Size of Cotton Crop,

The census office, in it's final report of the cotton crop, puts it at 10,S27, ,16S bales. The count was made at 32,753 ginneries, of which number 30,94S were in operation in the present cot ton year. The listing of glnneries by the census bureau is believed to be full and complete. Paid agents can vassed every cotton-growing county, having in their hands all available lists of ginneries, including those compiled by the census enumerators of 1900, the commercial agencies, the cottonseed oil manufacturers, and the lists of the agricultural department, and it Is believed that the ginneries are now fully listed
 The census bureau ascertained the crops in this way:
 Square bales .........,,.. 9,992,665 Round bales, reduced one
 half 490,632 Sea Island ................ 104,953 Linters 196, ,233
 Total -... O,7S4 ,4S3
 When all are put in bales of 500- pound standard, the total commercial crop Is found to be 10,S27 ,16S bales. When expressed in 500-pound bales Alabamas crop is put at 956,215, or about 100000 bales short of her cus- tomary crop. Both Georgia and Mis- sissippi had large crops, but the Ala bama crop was, roundly speaking, 10 per cent short.

Malabe point is located to the south

points are to be erected warehouses
for the storing of grain. 1t is estimat-

SANTA ROSA THE CENTER.
Santa Fe Surveyors at Work on the
New Cut-OH.

"A corps of Santa Fe surveyors ar
rived in Santa Rosa last week" says
the Santa Rosa Sun. They have
struck camp, and are already doing
the preliminary work to complete a
survey for the long-talked-about cut
eff. The survey will be made from
Santa Rosa as nearly on a straight
line as the topog -pny of the country
will permit TO Liberal, Kan, to connect
at that point with the survey already
made to Dodge City. 1t is said by
those in a position to know, that the
surveyed line from Abo Pass to a con-
nection with the Pecos Valley road
has been abandoned. II will be re-
m~embered that that survey crossed the
Santa Fe & Northeastern at Llano. A
more recent survey from Abe Pass has
been made down the Pintada canyon
to Santa Rosa, and will cross the river
on the new bridge just north OF the
Rock Island & FL Paso here. This is
Official. 1t is too bad for the prospects
of Tucumcari that this important rail
road improvement will miss that town
by more than a score OF miles, but
then they have the Choctaw, now
building into their town, and it Is well
for them TO get out of that all the com
forts they can. for after it is built, the
Choctaw trains will be made up at
Santa Rosa, running in connection
with the El Paso & Northeastern to
avoid a second change Of passengers
and freight. This arrangement has al
ready been entered into by the officials
OF the two companies"

James G. BIaine's Lifelong Project is
Taking Tangible Form.

Papers for the Incorporation of the
Great Central Railroad company have
been forwarded to the secretary of
state of Maine. The project is to
build from the head of navigation on
the Coco river, Nicaragua, to connect
with the National railway of Managua,
while a main line will be built through
Honduras into Salvador. The capital
stock is $4,000 900.
Possibly before the close of this year
definite form may be given to the life
long project of James G. Blaine to
build a Pan-American road by which
trains will run from New York to
Buenos Ayres.
Andrew Carnegie and other million
aires are known to be interested in the
project, which has been declared feas-
ible but costly.

returns have expressed the opinion
that it would he a paying investment,

It is estimated that when the road is
finished it will take over two weeks

the trip. but will bring the tourist in

CAN'T SERVE TWO MASTERS.
Trades Unionism Considered DisIoyaI
by the Australian Government.

In view of the complete victory of
the government over the strikers, the
following from the Railway Age on
the Australian situation is of interest:
Government railway ownership is
again shown to be no panacea against
labor troubles by the strike of loco
motive engineers in the Australian
state of Victoria. AS in Holland, where
the recent strike proved a failure. the
government lakes the stand that the
employees of state railways are public
servants n must not be subject to
any authority which may require them
to be disloyal. The Victorian engin-
eers having affiliated themselves with
the trades hall, the center of trades
unionism in the colony. the govern
ment notified them to withdraw. for
the reason that in case of a strike in
other trades the affiliated railway men
would be obliged to strike In sym
pathy. The government does not APP
pear to have objected to the existing
association of railway engineers, and
the men seem to have had no ON
plant as to wages or other conditions.
but they struck on May 8 rather than
relinquish their alliance with trades
unionism generally. The railway sys-
tenn of Victoria, all owned by the gov
eminent, represents owe 5000 miles
of lines, having about II. 900 employees.
The strike seems to have succeeded at
first, so far as to stop traffic through
out the colony and to throw thousands
of workmen besides the railway men
into idleness. but the destruction OF
business Is now stated to be turning
public sympathy from the strikers, and
some acts of violence. such as the de-
