The New York stock market opened this
morning unchanged from Saturdays fig
ures, but during the first hour, on quite a
steady buying Of the stocks of the disrupted
transcontinental pool, prices advanced
a@1l per cent. The buying Of these shares
was caused by reports to the effect that the
differences between the roads named would
soon be adjusted. After the first call raid
was made on the Changers and they sold
pretty freely up to noon. At midday,
under their lead, the whole list had declined

LAKE CHARLES CACASEU PARISH NOVEMBER
Cypress H.u.aaI,er,

We extract the following from let.
ter written by Mr.. G. Bunker, of Or.
ange, Texas, to Mr.. R. L. Queyrouse,
General Agent of the Atlantic System
of the Southern Pacific Company, at
Houston, as it makes favorable men
tion Of the principal industry of our
town:
ORANGE, Tex, Nov. 8, 1886.
R. L. Queyrouse. Esq, Gen. Ag't, Houston
Dear Slr-Replying to yours of Oct.
30, requesting information as to cy-
press lumber manufactured at points
west of Lafayette, La, have to say
that Mermenteau makes cypress lum-
ber, but the amount is small and is
sold only in the immediate vicinity.
AT Lake Charles, La, there is the
mill of w. B. Norris, capacity l,Oo0,-
900 feet monthly of timber and lum.
Der; the timber is bridge material and
crossties and is purchased almost en-
tirely by the Southern Pacific Compa-
ny. The lumber is sold in Kansas,
where it has been introduced within
the past year. The Norris mill is the
only one there that manufactures tim.
Der and lumber of cypress
The cypress used at Lake Charles is
from the Calcasieu river and swamps
adjacent. The quality is very good,
and is known as red cypress. The
amount received there each year it is
difficult to foreteIl or estimate; it va
res and depends on high waters and
overfows, more coming out in the
winter and spring than in summer aud
fall. Possibly 5000 trees may reach
Lake Charles in the next four months,
aud there is never sufficient for full
year s supply. More timber came in
this last spring than for previous years,
on account of high water, and timber
was foated that had been ready for
several years.
There are also at Lake Charles three
mills that manufacture cypress shingles
exclusively: Tho mill of Thos. Han.
sen, 5O,0OO shingles daily; VIM. Meyer,
$4,000 shingles daily; II. A. Minis,
$4,000 shingles daily.
This is their capacity, but are not
operated regularly, depending on sup
ply of timber, of which the stock now
is small, and also on sale for shingles,
of which in the past two years there
has been an oyerstock. The Hansen
and Meyer mills arc located at Lake
Charles, on the lake shore, and the
Minis mill on the Calcasieu river.
At Orange not any of the mills
timber or lumber, although
they have done so to limited extent
in the past. Now it is exclusively
shingles and some crossties.

parish Division.


Editor Lake Charles Echo
preference to parish division, as seer
in recent issue OF the EcHo, tTaci
tus" seems to think we have beer
rather precocious in our views. What
could have ELECTED from his well-stored
mind such statement, we are at loss
to say however, this We can assert,
that it. is not opposition to the pro
iect, as some may reasonably suppose.
His mind is certainly too well balanced
upon the actual demands of upper
Calcasieu to say that we should con
tinue to labor under our present ineon-
veniences. Even the casual observer,
laying aside the object of personal in.
terest, and that at the expense OF
others, would readily decide that we
are entitled to much better advantages
than we now enjoy, such advantages
to be gained only by the establishment
of new county site in our midst.
He speaks as though we are not
yet prepared for the division, saying
we need it, but must "grow to it."
Perhaps allusion is made to the addi-
tional expense as well as his fancied
deficiency in population. 1t is true
that such would be the case; but much
better for us would it be to shoulder
the momentary financial burden to be
imposed upon us by such division,
than to continue in our present con.
dition. The unnecessary expense
which we are now supporting of going
to and from our present county site,
would, in few years, aggregate q
sum sufficient for the erection OF
buildings for new one; therefore, we
look at the matter in one light, as an
item of economy. We must speak
largely IN favor of the additional ex-
pense to be brought about by new
parish, should we ever be fortunate
enough to get such, rs il would dis.
pense with such great Inconvenience
as now rctard our progress,
In "thc part to bee off," our friend
seems to think there is not Sufficient
number of inhabitants to justify the
establishment Of a new parish.' If
We had been speaking of half dozen
to be carved off of Calcasicu, we
would think his a well-founded ex-
preston. Nothing has been inti-
mated of the extent of territory de-
sired to be "cut off," therefore, we
cannot see wherein he was justifable
in speaking of the number of "inhabi-
tants."
Again reducing the tenor of our
article down to a personal point, Mr.
"Tacitus" says, II will first have to en-.
courage emigration" An idea without
foundation, for never ignored an
opportunity of so doing. Besides,
the establishment of new parish in
the northern bounds of Calcasieu
would be better inducement TO emf
grants than any we can now offer,
We are always ready to note and
give attention to any point of argn-
ment brought up against any article
that may be written, as an idea ad-
vanced without foundation should not
remain intact before the public mind,
