ADVANCE IN COTTON.

The only remaining obstacle TO the I'm
movement OF trade at the South, that
Of low-pricad cotton. is. for the present
at least. thing of the past. and there
apparently exists no apparent reason why
business ia the Southern states during
the present year should not prove highly
prosperous. Bfadstreets
The conclusion then is that the wise
cotton planter. realizing that the crop Of
this year cannot be made rs economically
as vas last years crop, and that big
crop will reduce the price OF cotton. viii
not make cotton the main crop. but will
make food products the chief crops and
cotton secondary. Nashville American.

can spluners who understood the actual
situation with respect 10 the crop better
bought freely. The result IL that half OF
the season has passed with the American
supply pretty well used up. while foreign

surplus supply az European distributing

While there has been much talk about
the loss and deatkution OF the Southern
planter whose cotton sold below cents
in New York. the truth Is that the South
can produce much cheaper cotton than
It could years aso.-Ncw York Tribune.
Il may be possible to establish cotton
factories az Manila. bring raw cotton
there from the South or from India and
Egypt. and to manufacture Il at much
less expense than the South can make

The establishment Of so many cotton
mills in the South win make cotton profit

dry DOCK IN Wnich the largest or our ma
val vessels could be repaired. and such
a dock has been constructed. It has
been found to be well built and adequate
to all present demands. The largest OF
our own battleships have been success
fully locked, and in its utility it is pro-
nounced by naval authorities to be I'M
surpassed by any other dock in the
country.
When the government decided upon
establishing a naval station at Port
orchard, however. it had In view a
project greater than the mere building
of dry dock. Its plans contemplated
a naval station in every sense of the
term. This meant not only dock. but
all facilities for repairing any vessel
in the navy: also warehouses, store
rooms for war materials, and other ma
val supplies, and quarters ample for the
accommodation of officers and men on
shore duty at a station which in time
might become the most important On
the Coast. This, no doubt, is what the
government will make provision for as
time is given 1t and the means for the
improvements are forthcoming.
Some Of the urgent necessities are
evidently to be provided for in the APP
preparation which has been offered by
the subcommittee on naval affairs
There is a recommendation of s2i0,0s5.
out of which $4,000 is assigned for the
construction of an equipment shop This
is an appurtenance OF the station which
is imperatively demanded. There must
be at Port Orchard everything that is
needed for the overhauling and repair
ing of government vessels. 1t should be
unnecessary to bring machinery, tools
or men from any other station; they
should always be on the ground where
they are needed. At present the Port
Orchard dock is the only one on the
Coast which can handle vessels Of the
heavier class. and their efficiency and
the good of the service make II essen
tial that the station should have an
equipment unexcelled by any other on
either coast.
With the equipment shop completed
money will be available for putting in
proper machinery. 1t is evident, there
fore. that there should be no delay in
pushing work on this shop with a view
to its early completion. Proper equip
ment for overhauling Is now lacking
on the Coast, and IL should be provided
at the earliest date possible The Pacific
naval service is perhaps more important
than that in any other waters, and there
should be every facility for keeping II
in the best condition of readiness and
repair. The Puget sound station will no
doubt be the headquarters for the most
important naval force on the Coast, and
as new ships are built and put in COM
mission the demands upon the mechani-
cal departments of the station will be
such as call for the amplest facilities in
the way of shops and machinery There
Is an utter lack of proper equipment
at this time, and in view of present and
prospective necessities, it is not I'M
reasonable TO urge haste in supplying
the deficiencies.

Slightly Behind Time.

Tacoma is grieved because the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce has asked con-
gress TO establish a mint in this city.
and it Is intlmated that the only object
of our petition is to prevent the city on
Commencement bay getting similar
federal institution. This is sheer nom
sense. Ever since the government assay
office was established here and proved
such success in meeting the wants
OF mining men. there has been a de-
termined purpose to enlarge Its func-
lions by the establishment of a mint,
and the recent action of the Chamber
OF Commerce was in keeping with SINH
lar efforts made in the past. The au-
thorities at Washington were urged to
Seattle a mint city long before the Ia
coma mint bill was introduced in con-
gress and the matter had been well
considered here even before Tacoma had
been favored BY the choice OF one of her
citizens az a United States senator. The
mint project is not new one with our
people, and was given attention even
before the ASSAY office had entered upon
its remarkable career of usefulness.
Long ago Il vas suggested that II might
be desirable TO locate mint in the COM
mercial metropolis Of the Pacific North
west, and the people OF that metropolis
have not lost sight OF the matter since
It was FIRST brought up for discussion.
Fer Tacoma TO ask for a mint at this
time Is on a par with her request for
the establishment OF an army post AZ
Point Defiance after a post had been
located az Magnolia bluff and made
ready for the accommodation OF troops.
