COTTON AT S1.O2 |S RECORD CROP
 WOMAN RAISES
Ten and One Half Bales Raised and Sold Here By Mrs. c. c. Pitrat Brings Highest Price-Is Finest Ever Grown
Long staple cotton of the Salt Rive

Long staple cottcn of the Salt River valley at S1.02 per pound
 With the dollar mark for cotton reached and passed, it remained for g woman to raise the crop which sold a, the highest price ever paid for cotton sold in the regular way and in the ordi- nary course of business.
 The Maricopa county woman who has the distinction of growing and selling this record crop of cotton is Mrs. C. C. Pitrat, and her home is on the ranch where this cotton was raised, six miles north of Phoenix and three-fourths of a mile east on Gen. tral avenue. The crop was sold to CabelI and Peek, the final transaction being made Friday and the net pro- ceeds of the cotton placed to Mrs Pitrat's credit in the bank.
 To a woman goes the distinction of raising the crop of cotton that sold for the record price, the highest previous price having been paid to Dr. A. J. Chandler, who received a little less than s1.01 per pound for his immense crop on a section of land, the entire crop bringing S1S0,000.
 Credit to Woman
 C. C. Pitrat, is a contractor and gives his entire time and attention to that business. It is upon Mrs Pitrat that the whole responsibility devolved for the raising of the crop, from the pre- pairing of the land to the final disposal of the cotton, and it is to her that the entire credit deservedIy belongs, it is declared
 This cotton was raised on 14 acres and produced a total of 19,04O pounds Of seed cotton which, when ginned, made a total of 5,247 pounds of lint cotton, or about 101s bales At the record price of S1.O2 per pound, the 5.247 pounds of lint cotton brought s5.351.94.
 From the gin came 13,517 pounds of cotton seed which was sold for SIP per ton, bringing S4S6.61, which increased the total revenue of the crop to s5.S3S.55.
 The cotton. which was baled in 10 oversize bales, tested two bales No. l, six bales No. ?, one bale No 3 and one bale No. f.
 To Encourage Care
 This cotton" said MT. Peek, of Cabell and Peek, the purchasers, twas an exceptionally fine lot of cotton and one reason for paying the highest price ever given was to encourage cot ton raising as that practiced by Mrs. I,ltrat"
 Although the past season was a backward one,' declared MT. Pitrat yesterday, Mrs. Pitrat succeeded. by careful and particular work in raising the record crop which brought the highest price ever paid for cotton.
 The very best of care was given this cotton and high prices were paid for picking to insure good clean work After ginning. the cotton was stored under shelter. The cotton was ginned at the ArioZna Egyptian Cotton com pany plant Mrs. Pitrat paid cents per pound for the picking, except at the very last when cents was paid. She insisted upon clean cotton being picked, and this had much to do with securing the high price,
 Second Crop on Land
 This was the second crop raised on this land. Last year the Pitrats raised Ia bales on the fl acres, for which 54

|ND|CT PROHIBITION AGENT 0N CHARGE
 OF WHITE SLAVERY

c. c. Cole, federal prohibition agent, was indicted on the charge of white slavery by the federal grand jury at Phoenix yesterday. Cole, who is in custody at Tucson, requested that the jury consider his case that it might be disposed of at the earliest possible moment. After the indictment was Tucson, where it vii come up before Judge Sawtelle.
 Cole, it is understood, will plead guilty to the charge. He is alleged to have been responsible for Mary Moore, a trained nurse, joining him in Tucson recently. The girl came from Maryland, and with her was a few months old baby whose percentage was not denied by the nurse nor Cole, who is a married man and the father of four children.
 The grand jury in Investigating the case is said to have called upon the federal officers familiar with the case, and in addition to considering the testimony of witnesses records were brought before the jury
 It was doubtful for several days whether or not the Phoenix jury would consider the case. It was first inti- mated that it would, Cole having agreed to plead guilty should an in dictment be returned against him. Government counsel agreed. Cole then changed his mind, it is said and the government counsel also had change of heart and refused to have the mater come up at this time Eventually there was another whole sale change in the attitude of those concerned, IS demonstrated by the in dictment found by the Phoenix grand jury.
