The Avoyelles Blade thus cor
rectly sums up the cotton situa
ton: "The cotton market is about
balancing itself. One day it is a
rise OF a few points to be lost the
next, and thus this see-saw busi-
ness has been going on for the
past two months. The market
will continue stationary until it is
clearly known what the farmers
have done about the acreage busi-
ness. If there is a cut, as it is
hoped there will be, then there
will follow rise in prices; if the
acreage has not been reduced, in
that case we can look for a fall
in prices. Thus it is that the
whole situation is in the hands of
the farmers, and to be determined
within the next four weeks.

To keep up with the procession
the State Board of Appraisers
managed to find increased values
in the railroad, telephone, tele-
graph and express properties ag-
gregating about three millions.
The raising of the assessments is
an offset for the fall in the price
of cotton and rice, and it removes
all ideas that might get abroad
that the decline in these products
had depressed things somewhat.
The big showing in the assess
ments will, on the contrary, leave
the impression that the State was
enriched by these declines.-The
People.
But how about the ''impres-
sion, it will leave on the tax

At the second meeting a committee was
appointed to labor with the spectators,
to the end that reduction in the price
asked be obtained. We are not told
what arguments were used by the COM
mittee, but their work was eminentlY
successful, the owners of the lands
agreeing to take $l5 an acre, which price
is satisfactory to the government. The
citizens Of Nampa have shown that they
will not tolerate any kind Of holduI
propositions, and are to be congratu-
lated on the broadminded public spirit
exhibited in dealing with this matter.

Is the situation that the farmers have

During the past two weeks % engines

calculated will irrigate 30 acres.
In addition to the Long Tom reservoir

Overwhelming sentiment IN favor of
