DENVER, Col, May 9.-The Ameri-
can Stock Growers association began
it's first annual convention in this city
today. Governor Mcdonald welcomed
the delegates. Everything indicates
that affiliation with the National Live
Stock association is out of the ques-
ton for the present.
The convention will discuss means
of securing better rates and better
service from the railroads, and also
fighting the alleged combination of
packers.

area which is called sea, and some
of the lakes and canals are well
shown.
1t is now generally conceded by
those who have carefully studied the
planet that all these markings are
due to vegetation. They are all more
or less variable with the seasons.
The seas are so well shown in
large telescopes that we can judge
of their color. In spring they are
found to be green, in summer gray,

FAIR PRICE FOR COTTON. /.

has lust sent out the following:
'sThe South is to be congratulated
on the prospects for general pros
perity during the next eighteen
months. The loyalty of Southern
farmers in standing together during
the last three months of the year
and holding their staple off de-
pressed cotton market and follow
ing this by curtailing production
for 1905 by materially reducing the
cotton acreage and use of guano un-
der cotton is more largely response
bic for the present condition of good
prices than all other causes COM
bined.
"The loyalty of Southern bankers,
cotton men, fertilizer companies and
business men generally who have so
generously contributed funds to the
Association, and the Southern press
which, during the hard struggle of
the farmers for the past six months
to whip in the fight they had under
taken, has done such valiant and eff
fective rublic service without price,
and other highly important factors,
unite in making possible existing
conditions.
"All of these things coupled with
bad seasons following in the wake of
a heavily reduced acreage and an
enormous demand for spot cotton
by the spinners of the world gives
to cotton the strongest statistical
position it has occunied in many
years. If crop conditions do not
rapidly improve the supply of raw
cotton for consumption in 1906 will
fall far short of the demand and
prices will go very much higher. But
abnormally high prices will be as
dangerous for the future to the pro-
ducer and spinner as abnormally low
prices. and we must endeavor to be
conservative and consistent.
at will be the Part of wisdom for
speculative interests that would tend
to drive the price of spot cotton
above II cents per pound just as it
is imperative that no farmer should
ever again sell a pound of middling
cotton under 10 cents per pound. Let
us not encourage inflated prices that |
will hamper the mills, curtail con-
of cotton and encourage
the growth of the staple in foreign |
fields. We hold a complete monop-
oily of the cotton industry of the |
world up to II cents per pound and |
at that price good profits to the pro-
ducer can be realized.
"The recent advance in cotton is |
many farmers already to
sell their crop for delivery in Octo-
Der. This is bad policy and if gen
orally indulged in will deluge such
an enormous amount of the staple
on the market during that month as
to break prices and prove injurious
to those who must sell. Learn to
market the crop slowly and do not |
go into speculative propositions.
"By cooperative action refuse to
sell any cotton under 10 cents and
so market the staple as to keep the
legitimate demand active and healthy !

PAPER TRUST ON RACK
JUDGE DECIDES THAT WITNESSES
MUST ANSWER QUERIES.
Attorneys for the Combine Make a
Strong Fight, But the Court Does
Not Favor Arguments.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Judge Vandeventer in the United
States circuit court heard arguments
Yesterday as to the right of the federal
govrnment to compel the directors of
the General Paper company to testify
concerning the operations of the COM
pany in the suit brought against it by
the government.
Judge Flanders, Milwaukee, chief
counsel for the paper company. asked
yesterday morning that the court delay the
argument until the United States SUI
preme court had decided similar ques-
lions involved in like cases on its cal
endar for the term beginning next
week.
F. B. Kellogg, for the government,
opposed this, insisting that no good rea
son existed for the delay asked, as the
Minnesota proceeding need not be de-
layed pending the controversy in other
cases.
Judge Vandeventer said that so long
as the counsel could not agree to a
continuance he would not grant one,
there being nothing to show that sim
liar cases necessarily be decided upon
the principal questions involved in the
Minnesota case. a1aft
Argument was then begun upon the
main question as to the authority of
the government to compel B. +. Nelson,
Minneapolis; A. C. Besshard, Grand
Rapids, and c. 1. McNair, Cioquet, to
answer questions concerning the opera
tions of the company in which they are
directors
Mr.. Kellogg opened the argument, de-
claring that witness had the right to
refuse to answer questions, merely be-
cause his attorney might advise him
they were not material, as was the case
in some of the questions the paper mill
men refused to answer.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. kellogg con-
tinued his argument especially on the
question as to whether the proceedings
came within the prohibitions of the
amendments to the federal constitution
protecting citizens against unlawful
search and seizure" and compelling
person to testify against himself.

district has been to Redwing and to
The Republican of that city he made
the statement that he looked forward
to the coming session of congress antici-
pating working session one that
would accomplish a good deal of wise
and beneficial legislation. Congress
man Davis is in favor of a revision
of the tariff. He believes in revision
that will make change in some of
she schedules where at the present time
Special interests are in his judgment
unduly favored. He does not have any
sympathy with that ''standpatism'
which would not only "let well enough
alone" but which insists on letting the
tariff question absolutely alone regard
less of whether it is well enough or not
ANY particular set of schedules is not
sacred to him. He is concerned wholly
that they shall be so shaped that they
will most benefit the mass of the people
Mr.. Davis if of the opinion that this
idea of moderate and wisely discrim.
mating tariff is held by large ma
jority of the house. There are some
able leaders, however, who are rigid
standpatters and they will do what they
can to prevent any changes in schedules
Congressman Davis expresses the
sentiments of large portion of the
republican party. The tariff schedules
are not to be compared with the sac
richness of Holy Writ, and that some
of them should be changed is the belief
of those republicans who are not in ia
vor of fostering special interests at
at the expense of the people.
The question of legislation that will
prevent unjust discrimination by rail
roads, Mr. Davis thinks, will result in
remedies which will prove satisfactory

dent on this rate problem and thinks
