New York. Dec. 1l.--'Not since the
Sully boom of 1904 has the New YORK
Cotton Exchange witnessed more
sensational scene or a more spectac.
ular rise in prices than occurred to.
day with the announcement of tho
government crop report.
With the galleries crowded with
visitors from the South, augmented
by friends and relatives of operators
and other interested spectators the
market scared TO new high record
for the season, with gains OF more
than 81 a bale over yesterday
Both the May and the July options
touched the high mark of 1880,
both gaining approximately ~ points
over yesterday Brokers prevented
most violent advance as they had
distributed heavy selling orders ev.
cry five points up from 15.5jc for
May and July. They sold enormously,
supplying the demand of shorts and
also the in-rush of buying orders
from wall street Chicago and South.

The market continued In an eXcit.

mates that 100000 bales had changed
hands in the last hour. May closed
I,,l,.
1t was exactly o'clock when the
news came from Washington that the
government estimate was only i0.-
0SS,00O bales, the smallest crop since
1903. Immediately there was ire.
mendous rush of buying orders. Or
ders poured in from the world over
and prices jumped from 90 to 30
points in the first transactions. Last
trades made just before the report
was announced were on the basis OF
15.50c for May delivery. The next
sales were made at 1890, an ad
vance of 81 a bale. This was follow
ed by tremendous trading both ways
and by rapid fluctuations. a Dreak
to 1856 followed; then came the rise
to 15.S0c. July cotton fluctuated
along the same line, while March
reach 1900 as its high point and
closed at l5.40c.
The government estimate is about
100000 bales below the predictions
of the most sanguine of the bulls and
the action Of the market naturally
followed. SiXteen-cent cotton, so
much talked about, was not realized,
but the market came near to It.
II remains TO be seen whether the
federal estimators have underestimate

the past ten years. During that time
the crop has been underestimated
each year by from 100000 to 6O0,ooJ

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 80, 1909.
Hon. I. E. Watson, Watson, Ga:
Seattle, and the State of Washing
ton, appeals to you on behalf Of
Alaska. Alaska is political orphan,
without vote in congress or a local
form of government. Your national
legislators control its destinies. Alas
kans can have no laws, no appropria-
lions, no political aid or support, save
by and through the men you elect to
congress. In broad sense Of Justice,
and IN spirit of enlightened progress
sive business, will you kindly consider
a personal request at this time?
Alaska MUST have a system of
wagon roads. The country's produc-
ton of $2O,OOO,0OO virgin gold is an
nually shipped out as it is mined. 1t
is the cash paid for supplies, machin-
cry, clothing, ETC., for every cent of it
reaches the markets of the States.
This money remains in the States,
duuAHS w YOUR wealth..
To lessen the cost of production,
open up vast gold fields, which on ac-
count of lack Of transportation must
remain idle, yet are known to be
rich, Alaska asks your aid. Write to
your congressman and urge him to
support a measure which will provide
an appropriation Of 81 100000 a year
for four or five years to build a trunk
line system of roads, with branches.
No richer investment will ever be
made by our government than build
ing roads in Alaska, for it means in
slant Development. Forty thousand

MORE INSIDE INFORMATION
CONCERNING THE SANTA
RUM AT MIIL,EDGEVIILE
Dudley, Ga, Feb. Is. 1909.

DuQley, "a, Feb. Id, 1909.
Dear Sir: Having seen in the Dub
lin Dispatch that you have been tax
ing considerable interest in the
George Bell case, that gentleman now
being unlawfully held in the Santa
rum In Milledgeville, and having been
sent there last fall for a severe pain
IN the head, | wish to let you know
what | saw while there. was sent on
the 10th day of November, 1908, and
stayed there until the 31st day of
December, 1908.
l saw one Of the attendants Jerk
one Of the inmates from the table
where he was eating, struck the side
of the table with his head and kicked
him in the side. The man never came
back to the table any more.
| saw an attendant catch an inmate
IN the collar and jerk him down fiat
of his back, which was enough to kill
him. Another was showed backwards
down the steps; another was slammed
against the house and died the next
day. Another was jerked out of
chair by the hair and jerked all over
the floor several times. Another man
was jerked down; he crawled up to
where the attendants were and was
Jerked down again, he crawled back
again and they caught him by the
shoulders and threw him across the
floor. He fell near where [ was sit
ting, and saw that he was dying. [
went to bed to keep from seeing them
kill him. [ heard him fall again. He
was dead next morning.
They would not give me medicine
as directed until | reported them to
the doctor.
If [ can be of any service to you
IN the Bell case, let me know. I am
ready to serve you.
Fraternally yours,
G. G. Barlow
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-02-25

crease this number to 100000 within
few years. The development which
will follow will open not only the
great placer fields, but copper, coal,
quartz and oil will be opened up for
production. Wagon roads are the
forerunners Of railways; railways will
follow population and such rich re-
sources as Alaska possesses. And with
road construction and the opening up
of its valleys the farmer will till the
rich soil Of the Northern valleys, for
he will have market and means of
reaching it.
With wagon roads, the Alaska
placer output will soon swell from
twenty million dollars annually to
forty or fifty million. America need
have no fear of a money stringency
with such a flow of gold from the
North. / must be conceded that Alas
ka has the most extensive placer gold
fields in the known world.
Cost of production without roads is
outrageous. 1t is an economic sin.
Miners pay from $50 to $500 a ton
for food and supplies in isolated
camps; horse feed costs as much as
500 a ton. The roads already built
have helped to reduce this and open
up scattered camps.
The miners in these sparsely settled
districts, with no local government.
with no means Of concerted action,
cannot Surmount these difficulties UNI
anded; and so long as their wealth all
comes to the people Of the States,
Alaskans are surely entitled to Fed
eral appropriation to get a trunk wag-
on road built.
You MUST help them in their
Titantic struggle.
Alaska trades with the States alone
and exceeds the trade with the Phil
ippines by a million dollars, although
the islands have a population of sew
eral million. It is but million dol
lars less than the trade with Porto
Rico, which has million population.
These forty thousand miners in the
North distribute their wealth to every
State IN the union; they trade with
gold.
Seattle appeals to the nation on
behalf Of Alaska. Ask your congress
sional delegation to hear the voice of
their countrymen in the North, that
band of sturdy Americans who will
win for you a food Of gold exceeding
that of California, and it was its gold
fields that made the West
