New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, September 20.-The de-
mand for spot cotton was fairly good,
but the movement was curtailed by the
difference in the views of buyers and
sellers as to the proper trading basis,
buyers being influenced by the some
what bearish sentiment shown by Liver
pool, demanding concessions which fac
tors declined to make. Sales 1850 bales,
including 1900 to arrive. Quotations I'M
changed.
A very fair business for a Saturday
short session was done during the fore
noon in the line of contracts with floor
traders having all the best of the trans
actions owing to the frequent and mod
erately wide fluctuations. The market at
Liverpool was down Lied on spots and
81 to 412-64 on deliveries, which natur-
ally exerted a somewhat depressing in
fluence on this side, and brought about
Il responsive opening decline of to 5
points. Prices were well supported after
the morning call, however, by the fong
element, and Notwithstanding an evident
growing confidence on the part of the
bears the decline was checked. There
after prices moved back and forth over a
range of 4 to points without any very
definite tendency in either decision until
just prior to the closing, when. a rather
sharp advance was recorded. The net re-
suit of the days operations showed gains
over yesterdays prices of to points
on all months.

Camping Out.

a man was wandering in the vicinity
OF Alkali lake. He was from Briggs
mining camp. The boss had been
away good while, and as grub was
short, he was looking up the prospects
for ducks.
While he was looking up the pros
poets, he CHANGED also to look np a
mountain There he saw, on an ex-
treme summit, a tent, and a man in
front of it. The man had a gun and
was slowly revolving about, facing all
points of the compass.

tor, ''if this don't beat any sort of duel.

A Big Machine.

A big machine is expected at the
Dangberg ranch in about ten days. 1t
is a traction engine for blowing and
seeding land and grubbing sagebrush.
The machinery weighs over fifteen
tons and represents an investment of
about So, 600. 1t is calculated to pillow
and seed forty acres of land day.
1t operates number of plows and
harrows and seeds the ground at the
same time. The manufacturers will
bring the machine here and operate it
ten days, and if it works satisfactorily

The report that the engine would be
used to haul freight between here and
Carson is a mistake II is intended for
use only on the Dangberg' ranches.
The engine can also be used in the
construction of irrigation bitches and
it is expected that it will do this work
to perfection in lively manner. 1t

A Strange Case.

A lett6f~from San Francisco states
that Sam Longabaugh's eyes which
were reported better some time ago,
are now, if anything, worse than ever
and that his return to Nevada has been
indefinitely postponed.
The story of Mr.. Longabaugh's mis-
fortune will be interesting to those
who favor the dog as pet. Mr. Lon
gabaugh was running wood camp at
Ophir, near Washoe city and was pros
pering exceedingly and facilitating
himself upon the circumstance that he
would be able to retire from active
life in a short time and take life easy.
His work obliged him to be up early,
and he congratulated himself upon be-
ing the owner of a small dog, pet,
which slept in the same room. The
dog used to awake early, and would
arouse Longabaugh by frisking about
his head or licking his eyes.
One day his eye began to bother
him. It became slightly red and in
famed and hurt slightly. He paid no
attention to the matter for some time
but presently the inflammation became
more aggravated and the eyelids
greatly swollen. He thought he had
been stung by gnat or some other
venomous insect aud went to Carson
for medical attendance. The physi-
clans there were unable to give him
any relief, and his case grew worse
daily. He then went to San Francisco
and he has been there ever since last
summer. Although the doctors have
been unable to cure him they have
agreed upon the cause of his misfor.

colosis of the eyes, and that the deadly
germs that have robbed him of his
sight entered the eyes undoubtedly

President Roosevelt Shows an Interest.


WASHINGTON, March 3.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt to-day had an extended
interview with Representative Mon
dell, member of the House Com
mittee on Arid Lands, on the subject
of irrigation and the preservation of
forest reserves, which he had recon-
mended for consideration in his mes
sages.
Mr.. Mondell is close friend of Rep
resentative Newlands, who is working
zealously for the passage of the arid
lands bill, and presented in large meas
ure the viewsof Mr.. Newlands.
The President desired to hear what
were the chances for the passage of the
bill in the House, where there is con-
siderable factious opposition from such
men as Grosvenor, Dalzell, Cannon
and Payne. The President has, how
ever, beaten this committee before,
Mr.. Mondell informed the President
that he had been instructed by the
other members of the committee to
make favorable report on the New
lands bill for irrigation, which was
agreed upon early in the session at a
conference of the delegations from the
arid land States on the Pacific Coast.
A similar bill was passed by the Senate
on Saturday, and it is said to meet in
every way the wishes of the President.
An effort will be made to have con
sideration of the bill in the House fixed
for an early date

The Earning Capacity of Farm Lands.

The Earning Capacity of Farm Lands.
The quality of an investment de-
ponds on its present and prospective
earning capacity, be that investment
live stock, railway stock, industrial
stock, lands or notes. The earning
capacity of farming land is something
not to be counted apart from the per-
sonality of the owner. It has in it
interesting possibilities limited only
by the limit of the ability of the owner
to make it earn. This is in itself an
attractive feature to the ambitious
farmer.
When farm land will in the poorest
crop years make living for the owner,
and in most fortunate years yield from
500 to 5000 per acre; as instanced many
times in the news columns of this paper,
the demand for good farm lands is ex-
planned. Certainty of living with
the possibility of competency is the
Investment offer par excellence. It
surpasses the most glittering specula-
tive offer that carries with it q posi-
bility of total loss.-Commercial West.
