We should like to see the administra-
ton spare one day to the humiliation OF
the Louisiana lottery scheme. This con-
Germ brought in profit Of nearly $780,
900 last montl. to its owners, who bask
under the fancied security and sunshine
of a persistent and vehement propensity
upon the part of the United States gov
eminent to do naught against them. An
act of Congress strictly forbids the use OF
the mails for swindling purposes, and it
is to be hoped that among the many
thieving operations, reared and fattened
under Republican rule, now being pro-
hibited, that the Louisiana lottery will
also come in for its share of official dis
approval and reprobation. a.

Wheat for fall seeding viii absorb a
very large proportion of what is now
called the visible supply Of the United
States. In fact, it is now quite serious
question where clean and pure seed
wheat il 10 be obtained this fall. In
quiries are now being made for this ar
ticle for seeding purposes from Tennes-
see, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri and
Southern Illinois. The spring wheat
situation, as the season advances, shows
somewhat Of spotted character, but
conditions are fairly promising. The
crop seems to be more or less weedy,
and particularly in the northern part.
No more rain is needed to mature the
crop. Barring the contingencies of an
early frost and hail, the crops in
the Gallatin valley never prom
ised better results. The almost
daily showers of late have been more
than desirable, and in many instances
taye done away with the necessity Of
irrigation.

Lieutenant Schwatka has contributed
10 Bradstreet's some valuable informa'
ton on Alaska, much of which will be
new to the public. The salmon resources
of Alaska have long been familiar to
every one, but it has not been generally
known that the fish supply of the Yukon
and the other large rivers of the terri
tory is the most important in the world.
II is estimated that even with the pres
ept sparse population of the territory
100000 salmon are taken every year
in the rivers of Alaska. They are grad
ed below the Columbia river salmon,
but the best quality of the Yukon river
fish is said to excel the Chinook of the
Columbia. The traders in the employ
OF the Alaska Commercial company buy
dried salmon for their dogs in winter;
for large fish the price is noninally
one cent in trade

Judge Deadly of Portland rendered in
the federal district court a decision
which has an important bearing upon
the titles of pre-empted lands, and the
power Of the general government to re-
woke snch titles. In rendering the deei-
sion the court says: When certificate
of purchase has been issued to pre-
emptor, and no appeal has been taken
from the decision or action of the regis
ter and receiver, the land described in
the certificate becomes the property of
the pre-emptor. He has the equitable
title thereto, and has right to the legal
one as soon as the patent can issue in
the due course of proceeding; and he can
dispose Of the same and pass his interest
therein as if the purchase had been
made by a private person" In support
Of this position the court quotes from
the United States supreme court decision
in the case of Carroll versus Stafford, in
which Justice Mclean, in delivering the
opinion Of the court, said. "When the
land was purchased and paid for it was
no longer the property of the United
States, but of the purchaser. He held
it for final certificate, which could no
more be cancelled by the United States
than patent" The Oregon court held
that certificate of purchase issued in
due form in favor Of a pre-empter for
land subject to entry under the pre-
emption law cannot be cancelled or set
aside by the land department for al.
legged fraud in obtaining it." And twas
further held that the right of party
holding a certificate Of purchase Of pub
lie land and that Of his guarantee is
right in and to property Of which

The present freight tariff on the Mort
ern Pacific is slightly too high to be Of
advantage to the mining men or the
company itself. For instance the rate
per ton on ore is $3.50, which, with the
cost of reducing at Omaha, is sometimes
more than than the minerals are worth.
Consequently only high grade ore can be
shipped remuneratively transported at
present. We think that the railroad
would he gamers by lower rate, as the
number of shipments would be doubly
increased, and an impetus given to
mining operations in this vicinity that
would require a larger number Of min

HAAsvILLE, La, Sept. l, 1885.
Editors COURIER:
The past week has been dry, and
wind from the north, causing the cotton
to open much faster than the first weeks
of August which were quite showery
and warm with us, causing the cotton
plant to shed its forms very coDsidera-
bly,; yet the prospects now is for n
large yield of the staple in quite large
on the Bmuf and Cocodrie bayous, ru-
mors now and then drop in on us of
caterpillars, but on close inspection only
few have been noticed. In conversa-
tion with a farmer living on Elm bayou,
st. Landry, last Saturday, l learned
that the crops in that section of st. Ian
dry were very good-both cotton and
corn. From the same gentleman | was
given to understand that the Elm bayou
neighborhood had just reason to COM
plain that they "never, as Taxpayers,
received any benefit from the public
school funds.' Our informant stated
further that "nine months was all the
public school that had been taught there
since the war, though his mother. a
widow lady, had been assessed, and had
paid poll tax regularly for the past nine
years, they could, it seemed, get no
school," Weremarked that lady hav-
ing to pay ''poll tax" was news to as.
Informant said "news or not, the re-
ceipts show for themselves" The above
item is given as it was spoken to me,
by, in every respect, reliable man.
Cane is looking very promising, and
will no doubt yield largely at grinding
season. The pea vine hay crop is ex-
cellent and abundant. Corn is as good
as could we'll be wished for, and much
more of it grown this year than last in
this vicinity. A very good business is
being done at present in the lumber
trade; the mills in the pine hills of st.
Landry are kept busy saving lumber
for the Avoyelles trade
The roads, especially the one leading
out of the Elm and Cocodrie bayou set
Elements, have improved much during
the past week of dry weather. Avoy-
elles is coming to the front by building
frst-class bridges across the principal
streams,-so troublesome during high
water. Many OF the go ahead and splr-
tied farmers in this parish are making
improvements on their residences and
farms.
A new mail line is spoken of direct
from Bnnkie. on the r. P. R. r., to
Marksville, which would place our par
ish capital iu daily communication with

Our spicy parish journal, the Balletin,
says: att is time we should bend the
knee oftener to our Supreme Lord and
Master. The country needs more pray
ers, less swearing and whining, more
religion and less politics. and we add,
much less "bust- head whisky, and q
closer observance of Sunday.
