in the poorhouse today.
Built 43 years ago for the King

sold for $2450, ending the cruise
of party of British adventures
who started out to sail around the

crew was unabl to meet the debts.
The crew, which started out from

Hertei says there's no secret to
it except to keep right on the job

There are numerous other chrys-

Local Hotel is
Finest in i. s.
For Its Size"

A. L. Barnard, well known for
his 20 years connection with the
Western Hotel Reporter of San
Francisco, is in Ell Centro for q
short stay. Barnard, who is staying
at the Barbara Worth hotel, is Il
personal friend of w. A. Conway,
and is enthusiastic over the change
wrought in this section of the coun-
try since his last visit Is years ago.
At that time, he declares, Ell Cen
tro, was little more than a jumping
off place on the desert, and he par
ticularly stresses the surprise one
feels after crossing the barren de-
sert and finding hotel like the
Barbara Worth. He declares that
he considers it the finest hotel in
the country for its size.
Barnard s particular vocation in
life is travelling throughout the
country and writing of hotels and
business conditions as he finds them
in different cities he visits. From
here, he goes back to San Diego,
thence to Florida and Cuba, and
next June starts on two-year
tour of the Orient.
He came south for,the opening of
the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles
and states that many of the promi
nent hotel men, gathered there from
the four points of the compass,
were of the opinion that the Bilt-
more is absolutely the finest hotel
in America today.

VALLEY COTTON
BROKERS CLAIM
4OC PRICE SOON
Next Years Prices High
er Than This Year Is
Prediction

/The T. J. West Company, cotton
brokers with offices in Phoenix
and Calexico, have just issued their
weekly resume on the cotton situa-
ton in which they freely predict
that cotton prices will soar to the
40 cent level after the final esti-
mate of crop production7 is released
by the census bureau On December
l..
The report follows in full.
The census bureau S ginning fig
ures issued yesterday showing but
s,36S,S63 bales of cotton ginned to
November IA, were the cause of n
further advance in prices, all months
with exception of January and
July crossing the 35 cent mark.
These figures compare with s,s69,S57
bales ginned to the same date last
year, which figures represented SO
per cent of the total outturn last
year. If the same ratio holds good
this year the final ginnings will be
around 100000 or nearly a million
bales below the government s last
estimate.
With less than 9,500,000 bales this
year and the earryover from last
year of 2,500,000 bales there is
available but 100000 bales of
American cotton to satisfy a de-
mand of nearly 13,000,000 bales.
The exports for the first three
months of this cotton year were
1,715,572 as against l,440,S62 for
1922. The exports and consump
tion for the first three months
amounted to more than 3,200,000
bales or at the rate of 12,S00,000
bales for the year. Before the new
cotton crop comes in the weaker
mills of the country will find it
necessary to close down for lack
of material.
OF our exports of 1,715,572 bales,
more than 25 per cent, or 440,1 ,144
bales went to Germany as against
347 800 bales last year, and Japan,
despite the catastrophe of several
ago, has taken 207,0sS bales
as against 157,27s last year. The
exports to France were proportion
ately large.
Next Year Good, Too
With the carryover to be COM
pletely wiped out by August first,
next, the early cotton next season
should sell at big premium over
October prices, and the early cot
ton on the market be of the most
benefit to the grower. There will
be no large crop next year to de-
press prices unless some method is
overnight, so to speak, to
fight the boil weevil. The short
crop of 1921 was said to have been
an accident, the short crop of 1922
was considered coincident, but
this crop of 1928, the third success
sive short crop is getting to be a
habit that viii continue until the
boil weevil is eliminated. Next
years prices will no doubt be high
er than those of this season.
We look for the market to hest
tate around present price levels un
til after the final estimate of crop
outturn, which will be released by
the census bureau on December II,
when we look for cotton prices to
continue their upward march to
the 40 cent level.
