stated that he had made no denial of it
or been interviewed in regard to 1t.
The article purported to tell of the
plans of the street railways company
where Rudolph Spreckels was said to
be the moving spirit and Mr.. Phelan at
least connected in an advisory capa-
city. 1t stated that for three months
prior to that time engineers had been
at work on the city streets on the pro-
ject.

work?' asked Mr. Rogers.
mot to my knowledge. They may
have been engaged but did not know
it. did not come into the plans until
lust prior to the Incorporation, some
time in March, 1905.
Just before the noon recess Mr.. Rog-
ers read into the record letter writ
ten by the late Claus Spreckels to a
local paper on March %, 1906, in which
the sugar magnate declared that he
was bitterly opposed to an overhead
trolley on Market street and stated
that he would become one of the in
corporators in a competing system for
the city using underground conduits,
if the United Railroads persisted.
''Mr. Phelan," said Mr.. Rogers, "after
the fire what became of the Municipal
Street Railways company? Did 1t
spend $11,0000 900 in the reconstruction
or construction of transportation
system or did it quit?"

"If the people of San Francisco had
waited for you they would have been

probably not. We could not build
the road out of our own pockets, but
we could still engage capital"
Mr.. Rogers went into the construc-
tion of the railroad to compete with
the Southern Pacific company in the
San Joaquin valley by Mr.. Spreckels.
THE witness said that he was an Off
Ger and stockholder of that road which
afterward was sold to the santa Fe
comnany. Explaining this transaction,
Mr. Phelan said:
"The directors believed C. P. Hunt
ington was buying this stock UP ON

Municipal Street railway"

The interrogation then went to the
Valley Railroad matter brought out in
cross examination. Mr.. Heney asked
if it were not a fact that the farmers
were fighting for a competing line
The defense objected and sharp en-
counter between Mr.. Heney and A. A.
Moore and Earl Rogers of the defense
followed, the prosecuting attorney de-
claring that they had dragged a dead
mans name into court and insinuated
that his connection with the enterprise
was not in good faith.
Mr.. Moore took exception to these
remarks and asked the court to assign
them as misconduct, while Mr.. Rogers
said that in asking the questions re-
ferred to he had not desired to impute
wrongful motives to Claus Spreckels.
Mr.. Phelan was excused at the close
of the session, subject to recall.

sufficient to secure an agent to take charge of the demonstration farms of that county.
 Already he reports nine coun- ties have accepted th.s proposi- tion, and he believes that by the next crop planting season as many as 40 counties will be SUD- piled under this arrangement, making the system Of county supervision practically gene ral over the State.

WILL PAY COUNTY
 TO COOPERATE
$500 for Each County That Wants to Maintain a Demonstration Farm
 Agent in Arkansas.

A new proposition being made to the counties of the State by the United States agricultural department, through J. A. Evans, State agent in charge of the farm demonstration work, promises to me with unusual approval and to be a great factor in the agricultural development of Arkansas.
 For about four years the farm demonstration work has been successfully carried on in this State, so successfully in fact that the agricultural department has been unable to place as many men in the field as could be used to advantage as county special agents, owing to limited funds.
 To meet the clamor for county agents or farm demonstration supervision, MT. Evans proposes to put it up to the county to as- sist, and if the farmers are really in earnest they will find the agricultural department ready to cooperate by furnishing $500 toward defraying the cost of maintaining a county special demonstrator in farm work.
 In other words the department will give $500 to any county that l will supplement this with a sum

STATE COTTON
 AT GOOD PRICE:
Sales Committee of Peniten- tiary Board Secure + Cents for Last Batch of
 Staple from Farm

After spirited bidding among quartet of representatives of leading cotton firms of this and other cities, yesterday. 215 bales of cotton from the State farm, comprising the fifth batch placed on the market by the sales com mittee of the penitentiary was knocked off to Ad Hamberg, re- presenting the Lesser Goldman Cotton Company, at F cents per pound.
 The price is gratifying to the penitentiary board, in view of the fact that the market has been of" for several days, and it was feared that the price to be received would be far below that obtained in former sales.
 N. H. Williamson started the bid at l6 IA cents, and was rais- ed immediately by Minge & Co.'S representative to 16 3-8c. This bid was boosted to 16 1-2 by Hamberg then went to 16 3-4, where the bid stuck for some time.
 Auditor lobe and Superinten- dent Pitcock, representing the penitentiary board, then pro- posed to knock the cotton off at IT cents per pound. This was regarded as too high, at first, by several of the cotton men, but MT. Hamberg settled the matter by remarkipg that he would take the cotton at that figure for Les ser.
