When men like Mr. Ernest Moore OF
Moccow, Ala, step to the front and say
that he feels like new man from the use
of Ferraline, 1t certainly proves the COM
pany's claims: that Ferraline will cure
any case of Indigestion or stomach
trouble on earth, for all that know Mr..
Moore know full well that he will not
make any statement that is not true. and
they know that his word is as good as
his check, which is good for any amount
that he cares to write. -

CATALINA ISLAND
Famous Chewing Gum Man Plans 10
Make California Island Greatest
Resort In the World

Los Angeles, cal, March W.-(Speciai)
One of the biggest real estate deals ever
put over in California is now an assured
fact and details can be furnished.
William Wrigley, Jr., manufacturer or
the famous "Wrigleys Spearmint," one
of the chief stockholders in the Chicago
"Cubs'' ball team and an officer and
director in total of Is enterprises in va
rious parts of the United States. is the
head and controlling interest in COM
pany which has taken over Santa Cata-
100000 and several millions more will
be spent to make the island the great
show place of the Pacific coast.
Included in the transfer are practically
all of the As, 900 acres of the island, the
new $4,000 Ste. Catherine hotel and it's
appurtenances, 10000 head of sheep, two
large steamers which ply between San
Pedro and the island, a fleet of glass
bottom power boats and other property
of the Santa Catalina Island company.
I'VE intend to make Santa Catalina
island the greatest summer and winter
resort in America" said Mr.. Wrigley.
Development will progress as rapidly
as possible and when business warrants
we will put on more steamers. There is
room for 100000 new cottages on the
island and a second new hotel is pro-
jected for early completion. 1t is my plan
to make this gem of the Pacific a resort
of such attractiveness that it will be the
mecca for visitors from all parts Of the
country
There are many unique features found
at Catalina" as the island is called
locally. In one vast expanse are the
frames of $50 tent cottages which in sum
mer are covered with canvas, furnished
completely and rented by the day or week
Just as hotel rooms are rented. This is
the famous Island Villa. Another sum-
mer settlement is made up of hundreds
of tents completely furnished for house
keeping.
The glass bottomed power boats, al
ready mentioned make daily trips over
the Marine Gardens-through these boats
the visitor gets such sights of great
ocean world of vegetation and fish as can
be had nowhere else. Here is a realm
peopled with brilliantly colored inhabi-
tants swimming through forests of feath-
cry verdure. Huge tree-like ferns waver
and bend with the motion of the water.
Great stalks of kelp touch the bottom
of the boat From the strange 'sea-cu-
cumber'' that clings to the ocean floor
and is said to be one of the lowest forms
of animal life, to giant tuna fish and sea
pass, winch are the deHsht OF sportsineh
the range of species, size and appearance
of these creatures Of the deep Is utterly
astounding
Above water are scores of seal, some
of them weighing a ton. summing them
selves and their young on the racks. The
bald-headed eagle perches himself on a
crag and haughtily surveys the scene
while a flock of stormy petrol scurry
away before the, boats advance. Yonder
on a cliff some mountain goats enjoy the
scenery and heritage. over and above all
are the bluest of skies, reflected in the
depths of the deep blue sea

Over S. r. Stewart & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, March 20.-Today's
census report showing 11,sss.12S run
ming bales, brings no change in tie
basis on which market calculations
have been based Statistics through
out the season have pointed to crop
about 100000 larger than last years.

publication of the report, and carried
prices about 80 points higher from
slightly lower starting level

the advice. from the shipping boalt
that two boats had been allotted 10
New Orleans for April loading, and
news from spot quarters that moi
business was done last night at full
quotations, with some demand for low
er grades. believed to be for Italy.
The map shows extremes of pressure,
suggesting unsettled, rainy weather
for the lower part of the belt, and
probably cold wave Tor the east
ern states.
The market eased off after the first
demand was satisfied, advices from
New York being against it, probably On
disappointment that the census did not
show larger and give the expected COW
ering opportunity, but chances seem
that a better spot demand and the bad
weather now coming on the belt will
cause a return to strength in the mar
ket.
However. the professional element
did sell on the ginning reports, but
covered early in the day. There was
absence of support and the market in
the late trading sagged. 1t is gen.
orally known that there will be a lib
eraI carry-over and the addition Of
one or two hundred thousand bales
does not cut much figure.
After opening from Q up on May to

market ranged within limit of SIS 70
