ATTORNEY GILLETTE
 RETURNS

Louis R. Gillette, assistant U. S.. attorney, arrived from Ruby and lower river points Thursday evening, and will be in Panama for a few days
 Mir. Gillette reports the work on the Ruby telephone line advancing rapidly, and communication with the creeks will probably be established very soon. It is to be one of the most substantial lines in the North, and the installation of town lines is very near complete, about thirty lines being already in.
 The Northern Commercial company has practically finished securing a site for it's Improvements, and there IS promise that they will start building substantial store and other buildings at once.
 Small clean-ups are arriving from the creeks every week, most of the opera tions so far being carried on in prim- itive way on acconnt of the lack of machinery. Several large boilers and substantial mining outfits have been un- loaded on the beach, but it is doubtful whether, on account of the condition of the summer trails, they can be moved to the claims before the freeze-up.
 Trail and Long creeks seem to be the leading producers, since greater part of the prospecting, at least of the sub- stantial sort, has been confined to those creeks; but several other creeks promise well, and within the last few days a strike is reported to have been made on the south side of the Salatna, and num- bers of prospectors are hastening there
 There are about three hundred creeks within a radius of twenty-five miles on the north side, and if the south side contains gold in paying quantities every one expresses confidence of permanent and lively camp.
 Thus far it is poor mans camp, and business in town and on the creeks is on "bedrock" With the coming o1 machinery and money, it is likely to be like other large camps where these two factors win the reward.

MIR. RICHMOND ARRIVES FROM
 DOWN RIVER

Mir. Volney Richmond, superintendent of the Northern Commercial company arrived here from the lower river posts on the launch Carrier this morning.
 "Ruby is considerable of speculating proposition so far," said Mir. Richmond, "but it has every chance to make a good camp. They have some very good spots of pay on Long creek and Bear pup and Windy Bench are looking especially good and pay has also been located on the upper end on Trail.
 There will be large amount of pros pecting down there this summer and fall and through the winter.
 Mir. Richmond states that the people of Ruby are building all the time and a big town is rapidly being built up. There are three sawmills there and they are all busy The N. c. company is putting up a warehouse with a 6S-foot front on Front street. The company is also bringing the store building from Dikeman over to Ruby.
 The Ruby telephone line will be con- nected to the creeks within three weeks.
 There is a big country adjacent to Ruby and there are probably more creeks in close proximity to the town than in any other camp in Alaska.
 The reports reaching Ruby from the Salatna and the Novia districts are very encouraging and every one spoken to by Mr. Richmond while in Ruby spoke enthusiastically about the prospects for a good camp. Everyone there seems to think that Ruby will be a sure win

JOYOUS OVER WEATHER

THoMASTON, Ca, March 19.-The
past few days OF good weather, coupled
with the weather mans promise to keep
the good work UP. has brought sunshine

repair the damage done by the recent
continued bad weather, and the farmers
are beginning to haul out their guano
Merchants here in Thomaston have
not sold half as much guano up to this

THE ONION CROP

An average crop of Bermudas is
from 10000 to 1900 pounds per
acre. although yields as high as
$4,000 pounds have been reported.
Prices run from S1.25 to 500 per
cwt., the average being about s1.6O.
Careful growers average about
$3.50 per acre, while the average
cost of seed. growing and market
ing, is about $50 per acre.
The market handles onions in
three grades-primes. seconds and
picklers. Primes are those of one
and one-fourth inches in diameter
and larger. seconds those from
three-fourths inch to one and one
fourth inches in diameter. while
picklers are those that will pass
through three-fourth inch
screen. While grading may be
done in the field, onions shrink
rapidly, and should be regarded
before shipping.
Onions should be marketed in
thin barrels having numerous
openings for ventilation, and head
ed with burlap. Fifty-six pounds
of dry onions are considered a
standard bushel.

ON NEW PLAN
FOR GRADING COTTON
~ Asaooiated Press. ]

|. WASHINGTON, March 19.-Dr. B. T.
Galloway, chief of the agricultural de-
partment's bureau of plant industry, be-
lieves that to get a more scientific
basis for grading cotton than the pres
ent one, which depends on the color
and the length of staple, the strength
of the fibre and its spinning qualities
also should be taken into consideration.
If community type" of cotton can be
raised the farmers of the south will
get more money for their product said
Mr.. Galloway today, and the department
of agriculture through its farmers CO.
operative work, is planning to make ex-
tensive efforts to have groups of plant
ers in various sections raise exactly the
same grade of cotton. This would help
them all, it is pointed out, because they
could market their product together and
get higher prices.

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, March 49,
What the acreage will be in watermel-

like the cotton acreage, on the condi-
ton OF the weather for the next week
or two. If the present bright weather
continues so that the growers may DO
able TO get the ground ready and plant

ably be good crop put in, but if the
rains delay matters much longer IL will
be useless to plant a large crop for
shipment, as the melons will be so late
in reaching maturity that the shippers
viii not be able to get into market
ahead OF the shipments from Alabama
and other points higher up.
The melon crop here last year was
an enormous one. but the growers lost
badly on il owing 90 the fact that the
Florida crop was later than usual and
the crops from north Georgia and other
sections earlier so that the market was
glutted and prices away down.

In reference to the latter proposed
