However, In the report It gives the number of cars used In California and the valuation thereof. How it obtains the number of cars it uses In this state is by a method which the equalizers have had diffi culty in understanding.

PERFECTS PATENT ON COLTON HARVESTER Machine, Will Enable Planters to Increase Acreage WASHINGTON, July 21.—Patents ■were Issued today to Crawford Elliott, the inventor of the book typewriter, on a cotton picker or harvester which he has perfected as the result of near ly seven years' constant effort. The basic patent granted covers forty dif ferent claims. The machine has been tested for two years In the cotton fields, and with it one man and a team of mules will do the work of forty hand pickers. Only the ripe cotton is picked, and this is done without injury to the green cotton or the flowers. The successful cotton picker has at last arrived, and will enable the plant ers to greatly increase the present acreage under cultivation. The principle of the machine is a double row of bristle brushes about one and one-half inches in diameter and fourteen inches long, spinning rap idly in such a manner that the re volving: brushes are introduced into the plants close to the ground and drawn up in a vertical line through the plants, the brushes penetrating the bushes from both sides of the row. The ripe cotton adheres to the brush es while the rest of the plant is not in any way affected, the brushes traveling to a receptacle where they are stripped of the cotton and the op eration is repeated. It has been thoroughly tested and demonstrated that it will do the work at a quarter of the cost of hand la bar, which means a saving of $150,000, --000 a year to the cotton growers. The invention, which has been pur chased by the National Cotton Harves ter company of Chicago, 111., means much to the growth and expansion of the cotton industry, and it will un doubtedly add Immensely to the annual wealth of all the cotton-growing states.

Gen. Marlon P. Maus, command er of the department of the Columbia, on his return from a tour of inspection of Alaskan military posts, including a special trip to the new gold fields. "Some method of supervising the rush to this gold field should he do vised," said General Maus, "for there is bound to be much Buffering. As we came down from the camp we met many men going In, and only a few of them have any money. They are ex pecting to work, and there is no work for them. They are bound to become public charges. "Sis far there are only a few finds on Flat, Otter and Willow creek, and they are small, suitable for sluicing by hand.
