CONCERNING STABLES.

sEbls 70 Keep the Occupants In Good
Hee1eA-, ssssf.
Stables, like dwelling houses, have .
number of requisites without which it
is impossible to keep the occupants in
good heslkh. First and foremost is
ventilation:- The Importance of pure
air can hardly be adequately Under
stood without some knowledge Of the
circulation Of the blood and also the
composition of the air. Fortunately
the different properties Of foul and pure
air afford great facilities for ventilation.
The former, being generally heated,
rises to the roof, while the latter, being
cool, falls It II, therefore, only neces.
sary to procure means of exit in tho
highest part Of the stables, and the
! foul air viii escauc ~ its own inherent
ightness The real difficulty lies in
securing . sufficient quantity Of pure
air without causing an inconyenient
and sensible draught. This is best ac-
c0mplished by small apertnres near the
/ Aoefl of the building say about seven
inches by two in size, and one for: each
horse. By these. means scarcely per
ceptible stream of fresh air is supplied.
The doors and windows should never
be used wmedfumD Of Ventilation, un-
less in. very warm weather, or

Iron Ore i'm Winn Parish.

Col. Sam L. Houston, the proprietor
of the celebrated marble beds 4 miles
west of this place brought to our Office,
what appeared to US to be the richest
kind of iron ore. He has made quite a
discovery in that direction recently.
he says that brown hematite and
oxide OF iron, exist in large quantities
near st. Maurice, on the Saline on the
lands owned by Mr.. w. j. Robbins and
extending in a north easterly direction
for many miles up the Saline, and on
the high ridges extending out from said
stream; covering thousands of acres.
He has also discovered iron ore in in
exhaustible quantities on the bluffs of
Sand creek miles west of here, on the
property of Houston & Trogel, near the
marble beds. One piece from the latter
place which he showed us; he SAYS, will
assay 70 per cent. of pure iron. Aside
from the inexhaustive supply of ore ;
besides the richness of the ore; which
ls claimed to be superior to any other in
the State; the lime for huxing pur-
poses is at hand existing in large auan-
titles near the ore.
This alone, gives this locality an adj
vantage over all others for an iron fur
mace; besides, the timber for smelling
purposes is at hand. It appears to be
possible, that we have been living in
one of the richest parishes in the State,
and have only lately found it ont. We
do not think Mr.. Houston is given to
exaggeration but has stated facts, the
substance of which we have given in
the foregoing.
Mr.. Houston is a practical mineralo
gist and says, that he has never been
mistaken as to the quality, or quantity,
of iron ore; after he has made an ex-
amination.-Southern Sentinel.

The Police Jury met last Tuesday in
regular session. with full Board, and
have been busily engaged ever since as
a Board of Reviewers, endeavoring, as
far as passible, to correct all irregular
assessments. One commendable action
0n the part of this body was their Motif
cation to the agent of the Louisiana
Western Railroad Company, to show
cause why the assessment on their prop
erty in this parish should not be in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile.
We consider this nothing but just and
right, as it is a nominal valuation, and
we hope the Board will not recede in
any way from the position taken by
them in regard to this increase of Valua-
tion.-Lake Charles Echo.

In the course of this decision, which is quite
lengthy, the commissioner cites from leading
decisions OF the Supreme Court, and concludes
as follows:
Following these decisions, by the authority
of which am governed, mnst hold that
withdrawal of land by the Commissioner OF the
General Land Office, when Withdrawals of land
for entry or other appropriations, are not re-
quired by law is effective only as information
in defining the limits within which indemnity
selections may be made in proper time and
manner, but. is not operative as q prohibition OF
settlements on lands within such limits, under
the public land laws, prior to time when
lawful selection by the railroad company has
been lawfully made"
This decision was brought out by an inquiry
from the receiver of the Land Office at Walla
Walla, W. T., as to whether or not the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company is entitled to the
land regularly settled upon by one Miller, but
which was by change in the line OF the above
men toned road brought within It's indemnity
limits.
The point here decided covers the
present case and is decisive of the ques-
ton raised by Mr.. Lewis, to-Wit : that
settlers on indemnity lands prior to
definite location of the road are protec-
ted under the law In fact the decision
goes much further, for the Commission
er holds, that indemnity Withdrawals
not required by law, do not prohibit
settlement of lands within such limits
under the public land laws prior to the
time a lGactW selection has been actually
made.
The settlers in this parish are all on
indemnity lands that were not required
by law to be withdrawn and they set
tied on the land not only before any
selections were made (none were made
until 1889 but long before any definite
location of the line.
We have not time to go further in
this matter but we think enough has
been said to show that Mr.. Lewis has
been in the right all the time and that
if the settlers are to escape the tolls of
the railroad he has pointed out the way.
And we venture to say in conclusion
that if the settlers were to back him up
in his efforts in their behalf, as they
ought to do, they would ultimately tri-
