COTTON MARKET
 DECIDEDLY QUIET
Holiday On New York Market Causes Un-
 usual Dullness

NEW ORLEANS. May 30.-The cot- ton market was decidedly quiet today owing to the solid day prevailing in New York and in so many other impor- tant markets in the country. The trend of prices was upward from the start. July opened at 29.63c, October 25.S3c and December at 25,55c or 2 to s points above the previous close. From these, the low points of the day, July ad- vanced at 29.s6c, October to 26.07c and The close was near the top showing net gains for the day of 23 to 27 points.
 Trading was very light owing to the holiday. Had 1t not been previously believed that the market would advance more than it did the general trend was unmistakably upward. Owing to the national character of the holiday there was no weather map, consequently de- pendent on private reports of the wealth CT. An official forecast, however. was issued for the western belt.
 Numerous telegrams were received re- porting rains in practically every part of Texas with decidedly cold weather. The rains were heavy in that state and at some points the precipitation ranged from to Il inches. Reports were also received of cold rains in north Louis- jana and in Mississippi indicating that the wet spell is moving eastward ac- companied by a fall in temperature.
 Weekly statistics were mixed. Mill takings were disappointing, totaling only l5S,000 bales against 197, a year ago. The visible supply also decreased less than during the corresponding week last year, but exports continued to run ahead of last season. Expectation of a bullish government condition report on Monday was again a sustaining influ- ence. The trade is looking for a con- dition average between 66 and 67 per cent.

COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, May 30.-Cltpatic developments inland dominated the cot ton market today. Rather general rains occurred in Texas. heavy in many sec tons, excessive in localities of south portion. and there was more rain in districts of the Mississippi Valley States, but less rain in the South Att lanfic region Accordingly. Liverpool advanced as did New Orleans. due to shorts covering on the unfAvorahle weather, but the rising tendency was checked by spinners takings of Amer ican cotton for week. showing less than last year. 15s.0O0 Ys- 1S7 !000. As to the future of the market. 1t ts too early to take decided stand. as with good we lther from now on. a marked im- provement in the condition of the crop could take place whereas contfnuance of unfavorable weather would be det- rimehtal. Therefore, much will depend on weather during June. As a rule June is generally a good crop month Sometimes. however. it Is not as good as ff should be, causing in some in- stances slight deterioration All that can be said of present situation is that the acreage win likely be large perhaps largest on record, that the plant has a late start and that possible damage by insects has to be reckoned with--H- & B. Beer to J. F. Willing ham q Co.
 NEW ORLEANS. May S0.-Tradins in cotton was rather light today ow- ing to the absence of many traders as result of the holiday in New York. but values were on the upgrade and ended with a fair sized advance Had the market been broader the up ward movement would likely have been more substantial owing to unfavorable weather conditions in the west and the large number of unfavOrable reports received from Texas The map was not posted owing to the holiday in the gov ernment office, but there was literally a flood of telegrams from Texas tell ing of heavy cold rains from one end of the state to the other. The takings were disappointing small this week, 15s. 900 vs. 1s7.000, but the exports move ment continues well ahead of a year ago. Some observers think the recent advance has discounted a condition as low as 66, but the public Is likely to accept such an estimate as buIlish in view of the unfaworable weather of the past few days--Fenner & Beane to h .hn & virgin-.

Prospectors and claim own
 CTS of the Texas creek sect ton and the Chickamin River
 district have petitioned the Bu- reau of Public Roads for the construction of a wagon road to open up that heretofore all but inaccessible district.
 The petition, signed by prae- tically all owners of claims in the section mentioned who
 are now in the district, outlines the situation and the imper- ative need for an avenue of transportation to the new dis trict in the following terms:
 Tt has been sufficiently dem lonstrated that this country needs only roads to make it one !of the big producers of the Ter ritory. The work done last year has proved this. There are thousands of tons of good ship ping ore in sight now, which, in order to be developed, must
 have means of transportation.
 We respectfully ask that your department do all in it's power
 to have this work done, and at the earliest possible date.
 The Forest Service did good work in constructing the fool trail up Texas creek and down the Chickamin river and en- abled prospectors to get into the district and credit for the discoveries made is due to q large extent to that improve
 ment. A foot trail, however, IS not sufficient and now that this highly mineralized area has shown its possibilities it

INDIAN EMPLOYEE
 KILLED BY TREE

Dan Mcleod, a.. anrloyee of the Indian, aged about 8S was fatally injured by a falling tree branch near the mine last Tuesday afternoon and died in the Premier mine hospital the following morning.
 Mcleod, with another man, was engaged in felling 8 tree Iclose to .the mine, when a rot ted limb, dislodged by the chopping below, broke and fell to the ground, striking the unfortunate man on the back of the head, fracturing the skull. Mcleod is said to have seen the broken branch fall but owing to deep snow sur- ronding the tree could not es- cape the impending blow. He was taken at once to the Pre- mier hospital, where Dr. Car son, mine physician, and Dr. Williams, who was summoned i. om Stewart, did all that was possible. As far as could be learned the deceased has no known relatives. He had been , resident of the district for several years and formerly worked at the Premier.

 l Competent authority indicates that there are no great diff
 entities to be encountered in ItEe constructiop of a wagon
 road over this disthnce and 1 at a cost not excessive. The con
 struction proposed will have an immediate effect in the pro-
 duction and shipment of large quantities of ore within a year from fits inception, as the min-

 You are therefore respectful ly urged to give this matter your attention and thereby facilitate the opening of a very rich section to immediate ex- lploitation."

In order to determine the av- ailability of radio communicat- ion in mine rescue work, inter- esting experiments were re- gently conducted in the under ground workings of the Hecla Mining Company at Wallace, Idaho. The experiments were in charge of a group of radio enthusiasts and were attempt ed at the invitation of Pres ident James F. Mccarthy ol the mining company. The ex- perimenters were dropped 4,600 feet below the surface in the Star crosscut, which IS being run from the 2,000 fool level. The party later annouIl- ced that they heard radio mes sages faintly which were sent to them from the surface.
