We have just returned from a trip
through a country of great promise
between Ely district and Goldfield;
held by a people of u~nbounded hos1
pitality and the enterprise of real
pioneers. They have battled against
great odds in lack of transportation
facilities, in the light of which their
achievements to date are truly Won
derful. They number stockmen, agri-
culturists and horticulturists of skill
and admirable pluck, and. last but
not least, prospectors and miners
who have blazed the way for the TAX
ing out of i~ncalculable new wealth in
gold, silver, lead and copper. Within
a few years the efforts of these peo-
pie will be turning thousands of cars
annually of the products of mine,
farm and range upon the tracks of
the new E~ly-Goldfield railroad for
transportation to market. &c total
value of these products will give
cause for general establishment and
will focus the eyes of the world on a
section of Nevada which will in its
scope and great diversity of wealth
in afford high attraction
for the colonist, the investor, the
capitalist and ,.~ worker. Vi this
country the News hopes to have much
to say in the future.

The respite gained from crowds

The value of real estate investment
may readily be grasped through a
glance at the tremendous things
that have been done in Southern Cal
ifornia in the last few years. Where
five years ago there were great
stretches along the coast line for
fifty miles south from Los Angeles,
there is today no open property,
while millions of dollars nave been
put in public improvements, resi-
dences and building sites which
could then have been had for the
asking. Thousands of fortunes have
been made in this fifty-mile stretch of
beach country, while many more
thousands have been made in the
cities of the interior. Ten years ago
the greater part of Southern Califor-
MIA represented far less in prospects
for future large value than does the
Ely district today-an attractive real
estate investment because OF its
wonderful backing in ore resources
and it's certainty of a long life of
high industrial and commercial pros
perity.

There is no manner of doubt about
the future of this camp as the worlds
greatest copper producer. The ore
is here and it is but a matter of
getting it out and milling it. This,
a vast amount of money has been in

upon the amount that may be
readily acquired as need develops.

How to Improve Our Orchard Indus
f1~v

From our general observation in the
state during the past year, it would
seem that South Carolina has been,
as it were, a dumping ground for all
kinds Of inferior and worthless nurs-
cry stock. By this we do not mean to
say that South Carolina receives no
first class nursery stock, for We year
ly handle some Of the best stock in
the whole country. The general ten
dency on the part Of some nurseries,
without the state, towards shipping
inferior stock into the state has
caused considerable complaint to
reach this office. The principal trou-
bic with such stock seems to be the
presence Of serious insect pests and
plast diseases. 1t is very difficult
matter for the casual observer to de-

New Orleans, La, Sept. 7.-Supple-
menting his report on the cotton crop
for 1908 'O9, as issued on August 81,
Secretary Hester of the New Orleans
cotton exchange today made a deta1l-
ed report on the crops Of the different
States as follows:

He puts bhe spindles in the South
at 1926, ,787, including old, idle and
not complete, against 10,661,3o8 last
year, an increase Of 594,47e.
Referring to the consumption by
American mills, Mr.. Hester says that
North and South they have had sea-
son of unparalleled activity. In no past
year, he states have they consumed so
much cotton, and phenomenal as the
extent of the business has been, 1t has
not reached the limit Of their capacl-
ties. The money value Of the past
commercial crop, he states, is IN round
figures s6S3,794,0oO, showing that
while the number Of bales marketed
was 2,243,0Oo bales more than last
wear, the increase in money received
was but sll, 100000, equivalent to
S5.11 per bale for the excess, and yet
Mr. Hester contends that considering
all circumstances if ever a crop was
sold at a good round price it was the
one under revleW-

Facts Speak FOR Themselves.


In conclusion Mr. Ha3:or says the
facts concerning this rel lark'5:e ;ear
in cotton consumption peak for
themselves, but it is safe to~say that
had they been estimates instead Of
plain unvarnished truths, even ex-
tremists would have been justified in
chasing them as exaggerations.
In the South, he says, "We have
brushed 100000 bales closely dur
ing the past year and this close on the
heel Of the panic, with 2l5 out Of
total Of 7S6 active mills from one to
TWO months late in getting under head

fore the coming years close and with
these on the basis Of the l904-O3, con-

like 2,S000OO to 100000 bales.

