Ginning Statistics for 1908.

Ginning Statistics for 1908.
Circulars have been received in
this county from the United States
census Office outliviug the plan to be
adopted during the current year for
collecting cotton ginning statistics, a
work which is, in this county, in
charge of Hon. D F Efrd.
The census Office is already per
fectlpg ll.us for more frequent re-
ports in connection with the crop Of
1903. Its first report on that crop
Will cover all the cotton ginued, OF
the yours growth, up to and inc'ud-
ing September 1. This portion Of
each years crop is now assigned, il
the commercial estimates, to the pro
duction OF the previous year by rea-
son of the fact that the commercial
cotton year ends September 1.
The second ceDsus report Of the
crop of 1903 will include all Gotten
zlnDed up to and including October
Is of this year. THIS is tie date of
the first report on the crop of 1902,
and thus an exact comparison of the
quantiIy ginned on that date in the
two seasons will be achieved. The
third report will cover the cotton
giuned up to and including Novem-
o.r 19 and will be, like the first, an
additional report and will cover q
period in the harvesting season of
the utmost importance to the grow
ers and manufacturers of cotton.
The fourth report will paralAed the
present report, and represent the
cotton ginned to December 13 The
fifth report will be the final report
and cover the close of season.
It will be seen that this plan con-
templates practically monthly re-
port during the cotton ginning season
of 1903. It's believed by the census
Office that this is frequent enough to
meet all commercial requirements,
but if, after an actual test, 1t shall be
found that still more frequent re
ports are desirable the census Office
will be prepared to make them for
the crop of 1904

THE REFORM SCHEME
Identical Note of Russia and Austria
10 the Hands of the
Sultan.
Powers Make Several Recommendations
For Reforms in Macedonia
Serious Opposition.
Coercive Measures Will be ResOrted to
If Necessary. Turkey Likely
TO Object.

Constant:nople, Feb 24.-The iden-
tical note On the subject of reforms
in Macedonia, presented to the grand
vizier Saturday by the Austro-Hun-
garian and Russian ambassadors,
was translated into Turkish and was
handed to the sultan the same even
ing. The powers recommend, in adj
dition to the appointment Of an in
spector general of gendarmerie for
three years, with ample powers to act
independently and to requisition troops
in case of emergency and the reor-
ganization of the gendarmerie and
police under European instructors,
that Christians be admitted into the
gendarmerie in numbers proportions
ate to the population, without being
required to read and write the Turk
ish language. Amnesty is also de.
manded for all persons who have been
arrested for political offenses. The
scheme for administration and finan-
cial reforms in Macedonia, as pro-
posed by the powers in the note, be-
sides planning more equitable col
lection of taxes, provides that the
local expenses shall be first charge
on the revenues of each vilayet. In
the event Of there being a surplus,
this may be sent to Constantinople.
Measures are also demanded for
compelling the Albanians to respect
the law.
The cover which it is proposed to
give to the ins nsipector general of gen.
darmerie, whose appointment or re-
call and whose successor must &c
confirmed by the powers, thus vir-
tually detaching him from the direct
control of the authorities at Constan-
tinople, is almost sure to encounter
opposition from the Turkish govern.
ment. The latter also will most like
ly object to the proposed financial
arrangements and to the basis on
which it is planned to recruit the
gendarmerie, which, were the sugges-
tions OF the powers carried out,
would in several districts be prac-
tically entirely composed of Chris
tians, owing to their performance in
certain parts of Macedonia. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the powers
are determined to admit of no modl-
fication of the reform scheme; that
they demand it's application without
delay and that they are prepared to
adopt coercive measures to ensure its
being scrupulously carried out.

not missing anything. The following
is from the Spokane Spokesman Re-

editors inspected the Sunday tender
loin life of the city. They dropped
into the variety theaters, where the
afternoon performance was in pro-
gress, and looked on at some of the
gambling games that were running.
They also expressed a desire to 60

intending to compare what they saw
with what is yet to be seen in Seat
tie, Portland, San Francisco and
other cities yet to be visited. To
them all was interesting.

joint resolution accepting the invita-

of the committee to be appointed to
attend the exposition from seven to

eleven to fifteen members of the
house, was agreed to.
Mr.. Babcock called up the confer
ence report on the bill for a union
station in Washington, which was
adopted. He moved that the house
further insist upon its disagreement.
whereupon Mr.. Morrell (Pa.) made q
motion, which took precedence, to
concur in the senate amendments
which proposed to give the railroads
100000 instead of the 100000
proposed by the house bill.
After a spirited debate Mr.. Nor
rell's motion prevailed, 157 to SO. The

BISMARCK GRISI.
JUD LA INQUIRE ON THE PRIM.
AIRY ELECTION
LAW.

Bismarck, February "a, 1903
While primary election advocates
are not at all satisfied with the
amendment restricting the Sharpe
bill to county Offices aloTie- they they ex-
press themselves as favorable to the
passage of any bill that will be in the
direction of a trial of a primary elec-
tiOn system. In the debate in the
senate Jud LaMoure stated some of
the objections to the law. He said
that where the primary election law
has been tried it has been a frost and
all want change. This being a
young state we should profit by the
experience of others. Minnesota was
an example of what might happen.
In East Grand Forks defeated can
didate stated that the only reason he
failed to be nominated for congress
was that the supply of ballots ran
out. There were 500 more votes
cast than at the election. Under a
primary election law it would be
possible to do things that cannot be
done now. Repeaters would get in
their work and cause trouble. 1t
was newspaper graft concocted and
carried out for the purpose of deriving
money therefrom. Minneapolis and
St. Paul newspaper publishers have
made immense sums of money out of
it. The Pioneer Press of St. Paul
made $780, out of it last year and
if conservative newspaper like that
made SO much how much more would
blackmailing Tribune and Times
get?
When Senate Bill No. II providing
that the school funds could be loaned
on farm lands in unlimited amounts
came up for final pasasge Mr.. La
Moure declared himself against the
bill because there was not provided
the per cent of the value of the lands
that should be made in loaning the
money. There is a constitutional
provision that the state must make
good all losses to the school fund.
Mr.. Bacon believed that the land
interests of North Dakota were the
safest kind of an investment and
that the money should be loaned in
the state. Mr.. LaMoure said the
statement came with i'll grace when
it was known that the University
trustees had expended over 100000
in money before bonds were issued
and the legislature had winked at the
transaction. The bill was indefinate-
ly postponed
1t is stated that the discovery has
been made that there will be 5000, 900
available for these appropriations
instead of s532, 900 as originally sup
posed and the liberality towards the
St. Louis exposition IS one of the
results of this find. The recomenda-
tions of the committee regarding
the appropriations practically settles
the matter, as it is not doubted
that the bills will be passed as recon-
mended by that committee.
William Bulge of Grand Forks
greeted friends here yesterday on his
return from Wanatchee where he at
