Millions of sheep and cattle are being brought from the parched areas of the far West to be fattened on the luxuriant grasses of Northen Mississippi valley. i In a recent discussion in Congress , it was stated that Japanese male wages are 53 cents a day and the same class of labor in the United States is paid $G.G0 a day.

Six miles of war vessels, 31 in num. t>er?some of which had held guard vith the British in the North Sea? swung past the reviewing ship, firng the dreadnought's salutes of nineteen guns in honor of the Secretary >f the Navy as they canv abeam the Montana. It required one hour for [ this vast fleet of dreadnaughts, battleships of lesser type and 21 sleek and speedy destroyers to pass the welcomng party. The war vessels turned inshore by i he Montana, then stood away to the j southward for three miles, came j ibout and steamed into the north-1 w;est, making almost a complete nrcle, and then firing guns in honor >f the secretary, the battleships came nto the bay. Secretary Daniels, turning from the iridge of the Montana after the last lestroyer had passed, said: "This is i realization of a dream I kept constantly in view since I first came to .he Pacific coast shortly after induction into ofiice to study naval conditions. I conceived of an American leet that was truly an American fleet it home and of equal strength on 30th coasts. This advance into pow;rful fleets is an epoch in naval his.ory and presages the day when the whole fleet now composed of more han a million tons, with five million nore tons building, will make the nagnitude of this review seem small n comparison." After the review Secretary Danels, in company with Gov. Stephens, >f California; Gov. Octaviani Larrasola, of New Mexico, with a personal representative of the Governor of \rizona, together with the Mayor of San Diego and Admirals J. L. Jayne, Tosiah McKean and Charles Parl-.s ind prominent West coast citizens, vent aboard the flagship New Me::co, where speeches of welcome were nade to Admiral Rodman and his leet officers.

Aug. 11?The c American Cotton Association, by con- c fidential representatives, has been se- j curing inside information from tho i cotton consuming centers of the 1 North and from the New York Ex- 8 change for quite some length of t time. Much of the information se- t cured is very valuable. j A mammoth meeting will be held i in the eatly fall for the purpose of t discussing and recommending a mini- t mum price for the growing crop based t on supply and demand and the com- t parison in prices of manufactured j products, also the matter of acreage c for the coming ye$ir will be seriously i nnn.wlm><?/l ?Ml L wnsiuocu. me lamia win u? oper- | j tiled on a business basis and only such t acreage will be planted as based upon t supply and demand will bring a prof- j itublc price. Under no condition will c the acreage to be planted to establish j surplus to bear down prices. j After this meeting, confidential information secured as stated above, will receive the most careful consideration and attention and investigation of the flagrant manipulation which has been practiced in the cot- ^ ton market will be made. As a re- c suit of this manipulation the South ? has suffered the loss of millions. One of the leading bankers from 1 | the wealthy Western section recently < stated: r "We would be delighted to loan money on your cotton as money is extremely easy with us, but it is an absolute tool for the manipulator, the prices being flagrantly and voilently j manipulated at his own sweet will, so that cotton is really considered as a gambling product, and in our section ^ of the West it is considered unsafe for handling by the banks. You j. should do something to stabilize your ^ prices." Dry goods to-day, since the breuk ^ in the price of cotton, are still advancing, it being impossible to have orders filled without delay. It has just been stated that it will be necessary to allot men's underwear on ac- a count of the great shortage of the manufactured product. There will be a record breiikino- denuind for cotton. As soon as the Peace Treaty has been confirmed the manipulator will be denied one implement that he has TRY IT SUBSTITUTE FOR NASTY CALOMEL Starts your liver without making you aick and cannot salivate Every druggist in town?your druggist and everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel.
