The TtmeS-DemOcrat says: Some
idea OF the increase in the numbering
business of Louisiana can be formed
from the returns of the Like Charles
mills. In 1880, the whole State pro.
duced but 1853, 472, 600 feet Of Iumber,
and It's entire product, including Iaths,
shingles, slaves, headings, ETC., was
but 81 ,7G4,G4 in value. The eight
mills Of Lake Charles alone have pro
duced SO, 5OO,O 900 feet of sawed lum-
Der dnnng the present year, besides
shingles and other wood products.
The Bradley-Ramsav Company cut
100000 feet, and Lock, Moore &
Co. $4,000, 600, the others running
down to 100000. 1t will be seen
that the Lake Charles mills to-day
produce 70 per cent. as much as the
entire Stale did in 1880. Judging
from these figures, If the improve,
ment has been anywhere the same in
other portions of Louisiana, its totaI
production of lumber must be 450,,
10000 feet, and the value of all lum
Der products, including the shingles
turned out by the Plaquemine anG
other shingIe mills and the planet
lumber, about S6,25O,OOO. This il
certainly a very handsome increasr
for eight years, but it is only a hin
of what it is going to be in the futurc
when the Western and other capital
lists, who have purchased SO largely Q
Louisiana woodlands, begin to marke
their timber

ChfIdreu's Meeting.

Last February, during the revival
meeting which was conducted il the
Baptist church by Ed Merrill, assisted
by Elders Tomkies and Thompson, a
chiIdren's meeting was called for at 3
o'clock on Sabbath evenings. These
meetings have been kept mp ever since.
In one or two instances during the long
summer days, attempts were made to
disband them, bnt OF each occasion 1t
was left to q vote Of the children, and
it was carried unanimously by them to
continne. Now, it may be said to be a
part Of the church proceedings and al
most as essential as the Sunday school,
The children and young people attend
regularly and take part in the singing
and in reading suitab and instructive
pieces, after which an opportunity is
given for 4 free expression, which Is
generally responded to, and We have
some excellent talks.

ME. CLEVELAND, it seems, is about
10 have another fight with the Repnb-
licsn majority IN the Senate. He has
nomiBated Mr.. Lew o. Bailey, Of
Indianapolis, to be United States
attorney for the District Of Indiana,
and the Republican Senators say they
intend to reject him. The reason
given for this is that Mr.. Bailey made
himself obnoxious personally to Mr..
Harrison during the late campaign,
bat the real reason is, that Mr.. Bailey
as assistant attorney, has been in
charge of the Judicial political investI-
cation, which many Republicans fear
may pat striped clothes upon come Of
their Indian brethren, and if confirmed
as attorney, would be prepared to
push the cases. The Republicans
figure thai if they reject Bailey and
"bang mp any other nomination, Mr..
Cleveland may send in to fiji the
vacancy, the place can be kept open
until Harrison comes il, and that he
can scIect a man who will no: be hard
upon the Republican briLers who
helped 10 carry Indiana for HIM.

A writer 10 the Sunday Oregonian
has the following to say on the subjec,
Of annexation
The feeling in North idaho in favor
Of annexation to Washington is growing
stronger, and, considering that it has
been very strong Tor several Years back i,
this is saying good deal. Any"ne who
will visit that part OF the territory and
investigate its Resources and eds, and
the methods by whirh the one may b.
developed and the other supplied, will
then comprehend why this annexation
sentiment should b. SO s'rnuy. To bc
sure, the sentiment il mt unanimous in
Northern Idaho, and in Southern Idaho
the very idea Of annexation arouses the
p l,tic'ans to display Of feeling that
leaves n" doubt that they will oppose the
cutting off Of the ian hand enrrge,ical-
y and n"comprn'uis'nsy. Blu, u v,ry
large maj"ri,v Of the people in North
Idaho are more than ever in favor of
annexation. koo.enal county, by rra
son Of the Northern Pacific railroad, is
tributary to Spokane, and while some Of
the people favor going to Montana,
probably an equal number oppose that
IDEA and favor Washington. In Shes.
hone the sentiment is nearly equally d.
vidtd. majority favor,ng ANNEXATION To-
Washington, the minority iavor,ng
Montana. In Me- Perce county prh.
ably nine out Of every ten voters will
favcr Washington. The general ieatur. =
OF this latter county indicate NJ sub.
s,an,'al difference from any Of the coun-
ties in southeastern Washington.
