valley, and that he has formed such a
favorable opinion of the locality. He
and Professor Viala agreed that the only
thing needed to make this valley one of
the greatest fruit growing regions in the
world is adequate facilities for irrigation.
With such testimony the big ditch can
not long delay its arrival.

The Dallas News interviewed Govern-
or Sheldon on his way east last week
He said :
"We have given the El Paso mer-
chants the benefit of the same divisions
that wedo merchants elsewhere who
ship goods into El Paso. This will make
the rates to El Paso probably 25 per
cent, lower than now. Under the pres-
ent management the merchants of St.
Louis, New Orleans, Kansas City, Chi-
cago and other cities, by shipping via El
Paso into Mexico, can and do control
that trade, and practically shut El Paso
merchants out. All that vye have done is
to put El Paso merchants on the same
footing with merchants elsewhere in ref-
erence to that trade. We did it as a mat-
ter of justice to El Paso, and because it
is to the interest of the Texas & Pacific
to build up El Paso in competition espec-
ially with Eagle Pass, from which a line
of railroad is nearly completed to Lerdo,
oOO miles south of El Paso. As soon as
this road is completed it will be
a formidable rival for the traffic
south to the City of Mexico, distant 700
miles. There is much to be said on this
subject, but I have given you the general
features. 1 have written General Freight
Agent Finley a letter in which, as 1 un-
derstand it, I have discussed every fea-.
ture.
Here the governor dissgressing said:
"In my interview the other day you
quoted me as saying that 1 did not know
whether the Texas & Pacific would be
sold, and that was about what I said;
but it was not clear. I meant to say
that I did not know whether there would
be such bids as would be acceptable to
the security holders and the court, but I
suppose arrangements are being made to
bid in the road for the bondholders."
The letter referred to by the governor
was placed in the hands of the printers
yesterday evening, and as it is rather vo-
luminous there was considerable work on
it, so that the reporter could obtain
neither a proof nor the original copy last
night. It is a document that will make
interesting reading for competing lines,
and the more so since the Texas & Pa-
cific seems to be master of the situation.
The interview of Governor Sheldon at
Dallas, republished elsewhere in this is-
sue of the Times, fully confirms the
statements which the governor made
when here, regarding the purpose of the
receivers to give El Paso the Mexican
rate. Now watch the railroad fur fly.
Texas and New Mexico were both dis
appointed in not having had "returns"
on the tap between Santa Fc and Las
Vegas yesterday, Both nines were eager
for the field, but old Pluvius interposed
his veto and the game gave way to the
elements. When the nines do meet ou
the diamond the Times will give the ear-
liest. information.
Ai'itoros of the opinions expressed by
Professors Scribner and Viala regarding
the splendid soil and climate here for
grape growing, some interesting figures,
appears elsewhere in the Times,
showing the enormous growth of the
grape industry here during the last two
or three years. The entire importation
of grapes last year was less than 300,000
pounds.
San Dieoo is sending a brass band
around the country in a special car, at an
expense of $10,000, to toot the merits of
real estate about that city. A corps of
agents goes along with the band to dis-
tribute dodgers, a la circus. The people
who can be drawn to San Diego by this
sort of a Pied Piper trick may have some
cash, but ,they can't have much sense.
However, it is cash and not brains that
the California boom net is set to catch.
An exchange says: "Charles Lyell,
the eminent geologist, says that the inte-
rior of Mexico is the richest known ar-
gentiferous section in the world. The
fact was long ago established that a met-
alliferous vein runs without interruption
through the entire length of the Cordil-
lera of Anahuac, extending from the
Sierra Madre in Sonora, near the north-
ern border, to the gold deposits of Oax-
aco, in the extreme south of Mexico.
This exhaustive vein traverses no less
than seventeen states, and siuce the day
of its discovery its mineral yield has
been more than $4,000,000,000 worth.
And yet these valuable sources of wealth
are estimated to be not more than one per
cent of the undeveloped and undiscov-
ered whole."
The presence in this city of Professor
Scribner, chief of one of the divisions of
the department of agriculture at Wash-
iigton, has given the Development board
an opportunity to bring the merits of this
locality as a fruit growing region to the
attention of a man who is competent to
read the signs of fertility and who is in a
position to be of serviee to the city and
▼alley. It is a matter for congratulation
that Professor Scribner has been enabled,
Fast Time by the Texas & Pacific.
The Fort Worth Gazette says: Noth
ing is as yet definitely known in regard
to changes of the time on the Texas &
Pacific and Missouri Pacific, except that
•n the 16th the west bound train that
now stops here will go as far as Weather-
ford. The through passengers and the
sleeper will stop in Fort Worth. By the
new time table the Texas & Pacific will
make six hours better time between New
Orleans a nd El Paso than at present.

