,-EFFECTS OF THE MARKET
UPON CURRENT VALUES
OF COTTON,

Gotten, like other industries, is
still under the effects OF the recent
financial and trade crisis. Tne
worlds purchasing power has not
vet recovered. a revival OF gen
eral trade will favorably affect the
values of cotton. How much can
not be said, but conservative opln-
ion considers that rise OF one
cent per pound, which will be
nearly 20 per cent on present val
ues, may be hoped for from this
source.
One other effect is said to result
from eyorbitant estimates OF the
current crop. 1t would be well if
estimations of production were ex-
elusive!v official. If the figures of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture are not enough to
guide the market they could be
amplifed. and their acceptance
enforced by the commissioners OF
agriculture of the cotton States.

Natural conditions, especially

crops are adapted to gwen regions.
Cotton is the great product adapt
ed to the climate of the South,
hence the concentration upon that
crop. The question is, "Have we
concentrated too much and to the
exclusion If otl,tr crops, even
tuose that furnish the daily needs
of hfe?" There is no doubt of
this. Our mules and cattle are

LONDON, July 25.-The bimetal-
lie league has shown increased activ-
ity during the past week. Its COM
mlttee has been in constant ses-
sion since Monday. The league now
occupies large offices in Cornhill and
it's members are all delighted with
the result of the general elections.
The bimetallists had workers in
every district, and in Wales they cir
culated eight-foot posters stating
the nature of their propaganda and
especially pointing out the atti-
tude of Sir William Vernon Har-
court, eX-chancellor of the ex-
chequer, on the question. Secre-
tary McNeill, talking over the stu
alton with a representative of the
Associated Press, said that most of
the Conservative delegates were
pledged to bimetallic principles be-
fore accepting the nomination. He
added: "The complexion of the new
parliament shows increased friend
ship for our views. In Wales they
have hitherto not understood the diff
ference between monometallism and
bimetallism, and have been wont to
accept Harcourt's views as law and
gospel. Let me tell you, Sir Will
lam Harcourt is the individual who
is responsible for the defeat of the
Liberals. His ideas were narrow and
bigoted, and it is generally con-
cluded that he is not a financier
You may state as a fact that he has
relied during his occupancy of the
eXchequer upon the financial views
of a banker, Mr.. Montague. When
the cause was presented last Febru-
airy Sir William Harcourt was the

rapidly in England. We lost a few

County Commissioners to Send

County Commissioner Nash yester-
day had long conference with Head
Deputy Sheriff Phil Megaarden con-
corning the abuses under the license
law, which have been tolerated thus
far this season at Lake Minnetonka
Commissioner Nash visited the lake
Wednesday, and he was surprised at
the general plan Of wide openess with
which everything was run. Every
where on the large steamers and in
the large hotels liquor was sold, with
no attempt at concealment, and with
out a license. The only hotel thus far
that has applied for license to sell
liquor is the Lafayette, and the appli-
cation was made early in the spring
and advertised according to the re-
quirements of the law. The others
have not even taken the trouble to
formally apply. 1t was agreed that
some action ought to be taken, and
early next week deputy sheriff
armed with the requisite papers will
move on the places alleged to be violat-
ing the statute. 1t was not given out
whether the places would be simply
closed up or the persons in charge
would be arrested. 1t is likely that
the last course will be adopted, how
ever, and those arrested will be as
sessed.

Der of young women struggled with
other curiosity seekers to gain ad-
mission to the trial of Theodore Dur
rant for the murder of Blanche La
mont today. The proceedings opened
with the district attorneys attempt to
controvert the defendants application
for change Of venue. After a number
of affidavits had been presented stat
ing the defendant would have a fair
trial in San Francisco, Judge Murphy
denied the defendants application for
a change of venue, giving Durrant the
right to renew the motion later on.

murders could not be produced during
the trial or while the action was pend

APPALACHIANs IN TOWN.
Noun tain Climbers From Boston
StOp Off IL Day.