FrOmScene of
maSSacreS

Rev. Sam Gilman has received
from former associates in Beirut,
considerable matter descriptive of
the massacres in Asiatic Turkey. 1t
sets forth wildly, from eye witnesses
and Immediate sufferers, the horrors
of that reign Of trror. The follow
ing story gives an idea of the gem
eral tend of many.
The Story Of sis and Sal Getchid.
When on the 18th of April, we in
Sis heard OF the terrible massacre
that had begun in Adana on the
previous day, We we're file, with
CONSERVATION and fear. We saw at
once that our town would soon
be in great danger. AT noon every
one left his place of business and
stayed in his house. 1t was agreed
that our only hopes would be in
gathering together at the most de-
feasible point; and this We proceed
ed to do. We heard of murders and
pillaging in the villages near US, and
this increased our fear. The town
was at once besieged; nobody could
go outside. But as the Turks,
Koords, and Circassians were busy
with the villages, no attack was
made upon Sis on Thursday night or
Friday. : More than twenty villages
were pillaged, every Christian in
them, men, woman and children,
were slain, and the houses burned.
Many farmes also YER destroyed; so
that all the air was filled with smoke
On the 18th, 10th, ana goth, five or
six determined attacks were made
upon us; but after hours of hard
fighting we beat them off. Now this
is the tenth day of siege; our case
seems desperate; all communication
with the outside world is cut of I
know not how l shall send this let
ter to you. Our only hope is in the
Saviour, our only comfort Is in the
thought of His sympathy With us,
for He in Gethsemane and on the
cross endured like sufferings. l
must tell you now of the murder of

our beloved ministers of the gospel:
they were the first to be sacrificed.
On the morning of the 18th, seven
ministers from Shar, Hadjfn, Kara
keoy, fere Balkan, Feke. Sis, and
kars; two delegates, four ladies', and
an ordinary traveller. started from
Sis to go to Adana for the annual
meeting. These fourteen were as
lights in all II churches. Shortly
after they left we realized that the
road TO Adana would be full of lam
ger, and sent a man to bring them
back. But alas. he did not oyertake
them before they reached the village
OF Sal Gatchid, six hours south of
our town. Our dear friends saw at
once the danger of the situation. and
went to the Mudir of the village: he
promised to protect them, as did
another prominent Turk, named
Hadji Bey. On the next day. Friday
the 18th, at three in. the afternoon,
this cruel Hadji Bey, with a throng
of wild beasts, began his attack upon
them. First, the mob stripped them
of their money, watches, and cloth
ing; then they took them one by one

cruel manner, togther with the
seventy-eight Armenian inhabitants
of the villages; the women and chill
dren shared the fate of the men.
During the tragedy, the wife of the
Mudir sat in a chair on the %verandah
laughing and clapping her hands at
the sight. Even this was not enough;
they piled the dead and the wounded
togther into carts, took them away
outside of the village. and threw
them over a high and steep bank
into a rayine; all the wounded but
two died. One of the two was the
wife of Asdoor Effendi Topolyan,
the preacher at Feke. He was kill
ed. but she still lives, though wound
ed in many places. She saved her
life by pretending TO be dead; and
though they tore the earrings
from her ears, and stabbed her
again and again, she with wonderful
courage lay perfectly still. When
at last the mol went away, she and
a man from Hadjin crawled out from
under the heap of dead bodies, and
worked their way through fields far
from the road and reached us the
next day, to tell of the tragedy.
Since yesterday, more than four
of them wounded and some of them
already dead, have been brought in
to US.

ment that his next text would be the
words of the chairman of the finance
committee, 81 shall vote for the cor
%poration tax as a meaure to defeat
the income tax'-Mr Borah de-
clared his opposition to the corpora
tion a which he regarded as an
other means of taxing the consumers
OF the country
81 realize" he said that the chance
for enaeting an income tax has prac-
tically been removed as far as this
session is concerned, but | am suffi-
GENTLY devoted to the faith to be-
lieve that it is only removed for a
time"
He had favored the income tax, he
said, because it would have made pos
sible a distribution of the burdens
of the government between the con-
sumers and wealth. Ii, he said. it
was proposed to lay an additional tax
upon consumers in the form of a cor
poration tax, he would prefer fol-
lowing the ours suggested at the
beginning of the session by the chair
man of the finance committee in favor
of retrenchment in the expenditures
of the government to avoid the
necessity of such an additional
burden upon the people.
PROFESSIONALLY, Mr.. Borah said,
the great corporation of the country
have transferred their taxes to the
consumer.
THE men who do not transfer their
taxes he continued, "are the hold
ers of million of bonds who are
exempted from the operation of the
law it is here proposed to pass
Today, he said, the great corpora
lions knowing that they can trans
fer this proposed tax, are advising
that the tax be put upon them, pre-
ferring it to the income AK.
Favoring a re-submission of the
income tax to the supreme court,
Mr.. Borah said he did not attack the
integrity of that court.
Yet" he said, when that court
differs, and by a bare majority of
one, oyerturns the practice of a
century, who will tell me hat under
such circumstances it is an assault
upon the dignity of the court to ask
them again to consider that Ques-
ton?
