SOME COTTON
 FIGURES HERE
Astonishing Revelation of Importance in Actual Cash of Egyptian Cotton Gull ture Shown in New U. $. D. A. Bulletin

While much has been written and printed about Egyptian Cotton, since Salt River valley became the Arizona Dixie, the staggering figures of the actual value os the crop have never vet been so forcefully represented as in bulletin of the department of agriculture, just issued, copies of which are to be had at the chamber of commerce.
 Item: Paid to cotton pickers in Salt River valley. 1914. $15O,O00.
 Something interesting in that The figure represents wages-money dis tributed to many individuals. there fore, money that got into circulation, and which came from the outside.
 Without such definite government figures for 1915, the bulletin goes pretty deeply into the data on years preceding that year, years during which Salt River valley absorbed practically all American interest in the raising of Egyptian cotton. So completely has this valley taken over the task of producing this variety of cotton, that the government bulletin ! iecoSHAzeS no otHer source oI supFly. It mentions a small production at Tncson. but so small that no data are included in the tabulations from that section.
 Ideal conditions, far surpassing those of the Nile valley, where the cotton originated. are responsible for Salt River valleys gradual but total absorption of this industry in the American continent.

Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite.

Instead of an ax and saw to remove the tops of trees that are to be used as masts in logging operations, dyna- mite is used to shoot off the tops. After the branches have been removed, a rigger climbs the tree, with set of irons, to the point where 1t is neces- sary to cut off the top. Here the trunk is usually about 12 inches in diame- ter. The rigger ties string of dyna- mite cartridges. fastened end to end like sausages, around the trunk at this point, inserts blasting cap with about 20 feet of fuse in one of these sticks, lights the end of the fuse, and de- scends before the explosion takes place. The tree top pumps into the air with the explosion and the trunk is left ready for attaching the rigging for dragging in and loading the logs. Engineering Record.

"The Old General" as the states revenue fund is known to state off cials and employees, suffered a relapse when the November salary warrants began coming to the treasury. Long before the office closed for the day it was totally exhausted. Approximate ly $25,OOO was paid out. This includ- ed the balance of S18,500 in the fund yesterday morning, $5,411 inheritance tax paid in by the attorney generals office, and approximately $1,000 paid in fees by other offices. All officials and employees at the state capitol and most of them in the institutions at Little Rock were able to cash their salaries. About $12,000 in warrants was left outstanding.

BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL ASK LEGISLATURE TO PRESS BILL
 APPROPRiATING $50,ooo.
MANY ARE OPPOSED TO BILL
It Is Said Many of the Most Prominent Educators in Arkansas Will Make Every Effort to Secure It's
 Passage.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 The state board of education will re- new it's efforts during the coming Leg islature to pass the bill appropriating $50,000 to aid the high schools of the state. Four years ago the Legislature, by practically unanimous vote, gave the high schools that amount of money, which was expended under the direction and supervision of the board. It caused much dissatisfaction among the rural school districts, and the last Legislature defeated similar meas ure. Several senators who were mem bers of the last State Senate, and will occupy seats in the coming Legisla- ture as holdovers, voted against the proposition two years ago, and say they are still opposed to It. They con- tend that the money should be distrib- uted among the rural schools of the state. number of the most promi- nent educators in Arkansas, however, will make every effort to secure the passage of the bill by the coming Leg islature. Gov Brough, it is said, will recommend it's passage in his inaugur- al address, Friends of Gov. Brough say he will devote more attention to the discussion of educational matters in his address than any other gov ernor Arkansas has had. He being an educator himself, and being we'll ad- vised as to the wants and needs of the schools of Arkansas, he is in a posi- ton to render the state great ser vice along educational lines, some thing badly in need of in this section of the country. It was largely through Gov Brough's efforts that the people in the recent election voted to in- crease the school tax from to- 12 mills. Gov. Brough advocated the adoption of the amendment from near ly every stump in Arkansas during the past year. He will have the united support of nearly every teacher -fff ia Ar 4 r. kansas in his efforts to promote the cause of education in this state.

The chief revenue has been from the sale of cotton and seed. About s5,000 worth of potatoes and $1,O00 worth of hogs were sold during the year.

uldJc lue expenditure O1 money i'll c.GC- tions may seem to be less necessary than the immediate enactment of the other measurds to which 1 refer; be- cause at least two years will elapse before another election in which fed eral offices are to be filled but it would greatly relieve the public mind if this important matter were dealt with while the circumstances and the dan gers to the public morals of the pres ent method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand clear under re- cent observation and the methods of expenditure can be frankly studied in the light of present experience; and rious disadvantage of postponing ac- tion until another election was at hand and some special object connected with it might be thought to be in the mind of those who urged it. Action can be taken now with facts for guidance and without suspicion of partisan purpose.
 I shall not argue at length the desir- ability of giving a freer hand in the matter of combined and concerted eff fort to those who shall undertake the essential enterprise of building up our export trade. That enterprise will presently, will immediately assume, has indeed already assumed, a magni- tude unprecedented in our experience. We have not the necessary instrument talities for it's prosecution; it is deemed to be doubtful whether they could be created upon an adequate scale under our present laws. We should clear away all legal obstacles and create a basis of undoubted law for 1t which will give freedom without permitting unregulated license. The thing must be done now, because the opportunity is here and may escape us if we hesitate or delay.
 Porto Rico's Needs.
 The argument for the proposed amendments of the organic law of Por- to Rico is brief and conclusive. The present laws governing the island and regulating the rights and privileges of it's people are not just. We have ere ated expectations of extended privi- lege which we have not satisfied. There is uneasiness among the people of the island and even suspicious doubt with regard to our intentions concerning them which the adoption of the pending measure would happily re- move. We do not doubt what we wish to do in any essential particular. We ought to do it at once.
 There are other matters already ad- vanced to the stage of conference be- tween the two houses of which it is not necessary that 1 should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement concerning them will no doubt be found and action taken upon them.
 Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, prob ably the last occasion I shall have to address the Sixty-fourth congress, l hope that you will permit me to say with what genuine pleasure and satis- faction have co-operated with you in the many measures of constructive pol icy with which you have enriched the legislative annals of the country. It has been privilege to labor in such company. 1 take the liberty of con- graduating you upon the completion of a record of rare servieeableness and distinction.
