Clarksville, Texas October 25.
Buyers here have been paying
from seventeen 90 twenty-five
cents for a variety Of long
staple cotton grown in this sec
tion this season. This class Of
cotton has been produced here
for some time, but this is the
first season it has been extern
sively grown. The price of this
cotton is much HIGHER on account
of its extra staple and its yield
is about the same as other grades.
Local buyers are eager to pur-
chase the long staple and will
ingly give the high prices quoted
above. Its greater value and
this years success in production
have caused widespread inter-
est in this cotton. Farmers from
neighboring vicinities have come
here to learn the methods of
cultivation and ginning, while
those of more distant counties
are sending representatives for
that purpose. 1t is estimated
that twice the present acreage
will be devoted to long staple
cotton next year.
This year a small patch of this
cotton was grown in the town
Of Lubbock. 1t was raised IN

Probably In no part of the United
States have the prices of land ad.
vanced more rapidly during the past
half decade than in certain parts OF
Montana. The doubling of the price
each year for three or four years is
not unheard Of. and quadrupling in
hve years is common thing. To
some of the older residents of the
state, accustomed to regard land val.
ues as low, and sceptical about the
safety Of land as an investment at
any price, this increase in prices looks
very questionable. There is a com
mon apprehension of a decline in
prices that will retard the states
progress and bring financial ruin to
investors.

OVERLOOKED A BET.

T>HE Northwest Development
4 League, which was brought to
a head in Helena last week
can be made powerful factor in
the development of the resources of
the Northwest We fail to notice,
however, that it is cognizant of the
obstruction in the way of the states
progress by reason of the n. P.'s re-
iusal to dispose of it's vast holdings
to actual settlers. Eastern Montana
will always be at decided disad-
vantage until the railroad land is
placed on the market at a reasonable
price where it will attract farmers.
Here is wnere the league has over
looked bet In the resolutions
adopted at the Helena meeting, the
injustice Of the government S policy
in withdrawing natural resources
when such resources are needed to
properly develop the country adjac-
ent thereto, is recognized, but not
word is said about the big land
monopoly which has eastern Mon
tana as well as other western states
in its grasp. retarding progress and
development as nothing else can.
1t might be added that Louis Hill
president of the Great Northern
with which road the n. P. is close
ly connected, is one of the leading
spirits in the Northwest Develop.
ment League, which possibly ex-
plains why the resolutions were
silent on this one point. 1t seems
to be Just a little inconsistent for

Musselshell County is wondering
how it can compel the Northern
Pacific to put its millions of acres
idle lands there upon the market,
thus placing home makers upon
the vast tracts used for grazing
only. Why not tax the land at a
rate which will make the company
glad to lift the embargo? Rosebud

INDExING BOOKS.
The Custom Is an Old One That De.
veloped Rather Slowly.

VCioPCQ SIOWiy.
The custom of indexing books de-
veloped gradually. Cicero used the
word index but in the sense of a
table of contents. Seneca provided
some works which he sent to friend
with notes of particular passages, 80
that he who only aimed at the useful
might be spared the trouble of exam
lining them entire" This was at least
a partial Index" In the modern sense.
Annotated, or at least explanatory,
tables of contents seem to have pre-
coded the index proper.
Such tables followed the order Of
appearance of the subjects In the
book itself. Alphabetical arrangement,
which was the beginning of the real
index, appears not to have been
thought of until the invention Of print
ing, and even then 1t spread but
slowly. Erasmus was one of the first
to provide his works with alphabetical
indexes. The custom did not become
universal until we'll into the sixteenth
century.
The first index to an English book is
said to be that printed in Polydore
Nergil's "Angliae Historiae," in 1916.
An edition of this work published ten
years later has an index of thirty

for building will also be studied by
contractors. Tentative plans will be

There is a possibility that Stone

struction work of all kinds, may Sc
cure the contract for building the
hotel At least they will submit their
propositions the same as any of the
other large contractors who will be in

day that plans should be in such shape
that the first shovelful of dirt for the
excavation can be thrown within six
ty days and that the time consumed
in construction should not be more

OLD LONDON LEGEND.
The Church That Stands In tho Field

The Church That Stands In tho Field
of Forty Footsteps.
The church in Woburn square. Lon.
don, is said to occupy the site of the
Field of Forty Footsteps" to which
a tragic legend attaches The story
dates from the days of Monmouth's
rebellion. According to the version
given in Mr.. j. S. Ogilvys Relics and
Memorials of London Town. two
brothers fell in love with n woman who,
either from callous vanity or fearing
reprisals from the unsuccessful sutton.
would not say which was to be the
favored swain, suggesting that they
should fight duel and to the victor
she would give her charms. They
came from the town to this suburban
field. The woman calmly sat down to
await events. She had not long to
wait. Judging from the number of foot
prints, when one of the brothers fell
dead, and as the victor approached
she held out her arms to greet him,
when, with sudden revulsion Of feel.
ing for his brothers death, he slew her
as she stood, and, turning the weapon
he drove 1t through his own heart. So
they were found stiff in death with
the footprints stamped in the wet
clay, where they remained indelible
through summer heat and winter
frost; no green thing would grow
nor any man build himself a dwelling
there. Streets were erected all round,
but 1t was not until the nineteenth
century that men took heart of grace
and built church there, when the
conservation of the ground rolled back
the curse and the memory of the leg
end grew faint and faded away.
