Jackson, Miss. May .--( I. N. S.) i An Increase of from 16 to 20 per cent ' In the cotton acreage this spring is be ing predicted. This increase will be made. In spite of She fact that In al ' most every community in the south ' farmers have held meetings and passed resolutions calling upon the farmers ? to reduce the cotton average, cut down i.tha output and keep up the price. It appears many farmers, believing the ' acreage would be reduced by their neighbors, and that. In consequence, a ' short crop would be produced and good 'prices would prevail, have lent every energy to plant more cotton than usual. ?. More cotton will be planted In the boll weevil districts than has been planted in several years, as larmers 'hive learned How to successfully cope i with -the pest.

With great difficulty, Mrs. Stokes was finally rescued from her fi-itndly besiegers and maneuvered through a side door. The meeting was In welcome of Kmma Goldman, the anarchist, on her release from Queens county jail, after serving a sentence of 15 days fcr lm jartlng information about birth control.

DIECK, II SHOWS COST BROADWAY OF THE, MPROVEMENT PLAN Average Expense for Grade Changed $3,80 a 100x50 , Lot, Says Commissiorter, BOUNDARIES ARE SHOWN Objections Filed Wers Xnenf flotsnt la the Opinion of OoaasU, Zeelares Mr. Bleak Q Opes Xettes. Portland, May l.To ths Editor of The Journal The department of public' worke has received many inquiries re garding proposed district improvement of Broadway, between. Larrabee street and Union avenue, and other streets, particularly as to the probable assess ments therefor, regarding which there has been some misunderstanding. It Is desired, therefore, to publish the following information. The improve ment may be discussed In two parts: 1. The change of grade "and Inci dental reconstruction. 2. The paving of Broadway and tha unpaved portion of Williams avenue south of Broadway. The change of grade proceedings were formally initiated by a petition of property owners an were con ducted In accordance with the char ter provisions, the owners being no tified and afforded the right to scru tinize the object to the design and to the cost. Objections Axe Insufficient. In th opinion of th council the objections filed were Insufficient and the changes were officially estab lished. The major results will be to reduce the; grade on Broadway be tween Benton and Ross streets from 6 per cent to 4.25 per cent, and be tween Vancouver avenue and Williams avenue to 8. $9 per cent. The cost of the work made neces sary by these changes, based on the accepted bid. Including the city's 5 per cent, but -excluding that amount chargeable to the railway company (no part of which is assessed to property owners), is estimated as $9151.75, and will be assessed to the district bounded as fellows: On the west by Larrabee street; on the south by Cherry street to East First street; thence east on a line 100 feet BOuth of t!he south line of Weldler street to a point 100" feet east of East Twenty-fourthrstreet; thence north to a point 250 feet:south of the south line of Knott street; thence west to East Seventh street; thence west to Union avenue, on a line 125 feet north of the north line of Brazee street; thence west to Williams avenue, on a line 150 feet north of thenorth line of Sacra mento street; thence west to a point 100 feet west of the west line of Van couver avenue on a line 225 feetfWrta of the north line of Page street; thence south to a point about 150 feet north of the north line of Broadway; thence to Larrabee street along Dixon street. Average Cost Shown. The district is approximately IV miles In length east to west, with a maximum width one-half mile north and south, and takes in part of the fol lowing additions: Elizabeth Irving', Irving's Second. Alblna, Shaver BlocA Irvlngton, West Irvington and ,Holla day's, and Includes about 2375 lots. Thus the cost on account of the g-ade changes will average about $3.80 per average 50x100 foot lot in the dis trict. The cost of, newly paving Broad way from Larrabee street to Union avenue and the unpaved portion of Williams avenue, including the city's 5 per cent, .but excluding that amount chargeable to the railway companj (no part of which is assessed to tht district), based on the accepted bid is estimated at) $19,824.84. This will be assessed to the property one-half block on either, side of the portions of street to be paved. Very truly yours, R. G, DIECK, Commissioner of Public Works.
