100000 Minnie Lopez, who kept a
bakery on the bank Of the creek, was
drowned early in the day. The down
pour and the cloudburst above the
village turned the creek into tor
rent. The water rose very rapidly
and was several feet deep on the low
lands before any one realized the
danger. Miss Loper's bakery was
swept apart. Miss Loper's body was
recovered. AT Yorkshire, two miles
below Arcade, the approaches to the
bridge were washed away, but the
bridge 10 standing. Miles Of roadway

RUSH TOR GOLDFIELDs.
Stampede fer Alaska and the Klondik=
 Unusually Heavy.

Seattle. March 24.-Not in four yea : has there been such q rush to Alaska and the British Yukon as this season. The heavy travel. those at all familiar with nOrthland affairs say. means a more extensive development of the min ing resources of that region than ever before.
 Everything indicates that the gold output of Alaska in 1902 will be larger than in any preceding year. The klon- di.e, too. will doubtless close the sea son with as great a yield of gold as the district has given in six years Of existence as a gold producing camp. Indeed 1922 may be the banner year. Nome. the kOyokuk. Panama. Manook. POrcupine and Cooks Inlet. all placer camps, will turn out more gold than ever before, and the precious metal output oi the quartz mine district Of southeastern Alaska gives promise ot being at least a third larger than in 1901. This year the heavy travel In: st in q month earlier than usual. Since January l more people have de- I.arted for southeastern Alaska and .!.e Yukon than in any lilla period since 1S9S

THE COTTON CROP OF TEXAS
Fine Plant In Bigger Counties,
But Fruitage Small.

The Dallas News of today gave
its report of the condition of cotton
In the state for the month of August.
Reports from 400 correspondents
in 145 counties make yields of the
state 10 per cent decrease from last
year.
Commenting on the report the
News says:
'sThe ultimate outcome of the
crop depends largely on frost, but in
many localities that will make no
difference, as the weevils are sting
ing new bolls as fast as they appear.
A good fall crop could probably be
made II not for this, and will be
made in some sections where the
weevil is not at work.
1.-THE plant In the bigger cotton
growing counties is worthy of a
bumper yield, but owing to weevfls,
worms and sharpshooters the
amount OF cotton is wholly dispro-
portionate to the size of the plant.
In western and southwestern coun-
ties insufficient rain has cut the
crop materially. BraZos floods re-
duced the yield greatly on over
flowed land.
The following repots were made
from Ellis county.
"Ennis-The July rains caused
cotton to put on stalk, and mp TO
two weeks ago worms or other
causes kept the stalk from fruiting.
The greater part Of the crop it is
thought, will not yield more than a
bale 10 Gve or six acres. The de-
crease III yield is estimated at not
less than p and probably - Is per
| cent. Some late cotton will make
half bale TO the acre in the event
( of late frost.
Ferris-~The cotton crop over this
portion of Ellis county will turn out
about the same as last year. For
quite "A WbtLEs MhEA ltt1 IAdLt III "a
began putting on fruit, it appeared
that the yield would be much greater
than last year, but the drouth has
greatly damaged our prospects. We
have had only one really good rain
since it came up; but for few light
showers cotton would have been a
complete failure.
ItaIy-It is hard to make anything
like correct estimate on cotton
crop, The bulk Of it is yet in the
future. The drouth, hot winds and
worms destroyed about all Of the
early crop. The stalk is large and
Is fruiting we'll, but there is still
some complaint Of the pests. There
/ is good season in the ground and
with late fall the yield may be as
good or better than last season,
Receipts last season, $500 bales.
Receipts September q, 1901, 1871

bales, against 24s same date this

bales, against 249 same date this
year.
Midlothian-The cotton has fine
large stalk well fruited In light land
but in the heavy black land the boil
worm has almost completely des-
troyed the fruit. From a careful
investigation 1t Is readily seen that
the farmers believe.that with a late
fall larger yield will be realized
this fall than last, but not enough
to be of much Importance to the far
mer, and there seems to be larger
acreage, including the late summer
planting, which is yet undeveloped.
Milford-The cotton crop here is
very spotted. Some crops on thin
ner land the yield viii be good On
very deep black land worms have
been very bad and crops light. In
all about 10 per cent less than last
year.
Palmer-Cotton is conceded to be
about 10 per cent short from last
season. Corn is almost total loss.
There Is an increase in sorghum,
alfalfa. The late planting of June
corn is almost a failure on account
of the dry weather.
Waxahaehie-The cotton in this
section, which had been seriously
injured by the boil worms, has inn
proved slightly since the rains of
the past week and the plant shows
an Improvement in the number of
squares and bolls. The estimated
| yield up to this time has been about
half crop. What increase will be
! put on by reason Of the rains and
decrease in damage by boil worms
| is problematical, though it can be
said the prospects are some better.
A conservative estimate places the
yield at about 65 per cent of the
crop uf last year.
