The railroad bill was sent to con-
ference niti consideration of the post-
al savings bank bill was begun in the
house Tuesday. An ineffectual at-
tempt was made in the house by dem-
ocrats and Insurgents under tho lead-
ership of Representative (.enroot to
agree to the senate amendment to the
railroad hill and avoid a conference.
Mr I.en root's motion was defeated,
150 to 1(12, twenty-one insurgents vot-

that they will succeed In attaching
this bill to the land withdrawal bill,
which is the first of the administra-
tion conservation measures to come
up in the senate. The house commit-
tee on ways and means refused to let
the reclamation bond bill go before
the house, but if the senate tacks the
measure to the senate land withdrawal
bill It will get before the conferees
nnd the house will thus get a < hun.o

A deficit of $305,000 has been dis-
covered in the city treasury of Ho-
boken, N. .1 . according to the report
of a recently appointed Investigation
committee The deficit is due chiefly,
the committee snvs, to the action of
officials in "spending money for which
no appropriation was e-er made and
which was found diverting money
from sinking funds and other trust
funds."

Day City, Tex. If crops turn out
this fall as well as the present pros-
pects indicate there will be an abund
I aiit yield of corn, rice and cotton Not
for many years past have all these
three staple crops of South Texas
been as flourishing and piotul.-diig as
they are at this time of the year. In
addition to these, yields of other di-
versified crops have been fairly good.
Mr. J. M. Sims, one of the large
farmers ol' Matagorda county, lias
been quite successful in his experi-
ments with diversified farming. In ad-
dition lo bis staples he has harvested
an excellent yield of barley from six
acres, lie says that barley can be suc-
cessfully raised and can be made one
of the valuable faroge crops of the
coast country Irish potatoes is. an-
other crop which can be sue cessfully
produced. Last spring the same gen-
tleman planted one bushel of seed of
the Karly Rose variety, on less than
one-tenth of an acre, and he gathered
from this plot thirty live bushels of
large potatoes.
Mr. William Kellar, another farmer
of the county, brought into town one
stool of barle y with 10S matured heads
Wednesday. The orange trees are
well laden with fruit.
The fig trees of the coast country
are also heavily laden, and In some
localities the people are feasting on
the luscious fruit. Hut these are only
some of the products of the coast
country. There are many others
which add luxuries to the tables and
wealth to the community. There are
the crops of hay, melons, onions, cab-
bage, peas, potatoes, berries, various
vegetables, sorghum and sugar cane,
wlii- h -ne constantly matnrlna In ome
en iions ot tlu- coastal pla ns nnd pu'
ting cash into the pockets of the pro-
ducers. But this is not all. The
creamery and the poultry products
should not be overlooked. Then large
numbers of cattle are being shipped
to the markets, while swine raising
Is constantly developing Into greater
proportions. F.ven the bays which
make the s uit hern boundnry of the
state are in coming plentifully stocked
with redlish. trout, jewflsh, tarpon and
other salt water fish. The natural
reefs and oyster farms are also yield-
ing fine supplies of wholesome and
palatable bivalves, and now the> shli>
ments of llsh and oysters to the in-
terior towns and c ities are rapidly de-
veloping Into an important Industry.
