CAPITAL STOCK INCREASED.
CRANKY Owners Garry their Stock up to
$500. 600.

At recent meeting the stockholders
of the CRANKY mills unanimously voted
to increase the capital stock OF the cor
poration from $3.50, 900 to $500, 0,OOQ so as
to provide for filling up their big mil!
building and run it at the full limit of
its capacity. This was done in order
to decrease the operating expenses
(proportionately) and thus increase the
percent. of profit. The capacity OF the
mill is to be increased from Is, OOo
spindles to $1,000 spindles, and from
500 looms to 1900 looms, thus oyer
trebbllng its output while the only ad;
dition to the operating expepses will
be the cost of the additional machinery
and employment of the necessary oper,,,
atives to run it. The building is all
there and general expenses are already
provided for. The officers of the mill
estimate that hereafter the mill will
consume annually about 5000 bales OF
cotton, as against 3, 900 now.

moisture on stubble lands. The weather
was unfavorable for saving fodder,
much of that that was pulled during
the week was damaged, and some to-
tally destroyed by rain.
The cotton crop is fairly promising,
but as yet uncertain, and deterlorated
during the week. The continuous
cloudy and rainy weather has caused
an increase OF rust and shedding, both
of which are common over the entire
State. Matured bolls are rottlng to
some extent. Cotton is opening freely
in places, but generally slow, and
picking has fairly begun IL the eastern
portions of the state, and will soon be

ll9 miles of the line are already in

crossed The state line, nearly 100 miles

the rails 10 New Mexico at the rate Of
over two miles per day. When this
extension is completed, New Mexico
will have built not far from 200 miles
of road this year. PecOs Valley road

and the the large shipments Of cattle
which it will handle will add mater
tally to the traffic of the AtchlsOn,

Telephone Company Sued.

j. II. Demory Tuesday afternoon
filed suit in district court against the
NJ. & K. Telephone Co. for $3.50
damages. The suit is the result of
Mr.. Demory's mare becoming fright
ened by the telephone l!nemen while
stringing wire on Moth Washington
avenue, September %, which caused
the mare to run away, tearing up the
buggy and injuring the animal to
such an extent that she is practically
worthless as driver,
The suit will probably be fought by
the telephone people on the grounds
that there is a city ordinance in
effect1 which forbids anyone from
hitching their horses on Washington
avenue. If a city ordinance was vio-
lated by Mr.. DemOry ln hitching his
mare where he did, il will be difficult
for him to recover damages.
