When questioned by a representa-

Clark declined to give out but little
information as to the result Of ms in

He admitted, however, that he and
his party made a complete investiga-
ton of the country from Walla Walla,
UP Mill creek and then through the
Blue mountains. They then went over
to the Snake river and the So! ION.
Several days were spent along these
streams making Investigations and
then the engineer came on to Lewis

Mr.. Clarke left this morning for Spo-
kane, presumably to meet one OF the
chief engineers of the North Coast.
Surveying Party Returns.
The men who left Walla Walla with
MIR. Clark several weeks ago on the
exploration trip, returned to this city
this morning with their pack horses.
They are very reticent regarding the
result of the investigation. and in re-
sponse to questions from reprcserIa-
tive of the Evening Statesman they re-
ferred him to Mr.. Clark for informa-
ton desired. They said, however. that
they had completed the work which
they had to cover on the trip. They
report that they had a strenuous time
while out, especially did they find
some difficulty working while going
through the Blue mountains.

TWO CASES DIPHTHERIA.
Both In East End-Neither IL Serious
No Cause for Alarm.

-NO NuuSe IOf AnI'Il
This forenoon two more cases Of
diphtheria were reported, though both
are said to be of a mild nature. One
of the cases is that of the little daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. J. Mumm of Lewis
street, while the other is that Of the
child of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. F. Brown.
who live near the pumping plant The
first case Is being attended by DR.. c.
]. Smith, while DR.. T. NJ. Henderson
is the physician in the other.
In speaking of the situation this
morning DR.. Smith expressed no
alarm. Although there are now
number of cases under quarantine,
they are all Of mild nature except
ing one in the country. In many cases
it has been practically impossible to
tell whether the trouble was bronchitis
or diphtheria, and in some It has
clearly been the former.
While most of the cases so far re-
ported have been of children who at
tended the East End school, the situa-
ton has not become such as to war
rant closing of the school yet. How
ever, many parents have taken their
children out of school because of the
scare, and the room of Miss Froome
has especially been affected. This
morning there were but 13 pupils in
that room.
According to DR.. Smith there is no
need Of children being taken out Of
school excepting in cases where they
may have a predispositiOn to throat
trouble, or else be in such feeble
health that an attack might prove
serious. In most cases he believes
that children are better off at school
than elsewhere, as the sanitary cOndi-
tions are good, and the ventilation and
temperature of the rooms are careful
ly looked after.
The fact that DIR. Smith has not
taken his own little girl out of school.
nor has any other doctor done so.
| shows the confidence that is felt by
| those men.
Third Case Discovered.
This afternoon another case of diph-
| iberia was reported by DIR. C. ]. Smith

WERE DOING A "FRAT STUNT"

From the New York Tribune.
 Two college students, who were evident ly doing initiation stunts for some fra ternity, furnished a plenty of amusement for a large crowd at one of the railroad stations. The first thing that drew gen eral attention to the pair was their being led by a group of their fellow students to a conspicuous position in the middle of the waiting room. Having taken their places, side by side, they were told to sing Teasing They obeyed to the best of their ability, but 1t was easy to see that they would never make the college glee club. Despite shouts of delight when they got more than usually off the key, they persisted manfully to the end of the song. whereupon each pulled from his coat pocket a baby's nursing bottle full of milk. The crowd roared as the two youths, striving to appear quite unconcerned, tip- ped the bottles up and took good pull at each of them. The performance finished the two were then led away by their tor mentors, and the last seen of them was in another part of the station, where each was having his ears neatly and arr tistically tied up in empty tobacco bags

BOND BID REFUSED.
From the Montgomery Times.

From the Montgomery Times.
 Governor Jelks did not consider the offers received for the proposed issue refunding state bonds as liberal as the state deserved and he turned them down as he had a perfect right to do, They were a disappointment to him and he hopes later on to do better. The fact strong points renders his opinion in such matters of great weight and a man who has made a success of his own business affairs Is quite likely to do well with those of others conflded to him.
 It is, therefore. by no means certain that the refusal of the governor to accept the offer made will prove in the long run to be a mistake. As he points out there is yet more than a year before the old securities expire and buying now would carry with it more or less of a speculation on future conditions In the money market The governor feels that the state vii be justified in taking some of this risk, especially as 1t seems to have more than han a chance to gain by such continuance.
 These things being so the people will endorse the position of the executive be- cause they know that his intentions are for the best fer all concerned though there are many who believe that the bid for the whole issue on a basis of 343 was as good as could be expected.

Gasoline Against Electricity.

