DENVER IN A LARGE AUTO CAR

Most Of the travelling was done by
night, especially in hot weather The
machine is provided with a searchlight
so powerful that it lights up the road
for half a mile ahead Coming across
the mountains some steep grades were
encountered. The automobile is provid-
ed with a gradOmeter register in a 30
per cent grade. In one place the grade
was so steep that it went beyond the
capacity of the registering machine.

THE COTTON CROP.

l2,l62,000 is what the United
States states show the crop OF
1904 will be. which is the largest
crop ever produced.
The crop of 1898 was 11,274,84O
bales. The crop of 1897 was H.
1894 bales. The crop of last
year was 1O,011,374 bales was the
most valuable crop on record, rea-
LIKING $6l2,797,337, the average
price being 1912 cts.
The effect of the government re-
port on the market was a drop OF
SO per bale, the price falling to
" cts per pound. which would
make the price of seed cotton
about $22 per thousand pounds, q
difference between the opening OF
the season, when cotton was sell.
ing at $3l, so and the present price,
of SO to SO per thousand pounds,
a loss Of one third of its value
Those who held their cotton fol
speculation will suffer a loss Of
fron1Sll to SIS per bale.
At the opening of the season
the planters were advised to hole
their cotton for IL and ID cts, be-
cause the cotton crop was suppos.
ed to be very short, caused by an
favorable weather conditions. th'
boil weeyils and the cotton worms
but Notwithstanding all these in
juries to the crop, it turns up Il
be a record breaker, and forces tn
price down to nothing. The plan
ters look gloomy over such results
as they have been selling thei
CROPS for the last two years on
basis of 10 cts, and more, and no'
when they realize the real coad'
ton, of cotton at u cts, it is dc
moralizing. and the tendency, th
coming season will not be to IN
crease the acreage, but to divers
fy their crops, and cane will pro
badly be the crop they will profe
to cultivate.
Some of the planters and eve
the spectators are wcnderin
what would have been the crop ar
der favorable weather condition
and without the injury OF the wei
vii and the worm.

NEW QUESTION DECIDED.

Mr., Justice Hughes delivered the
opinie'a of the supreme court Saturday
in the case Of Geo. C. kindley VS. Isa-
dore Spraker, affirming the judgment
of the court below
The exact point in question has nev-
er been decided in this state before
w w. Spraker, a married man, own
ing a homestead conveyed it to his
wife Isadcre, by deed. His wife did
not join in the conveyance and it was
attacked by a creditor # Sprakers,
because the wife did not join in it
The act of March IS. 1857, requiring
the wife to join in all conveyances Of
the husband was cited to sustain this
contention In his opinion Mr. Justice
Hughes, in overruling this contention,
said:
WAS the conveyance valid? We
think that the conveyance by the hus-
band to the wife. which meets her ap-
proval. shows her consent to it and
meets the intent of the act to the
SAME extent as a conveyance by the
husband to a third person in which the
wife joins. 1t seems reasonable to be
lieve that the legislature in passing
this act intended that it should be ap-
piled to a conveyance by the husband
of a homestead to the wife Affirmed"

that will in all probability have an i'm
a United States senator frem Ohio, to
succeed the late Marcus A. Hanna we're
held here Saturday by prominent Re
publican leaders. At the conclusion Of
the conference, Governor Herrick said:
Last November the people of Ohio
elected me as governor by an unpre-
cedented majority. That election
placed in my hands trust for execu-
ton. My duty is plain and clear.
will execute that trust and remain in
the governors chair.

am not and will not be a candidate for
the place
1t is now generally admitted that the
action of Governor Herrck and Mr.
Cox today leaves the way clear for
Congressman Dick to become the can
didate for the vacant seat. 1t is point
ed out that while Secretary Taft and
Congressman Burton, the only remain
ing possibilities, will command strong
support in certain headquarters, Dick
will practically have the Republican or
ganzation in his favor.
