The Government Cotton Re.
port.

The report of the L 5. Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor,
giving the number of commercial
bales Of cotton ginned from the
growth of 1901 prior To Septem Der
/. 1904, as compared with nun Der
ginned at same date last year. pre-
sents an astounding balance in
favor of this years crop. This
report gives 371 Sd bales ginned
this year against l6.5SI bales
ginned 10 n corresponding date
last year. Prior to September
LIST, last year, only PIG
ginneries had been operated, while
this year up To that date,
1867 have been in operation.
In comparing the showing of
the two reports. two things
become apparent; one 10 that
the weather conditions have
been exceedingly favorable to
mature this years crop earlier
than usual, the other il that
the continued drouth has caused
large percentage of the crop
TO open sooner than would other
wise happen.
The large receipts at the
ginneries does not necessarily
indicate that the present crop
will exceed that of last year, but
undoubtedly does point that
the crop will be harvested and
marketed at AN unprecedented
date. That the Overwhelming
receipts, at so early date,
will have IA tendency to lower
the lricc and create the impress
sion that the production is
overwhelmingly great, is reason
ably certain. The wise pro-
Queer, however, who has kept
himself informed as TO the
actual condition of the crop, is
not likely 10 make the mistake
of marketing his cotton at the
wrong time.
The September government re-
port will be followed 10y FIVE
Others, showing the quantity of
cotton ginned from the 1901
growth To October Is, TO Novem-
Der II, 10 Decem Der -, to Jan
nary 10 and To the end of the
season. The final report will give
the quantity of cotton ginned
during the entire season and will
also include the quantity of lin
tiers obtained by cotton seed oil
mills from reginning cotton seed
of this years growth. These re
ports gathered from actual figures
obtained at the gins, have done
more to protect the cotton growers
against the cotton spectators
than all else combined and has
been the means of putting mil
lions of dollars into their pockets.
Every ginner should be prompt
and eager to give to the gin cen
sus agent of his county the cor
rect number of bales ginned ut
his plant when called on for; for
he is thereby aiding the producer
TO get better price for his cotton.

WILL BUILD A NEW LINE.
Smoky Hollow Coal Company Will
Build tc Maxon.

Special TO Iimes-RepupEcan.
Abba, Jan. 2o.-It is reported here
on excellent authority that the Smoky
Hollow Coal Company, of which John
u. Evans is general manager. is about
10 build line from It's mines near
Avery to Maxon, there to connect with
the Iowa Central to secure line to
Minneapolis and other northern points.
including ports on the great lakes. 1t
Is said that the new line has been sur
veyed and that as soon as spring opens
the grading will commence.
The reason for Mr.. Evans proposed
change Is the subject of considerable
speculation. One report has 1t that
after years of trade with the Burling-
ton road, during which time he has di-
vided with the Wapello and White
breast companies the bulk of the rail-
road business, he has finally come to
a disagreement with his former pa
irons and is forced to look to other
markets to dispose of his coal. This is
not believed by many Abba people.
however, who think that Mr.. Evans
new move Is made simply in order TO
enlarge his market in proportion as
his output is enlarged by the addition
of the new mines he has recently put
into operation.

of the men directly concerned did all
