Effect of Cotton Slump at Tyler,

Tyler. Texas: The recent slumps in
cotton have played havoc with the
farmers of this county, who have been
holding for high prices. The report

cotton situation in Smith county, and
they estimate that the farmers are
holding from 1000 to $500 bales, and
that the loss will reach from $4,000
to $4,000. The same conditions pre-.
vail in several adjoining counties.
These estimates are conservative.

arguments before the United States
supreme court setting forth the con.

Beyond any doubt this win be the
most notable controversy submitted 70
the nations highest tribunal during the

attract widespread attention. The
case involves disputed territory cstl-
mated to be worth from ss.0O0.Oo0 to
$40, 900, GOO. the value being chiefly rep-
resented by some OF the worlds most
valuable oyster reefs, TO which both
states claim title.
The controversy Is also of excep-
tional interest on account OF the fact
that the oyster beds of the Atlantic
coast. especially In the vicinity OF
Chesapeake bay, ,are being rapidly de-
pleted, and the United States Is now
looking TO the Mississippi sound for It's
principal supply OF the luscious BIZ
valves. The oyster output OF the gulf
coast has shown an enormous increase
during the past few years. due to the
inability OF the Baltimore market to
furnish It's usual supply, and the Bayou
Cook species Is becoming almost as

Summer Visitors.
B 'Z||R'lEtIFE!|HHl

Just as the people of the city are talk
Ing OF and preparing for their annual
summer fitting to seashore, mountain
or lake resorts, the railroads and bust
ness interests of the city are beginning
to again push the claims of Chicago as
summer resort. To bring the people
to the city the same inducements in the
way of railroad fare will be offered tour
lists to Chicago as are given those wish
Ing to attend the exposition at st. Louis
There is more than mere talk to this
idea Of Chicago as a summer resort
There are seldom less than 100 900 visi-
tors from one to three months in the city
each summer. Instead of hotel rates
going down with the summer they go up,
and this in itself is sure sign of Chi
cago's popularity as stopping place
during the heated months. The rates at
the various family S9otels that front on
the lake are third higher in the sum
mer than in winter, and in the summer
they are crowded to the roof 1t is the
visitors to the city that make it profitable
to keep the theaters open through the
summer; It IS the visitors, that make it
possible for t tsse 81 n a gdsSrsF
hlgh-priced musical and vaudeville tai
ent, to pay their expenses-and a profit.
Another evidence of Chicago's popu-
larity as a summer resort is the ease
with which furnished fats can find rent
ers during the summer period. Real es-
tate men find it impossible to supply the
demand for this class of accommoda-
tions from people who come into the city
for the summer. Flats that will rent for
$50 monthly unfurnished can be re-
rented during June, July and August
with furnishing for SIS to $50 without
trouble. OF the regular residents Of the
city an increasing number are each SUM
mer renting their apartments in this way
to people from the south and from the
country to people who wish to spend the
summer in the city.
