OUTLOOK
BY UNIVERSAL
COOPERATION
FRUIT GROWERS IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA ARE FORTIFIED
AGAINST FROST.

j. F. Ford, general agent of the
Tonopah & Tidewater railroad, with
offices in Los Angeles, is visiting
Tonopah for the purpose Of getting
better acquainted with local shippers.
He is accompanied by David Aspland,
and is very much impressed with the
appearance of business in the camp.
Speaking of crop conditions and
prospects of frost in southern Cali
fornia, Mr. Ford said the crop this
year would be so per cent of normal
and that steps had been taken to
prevent repetition of the heavy
losses sustained by frost last year.
The citrus belt has been divided and
subdivided and planted with smudge
pots at the ratio of about one for
every two trees. Night riders are
paid to patrol the colder area, where
frost effects would be felt first.
These men travel over a large dis
trict on motorcycles and. when the
mercury drops to the danger point
they call up a district superintendent
who, in turn notifies a foreman. This
man warns the farmer and each
farmer is responsible for putting a
certain number of men in the field
Through this system the country is
covered rapidly and the smudge fires
are started almost simultaneously
reducing the chance of loss to a
minimum

SMITH REFORMS
IN COTTON WIN
EASY VICTORY
New York. Exchange Frightened
Into Voluntarily Adopting
Threatened Changes.

NEW YORK. Oct. Enlightened
by the recent Congressional agitation
against trading in cotton futures, the
New York Cotton Exchange has
bowed to the inevitable and now plans
TO make voluntary reforms which viii
have practically the same effect as
the bill which Senator Hoke Smith,
Of Georgia, and Representative Oscar
Underwood, of Alabama, came near
making law.
Congress, at the last moment before
passing the tariff bill. dropped the
amendment regulating the cotton ex-
changes, but it was evident such a
measure would pass almost without
opposition at the next session. Now
the New York Exchange will do it's
own housekeeping, hoping, of course,
that such action win prevent any fur
Their lawmaking.
Leopold Bache, of j.. s. Bache & Co,
one of the board of governors, states
frankly that the exchange hopes to
disarm all criticism by reforming the
methods of handling business the
grades recognized by New York con-
tracts, and the method of settling
grade differentials.
b. He says the exchange can not adopt
the Government grades because they
are based ION Gulf cotton, and make
no recognition of the upland types
grown in Georgia and other South
eastern States. He believes, how
ever, that grades can be adopted
which will please all concerned.
Seven members of the exchange
have been appointed a committee TO
go into the entire question and re-
port not later than October 20, to a
special meeting of the board of gov
ernoTs.
Years OF protest from all the cotton
growing States, the English and New
England spinners and all consumers
of actual cotton against the unfair
New York contract awaited nothing.
Then Senator Clarke of Arkansas,
introduced a bill in Congress which
would have wiped out all the cotton
exchanges. This was defeated when
Senator Hoke Smith presented his
substitute, which would have hit only
at the New York exchange. With
some changes made by Oscar Under
wood this amendment is acceptable
~ Congress and to all the cotton
trade except New York.
Before all this pressure the ex-
change had to give way.

ROOF FALLS AS
LAST BOARDER
FLEES FIRE
Occupants of Hunter Street
House Barely Escape Death,
Firemen Painfully Burned.

Occupants of Mrs. Sarah Freeman's
boarding house at No 2s1 East Hunt
er street narrowly escaped death in a
fire which destroyed the upper story
of, the building Thursday morning,
and were forced to fee into the street
clad in their night clothes. One fire.
man was hurt in fighting the flames.
The fire was discovered at 2 o'clock
by Mrs. Olive McAllister, a daughter
OF Mrs. Freeman. She was awakened
by the cracking of the flames. The
whole roof was ablaze and the fire
was eating into the bedroom.
She awakened her husband and the
two aroused the other occupants. Just
as the last person left the house the
roof collapsed.
Fireman Jasper Tumlin, of No. 10
company, was burned about the hands
and arms when he fell through the
roof He was forced to grasp a hot
gas pipe to save himself from a mo, e
serious fall
The contents of the top story of the
house were destroyed and the lower
floor was badly damaged by water.
The fire is thought to have been
caught by rats igniting loose matches
in a closet
