domestic demand. This year the carry-over is nearly back to normal proportions and crop in excess of 11,5O0,000 bales is not indicated. This means that the total supply is about equal last years figure, but the po- tential demand is greater.
 Europe has been taking between 5,0O0,O0O and 6,0O0,0O0 bales annual ly since 1913," concluded MT. Babson. "The pre-war figure was between B. 100000 and 9,000,000 bales. Europe must buy raw cotton in greater quan- tity if she is to maintain supremacy in the finished product. With the settlement of the present textile strike, domestic consumption will be higher, not lower. Theoretically there is world shortage of cotton and un- til the statistical position is corrected, condition that cannot materialize for at least another year the average price will remain as high if not high CT than the present level"
 General business according to the index figure of the Babsonchart stands at 179o below normal. This is the same as last week, and is favor able considering the serious loss suf- fered through the various great labor strikes now in progress.

 George M. Bowers and Matt Howell came in from San Francisco Wednes- day morning and have gone out to White Hills, where they will look the mining situation over. At a meeting of the miners and business men of White Hills, held in that camp on June 18th for the pur- pose of forming new mining dis trict out of Gold Basin, Judge Henry Schaefer was elected chairman and Caldwell Wright secretary. It was re- solved that a new district be formed to be known as Indian Secret, the south boundary to be at Mountain Springs, thence up the backbone of the Cerbat range to the Colorado river, along the river to Poison Springs wash; thence south to point opposite Mountain Springs, and east erly to the place of beginning. The entire district was formed from that of Gold Basin, which joined Wallapai district on the north.

more lightning in the hot months than
in the cold ones, we are likely to have
a little more static in warm weather.
THE reduction of static is process
which has its own technique and is as
much part of the game as the meet

factor in navigation. BY making more
use of the threeeleCtrode bulb, by tun-

antennae so that the loop is turned

with rotten slush; it was one of the
few spots where Wilton had not
sounded.

SYNOPSIS.-Lookin over Big

swamp in the path of the Missa-
tibi railroad, Joe Bostock, builder
of the line, and Wilton Carruthers,
chief of engineers, are considering
the difficulties. A rifle shot instant
ly kills Bostock and breaks Car
ruthers' arm. Carruthers tries to
carry the body to a post of the
Hudson's Bay company, where Nc
Donald is the factor. McDonald's
daughter, Molly, sees Carruthers
struggling in the muskeg and drags
him from the swamp; with his bur-
den. UnacCountably, her father
objects to her saving Carruthers.
Weakened by his wound and eXer-
tons, Carruthers is disturbed by
the appearance Of Tom Bowyer,
Bostock's business rival and per-
sonal enemy. Bowyer insults Mol
ly, and Carruthers strikes him.
Carruthers declares his love for
Molly. She promises to be his wife.
Carruthers has to reach the town
of Clayton to attend a meeting at
which Bostock's enemies plan to
wrest control of the Missatibi from
him. Molly goes with him. They
are delayed by a storm. Attacked

saved by Molly, who is forced to
kill the animals. The snow, the
