The School Entertainment.

Last evening at the opera house were held the closing exercises of the Williams public school, the program for which was printed in our last issue. The hall was crowded to its utmost by most attentive audience, who greatly appreciated each and every number. Lack of space forbids our making detailed mention, but we wish to compli- ment our corps of teachers upon the success of their efforts in pre- pairing the children for so extended a program. The recital showed a marked appreciation by both teach CTS and pupils of the efforts of the other, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon them all.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 9, 19O4.- Very few lots of strictly range bred fed steers were on last weeks market. Colorado bred and Col orado fed branded steers, weighing 1122 lbs. brought $4.5O early in the week, and the same kind of stuff weighing 1290 lbs. sold at $4.65 Thursday. Native fed, western steers, ranging from 900 to 1000 lbs. sold at $4 to $415. Western COWS weighing 761 lbs. sold at $3.4O Thursday. There was a liberal supply of high grade Colorado feed CTS during the week, some geo lb. ones selling at $4.5O. Others aver aging $50 to 1900 lbs. brought $4 to $4.2O. None of these prices were considered much changed from those of previous week. Supply today is moderate for Monday, at 5000 head. Market on killing stock steady, and on stock and feeding cattle strong
 Texas sheep opened the season here last week and made up most of the supply during the week. Price on Texans opened at $4.9O, which was too high, and in their decline of 25c they dragged natives down 1O@15c. Market today is higher, however, and receipts are expected to run light and prices no worse for some time. Nearly ev- erything now is clipped stock, and best clipped lambs bring $5.75 to $5.S5; wethers up to $5.25; ewes, $5.

GRAND CANYON
Grand Canyon, May II

The inhabitants of this camp are just getting over that "tired feel ing" caused by overwork at the time of the rush of visitors last week. To feed and care for so many in such small quarters took greater engineering than would seem, and all may be thankful that the task was accomplished with so little de- lay and accident This week a goodly number of locomotive en- gineers on their way to the conven- ton of their order in Los Angeles visited the Canyon, many of whom had their wives and families with them. They were fine looking delegation.
 We hope the attempt to give a Wild West show near here has been given up, for the way it was carried on was a cruel, bloody spectacle as bad as bull fight To treat the best friend humanity has in the manner the horses were treated at that show was cruel in the extreme. The ability of the riders in ques- tion is not doubted, but beating and cutting an animal is not riding an animal by any means, and a horse can make no outcry of the pain it endures. Let some of the would be bronco busters, as they choose to call themselves, be taken to some foreign country and bridled, then beaten and abused because they do not understand the language used to them, they will better under stand how these wild horses feel when brought off the range to be ridden. All horses can be taught to do the work required of them if properly handled and time taken to teach them. For the sake of those who live here we hope it will not be repeated.
 MT. Buggeln left for Los Angeles last Monday evening.
 c. M. Schwab, of the steel trust, with party of friends, came up in a special train last Sunday, return ing to Williams in time to catch the east bound train that evening.
 MT. Moran, the celebrated paint CT, has returned to the Canyon for two weeks.

J. J. Gilson is again hard at work sinking in the well near his black. smith shop. Until recently he had simply been operating a drill, but is now going down in the good old-fashioned way-two men work ing in the shaft and one to operate the hoist. Yesterday morning they were down 15O feet and were in a hard formation, which necessitated shooting. Thursday morning ten half barrels of water were removed, being the inflow over night. Yes terday thirteen half barrels were taken out, showing an increase in the flow of three over the day be- fore. Jim has great faith in strik- ing large flow of water and at present the indications are most favorable.

Withdm Plans 10 Cent
Cotton for Farmers

{ to the farmer depositors money
up to 80 per cent of the market
value of the cotton stored and in.
sured on warehouse receipts
He held the cotton and the notes
and when the rise came-as il
surely did-the farmers sold
their cotton on the rise and in
conse quence his deposits in his
country banks were more than
dou bled.
This is the simple plan pro-
posed for this giant corporation
which will proba bly, be formed in
Atlanta in January.
Wishing to give to all of the
farmers of the south the priv.
lege offered his depositors, the
southern warehousing plan was
outlined in the following letter
which was addressed to each
of the presidents of the
State Bankers Association of the
cotton growing states, which is
within itself self-explanatory:

devised by the bankers associa-

at a low rate of interest in the
east upon the warehouse receipts,
with the papers properly fixed
up, with the usual guarantee now
given by companies on storage

Could not a warehouse compa-
nv be formed in your state, and a
like company in each of the cot
ton states, for building or leasing
the warehouses in many towns,

thus give to the local banks good

and marketing of the crop?

