded
