COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The condition
 of the crop as of Nov. 1, is given as 55:9 indicated yield F, ,816, ,000 and ginned to that date 9,694,8 These figures are about in line with popular ideas and caused but little excitement when pub lished. It is thought that the amount of cotton ginned to date is probably as great a percentage of the crop as we have ever known as a result of the fa- vorable weather. If this thought is cor rect the government estimate Is close to yield. The significant part of the market today was a distinct tendency to break away from crop estimates and government reports and to pay more at- tention to other fundamental conditions. The activity and advance in both the London and NeY York security mar kets has attracted the attention of mer- chants all over the world, who begin to realize that in all lines of trade, any sudden demand might have the same effect upon prices and for the same reasons, ,an entire absence of goods speculatively held and in many cases an absence of any goods. We have not yet seen the effect of this con- v1ction, which has only made its ap- pearance in the past few days. We are fortunate in having a supply of American cotton equal to the needs of the world at this time. A cold wave has appeared in the west, which Is of importance because it will bring a seasonable demand for winter goods and thereby assist in the expansion of trade.

GAS PLANT SHOWS
BUSINESS OF CIT Y
IS ON THE INCREASE

That business is greatly on the IN
crease in Winslow, to an extent never
before approached, is evidenced by
the records at the city gas plant. A
number of improvements have been
made at the plant within the past two
weeks to care for the increased con-
sumption of gas, among which is a
neW feed main for carrying oil to the
burners, and, one that is much more
important, regulator, or governor,
which has been tested out for two
weeks by Superintendent Bert Stein
ert. The regulator successfully keeps
the flow of gas from the plant to the
mains at a constant two-pound pres
sure during the day hours, and does
entirely away with the fluctuations in
quantity of gas in the lines which
was for SO long, a cause of much an
noyance.
Mr.. Steinert says that the regular
fall removals will this year be more
than compensated for by the addition
of meters through which great quaint
tiles of gas flow, notably the city's
two baking plants. Both of these
places will be steady customers of the
plant hereafter and in both cases the
volume of business done is greatly on
the increase, and Mr.. Steinert esti-
mates that these places alone will
more than make up for the meters
taken out at the approach of cold
weather
Besides the two baking plants be-
ing new consumers, Mr. Steinert an
nounces that the Cummings apart
ments over the Opera house will this
this winter be heated with gas, the
radiators now being installed. The
Bazell Motor company is planning to
install gas plates in 25 cottages to be
built at the Bazell camp grounds if
an extension to the main is made on
Second street. Mr.. Steinert says that
the Palace of Sweets, always a large
consumer of gas, is now using almost
twice their normal amount, and that
other users are increasing their pat

Foresters In Southwest
Study Mountain Climate

1t is the government forest research
men who put in the climb in "clim-
ate," Judging from a recent statement
of Director c. A. Pearson OF the
southwestern experiment station at
Flagstaff.
"In order to grow timber success
fully in the mountain regions OF the
west, with the varied conditions there
encountered" stated Mr. Pearson, "tt
is as important to take stock Of cli-
matte conditions under which the tim
Der must grow as it is to study the
trees themselves. One great difficulty,
however, is that few weather bureau
stations exist in the high mountains
where most of the forests are to be
found. The forester must climb to get
his own facts, for the timber lies be-
tween 5000 and II, 800 feet above sea-
level"
The southwestern forest experiment
station recently maintained six obser-
vation stations at these levels in the
San Francisco mountains, where eli
matte conditions in each distinct type
of timber were recorded for three con-
secut1ve years. Such stations require
constant attention and frequent OBJ
servations, to insure that no gap oc-
ours in any important record through
failure Of the recording instrument.
At each of the six stations mentioned
year-lOng records of air temperature,
soil temperature, and precipitation
were obtained, as well as additional
records during the summer months OF
evaporation and soil moisture.
Surprisingly consistent relations
between climate and forest trees have
been found throughout New Mexico
and Arizona" stated Mr.. Pearson. $50
intimate is the relation between ply
sical conditions and tree growth that,
after this relationship has been estab-
lished by our observations, the tree
species, or combination of species,
may be used as indicators Of the eli
matte conditions of those slopes on
which they appear, whether or no
there are any weather records avail
