HEFL|N ASKS AID IN COTTON WORM FIGHT Wants $5O,0OO to Protect
 the Crop DISCUSSES HIS BILL
Asserts Recent Rains and Attacks of Caterpillar and Boil Worm Have Woefully Affected the
 Cotton Crop

Washington August 14-(Special r. Congressman Hefin today introduced a bill in the House providing for the appro- priation of s5o.o00 for the purchase of ma terial to destroy the boil worm and cater pillar in the cotton belt. The money is to be paid out on the order of the Secretary of Agriculture to be used under the direc- ton of the entomologists of the depart rnent.
 Discussing his bill, MT. Hefiin said: "A few weeks ago the prospects for good cotton crop were very satisfactory. The bears were predicting bumper crop and low prices that were destructive to tht producers, but the recent. frequent ent heavy rains, followed by the damage done by the boil weevil and the boil worm 1T many sections of the cotton belt and the destruction wrought by the caterpillar il nearly every cotton producing state II the Union. have woefully affected the cot ton cop. On account of the heavy rains and the ravages Of the boil weevil the boil worm and the caterpillar, there art sections in the south where very little cot ton will be produced, and in some places absolute failure in this crop stares the farmer in the face.
 ''rhe conditions that now confront us coupled with the increased cost of produc- ton, make it absolutely necessary for the farmer to receive 15 or IS cents a pound for his cotton.
 Letter From Kinds
 q have received the following letter from pr. w. E. Kinds. professor of en- tomology at the Alabama Polytechnic in- stitute at Auburn, Ala, in which he says.
 Hon. J. Thomas Heflin. Washington:
 My Dear Sir: I have your message of August relative tos the outbreak of the cotton caterpillar in the state. For some time we have been doing the utmost to awaken the planters to the seriousness of the present situation and have them fully prepare to meet it. I believe that our efforts will meet with at least this measure of success: that there will be 2 demand for more poison than the entire eastern United States can supply. We have taken steps already to bring Into Alabama the entire available supply of the large insecticide manufacturers cen tering around New York and in the mid dle west. This amounts to several hun dred tons Of paris green and powdered arsenate of lead. It is all that can possI- bly be secured and In addition severa firms are starting to manufacture in an' tieipation that the demand may continue ong enough for the new product to bt placed in the field
 At the present time you will be inter ested to know that we have reports oi the worm in 50 counties of the state. In many places even this first crop is re- ceiving extensive damage. As you know, the next crop will be the one to determine largely the damage for this season.

POOL TOURNAMENT.
Much Interest Manifested by Cue
Artists i'm the District.

The pool tournament which is be-
ing played at Jim's Place, one game
each evening, is attracting consider
able attention and the enthusiasm Is
growing. The best players in the dis
trict are entered and interested spec
tators from all quarters crowd the
room to witness the games. The
rivalry between the players and their
hackers is becoming more intense.
Perhaps the most interesting game.
so far played was that of Friday
evening between d. Baseomb OF East
Ely and Walter Mcdonald of Ely,
with a large number of rooters pres
.ent for each contestant. Unfortunate
ly, from a spectators standpoint, the
players were so ~unevenly matched as
to dampen the enthusiasm, for it was
seen from the beginning that McDon-
aid didn't have a look-in with his
skillful rival and Bascomb put him
out of the amateur class entirely with
a score of 100 to 40.
The scores during the week ire as
follows:
Wednesday-John Anderson, 100;
Bert Barr. rs.
Thursday-F. s. %Jeanney. 100;
Jack Noonan, SO.
Friday-D. Bascomb, 100; Walter
Mcdonald, 40.

BOSTON MAN HAS PLAN.
Reorganization Proposition That Has
Approval of Local Committee.

A new plan of reorganization OF
the Ely Central company has been
proposed by H. e. Lodge of Boston,
a mining engineer and a heavy stock
holder of the company. Mr.. Lodges
plan is approved by DR.. Holmquist,
chairman af the Ely reorganization
committee, and by Lee Glockner, for
mer manager of the property. Mr..
Lodge states that in his opinion the
Immediate reorganization of the COM
pany is not feasible and suggests that
in view of the fact that most of the
stock of the company is held by per-
sons residing in the east, most eff
lfective work can be accomplished by
having the stockholders committee
of three or five members with head
quarters in Boston and have the
holders of stock deposit their stock
with the Federal Trust company or
Boston with the voting power for
said shares vested in the committee.
He suggests that the committee make
an assessment of FIVE cents to cover
the expenses of management and pay
off the Indebtedness and then get the
shares transferred to the names of
the present owners, which may re-
quire considerable time in view OF
the attitude of the old company.

retire from business in this district.
The store will be closed all day Sun

tict for the past five years and during
this time has been actively engaged

terest in various mining propositions
and the announcement of his depart
ure from Ely will be read with regret
by his friends. He states
that while he will dispose of his stock
and business property he will not
sell his residence at the present time,
feeling that it is a good investment
for he has confidence in the future of
the district, and while it becomes
necessary for him to give his atten-
tion to his Montana interests for the
immediate present, 1t is to be hoped
that at some future time he may see
his way clear to return and again
enter the business activities of this
camp.

are putting in a station at the 500 to
do some exploration work on that

above this point and have in all about
six feet of 1t, principally sulphides.
The rest of the shaft below this Is In
p~orphyry ore showing ~chalcocites. We
have not taken any samples, but 1t is
a low grade ore. The porphyry is
more oxidized than | anticipated al
this point, but ] am satisfied with
conditions.
This is not the ore that we have
at the 400, the ore which we got on
that contact of the porphyry and the
limestone. That lies further to the
west and We will have to crosseut out
to II. We have a pumping station at
the 400-foot mark. and the pumps
are working In most satisfactory
manner. ! am very well pleased with
all the conditions and the way I'm
which the work is being carried
