Rice planters around Crowley are
thinking very seriously of trying the
New York market for their rice The
Signal states that a couple of weeks ago
several cars of rough rice were shipped
from there to New York. Returns on a
number of these cars have been received
within the past few days, and they go
to prove that better prices would be re-
allied in New York than in New Or
leans. These returns show an advance
Of from twenty-five to seventy-fivc cents
an the barrel, and in one instance the
supper icooi"oa s.. ! 0 net, above freight
and all other expenses, on the same Car
for which New Orleans quotations had
justified bid here Of Sl.25-a net gain
of eighty-hve cents per barrel. 1t is
safe to say that the bulk OF lice shipped
from Crowley during the remainder of
the season will seek the New York
market in case future returns continue
equally as satisfactory as those so far
received. The New Orleans com bina-
ton will awaken some bright morning
to a realization of the fact that they
have squeezed their puddn,n as they
were wont to dub tue rice grower, a
leetle y too hard.-Ir these conditions
are obtained next season it is fair to
presume that Nermilion rice planters
may be induced to try the New York
market also.-Abbevillo Meridional.

COTTON sE6D BOOMING.
Present Prices Never surpassed Since
the War.

the War.
CARRoLLToN, GA, Feb. 23.-Much ex-
element exists among the farmers of Car
roll county and all Western Georgia over
the price of cotton seed. They are
selling in Carrollton to-day for 35
cents per bushel, and the seed
buyers and others who are
posted say the price will go TO SO cents be-
fore Nav 10, or before this seasons cotton
crop has been planted. Never in the his
tory Of this country has cotton seed sold at
such big price, unless it was the year after
the war, when few bushels sold as high as
81 for planting purposes.
AT every town in " estern Georgia there
are one or more seed buyers who represent
the cotton seed oil mills, and the price has
gone from Is cents TO IS cents this season.
and will go to so cents, and maybe TO IS
or 81. 1t has taken as many cars to
ship cotton seed from this point this season
nearly as it has for cotton. Farmers are
casting about for a Kind of cotton seed that
will raise nothing but seed, for they say
raising seed beats raising cotton. The
present price Of seed adds nearly ~ cents a
pound to the price Of cotton. There are
many oil mills going up in Western Georgia,
and the prices Of seed are expected to be
higher next fall than this, and this expecta-
ton, with the late rise in cotton, will cause
a big cotton acreage to be planted. The
farmers are wondering when the cotton
seed Will stop going up.

THE PLACE AND ITS NAME.
Lakewood itself is an interesting place.
which was rapidly coming into favor with
New Workers like ex- Mayor Hewitt and
Fark Commissioner Straus before Mr..
Cleveland took It up. It was an iron man
1tacturing village, where man psmed
Brick bad works. he had %, 600 acres Of
Jersey pine barrens, and died poor as might
have been expected. His family had the
unspeakable folly to suppose that q winter
resort named "Bricksburg" could be q sue
cess. They had the idea, and in 1880 some
New York men bought out the property
and supplied the name, and things began to
look up.
The Jersey Central built the finest small
station in the state, the land compauy spent
a host OF dollars in cutting roads through
the woods. The lake is a narrow strip of
water only two miles long aud never more
than quarter wide. It is completely sur
rounded by the property Of the company,
and except the dam at its lower end there is
no house upon it. There is, however a
kissing bridge" az echo and other modern
improvements. The lake again has rather
funny name, "Carasaljo." named from
Mr.. Bricks daughters, Caroline, Sally and
Josephine. That man must have been a
genius in nomenclature.
The special claim that Lakewood makes
upon the attention of Mr.. Cleveland and
others is its mild winter climate.
This year the mercury went down to IL
below zero" said Capt. Bradshaw the VET
eran Of the place, to me as we were discuss
ing that point.
Wasn't it coldp' asked.
20, dear, no." replied the captain enthu-
siastlcally. You see the air here is so dry
and bracing that"
That's just the way real estate men talk
IN Jerusalem and everywhere else. How
ever, the captain is right. Lakewood, with
It's virgin forest drives is a beautiful place,
and when the Clevelands leave for Wash
ington they will probably feel some regret.

