COTTON MILLS
TO SHUT DOWN
To install Moiors for Using EIec'
tric Power in Place Of Steam

The Erwin Cotton Mills at West
Durham and ai Duke and the Pearl
Mil will close down Friday for a
period Of two weeks. The principal
reason for this cessation OF activities
Is to allow the installation Of motors
and machinery for the operation Of
these mills by electricity. and a lack
Of orders for the goods also makes d
few weeks vacation desirable on the
part OF the management OF the mills.
For some time there hae been a lack
or orders for denims which are manu-.
facuired By one OF the Erwin mills IN
Durham and by the mills at Duke.
The new Erwin MIL manufactures
sheetings and finishes the goods, and
there has been better demand for the
output OF this mill than FOR the others.
The Pearl Mnl also manufactures
sheelings. All OF the mills have been
running short hours for some time,
and there has been as much curtail.
ment as possible without deprising
the min iaborers Of support. The
rapid decline IN the price OF cotton
recently has served 10 further upset
the cotton mill business and decrease
orders. Jobbers are afraid to buy
goods which are now being sold on
the hasis Of higher prices for cotton
than the staple Is now bringing fof
future delivery. A large number 81
the mills have large stocks Of finished
products on hand that were made from
high-price cotton. and the manage
ment Of the mills naturally DO not De.
sire to increase this stock.

MExicANs ON MOVE.

There has recently been a greater movement of Mexicans through this city than has ever been known be fore is the report of railroad officials. This movement is in two directions, some going from the vicinity of Naco and other points to Fl Paso. and thence. it is thought, into Chihuahua. Others come out of Chihuahua by way of Fl Paso and go on to Can anea or to other Sonora points.
 Railroad officials say that within a week there were more than hun dred Mexicans passed through Doug las en route to Fl Paso. Usually it is when there is railroad work that the Mexieans travel to the point where it is obtainable but this is not the case at present. It is thought that the east bound Mexican pas sengers are heading into the trouble that exists in. Chihuahua and that the west bound passengers are seek ing to avoid and keep at a distance from possible trouble. The incoming emigrants from Chihuahua are close ly watched and several arrests in Cananea have been reported

They have been run successfully there and the req son for their sale is that the owner is leaving the service.
 Captain Wheeler then started to raise funds He did not ask much from any one man preferring that there should be a number interested in the matter rather than only a few.
 Captain Wheeler states that he will put telephone in his house and win keep the dogs there. He will be ready with horse and dogs to take the trail day or night. on a few minutes notice that burglary or other crime has been committed and the animals will be on warm trail from the start.
