President Halvie Jordan of the southern Cotton association has issftssi the following statement:

Statistcs as a g@n. eral rule may be somewhat tilesome but when they are based upon facts they should at all times be carefully studied.
 "NoW what are the facts. The com mercial crop of 190405, that is, the amolnt of cotton placed upon the mar ket and sold, amounted to 133@3, ,163.H .H>o bales.

CIRCUIT COURT

this case the packages were put up
and labelled as oleomargarine and
the product was sold as oleomarga-
rine, and the oleomargarine was roa
cOlOred to deceive, that no offence
was committed under this law N
the sale of this product.
It became evident IN the progress
of this trial that the state rested it's
claim for conviction upon the
ground that cotton seed OH was OF a
reddish color and gave to the cleo
margarine in question more Of q
butter color than it would have had
if cotton seed oil was not used, and
that therefore the oil in question is
within the prohibition Of the law
because IN the manufacture Of this
grade cotton. seed oil was not used
prior to 1902. But cottOn-seed OH
was used as the testimony shows IN
the cheap grade of oleomargarin =
before the Act of 1901, and as that
act expressly provides that Is IS not
intended to prohibit the manufaet-
ure of oleomargarine and makes NO
exception 1T cannot be held to pro
hibit the use of cotton seed Oil IN
any grade of oleomargar1ne.
This, Gentlemen, is my view OF
this case and this being so I esteem
it my duty to direct you to find a
verdict of not guilty.

DOCK At SEATTLE IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Seattle. May Fire which broke
out at $3.50 o'clock this morning prac-
tically destroyed the Arlington dock,
foot of University street. For several
minutes after the fire was discovered
the entire waterfront seemed threat
ened, and it was an hour before the
flames were under control.
The army transport Sherman, lying
in the slip south of the dock. caught
fire and was only saved by the prompt
work and excellent discipline of the
jackies aboard. As soon as the flames
were seen shooting from the ware
house the night Waterman of the Sher.
man turned in his fire alarm and the
crew came swarming from their quar-
tiers. A line of hose was laid and at
8 :33 q stream of water was shooting
from the transport.
Army stores of ammunition were on
the dock and twice series of explo-
sions broke out, lasting several min.
utes, making the disaster resemble q
sham battle and at the same time en-.
dangering the firemen.
Besides the explosives on the dock
were several hundred tons of -four and
hay, besides about 500 tons of general
merchandise, which was for the cargo
Of the Sherman for the Orient. This
is a complete loss, except the canned
goods.

TRAINS RUN into new
SEATTLE union DEPOT

Seattle, May 9.-The ticket Offices
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railways will be moved to the
new Union depot at the close of bust
ness tonight. After the arrival and
departure of the last trains Of the two
Hill lines tonight the use of the build
ing which has served the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific as common
depot at the foot of Columbia street
will be discontinued for that purpose,
and commencing with the first trains
Thursday morning all trains will ar
rive and depart from the new depot
yards, discontinuing service on CO.
lumbla street.
Owing to the fact that the interior
of the depot building is still uncom-
pleted it has been decided not to hold
any formal opening of the building at
this time. A public dedication OF the
building will be held, however, at q
later date, to be determined when the
workmen turn over the completed de-
not to the operating department OF The
roads. This will probably be in from
thirty to forty days.
