ACTUALLY MADE
One ARREST

SEATTLE. Aug. s,--The first arrest
that ever occurred under the ex-
pectoration ordinance. which prohib-
its eXpectorating on the sidewalks
of this city, was made this after
noon when John Harper was taken
into custody for deliberately refusing
to stop splitting tobacco on the side
walk after being told to stop by an
officer.
Harper, a laborcr, was standing on
Washington street when the police
man noticed him continually expec-
torating as he walked along and
stepped up and requested him to stop
doing so. The man refused point
blank to do anything of the kind and
to emphasize his refusal proceeded to
spit deliberately at the officers feet.
Without more ado the man was ar
rested and taken to Headquarters,
where he was charged with violating
the city ordinance against expectorat-
ing in public places.

somewhere in the head and made a
painful wound.
The instant the bear felt the
twinge, he reared on his hind legs,
and, putting his paws up to his head,
tried to pick out the bullet. This,
of course, he did, not with the slight
est idea of the nature of the wound,
but under the delusion that a splinter
or some sharp object had penetrated
his flesh. which he could easily push
away with his paw.
without waiting to see the eff
feet of my shot, ran in a direction
that would allow me to pass around
my brute enemy, made a tremendous
leap down the ridge, alighting on
my feet with such momentum as to
lose my balance. l was precipitated
forward on my face, and, bruised
and stunned, rolled to the bottom
far more expeditiously than my feet
could possibly have carried me.
1T was at this moment that the
bear, recovering from the momen-
tary bewlderment occasioned by the
shot, and raging and furious from
his wound. locked around for me in
order to wreak his vengeance. Not
having seen my unceremOnious de-
scent, the brute still looked above
him, and now comes the singular part
of my adventure
AT the very moment the bear
reached the summit the two Indians
in pursuit of me also put in an APP
pearance, the opposing parties being
within 10 feet of each other before
either knew it. The encounter was
so sudden that the foremost savage
may be said to have run directly into
the monsters grasp, and the fury of
the latter was so great that he was
not particular as to who fell into his
power, provided he secured some one
to revenge himself upon.
zone of the redskins was doomed,
while the remaining one had the mar
rowest escape of his life. The agon-
lied yells of the Indians gave me
the true nature of affairs, and so soon
as l was able l crawled to my feet
and got away from the spot, which
had come so near witnessing my own
death I walked on and on, until,
just as the bright sun tipped the
eastern sky with red, the Stars and
Stripes above Camp Brown gladdened
my weary eyes"

Contractors admit that they do not
want to hire Americans. They say
they can get more work out of men
who can not talk English. 1t is be-
lever, however, that the real reason
for the embargo which has been plac-

fields is prompted by desire to get
men who are unfamiliar with the

The law is clear. 1t states that no

NEW ORLEANS, August O.
The profits the south is reaping
from last years record breaking
cotton crop will easily tide over
the present year when probably the
smallest crop in 20 years will be
raised.
The acreage planted in cotton
last year was 31,730.371. This year
there are not perhaps more than
$4,000, 600 acres.
Last years crop will be 13,500,-
900 bales when it is all marketed.
as it will be by the last of next
month. 1t will bring an average of
10 cents a pound. In January cot
ton sold as low as $50 cents. Now
it is selling between IL and IL
cents. and owing to the disaster to
this years crop much cotton will
doubtless be sold at Is cents.
At 10 cents pound on the aver
age, the $500 .000-bale crop of last
year will net the farmers of the
south $ 100000.
There are 500 pounds of cotton in
bale. All prices are based on
"middling." meaning the class of
cotton exactly midway between the
poorest and the best quality.
When cotton was selling at $50
cents a pound last January the
planters met in New Orleans 5000
strong and formed the Southern
Cotton association, which agreed
to hold the staple for 10 cents.
There were 4,000,0000 bales left in
the hands of the farmers. They
have held this and none has been
sold for less than 10 cents and a
great deal for u cents. Many of
the farmers are still holding, ask
ing Is cents. By taking this &C
tion the farmers made at least an
average of 4 cents pound on their
cotton, or $40 bale. or a total net
gain to them of $S0,000,000.
A great portion of the cotton
money goes directly into the hands
of the working people of the south
most of whom are negroes, and
fro mtheir hands it gets back into
the hands of the country merch-
ants. A negro man or woman gets
about the same wages in the cot
ton field, in the cultivating season.
so to 60 cents a day, and during
the picking season they are paid by
the hundred pounds and make as
much as 81 and even more.
The negro tenant farmers who
own or lease land and cultivate it
on their own account are now rails
ing about one-half of all the cotton
crop.
The first bale of cotton is always
grown in southern Texas and often
reaches the San Antonio market by
June L. This year the first bale of
cotton reached New Orleans. July.
II. The crop is very late this year.
Nearly every country negro in
the south now who is industrious
rides to town in his own buggy
with real harness. The old ropes
and chains have been discarded.
1t is not uncommon to hear piano
sending forth ragtime melodies
from a negro home, which shows
what they are doing with their
money.
Cotton in the central part of the
belt is all planted before June |.
Picking begins in August and lasts
until January or February of the
next year. Some of the bolls on the
bottom of the stalks are being
picked while blooms continue on
the tops, thus making an early
frost exceedingly dangerous.
When cotton is picked in gunny
sacks it is loaded into wagon
and taken to the neighboring gin.
There the seeds are separated and
the staple baled in bales about six
