Schefket Pasha said that the premier

not accept it while still leader Of the

Conditions in the Valley

E4NGlGIl
Pound has Just returned from Imperial
valley after an absence of three day
during which period he covered the
entire territory by team Mr.. Teas
dale said:
Il believe that the cotton industry
is a certainty in Imperial valley and
that the results obtained from the
planting of cotton in that valley Will
| be most remuneratiVe. There will be at
I least from 10000 to q, 900 acres of cotton
planted there the coming spring. The
great need now is of gins, congresses,
oil mills and cotton seed meal mills
TO take care of the crops which is sure
to be produced. There has been to the
present time but a limited acreage
planted to the long fibre Egyptian cot
ton that it has produced abundantly.
The coming season will see the plant
ing of many acres Of this valuable
production.
THE United States imports about
S17. .0O00 600 worth Of long fiber Egyptian
cotton each year and it is confidently
expected that within u few seasons d
greater part of this supply will be
produced within our own country and
in Imperial valley. Imperial valley is
the only district on the Pacific coast
where cotton can be produced, and es-
pecially the Egyptian cotton.
"The cotton grown this year is all OF
good fiber. 1t has sold at prices above
the average crop in the southern grow
ing states, and every one seems most
hopeful as to the future of this new
industry in that rich valley. The busi-
ness is established on firm CONNER
cial basis. Cotton is a staple and the
farmer will make money in its pro-
duction Any one taking into consid-
Grafton that Texas and the other south
ern states, where cotton has been
grown in such large quantities for gen
erations and producing from one-third
TO one-half a bale TO the acre, and oc-
casionally one bale to the acre for three
pickings, and under most favorable
conditions. can readily see what fu-
ture the cotton growing industry has

Interest in cotton growing in the I'M

cure as much as two and one-quarteI

in the valley have been planted to cot

about 200. 600 acres in the valley adapted

Change In Business.

A business change of some mag.
nitude took place this week when the
Sans marble works were disposed Of
by W. ]. Sans to Floyd Higons, Of
Emporia, who at once took charge of
the business.
The Sans institution has been in
existence 10 this city for about seven
years, during which, under the able
management Of Mr.. Sans, it has built
up a trade that is equalto any in Gen.
trail Kansas, and which has become
recognized as one Of the institutions
that has done much to make Great
Bend known all over the western
part of the state, and in otherways
advertised the town. This has been
done by hard work and giving sails
factory services for money received
We are authorized by MIR. Sans to
extend his thanks to the people and
business men of Great Bend for the
many favors shown and the good
words spoken at all times, and to the
people of this territory generally for
their substantial patronage. In re-
tir.ng from business he does not leave
the town, but will continue to be a
resident of the best that is. The
family has many friends here who are
pleased to know this.
We bespeak for Mr.. Higens, who
comes to our city with the best Of
credentials, hearty welcome by the
business Interests of the community,
and we feel sure that the excellent
business thatIhas been accorded the
institution in the part will be con-
tinued under the new management.

question of platform, the anti-free-
lumber democrats will have to be pre-
pared to defend their votes upon the
merits of the question. Will they in
sist that as a national proposition
tariff on lumber is desirable! Or will
they defend their action on the
ground that they speak for the in
terests of their states or districtsl
Even if they attempt to Justify tar
iff on lumber as a national PROPOSE
ton, and without regard to local in
terests, it will probably be found
that the national argument only mas
weight with those who represent con-
stituencies where there is a LEGAL sen-
timent in favor of a tariff on lumber,
and the public will doubtless weigh
the local interest in deciding upon the
motive of the senator or congressman
/ in voting against free lumber.
There is nothing more necessary to
the interest of all the people than
lumber, and it ought to be as cheap
as possible. To put tariff on lum-
Der is like putting a tax on salt, aud
the salt tax has even been considered
a hardship, and it has always been re-
sorted to bv despots, for no one can
escape such tax.
But lumber is not only a necessity
but it is a vanishing product, and a
tariff upon it simply stimulates furth-
er destruction. If there is any one
product that ought to go on the free
list, it is lumber.
Not only is lumber one of the neces-
saries of life-not only do our timber
lands neer such protection as can be
furnished them by the free importa.
ton of lumber-but a tax on lumber
imposes heavy burden on all the
people for the benefit of a very small
percentage of the people. What pro
portion of the American people car
possibly be benefited by tariff Oh
lumber9 The percentage is exceed
ingly small. Even in the states where
there are lumber interests, the major
ity of the people are buyers Of lum
