SENATE PASSES
 WATERWAY BILL EFFORT MADE AT NIGHT SESSION TO AMEND IT INTO CONSER-
 NATION MEASURE. SPIRITED DEBATE ENSUES Resolution Lost After Treachery ls Charged by Friends of Act-eill
 Finally Passed in Orig
 inaI Form.
SPIRITED DEBATE ENSUES

Springfield, H., June 1.-The Hi nois senate, by vote of 30 to /, passed the Johnson Deneen deep water ways bill. The senate then adjourned so members could catchs early morn ing trains for their homes.
 The house has also adjourned, and both bodies will reconvene Wednes- day, when the lower branch will take up consideration of the waterways measure.
 The senate defeated the amendment changing the Johnston bill to purely conservation measure. This left the bill practically in the form it passed the senate at the regular session.
 There was concerted movement in the Illinois senate to convert the administration waterway and water power bill into conservation meas ure, and treachery was freely charged during the heated debate.
 Senator Magill offered an amend ment striking out section 5 of tho Johnston bill This amendment wiped out any proposition for the expendi- ture of the $20.O00,000 bond issue voted by the people of the state. pro vided that no contracts for work be let pending a report of commission, authorized to use an appropriation of $500,0O0 for securing water power rights. In other words, this amend. ment changed the bill from a water way measure to power site conser- vation measure.

Growth and DeveI- Opment of Prescott
 and Nevada County
Continued from page D

In 1871 Nevada County had 1, 116 poll [tax payers while in 1910 there were 3,e42 people paying poll tax in the county.
 The tillers of the soil have many opportunities in Nevada County. We have black, red, sandy, prairie. and bottom lands. Cotton, corn and alfalfa are grown on the bottom lands. The prairie lan6 is used for growing small grain and for grazing pur poses. The red and sandy soils are perhaps the best suited to fruit growing and vegetables: but will produce almost any crop. In fact cotton, corn, oats, wheat. rye, alfalfa, peas, potatoes, pea nuts. sorghum, peaches, grapes. plums, and melons, appies, pears and all kind of vegetables and berries are grown in Nevada County. The best breeds of cattle and hogs are being raised and improved farming imple- ments are in demand. The peo- pie had splendid exhibits in every department at the County Fair in 1910, and at the state fair this county took the first prize on alfalfa, cabbage, sweet pota- toes, sorghum molasses, COW peas. Japanese persimmons and wool; second prize on ribbon cane and egg plant
 Prescott, the county seat of Nevada County, is a thriving little city of about three thousand inhabitants, sit- uated on the main line of the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad ninety six miles southwest of Little Rock the State Capitol. It has a splendid municipal water and light plant. The water is obtained from deep wells and is pure and refreshing Natural gas has been piped iuto the city and many homes are taking ad- vantage of the cheap and convenient means of lighting and heating it af- lords, Prescott also has local tele- phone system connected with rural and long distance lines. Six rural mail routes lead out from here and keep our progressive farmers in touch with the latest improvements. The city also has about fifteen miles of concrete walks.
 Three banks having capital of $10O, GOO and deposits aggregating be- tween $3OOO, 600 and $4OO, 900 are found here. The city has three school build ings. Each of them modern two story brick and stone structure furnish ed with steam heat and other conven- fences. The High School building the last of the three erected was complet- ed about four months ago at a cost of $25, 900 and is equipped for instruction in agriculture, manual training, and domestic science.

ORDERS HIMSELF A WIFE
Arkansas City Man Writes to New York
Mayor-Gets Advice.

New York.-Wiliiam W. Mummey, OF
Arkansas City, Ark, wrote to Mayor
Gaynor asking him to find him a wife.
Mummey's letter in part was: "She
must be true and %virtuous, of noble
character, a good cook and housekeep-
er, between 1s and rs years old, in good
health and what you would call good
looking"
Mayor Gaynor answered today as fol-
lows: why do you send way up here
to New York for a wifei You may not
be SO attractive as you think you are.
From my way of thinking most any
woman a man happens to meet is alto
gether too good for him. But it seems
you are unable to find a wife among
all the women of your locality. Do you
not think that you are altogether too
particular? I am very certain that
there are many there who would make
good wives"

Lost Mustache While He Slept.

