 New Orleans oct 7.--The Improvement in the market today was due to reports of possible squeeze in the December option at New York. and to advices of heavy rains Tn Arkansas Tennessee. Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. The movement of crop to the ports is of very small proportions, ar rivals at all ports today were only 45,0oo. against es00o last year and 53,000 year be- fore last. since Friday 77.0o0 vs. 10000 and 114,000. Estimates for receipts at New Or leans and Galveston tomorrow combined are for 17.00o to 2l,000 vs. 57.o0o last year. while Houston expects Ia. 900 to 15,000 com pared with 37.o0o one year ago.
 Notwithstanding the local labor strike, re- ceipts at New Orleans hold out pretty well. the light movement being confined almost to Texas, where the crop Is short and where it is said that farmers holding about 70 percent ef their cotton. Europe does not appear to be very much concerned over the holding movement on the part Of the farmers of the South. Liverpool in the face of such small arrivals having closed at Q decline of nine to twelve points today anc while spots sales there were larger than or late, 1t required the making of concessions to induce the making of larger purchases the days business amounting to 10.eeo at a decline of seven points. E1rope's fndf- ference. however. was overlooked for the time being because of rumors of manipu- lation in the northern market It Is said that it is inevitable that sharp squeeze if not an actual corner will be made in Qe- cember contracts In New York Report has it that group of operators 1t is salo anticipate that November revision commit tee. will. at its meeting next month, further forward their plans by again reducing the differences in high grades thereby making 1t increasingly difficult to bring cotton from the South to New York
 Acting on this theory the manipulators talk about receiving all cotton offered or December contracts in New York and ma- nipulating the market against shorts op the improved character of the contract made so by the new rules which take effect after January lst. Receiver of cotton on Decem- Der contracts in New York, however will have to find market after the opening of part with such cotton at a great sacrifice. Furthermore whatever quantity of cotton that might pass under the new rules would have to bear the cost of recertification.
 Yours very truly,

A Commemorate Spirit.
". Il. HANN4FORD. EDITOR

The Enterprise scribe is not the
only one who has noted and re-
marked the admirable trait of the
Hibbingites in standing together
in aught for the advancement OF
their town, a trait which has won
the approval of many and has re.
suited in substantial improvements
in business and social conditions
for the community. In speaking
OF this spirit of unity among its
business men the Tribune of last
issue says: "Whatever may be their
personal differences, the business
men of Hibbing are a quick and
vigorous unit for anything that
will better the town and bring more
business to the busiest city on the
Minnesota iron ranges"
It is an old adage-and true one
- that "Comparisons are odious,"
but in comparison of the spirit
exemplified by Hibbingites and the
residents of other range cities the
odium is the fault only of citizens
and their deplora BILE lack of unity;
rather, perhaps, the subserviance
by some of all pride in the public
welfare to their personal aspira-
tons and personal glorifcation.
In the city of Virginia this point
has been remarked by many, and it
IS generally conceded that this
spirit of antagonism and personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT on the part of a
certain few has had much to do
with driving from our midst. a
number of men of wealth and in
fuence-men who were credit to
the city and who were always to the
fore in substantial exemplifications
of their faith in Virginia. d s5.,5

" mere 10 = room in any city for any
man q ct honest motives, BUTT is "a.
matter of common remark that
Virginia harbors an element Of tim
horn knockers without whom this
city could get along much better
than it can do without some from
the range whose removal is in great
measure attributable to the spirit
OF anlmosity showered upon them
by these political parasites whose
enm'ty had been gained through
their fight for honest government
in municipal affairs.
These are plain words, but are
not intended to be taken personally
unless their trend fits the reader.
In such case they are meant literal

THE BIWABIK TINES editor, who
while employed in similar capa-
city on the Virginia Star was hailed
before the city council and made
to "eat his words" relative to ac-

Mayor Eaton (the friend of the poor
mans cow will obtain substantial
judgment against The Enterprise
scribe in his suit for $4,000 for the
alleged harm done his reputation.
The opinion of the Times editor,
however, has been known to mis-
carry. It will be remembered that
he predicted the defeat of Senator
Vail in his political aspirations. A
wonderfully convincing writer,
true, but not infallible, evidently.

