Boston, July 31.-Th5 wool market

increased and the promise is for
steady, trade in the future. Fleece
wools are in a healthful position,
During the week the market was quiet
in all grades. owing to the firm clos

price of high crossbreds was fully
maintained. the tendency of the mar

ever, seem to be beginning to realize
that woods suitable for their use are
now about as low as they will be for
some time. though outside of one or
two of the larger mills, the greater
part of the buying has been by the
smaller mills, especially the dress

TO PLANT WINTER Z
WHEAT ON C|TYS
LAANDON THE MESA
Business Men of albuquerque
viii Look Into Question Of
Trying Dry Farming Expert
ment on Ground East of City
SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY
ACRES TO BE PLANTED

Six hundred and forty acres of land
on the mesa east of Albuquerque will
probably be planted in winter wheat
this year to thoroughly test the
Campbell dry farming system. The
experiment will be watched with great
interest by farmers and the public
generally. The land on the mesa is
similar to that upon which dry farm
ing has proved successful elsewhere.
At the meeting last night of the
directors of the Commercial club the
regular irrigation committee was in
structed to at once look into the mat
ter of planting a crop of winter wheat
on the city's $40 acres at the military
well on the mesa east of the Univer-
sity. 1t is the purpose to employ an
expert and have the experiment made
under the best possible conditions. If
a good crop of wheat is realized 1t
will mean that Albuquerque has to Of
fer to homeseekers unlimited farming
land close to the leading city of the
two territories.
This will be by far the most extern
sive experiment tried in the south
west. The trial on the Las Vegas
grant Is being carried on on only $40
acres. The land to be used here Is
that recently given to this city by an
act of congress.
The committee which has the mat
ter in hand consists of Governor e. ).
Slower. chairman; Colonel John Bor-
rodaile, w. w. Strong, A. B. McGaf-
fey and e. w. Dobson. The commit
tee is instructed to get busy" with

At last nights meeting of the di'

build the 'low line ditch" an irriga-
ton system to reclaim thousands of
acres of land on the mesa east and
west of the Rio Grande above and
adjacent to Albuquerque.
The scheme was formally laid before
the club and the purposes of the corn
pany fully set forth. After discussing
the matter the club appointed the
following committee to confer with
the projectors of the irrigation sys-
tenn; Messrs. George Arnot, Frank w.
Clancy, G.. w. Harrison, d. A. Mac
pherson and B. ii. Briggs. These
gentlemen are given full power to act
by the club and it is their intention to
assist the land company in every pos
sible way to put the scheme through.
The importance of the scheme is fully
realized by every business man in Al
buquerque and the members of the
Commercial club are fully convinced
of the feasibility of the scheme ana
the ability of the new company to
carry it through. There is abundant
capital to draw on and as announced
in these columns few days ago the
work of digging the main thirty mile
canal will begin within thirty days
at the north end of the proposed sys-
tenn, on the Jemez river and Rio
Grande north of Albuquerque.

George Washington No Sailor"

A Baltimore school teacher, says
the American Boy, was telling one
day Of how often the instructor of
"the young idea" is atonished by
the quickness of wit exhibited by the
pupil who is otherwise deficient.
One day, says this teacher, she had
encountered such a degree Of ignor-
ance and mental obtuseness on the
part Of one of her boys that she be-
came disheartened. So it was with
considerable sarcasm that she said to
the youngster: "-..

TOO MUCH POWER TO COMMITS
4I&5 SION.
The Hepburn Rate Bill Gives Rail
road Commission Power to Dis
criminate in Favor Northern
IL Ports. ,'| ..
Special cor. Herald and News.

Special cor. Herald and News.
Washington, Nov. 12.--When Sen
ators and Representatives from the
Southern States advocated and voted
Tor the Hepburn railroad rate law 1t
was with, the expectation that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would exercise its discretionary pow
ers as to. the filing and posting Of
rates so as to permit the railroads OF
: the South to eqpalize export rates
through Southern ports with those
through Northern ports, thus giving
the cotton planter the benefit Of COM
petition between buyers and carriers.
1t was the general understanding
that this discretion was conferred on
the Commission for the purpose Of
enabling it to except export cotton
rates from the general provision or
the law for thirty days notice of n
change in rates, on account of the
peculiar conditions affecting the ex-
port cotton business of the Southern
ports. At the solicitation Of the roads
of the South, under the lead of the
Southern Railway, the Commission
made an order permitting the old
practice to continue until November
1. That order las not been extended
and the Commission has no. present
purpose Of extending it. 1t is feared
that the result will be to greatly in
jure the export 5uainess Of the South
ern ports and to favor those Of the
North Atlantic, especially New York.
IF this is the case it will be pointed
to as an illustration Of the danger Of
comforting on political commission
at Washington power to divert COM
merce from the section Of the coun-
try to another, power which some
of the advocates Of the Hepburn law
contended was not contained in it, but
which seems to be there to some cN-
tent at least.

While the Southern railways have
not succeeded in having the export
cotton order made permanent they
have secured ruling from the 18TH
mian Canal Commission that will be
of some advantage to the Gulf and
South Atlantic ports and Of Southern
manufacturers and merchants hand
ling goods and supplies needed on the
isthmus. Heretofore all contracts for
such goods have given the contractors
the privilege of shipping to Celon
from New York by the steamer own-
>ed by the government at half the re-
gular sate. The effect of this has
been to discriminate in favor of New
York as the port Of shipment and in
favor Of the manufacturers and mer-
chants Of that place. Hereafter this
provision will be omitted from the
contracts and Southern business men
will have an opportunity to compete.
1t is reported in Washington that
two Lancashire cotton manufacturers
will arrive in the United States with
in few weeks to arrange for. the
purchase and management Of large
cotton plantation at some point i'll the
South. They are said to be back
ed with ample capital and if they are
succeeful other Lancashire mill own
ers will follow their example. Their
plan is to. adopt the most improved
methods Of cultivation, ginning, and
baling and to ship the cotton direct
to their own mills. One Of their OBJ
jects is to give to ginners in the
Southern States an object lesson as to
the proper baling Of cotton so as to
insure it's arrival at the mills in good
order. 1t is also reported that sever
al members of the British Cotton
Growing Association and forty repre-
entatives Of British cotton spinners
will visit the West Indies in Decem-
ber for the purpose of taking steps to
encourage the growing Of cotton In
these islands.
