the day.
The people of Claiborne county
deserve much praise for the deter
mined effort to down the boil Vice.
vii. The planters, business men,
and professional men have all uni
ted and are using every known
method to make cotton in spite of
the boil weevil. Such efforts will
certainly be handsomely rewarded.
Now there is one thing that must
be done. The labor in this county
must remain here. We cannot
farm the lands of this county with
out labor. The value of our land,
town property, bank stock, mer-
chandise, and in fact the value of
everything will drop to the bottom
if we permit our, labor to leave the
county. Let us all lay our heads
together and devise means to keep
every laborer in this county.
/ hear planters say this is my
last year with negroes and cotton.
Such expressions give me great
pain. l know what it means. They
will force their labor to leave, quit
growing cotton for one or more
years, their farms will grow up,
and then the scales will fall from
their eyes and they will long for
their labor to again grow the great
est money crop in the world.
urge every planter in this county
to think once, twice, and then think
seriously again before he parts with
his laborers.
The planters who keep their la
borers and force them to grow ev-
erything necessary for home con-
sumption and to cultivate say five
or six acres according to Govern
ment instructions will grow more
prosperous every year. In fact
genuine prosperity will be the rule
in this county when every body
lives at home and grows cotton as
a money crop.
A considerable number of plan
tiers are anxious to sell their plan
tations. l have pleaded with
number to hold on to their planta-
tions. They tell me that they are
in debt and will never be able to
pay out; that the boil weevil is
here to destroy the cotton crop
the money crop. Cotton is not
now a money crop, but it will be
within a year or so. The planters
will all live at home and grow say
two-thirds as much cotton on one
third of the land and can easily
pay debts with the cotton money.
The cotton money will then pay
debts instead of paying for corn,
bacon, lard, mules, hay, etc.
The boil weevil will force US.
to do good farming. Good farming
means high priced land. The plan
ters who hold their land will
hit the nail on the head. The price
of land will probably drop and re-
main down for two or three years,
but then the price will begin to go
up and will continue to go up and
up until the price is four or five
times what it is now. ! urge every
bank and merchant to give every
planter an opportunity to raise the
mortgage on his land. ! urge ev-
cry planter to put forth every effort
to raise the mortgage and go on
their way rejoicing.

"All flesh is grass, and all the
godliness thereof is as the flowers
of the field.
Nature and men, cooperative,
can make Mississippi marvellous
blending of pasture and grains.
The boil weevil is here and it is
advisable for us to at least raise all
the stock necessary for home use
and home consumption.

Los Angeles and vicinity Pursuant to aIrang, mcut they met at Ash Fork and as usual, according to the funny papers. the head of the house had to wait for his spouse. But in this case it was the fault of the railroad sche- dule which was disarranSed by wash outs, instead of the peculiaritics of the eternal feminine. Both have en- joyed a delightful summer and are certain they will have an even more delightful winter.

ALREADY HAS A BETTER JoR-

Contrary to the general expectation, Griggs H. Carr, street superintendent, will not become deputy United States marshal though the office has been laid within his grasp. All the condi- tions of endorsement required by United States Marshal Overlook had been complied with by Mir. Carr and the appointment had been rendered him. But for several days MT. Carr has been regarding. the place with growing coolness First and above all the salary. which is considerably less than that of the office of street super intendent, was never attractive. Then more or less of a scramble for the street s|pcrintendency set it, threaten ing to create bitterness within the party. It was this new situation that assisted MT. Carr to the conclusion that he could serve himself and his party better by remaining in his present position. It is thought that Marshal Overlook will name deputy within the present week.

Irrigation WORK
IS to Be ACTIVE.
MANY LARGE PROJECTS TO BE
RECLAIMED ALONG COLUMBIA
PASCO.

