The cultivation Of cotton in India
has attracted considerable attention
of late. The tone regarding it has
naturally enough been one of dlsap-
poln,mcnt at the fact that no progress
is being made. 1t is not likely that
there will be any change in the future,
as under all circumstances yet expert
enccd the yield per acre is much small,
cr in weight than is obtained in Amer.
ica, and, weight for weight, the pro-
duct is less valuable. This places the
Hindu cultivatOr at a serious disadvan'
tage, and renders it impossible for him
10 compete with any chance of success
against the American growths, especial
y since the value of the latter, through
a concurrence Of causes, has ruled so
low as during Tie past two or three
years. 1t is a great wonder that the
decline in the cultivation has not been
considerably more widespread.
Among the specimens Of the fowl
tribe to he seen at the poultry show
in New York is a white Plymouth Rock
rooster, not extraordinarily handsome
appearance, MOI yet magnetic to look
upon. However, this fowl is not
without value, its owner having been
offered $4,000 for the bird. White
Cloud is the name of the valuable
rooster, and in his time he has won ID
blue ribbons and the international cup
at the last poultry show in Toronto.
The cotton plant in Paraguay grows
the year around, favored throughout
each season by conditions of soil and
climate. After the cotton is picked
the plant is cut down and another
grown from the roots. Every two
years both plants and roots arc plowcd
and new plants started, finer grade
of cotton resulting.
Chemical examinations made IN the
laboratory of the University of Ur-
bana, H., have shown that soil IN
which for twcnty-four years Indian
corn has been annually 1aiscd showed
so per cent. more exhaustion than soil
on which for the same length of
up time there had been a rotation Of
crops.
The steel rail factories of the United
States have sold enough rails to make
full time for about nine months.
There are large advance orders in
most other branches of the iron and
steel industry, and prices, instead of
showing any tendency to react, are
still advancing.
The marketing of the dried fruit
crop Of California has been practically
placed under the control of the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Association.

RANTINE IS RAISED.

Reports from San Francisco are to
the effect that the buobonic plague
still exists there.
John r. Mobly. quarantine inspector
here, says that the authorities in San
Francisco have not openly acknowledge
ed that IL exists there but have taken
steps to prevent the spread of the dis
ease
They have ordered the STREETS and al
leys of the city to be cleaned and are
enforcing strict quarantine against
the Chinese part of the city.
No orders have been received from
DIR. Blunt in any way modifying the
quarantine and the superstition is that
it Will be kept for an indefinite time
yet. When the San Francisco author
tiles take the proper steps advised by
DR.. Blunt. the probabilities are that
the quarantine will be raised, but this
will not be for several weeks yet.

SHOOTING STARS
GREAT EXHIBITION MAY BE pUL-
LED OFF TONIGHT.
People Are Not Advised However to
Lose Any Sleep Waiting For the
Show, For the Astronimers Have
Often Created Only Dissapp olnf-
ment By their Forecasts.

| The New York Herald says that
| there will be an unusually brilliant
| shower of leonids or meteorS this
week.
| This is the shower that The Herald
spoke about last week. Have you seen
any stars shootin' this week? The
show was to take place either on the
| 18th. 18th. or 18th.
Tonight is the last night and the
one on which the show is most likely
| to come off, If il comes off at all
Ii is useless for the learned astron-
| omers to try to stir up the enthusiasm
of the writer to the extent of sitting
up all night to see the stars shoot,
| because last year he was among the
| many whom they induced to keep vigil
all night in order to see the show and
then they failed to pull off their pre-
cipitation of leonids and have been
held in silent contempt ever since.
Now they are out in a fresh an
nouncement that the star shower is
to take place this week. Perhaps it
has already taken place. If you saw
it. come around and tell The Herald
about it. or notify it by telephone.
Why il is that aerolites are always
a November luxurw, like buckwheat
cakes. hog sausage and chrysanthe-
NUNS. has never been clearly ex-
planned by the sky-sharps. Why should
| the public not have them when it is
| more comfortable and convenient to
remain out of doors all night to look
| for them? The astronomers seem to
| be as successful in bringing them to
view at one time as another, and this
being the case. il would not be imper-
| tinent to ask them to send the show
| when Ell Paso has a teachers conven-
ton in the summer months. when the
people could afford to sit up better,
Even if ii were colder. one night dur
| ing the carnival. for instance. Why
not have it pulled off Immediately af-
| ter the pseudo-volcano fickers and
goes out? All would be up then and
not miss il.
The only really superb pyrotechnics
of the heavens of this sort were the
falling stars of 1888. which were not
announced at all. They came in No
vember and were more startling than
the election returns. and in fact were
so appalling as to turn the attention of
the people to profound religious sub
jects. which is often the result of fright
But the fiasco of last November will
not encourage the belief that the phe-
nomenon of 1888 is to be repeated, and
IL is probable that no one will remain
up to see the leonids perform this week
or get out of bed to see them unless
he hears them rafting on the roof or
knocking the mortar out of the dolby"
walls.

