f. L SURPLUS SEED

Among many farmers the scarcity
of seed seems to be the chief item Of
discussion at the present time. On the
other hand there are a great many
farmers in this section who have grain
on hand which would make good seed,
but these people are not, in all cases,
in contact with possible purchasers.
In order that those having seed to
sell may learn Of possible purchasers
and that those desiring seeds may
learn Of sources of supply, the U. S.
Field Station, Tucumcari, N. NJ, has
decided to act as a medium to those
who may wish to use its services.
Persons desiring to sell any Of the
seed they may have on hand are re-
quested to write the U S. Field Sta
ton the varieties and the amounts Of
each variety Of seed they have on
hand and the prices they wish to OBJ
tain for it. This information will be
given out to possible purchasers who
write the Station concerning seeds.
Parties desiring to purchase seeds
are invited to write this Station rs to
what seed they need and the quaint
ties they desire and names will be
sent them of other parties having the
seed to sell, such names being secured
by the above mentioned method.
This exchange service will be ali
solutely free to all those who may
ARE to make use Of it. This Field
Station will also be glad to give as
sistance at any time in any other pos
sible way which is consistent with the
policies of the Station.

making a thorough examination, and
taking two X-Ray pictures. An alb

which will require lancing later. DR..

FEDERAL JURY
lNDlCTS MO-.

The Nevada California Oregon Rail-
way company was indicted Monday
by a federal grand jury, sitting in
Carson City on ten counts for alleged
violation OF the Sherman antitrust
law. The trial OF the case will prob
ably be held early in the summer, says
the Gazette.
Fuel OIL 10 Cause
According to the charges of the gov.
eminent the company, by the practice
of evasion, has been receiving fuel oil
for It's own consumption. over the
lines Of the Southern Pacific company,
at less than the tariff rates of that
company, in violation OF the interstate
commerce laws.

SEXTON Ties
UP RAILROAD
President Of E. & P. Closes
Down Rather Than Garry
U. S. Mail

A Tight of over two years standing
between the postoffice department and
]. E. Sexton. president of the Eureka
& Palisade railroad. over the price OF
carrying the mail between the towns
of Palisade and Eureka, eliminated
Tuesday when Sexton issued an order
pulling on all trains, and declared
that he would Junk the road and all
rolling stock.
The fight between Mr.. Sexton and
the postofice department has been
an interesting one to those acquaint.
ed with the details. The government
has been paying $3.50 per year to a
stage company to carry the mail be-
tween the two towns. which is dis
lance OF about eighty miles. The con-
tract calls for a tri-weekly- service,
and the mail is about twenty-four
hours In transit. Trains. have been
running on the E. & p. tri-weekly
and the trip between the towns is
made in about six hours. On account
of the better service which II offers
the people of Eureka have been very
anxious to have the mail carried by
the railroad, but 1t has been impos-
sible for the department and the presi-
dent Of the road to come to an agree
ment on the price.
Mr.. Sexton offered to enter into
contract with the government to carry
the mail for $1,000. which is $3.50
less than is being paid to the stage
company. The most that the govern
ment would offer was $1,000 for the
service by railroad, and it was point
ed out that more could be paid, as
the price for carrying mail by train
is based on different schedule than
carrying II by stage. Mr.. Sexton took
the matter up with the Nevada repre-
sentatives in congress in an effort to
get what he termed was a fair price.
but the matter was never satisfactor-
lily adjusted.
Under the provisions of a law pass
ed by congress last July, officials OF
the postal department notified Sex
ton on the first OF April that he would
be compelled to carry the mail on
and after May 1. Agents were sent to
Palisade and Eureka, and on Tuesday
morning the agent at Palisade pre-
scented the mail to Sexton and ordered
that he carry 1t. Sexton replied that
he had suspended operations of the
road and that he intended to junk it
and all the rolling stock. He dis
missed all the employees but oDe crew,
which he sent out with a work train
to gather up all the supplies.
1t is said that under the provisions
of the contract which the government
proposed to enter into with Sexton
that he was to receive 1890 per year
for a tri-weekly service, which is
$3.50 less than is being paid to the
stage company, and he would have
been subject to n fine of $1,000 for
every failure to deliver the mail, un
less prevented by the elements.
What may further develop in the
matter remains to be seen. The road
at any rate Is tied up hard and fast
and the people of Eureka must de
pend on teams to get in supplies as
well as to carry the mail, and inter
mediate mining camps must depend
on trucks to get ore to the main rail
way lines.
