There is peculiar lacquered yellow

A Cotton Trade Crisis.


The interests of the cotton world are closely
involved in the question-Iow long will the
China troubles lastY prolongation OF the pres
ent struggle might produce enormous injury to
one OF our greatest industries and throw out Of
employment in Lancashire alone hundreds Of i ou-
sands Of mill operatives
Since March, when signs Of unrest bess. to
manifest themselves in China. hundreds OF the
little cotton mills which sprung up all over
Japan after the Chino-Japanese war, have been
shut down. and in India hundreds Of the cotton
mills working short time
And now comes the news that several Lam
easl!ire cotton mills have been obliged to close
their doors, and that cotton manufacturers. cot
ton brokers and cotton shippers are full OF anx-
ieiy as to what the end viii be.
Shanghai occupies 4 central position in the
Chinese cotton trade the bulk Of the manufac-
tined cotton goods exported from England being
shipped there for distribution inland. There. too.
every year, in the early autumn stored thou
sands OF tons OF cotton goods with which to feed
the northern ports Of China before they become
ioebound
The gravity Of the situation may. therefore.
be gathered from the fact that, owing TO the
difficulties native traders az present find in trad
ing with the inland provinces, more cotton goods
nave already accumulated at Shanghai than can
be properly warehoused, Several large shipments
OF cotton goods have been held at Hongkong till
such time as the renewal 81 trade with the in

The Red Wing Republican say

The Red Wing Republican says
that at Winona an experiment is be-
ing made with electric gongs at the
railroad crossings. These ring when
the train is certain distance from
the crossing. The Milwaukee road
was required by the council to erect
gates and the company claims that
entire satisfaction has been given.
The gong is erected on a pole at the
crossing and is 80 connected that as
a train enters q section of the track
beginning about two. blocks from
the gong the bell rings. The ringing
is continued until after the train
has passed. The only expense to
this system is the first cost of the
erection of the gongs and what little
repairing is necessary to keep them
in working order. 1t is very small
as compared with the maintenance
of gates. II the gongs give satisfac-
ton it is probable that a number of
them viii be erected. 1t seems that
this method Of warning people OF the
approach of trains should be intro
duced In all the smaller cities where
traffic does not warrant the main-
tenance of gates.

Dead-and- Down Operations.

+ Washington special: There is pros.
pect that dead and down timber
operations may be authorized on the
coded Chippewa reservations in Min
nesota. Rules and regulations gov.
erning the cutting of the dead and
down timber on the diminished
White Earth and Red Lake reserva.
tions have been prepared.
The operations are to be condu cted
by Agent Mercer Of Leech Lake, who is
an experienced lumberman. The lum-
Der is to be cut by Indian labor and
will be sold by bank scale to the
highest bidder. This plan was de-
cided upon by the officials after full
consideration Of the matter, and it is
understood that it is only under
such circumstances that secretary
Hitchcock would give the operations
his approval. The plan adopted is
similar to that recommended by
Capt. Mercer for Leech Lake, the
proposition to sell the timber to the
highest bidder being particularly
we'll received at the department.
The statement was made today
that Secretary Hitchcock may ap-
prove the sale OF dead-and.down
timber not only at Leech Lake but
On the coded portions of the Chippc-
wa reservations. The secretary is
convinced that it would he good

Der now that prices are good instead
of waiting until it has detertorated

ton on certain :: points involved be-
fore any further action is taken. r.

Doubts Ferris Candidacy.

Minneapolis Tribune: 1t can be
taken as u fact that A. F. Ferris,
Brainerd, is not a candidate for the
speakership Of the house. all reports
to the contrary notwithsta nding.
The movement in Mr.. Ferris's inter-
est was inaugurated by some Of his
warmest friends. but evidently with
out consultation with him and has at
no time recei we'd his sanction. When
the story was made public Mr.. Ferris
was hunting in the woods of North
ern Minnesota and he has not been
at home long enough to state the
position which he really occupies.
From one who knows, however, The
Tribune learns that Mr.. Ferris is al
ready obligated to the candidacy of
Geo. r. Laybourn, Duluth-that his
support fs absolutely pledged to
Laybourn in fact-and with all who
are acquainted with Mr.. Ferris and
know the absolute honesty and upA
Brightness OF his character, this will
be sufficient to cause them to take him
out OF the speakershtp race without
further question.
1t Is now beginning to be believed
that an attempt has been made to
use Mr.: Ferris name in shrewd
little game of politics. Just what
was aimed at is still unknown, but
1T is suspected that some important
Craftsmanship was involved.

Mr.. ruttre was an early settler Of
Morrison county and was known by
many Of our people. Mr.. N. Rich
ardson has kindly furnished the fol-
10 wing in regard 70 his life:
But little is known OF his boyhood
days. While Il young man he learned
the carpenter and millwright trade.
He was one the early pioneers OF the
state and territory Of Minnesota.
BY consulting the history OF Mimi
sofa we find that he arrived at 1T.
Smelling on the steamer Palmyra
July Is, 1888, which had on board
the machinery for a saw mill to be
erected by the Northwest Lumber
ing company. at the Falls OF St.
Croix, the construction OF which
was supervised by him Soon after
he went to Rockford, Ill. While
there, in 1910, he was married to
Charlotte Minklee. The next account
we have OF him he was the first
treasurer of the territory OF Mime
sofa in 1S49. Prior to this time he
settled at st. Anthony (now Mime
apolis) taking claim on the east
side OF the Mississippi that is now
nearly in the heart Of the city. He
was. from that time up to the finsn-
cial crash of 1857, one of the most
intiuen tial and wealthy men in Min
nesOta. In 1854 he became associated
with James Fergus and VIM. Sturgis
and the three formed the Little Falls
company. In 1861 he left st. An
thony and settled on the west bank
OF the Mississippi. in the town Of
Two Rivers, this county, where he
resided until 1889, when he removed
to Pasadena, Cal, at which place
his wife died in 1895. Shortly after he
moved tn Los Angeles and resided
with Elijah Griffith, Il son-in-law,
until his d. ath. MIR. Tuttle's family
consisted OF his wife aud seven chill
dren; three SONS, all OF whom are
now dead. and four daughters, all of
whom are now married. One is
the wife OF. r. Graham and resides in
this city.
He was buried by the side of his
beloved wife in the city Of Pasadena,
Cal. His name will ever appear in
the history Of Minnesota as one of
it's most energetic and trustworthy
citizens. Mr.. Tutt]e and his family
were always highly esteemed by the
com munity in which they lived. His
surviving daughters have the sym
pathy in their sad bereavement of
all with whom they are acquainted,
many OF whom reside in this county.
