Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, is one of
the directors in the American
Cotton Company, a corporation
with 800 plants in the cotton
states and controlling the round
bale process, says the St. Louis
Glebe-Democrat. The Arneri-
can Cotton Company is shown
to have an omnivorous appetite
for smaller concerns and for MOE
opeliziug an important industry.
Senator Jones is not disposed to
let the Tammany ice trust put
on airs over the western branch
of the democratic party. His
cotton bale trusts is one. of the
fattest monopolies yet taken into
the courts.

River Conditions.

The water in the Willamette
is now lower than it has been for
years and it is reported that
when the water is turned through
the locks at Oregon City the
Willamette Falls go out of ex-
istence for the time being. Capt.
Galbraith, of the Mathloma, is
reported as doing excellent work
at Lambert's in building wing
dams, etc., and is materially inn
proving the condition there.
The channel is becoming deeper
and it is said that there are now
80 inches of water at this place,
which makes it less difficult for
boats to pass over the bar at this
point. From Lamberts, Capt.
Galbraith will 60 to Eldridge
bar, where he will commence
work that is sadly needed. The
Improvement of the Willamette
river is of interest to every resi-
dent of the valley, as it is one of
the main arteries of commerce,
On the waters of which is yearly
foated to market thousands of
dollar, worth of produce. Few
people realize the importance of
keenino the Willamette open
and in best possible condition
for navigation.
