REPORT ON THE BILL FOR THE APPA-
LACHIAN PARK.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Senator
Pritohard from the Committee on
Forest Reser vations yesterday pre-
sented a written report on the bill
appropriating $4,000, 900 for the
creation of d National forest reserve
in the South Appalachian region, as
authorized by the committee several
days ago.
The report urges the establishment
Of the reserve, the protection of the
timber and the conservation of the
waters of the land embraced within
it's proposed area, placing the dam
age done by floods arising in that
area in the year 1901 at SIS, 900, 900.
It is claimed chat the land to be in
cluded Can be purchased for from
81 to So per acre.
One point made in support of the
bill Is that in the Southern Appa-
laohian mountains there is a greater
variety of hardwood trees and greater
remains Of the primeval forests than
in any other territory of like size in
the Eastern States The contention
also is made that it has the highest
and largest mountain east of the
Mississippi, the heaviest rainfall on
the continent except along the North
ern Pacific coast, and that conse
and that consequently the washing
away OF the soils of the region Can
only be prevented by keeping them
coverei with forests.
"The absence from this region of
lakes and gravely soils such as
abound in the Northern States, and
these serve to store the rains and
give uniformity to the flow of
streams" the report continues, "ren-
ders the perpetuation of those South
ern forests absolutely necessary for
the protection of both the soils and

Changed From Tenth Place to Third in Cotton
Manufacturing in Ten Years.
Washington dispatch A report
On manufacturing for the State of
North Carolina has been made public
and shows Ii capital of $76, sos, 1874 in
vested in manufactures and mechani-
cal industries in the 1926 establish
ments in State. The value of the
products is given as 1914, 919, 663, to
produce which involved an outlay of
81, 434, 621 for salaries, $13, 968, 43O for
wages, $9,118,6 37 for miscellaneous
expenses and $53, O72, 1888 for mate
rails used.
The bulletin shows that the manu-
facture of cotton goods is the most
important industry in the State. The
177 establishments reported in 1900
gave employment to 3O,273 wage
earners, or 40 9 per cent of the wage
employed in the State, and
products were valued at $28, 1872, 798,
or % 9 per cent of the total value of
the products of the State. In 1890
there were 81 establishments, 8,515
wage earners and products valued
at $~9,t63'443. The increase in the
value of products during the decade
was SIS, 8O9, 355, or 1876 z per cent
The bulletin says further:
THE growth of the manufacture
Of cotton goods has been steady since
1850. T1o period both of greatest
absolute increaEe and of greatest
percentage OF increase in the value
of products was during the decade
ending with 1900. In 1890 the State
was tenth in rank IN this manufao-
ture in the United States it is now
third, Massachusetts being frat and
South Carolina second In 1890
among Southern States it ranked
third it is now second, South Caro-
lima preceding it, and Georgia taking
third place. Although second in
value of products, it is first in mum
Der Of establishments, in average
number of employees and in total
wages paid. The amount Of cotton
consumed yearly by the spindles
now running is nearly equivalent TO
the annual cotton crop Of the State,
which in 1899 was 473, 1876 CONNER
cial bales.
1.-THE manufacture of lumber and
timber products rank second among
the industries of the State, with 1, 77O
establishments, 1851 wage earners
and products valued at $14, 862, 593
In 1890 there were 713 establish
ments, 6,466 wage earners and pro
ducts valued at S., 898, 742. The in
crease in the value of products dur
ing the decade was So, 1858, s51, or 152
per cent. The growth of this indus
try during the last two decades has
been remarkable"

OUR PURCHASE OF DARIsB WEST INDIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The treaty
between Denmark and the United
States for the sale of the Danish
West Indies is quite a lengthy doou-
ment and it's essential features have
already appeared in print. A vote
of the people of the Danish West In
dies is not a condition precedent to
the ratification of the treaty between
the United States and Denmark for
the sale to this government of st.
Thomas, st. John and st. Croix. The
treaty does not provide for a plebis-
cite. The sum to be paid for the

IMPORTING COTTON SEED,

American Product Being Purchased in Ku-
rope and Reshipped.
A New York special to New Or
leans Times Democrats says:
Cotton seed that was originally
bought in this country is still being
reshipped from Europe in large guam
titles. Wen the first few ship.
ments of American seed were made
from Europe it was not thought that
this would continue except in isoIa-
ted cases. 1t begins to look low,
however, as though the cruehers of
the Eastern part of the country will
have to look so Europe for their seed
until navigation On the lakes is re-
sumed.
The crop Of this country for 1901
has almost been absorbed already,
and at none Of the initial markets
can a supply be secured. Usually
the crushers have a surplus on hand

TO Europe for a further supply. This
would seem 20 Indicate that Ill enor,
nous consumption is anticipated by
the crushers.
The American demand on the for
eign markets has advanced prices
materially on Calcutta and La Platt
seed for immediate shipment. The
American buyers are apparently not
looking for future seed in the for
eign market, but simply for seed for
immediate use. When sufficient
seed has been secured from Europe
to supply the crushers until the re-
of navigation, it is thought
that the demand will cease.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The Indus.
trial Commission has submitted it's
final report TO Congress. The first
part, which has been made public,
deals with the progress of the ma
ton, agriculture, mining and trans
pOrtatiOn. Recommendation are
made on the subjects of t~ransporta-
ton and agriculture. The commits
sion recommends as to transporta-
tons:
"That the policy of Governmental
supervision and control of railroads,
as originally laid down in the Senate
Committee report of 1885, and en-
bodied the following year in the in
ter, state commerce act, be revived
an dstrengthened that the authority

protection of shippers, clearly in.

law be reported, and that the
powers and functions of the
commission be enlarged practica lily
as contemplated in the 80. called Cul.
lum Bill of 1900, except as to author
ity to prepare and enforce a uniform
classification.
"'That to further the effectiveness
of the commission, it's membership
should be directly representative of
the various interests concerned, in
the persons of shippers or business
men, traffic experts Grail and wate1),
and men of legal training, and the
number of commissioners should be
increased te seven.
> "That legislation analogous to the
anti stock watering statutes Of Mas
saohusetts be enacted by the several
States.
'Tha5 railroad companies be pro-
hibited by law from making lower
freight rates upon imports billed to
the interior of this country, in con.
nection with cea transportation or
otherwise, than are made on similar
articles from the seaboard to interior,
or than are made from one inland
point to another when the distance ia
not greater"
Prefacing it's recommendations re-
garding agriculture the commission
says that agriculture has derived
more benefit from the establishment
of the Department of Agriculture
and from it's administrative work
than from any other Federal Iegisla-
ton. 1t makes a number of recon-
m~endations, including the following:
That increased appropriations be
made by the Congress for building
sample structures of improved roads
in various sections of the country, so
as to encourage the more rapid con
struction of such roads at State and
local expense.
That the sy stem of free rural de.
livery he extended as recommended
by the Postmaster General in his
latest annual report.
That the policy Of setting aside
forest reserves, already inaugurated,
be extended.