PASCO, Feb. Island owners
along the Columbia river for fifty
miles above Pasco are looking for
ward to extensive development work
this season. Many new projects
have already taken form, and every
where there is great activity in irri-
CATION districts.
All the way from Wenatchee on
the north to Wallula gap on the
south an increasing number of or
chardists and gardeners are busy.
Wenatchee districts are spreading
out, and last week announcement
was made that 800 acres will be wa
tered at Trinidad, some distance be-
low Wenatchee. At Beverly a COM
pany plans to irrigate the san iiest
portion of the Columbia. At Priest
Rapids, where electric power for
pumping is generated, at least one
more great project has come into
existence.
Last week a new pumping plant
was installed south of White Bluffs
which will irrigate 800 acres, and
still farther down Seattle capitalists
have formed the American Power
company, and will water large
tract of land on the Pasco side, with
a small project, is to take its first
bath this year. This project, capital
lied by James A. Moore, of Seattle
will water land almost within tbs
city limits of Pasco.
The largest project on the river,
promoted by the Pasco Water &
Power company, of which Will H.
Parry, of Seattle, is president, will
land.
Practically all the land worth till
ing is under intensive irrigation at
Kennewick, and the land men there
are now selling land in the Richland
district.

PIT BATTLE Of
MILLIONS IS ON
BEARS COMBINE TO END WHEAT
CORNER OF pATrEN.-BULL
LEADER CHALLENGED BY BIG
GEST PLUNGERS.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-The bears of
the Chicago pit. who for several
weeks have been fighting the present
corner in May wheat controlled by
j. A. Patten, today began the forma-
ton of a combination which, it is
declared, will mark the beginning of
one of the most sensational battles
of millionaires the wheat pit has ever
seen.
There is much guessing on the
board as to the outcome. Patten is
long 25,O00,0O0 bushels of May
wheat. The bears, some of the big
gest money plungers on Wall street,
have taken millions in losses and ex-
pect to take more.
Today it was evident that bears
were getting together" They have
been scattered before, but now q

MANY CHANGES
UNDER TAFT
SOCIETY LOOKS FOR A
WHITE HOUSE REVOLUTION
STORERS MAY RETURN AND
YALE MEN WILL BE IN FAVOR,

Washington, D. c., Feb. 23.-To
say that the entire capital is greatly
interested in figuring out just what
sort OF changes will take phase at the
White House next month is putting it
mildly. In fact, the entire diplo-
matte, official and social circles are
thinking of little else, and every
where persons are to be heard dis
cussing just what they think, or as
sumo to know what will be done in
the way of innovations with the COM
ing of Mrs. William Howard Taft as
the first lady in the land
That the changes will be startling
to a degree no one doubts. 1t is said
that the three ponderous chandeliers
of the east room fairly culver these
days in anticipation of what they are
to shine down upon in the future.
Miss Hagner to Go.
1t is very thoroughly. understood
that Mrs. Taft will not require the
services of Miss Belle Hagner, who
has been social secretary to Mrs.
Roosevelt for the past seven years.
Just who is to be placed in this i'm
portant position. is not known, but
there are those that declare that a
brilliant Cincinnati woman has al
ready been chosen for the post.
In expectancy of some who have
been out of the pale for some years,
there are those who have already be-
gun to figure on the return to Wash
ington of the Bellamy Storers.

action is to be taken in an
effort to break Patterns hand and
force him down.
The market opened with Patten
standing practically alone on the bull
side. The bears already are far
far short, but they are hanging on
in the hope that they may blow up
Patterns corner and force him into
heavy losses.
All of the bears fighting are men
of millions, willing to stand heavy
losses to fight battle to the finish.
The operation is purely domestic.
Mr.. Patten has taken the position
that he understands the wheat s1au-
alton thoroughly or he never would
have attempted the present campaign.
Patten has plenty of paper profits,
but any attempt by him to get real
profits at this time by selling would
cause a sensational break in the mar
ket and defeat for the Chicagaoan.
He believes wheat is worth the pres
ent price.

Will Be Home Soon.

Percy Walker has written his
partner, T. M. Widney, that he is
now in Texas and will be home in a
week or ten days. His sister, Mrs.
Furor, on whose account he was call
ed to Memphis, Tennessee, died last
week. The son, Hudson Furor, spent
last summer here and was employed
by the Wenatchee Department store.
Mr.. Walker will probably be accom-
panied home by a niece.