GAME OF BALL
Unusually Fine Sport Promised For
Next Sunday

Athletics took a jump this morning
and some fine sport will be witnessed
at Athletic park next Sunday after
noon.
Word was received this morning that
Coach Rutherford would be with the
football boys Sunday and they will
meet at the park at 1: 80 sharp for prac-
tice and at 2 O'Clock will line up for the
game. At 3 o'clock the Colts will face
the strongest team seen in Ell Paso for
many a day.
There are in Ell Paso today nine pro-
fessional base ball players and the fun
ny part of IL is that they all play diff
ferent positions. Four OF them are
from the New York state league while
another is from the Tri-state league
in the east. Still aonther is from the
western league and two more are from
the Colorado state league. and FL Paso's
own Syke Young is the ninth player.
That the game will he we'll worth see
ing cannot be disputed for a moment
and the Colts will have to play ball
from the start to the finish.
Emmett Rogers. the famous catcher
who played with FL Paso in 1888 when
Chicago was defeated. will be behind
the bat for the All Stars and A. Ahorn
of the New York state league will do
the pitching. He was signed by Brook
lyn for next season and his work this
past season has been wonderful
The following will be the line up of
the All Stars: Rogers, catcher; a.
Ahorn. pitcher: Brown. first base:
Crotty. second base: Starkey. short
top: ZinZser. third base: Pliess, middle
field: Hale. right field: and Syke Young
left.
Jim Long. the wonderful south-paw
who did such fine work at Bisbee two
weeke ago. will be in the box for the
Colts and Captain Krause will be his
receiver.
An admission of % cents will be
charged at the gate. which will admit
one to witness the foot ball and base
ball games. The grand stand should
be packed as this will probably he the
last base ball game of the season. A
great many of the old timers will at
tend in body to root for Captain
Rogers OF the All Stars.

Mother Lode: The recent strike in
the Grizzly mine is having an enliven-
ing effect upon adjacent properties and
has sent its stock up several points.
The owners of the Bonita, the next
claimron the south, and the New AL
bany, which lies to the east, are bestir-
ring themselves, and it is probable
that work will commence on both prop
critics soon The new ledge in the
Grizzly is said to be ten feet wide and
literally specked with free gold. 1t
was found on the 700-foot level, and
guarantees the permanency OF the
mine.
County Surveyor Hopper has been
engaged this week in the survey of the
down for tie present and the shaft will
be pushed down from the 700 level. ~
few men have been laid off in the
Slopes.
The new drainage tunnel OF the Dead
Horse mine will be big piece of work.
IL will start from the river level on the
other side, and will drain the deepest
workings of the mine.
Independent: Gold in big chunks is
coming out Of the Hope, Sam Ralston' S
bonanza. The strike was made last
Wednesday evening in the extreme
breast of the main tunnel which is 575
feet long. The vein where the pay
chute was tapped showed twenty inches
of quartz. All Thursday the fine par
ticles of ore-sweepings-paid $40 pan.
The pocket will run away up into the

proceed. They have now a twenty
four-foot wheel almost completed and
will put in six or eight-inch pump,
which, it is thought, will be large
enough to contend with any body Of
water which they are likely to strike.
To start with, they have an incline of
about seventy feet, and calculate
that 100 feet more will strike bed rock.
Judging from indications in the past
there is scarcely any doubt but that L
