PREDICTED TEN CENT COTTON
President Peters Discusses the
Cotton Situation.

The following is from the Hous-
ton Chronicle:
Mr.. f. s. Peters, president of the
Cotton Growers Association, was
here yesterday from Calvert, Texas.
Mr.. Peters has just returned from
Washington, d. c., where he Sc
cured an appropriation from the ag-
ricultural department for the pur-
pose of fighting the boil weevil in
this state during the coming sea-
son. He said great interest was
manifested in Washington over the
ravages of the insect.
Mr.. Peters, on the 18th of last
September, predicted l0-cent cotton
before another year. He issued ad-
vice TO the farmers predicting the
advance, and told them TO sell their
cotton slowly.
eff the farmers had have needed
my advice, " said Mr.. Peters, we
would have l2-cent cotton instead Of
Decent cotton, and our planting in
rerestswould receive the benefit. AS
II is, nobody but the spectators
who have contLol of all the cotton
not already in the hands of the
spinners are being benefited by the
advance.
al believe it Will be a long time
before cotton falls to what it was
three months ago. The boil weevil
has cut down Texas crop and the
live stock industry is arising to take
it's place. Oversize will re-
duce the acreage and the crop Will
be short for several years"

Il Helps the Town.

Every good advertiser helps to
build up his community. Every
merchant who fails to advertise is
not only neglectlng an opportunity
which could be used to his own ad.
vantage, but he fails to help the
town in which lie lives and which
contributes to his support, to grow
when 1t might be gradually coming
to point of more Importance as a
trading center, and where IL would
offer him a much better field for en-
larging and prosperous growth for
his business.
Boards of trade are of great ad-
vantage in looking after the COM
mercial interest of town or city,
but it has also been suggested, by
those who have made il "a study
that boards of advertising can, and
do, do much good to make the adj
vertising better and thus give in
creased advantage to the conmuni-
ty. We have often heard people
wonder why some towns are con-
sidered live towns and others as
dead ones They seem TO have for
gotten, for the time at least, that
the live town is the home of the live
merchant, and that the dead town
is the place where the worst sort of
business men are making a desper-
ate and futile effort to keep business
from going to pieces by inadequ ate,
secondhand and freak advertising.
If all towns and cities were equal
ly blessed with wide-awake citizens
and especially wide-awake mer-
chants, there would be no handicap
because Of the special liveliness of
any community. However, since
all towns are not thus equally
blessed, il might be well to give any
town the advantage by stimulating
interest in the stores and giving the
people, outside of the town, the in
formation that here is a good town
which would hold its own for enter
prise and commercial advantage
with a"y other town or community.
The rightkind of advertising Will give
the outside world the correct idea
Of the quality Of the business men
located in such a town. The best
ideas of the best merchants located
there would help To make the town
boom, and would infuse her citizens
with vim and euterprise.-Sluphur

THE MAKING OF GOOD ROADS
A Question OF Prime Importance
to Ellis County Citizens.

