Owing TO the fact that heretofore we
have had at this season of the year a
southern demand for that class CT
stock, which enabled the farmers to
obtain good prices, this spring, there
has been no demand south. Conse-
quently there is surplus which will

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1884-06-14

The past week has been peculiarly
stirring in consequence of the splen,
did weather we have had.
Farming has been pushed and ma.
terially advanced, and our farmers
begin to put on their smiling counte-
nances again, and with their usual
energy are putting in their best ticks.
We arc panied to have to report
that considerable loss has been expe-
rieneed in the extreme northern por-
ton of the parish by farmers who had
pitched their crops mostly upon bot
tom lands, the high waters having
swept every vestige of crops away.
Hopes, though, are entertained that IS
the waters are now fast disappearing
some cotton may be raised yet, which
will retrieve their losses.
On the other hand, the high waters
in the creeks have enabled running
down the better portion of the logs of
onr logmen, and they now have to
complain of temporary glut in the
market. ..
In the prairies the high waters have
retarded rice planters, but as June is
good month for planting this grain,
the good weather we now have stimu-
lates the cultivators and, hence, much
energy is used in getting their seed in
the ground.
Fortunately, though, we have no
10 record as to the health of
the whole parish. On the contrary,
health is exceptionally good.
Here in town, since the cessation
Of rain, business has revived 10 O con-
siderable extent, and we have to re-
port Il general better condition of
affairs. Building continues, and the
demand for houses to rent is on the
increase.
Work on our new Jail is progress
ng rapidly, and we are glad of it, be-
'ansc it is needed very badly by our
authorities.
In fact, our affairs have been quite
satisfactory the past week, and the
ScHo eoRgratulates its readers upon
he present outlook for the future.

May 18th, 1854, un,ler the caption or
Galeasieu Lumber Still Ahead we
reiterated the charge in Substance,
and collaterally alluded to the fact
that our esteemed contemporary, the
Orange T'yi5nae," had itmade ar
arrangements, : to advertise their
tthe aealers lumber interests to The
exclusion Of all Others" to which onr
Tribune friends took exceptions, and
inlprudently tRmhled into a mass Of
statements, which, if they had stopped
to think moment, we think, they
never would have made. They said
that there WAS no difference in the
two kinds of luniber--alleged that
Orange mill men had the pick Of
100000 acres of the best pine lands in
Calcasieu, and wound mp with ques-
ton Of the truth Of their bargain to
erciatsively advertise the lumbermen
Of Orange.
Our familiarity with the ownership
of pine lands in Calcasisu, really per
mitted us to positively deny any such
statement; but, out of pure respect |
and the high esteem we held for our
contemporary, we merely asked the
whereabouts of these lands. And as to
the exclusive advertising of Orange
lumber men, we merely published their
letter to one of our lumber firms, and
asked what it meant. All of which
went to prove most conclusively that
they--the Orange lumber men---had no
such pick, and that for some purpose
we leave 1t to the public to surmise-
the Tribune had permitted itself to
violate what We would deem one of
the most vital requisites of public
journalism; though we did not
at the time, and do not now, deny it
the privilege, if it sees fl TO do 50,
and to continne it. Which act though,
seems to us to enter into the matter

Editor Lake Charles Echo;
i see by the papers that our Repre-.
sentative is making himself heard and
felt at the State Capital. This is as ii
should be. Galcasieu has q right to be
heard, and deserves to take afront seat
in the halls of Legislation. If she has
at last sought out and found talent,
backed by energy and honesty Of pnr-
pose, 10 represent her at the Capital,
let us rejoice and hope for better things

Let the office seek the man, and

State. Among the important subjects
for consideration is that for the estab-
lishment Of a better system of public
schools. We hopeithat wise counsels
may prevail and the dearest interests

may receive proper consideration at
the hands of orr Legislators
