PLACER MINING LAWS OF YUKON TERRITORY
 MAY BE AMENDED

DAWSON, Y. T., May 13- Amend ment of the Dominion placer mining laws for Yukon Territory, to permit extensive prospecting of low-grade placer creeks and valleys, for the pur- pose of introducing dredging compan- ies to extend their operations, vii! be asked of the Dominion government by the Yukon Development League, it was decided recently.
 Several large dredging companies have worked out their original ground and may cease operations unless low grade placers may be secured, it was said.
 The league, which is composed ct miners and business men, will also ask the government to abolish the present royalty on gold. Those behind the movement claim that gold has lost half its purchasing power and gold mining is the only industry which may not increase the price of it's products

REBELS GAIN
PHILIPPINE SUGAR
 CROP LARGE ONf

MANILA, r. l. May l3- Inc Su- gar crop of 1919-l920 in the Philippine Islands, now being harvested, ag- greates 225,000 tons for export, and between 75,OO0 and 100000 tons for hom consumption, according to figures compiled by chambers of commerce, and manufacturers and exports.
 Centrifugal sugar, 96 per cent pure, forms only a small percentage of the production of the islands, the bulk of the sugar produced being muscavados, in which large percentage of molas- Ses remains after being produced by the open boiler process.
 Out of the 225,00O tons estimated available for export this year 75,OO0 tons are centrifugals and l50,000 mus cavados. Practically none of the latter variety is exported to the United Stat cs, China, and Japan taking the most of it.
 Growers and manufacturers, how ever, predict that within short time the ratio of centrifugals to musca- vados will be reversed, by reason of tie modern methods of manufacture being introduced.
 There are at present twenty sugar centrals in operation in the Philip pines, and eight others are under con stluction or are planned for immediate development.
 The labor problem is becoming ser iouS, according to producers and manufacture Many of the natives have left tho island. Some have gone to the Alaska fish canneries, others have taken up seafaring life, while q number have migrated to the Ha- waiian sugar fields.
 The tractor has replaced the caraboo in some localities. Producers and manufacturers assert that double the present output could be cared for, if supply of common labor could be obtained to plant and harvest the cane.
 Efforts are being made to induce the government to render assistance along the line of more intensive cul- tivation of the soil. According to sta tistics, the yield per acre has been stationary for many years, as little more than three quarters of a ton, while in some cane producing count ries five tons an acre are obtained.
 In the island of Formosa under Japanese methods of intensive cultiva- ton, yield of one and a half tons an acre is obtained, and growers claim that the soil and climatic conditions there are inferior to those in the Philippines.
 While figures on local consumption of sugar are not given as exact, var ious authorities place the suantity at between 15 pounds per capita in the United States.
 "The introduction of 50000 Chinese into the sugar industry of the Philip pines, would, through the application of more intensive methods of agricul- ture, which are not possible under ex- isting conditions, double the present sugar production from the area at present under cultivation for cane," said George H. Fairchild, a large ex- norter, in a review of the sugar situa- ton. published in the April Bulletin of the Philippine Chamber of Com merce.

COTTON CENTERS
IS CRITICISED
Sentiment in Arkansas Is.
Running Strongly Against
Night Riders and Their
Many Acts of Violence.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 10
Responsible sentiment in this
state is running strongly against
right riding which has been up-
dertaken in this and other cotton
growing states to prevent the
ginning and marketing of cotton
at the present low price. Repre-
sentative planters, bankers and
business men feel strongly that
this lawlessness is giving the
south a "black eye"
At a recent meeting of the Ar
kansas division of the American
Cotton association here, nightrid-
ing was condemned as an act of
gross ignorance. Governor DrouEh
has taken vigorous stand
against night riding and he has
had further support among oth-
ers, from Claude Fitzpatrick,
president of the Arkansas Bank
ers' association. All the forces of
the state and local governments
in Arkansas are now cooperating
TO prevent further lawlessness in
the cotton ginning centers.
This counter movement il be
lieved to be doing much TO stop
the activities of nightriders. Mass
meetings have been held in many
towns and the cooperation Of tho
citizens has been proffered Off
GERS in maintaining order.
Acts of violence for which
nightriders have been given cred
il in Arkansas have taken various
forms. In addition the burning
of gins, warehouses and other
property, farmers who attempted
TO market their cotton have been
threatened with death or severe
punishment, and in some cases
have been badly maltreated Ne
gro families have been intim-
idated and driven from their
homes because they sought era
ployment or worked rs cotton
r.ckars. Hundreds of cotton gins
in various sections of the state
have been posted with warnings
against continuing to buy and GIN
cotton. the threatened penalties
for not needing the warning in
Guiding destruction of the plants
and forfeiture Of the lives of the
owners.
In one county eight men are
now awaiting action of the grand
| fury on charge of setting IRE
to a ginnery, and in another sec

farmers have been sentenced to a
