migrants or intending settlers on the

along the river; land is being cleared
and other Improvements are being
pushed ahead. 1t il his opinion that
the land there is some Of the finest in

for agricultural settlers there are very
great The soil 10 Of the richest aliu-
vial. covered with vine maple and q

there. and by employing Indians to do
the clearing, put it. in . condition for
cultivation at sn expense OF not more
than ten dollars per acre, over and

. condition for CULTIVATION, will,
in . few years. be in great de-
mand ct 800 an acre. and will be
worth more than that to the holder
even for pastora! purposes alone But
for the cultivation of grain, or even
hay. it would be far more profitable.
OF tho former, the Captain says, the
land on an average will produce thrac
tons to the acre, and the producer can
certainly count on receiving not less
than $l0a ton for II on the bank. The
hay can be cut. cured and put on the
bank for % per ton. Therefore the pro-
Queer can calculate on receiving Gel IN
acre per snnum from his land clear,
or more than 5000 per year from his
i6O acres. This would be handsome
income from an investment Of 81 800
But in the cultivation Of grain. vegeta-
bles or hops a much larger sum could bs
counted on as the annual profit of the
holder. We may add in conclusion
that there is no portion Of the United
States that Offers such Aattcring induce
ments to immigrants as this Territory.
and in no place can poor man procure
. good farm 80 easily. These opportuni-
ties will not. hover. be long open. In
side Of two years time these valuable
claims on the Sksgit will have been oil
located. and those who now have the
enterprise to put themselves in posses
sion Of 100 acre farm will have some
thing to congratulate themselves upon.

what had TRANSFERRED.
Della Orsge, one OF the accessories TO the theft,
stated that after the money was stolen IL WAS
divided between Lizzie williams, Mslinda Wells
and herself; that she met Officer Louis Smith
and man named Frank Montgomery and gave
them sl60, to be divided between them for giving
o little good advice and showing her where she
might remain until the robbery blew over.
This model police officer, Louis Smith, and
Frank Montgomery, were arrested by Sergeant
Ryan and lodged in the Central Station, charged
with aiding and abetting in the escape OF Grim
inal and blackmailing.
Officers RYAN and Tracy have worked hard at
this case and their efforts have been crowned
with success, ss they recovered t946 Of the stolen
funds.
The money that was recovered was found In
Officer Smiths possession. This negro Smith
was policeman on the Metropolitan force, and
was appointed on the Crescent City force with
the many other bad appointments. But this
little robbery game he played on Friday will, no
doubt, end his craftsmanship.
The five accused we're yesterday arragned be-
fore Judge Smith and placed under $4,000 bonds
each for their appearance. They all failed to fur
nish the required bonds and we're remanded to
the Parish Prison.

Thacksray in some Of his bonnie bouctes from
Paris tells of the divine gusto with which hims
and friend enjoyed bouHloebaise in one OF the
smaller restaurants on the Rue des Petit Champs.
The toothsome flavor OF the dish awakened the
most pleasant memories, and according to the
English satirist, the two friends looked into one
anothers eyes and "lived ages In minute"
Tho ardor with which he wrote about the bouit-
Rebaise was not unworthy of the dish, but here in
our own Crescent City we have the gombo that
in delicacy Of flavor. appetizing aroma vies with
it's Partisan rival
To the connoissenr in such things there is
perhaps no dish that has the "smack" Of what
the children call 'tthe nice things" about it like
the veritable gombo well made and highly sea-
soned. The red pepper gives to it q pungency
that is exceedingly grateful to the palate in our
Southern climate, whilst its mucaginous quail
ties make its digestion the more easy.
The okra or dbeln0schus escutentus is in gen.
ersl use throughout the South and in the West
Indies, and has been highly regarded by the med
ioal fraternity as an article of diet. Prepared as
Our Creole cooks prepare it with crabs, chicken
or shrimp as basis, gombo has earned
high reputation with gourn.ets, and can
be characterized like the ola podrida to Spain,
as the dish of the Louisianais. The pleasant
taste of the okra ornannented with the flavor of
the ham, shrimps and crabs, tempts even the
appetite Of the 5ybarite and, like Thackeray, the
partaker slives ages In minute"
