sion among the cantaloupe grow
ers here that the associations up
the valley who contracted their
crop to Woods, of Denver, got a
better price for their melons, we
publish the following from the
Arkansas Valley Review, which
shows that the alleged big prices
were only a pipe dream: III.
Woods and Mr.. Bushman, Mr..
Woods successor i'll Denver, were
in the valley recently, making ar
ranrements for next years crop.
This season they handled the mel
ons of kouns Party, New Dale,
La Junta and Las Animas. The
Las Auimas association got an av-
eruge of 7S cents per crate net,
which was the highest average of
the associations which Mr.. Woods
contracted with. New Dale and
the Kouns Party each received 73
cents average and La Junta TAI
cents.

An Ancient Device.

Irrigation is not an invention: it
is older than the Christian era.
Babylon had an entire network of
irrigation bitches. There is in
Egypt to-day an irrigation canal
which is 1000 years old. In India
100000 acres are irrigated land
and it's irrigation system has cost
the government slOO,00O,0OO. 90
More than half the agriculture!
land in France is irrigated land,
three of their canal systems alone
cost S34 100000. It was the thrift
and success of the French farmers
that redeemed France from the
heavy idenlnity of $l.0O0,00O, 900
levied by Germany. Were it not
for it's irrigation canal Spain
would be nearly a desert The
larger part of Persia, Germany,
Austria. Turkey, Italy, Australia,
China and Japan are irrigated to
produce their great crops. There
are canals in Mexico that cost from
81 .0OO,0OO to $1,000, 600, and many
equally MS expensive are in opera
tion to-day in Utah. Colorado,
Idabo and California. According
to the United Sta'es census $50,
OUO,ON are invested in this .uun-
try in productive irrigation, the
returns from which during four
years have been $65, 100000, or
over 2lS percent--La Jnnta Trib-

Superintendent E. K. Chew, of
irrigation division No. 2, stated
last Saturday that the Arkansas
valley is at present in worse con-
dition for the want of water than
it has been for some time. There
are few of the bitches that have
any water at all and in some Sec
tions there is actual suffering for
want of water to drink. Wells
and cist.rhs are dry iii ma'sy in
stances, and the scnIci,y is b, iue
felt along all lincs.---Pueblo Chief
tain. If MIR. Chew meant TO in
clude the country under the Amity
canal in the above statement, he
is away of from the facts. This
country has all the water it can
use, and a great deal more, The
water comes from the great reser-
voirs north of Lamar, which con-
tains enough to supply the farm
crs for long time without draw
ing from the river.

Granite County,.

Especial to the Inter Mountain)

GOVERNED BY SPECIAL LAWS
Says Tracts in Bitter Root VAL
ley are Not Public

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Missoula, June PA decision of great
Importance has been received from the
commissioner of the general land office.
1t affects the status of all the lands
il the Bitter Root valley and is re-
versal of the former ruling of the gener-
al land office, which has been in effect
for about two years.
1t declares that the lands of the Bitter
Root valley are not public lands and
that they can only be filed upon accord
ing to the provisions of the special laws
that have been enatced relating to these
valley lands.
Local authorities have contended that
the ruling of the general land office
which permitted timber and stone en-
tries in the Bitter Root was not correct
and now the commissioner has revers-
ed himself and has come to the local
view of the case.
The case in which the decision is rem
dered is that of the timber and stone
entry of Jesse A. Porter. This is now
declared illegal.

1t is not believed there is serious dan

the conferences between the Amalga-

The flood in West Virginia will not
delay coke shipments from that import

Uneasiness has been caused by the re-
ports from England that steel billets
and wire rods were again being offered
from this side. This was construed as
an intimation that powerful interests
had evidence that there was danger OF
consumption here falling off later on.
1t is understood. however, that the
management of the United States Steel
corporation has decided to change the
policy pursued by constituent companies
in the past by selling abroad only when
relief was desirable.

New York, June 27.-The Iron Age IN
it's issue today says:
So far as the foundry iron trade is
concerned the markets have been rather
quiet and are still balancing.
Cincinnati, which is the chief dis
tributing point for southern iron. is
rather weak. In the east purchases of
basic pig by the leading steel interest.
bought for western and New England
delivery, are having their effect.
Among these sales is one lot of 5000
tons. In Pittsburg the larger outside
steel companies have taken round blocks
of Ressemer pig. Apparently. however.
it is only for prompt shipment that this
iron is wanted.
Consumption continues on large
scale, and there are those who feel con-
fident It is bound to continue up to the
top notch we'll into the winter months
In many lines, as in steel rails and In
railroad equipment generally. this Is
abundantly assured by the orders on the
books.
In structural material. in which there
was a lull in new orders, there is more
doing. Many very good contracts have
just been placed. among them one lot OF
10. 900 tons for improvements at the Pue-
bio works of the Colorado Fuel 4 Iron
company The same is true of the ship
yards on the lakes. which have just
booked additional tonnage.

New York, November 1.-The market was better this morning, 2 to points ad- vance taking place at the opening. The feeling was much better and houses with out of town connections were advising support of market within reasonable lim- it's, while some were quite bullish. In fact the concensus of opinion the mat ter of frost and receipts on a liberal scale have been pretty well discounted. Heavy frost reported at several points in Alabama, while rain at a number of places Is likely to retard the movement Cables were more satisfactory. Shorts here and at Liverpool were growing rest less and were covering in both markets Big buying orders came from the South and West and the receipts were small, only 47,000 bales being the extent of the day against 45,0O0. Liverpool reported an advance of points. Colder weather was indicated for Southwest. The fact that prices are so much lower than a year ago is enough to prevent further shrink age in values no matter how poor trade continues. It is hard to see a crop ahead of 105, GOO. 900 bales, and this Is certainly full estimate, judging from the best ob- tainable information. Disinterested ob- servers of wide experience here in watch ing and guessing on crop for many years believe the top crop question Is settled and that frost or no frost will not effect the final yield to the extent of 100 900 bales. The insight movement from Sep tember 1 to November and percentages compared with previous years Is: 1901, 2S41,613 against 3,033.552 last year. 2,S6l,- 235 in 1S99 324S, 491 in 1898 and 2,961, 1886 in 1897. The movement to November 1 this year was 07,0O0 bales less than 1898 and 1899, when the crop was Il, ,0000 bales the largest ever grown.

IMPROVEMENT IN
 COTTON MARKET Thoroughly Frightened Shorts
 Begin General Buying BEAR LEADERS ARE UNEASY Abundance of Bull News to Support the Upward Movement-Re-
 celpts Were Smaller Than
 i.1 Were Expected.
BEAR LEADERS ARE UNEASY

New York, November 14-The cotton market opened at an advance of to points and continued to improve through out the forenoon and in fact practically all the rest of the session on general buying by thoroughly frightened shorts. Even the bear leaders gave evidence of uneasiness and endeavored to get back cotton put out early in the week. On the advance Wall street, the South and Europe supported the market with great confidence, while selling was restricted to room operators having profits within easy reach.
 There was an abundance of bull news to support the upward movement. The receipts proved much smaller than ex- pected and brought out notifications of early estimates as to the net yield. The first furry of buying sent January to TBS and while there was several reactions later, the market invariably regained the setback on renewed general support from the bull side and nervous covering by bear leaders. The English news was emphatically bullish, the weather reports indicated lower temperatures with rain in important sections the estimates for tomorrow's receipts indicated further shrinkage in the movement while private advices from the South stated that ex- porters were large buyers of spot cotton at higher prices.
 The close was steady with prices net g to 12 points higher.
