MARKET REVIEW

Houston. Tex Aug. 6.-The cotton
trade this year vii lsee the greatest Tex
as production Of long staple cotton i'll
its history. For the past two years many
South Texas planters have been expert
menting with the long staple and have
found it can be Successfully grown while
it insurcs a sale at - cents per pound
and over. i"
a striking example Of its success is
evidenced in Fort Bend county. Last year
about 20 bales Of long staple were pro
duced. This Year it is estimated the
county will produce 1000 bales. In other
sctiOns of the coast country long staple
IS replacing the short fibre and if the per
centage Of increases continues the next
few years will find the coast country of
Texas producing more long staple cotton
than short.
There is one feature of long staple
cotton raised that must be followed and
that is to pick the cotton clean. Dirty
long staple cotton does not command a
high prices as long staple cotton is used
only FIR high grade fabrics and it must
be clean.
The latest government report shows a
decline in the condition of the cotton crop
The figures show the crop to be 1916 per
cent of a normal. Il decline of % per cent
in Il month. Texas shows a decline of )
per cent. which is due directly to the lack
of beneficial rains. This is the lowest
estimate for Texas in three years at
this time of the year being 81 for this
year. 81 for 1913 and IS for 1911.
General trade throughout South eTXas
shows a SeasOnable dullness, although
preparations are being made for a heavy
fall trade and the outlook is considered
good.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1913-05-15

We are not here simply be- cause We are here, but for the reason that after an absence of fifteen years we find longing to return to the scenes of that pleasant long ago, and meet again the many old friends and acquaintances who were the builders and support of Wran- gell. We meet many old-timers as we walk about the town-good friends of times past. and meet ing them brings to our mind the names and faces of many of the good old pioneers who have been called to their reward.
 The "noblest Roman of them ah," Col. Crittenden, has passed on and We speak of him with reverence, for he was our friend. No more so, possibly, than were Duncan Mckinnon, Rufus Syl- vester. Bob" Reid, Thos. Will son and others whose names have left us at this time. May their memories be cherished as long as time lasts, for they were the trail blazers for those who have followed, who are now reaping the harvests from the sowing of these pioneers.
 Wrangell, notwithstanding her almost utter destruction by fire a few yeara since, has recovered and is forging ahead and seems destined to become one of Alas ka's busiest marts. Her citizens are wide awake and alert, and to talk with any one of them is enough to put the smile of opti- mism upon the pessimistic face of a Juneau totem.
 After an absence of fifteen years we are glad to return and boost for Wran gell.

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT.

With tnlS Issue OI the Oenllnel H. F. Dawes steps down and out, the undersigned having bought the paper. For the time being at least T. R. Needham will be in charge of the Sentinel, and for him I bespeak the friendship and assistance of Wrangellites to make the paper a fitting repre- sentative of the town and it's people, for without such no newspaperman can do himself, his paper, or his town justice.
 Mir. Needham is no "chee- chaco," having spent the greater part of the past nineteen years in the territory, and is known to practically all the old timers of the town as the founder of Wrangell's earliest paper. The Stikiue River Journal, which first saw the light in the boom days of '98.
 With her wonderful timber re- sources attracting the attention of the sawmillmen and pulp man. ufacturers of the northern Pa cifc coast; her fishing possibili- ties second to none on earth, and the gold regions of Silver Creek, Johnson Creek, the O'Donnell river, Deese Lake and the rest, the last chance for the prospec- tor left on the American conti- nent. lying at her very back door, Wrangell's immediate future shines brighter to-day than ever before in her history. In the de- velopment of that future the To- cal paper is bound to be more or less of a factor-more, if towns folks join with the management in the building of a bigger, bet ter paper; less, if they fail to do their share.
 A newspaperman is naturally .booster-he wouldn't be in the usiness if he were not, and as a lle it is only after repeated re- uffs by those who should do
 se that he finally decides
 down on the job and let
 rip" So it is, that say,
 t as much or more rests with
 e people of Wrangell as with +Ar. Needham in the kind of a paper he produces. He will do his share, the rest is up to you.
 Respectfully,
 RICHARD EUSHELL. Jr.
