Smoking and Storing Meat.

Mr.. W. W. Tracy contributes to the
Michigan Farmer this account OF his
method of smokingaaud storing meat,

the room cool enough so ttat The fat of
the hams Or bacon will not ooze out
(which is fatal to good favor"

or log six inches square from the very

piled TO the top Of the Wart, IN very

Thos. E. Booth, the young man
charged with the killing of two men
and the wounding of two others. last
winter, in this parish, vas released
Thursday, having given bond in the
sum Of $500 for his appearance ht the
next term of the district court. The
readers Of the Echo are familiar with
this case. The prise does not deny
the killing, but claims justification.
And it would seem from the amount of
bond required by the court, that there
Is much truth in the claim. The evi-
dence adduced ut the preliminary hear
ing Of the case, was largely in favor of
the prisoner, and although his nights
work with the pistol was fearful one
in its results, the insults offered the
wife Of the accused were sufficient to
arouse any man to desperate deels.
The elder Booth, father of the pris-
oner, has worked increasingly and per-
sistently to secure the release of his
son. Both are strangers, and poor in
worldly goods, notwithstanding which
the father has succeeded in furnishing
the following named well-known citi-
zens as sureties for the appearance of
his unfortunate son: Geo. W Ryan.

Stock men in this section are com
planning Considerably, and justly, too,
at the railroad company for their neg
lect of the interests of this class of pa
irons Of the road. The lack of ship
ping pens at this point is a source of
annoyance and no little extra expense
to our stock men. Very recently a
herd of some 200 head Of beeves was
delivered from pasture, distant from
the Lake Charles depot about two
miles, and the parties receiving them
were compelled to swim the river and
drive to Edgerly Station in order to
secure shipping facilities. This is
matter that should, whether it does or
not, receive the attention of the rail
road company.

Some of our merchants are com
planning vigorously at the "oheck
system " adopted by the mills. They
say they have to either take checks
from mill hands or lose theil trade,
and after having taken these checks
they are frequently compelled to wait
for sixty aud even ninety days before
they can cash them. Of course, this
is annoying, and sometimes puts the
merchant to no little inconvenience,
For the present, however, the Echo
can offer no solution to the check
problem but it is of the opinion that
the opening of the Bank of Calcasieu,
will, in a great measure, obviate the
necessity for the little pasteboGrds.

LOCK PORT,

Of course, every resident of this
section knows where Lockport is sit
uated; but the Echo has a number Of
readers who are not so well posted, and
who are DESTROYS of learning all they
can of the various points of interest
1 throughout the parish.
Without further Introductory re.
marks, then, it is first in order to state
that Loekport is located, via West
Lake Charles. some four miles from
Lake Charles. 1t is here that the large
and admirably fitted upi saw mill OF
Messrs. Lock, Moore & 90. is situated.
This is the largest mill in the parish,
having a capacity of $4,000 feet Of lum-
Der per day, and it is seldom these
figures are not reached at the close of
every full days labor. All told, fifty
odd men are required to keep the mill
under full headway, at an expense of
5000 per day.
We had occasion to visit these mills
on Tuesday last, and this article is
based on data secured at headquarters.
Although Capt. Lock, the senior of
the firm, was absent, we met Messrs.
W. NJ Ryan and A. W. Wehrt. the for
mer one of the proprietors Of the mill
and the latter the efficient foreman in
charge. Mr. Wehrt kindly showed US
through the mill and enlightened US as
to the various demands upon the nu-
merous pieces of machinery and the
general manner Of conducting the bust
ness.
Veterans in saw-milling might have
been able TO pick flaw somewhere i'll
connection with the vast establish ment;
but we doubt it. Certainly the writer
was unable to do so. From the largest
to the smallest piece of machinery
clock-work regularity was apparent.
Tie firm carry stock Of 900, 900
feet of lumber. This they are com
PEELED to do in order to meet the de-
mand for seasoned material We never
saw lumber more uniformly classel
and stacked anywhere. In fact on the
yards, as in the mill, the same evidence
Of thorough knowledge of the mill
ing business is apparent at a glance.
Messrs. Lock, Moore & Co. are ne
gotiating with the railroad company
for switch, which will afford them
much greater shipping facilities, and
open up vast territory that they have
heretofore been unable to cover.
In connection with the mill, they
have mercantile establishment, where
q large and varied stock of dry goods
and groceries are kept on hand. This
departure ut is under the management
of Mr.. RObt. Law, a nephew of Capt
Lock, and an agreeable and pleasant
young gentleman, whose acquaintance
We are glad to have made. Although
reared in the very heart of the city of
London, Mr.. Law seemed to take
kindly to life in the piney woods of
Louisiana
There are other items Of interest that
we might mention in connection with
our trip to Lockport, but both time
and space prohibit further comment
at this time. Suffice it that we were
pleased with what We saw and learned
and if the reader is not equally so with
our article, we cant help it. for We
have done our best.
