All, EUROPE IN REVOLT AGAINST
COTTON.

Movament Begun to Free Their Spinners from de-
nendeuce on Us by Finding New Sources OF supply
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3O.-A revolt against Amerl-
can cotton is the title of a long report just re-
ceived at the State Department from Onlteo
States Consul General Mason at Berlin, Oer-
many.
Mr. Mason saws that foremost among the eco
homie movements in Europe, which may nave
q serious meaning for important interests III
America, is the present simultaneous enor' VI
Great Britain, France and Germany to emancl-
nate their textile industries from dependence up
on American cotton.
The portentous feature of the situation IS that
there is, not only in Germany, but throughout
Europe, a growing feeling of resentment against
this dependence and a determination that their
spinning and weaving industries must at any
cost, be emancipated from such vassalage by the
development of wholly new resources OF supply
The German press charges that the American
cotton market is at the mercy of spectators who
drive up and down the prices to suit their own
purposes. Thus far the movement is in its IN
fancy, but it's future may be omlnous tor the
cotton growers of our Southern States, says Mr..
Mason. Experiments in the East African colonies
during the last two years have been successful.
1t is announced that there are many thousand
square miles of land in East Africa with soil and
climate well adapted for the cultivation of cot
ton.
Through the German Consul at Galveston, ar
engagements are being made to send over and edu-
cate at the agricultural schools and on planta-
tions in Texas, a number of young Germans who,
before going, will contract to spend a number of
years as superintendent Of plantations in the
German-African colonies. Coolie labor from
China will be employed in case the native tribes
proves too incompetent.
1t may be many years before this European
crusade for colonial cotton may be accomplished
but, says Mr.. Mason, whether we like it or not,
the day will come sooner or later when the cotton
of our Southern uplands and valleys will no long
er be king beyond the frontiers of the United
States.

Irrigated Lands.

How would you like an irrigated
country where there is five times as
much water for irrigating as can be
utilized? Where the soil is fertile be.
yond belief? Where crops are never
destroyed by violent storms of any kind?
Where the climate is healthful and ex,
hierating! Where there are large de-
posits of coal in the foothills imme.
diately adjoining the valleys, thus en-
suring forever a. cheap fuel supply?
You can find all these conditions in
the Big HON Basin of Wyoming, and
even with this enumeration Of its sub
stantial advantages, the resources of the
Basin have been but touched upon.
There are large bodies OF magnificent
grazing land. There, is lumber in the
mountains for building purposes There
are gold and copper mines in various
stages of development.
But the object of this article is more
especially to call attention to the irri.
gated propositions in the Basin A
want settlers, and are offering substan
tial inducements in the shape of low
priced water rights and lands. But
these low prices caunot be for long, and
the sooner you invest, the cheaper will
you be able to do so for the advance is
Just as sure as has been the advance in
the price Of similar lands in other
sections. You can now buy irrigated
lands with perpetual and assured water
rights for 5000 an acre up.
If you are interested in this country,
shall be glad to send you free. twenty
