PLANT MORE CORN
 AND LESS COTTON Harvie Jordan Gives Advice to
 Cotton Planters HOLD FAST TO THE STAPLE Growers Must Not Turn Loose Their Crop Now In Warehouses, But
 Freeze To It Until the
 Price Goes Higher.
HOLD FAST TO THE STAPLE

Atlanta, Ga, April 1S.-(Special) )-In a signed statement issued today President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton association declares that activity in the ranks has been allowed to slumber and ne urges the organization to renew it's activity for better prices for cotton
 Said Mr Jordan:
 The adherents of the policies and pur- poses of the Southern Cotton association have been somewhat indifferent to the cause during the past eighteen months Activity in the ranks of the local county associations have been allowed to slum- Der and the spirit of cooperative effort between farmers, merchants and bankers has not been so pronounced as the two years preceding 1907. This apparent in difference of the farming and business in terests of the south, heretofore marching so conspicuously under the flag of the Southern Cotton association has been due almost entirely to two things, viz: That up to January l, 1908, the cotton trade of the world was never better and the price of spot cotton fairly satisfactory to growers, merchants and bankers Un- der these conditions the people appeared satisfied and the power and influence of the association which had been so con- spicuous in forcing prices for spot cotton from cents to Il and 12 cents, was all lowed to remain largely in a formative but not very active state.
 Conditions are now rapidly changing for the worse and unless the strong active forces of the south are again re- habilitated under the flag of the associa- tion, the south may face next Decem- Der somewhat the same character of troubles which menaced us in the winter of 1904. The cotton trade in this country is already seriously affected and cables from my correspondents in Europe, just received, indicate that if spot cotton con tinues to go down in price the cotton trade of Europe will be disorganized. The speculative interests operating on the New York cotton exchange are daily ham, mering down the price of spot cotton to lower levels If spot holders give way and become panc-stricken, the small rem of the people will go at low levels and cause the losses of millions of dollars to the growers and the spinners alike, the speculative interests alone being the ben eficaries. Spot cotton must be held off the market if the present tendency to continued depression Is to be checked. To prevent disaster next fall, plant more corn and less cotton this spring and let the people in every county go to work actively to complete and build up their organizations so as to have the united strength of the south as a bulwark against any financial depression which may continue from outside sources to menace the best interests of the cotton growers"

Butlin won the three straight sets, 9-7, 11-9 and 6-2. substituted, he said, an agitation against slavery. That agitation" he de- clared Ifs the result of a propaganda from Great Britain" That country. he contended coveted the Congo Free State. and what he objected to was "our Secre- tary of State being led by this clamor, being stirred up by about 25 English mis- sionaries out of 600 down there and in- duced by Great Britain to jump into the complication and attack King Leopold and thereby try to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for England"
 MT. Gaines of Tennessee asserted that England should stop standing behind the followeds of Cecil Rhodes and Con gress ought to make this country stop standing behind them.'
 On point of order by Mr. Madden of Illinois the appropriation of s4S00 for the payment of the quota of the United States for the support of the international lISlllutc Ol d6iiCultulc dl ftOIles IIdly, was stricken out.

 The speaker left the chair with a smile on his face and walked toward MT. Will Hams. MT. Williams, however was so incensed that he refused to converse with the speaker

Promises Brighter

Washington-The prospect of good year in the Alaska trade has been frightened by the presence of better labor conditions in the Panama dis trict. Commerce between the states and Alaska in the last calendar year was somewhat smaller than in the year 1906, this being the first year in the last decade that there has been a decrease as compared with any prior year.
 The month of February witnessed an improvement in commerce with Alas ka. both in north-bound and south bound commerce.
 The February shipments from Alas lla to the states, not including gold and silver, amounted to SlSS, l36, as compared with $lGS,3O in the cores bonding month of last year. The north-bound shipments from Puget sound in February were valued at S639. .333. Walter F.. Clark in P.-I.

In From Falls Creek

C. f. BOggS and ". L Redman re- turned yesterday from their Falls creek placer claims. They came in to make further preparations for working their claims during the season. Snow lies along the creek to a depth of from six to eight feet. They shoveled out the snow in one or two places, Sluiced a little dirt and took out four ounces of gold dust and some nuggets, making about SIP a day each while they were at work. The men expect to have some high water to contend with when the snow melts away, but they think they can work the ground in places during the entire season. From the gold produced and reports made it is evident that Boggs and Redman have struck a good thing for the summer.

Outlook for Knik

Special to The Daily Gateway.
 Inquiries are frequently made by those desiring to reach the interior and that section of the territory lying to the northwest of the Yukon for the most feasible route. That route which in the future will be the most followed is the one marked out this winter by the small force of men in the employ of the United States government. These men constitute what Is called the Road and Trail Commission for Alaska. The route begins at Seward on Resurrection bay and ends at Nome. Knik Arm of Cooks Inlet is on the route and one of the objective points. Thus the town of Knik is destined to become one of the impor- tant money making towns in the in- terior of Alaska. The town has been quiet during the past winter. A few social gatherings have broken the monotony, but with the coming of spring those pastimes have ceased, and we are looking forward to more active times.

Letter From
The yOders

Most OF our readers will recall Dr.
and Mrs. P. A. Yoder, OF this city un-
I'll q year ago, DR.. Yoder being Direc-
tor Of the Experiment station. Since
the departure OF these people, follow
ing the Dr.'s peculiarly vicious and
extremely discourteous dismissal from
the A. c., they have been touring the
world. Just now Dr. and Mrs. Yoder
are In Australia and from there comes
a very interesting letter telling OF the
sights seen in their travels. Though
the reader does not know either OF
these excellent people, the'letter will
be found well worth the while, Mrs.
Yoder's narrative being well put TO-
gether. This letter Is personal one
to Mrs. VIM. Brangham, and follow
ing personalities reads as follows:
But / suppose you would like me to
tell you a little Of our experiences
while on this trip, but where shall l
begin and where end? To begin, Mr.
Yoder and myself have learned the
fine art OF getting pleasure out Of TEN.
porary hardshlps, for there are many
hardshlps connected with travel-long
railway rides, stage rides, poor beds,
etc.--but as I said; these we have
learned to consider par. OF the fun.
The thing that has struck me most
on this trip has been the generous
hospitality Of the people, especially In
Japan and China, where we could not
speak the language. They really
seemed to like us; at almost every
Japanese inn that we left we we're
presented with little gifts such as tea
cups. towels, toothpick holders, etc.
From japan we went up through
Korea and Manchuria to Picking, a
continuous ride Of eight days on lit
tie narrow-guage road. We were re-
peatedly warned not to attempt that
route as 1t was not considered safe for
Europeans. AT one Chinese town we
were compelled 10 stay all night and
sought shelter at a Chinese hotel, be-
ing guided there by a train official.
In the morning we discovered that a
soldier in uniform, well armed, had
guarded us all night while we peace
fully slept unmindful OF any danger
the hotel man had saved the reputa'
tion OF his house. We paid him well
and went on our way rejoicing.
