COTTON AREA FOR 1906

hdt shall he cotton area of the south be ln l9o6E This question can ue asked by anyone IL can alone be aehhllelA and correctly answered by the great army of cotton growers. ~ho VIII solve the problem for themselves and the world within the next 90 udNs he great cotton convention "tlcll met at New Orleans January ll-l|, lSo6, and the executive commit lee ot the southern Cotton AsSocia- t4oh. which convened at the same place oil January 10th, both, harmon iousll, and without dissenting 'olce, passed and recommended the following resolutions
 Believing that the 2a per cent re- "uctloh Ill cotton acreage, recon mehded and insisted upon by the southern Cotton Association al it's meeting at New Orleans year ago "as eminentiy wise and salutary, this NoMmlttee suggests with all the in sSIehce al its command that for the fedi 1906 the Cotton Association en- 0eaN"i to continue that work, 10 the euu that the original D per cent re- uoetloh from the acreage of 1904 may 'e accomplished for the year 1906. y

The man who re uuced b per cent last year is expect- eu to cut his acreage another l0 Der cent this year. In other words. il i, imperative that The cotton area plant eu on every farm in the South ti>h year shall be at least D per cent less that planted in the spring of 1904.
 ms Is easily understood and should oe strictly carried into practical oper. atlon II the advice of the best brains rom le ading Southern farmers the southern Cotton Association and the pefils of oyerpfoduction are to be needed. The farmers are veneraly getting into q position of thrift and oepehdence. This is due to the fact that for the past few years. Nith put one exception. the crops of cotton grown, have not materially exceeded the demands for consumption. and iairly good prices have prevailed.
 DiNERsIFICATIoN THE wAT,Hwopn
 That the area planted in cotton last year Was loo large there can be no question of doubt. But for the bad climatic conditions preyailipo in the southwestern states. we would have produced over l2.OoO GOO bales and suffered tremendous depression in prices. With the area planted in l9oo, which amounted to 27.oo0, ,0oo acres, il is easily possible. with nor mai seasons. to produce crop of over i',"',ooo bales. What is the sensible thing To do: cut the acreage and hold production within the limits oi consumption al good prices. or plant largely. produce superabund. antly, and sell al ruinous prices. This k the question which now con. fronts every cotton grower in the south. Diyefsiiieation is the key note To the proper solution of the problem Plant more land in food supply crops: less land in cotton: live at home, and sell your staple crops slowly, and al prices showing q profit on the years labor. Cotton is today the cheapest commodity on the mar ket, figuring the true cost of it's pro duction.
 The true doctrine of diyersihcation and reduction in cotton acreage will be preached from every hill top and valley, by the officers and members of the Southern Cotton Association. during the next so days The entire southern press will be urged Ia lift it's voice in behalf of these two fun damental propositions upon which the South must stake her fortunes in 1906. The wise man will heed this advice, and exercise every possible influence over any of his neighborS who are not disposed 10 exercise pru- dence before il k too late Make
 
 happy and prosperous.
 As the markets of the world are gradually broadehed and the demand increases, then, and not till then. let the acreage planted in cotton be in C reased. Regulate the supply To meet the present existing demand for con sumption. and thereb, have q con trolling voice i'll the prices of the raw product. No power on earth can con trol price, when the legitimate laws of supply and demand are recklessly disregarded The farmers are the ar biterS of their future fortu unes We will point the way 10 success. Pause and reflect before il is too late.

 TROUBLE of LONG STANDING.
 The trouble which has grown se- rious. had it's origin several years ago when the Rock Island and other lines began to put iii low rates in the in- terest of developing the Southwest. . For wears the western roads had zc- cepted tenders If low rates made by the southeastern roads with the view 10 c0lonizing the South and South east When the western lines ten defed low rates in the interests 0 their territory the southeastern roads demurred and have ever since been calling for conference.

Objection Was especially made to the found trip rate of - per cent oi the ole WaY fare which is put into effect during the fall months. All roads except the Rock Island express ed q willingness To raise the rates.

WILL WIDEN HILL STREET
After Long Wait Property Owners
Are Delighted With Outlook
for immediate Work

After two years of preparation the
widening of Hill street, from Sixth to
Pico, is at last assured and work on
the project will begin within the pres
ent month. The board of public works
has taken the last step necessary to
the big enterprise.
Under the specifications Hill street
will be widened from 80 to 92 feet at
a cost of nearly 100000. Property
owners on Hill street appeared before
the board yesterday morning in an
effort to hasten the work and were
agreeably surprised when they learned
it had progressed to the point of be-
ginning work.
Van Ness street was also brought
to the attention of the board yeSter-
day morning through property own
ers who asked that 1t be improved be-
fore the rains set in this winter. This
street is practically storm drain for
the section of the city in which 1T is
located, and in rainy weather is al
most impossible.

