Wittiest remarks wasted because of the
move Of a hand or of the head of the

Then, again. the laugh is taken out of

COOPERATIVE CONSTRUCTION
Board Of Control and Coun-
ty Supervisors Will Work
Together Two Available
Routes-No Choice Made
Yet.

Territorial Engineer J. =. Grand.
who with Robert \. Craig, citizen
member Of the board of control. and
T. c. Norris of Prescott, president
Of the Good Roads association Of Ari-
iona, recently looked over the pros
pective routes Tor a territorial road
between Flagstaff and the Grand Can
yon, is very enthusiastic over the pro-
ject, ana says he believes the road
win be in use by the first of Novem-
Der As previously and frequently
mentioned in these columns. the su-
perVis0rs Of Coconino county have
volunteered TO do much of the con-
struction if the board # control viii
run the lines, and the trip of the
gentlemen named was To get an idea
of the most suitable route
Mr.. Girand says they made the
trlp<to the canyon going around the
san Francisco mountains To the east.
and returned by circl.ng the noun
tains To the west The outgoing trip
required five hours and five minutes
ard the return trip, nine hours The
latter route is over the old stage road
The fact that the trip both WAYS was
made with an automobile demonstrates
that a good road can be built with
very little money. as either route is
passable, to begin with. Asked which
route would probably be selected. Mr..
Grand said he could not answer.
That is for the board OF control to
decide, after he files his report Both
are scenic routes, as there is much to
see Of novel interest on either side
of the San Franchises.
During their stay in Flagstaff
Messrs. Grand and Craig were sent
for by the supervisors of Navajo |
county, who are much interested in |
the territorial work. and who desired /
the visitors To investigate the feasibil- |
lily and desirability of building a |
bridge over the Little Colorado river |
at or near St Joseph. The supervis- !
ors had in mind the building of such |
bridge and thought the board Of |
control might be induced to assist in |
the undertaking. Mr.. Grand will also /
file a report on that question with
the board of control, and does not |
care to anticipate it in an interview.
Respecting the general plan of the
Navajo supervisors are greatly inter-
ested and are anxious that some
work shall be done as soon as possible
in that county. Mr. Grand did not
care to discuss what might. could.

future but he said that ultimately

to cotton importers and foreign
banking interests all over the
world, requesting said cotton
buyers to ask their American sell
lers of cotton to comply with the
plan and to request American ex-
change buyers to have all their
documents approved as to their
genuineness through the central
Office in New York.
Your committee stated that
it considered the action of the
Liverpool and New York COM
mittees as as high-handed and
unwarranted in endeavoring to
put this plan into operation upon
such short notice and without
consultation with southern ex-
porters and southern exchange
buyers. who are mainly interest
ed in the proposition and whose
regulations are entirely at stake.
The committee in. giving rea-
sons for opposing the plan, re-
ported that the losses through
Knight, Yancey & Co. and Steele,
Miller & Co.. were nothing, and
consequently there was nothing
to justify the complex and cum
bersome method of handling cot
ton," as proposed; that the prop
osition plan is an insult upon all
those interested in the handling
of cotton; that it gives to New
York a decided advantage in the
purchase of documentary bills,
while other cities will be under
the necessity of paying for their
bills before verification can be
obtained.
I'm other words, the plan is
drawn entirely in the interest of
the foreign cotton buyers and
bankers and the New York Ex-
change buyer. without regard to
the interests of the large section |
of the country in which cotton is
produced and which bears the
primary burden of financing the
crop. /"

Plan to Institute Cotton Bills

Direct Insult

New Orleans, Aug. 16. Brand
ing the proposed plan of the Liv-
erpool cotton bills of lading COM
mittee to institute IN New York
a clearing house for the valida-
ton of cotton bills of lading as a
direct reflection and insult upon
those engaged in the exporting
of cotton and placing itself
upon record as opposing the plan
in its entirety, the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange this afternoon
through its board of directors
passed resolutions to this effect
and approved the report of its
special committee appointed to
investigate the proposition.
The directors also adopted reso-
lutions authorizing its president
to issue invitations in the name
of the exchange to all southern
exchanges, boards of trade ship
pers and exporters, and others
interested in the handling of cot
ton to meet here in joint confer
ence, probably during the annual
convention of the. American
Bankers Association, about Nov.
Goth next, for the purpose of
aG 0pting measures for the pro-
lection of their respective and
mutual interests.
The local exchange expresses
itself as being willing. in the fu-
ture as in the past, to cooperate
in any feasible and just plan for
the protection of the legitimate
cotton trade and the elimination
of practices contrary to CONNER
cial morality any feasible plan |
that will not take further tribute
from the southern planters. All
cotton exchanges in the United
States were urged to oppose the |
proposed plan.
In the report of the special
COMMITTEES made public today, it |
was stated that Charles II. Haight
representing the Liverpool inter |
ests. at a conference last Satur-
day explained the entire plan to
the local committee, but as no
change from the original plan
was noted he was informed that
an adverse report would be made
and proposition opposed.