AS promised we went down to
look at the proposed site of the
New Colony last Monday, and as
promised we will give the facts,
that will not be disputed.
There is not much to tell.
Indeed the colony site has not
been purchased, or had not been
last Monday. The company
through Brobston, Fendig & Co.,
hold an option on nine lots of $50
acres each belonging to Mrs. G.
C. Doughty, near the station of
Cutler and Immediately east of
the ST. Mary's river, intersected
by the G. S. & F. railroad about
81 miles west of Jacksonville.
Mr.. N. B. King, who is associ-
ated with Brobston Findig & Co.,
tells us that his company has
given an option on $4,000 acres
including Mrs. Doughtrys 1000.
He is confident that he can deliv-
err 10000 acres or as much more
as the company will want at the
contract price, which we have a
good reason to believe is about
SITS per acre. Although the
only two settlers, farmers, we
found near the place had not
given an option or had been ask
ed for one and will sell for much
less than the above stated price.
The land along the river, a mile
and two miles wide, is compare
lively high and dry and fairly
we'll drained by small streams.
There are some flats, or basins,
that hold water in wet weather,
but owing to the sandy poro -
soil the water disappears before
it stagnates, and there seems to
be little cause for malaria, and
indeed the natives all claim that
it is exceptionally healthy, free
from chills and fever. We were
told that the few families livine
in the great Okeefenokee
swamp are robust and HEALTHY
and that an aged patriarch

A solution has been found
which, if adopted, will insure the
- farmers of the South 10 cents per
pound for every bale of cotton
marketed. To discuss the gigan.
tic undertaking, which has been
evolved by W. S. Witham, presi'
dent of the Witham Banks OF
Georgia, convention of the pres.
idents of the Bankers Associa-
ton of the Southern States has
been called to meet in Atlanta in
January.
The plan proposed is for the
formation of giant warehousing
corporation, to be owned and con-
trolled by the state bankers as
sociations of the southern states
and backed by the 100000, 900
of capital and surplus which, with
the deposits of these state banks,
amorAe to more than 81, ZOO, OO0,-
vuO. This com bination would
corner the cotton crop and con-
troll the price Of the feecy staple.
This warehousing corporation
is to own or control 100 or more
warehouses in each state wherein
the farmers may store their cot
ton, secure 80 per cent advance
on the market value of the cotton
stored and have the banks,
through the warehousing COM
5 pany, hold the cotton-ln this
I way control the entire cotton
crop-until the market reaches
! 10 cents, when the cotton will be
doled out gradually, thus holding
up the market price.
FOR A 1O-cENT MARKET.
To state it simply: 1t is a cor
ner of the cotton market by
southern banks, which propose
/ to act on the law of supply and
demand, and by holding the cot
ton, force the price of cotton to
where it should always be-ten
@cents-as the price paid the farm
ers.
That the plan is entirely FEAST
bic has been proven beyond a per-
adventure by Mr.. Witham in con-
nection with his forty-eight With
am Banks of Georgia. The dem
onstration took place last fall.
He instructed his cashiers to loan

States, in Atlanta, Ga, in Janu'
airy next for the purpose of dis
GUESSING a plan to enable the farm
er to hold and market his cotton
more advantageously?
CD The southern banks, with
some assistance from New York
during the months of September,
October, November and Decem-
Der, can carry enough of the cot
ton crop to keep up the price.
and market the same as the de-
mand for the staple required.
CD 1t may be necessary to
own, lease or otherwise control
at least 100 good warehouses in
each state.
60 Under one control uniform
charges could be made, aggre>
gated security could be given a
New York trust company, add
the money thus secured be de-
posted with the southern banks
for this special use, taking de-
mand notes secured by cotton,
insured. The bankers of Geor-
gia can accomplish the work in
this state, and the banks of Tex
as can carry out the plan in your
state, and so with the other cot
ton growing states.
CD The obje ction urged is a
farmer cannot afford to hold his
cotton and must sell to pay his
debts. In answer to this will
say that the farmer in the south
is now in better financial condl-
ton than ever before, and in the
forty-eight "Witham Banks" in
Georgia more than two-thirds OF
the money on deposit belongs to
the farmers, as against all other
professions ard deposito~s.
Again, if the farmer owes your
bank $1,000, due in October. and
cotton at that time is at low
price, you can take his cotton on
a demand note, cancel the first
note and carry his paper and cot
ton on demand, provided there
is concerted action on the part of
all the banks and warehouses, or
ganized and equipped to carry
ont the scheme.
If we can get farmer 10 cents
for his cotton, the banks will be
rewarded with a profitable in
terest and a very much larger
depositaccountALL THROUGH
THE YEAR than if the staple
is sold for less.
This is the first letter l have
written on this subject, and would
like to have your views.

INTERVIEW WITH MR.. WITHAM.
Speaking of The proposed plan,
Mr.. Witham said.
when one begins to think of
100000 bales of cotton, worth
5000, 100000, and then of plan
to control this crop and force the
price up from 7 to 10 cents per
pound, refusing to sell it for Z
cent less and probably more, that
thought fairly staggers the
brain.