A party of hardy Bestonians made
Minneapolis their temporary home
yesterday, and left this morning over
the 500 to the Rocky mountains. This
party consisted of sixteen members of
the Appalachian club, on their way to
conquer the mighty hills of the West
before snow flies. The Appalachian
club is an organization of which not
so very much is known in the West.
1t consist almost entirely of Boston
people, although there are members
scattered throughout the country The
club was organized in 1876, it's object
being two-fold. First, to further in
terest in scientific research and ex-
ploration; and, secondly, to gather to-
gether band of intellectual people,
who could appreciate to the utmost
the beauties of Nature. The members
are devoted to the purpose of mountain
climbing, the maintenance of mountain
paths, and the preservation of the
natural beauties that crown the rugged
heights. 1t is very similar to the cele-
brated Alpine club, of England At
the beginning the club had but a few
members, and its explorations We're
confined TO a comparative small area
bers scattered here and there The
original idea was to limit the area of
their work to the New England states,
but with the growing of the club the
original idea has been lost sight of. and
the scope much enlarged and extended.
The present trip is the most extensive
ever planned by the club. The party
now en- route West will explore the
toty ~
along the Pacific coast. They are out
for the biggest achievement in their
history.
While in Minneapolis, the mountain
climbers were the guests of Rev. Harry
T. Nichols, of st. Marks Episcopal
church, who is the only Minneapolis
person belonging to the Appalachians.
Mr.. Nichols played the part of host
very successfully, and escorted his
guests about the city. They were taken
through the state university and the
public library, and visited the -four
mills, afterward being treated to a
drive through the parks and bouIe-
wards of the city. They were enter
tanned right royalty, and were loud in
their praise of the Flour CITY. and
especially were they delighted with

who have spent their lives near Boston

BOARD OF SINKING FUND COM
MISSIONERS NOT READY TO
BUY
THE NEW RESERVOIR BONDS.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO NEGOTI-
ATE THE SALE TO BE MADE
TODAY. q
STILL ON CITY FRANCHISES.
The Board of Equalization Hay.
ing Fun With B. and l.. At
tOrneys.

The board of sinking fund commits
sioners has not purchased the res
ervoir bonds yet, although it held
meeting yesterday afternoon, and it
was expected that the meeting would
result in the purchase of the bonds,
and it is still probable that the deal
will go through in spite of protests
made almost entirely by the people
who do not want the reservoir pro-
ject to go through. Up to date the
commissioners say that they have
heard objections from no one except
those who gave themselves away in
their talk as being objectors simply
on account of the reservoir matter.
AS the commissioners hold that the
matter of building a reservoir has
been previously settled by the city
this form of objection does not have
any weight.
The bonds We're not purchased yes
terday because a majority of the
commissioners were not in favor of
the purchase; on the contrary Mayor
Pratt and City Comptroller Nye
voted for the purchase, and Mayor
Pratt changed to no only when City
Treasurer Haugan voted no, and it
was seen that the action was not
unanimous. Mr.. Haugan gave. as
his reasons for voting no that GER
tain parties had laid down on him,
and, although at first he had been
one of the most ardent supporters
Of the proposed sale, he felt con-
strained to vote no at present
The vote was probably a little
surprise to the rest of the COM
missioners and they Immediately
began a general discussion Mayor
Pratt argued that it was mandatory
on the board to invest it's money in
! some way, and he could think of no
better investment than investing in
the bonds of Minneapolis Both Mr..
Pratt and Mr.Nye held that no argu-
ments had been brought against the
proposed sale except the parties
showed in their talk that they were
Influenced by the reservoir matter.
If the commissioners We're not 60
ing to take the reservoir bonds there
w do DuI one IHiHS IOT lnom TO 90,
and that was skirmish around and
find some outstanding city bonds
and buy up about s240,000 worth OF
these, and then there were parties
who would take the reservoir bonds.
OF course the city would be the loser
/ by this deal and it was going around
| the bush, but the result would be
the same. This is the scheme that
| will be adopted if the commission
! decides not to buy the reservoir
/ bonds. The chances are, however,
that the board Of sinking fund COM
missioners will take the bonds, which
amount to 100000, and the matter
! was held in allegiance until today,
/ and another meeting will be held
at 8 o'clock this afternoon.
! There is considerable interest in
/ this matter and number of inter-
: ested parties appeared at the city
! hall yesterday afternoon. Daniel
! Bassett appeared before the board
! to argue at length his objections to
! the purchase, but he brought out
nothing new, the objections having
been generally aired before
