= GINS ARE BUSY
All Hands Employed As Cotton Croy
Comes In.

Cuero, Tex, Aug. 1.-THE fall
rush is in full swing here now and the
Cuero compress and Cuero oil mill
have added their $3.50 weekly pay
rolls to the cash circulation. Receipts
are reaching the gins in wagon trains
and all hands are busy. Pickers are
scarce but many farmers have their
own Dickers and the movement TO get
out the cotton crop is in full sway.
The three local gins are all large
and well equipped and seldom operate
at night except that sometimes they
may be until 8 or 10 o'clock getting
through with the days receipts. The
crop here is regarded as light, but
the price of % cents is enabling the
farmers TO make good Roadway in
Strengthening out annual accounts and
already the bank deposits are begin
ming to bulge, where heretofore they
have inclined toward sagging.

 SHIP SUBSIDIES
 ON NOME ROUTES
No Responses Received to Calls for Bids-New Calls
 May Be Issued.

IA total lack of response greeted the call for bids by Governor Bone for the Territorial subsidy offered to vessels between Nome and Kotzebue and Nome and St. Michael, according 40 a statement made by him today Calls for bids have been published for several weeks both in Seattle ant Nome. announcing the conditions te he met to secure a subsidy and set ting today as the time for opening all bids.
 "Only one bid was received and that was withdrawn later by tele graph" said the Governor. The en yelope containing the bid was re' turned to the bidder, at his request unopened.
 Further efforts will be made to se- cure vessels for the two runs. either by a new call for bids or under cor tract which will meet the conditions of the subsidy act. Owing to the late ness of the season. however, 1t Is virtually certain that no extended call for bids will again be published.
 Under the provisions of Chapter AT, of the laws of the last sess.ea S17.000 is available for subsidies on the two routes during the current biennium Ten thousand of this is provided for the Nome e-Kotzobue run and $7,000 for Nome to St. Michael.
