Obituary.

We are sorry to mention the death yes.
terday afternoon Of Miss Olga Nielsen, who
arrived but a few hours before on the Danish
steamer "St. Jan from Copenhagen. The
lady was sick nearly the whole voyage out
from lung trouble, Inflammation of the
pleura, and two days before the arrival of
the steamer the ships doctor tapped her.
Her condition, however, continued very low,
1t being impossible to give her the proper
ventilation necessary, though every possible
effort was made to make her comfortable,
On arrival in port it was found that the
only possible chance of saving her was to
get her ashore, where the proper attention
could be given at the hospital. Despite the
utmost care however as we'll as the applicn-
tion Of stimnlonts, the lady passed away

The Danish paper Bdy$en CThe Exchanger
publishes the above Company's Report fer
1911, from which we translate the follow
ing
From tue report it appears that the yeary
IN spite Of many difficulties III the working
of the Company's estates, must be described
as fairly satisfactory, as the rather good
prices for the Company's chief products,
sugar and cotton, brought in a surplus, SO
that there can be carried over Il balance Of
1870 Kr.
THE COTTON CULTIvATIoN.
The result in regard to quantity was fair
~ satisfactory. At the conclusion Of the pre-
vious years report the expected crop could
only be estimated at about SIS, 900 lbs. of
seed cotton, but the favourable weather
brought the total product up to G13,319 lbsj
and the product per acre was 1913 lbs,
considerably greater than in any previous
year.
The threatened reduction of price, the
prospect Of which the report of the c%ultiva-
ton of new and superior varieties Of cotton
in Egypt held over us, remained in allegiance,
at all events temporarily, partly b. cause
the varieties did not entirely come mp to
the high expectations entertained Of them,
and partly because of poor growth and sick
ness in the Egyptian cotton, and the result
was that cur crop vas sold ut an average
price of 1892 pence per English pound.
This price, which with the dark prospects rs
q background must be regarded us satisfac-
tory, was however decidedly lower than the
average price in 1910, which was 1873 pence.
The year 1911 should be classed as less
fortunate than 1910. For though the con-
ditions as to rain we're Abnormal in 1910,
and the otherwise wet summer months were
relatively dry, get August brought III 1910
Sc much rain, that the sowing, which pre-
ferably should take place about | July, could
only be commenced in August, but in 1911 the
conditions were still more unfavour0bIe. The
weather in August last year held steadily
dry and q continuous wind drove the clouds
away from the islands out over the ocean
with so great a speed that each OF the short
showers did not give more than IL lines
Of rain, and that is not sufficient to allow OF
cotton sowing.
AS in 1910, the last part Of the year
brought better rain conditions, the normally
dry winter months having given a consider
able rainfall. This brought the cotton to
good growth and everything pointed to q
rich towering, but the unusually frequenC
rains in December caused the boIls to rot
and fall off in considerable numbers. At
the same time the damp weather promoted
the development of II fungus and a new
injurious insect, a small beetle, popularity
called "stinking bug" which did it's part in
increasing the loss.
The Director of the Experimental Station,
Dr.. Longfield Smith, does not, however, see
anything particularly dark in the prospects
of fighting this sickness and the insect at

The committee of the whole with Kirk Moore in the chair as it's first business received the compulsory com pensation bill from the senate. There was considerable opposition to this bill on the ground that it is unconstitution- al and even if valid will not attain the effect sought by it's author. A motion that it be referred to the judiciary committee with instructions to bring in a state insurance bill as substitute carried.
 This action proved of no avail. how ever. as in the afternoo the com mittee reported that it could devise no better bll and the committee of the whole took a chance by passing the compensation bill as received.

 Routine business in the senate was of considerable magnitude yesterday and included the introduction of one new bill This was by Davis and pro vides for night watchman at the capitol.

And it was while he had charge of the com mitteo that the bill proposing to lower the rates for filing fees for articles of incorporation came up.
