taken from ancient publications, the
following narrative of a food on the
great Father of Waters, penned by an
eyewitness, which can have no other
effect than the one of proving highly
interesting and instructive to our
readers
When the Mississippi is flooded, a
tract of more than thirty miles oppo-
site Natchez and reaching the Red
river is under water. The flood creeps
down cypross-shadowod glades, under
gloomy pines and into recessos where
trailing vines or creepers exclude the
sunlight Deer in thousands are driven
to the islets, Squatters in their canoes
find there the game they kill for skins
or feathers that will sell. Farmers save
their families on RATS. Ihave foated
on the Mississippi and Ohio when
thus swollen, and have in different
places visited the submerged lands Of
the interior, propelling a light chnoo
by the aid of paddle. In this man
ner | have traversed immense portions
Of the country overlooked by the
waters of these rivers, and particularly
when floating over the Mississippi
bottom lands nave | been struck with
awe at the sight. Little or no current
is met with, unless when the canoe
passes over the bed of a bayon. All

Northwestern Lumberman.
A record Of the proceedings Of the
meeting Of Iumbenucu at Houston,
Texas, and out of which grew the
Lumber Manufacturers Protective As.
sociation of Texas and Louisiana, was
made in these columns last week, but
since then a conversation with one of
the mombors of the association made
the object Of the organization moro
clear than reading Of the minutes of
tho meeting could. The object is
protection against the encroachmont
of retail dealers. The latter, it is
claimed by the Texas and Louisiana
manufacturers. have played some very
shabby tricks. Shipments have been
made, aud word would come back
from the receivers that part of the
lumber was rejected, and subject to
the manufacturers order. This is
often done, it is believed, in order to
get reduction IN price on the whole
order 1t has often been showed to
the satisfaction of the mil men that
there was no excuse, for sneh course,
and the object of the association is to
protect its members against such
kickers When complaint is made,
the matter will be investigated, and
If it is ascertained that there is no
foundation for complaint the mem
bers of the association will be SO in
formed, and thereafter the unfortunate
retailer will be unable to buy any
more stock of them. If there is but
one yard in a town, and the owner OF
it should be proven to be unfair and
dishonest toward the manufacturers,
the association will at once plant
yard alongside of his, and, in common
language, make it hot for him. In
order to be able to do this the associa-
tion will raise Q fund 100000, and
submit to assessments If at any time
it is necessary to make that amount
larger. The manufacturers claim that
its object is not in the least to affect
the interests Of consumers. Their
desire is not to boom prices, but
simply to protect themselves against
dishonesty,

PITTSBURGH, PS

PITTSBURGH, Pa April 8.
Butler County in this State has a
heroine. For some time there has been a
hot controversy for the possession of thirty
acres of land between the heirs of William
Puryiance and Of D. A. Renfrew, repre-
sentng the Forest Oil Company. Miss
Dot .Purviance claims a patent from
the Government for the property,
and recently the Board Of Property at
Harrisburg decided that she was the right
full owner. She had a hut erected on the
property and moved into it recently. Tues
day morning force of fifteen or twenty
men, employees of the Forest Oil Company
attempted to eject the alleged intruder from
the premises The first assault was made by
Renfrew and his two sons kicking in the
door. This raised the ire of Miss PurYiance,
who displayed a greater amount OF courage
than is generally possessed by the female
sex. Armed with an Old AK she struck right
and left, which unexpected and daring as
saut terroriZed the combined forces
against her, resulting in a general STAN
pede and hasty retreat Of the Forest
OIL Company's men amid jeeTs, cheers and
laughter of some hundred persons who were
present TO witness the scene. The RenfTeWs
attempted to rally their forces, offering by
ISLANDERS five dollars for assistance, but no
one responded. At this point Sheriff Dom
aghy came and commanded the peace. Misc
Purviance went 10 Butler and mad the Rem
frews arrested for riot, and Renfrew had
Miss Purviance arrested for forcibe entry
and detainer. Miss Dot holds the fort and de-
Glars she will shoot If another attempt is
made. The property is worth $50, 600, was
leased to the Forest City Oil Company by
Renirew, and has two producing wells
upon it. f8
