COTT TON WORTH MORE THAN
It IS NOW BRINGING

Gus bluff to the effect that mills in
this country and Europe are threat
enng to curtaii production because OF
present prices. They cannot afford
to do so. About the most expensive
piece Of machinery to lie idle is the
modern cotton mill and the ones in
America and Europe are not going to
lie idle SO long as the demand for cot
ton cloth and WeaveS is as steady and
as difficult to satisfy as It is today.
In past years. the mills have made
enormous and swollen dividends on
low priced cotton. They may make
less on cotton this year, but they can
buy all the cotton needed for their
purposes at fifteen cents per pound
and still declare reasonable profits.
Il confidently assert that the cloth
market will follow the cotton market
with sufficient fidelity to bear out
these statements.
Your cotton is worth q higher
price than it is now bringing. The well
fare of yourselves, your wives and
YOUR children, the commercial inter-
est generally Of the South, dictate
that YOU resist any impulse to put
more cotton on the market. In SO do
ing, you are simply playing into the
speculative element, the Professional
price depressors. against whom We
have been at war for many years.
BY exercising business foresight
at this time YOU simply reap addi-
tional millions to the South. our duty
is clear, your duty as well as your
self interests.

and tried to start conversation with
the lovely lady who had the other
half of the same section.
Immediately the lady froze up like
a young icicle and looked out of the
window. After few more futile at
tempts the drummer rang for the
porter, ordered a pillow and told the
fellow to wake him FIVE minutes before
the train arrived at the station where
he wanted to drop off.
In little while, the porter informed
him that it was time to wake up. AS
he opened his eyes he looked across
and saw that the lady was asleep in
the opposite seat.
The drummer got his stuff together,
put on his overcoat, took his hat ready
for his departure and then touched the
lady on the shoulder. She awoke with

SEATTLE NEWS LETTER
U. p. viii Use N. p. 'Tracks-Campaign for
Prevention of Forest Fires

The announcement this week that
James J. Hill has consented to let the
Union Pacific Railroad enter Washing
ton over the lines OF the Northern
Pacific, and that the latter road will be
double tracked from Seattle to Port
land, means that Washington will re-
ceive the service OF the Hartman sys-
TEN many months sooner than was
anticipated. The Union Pacific will
hasten its terminals in Seattle and Ia
coma, and will be running trains before
fall. Meanwhile the efficiency of the
Northern Pacific will be greatly in
creased when the line is double tracked,
and will more than be able to handle
the Union Pacific traffic.
The Hill-Harriman agreement may
not prove satisfactory to the belligerent
folk who have been predicting bitter
railroad war in this state, but it will
surely please the shippers who are
looking for better facilities, wider
range Of markets, and prompt service.
The U. P. will be able to open its
branch lines many months earlier than
was expected and the Northern Pacific
will be in better shape than ever to
handle its immense traffic. Seattle
business men are especially pleased,
for the entrance of the Union Pacific
will make the total of transcontinental
lines reaching this city number five.
