wear for the last forty years he had never before
seen the general average OF all crops good as IL
is W. He added:
Winter wheat is in good condition practicaiiF
everywhere and the average of corn crop pros

seen the small grains look better. L beieVe ti't
this years crops will mean more dollars TO ule
farmers and more tons of freight to the ralifoads
than they have before
Taking the West a whole. there has been nc
depression. The purchasing power of communities
dependent upon railroad labor has been cut in TWO
and the trade of manufacturing communities mas
suffered severely, but the farmers and farming
communities have had more money in pank'

DIED TRYING TO AID COTTON MEN.
Two Americans, Victims of Philippine
Tribesmen, Hoped to Introduce Staple.

Chicago June g7-According to letters made pub
lie here to-day, Tilden r. Wakely, of Chicago,
and H D. Everett, OF New York, who reported
to have perised at the hands of hill tribes the
island of Negros, in the Philippines, were victims
OF an attempt to benefit the people of the cotton
belt of the United States. The aim Of the two
Americans was largely to ascertain whether the
tree cotton OF long staple, of the Philippines could
be introduced into America
wakely being acquainted with the lons-leaf belt
regions of Southeastern Georgia and North Florida
the tree cotton in the Sea Islands along the cot
ton belt Of the South not with the view of super
se6ng the annual cultivation Of Sea Island cotton,
but with the view of having an increased supply
Of that much desired cotton from the South. The
long-eaf cotton planters II the idea proved feast
BILE could have as many cotton trees possible
and also cultivate much cotton otherwise as
Negros Island, in the Philippines, April %. and
sent with the letter OF the tree cotton and
some seed The letter says:
Will try TO this letter little of the tree
cotton and some seeds The seeds very loose
in the cotton, and trees the coast twice
as big as in the province (meaning at kabankalan)
each tree must produce a bushel and a half Of the
loose cotton.
The letter gives n graphic description Of the hard
ships of the two Americans in their difficult climb
over the mountains of Negros. A prophetic hint
of the fate Of the two is mention of the spears
OF the hill men visible outside of each hut in the
mountains