LAKEWOOD, N. J., Feb. 2O.-The little
white house at Lakewood is about the most
lonesome place OF human residence in the
state.
The New York reporters have spoken Of
It vaguely as approached from the station
by q "plank walk" This is generous
figure of speech. Lakewood is designed for
carriage people" almost exclusively, and
the plank walk is confined to the business
section of the town. Elsewhere it Is spo-
radio The station is away ON one side of
everything and the visiting statesman at
first wonders where the-town is.
"Go right down that road past the big
hotel ~ says the native who has watched the
stranger look about. He didn't want to ask
for what l was looking.
The Cleveland house lies northeast from
the station. and fully three-qusrters of a
mile away. The village lies mainly to the
southwest. Only the big Lakewood hotel,
whore all the visiting statesmen STOP is
anywhere near it. Not even that is in sight.
From the station the hotel lies hidden be-
yond low swelling hight Of land for which
ridge" is a term expressing altogether too
much. From the hotel. entirely surrounded
by pines, no other habitation can be seen.
NO photograph OF 10 was ever TAKEN, De-
cause no camera that was ever made can
take it all in" at the limited range made
necessary by the surrounding woods. Still
another gentle ridge, smaller than the last,
and that past one comes to valley through
the bottom Of which trickles stream dry
in summer and too small to bear a name.
Still beyond that, on the right. stands the
Cleveland cottage. A 10-acre plot goes
with it, but Of this only an acre and a half
is oearad in mart toward the south and on
the other side the house, painted in custard
pie fashion, yellow with white trimming,
and its brown barn back up against the
rich, dark green of the woods.

This beautiful baby boy. the son OF Geo.
B. and Janetta Harris, Webster, Ind, is one
of thousands completely cured by the CUII'
CURA REMEDIES of a torturing and dis
figuring skin disease, after many doctors
aud remedies had wholly failed. The mar
velous cures daily performed by these great
remedies have astonished all familiar with
them. None but mothers realize how these
little ones suffer when their tender skins are
literally on fire with itching and burning
eczemas, and other itching scaly, blotchy
and pimply skin and scalp diseases. To
know that single application of the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES will afford instant relief,
permit rest and sleep, and point to q per-
manent and economical because most
speedy cure, and not TO use them. is to fail
in your duty. Parents, think Of the mental
and physical suffering to be endured in
years to come from neglected skin, scalp
and blood diseases. Cures made In infancy
and childhood are almost invariably per-
manent.

TIME AND TIDE.
Immigration and the Santa Fe Valley
A Citizen Speaks Of Possibilities
and Wants Action.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
The old legend concernining the pre-
cipitancy of time and tide is again being
e1emplifed at Santa Fe. For the past
month, every week, almost every day, has
seen its quota of immigrants passing
through the gates of Santa Fe for alleged
fairer fields. On last Sunday % persons
from the San Luis valley passed through
this beautiful valley on the way to Ari-
zona. The effect of the recent panic will
be to set an army of immigrants in mo-
ton for the irrigated fields of the west,
and particularly those in the prospective
new states. Men of the east who have
farms worth from $1,000 to $4,000, and
families who have been cultivating the
fields of the San Luis valley, where fruit
shrivels in the desicated air, will seek
better homes. It lisa sin and a shame
that 100000 acres of the Santa Fe plains
are yet unirrigated. The wasted water
of the last season might have been
chea ply stored. Next winters snow may
also be lost. : Unless the capitalists who
have the call ON this great enterprise get
a move on themselves the great oppor-
tunity and advantage of the next year will
be lost. Santa Fe could settle $4,000
acres between now and next summer If
! water were guaranteed from the Arroyo
Chamiso and Hondo reservoirs.
| The New MEXICAN limited yesterday
that good news may soon be expected
concerning this enterprise. Let US hope
that it will not long be withheld from an
anxious people. 7. NJ. It.
