COTTON TO GO HIGHER PBICE
The condition of the cotton crop
as shown by the government report
issued Thursday was about as was
expected by the cotton factors of the
country, yet it caused a gain in price
of about 80 cents a bale.
i he market has been very bullish
for several days owing to the antici-
pated unfavorable crop reports, the
price having gone up within a week
about $1.50 per bale. The official cen-
sus report shows the average condi-
tion of the crop about ten points be-
low the general average for the last
ten years.
By cotton men and people who
have traveled over the cotton belt re-
cently and observed the conditions
personally the prediction is freely
made that a good part of this seasons
crop will bring 15 cents a pound.
Officials of the farmer's union have
contended for a month that the cen-
sus report issued today would show
the condition far below normal and
have predicted all along that the
price would reach 15 cents before the
season is over.

CATTLEMEN APPEAL CASE.
Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 8.—The war
being waged by Lincoln county cat-
tlemen against the county officials of
that county and the state board of
'agriculture in their action in cleaning
up the county from the Texas fev
tick by means of township dipping
vats and «hc use of additional liv
stock inspectors today reached the
supreme court when the injunction
suit filed by C. C. Beaver and othe
cattlemen against the county commi
sioners and the live stock inspectors
of both the county and the state was
appealed to the supreme court. Judge
Roberson at Chandler recently dis
solved the temporary injunction se
cured by the cattlemen and held
against the cattlemen in their con
tention that this work could not be
carried on until a petition had been
filed asking for the state and county
to take such action.

TRAP? HAS NEW ROLES.
Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 8.—State Au-
ditor M. I*., 1 rapp lias prepared an
elaborate >ct of rules in regard to

proved by the head of the depar;-
nient -from whose apropriation the
money i- to be drawn. Salary claims
can not be sworn to until the la>t
day of the month for which the sal-
ary is drawn. \ ouchers for expenses
are required to be itemized, although
Auditor Trapp JToes not go so far as
to insist ou receipts for all items of
expenses as has been done in Kan-
sas and several states. After several
years experience "on the road" he
considers that idea impracticable and
says that when big commercial in-
stitutions do not require it in their
private business, the state will not
lose as much money through the fail-
ure to file receipts as it would thru
the loss of time if they were requir-
ed.

is lights burned in the mansion until
lawn.
Harriman was subjected to iced j
baths all night. IIis temperature was
105 degrees. Former Governor Odell,
j who arrived Tuesday, admitted that
llarriman was very sick. Dr. Lyle
says the magnate was imprudent in
his diet and a sharp attack of indi-
gestion resulted. He, too, says Har-
riman is very ill.
I lie seriousness of Harrim.in's con-
dition was indicated by a statement
of Roland Harriman, who went to
'he postofFice. He was asked about
his father, and said: "I have not been
a.lowed to see him today, but I do
i.ol think he is so awful bad,"

FOR EACH BARK, ONE VOTE
Si. Louis, Mo., Sept. 3.—"Family
suffrage or no babii ,, no ballots."
This is the propaganda of Father
IV S. I 'lielan, priest and editor of the
Western Watchman, and it is the
burden of a measure which he will
have introduced in the next legisla-
| ture asking for family suffrage for
the purpose of encouraging large
families.
1 "1 would gi\e every family an ad-
ditional vote for every child born in
to it. said he. "It there were ten
children we would give the family
twelve vote In ease tile couplc
agreed politically we would allow the
father to cast the whole twelve."
j In this way he believes the wom-
| an s suffrage and race suicide ques-
tions would be solved.
