September 9TH and was beaten
Ill three races.
The next challenge Was from
Vice~Conmodore Bell, Of the
Royal Clyde Yacht Club. This
time a hutter of doubt was felt
by many Americans as to the
safety of the cup. The Scotch
Thistle was quick and ni1nble
while the American Volunteer
was sluggish in her movements.
But the result again proved the
superiority of American yacht
architecture. The Thistle was
hopelessly beaten every time and
her racing status firmly settled.
There were now no more races
for the American Cup till 1898
when Lord Dunraven' Valkyrie

struggle with the Vigilant.
Great progress had been made,

harder over his designs than
Nathaniel G.. Herreshoff, of Bris-

and builder of the Defender. The

races is too fresh in the minds of
all to need recounting here.

COTTON At 10 CTS.
Capt. KOlb, writes a letter
to Cotton Growers.
HOLD YOUR COTTON.
ADVISES THEM NOT TO SHIP FosR SIXTY
TO NINETY DAYS.

Captain K. +. kolb, of Bir.
mlngham, Alabama, ex-Com
missioner of Agriculture, ;
Well-known politician, has ad
dressed an open letter to the cot
ton planters in answer to inqui
ries from various sections of the
South. In it he says, among
other things:
"No intelligent man who is
adequately posted will take issue
with me on the proposition that
the present crop of cotton will
tall far below the needs of the
worlds consumption for the next
twelve months. In my opinion,
the crop cannot possibly reach
100000 bales and may fall be-
low 6,5oo,oOo | think I can
give many reasons for my con-
cluslon. A wet May always
means short cotton crop. This
is a known fact to all growers
OF cotton and stands as a tradi
tlon handed down 10 us by our
toretathers from generation to
generation, ever since the pro-
ductlon of cotton was introduced
IN this country. This year We
do not only have the wet Nav,
but during the three following
months of June, Ju4y, and Aug
ust, the rains continued over all
the cotton States except Texas.
If we know anything of cotton
production, We must know that
the cotton plant is a sun plant
and not a water lily, and hence
too much water has very much
damaged the crop.
"Then, again, too much mois-
ture IN many sections has pros
iuced "rust,' and the stalks, |
caves and bolls have turned red
and not halt crop will be pro-
1uced On such plants. In other
sections the boil worms, army |
worms and sharp shooters have |
oeen very destructive and the
,rop nearly destroyed, besieged
oy all these causes.
again, the cotton crop, in
he averl &c, is nearly one month
ate and all early frost would cut
he crop over 100000 bales.
With SO much moisture in the
oil this year we should expect
rost much earlier than usual
GAS | understand the situation
II the present cotton crop, after
iligent inquiry, l think it pos
ible and highly probable that
ot exceeding o,5oo,ooo bales
'lll be produced.
81 advise that no cotton be
larketed during the next sixty
ninety days, except to meet
ebt and actual demand. If you
old your cotton until Novembe .
nd December and will then
larket it slowly, you are sure to
ct 10 cents, or more for every
ound of it. Next year continue
curtall your acreage and use
fertilizer, make all your pro-
lslons at home and do as you
ave been compelled to do this
ear against your will, and your
ext crop of cotton will bring 10
ents and more per pound and {
lie Southern farmers will once
ore be prosperous, happy :

y correspondent of the Char
I0Hc ObSer0cr writing from Bal
tlmOre gives the cost Of a coun-
try cannery and shows the abso-
lutte folly of our people buying
canned goods instead of shipping
them as we should do. He gives
the cost of establishing a cannerv
OF 3ooo-3 pound can capacity
per day, and shows the profits to
be derived therefrom. After
reading this our people can real
ize the folly Of buying canned
goods from the North.
The Odsrrvrr correspond, Mt
says:
To the truck farmer, who al
ways has fruit and vegetables at
certain seasons which are not
marketable at a profit, the small
cannery is a windfall. The
large city cannery, no matter
how improved its machinery or
how large its output, cannot
compete with the small Cannerv,
whose raw material is practically
free, and whose skilled labor is
considered free.
The cost in such a case of
operating a cannery of 5000 g
pound can capacity would be

The country packer should

by trying to put up goods i'll the

packer sells his goods through
brokers who continually call on
him for little cheaper product
which will enable him to CONS
pete with another broker, and so
the tendency increases toward
poorer goods.
The country packer should
sell, not around by way of the

direct to the nearest wholesale
grocer, thus keeping the money
at home and benefting both
product and consumer.

