SHIP MUCH COTTON.
Puget Sound Ports Leave San Fran
cisco Far Behind.

Seattle, Oct. 15.-It is a fact not
generally known that Puget sound is
rapidly forging to the front in the mat
ter of exporting cotton. The first ship
ment of cotton to the Orient left Puget
Sound in 1896, and did not amount to
much. but since the establishment Of
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha line, the ex-
ports have doubled in nearly every
year, until now Puget Sound exports
more than three times as much cotton
as San Francisco, and the business is
increasing right along.
Six years ago Puget Sound exported
1881, 1853 pounds of cotton, while for
the eight months this year the ship
ments amounted to SO, $685. pounds.
This increase has been unifrom in the
years intervening, showing that the
growth is steady one and of perma-
nent character. The cotton goes to
China and Japan, where it is manufac-
tured, and with the introduction of i'm
proved machinery into Japan, the
amount of cotton exported will increase
year by year.

MITCHELL MAKES REPLY.
Tells President of Call For Conven.
ton of Miners.

Tells President Of Call For Conven.
ton of Miners.
Washington, D. c., Oct. lS.-The
response of John Mitchell, president Of
the United Mine Workers. to President
Roosevelt's notification that he had
appointed commission, has been made
public.
1t informs him of the action of the
executive board of Districts l, Z, aud 8
in calling convention and agreeing to
recommend unanimously the resump-
ton of work and the submission of the
differences between the operators and
the mine workers of the anthracite coal
fields" to the commission.
The reply expresses confidence that
the convention will agree to the arbitra-
ton of the "eminent and impartial
men" chosen by the president, and ex-
presses gratitude to the president | for
his patriotic efforts to bring about an
honorable settlement OF the strike.
The reply goes at length into the
grievances of the miners and concludes
with the expression of the hope and be-
lief that "from this arbitration will
! come a complete, satisfactory and per-
manent solution of the troubles which
have vexed the anthracite field from
time immemorial.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. 16.-At l
o'clock Mitchell gave out the following
statement:
"Appreciating the anxiety and inn
patience of the public and the mine
workers for an authoritative statement
from this Office, I issue this bulletin to
say that was unalterably opposed to
the acceptance or even acquiescence OF
the form Of settlement proposed by the
operators, because it restricted Presi-
dent Roosevelt in selecting men to de-
termine the questions involved. These
restrictions having been removed, and
representation given organized labor on
the arbitration committee, as we'll as
organized capital, am now prepared
to give my personal approval to any
settlement of the issues involved which
may be made by the commission select
ed by the president, and shall recon-
mend to the executive officers of dis
trict in their meeting, that an immed-
late call be issued for the convention
whose authorization is necessary to de-
clare the strike ended. In the mean
time I trust the people of our country
will be as patient as possible, as all
things are now moving as rapidly as the
interests of our men permit"

TO MAKE A START.
Secretary Of Interior Will Soon
Announce Where First Irri-
cation Plant Will Be.

Washington, Oct. Is. - Sometime
within the next two weeks the secre-
tary of the interior will decide where
the first experiments in government
assisted irrigation will begin. He will
be guided in the decision by the recon-
mendations of Prof. Newell of the geol-
ogical survey, who has been travelling
all summer and fall in the irrigation
region, looking over the ground and
directing the work of a force of en-
gineers, surveyors and photographers.
The practical determination is with
Prof. Newell, though Mr.. Hitchcock
gives his Official approval. Until the
official announcement is made the de-
partment is carefully guarding any in
formation as to the location of the
pioneer plant.
Unusual caution is being observed in
everything relating to the beginning OF
the work, for it is known that the eyes
of the country will be upons.this enter
prise, and any mistake resulting in
failure would put an end, for the
present at least, to subsidized irriga-
ton. On the other hand, if this ex-
pertinent is success, if the plant pays
or is put on self-supporting basis, it
is expected that there will be generous
appropriations every year by congress
to push the work ahead. Secretary
Maxwell of the National Irrigation
Association says frankly that he ex-
poets congress will soon be appropriate
ing as much money for irrigation as
for rivers and harbors.
Prof. Newell says there is no haste
about starting new enterprises. One
plant will provide lands for great
number of settlers and he would have
each settlement we'll populated before
providing new lands.

operators. Assent of the miners was

Mr.. Sargent commissioner of immigra-
ton, and Of the operators through
Messrs. Robert Bacon and George W.
Perkins, of the banking firm of j. P.
Morgan & Co. The final outcome fol-
lowed series of conferences, beginning

Opening of Reservation for Mineral
Location.

Warrington, Oct. 15.-Agent Ander-
son, of the Colville Indians, in Wash
ington, has reported to the commission
er of Indian affairs that the Spokane
Indians, who are comparatively poor,
seem to be in danger of losing large
part of their reservation. The agent
says this danger is the result OF the
congressional opening of their land to
mineral location and entry after the
Indians receive allotment of land in
seveialty.
Owing to the way in which the
various provisions of the bill were
passed and approved, the reservation
was actually open to mineral location
and entry for short time last May,
during which vested rights in large
group of mineral claims were roquired
and a determined effort has been made
to wrest the lands from the Indians.

GREAT INCREASE SHOWN.
Gain in the Business Of Land Office
at Walla Walla.

Walla Walla, Oct. 17.-Last quarter
the local land Office made record in
its business. There was handled $780,
30l .33 in cash, against $S,490.13 for
the same quarter last year. This is a
splendid showing and is accounted for
by the rush for lands in Adams and
Franklin counties during the past year.
Homesteads to the number of 91S were
entered. while thirty-eieht final proofs
were made. The record for the past
year has been good, exceptionally good
in fact, and it promises to be kept up
for year or two yet.
