A discussion Is golu2; he rounds
of the press as TO the relative
strength of wet and dry timber
We do moi believe there is much
10 be made out OF the discussion.
Some kinds of timber are strong
er when dry. while other kinds
are stronger while wet or green.
II is safe 10 say that all woods are
harder and less liable to bend
when dry than when wet or
green. But most haid woods
when wet will possess more ten
sile strength than when dry.
Timber thoroughly seasoned is
more brittle ;han when green.
and With the necessary force will
break square off, while the same
timber green would stand about
the same pressure by bending
without breaking. Take hick-
ory sapling that it is almost i'm
possible TO break. in its green
state, although it may bend dou-
bic. and thoroughly dry it, and
you may easily break it almost
square of. So with almost anv
any kind of timber. Drying
makes it stir.er. more unyielding.

A brave fight has been carried on
for a year against the pool line by
Capt b. w Marston, owner of the
Sentell and Marco, and he is de-
serving of a hearty support from
the merchants and planters of the
Red river valley. Through his eff
forts they have been saved more
than one hundred thousand dollars
in freights in the last few months.
His crew are all young men raised
IN Red river, and a more clever
set cannot be found anywhere than

How is it that our police Jury order
justices to bring all suits against parties
failing to perform road duty, in the name
OF the police jury, and then pay only So
per cent OF the cost when the suits go
against them? Do they prorata their
own per diem p Peoples Banner
The gross ignorance and blind
prejudice displayed in the above
paragraph is lamentable in one as
piring to be a leader of public
sentiment and censor of public
morals. Only half of the taxes for
1887 were collected and in the
hands OF the parish treasurer at the
apportionment in January, and the
other half is yet to be collected
and paid out in April, at which
time Bro. Harvill may expect to
get the balance coming to him,
just like everybody else. We have
never had a set of police jurors
more disposed to deal justly with
the creditors of the parish, or jeal-
Gus of their good repute, than the
present, and the insinuation that
they are guilty of gouging into the
parish treasury to the exclusion of
other creditors is unworthy of ut
terance or belief by any fair mind
ed intelligent man.