The greatest question now con-
fronting the people of Ellis county
is, not the determination of the boil
weevil and the greenbug, or any
other pest that we have magaified to
the proportion and duration of a
vegetable sphinx, that is causing
SO many to apprehend the end of
the cotton and grain industries.
We have in the disposition of these
a problem above the range of finite
man, and in my opinion whatever
trouble and expense is gone to in
this line, other than the protection
of the natural enemies of these
ruthless outlaws, is only wasting
our means and expanding our ener-
gies in the wild attempt to visit
Mars.
The one thing that at present we
should make a strenuous effort to
accomplish is the making of good
roads, which will be altogether a
rational undertaking, with the So
luton SO far as the mechanical part
is concerned, already solved.
We have many feasible and equit-
able ways to put this into effect.
The one most prevalent from my
standpoint is to make our improve
ments strictly a county affair, and
as the government expert at Dallas
suggests, For the state to foot half
the bill, :" but conflne the improve
ments of our own yardto our own
purse.
In the first place we should have a
competent superintendent to over
see all road work in the county of a
permanent character as suggested
by Mr.. Arthur.
We should provide the funds nee
essary by taxation and make the
rate proportionate to distance from
road TO be improved.
We should assess the tax year by
year as the work carried on requires
for the execution, this assessment
to be made by the commissioners
court by and with the consent of
road delegates to be elected from
among the people where they live.
In order TO elect these delegates
the county judge may designate men
by twentyfives, these twenty-fives
TO elect a delegate who will act with
all other delegates that may be in
cluded in the selection of proposed
improvements.
The county judge could call at
any time a meeting Of the road del
egates to consider questions that
may arise.
Now ] do not intend these ideas
to be complete in detail, but merely
want to outline the way at least
one citizen would have it done, with
out knowing the readiness of the
county as a whole TO concur.
There is one thing, however, /
would like very much to impress on
all concerned that though the bear
has gone back to the woods YOU
need a gun. HARRY HOOD.

AN IDEA FOR CARNEGIE.
The Conaon Globe Suggests One for the
Phllanthropist.

The Conaon Globe Suggests One for the
Philanthropist.
Here IS an idea for Mr.. Carnegie to
consider. The noted multi-millionaire
philanthrorist is said to be worried with
the fear Of dying rich because he can
not give away his money fast enough.
Why would it not be good thing to in
vest $5,000,0O0 or $4,000, 900 in first
class canal and locks around the dalles
of the Columbia river at Cello and give
the work when completed to the people
of the great Inland Empire, suggests the
Condor Globe. 1t would he princely
gift to country which is only awaiting
the completion of this very work to be-
come the richest and most magnificent
empire on the globe. 1t would be the
grandest monument ever erected to the
memory Of mortal man-as enduring as
the mighty Columbia itself, as magni-
ficens as the towering, snow-capped
sentinels, Hood and Adams, which keep
guard at the portals Of this wonderful
country "where rolls the Oregon"
When palatial library buildings shall
have crumbled into dust and been for
gotten such work would still stand a
mighty artery of commerce, an avenue
for the transportation Of millions of
bushels Of golden grain to feed the people
Of every quarter Of the earth. 1t Is a
great idea, Mr., Carnegie, and worthy Of
your CAREFUL consideration.

AN ARTES|AN FLOW
VEIN TAPPED AT $50 FEET ON
THE BLALOCK RANCH.
Fifty Gallons Per Minute Flows From
Well With a Temperature
of 70 Degrees.

A flow of artesian water was struck
Monday afternoon on the Blalock ranch
west of Walla Walla. The vein was tap
ped at depth of $50 feet, and the water
gushed out at the rate of so gallons per
minute from 6-inch pipe. Most re-
markabie was the discovery that the
water left the ground at temperature
of 20 degrees, or temperate.
w. s. McCausland, in charge Of the
drilling crew, had been at work for two
months, and had passed through a
variety Of strata, sometimes Of such
hard nature as to almost stop opera
tions.
"This accomplishment" as q pioneer
remarked, "means more for agriculture
and horticulture in Walla Walla county,
and the whole of Eastern Washington
and Oregon, for that matter, than any
other previous development Of hidden
resources.
"For 35 or 40 years. continued the
pioneer, Scientists and agriculturalists
have been endeavoring to obtain water
from the subterranean depths. It is
now demonstrated that artesian water
can be had for the drilling, and it will
undoubtedly revolutionize agriculture
and horticulture in the richest soil sec
ton in the world"
The crew at the Blalock farm will not
stop drilling at $50 feet, but will go fur
ther in the endeavor to secure an even
greater flow. Only one artesian we'll
had previously been struck in the In
land Empire, that on the SpofFord farm,
but its flow is insignificant compared
with that OF the we'll just developed on
the Blalock fruit farm.
1t is believed that the temperature of
the water in the new we'll will be es.
pecially desirable for irrigation purposes.