The Union Pacific railroad has ac. ouired a gasoline motor car which It will built for use on it's branch and suburban lines, thereby presenting something that can compete on equal terms of cost in operation with the trolleys. The trolley has become in the more populous states a dangerous rival of the steam lines of travel. In Ohio, for example, sleeping cars have been placed on trolley rails, and in all the northern states trolley lines are paralleling the familiar locomotive.
 The Union Pacific has therefore pro cured a gasoline motor car which 1t will proceed to put against the insi- dious trolley. It will have power enough to pull a trailer, if need be, and smell enough no doubt to perfume the entire length of it's rails.
 The gasoline motor car calls for no overhead wire, and it can therefore be placed on the same rails that the loco motives roam up and down. It is well adapted to suburban service from cen ters like Birmingham, and the fragrant service may soon, therefore, be ex- tended to all such localities, provided of course it's use on the Union Pacific establishes it's economy and adapta- bility over existing facilities of travel. IAll railroads need some defense against the trolley. and the gasoline motor car seems to meet longfelt want.

ash-Garaqe Homes.

The New York Mail thus describes what it elegantly calls an up-to-date home in Fifth avenue New York:
 The first floor will contain a large bil- Hard room and an automobile garage. The drawing room with a dining room adjoining will occupy the second story and there will be a two-story library with an ornamental skylight on the fourth and fifth stories. There are to be a squash court and a roof garden on the sixth story. the roof itself supporting four stor- age tanks of 750 gallons capacity each. The cost of the building is estimated at sl25OOO.
 Squash courts are familiar in the country, but they do not cost $125,O0O. They come higher, it seems, in Fifth avenue, New York. if squash courts and automobile garges have become necessary features of homes, the news should be broken to our home archi- tects. Our architects may be equal to the garage feature, but in order to catch on to the squash-court extension and do it justice they may have to take a postgraduate course. And while they are studying squash courts they should endeaVor to see if the price cannot be reduced below $125,- 900. This price does not fit all classes of our population, and yet of course all classes want squash courts. They may come high, but they must have them.
 Our esteemed contemporary neglects to state whether the Fifth avenue squashes appeal to the intellectual, moral or simply aesthetic side of man kind and womankind. The new squashes may indeed be sporty. We are left in the dark. and The Age Herald turns the entire subject over to home architects, trusting and be- lieving that they will speedily rise to the occasion.

No Mobs in Cullman.

George H. Parker, banker, of Gull man waxes indignant because cor respondent of the Nashville American had stated that Williams who shot down Senator Hipp surrendered in order to get safety against a mob. There IS no danger says MT. Parker, "of a mob. The good citizens of this country do not believe in mob law
 MT. Parker's indignation is wholly justified. He fails, however, to appre- ciate the fact that the correspondent of the period imaginatively sees, in the absence of actual news, a mob at any time or in any place. There is nothing he can invent so easily, or that will find credence so readily. It is a last departing phase of the mob era. It is relic of barbarity now fast disappearing from the southern stage.
 MT. Parker desires to vindicate from the charge brought by the Americans correspondent the people of Cullman county. He says no mob was follow ing Williams Sheriff O'Rear and a few chosen deputies were alone in pur- suit, and they would have resented a mob. There was no mob in pursuit or in waiting, or in contemplation. Gull man county is not built on that plan. Law and order are preferred in that excellent county to anarchy and con fusion. MT. Parkers anger is very natural, but he should remember that correspondents must lengthen their strings" and when a county per sistently refuses to indulge in lynch ings there is no way on the cores pondent's part to get even but by in venting predictions of mob action. It is a matter of strings" MT. Parker.

that consumption and the replenisn- ment of stocks will go this year to twelve million bales. It is known at any rate that the weekly rate of con sumption is steadily increasing.
 The belief has been that the war in the far east decreases consumption, but this does not appear to be the truth of the situation War is a great destroyer of materials, and Japan IS taking more raw cotton from us than she ever did in a like number Of months. All China is open to us, and consumption is going on in all parts of Asia on a liberal scale. Possibly one million bales of the great crop grown last year will be left over but it vii remain in the south In strong hands, and 1t may not interfere at all with the crop grown this year The weather will determine that ques- tion.
 Acreage does not determine the size of crop. It is the weather, not the acreage. The largest previous crop, that of 1898, was grown on twenty-five million acres. In 1905 twenty-nine mil lion acres were planted in cotton, and the crop was but ten million bales, or a million and quarter bales less than in 1898. Last year about thirty two million acres were devoted to cotton, and the crop rose to sirteen and a half million bales. A wet sum- mer and dry fall made an unex- ampled crop. Even if the present acre. age be thirty millions the weater can readily keep the crop down to ten mil lion bales, thus defecating the story of 1903. No one but the weather clerk knows what the crop of 1905 will ha

Size of Growinu Crop.

In March 696,OS0 bales of cotton were exported, as against S05,903 bales in March of last year. Home consumption is also heavy. The price Is just about one-half of the price of one year ago, and the reduction is leading to increased consumption, par ticularly in Japan.
 The government is now supplying promptly figures of production, and they are trustworthy figures, but it furnishes no figures of consumption. This is regretted, because the one has as much to do with the course of prices as the other.
 The consumption of last year was !fully eleven million bales, although he crop grown was but ten million Lsales in round numbers. Stocks were