Far out o'er the heaving sea;
And I rise und sink-

It will be the death of me.
Oh, my breath comes quick, _ w

And as pale as a Chinese ghosc
Ah! that billowy swell,
As the steam tug fell,
Made me long for death almost.
While the swift yachts fly
I heave—a sigh,
And I long—how 1 long—for home
And 1 gaze at the beach—
Far out of reaeJi—
And I wish that 1 hadn't come.

George, dear," the girl went on, 'do thoughts
of me ever come to you? Do you think of me

And can catch without mufflog the spherical pill;
Can steal with impunity base after base,
And can stop without wincing hot balls with your

You may make up your mind that fame, fortune

Young Mr. Waldo (visiting in Chicago)—I
am very agreeably disappointed in Chicago,
Miss Breezy, 1 have always understood that
your city was somewhat backward in the re-

embellish civilized life.

Chicago is very much maligned, Mr. Waldo.

—Clothlei and Furnisher,
A bear weighing 500 pounds was killed on
Flint river, near Albany, Ga., by the citizens,
who never saw a bear in that', neighborhood
before.
Daniel O'Connell, of Stamford, Vt., was
attacked by a bear near North Adams, Mass.,
and was bei .ig badly worsted when his dog
interfered and be managed to eseapo. Tha
ilog has not lieen seen since.
A man was going over the Rocky moun-
tains for pine logs, driving a wngon. On the
top of a large log by the side of the road was
a young bear, the mother having started up
the mountain on the approach of the team.
The cub not moving, the mother came
bounding back to it, and giving it a nudge
with her nose started up the mountain again,
expecting the cub to follow. But the little
one made no move. The old bear then came
back the second time, and taking up the cub
in her paws, gave him several cuffs. The cub
tbeh obeyed orders and followed the old bear
in a gallop up the side of the mountain.
A passenger traiu on a Florida railroad
stopped some fifteen miles from Cedar Key to
prevent a collision with some cattle, when a
black bear came trotting leisurely out of the
woods, climbed upon the platform of a oar
and entered t he express room, where he found
three strings of fish and some bacon, all of
which went quickly into his maw. When the
train started up the swaying of the car shut
the door. The bear soon became tired of his
ride, and looked about for means of egress.
Nothing looked so vulnsrable to attack as the
windows in the side ot the car, -which were
protected by iron rods about a half inch in
diameter. He selected one of these, caught
two or three of the iron rods with his paws,
and, giving them a ling, broke and twisted
them off clean. His body was then forced
through the aperture and struck the ground
like u ru'.ber ball. He turned two or three
somersaults nvd ambled off into the woods.

Capt. Tom Burns laughs at the report that
he wants to resign the captaincy of the Balti-
mores, and says be will stay there if Manager
Barnie is satisfied, win or loose,
Last season Silver Flint, of the Chicagos,
ranked til'tv-seventh in the batting averages,
while this season, in the thirty-three games
bo played, he is placed fifteenth. A big up-
ward bound for the old back stop.
A clergyman acts as pitcher for the Albion
(Mo.) team, but under no circumstances will
he ailow any of his players to kick. The Al-
bions recently played the Grinnells and de-
feated them 0 to (i and submitted to several
questionable decisions.
It seems strange that all the leagues find
such trouble with umpires. The plan that
has been repeatedly advocated in these col-
umns, snys The Boston Courier, is worth a
trial. Appoint a man like "Bob" Ferguson in
charge of the staff of umpires and let him be
responsible for the supply of good men. The
plan is worth trying. It cau't result half as
badly as the present oue of home umpiring.
No more conscientious player appears on
the diamond than Roger Connor, New York's
big first baseman. He has played in no less
than eighty-six games, which gives him a bet-
ter record than any other player in the league.
Ward follows, with ejghty-five; Morrill and
Johnston, of the Bostons, eighty-four, and
Thompson, of the Detroit; Fogarty, of the
Philadelphia, and Ryan, Williamson and
Bums, of Chicago, eighty-three.
Briody has been formally notified by Man-
ager Watkins that he wiil be retained in the
Detroit club for the remainder of the season,
but judging from the present indications it is
not likely that he will be given an opportu-
nity to earn very much of his salary by work
behind the bat. Manager Watkinsintends to
play Bennett and Uanzell in each alternate
game until either one or the other is disabled;
then, of course, he will have to call upon
Briody for his assistance. Until then he
