SEATTLE FIGHTING
BUBONIC RAT MENACE

Seattle, Wash, Oct 24.-Dr. James
E. Crichton, health officer of Seattle,
says that the bubOnic rat in Seattle is
serious.
Not for six years." he said, has
there been a case of bubonic plague in
a human being in Seattle. In the six
years during which we have been fight
ing the rats, we have found "a plague
rats. A considerable number were TAX
en- during the plague outbreak six years
ago and recently seven were killed in
a section of the water front which is
now thoroughly isolated. Thousands of
dollars are being expended in Seattle
under the orders OF the health depart
ment in tearing down condemned
wooden buildings, building cement
Easements and otherwise making the
water front as rat proof as we can
make it without a sea wall. The in
fected district is two blocks wide and
one block deep, and fronts upon the
bay, with planked street behind We
are working to make it impossible for
rats to lodge or breed on the water
front"

JAPnN BUYS MUCH
COTTON IN TEXAS
Already 10000 Bales Have
Been Bought ond as Much
More Is to Go.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 2A-More Texas
cotton is being shipped to Japan this
season than ever before. Up to this
time approximately 10000 bales have
left the state consigned to mills and
firms in Japan. No estimate is made
of the probable additional number of
bales that will find a market in that
country before the close Of the season
but il will run probably another 2O0,-
600 bales. It is stated that but for the
fact that India cotton can be pur-
chased at a lower price than the Texas
staple Japan would be in the market
for a considerably larger quantity OF
this states product Japanese cotton
buying firms have been established in
Austin and other towns Of Texas. Re
Gently several Japanese cotton experts
visited this state and made a tour OF
the cotton growing region for the Dur-
pose of investigating the crop condi-
K OuOuJi, c. Kilogawa, K Fipita and
others. They came to Texas as the
representatives Of large cotton mill in
terests in japan.
Flood Damage Not Extensive.
The effects Of the recent floods IN
central and south Texas have largely
disappeared and it is found that the
damage to the cotton crop, or rather
TO that part Of it which remained in
the fields unpicked, was not as great as
ever, were heavy, being estimated as
high as 10000 bales in some counties.
With the drying out Of the fields pick
ing is again going on and farmers are
rushing the work to the fullest posi-
bic degree It is now pretty certain
that there viii not be much Of a top
crop. Killing frost is likely to occur
at any time

In western Texas where the cotton

first experiments in planting the sta
pie being made only two or three years
ago in some Of the counties, the yield
this season is exceptionally large. It
is stated that in the Tahoka territory,
embracing Lynn and adjoining coun-
ties, the average production per acre
IS more than one-half bale. This is
larger than that Of the older and bet

Estimates of the probable total Tex
as yield for this season still vary
widely. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that the figures will be around
four million bales The ginning rec
ords do not show as much of q decrease
under last year as might have been
expected and for this reason it may be
that the total yield will run as high as
100000 bales The labor shortage
which was causing a delay in harvest
ing the crop in some localities is be-
ing rapidly overcome by importing
Mexlcans from Rio Grande border
points to the farms. These Iaborers
are for the most part refugees who
fled to the American side of the Dor
der to avoid falling victims to the
cruelties of the fighting forces in their
native country.

DEVELOPMENT
LAKE ROOSEVELT MAY
OVERLIE POOL OF OIL

Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct 24.-The opera
tions of the Globe company, headed
by Col. James A. Fleming, which is
drilling for oil across the lake from
the town of Roosevelt, are being
watched with much interest in this
valley. If oil is struck where that
company is drilling it is practically
certain that lake Roosevelt overlies
a vast pool of petroleum
Contrary to general impression, the
reclamation act does not contemplate
that the Salt river irrigation project
shall be turned over to the land own
ers- They are to pay for the project
and take over its operation and main
tenance, but title will remain vested
in Uncle Sam
It has been suggested that if oil is
found the government may sell priv
ileges to pump around the edges of
the lake and in shallow places where
wells can be put down.

ROESkE. CAR BARN
BANDIT" IS INSANE
Man Captured at Miller Sta
tion Years Ago Loses
His Mind.

Emile Roeske, known as the under
dog of the car barn bandits" was taxi
en- from the penitentIary at Joliet to
the state insane asylum at Chester yes
terday. He complained bitterly of his
small part in the crime of the bandits
as he was locked in his cell
At the time of the murderous hold-up
of the Sixty-First street car barns
Roeske was only 19 years ols. He be-
came involved with the gan by acci-
dent While sleeping in a sawdust bin
he overheard the plotting of the des-
peradoes. They discovered that he
knew their secret and consequently
took him In.
At the trial 1t was shown that the
murder of Otto Bauder in a saloon IN
1903. the crime for which Roeske was
held, was merely a plot against Roeske
The bandits had planed to shoot him
in hold-up, but he escaped.
During his connection with the car
barn gang Roeske was the butt of con-
tinual abuse. AS a professional bandit
he was a poor success. He was cap
tured with the bandits In their final
flight to the dugout at Millers Station,
ind. where he was severely wounded
in the hip. In his cell at the asylum
he is experiencing again in his mind
all of his past misfortunes and mis-
treatments.

morning over two blazes. which de-
veloped there. one at 10 o'clock last
evening and the other at about eight
this morning. In both instances the
fire was put out without more than
nominal damage.
The fire originated between the cell
ing OF the basement and the floor, un-
der the offices OF Fowler and son, and
il was necessary to chop the floor in
the Fowler offices to get the water at
the blaze. 1t was reported that the
cause was over-heated steam pipes. but
this seems unlikely as steam never gets
sufficiently hot to scorch, to say any
thing of actually starting wood to
burning

deal of CONSERVATION and excitement.