A wedding which was to take

Wednesday last has been post
poned for year, and a woman

Valkyrie and Defender.
Gasp Scott, an Englishman,

relative merits of the two yachts.
Miss Beakes is a cyclist, but has

but if the Defender is victorious

NEW PosToFFIcE BUILDING.
Loud and Mcguire Asking for an
APPROPRIATION,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Representa-
tiyes Loud and Mcguire appeared before
the House Appropriations COMMITTEES to-
day TO urge an appropriation for the San
Francisco Postoff1ee building. Mr.. Loud
favored large appropriation, even asking
as much as $500, 200. Mcguire was content
with less, in order to get the building
started as soon as possible. 1t came out
that Secretary Carlisle had written letter
to the committee saying that with the
S1S8.000 left from the purchase of the site
and now available $4,000 additional
would be sufficient for this fiscal year.
Accordingly, the committee has decided
to appropriate $4,000, with this proviso: :
That commission of three War Depart
ment engineers be sent to San Francisco
Immediately upon the passage of the ap-
propriation bill to make expert exsmina-
ton of the Seventh and Mission streets lot
If their report is favorable work will be
Immediately begun upon the excavation
and foundation Of the building. II their
report is unfavorable it shall give all the
facts to Congress for its further action.
The supervising architect has completed
the plans for the building. The work has
necessarily been delayed on account of
the unsubstantial character of the site at
Seventh and Mission streets, and because
Congress seemed disinclined to appro-
pirate more money for the building until
an investigation was made by a committee
of Congress-.
The morning call., 1895-01-11

Wills Lodge No. SO. and his associates,
Frank Mclaughlin and E. w. Fogg. has
been accepted. 1t is gilt of the commo-
dious and beautiful building of which an
engraving is herewith given, with tract
of about eight acres of land, toward the
endowment of home for the aged and
INDECENT Odd Fellows, their wives, widows
and orphans.
With this offer there is also included the
right to purchase 100 additional acres of
the colony lands, with water on the land
ready for use. at $50 an acre. that being
the original price of the entire colony
tract and about ne.third of the present
price; also giving an option for two years
as to fifty acres of that quantity, and also
to ten acres of river-bottom land at S25
per acre.
When this offer was made, the property
offered as gift, upon which some $4,000
had already been expended, was subject
to membranes to the amount OF some
$1,000. but upon learning OF the offer the
citizens Of Oroville promptly raised the
fund TO pay off this ncumbrance, so that
now the property is free from all incum-
brances.
The building Is of wood upon a stone
founoaton, but of the most substantial
character. AS now divided it contains
sixty-two rooms 1t Is proposed to make
some slight changes in the interior which
will increase this mum Der somewhat, max
ing it conform more TO the wants of home
and less to those of hotel, all of which
can now be done without increasing the
cost of completion. In addition to this
fifteen or twenty more excellent rooms
may be made III the upper part of the
front of the building at any time when de-
sired.
The site Is one of the most healthful in
the State. The building stands on the
west bank of the Feather River, just op-
posite the city of Oroville.
In addition the parties above named
have also agreed to dona to the home
sufficient fruit, shade and other trees to
plant all of the land to be occupied, to pipe
water to every acre and only to charge
afterward for water actually used. The
generosity of the citizens and fraternity of
Thermalito, Oroville and vicinity merit the
high compliment conveyed in the selection
of this thrifty locality.
incidentally il may be remarked that
boxes of ripe Washington navel oranges
were shipped from 1hermalito to this
market about the middle of Novembe Der,
which will give an idea of the productive