THE B1WABIK TINES of last issue
denotes a pronounced preference
toward the reelection of J. Adam

IN speaking of county division
we believe the Virginia Commercial
Club appointed committee about
a year ago to do certain things re-
lative to bringing the subject more
prominently before the people of
the range. The Enterprise has not
as yet been accorded the pleasure
of reproducing any written report
submitted.
THE editor of this highly respect
able family journal has been told
that certain Virginian went armed
with gun, ostensibly for fear
someone would rob him of his rep
utation. Don't believe his fears
are we'll grounded, but if by chance
someone should steal the valued
asset we fear not but that it would
be returned after the purloiner had
discovered the prize.
WITH this issue The Enterprise
presents it's readers with a supple

New Naturalization Law is Strict,

Inc new naturalization law is
liable to catch some homesteaders
mapping If they don't keep their
eyes open. Before making final
proof the foreign-born person who
is not citizen of the United States
must post his application to be-
come such 60 days before the term
of the district court at which the
same is to be heard. Thus, if the
time limit in which proof is to be
made has nearly expired, no oppor-
tunity will be given to make ap-
plication for citizenship papers un-
less special term of court is had.
Anyone not citizen whose time to
make final proof expires before
next June will be required to COM
mute on free government home
stead lands. It doesn't always pay
to put off till tomorrow what can be
done today.

coal lands have hitherto been taken

coal lands have hitherto been taken
under some forms of entry other than
those of the coal entry laws and in
many cases by actual fraud. The adj
ministration will certainly renew its
efforts to get congress to pass a law
which will do away with the fraud.
"The writers Of this program state
that the plan for government control
of range submitted to congress last
winter involved the perpetual owner
ship of the lands by the government.
This statement is not in accord with
the facts. This proposed law specifi-
cally provided that the range land
under government control should be
open to entry or location under all of
the public land laws, and provided in
every way for the protection of the
rights of the settlers. AS matter of
fact, one of the prime reasons for ad-
yocating its passage is because if en-
acted it would safeguard the rights.
s.As to the forest reserves, their
creation has damaged just one class
the managers and owners of great
lumber companies, which by illegal,
fraudulent or unfair methods have de-
sired to get possession Of the valuable
timber Of the public domain to skin
the land and to abandon it when inn
poverished we'll night to the point of
worthlessness.
1T has been alleged that the gov
ernment intends to make the users of
water for irrigation pay for their
water. There never has been any
such intention, and no such course
will ever be followed while the pres
ent administration is in existence. But
owners of water power within nation
al forests should certainly pay some
thing for the valuable services rem
dered to them by the government.
They are not being charged, and can
not be charged for the waterpower,
as far the national government is
concerned, but for the protection to
their water sheds which they them
selves would have to bear the cost Of
supplying if the government did not
supply it for them"
Mr. Garfield said it was the policy
of the interior department to put an
actual settler on every acre of agri,
cultural land of the forest reserves
The secretary denied the intention to
do anything unconstitutional in re,
gard to the public lands.
After prolonged discussion the re
port of the committee on resolutions
was adopted and the convention ad
journed sine die.

THE "BLAck KID" EXECUTES a
NERvY ROBBERY.
PASSENGER PASSES HAT
Cody Talks With Driver as Vaiuables
Are Being Gathered, After Which
He Calmly Eats Lunch and Then
Disappears.

San Francisco, June 20.-A special
from Berenda says.
Two stages of the Yosemite Stage
company were held up by BLACK Kid"
the famous lone highwayman of Ma
deria and Mariposa counties, on the
way from Raymond to the Yosemite,
last night at point called "Seiga" in
Madeira county. Sixteen passengers
on the two stages were robbed of
money and valuables and compelled
to hold their hands up an hour. One
or two in the party were Frustrated
with heat and excitement.
Sheriff Jones of Madeira was tele-
phoned to from Berenda and has al
ready left for the mountains
This is the same bandit who has
held up the Yosemite stages in pre-
vious years and at the same place.
Wawona, Cal, June 20-Two of the
regular stages from Raymond, bound
for Wawona, were held up and 16 pas
sengers relieved Of their valuables yes
terday by the Black Kid" the fam
GUS lone bandit of this section. Yes
terday afternoon in the locality of his
former successes, the bandit stood at
the side of the road with an old rusty
Al Winchester rifle, leveled at Archie
Turner, the driver. He called upon
Turner to hold up his hands, and COM
PEELED the passengers to do likewise.
He waited until the second stage ap-
peared, when he commanded all the
passengers to alight and hold up their
hands. The bandit singled out Francis
D. Eaton of Boston to pass the hat,
demanding of the frightened passen-
gers their nurses and watches. After
having made the collection, Eaton was
compelled to tie the wealth, consist
ing of several articles Of jewelry and
$3.50, in a handkerchief and pass 1t
over to the robber. While the collect
ing process was going on the robber
compelled Mrs. Eaton to stand behind
him, thus using her as snield from
any attack from the rear. While walt
ing for the second stage and when the
collection was going on, the bandit
talked pleasantly with the driver. The
robber helped himself to some peaches.
potatoes and crackers from the stage,
remarking that he had a hard night
before him. When he had finished
the general holdup and replenishing
of his stock of foodstuffs. he ordered
the passengers back into the stages
and commanded the drivers to go on.