DR.. Charles Auer of Nyack was a
very angry man when he arrived home
minus his black mustache, of which
he was proud, says a dispatch to the
New York Herald. His loss was dis
covered when he awoke about six
o'clock at the camp conducted every
year by the boys of Grace Episcopal
church. That is, part of his loss was
~discovered; this was that some OF the
boys had cut off one-half of his mus
tache IN the night.
DR.. Auer Is employed at the a
rytown hospital. He visited h camp
with the Rev. E. L. Reed. curate OF
Grace church, and laughingly told the
campers of efforts to persuade him to
cut off his adornment.
Some OF the boys after midnight
crept into the physicians bunk, and
armed with scissors. did the dark deed
while the physician slumbered.
When DR.. Auer discovered what
had happened he obtained a rowboa'
and went to Haverstraw, a half mile
above the camp, where he sought 6
barber and had the job completed.

Montgomery, Ala.-Five hundred cot

grsssnlen, United States senators and
business men, representing every cotton
growing state in America, declared IN
convention Wednesday that the farm
ers' cotton is worth Is cents a pound
and resolved that the farmer should
hold his cotton for that price. The res
olution followed a committee report that
the crop in America would not exceed
49, 500 900 bales.
For financing the crop this year, q
resolution was adopted that the farmer
should deposit his cotton in a warehouse
and use his receipt al collateral until
he could sell his cotton at a fair price
not less thar Is cents. There was also
a resolution that the several state legis-
latures provide for a system of bonded
warehouses.
Declaring that organization among the
farmers, and cooperation among them
with the bankers and financiers was the
solution of the problem, the convention
resolved itself into a permanent organ.

FOR DOCTORING OF PLANTS
English Institution of Instruction 10
Declared to Be Easily the, Best
In the World.

London possesses the best institu-
ton for the instruction of doctors OF
plants" that exists anywhere. For
years botany suffered from a too
academic treatment, not being
sufficiently In touch with the
practical needs of man, but the
labors of the London institution.
as well as those of a similar
nature elsewhere, bid fair to be OF
much benefit to the world in general,
The institution referred to is the
botanical department of the Imperial
College of Science in South Kensing-
ton. where vegetable physiology and
pathology are studied in the most ap-
proved style. This department Is
training a new race of plant doctors
young men who will be as we'll &C.
quainted with plant disease as with
the character and constitution OF
plants.
The tendency now Is more and more
to study advanced science from the
point Of view of it's application to in
dustry. There is a great demand for
young men who are able to deal with
plant diseases and plant sanitation.
This demand is largely in connection
with big tropical and colonial indus-
tries, such as rubber, sugar, tobacco,
cinchona and cotton growing. 1t
should be borne in mind, when con-
sidering the scope OF the London In
stitution, that the sole value of a very
large area of the British colonial pos
sessions depends entirely on the value
of their vegetable products and that
millions are lost every year through

CONDITION OF CROP
IN COTTON STATES
YIELD EAST OF RIVER NOT so GOOD
AS LAST YEAR.
From IS to IS Per Cent of the Bolls
Open, Which Appears to
Be a Record.

Memphis, Tenn. = The most striking
feature of the cotton crop is the large
amount of cotton that is open. In all
states east of the Mississippi river from
65 to IS per cent of the bolls are open.
This appears to be a record for. any re-
cent year. Rains in the western districts
have retarded opening to some extent
and parts of Texas are making a top
crop.
Temperatures were very high during
the week and picking was retarded.
With s%easonable weather and no rain,
great advancement will be made in this
work. As yet no Withholding from mar
ket is noted and the ginning has been
heavy, but the temper of the farmers is
to expect higher prices.
In this, the last weekly report Of the
present growing season, correspondents
opinions summarize about rs follows:
North and South Carolina-Crop nc
better and possibly slightly less than
last years.
Georgia. large outturn in southern
and central counties with possibly a lit
tie smaller crop than last year in the
north.
Alabama-Owing to a good crop in the
southern district the yield may exceed
last year, but only moderately. Very
heavy damage by worms.
Observation-Disclosures point to
smaller crop than last year.
Tennessee and neutrality-suspicious.
are for a good crop, but not the record
breaker once predicted.
Observation-Disclosures run 80 to 81
per cent over 1910.
Arkansas-Much confusion exists o.
to the likely outcome.
Decentralization point to
smaller crop than last year.
Texas-The crop will be larger tina,
last season. Where ideas are expresses
they run 10 to 25 per cent greater.

Texas Sawmills Shut Down.

Beaumont, Tex.-Thirty-six sawmills
in Texas and Louisiana are now closed,
and it is feared this number will be in
creased to fifty unless there is a de-
cided change in the status of the dis
pute between the mill owners and the
timber workers brotherhood. With
stocks running low at the manufacture
ers', with the possibility that the entire
available supply of timber at the mills
may be exhausted soon, with the mar
ket %livelier than at any time for years
and with prices showing a tendency
rise, the situation is acute.
