An effort OF the News" this morn
ing to interview Fisher Harris of the
Commercial club on tho Immediate
plans for erecting the new club build
ing resulted in a failure to locate him
in Salt Lake, although he was finally
reached on the long distance wire at
silver Lake. This is the dialogue that
resulted during the Interview.
"Nir Harris, we understand the new
building is to be i've stories high, and
to be commenced at once, Is that
right?
mo. it's no story at all. II weighed
six pounds and l landed It myself In Is
minutes without n landing net either.
How is the excavation getting
along"
why my youngster caught it with
seven strand line and grey hackle
and II weighed over eight pounds--sol-
emn fact"
And what about the rooms that were
on the sixth floor?"
They're IN the creek. The bigger
ones take to the lake, but it's harder
TO hook them"

Pending the presentation of their
side OF the controversy to the city
council by merchants along Market

cided not to enforce the sidewalk OBJ

Whether any defense will be offered

Cooperate With the Governor.

According to the Houston Post the
Farmers Union Of Texas, through its
leaders, has indicated that it will CO.
operate with the governor to appre-
bend and convict night riders. The
Post expresses the opinion that the
Farmers Union means what it says.
and that the governor, the Texas rang
ers and the organization will camp
upon the trail of the outlaw until
he finds the state too hot to hold him.
Luster will be added to the name Of
the Lone Star state If the prediction
IL fulfilled. AS an advertisement OF
the quality Of Texas citizenship its
fulflllment would be Of incalculable
value to a commonwealth which still
has need of a greater population than
can be secured without emigration
from other states. Say the Post:
"every farmer In Texas has the right
to take his cotton to the gins. Every
gin owner has a right to operate his
plant. Every producer has a right
to sell his cotton when he pleases, re-
CARELESS of price or other circum'
stances. And the governor not only
gives notice that these rights are go.
ing to be protected. but he makes it
plain that he will not even permit
men to threaten those who are attend.
ing to their business in legitimate
way"

More Cotton Needed.

The worlds production Of cotton, for
mill consumption, during the year end
ed Aug. 81, 1908, exceeded by 2,340,O00
bales the previous year, according to
the Census Bureaus report on the sup
ply and distribution of cotton. The
report shows that fluctuations in the
words supply of cotton is measured
practically by the variations in the
annual product in the United States.
If the consumption Of cotton in 1909
equals that of 1908. the United States,
It is declared. must contribute about
12.500,000 bales to prevent further de-
crease in stocks. The number of cot
ton spindles In this country is 1884
487, the distribution among the states
giving Massachusetts 81 per cent,
South Carolina IL per cent and North
Carolina II per cent. Rhode Island
ranks fourth In the list. The number
Of spindles has increased % per cent
in the last eight years and the con-
sumption of cotton "a per cent.
The annual export of manufacture
ers of cotton are declared to be sub
ject to wide Quotations. those for
1908 amounting to $25,177,75S, or less
than half the value Of exports for
1906, which aggregated in value more
than $5o,000.O00. This reduction is
due to the falling off of the exports
to China An interesting fact to the
producers Is that OF the total cotton
amounting to 4,459.3oO bales. 81 per
cent was consumed In the United

president:
1--WE, your Committee on cotton
bags, recognizing the importance to
the southern merchants of fair and
equitable price for cotton to our farm
ers. which affects all lines Of trade
and professions Of our people
and desiring that as much as possible
of the raw cotton grown in the South
be manufactured in our country to
maintain the price, and realizing that
a good cotton sack can be reused for
many purposes, recommend that the
Southern Wholesale Grocers give pre-
ference to goods packed in cotton
sacks and that we ask the manu-.
facturers, packers and dealers using
jute and burlap and other covering to
use cotton whenever possible.
I'VE recommend that copy be sent
to each manufacturer listed with US
and that the various -four, grits and
rice mills, sugar and salt manufact-
urers be sent copy and that differ
emit Fertilizer Factories be also in
formed. We recommend that the
National Wholesale Grocers Associa-
ton be asked to cooperate with US
to get the Wholesale Grocers in their
territory to further the use Of cotton
bags and covering.
I'VE recommend that the news
papers be requested to give this
resolution as much publicity as posi-
BILE"
Each and every one is urged to send
a copy to every manufacturer inter-
ested whose goods you are purchasing.
Each Is also asked to give this resolu-
ton as much publicity as possible
through every local paper published In

merchant and citizen in the cotton
producing States should be intensely
interested in doing everything within
power to further the object of the
above resolution.
Very respectfully.

FORMER PASTORS FIX
NO SURPRISE TO CHURCH
Officials Say Rev. E. Harvey
Resigned and Members Say
Action Was Accepted

Members of the English Lutheran
church on Geary street. di dnot express
great surprise yesterday when they
learned that Rev. e. Harvey Hadlock,
who formerly occupied their pulpit. was
in trouble. Advices from Grass Valley
had told of the unexpected arrival of
the pastors wife from the east and of
their stormy meeting and immediate
separation.
One of the officials of the church,
Treasurer c. NJ. Volkman. in discussing
the matter, said: MIR. Hadlock is not
member of our church and has not
ben connected with us in any way since
last April, when he resigned, and this
resignation was brought about in a
nianer that we do not care to discuss.
His resignation would have been ac-
ceptable to many of us long before he
rendered it.
He is not a Lutheran. and as far as
/ know he never has been. We paid
him his salary and we have nothing
more to do with him.. ] do not know
of his having any ward. We all thought
it was peculiar that he never brought
his wife to the city. Just what caused
him to hand in his resignation I Will
not say, as that is strictly church busi-
ness"