HARD FIGHT WON
BY HOUGHTON
COUNCIL SELECTS SITE FOR
ENGINE HOUSE
Lot on Fifty-second Street, Between
Central Avenue and Hooper
Avenue, Is Ordered
Purchased

Councilman Houghton has won his
fight for an engine house on Fifty-sec-
ong street between Central and Hooper
avenues.
The council yesterday voted to buy
the lot that Houghton has had his eye
on ever since the proposition of fur
nishing more fire protection for the
Sixth ward came before the council.
1t was purchased from e. T. Wheeler
for $40 and Mr.. Wheeler told the
council he had shaved off every penny
of his commission in order to have the
engine house located on that site. The
lot is so feet wide by 21S feet long and
1t is capable of accommodating a large
and well equipped engine house.
Not only did the council agree to the
purchase of this site, but 1t appropria-
ted $4,000 for the puchase of a lot some
where in the vicinity of Main and Mo-
meta streets on which to erect another
new engine house. This was done at
the request of Councilman Smith, in
whose ward the new house will be
built.
Fire Commission Protests
The fire commission held a special
meeting yesterday to protest against
the Fifty-second street site and the
clerk sent the following to the council:
cat a special meeting of the board of
fire commissioners held today / was in
structed to present a written commune
cation earnestly protesting against the
purchase of an engine house site on
Fifty-second street, between Central
and Hooper avenues, for the following
reasons:
"This location being too close to the
southeastern boundary line of the city
where 1t is but sparsely settled in COM
parison with other sections of the Sixth
ward. Also there are but three fire
hydrants east of Compton avenue and
south of Forty-sixth street.
None of the streets east of Hooper
avenue are graded and Fifty-second
street is not cut through east of Hooper
avenue.
"The proposed location will not afford
efficient service to the territory in the
vicinity of Main street and Moneta
avenue where the district is thickly
populated.
"The nearness to a new school build
ing which is being. erected is an OBJ
jectionable feature"
This carried a recommendation that
site be purchased in the vicinity of
South Park and Forty-sixth street.
The Vernon Improvement association
also entered vigorous protest against
the purchase of the Fifty-second street
lot. This association was anxious to
have 1t nearer Forty-ninth street, but
when 1t was shown that Vernon was
fairly well protected without the new
engine house the council voted to give
it to petitioners.
Houghton made a hard fight, and as
soon as he knew he had won it he COL
lapsed almost completely and had to
be taken home in his motor car.

HALF STARVED
BOY is FOUND
a. HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TO EAT"
HE soBs
Found In Shack, He Is cheered by
Promise Of Food-HIs Father
Arrested on Suspicion Of
Petty Larceny

Found living in a shack, unfit for a
dog kennel, 9-year-old Joe Zielke was
taken to the detention home yesterday
to be washed. fed and clothed, while
his father, Edwin Zielke was locked
UP in the city Jail on suspicion Of petty
larceny.
Patrolman Frank Bartlett arrested
the man near ZIG East Fourth street,
and a little later Detective Hosick sue
ceeded in locating the boy. who ran
like a frightened rabbit from the of
ficer.
In the rear of lot where waste lum-
Der was piled the officers found lean
to, constructed of boards AM gunny
sacks.
Inside was collection of articles, in
Guiding some valuable books, which
the police believe are stolen property.
Lived on Scraps
zielke said he as a ranchman, work.
ing for 81 a day, and being unable to
rent a room he constructed temporary
shelter, in which he and his boy lived.
Joe Zielke seemed honest looking, and
he was certainly half starved.

Desk Sergeant Sparks. with sobs that
almost choked his utterance. II hev

to eat and others jest told me to go
away and not bother"
Had bath lately, Joe?" asked one
of the bystanders.
"Huh? No, l hain't had no baths.
But 1 used ter go swimmin' up in Santa
Barbara" and the boys face broke into
smiles at the recollection. Joe said his
mother was living. but he didn't know
just where she was. He said his father
brought him to Los Angeles from Santa
Barbara.
Bright Prospects
Joe frightened up considerably when
told he would get three big meals day
at the detention home and be treated
finely by the motherly matron who
looks after the boys.
Joe didn't ask to see his father, and
he seemed more concerned to hasten to
the unknown home where he would get
plenty to eat to fill UP his poor, lean
body and bring back health to his wan
little face, grmed with dirt
So the lad grasped the hand of De-
tective Hosick in a confiding way and
climbed into the patrol wagon, and
soon he was seated at a table in the
detention home, eating as perhaps he
had not eaten before since leaving his
mother years ago.
