Cotton ? ECKER

This perfect cotton picking machine Costing
less than $4,000 to build) is drawn by a pair
OF small mules, and will as days work, at
cost of $500, pick the cotton from about six
acres.
In the old way it would require 25 men to do
the same work. Even working as fast and per-
forming the work as thoroughly as these ma
chimes do it would have required $4,000 cotton
picking machines 60 days to pick the cotton
crop of '91. s.
AS the picking of that crop by hand cost over
S1OO,oOO,OOO the machine would have made
saving of about $4,000 600.
Intelligent minds must be impressed with the
magnitude of the pressing demand for this lat
est and most W onderful labor saving machine;
and the direct return of large dividend to the
investors from the use of every machine manu-
featured and at the same time allowing profit
to the farmer instead of as now aloss.
Instead of raising money by mortgaging land
and crops, getting deeper into debt year by
year, the farmer will become independent.
He will have no further use for the banker
and store-keepers advances, at exhorbitant
prices, who have insisted upon increased cotton
acreage, until to-day the planting exceeds
twenty millions of acres
1t seems hardly credible that such state
of affairs should exist, but the Southern planter
knows it full well.
Mr. Campbell, the inventor of the Cotton
Picker, devoted years of time and talent 10 de-
velop it, because he knew the great need OF it in
the South.
Col. E. j. Gurley of Texas saw its immense
value, and gratefully paid the price asked for
his interest in the Company.
Mr.. Seth Turner knows the value of this in
vention to the people of the South, and as natu-
rally as the child asks the mother to share In
its Joys, so MI Turner comes to his native state
| for the best advice, assistance and capital, to
quickly manufacture one hundred thousand OF
| these perfected machines, with capacity LOT
ncking nine million OF bales in sixty days, and
to share in the annual dividend of eighty mil
! lions of dollars, divided between the Planters
| and the Stockholders of the Lone Star Cotton
| Picking Co.

stage and is success, this means big money

Below the stroudwater Tide Mill There is
an Unioue Village of Fishing Sheds
Which Much Attracts Portlanders-
The Clam Worm is the Popular Bait
this Year-A Big Haul by Six Port
1anders.
The slnelt fishing grounds at Stroud
water are quite resort for the curious
as well as for fishermen every Gay now,
especially Sunday. 1t is estimated that
there were 175 fishers there during last
Sundays tides. The smelt hshermen
begin with the beginning OF the flood
tide, and fish through that and the hrst
three hours of the ebb. Those who
toilod through last Sunday, began about
midnight Saturday, and continued until
midnight the next night. The fishing
Sunday was poor; but it has been good,
the regulars making $1.50 or 81 day,
selling the smelts at 81 cents a pound.
One day last week from p m. to 9.20 p.
m. six young men from Portland took
1876 pounds.
The fishing is done on the stream be-
low the tide mill, there being about a
quarter of a mile frequented by smelt
fishers. The method employed is for
number of men to- club together and
build large box or house, about IA feet
long by 7 wide, tight and fitted with
stove. Sometimes Hcanvas is stretched
over wooden frame. In the floor OF
the box is cut hole two feet wide and
extending the whole length. When the
box is moved across the channel hole
is cut through the ice, so that the fisher
man may sit in his house, warmed by
stove, and drop his lines through the
floor into the water. Each box has
about eight lines, each line fitted with
four hooks baited with clam worms.
This is new bait which is-rapidly tax
ing the place of minnows. The clam
worm is long worm in size, rather
larger than an angleworm. They are
found on clam flats after the tide goes
out in great numbers. They are most
plentiful on the flats below the Eastern
promenade.
There are over thirty sheds on the
channel at Stroudwater; and the loca-
lions are in great demand. Like the
Miner Of the Far West,
the smelt fisherman stakes out his claim.
AS soon as the stream freezes the fisher
man sets four stakes on the ice, and
usage protects him in claiming the place
thus selected provided no one forestals
him. There is considerable competition,
and one has to be on hand early in the
season to get his lot staked.
The lot once secured and the shed To-
Gated, the smelt fisher is happy. He
can sit in his warm house and smoke his
pipe, while hauling in the fish. About
noon time the aroma of coffee and the
sizzling of frying smelts are appetizing
characteristics of this community.
The high line of the fishermen is said
to be Martin Carney. 1t is said that he
has fished there forty years, but this
may be an exaggeration. He has prob
ably caught more than any other two
men. Some nights he takes thirty or
forty pounds, or even more. He uses
the clam worm mostly for bait; but occa-
sionally tempts the sinners with beef
steak, minnows or portions of the smelt's
stomach.
Sunday is the busiest day in the smelt-
ing village, many amateurs going from
Portland. Last Sunday being pleasant,
there were an especially large number
present.
