 | Governor Noel has always been a strong advocate of the conservation of | frt,D
 ment of waterways and the reclama- l tion of arid as well as swamp lands, | but hereafter he will perhaps be mora | enthusiastic than ever. The governor | has just received a small box of very | fine Irish potatoes sent him from Twin
 Falls. Idaho In the box were speci-
 mems of sage brush, the only natural growth on the arid and desert lands of that section, but which, through IT, | rigation, have been converted into fer | tile and prosperous farming, fruit and | vegetable lands and settled with a hap | py and prosperous people. Until ir. | rjgation became an accomplished fact no person dreamed that such potatoes as those sent the governor of Missis-
 s;ppi could be grown on such desert wastes.

Price of Cotton Seed Is Too
 High This Year
MUCH OIL IS IN STOCK
Mississippi Congress of Mothers Will Meet in Jackson in January and Have Announced Their
 Platform

Jackson, Miss, December 2S.-(Special It is doubtful If the oil mills of this sec ton are making much money this season due largely to the high price of seed, bu also to the decreased demand for mea from Europe. The demand for fertilize meal has hardly begun, starting usual, after the holidays, and 1t is believed prices will then increase. It is stated thal sorne of the independent mills have beer forced to sell their meal as they go along in order that they may buy seed, but te what extent that has been true Is only ( matter of conjecture here.
 The demand for the hulls has improved since the freezes of few weeks ago when the grass was killed out, but the hull demand is always 8 more or less local one, depending very largely on ths number of head of cattle being fed foi market in the vicinity of the mill, and that industry Is not so great as few years ago. due largely to the presence of the cattle tick and the inability of far mers to move their cattle across quaran- tined territory. However, the farmers are using a good many hulls for feeding their breeding stock, and the demand Is getting better day by day.
 It ie stated that the mills are not sell ing their oil freely. their idea being to hold as much as possible. A great deal of the oil sold is said to have been due to the fact that the mills needed tank room for more oil. The quality is fine and prces are good.
 The Mississippi Congress of Mothers, which is due to meet in Jackson January 27 and B, will bring together a great many of the most prominent ladies of the state, and Jackson Is even now discuss ing and considering a plan of entertain ment.
 The officers of this organization are Mrs. R. B. Stapleton, Hattiesburg, pres ident; Miss Margaret McRea Lackey, Clinton, recording secretary; Mrs. John E. seavey, Brookhaven, treasurer; Mrs. M. T. Flood, Brookhaven. corresponding secretary.
 These ladies have recently issued cir cular letter announcing their platform and what they stand for. with request tO lllt JdChSOn COITtSpOllucut5 lO pIlHl. It is as follows:
 'The Mississippi Congress of Mothers stands for:
 T. A united organized parenthood for the uplift of the child.

Spokane, Feb. 11.-Arthur Pra-
que, dean of the newsboys in Spo-
kane, will be a candidate for the
state legislature from the second dis
trict in this city to succeed the late
Judge Norman E. Buck. Prague
served as page during two sessions
of the legislature and his mind has
been fired with a desire to serve his
countrymen. He promises to take
care of the newsboys, if elected, but
declares he will not ask the state to
furnish free car transportation, tur-
key dinners or leather-seated loung-
ing chairs for the "newsies' ''Tll
see to it that the kids get all that's
coming to 'em, he said with empha-
sis. There's one thing and that is
I'm not afraid of the cars and I'll
go the limit with the bunch that has
stood by me through thick and thin
and I guess I'll have a few live ones
at court when it comes to show
down for the real goods. I'm not
mixing up in this politics thing for
the love of it, but to grab off some
thing for my fellows and I'm going
to make good all along the line"

DIR. Mccoy returned yesterday
afternoon from a trip over the
Rock Island grade In which he near
ly lost his life and his automobile.
He was called to set the broken arm
of Mrs. NJ r. Lannan who lives
south of Rock Island. The roads
were impossible for carriages and
they could not bring her to the sur
geon to have it set on account of the
slides in the mountains. For six
miles DR.. Mccoy and Mr.. Courtway
had to make their own road and
several times had to use the jack
screw in order to save their machine
from plunging over the precipices.
On their way back they were assist
ed by six mon with rope. DR.. Nc
Coy says he would not make the trip
again for anything.

Chamber OF Commerce. was the only
representative OF the commercial
body of the "City OF Destiny
The building committee came in
for their just dues from the speak
ers and during the whole evening
each one was the recipient of many
congratulations and compliments.
The new quarters of the Daily

the occasion to look over the plant
and new equipment.
Two aspirants for United States

Has Praise for Wenatchee.

R. 8. Crowl, editor Of the Odessa
Record and brother of the Crowl bro
theirs of this city, spent a few days
here the first of the week visiting.
The late issue of the Odessa Record
has the following to say in praise of
Wenatchee:
The editor of the Record, while
visiting at Wenatchee this week, was
surprised to note the improvements
that are taking place on every hand.
A fine commercial club building has
been completed at cost of 100000,
the Great Northern has erected new
$4,000 brick depot at that place,
and $4,000 has been invested in a
new high school building. The Daily
World has just been moved into its
new home, large two-story brick
building, and numerous other i'm
provements are under way. The
streets have been graded and cement
walks laid on the main thoroughfares
and other street improvements cost
ing $250,000 are contemplated dur
ing the coming season. The popu-
lation of the city is growing by leaps
and bounds. Wenatchee is now the
important commercial center of north
central Washington and an active fac
tor in the development and growth Of
that section of the state. 'Rah for
red apples-a combination hard to
beat.

Good Roads Men In Session
Continued from Page One.)

Mr.. Clark's suggestions will be fol-
lowed out about making the great
effort at Olympia.
Alex Pitcher, chairman of the
county commissioners, spoke along
the same lines that Mr. Clark did.
Judge Burke represented the Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce and
gave assurance of hearty co-opera-
ton from it. The audience gave
the Judge close attention and show
ed their appreciation of his presence
by their interest and applause.
DR.. Blake, w. A. Sanders and
George Hauber also spoke at some
length.
The sum of all the remarks was
that this section would do best to
secure its share of the state money
and make it's own Improvements in
dependent of the state; that the pro-
posed state highway would be very
desirable but long time coming,
and that the interests of the COM
munity would be better served by de-
voting all avanap1e funds to the i'm
provement of local roads. Not that
the meeting was in any way disposed
to hinder the development of the
state highway but that the local
roads leading into the county's cities
needed all the attention that could
be given them. Mr.. Clark cited one
instance that went to show the i'm
portance attached by another COM
munity to road matters. In River
side county, California, there is a
bonded Indebtedness Of $4,000, 1000
just for the county roads, whereas
Chelan county is not expecting to
spend as much in several years.
Just before the morning session
closed an organization was started
to be known as the Chelan County
Good Roads association. The meet
ing adjourned at 1890 to meet again
at 1870 for the purpose of electing
officers, after which the horticul-
tural interests will take charge OF
the meeting and discuss the Lafean
bill.
