STEWARDS NAME NOT SENT IN.
President Orders Appointment Held
Up, No Reason Given. IS

special dispatch from Washington
says that the appointment of George
M. Stewart to be postmaster at Seattle
has been held up by President Roose-
welt, after all arrangements had been
made for sending Mr.. Stewards name
to the senate
This announcement was made after
meeting of the cabinet The reason
is not made public for the president
holding back the appointment after
telling Congressman Humphrey last
Saturday and asking him to make the
announcement that he would send the
name of Mr.. Stewart to the senate so
as to prevent candidates for the senate
from using the Seattle postoffice as a
bait to win votes in the legislature.
1t is not known. either, what eff
feet this delay will have upon Mr.
Stewards chances for reappointment
Ihe president told Congressman
Humphrey that he would appoint Mr.
stewart but the delay without an ex-
cuse being given, is mystifying to the
washington delegation. Senator An
keny declares that he mas not commu-
nicated with the president on the subj
1ect, but it is not known what action
II any, Senator Foster has taken.

COTTON GROWERS ARE SORE
Increase Acreage and Crop, Then Ac-
cuse Government of SpiaefuIness.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
Southern cotton growers are saying
uncomplimentary things about the
federal government. They complain
because cotton statistics were made
public, and seem to think the gov
eminent has some petty spite against
attempting to injure the south's prin-
cipal industry. They forget that cot
ton statistics are gathered annually
as the result of a specific clause in
the census law, inserted by request
of democratic congressman from Tex
as, and that the government mas no
option either as to gathering this
information or as to making 1t pub
lie.
1t happened this year that there
was was a very large cotton crop
and that the publication of the gov
eminent estimates sent the price OF

had not reached for five years, but
that was not the fault of the govern
ment The fault was with the cotton
growers, who in spite of repeated
warnings, refused to reduce the cottor
acreage.
No Parallel In North.
The prejudice Of the cotton growers
against publicity would find a paral-
lei in the spring wheat belt of the
northwest if the wheat growers were
to combine in an effort to concea
knowledge of their acreage or yield
In other words, if the wheat growers
acted like cotton growers, they
would resist all efforts of the govern
ment, the millers, the elevator mer
and others to secure accurate. data
regarding the crop, and would sen6
up a mighty protest If these data
when finally secured, were given t.
the world. 1t is easy to understand
that if this publicity does not injurs

CASSIE ALSO STRUGGLED GEMS.
The Notorious Woman Dealt Largely
In Prescious Stones.

CLEVELAND, O.. Jan. 19.-The
Plain Dealer says:
Investigation into the charge that
Mrs Cassie L. Chadwick struggled
large quantities of diamonds, gems
and other prescious stones into this
country, mas developed the fact that
the woman dealt in precious stones
to an almost fabulous extent. In or
der to make case on the charge of
smuggling it was found necessary for
the government authorities to trace
all the deals for diamonds and Jewell
ry made by Mrs. Chadwick, both in
this court and Europe.
The statement has been made by
Collector of Customs Leach that more
than $250,OO0 worth of jewelry and
precious stones handled by Mrs
Chadwick has been traced and posi-
lively located. 1t is added that this
great amount Of jewelry has been I'M
covered, Win the mVSSt1SatlOn, Stlli
incomplete. OF this amount the gov
eminent is directly interested in about
one-third.
Help Creditors Some.
While the government is attempt
ing simply to collect any unpaid du-
ties on diamonds brought from Eu-
rope. it is understood that all the
evidence secured viii be placed at the
disposal of Receiver Nathan Losser
and that he viii be able to realize
thousands Of dollars for the creditors
of the woman. The investigation
has led to the discovery that only a
small portion of the jeweIry was put
up as collateral for loans made by
Mrs. Chadwick, and that. by far the
greater portions went as gifts to
friends and acquaintarceS.

NEW RECORD on ACREAGE
STATE or WASHINGTON LEADS
THE NATION IN LAST
YEARS WHEAT.
Phenomenal Crop Gave 28.1 Bushels
an Acre Against 20.1 in Pre-.
ceding Year.

