Report on the PalOuse Project.

/ The report of the engineers on the
Palouse project to Chief Engineer New
ell has been made public. After pre-
liminary statement of general condi-
| tons regarding the project the report
gives an itemized preliminary estimate
/ of the cost of irrisating the 100, 900
acres as S6,39l 900 or $63.91 per acre.
'! The concluding paragraph of the re-
port and recommendations are given
in full as follows:
The lands to be irrigated have an eX
ce1lent sandy soil, and warm climate
and with proper treatment would be
very productive and valuable. A por-
ton of them would require extensive
leveling. but in the main their topog-
raphy is favorable for successful irriga-
tion they seem to be all thoroughly un
derdrained by natural conditions. 1t
is probable that they would stand as
high charge as any lands that have
been considered by the reclamation
service and much higher than most.
From the available data we do not
consider it feasible to properly irrigate
any land in this project at less cost
than $50 per acre. In addition to this
high cost there are elements Of doubt
connected with this project, due to un-
certainty of the quantity of leakage to
be expected on account Of the unfavor-
able formations in which the reservoir
aud canal lines occur.
RECOMMENDATIONS
l. We recommend that the under
ground examinations now nearly COM
pleted be finished and that the Palouse
project be laid aside until more prom
ising projects in other parts of the state
shall have been investigated.
2. That the lands withdrawn for
the Palouse project be continued in u
state of withdrawal for the purpose of
development at some future time.
g. That the offer of 100000 for the
removal of the railway tracks from the
creased nor urged for the reasons given
above.

was held in Tom Green County
jail yesterday by Sheriff Japson of

1t is learned that Henderson
claims to have settled all claims
against him except about $500.
There are good many things be-
ing SAID about this famous case
Which cannot be published for
the reason that there has been 10
trial. There is no doubt that the
case, when it comes to trial, will
be one of the most widely discuss

Asked to Correct Another's Errors.

The Press has been IN receipt of
two communications this week
asking it TO make corrections Of
alleged errors and mistatements
in the San Angelo Standard.
These two statements are in re-
gard TO different things hut can
both he answered at the same
time and with the same language.
The Press thanks the people for
the interest shown in the news
features of this paper and begs to
say that it can not take up the
errors of It's contemporaries in
matters Of this sort. Whenever
any gross wrong is done anyoae in
these columns, and the fact that
it is an error is called to the at
tention Of the management, it IS
corrected. If the people who de-
sire these things made right, will
communicate with the editor Of
the Standard, he will doubtless
do all in his power to remedy
whatever wrong he may have
done. Newspapers seldom mis-
state the facts in any case know
ingly. Usually these errors come
about through having been mis-
informed and the newspaper is
generally the one who suffers
most for having made them.
Claude Hudspeth may or may
not have done those things which
are SAID to have been Of sufficient
cause for him to have been count
ed hero. 1t is immaterial.
The glory may do him good and
certainly can do no one any harm.
So far as this paper is concerned
Mr.. Hudspeth has the glory and
the Mexican, if he wants to get in
the pot, will have to present his
claims.
w. b. Henderson may or may
not owe twenty thousand dollars.
The Standard may he right or il
may be wrong 1t is the duty OF
this paper to give the facts in
this or any other case as near as
possible. The Standard has
doubtless done this according to
the information to which it had
access. The proper way to have
the alleged misstatement correct
ed is to address the editor of the
Standard and not the editor of
the Press The Standard has
reputation for fairness in all
things except that it is a partisan
in politics and does not claim to
be otherwise. The Standard is
like every other newspaper. 1t
makes mistakes and 50 far as the
Press knows is always ready to
correct them.

Liverpool cables at the opening showed quotations about as expected. and our markets opened to ' points better than yesterdays close. Sales of spots in Liy~ erpooi 1000, at points advance. The firm ness of American markets ind,,sAl higher figures at Liverpool, and closing there was 4 English points above their yesterday s close. The advance over the opening fig- ures of American markets reached at one time during the session about 13 points.
 Receipts at interior points. as compared with same time last year, are several thousand bales less. Indications are. how ever. that tomorrow's receipts will be comparatively heavier.
 There was a better feeling in the spot market with fair sales. Savannah. New Orleans and Norfolk spots advanced one eighth. Good cotton is reported to be scarce in New Orleans. and strict mid ding sold at 1011 cents. Spots up 10 points in New York.
 Stocks-There was another satisfactory stock market today. Yesterdays advances were well held and in many instances additional advances were recorded. While 1t is well to take profits on bulges In the stock market. we believe that later In the fan much higher level of values will be esta blished.

 Less Freely.

New York, September 13.-Without im- provement in point of activity, the cotton market showed a much steadier tone, and while toward the close realizing caused partial reaction, the final tone was steady at net advance of to Il points
 Sales were estimated at 275.0Oo bales.
 The opening was firm at an advance of to 6 points on steadier cables, and reports of a better spot demand at the declines of yesterday. Private advces from the south claimed that interior hold CTS were offering spot supplies less free ly. and with receipts for the day run ming lighter at the ports and interior points. there was considerable covering by recent sellers. who were also dis appointed at the absence of liquidation by the Wall street pool, which Is supposed to be heavily long of October and to be preparing to take up tenders on con- tract. After advancing to a net gain of about 15 to II points, or around 10. 52 for October, and 10.53 for January, real izing by recent buyers. a little selling by spot people, presumably against supplies sure, eased the market off about points from the top. Southern spot markets were unchanged to ksc higher, confirming reports received early in tho day, but proving. and the weather was favorable.

Ware 6 Leland's Market Letter.

First signs today of a change in Liver pool for the better.
 Futures during the session took several upturns, indicating opposition to import selling, etc, and cables report the con tinent as buyer instead of seller.
 Spots show steadiness, being points higher, with 1000 total sales.
 Yesterdays crop report Is credited with starting a change in disposition Of con tinental cott,a interests.
 Our market opened steady, to up. with disposition from the start to buy rather than sell, 1t causing 10 points rise in the first hour.
 Export houses principal bidders around 1OA for October. Market showed resis- tance to decline yesterday. and little is needed to start short covering on exten- sive scale.
 Crop reports from Texas continue bad.
 Crops in north Texas and territories very late and generally stopped making. Texas farmers firmly refusing to sell be- low 10 cents.
 Locally, there was considerably more looking round by buyers and was the cotton on the market, fair business nc doubt would have resulted
 Spot prices steady to 1-is advance. 1n- terior offers light.
 Weather conditions in the belt favorable except heavy rains locally in Georgia and drought in Texas continuing in south east and central portions.
