Noted in Cotton Crop-South. Caro-

Washington, Aug. decline OF
the cotton crop during July resulted;
in a reduction of 10000 bales III.
the forecast Of production issued to.
day by the Department of Agric,tl-l
ture, a total Of S,203,0O0 bales being
estimated, as compared with S,433.a.-
600 bales a month ago. The condi1
ton Of the crop declined as points.
Summarizing conditions, the de.
partment issued a statement saying:
Cotton suffered more than the
usual decline during July, being dam
aged particularly by the boil weevil,
especially in the newly invaded ter
ritory in South Carolina, eastern
Georgia, southern and eastern Okla
homa and South Arkansas. Damage
from this insect throughout the belt
has been heavy, and the threat of
continued and increased damage is
very serious. In many sections it
promises to take all new growth.
"This condition results largely
from the heavy July rainfall, which
has also leached out much of the
scanty supply of fertilizer and on
couraged a heavy growth of grass
and weeds, which is exhausting much
Of what fertilizer remains.
Farmers are unable to- give a final
dressing of fertilizer in most IN
stances, as has been the custom
Throughout most Of the beltthe pres
ent condition Of the plant isfAnprom-
ising, since it faces on the bn.e hand
the danger of drought and Son the
other hand increased damage from
the boil weevil.

RAIL COMMISSION
FIGHTING ADVANCES

Austin, Textile Texas railroad
commission is fighting to the last ditch
the last rate advance case In which
1t has been a contestant The rail-
roads succeeded in putting over their
rate increases but the American Rail-
way Express Company has not been
able to get the 1914 per cent raise
asked for last fall. After the petit
tion was refused by the Texas COM
mission appeal was taken to the In
terstate commission and there II rests.
Testimony has been taken and Chair
man Mayfield of the Texas commits
sion said this week that the case would
be contested on its merits, as the facts
and the law are different from thosel
with reference to the railroads
Originally the express company ask
ed for a 26 per cent advance in Texas.
The Texas commission allowed a 12h
per cent increase and later the express
company asked for the other 1917 per
cent, but has been unable to get 1t
thus far.
Discussing the railroad rate situa-
ton this week Chairman Mayfield for
mally Observed that with the car
riers claiming inability to make op'
Grating expenses the question of where
railroad rates are controlled is rele
gated to oblivion for the present. He
explained that they are after raises
and make showings that would for
bid reductions, therefore, it is not
whether the Texas or the interstate
commission is the arbiter of the state
rates. However, in time, he thinks
the situation may readjust itself to
where there must be specific regula
tion of state rates by state rate-mak
ing bodies. This last is overlooked
only during the period of depression
suffered by the rail lines. 1t is case
fhe said, Of the public being unable to
stand any more rate raises, and organ
ized labor unwilling to accept reduc
tions with the advent Of new condf

PANAMA-C0STA
RIGA DISPUTE
United. States Tells Panama
to Comply With White
Award.

Washington. - Secretary OF ola'e
Hughes made public Thursday the text
of the note he dispatched to fahaiiia'
virtually an ultimatum demanding I'LL,
mediate acquiescence by that repupllc
in Chief Justice Whites settlement
of the boundary dispute with COSTA
Rica.
II is the first lengthy note produceu
nv the new secretary Of state anu en-
bodies a judicial analysis OF the uiS-
mite eliminating in the conclusion
that Panama has not leg 10 slanu oh
in declining to recognize the Nnlte
award.
After calling on Panama to proceed
at once to arrange with Costa flca
for the appointment Of an engineering
commission to delimit physically the
boundary decreed by Chief Justice
White, Secretary Hughes concludIs
his note: -
"It is to be hoped that the gov@ep-
ment of Panama will recognize thk
motives of true and impartial frleIN-
ship for the governments OF PanaiEa
and Costa Rica prompt the makl3s
of these representations to the govern
ment of Panama.
"The government OF the Uniteo
States would view with apprehension
continuance of this dispute, which mas
already given rise to hostilities with
attendant loss of life, if such con-
tinuance were caused by the refusal
on the part Of the government OF Fan
ANA to carry out obligations which II
has bound itself solemnly to perform.
This government, therefore, deems II
its duty to ask that the government OF
Panama definitely indicate It's lnteh-
| tion to comply with the representa-
tions made to it by the government OF
the United States"
In taking this action the admins
tration is actuated primarily by the
desire to discharge the obligations OF
the United States arising from lts
close and special relationship to the
republic of Panama. Under the Hay
Bunau varilla treaty the United States
undertook to guarantee and maintain
the independence of Panama. To per
form this duty, Mr.. Hughes points out
it is nesessary for the United States
to advise itself Of the territorial limits
of Panama. Moreover, discharge OF
the American obligation is condition
ed upon Panama's faithful observance
of it's own international obligations
Mr.. Hughes makes it clear that there
are to be no treaty "scarps OF paper
in American affairs.

THE FUR TRADE
OF WISCONSIN


1t was the fur trade around which
the, early activities of Wisconsin used
to center. While furs and pelts were
gathered from every part of the state.
the water ronte over which southern
the Fox and Wisconsin rivers formed
and western Wisconsin and all the
territory west OF the Mississippi trans
ported its mammoth output of f1rs
and pelts. These furs represented
the seasons work of the whole In
dian tribes and countless French
Canadian trappers and hunters.
Most of these pelts gathered in the
west were first collected on the small
upland meadow, situated just north of
the mouth of the Wisconsin river,
known as Prairie du Chen, where
they were sold by score of traders
who made the meadow the chief traf-
fic site west of Detroit.
Couriers and rivermen filled canoes
and boats with the pelts that were
bought, and made slow and weari-
some passage against the currents of
the Wisconsin to the Winnebago port
age, where the present city of Port
age now stands. Here the boatmen
dragged Their canoes and other craft
across the marshy flats for a mile and
quarter to the Fox river, or later
hired them dragged or transported on
four wheeled carts drawn by oxen
Dipping the boats into the Fox, the
rivermen 1eisurely rowed, padded OF
poled their crafts through the mean
dering paths of the rice laden waters
to Green Bay.
