November 21.-Comments ON the

one of the first United States senators
were favorable and in addition to a
biographical sketch of the new sena-

of the legislative assembly
The first message of John Miller
received favorable mention. The
bond ed debt of the state was $3.50 1907;
the income of the state for the COM
ing year was estimated at $271 ,S9S-
quite a contrast with the present in
come. The taxable value of the state
was only $66,S57 ,436. The, govern
ment at that early date recommend

the subject of paragraph in the ex-

even in state with plenty Of rain

who passed the place at 1890. AS
the openings were closed with white
cloth, had there been any fire, it
could have been readily noticed. At
1:25 Mrs. Robinson first dis
covered the fire by the glare
of the light on the windows of her
room. Mr.. Shenkenberg was hastily
called, but the flames were beyond
all possible chance of control, and all
he could do was to alarm the neigh
bors.
The estimated loss on the building
and material is $4,000 with no insur-
ance whatever. Mr.. Robinson had
arranged to insure the property and
within couple of days would have
had it insured~for $4,000.
Only few days ago Mr.. Robinson
who is local contractor here, suffer
ed a loss of $500 by the breaking of
four large plate glass windows in the
new Jennings building, and now with
this frightful loss, it is severe blow
to him and his family, who have the
sincere sympathy Of the community.
A few months ago some candidate
for the penitentiary destroyed Mr..
Robinson's large 3-year-old- shade
trees by cutting them off near the
ground. He feels so much discour-
aged that he is unable to say what he
will try to do after closing up his
business affairs. /

THE CROPS OF 1909.

The final report by the Department
of Agriculture makes the crops OF
1909, aside from cotton, larger than
had been expected. Corn will aggre
gate 2,767.000 900 bushels, which has
never been exceeded except in 1906.
Wheat, oats, potatoes and buckwheat
are larger crops than those of 1908,
and some of them are the largest
ever gathered. Hay, barley and flax
seed are almost up to last years level,
and are above the average of recent
times. Cotton will reach about TO-
100000 bales, according to some pri-
vate estimates, which will be under
the average of the past decade.
This is fairly good exhibit for the
general line. The reduction in the
cotton yield is to be regretted. With
the growing popularity Of cotton fab
RIGS, there is special need for large
supplies of the raw material instead
of smaller. The falling off in the
crop this year has given an oppor-
tunity to send prices UP to high fig
-ure, and this has created a revolt
among some of the mills, which has

@eral industrial situation. While the

running to their full capacity, the cot

put on account of high prices.
1t is safe to assume that the esti-
mate of over $4,000 900 900 for the
value of the farm products of the
country for 1909, which was recently
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture, will be able to stand. The ag-
gregate for 1908 was Sits, 900 900,
but the total yield this year will be
larger, and the higher prices will
send the income of the farmers up to
a bigger figure than ever before.
Cheap food is a great boon to the
country, and on this account large
crops are always welcomed. But
there Is no cause for serious COM
plant this year. The consumer pays
more for his food than he did year
ago, which is to be regretted, but as
hundreds of thousands are employed
now who were idle then, the country,
on the whole, is in far better condi-
tion than it was at that time.

ened, and, being urged onward by the
cries Of those in the rear, went almost
crazy in their attempts to reach the
exit in the darkness. A man in the
audience jumped from a window. Two
policemen were in attendance, but they
could do nothing to quiet the fear
stricken children. Although several
were trampled on in the rush, none was
hurt seriously, and all were able to
remain until the finish of the entertain
ment.
Much credit for handling and quiet
ing the children is due. to the masterfuI
way in which Professor Taggart took
charge and managed finally to establish
peace and quiet once again, but to the
little girls who played and sang so
bravely during the panic, belong the
laurels as heroines.
Some articles, purses, handkerchiefs
and other articles, were either lost or
stolen during the rush. These, how
ever, will probably be located.

the main of children and in the terrible
rush for the doors, many were thrown
to the floor and trampled on. Chairs
were overturned by. the panic stricken
little ones, who felt that their lives
depended in getting outside the build
ing.
During the confusion, the noise, the
shrieks and cries Of the ones who had
fallen and were unable to rise, there
were two little girls who did not join
in the mad stampede for the door. One
of these, Genevieve Taggart, daughter
of J. n. Taggart, the school principal,
jumped to the platform beside her
father, who had charge of the exercises.
Shouting in her ear to "Play some
thing on the piano, Professor Taggart
called little Adeline Sheldon, who also
jumped to the platform. Adeline took
her place beside Genevieve, the latter
playing on the piano and the former
singing one of the school songs at the
top of her voice. For many minutes
while Professor Taggart and few
others were endeavoring to get the peo-
pie back to their seats-little Adeline
and Genevieve sang and played soothing
music
After hard work, Professor Taggart
succeeded in quieting the excited chill
dren, and finally one by one, they took
up the refrain of the song begun by
Adeline Sheldon. An explanation was
then made to the audience to the effect
that there was no danger, and the pro-
gram was continued to a successful
finish.

Appropriation Balances.

Acting Treasurer Hemenway stated
yesterday that possibly one half of the
total amount of the expected surplus
would be derived from the balances
left in the department appropriations
for the last period. The fact that un-
paid bills are outstanding leaves the
question of the exact amount of the
surplus on rather tentative basis,
but it is believed that the estimate of
$250,000 surplus is justified.
Increased receipts from land taxes
has also been one of the causes for the
conditions of plenty that will prevail
in the Territorial Treasury with the
closing of the BIENNIAL period. The
statement by Governor Frear that the
finances of the Territory are in state
that will assure peace of mind to those
connected with the executive depart
ment of the Government has been made
with full knowledge of existing con
ditions

LARGE SURPLUS
IS EXPECTED
Territory Will Start New Period
With Balance of About
S250,000.

Approximately quarter of a million
dollars will be left in the Territorial
Treasury as surplus at the close of
the present biennial period on June
Goth. There is a considerable differ
enee between this figure and the esti-
mated deficit of 500, 900 that was sub
mitted to the last Legislature.
The approximate surplus of $250,0o0
has been largely increased through the
receipt of the $50, 1000 judgment against
Cotton Brothers & Company, and the
$23, 1000 received from the Federal Gov
eminent as reimbursement for the
money expended by the Territory for
the construction of lighthouses.
The unexpended balance on depart
mental appropriations will also reach
considerable figure. A policy of strict
economy has been practiced in the
operating expenses of the Government
departments, all of which has contri-
buted to the large surplus that is ex-
pected by the Territory.
