The meeting Of the stockholders OF
the Uncompahgre Water Users associa
tion at OIathe Wednesday was rather
turbulent. The meeting had been called
especially Tor tho purpose OF passing
amendments and changing certain arti-
clos Of Incorporation. All OF the amend
ments were pissed until it came to the
one whereby 4 minimum sum Of 3 cenis
was to be levied on each acre Of land
owned by the association for the pur-
pose OF defraying the expenses Of the
organization. This amendment wss
strongly opposed by F. d. Catlin, OF
Montrose and al ii had to be carried by
q two-thirds vote. was lost. II seems 10
to be more OF Q fight between Mr.. Cat
lin and Mr.. Fellows. the government
engineer. than anything else and very
warm discussion resulted between the
two gentl~men during the meeting. Mr..
Fellows stated that IL the amendment
v.s lost that he would recommend to the
interior department that work be sus-
pended for the time being and il 10
stated hs sent telegram to that effect.
1t seems that Mr.. Cstlin 10 inclined to
think that tho expenses OF the sssocia-
ton should be maintained by the people
OF Montrose and Delta counties and not
by the association itseif. In view OF the
fact that the work OF the association is
practically over until the completion OF
tie tunnel II is Difficult. to see just Why
Mr.. Catlin should object 90 strenously
aud take chances by delaying work ut
this time. On the other hand very few
can understxnd just why Nj. Fellows
has anything to do with tho way in
which the association raises their furds
to maintain it's organization.
Another meeting will be called today
by the directors to meet some time next
month for the sole purpose Of passing
the amendment, which was. lost a. the
officers must at least have enough funds

Nervousness over the situation at the

that the besiegers have an elevated po-
sition. whence eu uplsced guns can CON

fsssing confidence that General Stoeasel
will be sbIs TO hold out With his com

enormous number Of the attackers, the
state u adsirs creates more apprehsn-
sion than the war ONCE or admiralty

Similar misgivingu exist regarding

every branch of trade, and the
only thing to do is for every man
that is interested in any manner,
shape or form, to stand together.
"For the sake of argument,
admit that the crop is 100000
bales Though I do not believe it
isl. and consumption d. these
prices will be at least 100000
bales, and the other hale million
bales will be a small quantity to
go into mill reserves. The
spinnerS of American cotton
throughout the world should at
least add this year to their
depleted stocks half a million
bales. the visible supply at the
end of the season, in order to
prevent 'squeezes' and corners
should be at least one and a half
million bales. Any well-pOsted
cotton man knows that this is
practically correct, hence l see
no reason for the holders of
cotton to get scared and sell at
anything like present prices.
"Since the Breaux Report was
ISSUED on Saturday we have
seen a great many kilograms
from some of the very best
cotton merchants scattered over
the South, to the effect that they
believed the estimate was too
large. l mention this to show
you that l am not the only one
who thinks the estimate too
large. However, it has had the
effect of putting midding cotton
down to tic in the New Orleans
market.
"The South went broke rails
ing cotton at 81 and &c per
pound in 1898, and during
that period everything was cheap,
as well as cotton, and the cost
of raising cotton was small as
compared to the present crop,
which is the most expensive one
ever grown. It would pay the
farmer to sit still and not
market another bale of this crop
until he can get above ten cents,
and reduce his acreage another
season at least Is per cent, and
instead of raising another bum
per crop raise only enough to
supply the world"
It strikes us that the advice Of
Mr.. Brown t.. reduce the cotton
acreage next season is also good
and sound, Experience has
demonstrated that a small crop,
one that is merely sufficient ta
supply the worlds demand. puts
"a great deal more money in the
pockets of the farmers than big
crOps that cause prices to drop
to or below the actual cost Of
producing cotton. Last season
we had o crop of little over 10.
600 600 bales. and as Mr.. Brown
quite correctly says, it brought
more money to the South than
any crop ever raised, and very
much more money than the
present crop viii bring unless
the cotton yet unmarketed is
sold at 10 cents q pound. Tire
situation is an exceedingly
gloomy one. and it is for the
farmers of the South still having
cotton in their possession to say
whether they will sell it at = Of Z
cents, or hold it until prices are
forced up. They can lose moth.
ing by holding back the cotton
in their hands while there is 3
strong probability that they
win gain much.
