er prices that most we'll posted men
believe will prevail if cotton is not

fit alike of farmer and manufacturer
the world must be educated to pay
little more for cotton cloth. The
present way to do that work of educa-
ton is not to force the cotton on the
market too quickly.
If the worldwide prosperity
brought about by the great production

why will not these conditions put up

WHAT WILL THIS YEARS COT
TON CROP BRING THE
FARMERS?

Two causes have operated in the
past to work injuriously against
Southern cotton farmers and manu-
facturers.
/. The farmer has had to borrow
money TO make his crop and was
forced to sell all his cotton as soon az
it was ready for the market in order
to meet his obligations:
2. The cotton manufacturers have
worked with small capital and have
not had enough ready money to buy
their cotton when it was cheap, but
have been compelled to buy their
supply of cotton when it was need
ed.
The best thing for the farmer and
the Southern mill would be a cOndi-
ton by which the farmers could hold
their cotton until the mill men were
ready to use it, and for the cost from
the farm to the mill not to exceed
one dollar per bale-fifty cents for
handling and fifty cents for freight.
The farmer ought to sell almost as
much cotton in June as he sells in Oc-
tober. Then the mill owner would
save the interest and costs and uncer-
tainty of buying and storage; the far
mer would get better prices because
the market would not be glutted in
the fall; and much of the profits that
have gone to middlemen who mad
money to buy cheap in October and
November would be divided between
the manufa cturer and the grower.

CONSIDERING
new BOND ISSUE
County Commissioners Must De-
eide at this Meeting to Accept
the Ten Year Option.

The board of county commissioners
must decide at this meeting how they
will deal with the option to redeem
the 1895 bond issue. The county
bonds issued in November 1885, were
20 year bonds redeemable in ten years
at the option of the county. The issue
was for ss5.OO0 and the interest rate is
per cent. If the county is to take
advantage of its option to redeem, it
must call for special election of the
people to vote for a new issue. The
new bonds could probably be placed
at per cent making an annual saw
ing to the county of about a thousand
dollars. The commissioners have also
the power to make the best terms
they can with the holder of the bonds
and may continue the present issue at
a lower rate If they can reach such
an agreement. Just what they will do
is not yet agreed upon. 1t win cost
the county about $4,000 to hold a
special election.
The commissioners have granted per-
mission to the Lapwai Lumber COM
! pany to run lumber and wood fiume
along over and under the A. w. Con-
| way road. The flume will be from the
! Golden Rule mill to Culdesac a dis
tance of 13 miles.

CABIN ROOSEVELT LIVED IN

three vars while he was a rancher has

as a part of the state of North Dako-

it was when the president lived in 1t
as a cowboy. 1t stands near the south

the future presidents only home for
nearly three years, and in it he lived
the life Of a cowboy.
In the cabin there viii be exhibited
also a number Of interesting mementos
Of the presidents life at that period.
An old straw hat which Mr.. Roosevelt
wore when he went to the ranch. but
which was discarded shortly afterward
as unsuitable to the kind Of life he
must lead was found in an old sack
in a corner OF the cabin, and will be
shown to visitors at the western
worlds fair. Other relics include the
presidents old gun. his chaps" boots
and the war bag in which he stored
these articles when he gave up his
cowboy life.
While the Roosevelt cabin will prob
ably prove the most popular feature
Of it's participation, North Dakota will
have a most interesting display at the
fair. The citizens Of that state are
proud Of it's resources, and when the
legislature refused to appropriate

A force Of workmen are now engaged
in overhauling the Steamer J. M. Han
naford that for several years has been
lying idle at the Lewiston docks. and
the report has gone out that the boat
is to be put in commission at once for
work on the river. The ]. M. Hanna
ford Is the property Of the Northern
Pacific, and the activity manifested
at this time fits into the chain Of events
that leads to the assertion they will
soon announce plans for immediate
construction in the Clearwater country
In such construction the Hanniford
would be a valuable agent in facilitat-
ing the work Of building the line along
the Snake river from Reparia to Lew
iston and an announcement to that
effect would not surprise the people
who insist that there has been a mer-
ger Of interests in the territory Of the
Clearwater and that the connecting
link between Lewiston and Reparia
will be built and also line extending
from some point on the Clearwater to
Camas prarie.
1t would be in direct line with such
developement to place the steamer In
commission at this time and the force
Of a dozen men who are now employed
at the work can have the boat ir
readiness in three weeks. 1t Is giver
out that the Hannaford is to be used
in the construction OF new bridge
across the Columbia at Pasco but ths
more plausible theory is that the boa
is needed to deliver material and sup
plies to the camps along the river ant
that such construction will begir
shortly after the boat is ready.