Washington had the largest wheat
crop in it's history last year with the
Single exception of 1901, when the
bumper crop was raised. The COM
pleted statistics given by the depart
ment of agriculture are a surprise in
many features 1t was known that
Washington had produced a tremend-
Gus harvest of winter wheat, and
there was no doubt that the crop OF
spring sown wheat was excellent in
quality and quantity, but only few
persons we'll informed in farm sta
tistics had ventured to predict total
crop exceeding 25.OOO,00O bushels.
Yet it turns out, according to the
corrected figures of the agricultural
department that the 1904 harvest
amounted to 32,14O,6O3 bushels. The
bumper crop of 1901 was 34,51S,96S.
The 1903 harvest was a good one, but
it was more than 100000 less than
that OF the last season.
Great Acreage Yield.
Winter wheat pays in Washington.
Not only was the total crop simply
phenomenal last year, but the acre
age yield was much larger than any,
where else in the country. 1t was
larger by nearly six bushels than in
the second best state, idaho; and it
was about two and half times as
great as the average acreage yield
for the United States as a whole.
The yield per acre in Washington was
PSI bushels, as against POI in 1908.
The total crop was 14,652,773 BUSH
els, or nearly twice as much as in
1903 when the crop was 7,517,179
bushels.
The number of acres under winter
wheat cultivation was also much
larger than usual, the total being
521,451 as against 373,9S9 in the year
before. The Washington winter
wheat crop commanded an average
price Of 80 cents a bushel, and there
fore brought to the farmers of the
state a gross return of $11,722,213.
The spring wheat crop was also ex-
cellent, for the total number of BUSH
els harvested was H. 4S7, $40 bushels,
a good gain over the 1903 crop when
the total was 12,469,166 bushels
There was a decrease in the average
yield per acre of spring wheat, but
the increase in acreage was enor-
nous, the total area being 925,282
acres, as against 6OS,252 in the year
before. Last years average yield per
acre was 1879 bushels, as against 2O.5
in 1903 The spring wheat brought,
on an average, 80 cents per bushel,
and the value of the crop was, there
fore, s13,990,264.

lnJuxe tnek COTTON growers. *
The CHIEF trouble lies IN the inabil-
ity of the cotton grower, by reason of
his ignorance of and unfamiliarity
with modern business methods, to
protect himself against the specula-
tors. The wheat growers are fully
able to Withstand the onslaughts of
the speculative markets. and to get
for their crop the highest market
price. The cotton grower is as help
less as a child in the face of this OPP
position. and after he has gathered
his crop. the spectators have him en-
tirely at their mercy. Happily for
this country, there is no class of peo-
pie here corresponding with Edwin
Markham's Man With a Hoe" but
the nearest approach we have to that
individual is to be found in the cot
ton belt of the southern states.
It is said by intelligent southerners
that the best men Of the south are
no longer engaged exclusively in cot
ton growing. They are in. other lines
Of production-sugar, rice. tobacco,
the cereals or scientific dairying.
When they are exclusively farmers,
they diversity their crops. To this
class of men the cotton situation OF
the present has no especial interest
The bulk of that crop is raised by
negroes and the more ignorant whites,
men who know nothing beyond plant
ing the seed and gathering the ripe
cotton.
For a number of years an earnest
effort has been made to have the cot
ton growers reduce their acreage and
pay attention to other crops, but it
has been almost a total failure. AT
the beginning of the last planting
season, a concerted effort was made
by the intelligent agriculturist ele-
ment in the south to secure an agree
ment among the cotton growers that
the acreage show a specified decrease
as compared to the year before. 1t
was thought at last that this
agreement had been reached,
but such was not the case. 1t seemed
that each ignorant planter went home,
saying to himself: MY neighbors are
to reduce their acreage this year, and
that will reduce the crop and in
crease the price. I will play a cute
trick and quietly increase my acre
age. That will give me the benefit
of the increased price and put a
snug sum into my pockets And he
acted on that idea.
Years Acreage Increased.
The agreement was ignored. in al
most every case, and the 1904 cotton
acreage was considerably larger than
that of 1903. And when the govern
ment, in pursuance to the require
ments of the law, ascertained that
the crop was IN excess or LndC OIL the
former year, and published that fact,
the planters acted as if a malicious
injury had been done them by the
government.
Truly, the cotton growers have a
good deal to learn. 1t is a fortunate
thing for the northwest that the
spring wheat farmers are men of such
probity and intelligence as to prevent
yearly repetition Of what is coming
to be the regular program in the
south
Southern members of the two
houses of congress do not uphold the
claims of their cotton constituents in
the present controversy. They know
very well where the trouble lies, and
that the government, in collecting and
publishing data showing the size Of
the present crop, is only carrying out
lot 81 1oxry
