OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ON THE COTTON CROP
considered FAIR one

Government cotton men in Missis-
sippi generally regard the government
estimate of cotton ginned to Jan. 16
amounting to 1,551.270 bales for this
state as very conservative. ........
The fact that ginners are giving the
agricultural bureau more, active sup
port and assistance in gathering statis-
tics alone warrants the assertion that
the report is approximately correct.
At the market prices that have pre-
vailed during the season, and taking
into consideration that PARTON of
Mississippi's crop is of the long staple
variety, the total value of the seasons
crop is approximately $7O,OO0,O00. The
present population of the state, 1t is
estimated, is about 100000, and this
means about two-thirds of a bale OF
cotton raised for every man, woman
and child In the state. In other words
Mississippi's per capita of cotton pro
duction is somethink like $50 per year

The White Pine News publishes an
editorial claiming that Nevadas direct

ing it impossible for poor men to run
for office, alleging that there will be two
expensive campaigns instead Of one to
go through. It is. as follows; ''The
direct primary bill signed by the COVER
nor compels the candidate for office to
go through two strenuous campaigns,
and as politics is done in Nevada, ex-
pensive ones. twill be a boon for the
saloon keepers. Also it, will put the
poor man out of consideration as a can.
didate for Office, He had small show
under the old law. Under the new he
has none at all, for he must spend as
much money getting u majority of the

party as he will have to spend later to
secure a majority of ali votes.''

Musical Sheen. Shsar;.r,

Last night after the band had stopped
playing at the skating rink, Joe Nc
Namara stepped into the Commercial
hotel and put his horn and music rack
on the floor by the cigar stand. After
standing there few. minutes, he went
into the billiard room and STAYED a
short time. When he came out to get
his horn and music rack, they were gone.
.Suspician at once fell upon two Mexi-
cans who were in the room when, Joe
went into the billiard room and who
were gone when he came out. Search
was begun for, them at once and thew
were shortly afterwards seen going past
the hotel. A watch was put on them
while Joe hunted up Deputy Constable
Cotant. He was soon, found and put on
the track of the Mexicans. He trailed
them and finally saw them coming
through an alley. He ordered them. to
halt, but the one who had the stolen
property kept on going until halted by
Cotant's revolver. The stolen PROPERTY
was restored. to its owner and the Mexi-
cans were locked up. 3
This forenoon a complaint was made
against them for petty larceny. They
gave their names as E. Carizn anG Joe
Maisas and their business as sheep
shearers. They propably wanted the
horn: to entertain the sheep with while
they took off their woody coats.

Great Engineering Feat

A Chicago dispatch of the first gives
the following account of an engineer
ing feat just complicated by the engin-
GERS of the Canadian Pacific railroad:
A civil engineer who proposes to
shorten a railway line by doubling it's
mileage would be regarded as a freak
by the average man; yet today engineers
on the Canadian Pacific have accomp-
lished that very thing.
In other words, by doubling it's mile
age on a certain portion of its line in
the Canadian Rockies, and constructing
one f-the most remarkable systems of
tunnels in the world, the Canadian
Pacific engineers, for all practical
purposes, have more than cut in half
the running time over that section of
the road.
The section of the line is that Dor
ton between Hector and Weld, in the
vicinity of Kicking Horse River. Over
the old line, the distance is Al miles
Over the new line the distance is 8.2
miles-exactly double. The saving is
in the big reduction of grade, largely
accomplished by the boring of three
long tunnels.
In its new course the new line makes
Il double turn on itself. not unlike an
elongated figure s. AT each end of the
turn are the spiral tunnels, in them
selves wonderful feat of engineering.
The road crosses to the opposite side of
the valley, enters a mountain by q
spiral tunnel. energies recrosses the
valley, and enters and comes out of
another mountain by the other spiral
tunnel One of these tunnels is 5000
feet III length and the other one is
1880 feet long, each having radius of
573 feet. The third tunnel is ITO feet
long, at the western end of the new
section of the line,
The average gradient over the old
line is as per cent. The average gra-
dent over the new line is 2.2 per cent,
or little less than half. BY cutting
the grade in half, not only is the run
ming time reduced by hours, but the
cost of operation is cut down in the
same ratio. For instance, over the old
line four engines were required to haul
dead weight of TO tons. Over the
new line, two engines will be able to
haul dead weight of $50 tons.
