that will probably trike the ten year

will fall some what below. I'M" re-
fcrs to quantity. Only after the major
part of the crop has been houSed
will it be possible to tell what the
quality will be. OF course this state

Harvesting is well under way, and
considerable rice has already been

Harvesting weather thus far has
been very unsatisfactory. Receipts

The Rice Situation.

The rice situation on the first oil
September may be summed IN in n
sentence: Everything depends on the
weather. Two months of such wealth
or as the rice belt had last year will
enable us to harvest n seventv-fivo
per rent crop. A few weeks of such
weather as we are now having in
most sections of the rice belt. and
both quantity and quality will fall far
below III" average.
Naturally as the season advances
il becomes possible to obtain figures
as to acreage based on more reliable
data. but ever now it is possible only
to make a very general comparison
with last years acreage. As no man
knows what last years acreage actin.
ally was. il is possible only to hazard
the opinion that the acreage is so
much moro or so much less than that
iot 1903. II is a fact that the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture has ha2arded n
guess, giving specific figures, but as
the Department of Agriculture has
not taken such n census rs to enable
il to speak from absolute knowledge,
it's figures are put in the category OF
g]ucsscs.
The Millcrs' and Distributors As
ISOLATION and the Rice Association
sent a mar through the rice belt about
. month ago to get canal figures, but
as his investigation did not include
the wells. it is not complete enough
to be called an absolute authority.
So far rs the crcaCc Is concerned.
the Journal secs no reason to change

acreage in Texas is somewhat larger
than that of last al The consensus
OF opinion is that the increase will not
exceed ten 10 twelve ner cent. We'll

The Louisiana aCrCagc has unQuHS-

is much larger than that of TcN's.

FAMOUS LITIGATION.
Carlos Johnson, Who Won Out Over Gen. Egan and Others on Valuable
 Properties.

Carlos II. Johnson. the man who beat General Egau and his associates in tbe famous suit for the Sonora coal fields. has returned to his property from the City of Mexico.
 The litigation rom which Mr. Johnson has just emerged victorious was, perhaps, the most sensational in the history Of northern Mexico, and during the time that he was fighting General Egar s33S-jites he was several times imprisoned, alleging at the tune collision between certain officials and the people he was fighting.
 The land in question came to Mr. Johnson through loag line of ances- tors, but the people who were fighting for il took it up under certain mineral laws Of the country, and he had to take the fight to the supreme court Of Mexico before he won. He says his company is now going to develop the land and that it will prove as rich as any coal deposit in the republic.- Cananea Herald.
