ments with e "A. Doud for tract o.
Eve acres Of riparian (river 'front.'
land Just north Of his house for q cit,
. dumping ground. Mr.. Doud does MOI
charge 8 price for the land, but re
uuires the city to make 1tS own road
into it, do some fencing and provide
q small reservoir at the end Of thu
sewer line from which he can operate
an irrigation pump to lift the sewer
discharge into q ditch for watering
his land west Of the railroad tracks
Mr.. Doud's offer suits the needs of
the city very we'll and they are going
ahead with the plans to act upon It.
The Improvement committee re-
ported additional information about
the need Of new sidewalks In the
town, and said that II all the walks
were put in where needed, It would
take twenty-nine street crossings and
nine alley crossings to connect them.
This would cost the city about 325O0
and It has not enough funds.
The officers were Instructed to re-
uuire walks to be repaired where
trees have heaved the cement until
it is uneven at the Joints and max
ing It dangerous to walk on. The
same order applies to all walks
whether cement or lumber.
A request was made by the ASYLUM
management that some plan be made
by which connections can be made
between the city and the asylum
water systems for mutual aid in case
of fire or accident. The council de-
cided to act upon the suggestion and
see what could be done,
A petition from twelve resident
property holders asked for the laying
of street paving ON the cross streets
between University and Main below
court, the property owners paving
the bill for their own and for the in
tersections, but there did not seem to
be a majority of the resident owners
on the petition. The procedure for
getting pavement on this plan would
be for the city to form an Improve
ment district and issue bonds
charged against the abutting prop
erty. Nofear Davis protested on be-
half of the Mormon church property
saying they had already spent more
money than they could afford to. and |
wanted to give people a rest from
expenses till they could afford to
take on new business.
The old question OF the drainage
into the sewer came up. The sewer
is said to be overloaded already. and
every block of new paving that IL
drained into it increases the choked
condition. Councilman Clark said it
was already SO overloaded that q few
more blocks would not hurt ia much
more. Theesewer question ia coming
to such a plight that action will soon
be necessary and it might as well be

All bond Groups More Active.

More activity was shown in all bond
groups yesterday. due largely to an ac-
cumulation Of buying and selling orders
over the holiday. Price movements
were mixed. but In the main the trend
was slightly lower. Interest centred
on the action OF local traction bonds In
view Of the latest development In the
fight between city and state authorities
on the fare question A weakening Of
the traction issues apparently reflected
some dissatisfaction on the part of bond
holders because Of the Injection Of Sen
ator Johnson into the affair. INTERIOR
ough 5s were at one period OF the trad

bonds changed hands at prices ranging
from % 20 95 in contrast TO $4,000 on
Monday. when the bonds closed at 95.
Railroad bonds were active az slightly

OF the Townsend Winslow bill. Liberty

MARCH COTTON IS
DOWN TO NEW LOW
Early Liquidation and Issu.
ance of 10000 Bales of No
tices Feature Dull Market.

Aside from early liquidation of
March and issuance of about 10000
bales of notices the cotton market
was featureless yesterday. For a
short time after the opening and i'm
mediately afterward business was
active, but by the start of the second
hour things had quieted down. The
market was unsettled at the outset,
SIS points net lower on March. which
fell to a new low of 1890 to IT points
higher on distant months. which held
steady on support from local com
mission houses and foreign interests.
Liverpool cables were weak on re-
ports that mills in the Lancashire
district probably would Increase their
short time schedule. The local mar
ket was uncertain for a while follow
ing the call. but when more urgent
liquidation had been completed re-
covered easily. BY IL o'clock most
options had crossed Mondays final
bids.
According to reports current in the
'rade most of tho notices were taken
In by the firms that had issued them.
Spot interests were among the heav-
lest sellers during the forenoon. AS
business progressed the list improved
steadily until at one time in the after
noon 1t had gained 10 to % points
net, with one or two distant deliveries
relatively firm. The advance met
new professional pressure and was
partly lost, but the steadiness Of un-
dertone was maintained nevertheless.
Late business was neglected and
limited very largely TO switching and
small dealings of room traders. Re-
ports from the South continued to be
pessimistic on the spot situation In
general, one or two private des-
patches saying that more cotton was
being offered for sale by holders.
Arrivals here yesterday totalled 1859
bales, of which 1880 came from Gal
weston. Exports were light-600 bales
in all. The total for this season is
3.296.137 bales, against 4.291,617 bales
in the preceding season. The market
closed steady. n point down on March,
but to points higher on other op-
tions. Local spot was quoted un-
changed at 1920.

FAIL TO FIND MEXICAN
RULE FAVORING BRITISH
Oil DrilIers Only Required to
Establish Claims.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-In response TO
an inquiry the American Embassy at
Mexico City reported to-day to the State
Department that the Mexican Depart
men Of Industry had been quoted in
Mexico City newspapers as declaring that
applicants for permits to drill oil wells
"are only required to prove with authen-
tic documents that they own or rent the
lands on which they wish to drill" 1t
added there had been a temporary sus-
pension of action on petroleum conces-
sions in the so-called Federal zones.
The State Department had inquired of
the embassy concerning reports that the
Obregon Government had put into foroc
a provision of one of the Carranza OIL
DEGREES that permits would be granted
only to such companies as registered
their properties. which 1t was alleged
favored certain British oil interests.

growth being directed through pruning to the most productive and convenient pro portions.
 Most pruning on mature trees should consist of the removal of dead wood water sprouts and occasional superhuous branches. Greatest precaution must be taken not to injure or remove the many little crooked spurs growing along the large and small branches. for on these thick homely twigs all the apples or pears are borne. Long smooth branches. shorn of their fruit spurs. are barren until more of the little notched twigs can grow out The peach bears differently, on last years shoots.
