ity and despatch which make her

would not be worth while TO attempt
to keep out anything except the balls

The St. Landry Democrat attributes
the late prosperous boom Of Caleasieu
parish to saw mills, and hints that too
many saw mills have glutted the mar
ket and destroyed the good times.
But this view leaves altogether out of
account the farming and stock raising
advantages which must at least prove
the Substantial basis of the develop
ment of that fne eountry.-Csty Item.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Item, is right. Our stockraising, fruit
growing and varied agricultural re-
sources, are being rapidly developed.
What has been done in farming, here
tofore, has eonclusiVely demonstrated
that Calcasieu is destined to become
the great empire parish of southwest
Louisiana, and on her once spurned
bosom viii subsist mlllions Of man
kind, enjoying the products Of her
generous soil, and the health and hap
piness Of her genial climate. lis no
picture. Ealcasieu's great treasure
has been discovered. 1t ism her soil,
her lumber and her climate, and in
dustrious and intelligent farming and
business management, is only required
to make it available to all.

In answer TO some inquiries as to
the powers and duties of parish sur
veyors, We publish the following ex-
tracts from the Law, creating and de-
fining the powers and duties of these
officers, to-wit: gs--.=-.-- --..-.-..- -
"SEcuoE 3743. 1t Shall be the duty
of the said surveyors faithfully to ex-
ecute all orders Of surveys directed to
them by any of the courts Of this
State, and to make all surveys Of land
lying in their respective parishes"
"SEc. 3744. The fees chargeable by
the surveyors, shall be paid by the
parties desiring their services"
"SEc. 3745. 1t shall be their duty
whenever called on for that purpose to
re-survey and remark aud bound any
tract of land in their respective par
isles" p.
The act is rather long one, and
contains many minor points of duty,
and details, but not OF such nature
and importance as to require stating
here.
These surveyors are supposed to be
professionals, and are bonded for a
true and faithful performance of their
duties in the sum of two thousand dol
lars.
Though the surveyors are the
proper parties to make all surveys it
seems, it is always best where there is
contest as TO boundaries for the par
ties to always bring an action for
boundary, and hare the surveyor es-
tablish same by order of court.

Washington Argus: Were the fare
over the Morgan road reduced to one
cent per mile, or an even V fer the
round trip, hundreds from our town
and immediate vicinity, who under the
present rates will remain at home and
forego the pleasures of a trip to the
Crescent city during the Exposition,
would exert themselves and raise the
needfuI sum to defray the expenses of
themselves and members of their fam
lilies for at least one trip. We fear
that the railroad msgnates will too
late awake to the fact, that the course
they are nos pursuing in regard to
excursion rates, is not in aeesFd with
the wishes and interests of the people
from whom they derive a revenue,
and whose good they should consult
is detrimental to the interests of their
company, and the ultimate and final
success Of thsgreat Exposition.
We endorse every word of the above
as the facts are undeniable, and would
respectfully suggest the same to the
careful consideration Of the manage
ment OF the Louisiana Western Rail
road, as this, too, is farming section,
and in consequence cheap rates Of
transportation are absolutely necessary
to afford our people an opportunity to
visit and contribute to the success of
the Worlds Exposition, and such rates
would, in our mind, increase, largely,
the proftsof the railroad, as it is much
better to haul 100 passengers at 50 a
piece than to baud five at $40.
