Come to Louisiana. Young Man.

El PaSsO Herald. O
Capt. Grozier, ranchman, got caught
in the snow storm while ON his way from
his ranch on Diamond Creek to Chloride, q
small mining camp. He was mounted, but
soon lost his way. He had neither gun
with him to discharge, and thus attract at
tention and help, nor matches to start fire.
All he had was pocket knife. When he
found that he was fast getting benumbed
he killed his horse with the knife, took
out the entrails and crawled into the warm
carcass, leaving only the liver inside.
Completely covered with snow. he re-
manned in this retreat for three days, eat-
ing meanwhile, portion of the horses
liver. When he was missed, party
went out to hunt him, and was successful
in its search. He was taken to mining
camp on the Cudrillo Negro Creek. He is
badly frost bitten.

The Popular Illinois Central.

|
| The American
One of the reasons why homeseekers
and tourists prefer the Illinois Central
Route to all others, is because of safety,
good equipment, firm roadbed and gentle
manly and courteous officials and employees.
Another reason is because this company
has always shown an interest in the de-
velopment of the country tributary to its
own line. 1t has not only made exceed
ingly low rates but more than this, it has
earnestly co-operated with every industry
and enterprise on its line of road that
promised to be of advantage to it's patrons
This great company, reaching from Sioux
City, Sioux Falls, Chicago and St. Louis
to New Orleans has the advantages over
all others, of owning the line the entire
distance and all household goods and stock
are shipped from the northwest to points
in the south without being switched and
reswitched from one line of road to an
other The Illinois Central has also one
of the best routes for passengers. At
every station on this line north of Cairo,
are on sale round trip tourist tickets
limited to June LIST, 1889, giving people
who are tired of the cold winters of the
northwest an opportunity to spend the en-
tire winter in the south. This Company
is also showing its interest in the building
up of the south by making very low
round trip land rate taoice per month from
all points on their Illinois, Wis Iowa and
Oak. lines to all points on the line of their
southern division in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana. also to Crowley,
Jennings and Lake Charles. Another evil
dence of the enterprise manifested by this
company is sesn in the new illustrated
pamphlet recently published by the Pass
enger Department entitled prosperous
Northern Settlements in Tennessee, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana" Every person who
has any thought of changing his location
or any who must go south for health or
who are looking for investments, should
by all means write Mr.. ]. F. Merry. Genl.
West. Pass. Agt., Manchester, Iowa, for
q copy of this book. Pages might be
written in commendation of this Company
for what they have already done toward
building up the northwest and what they
are now doing for the south. For the rea-
sons above expressed and many others
that might be mentioned The american
most heartily indorses the Illinois Cen
trail railroad and recommends it to every
person coming south.

LOUISIANA.
Weekly Louisiana Review.

Weekly Louisiana Review.
Never before in the history of our state
has there been so general desire to keep
pace with other states in the march of pro-
gress, and there is not a neighborhood,
however remote, that is not at this time
extending cordial invitation to people Of
every land seeking homes or safe invest
ments for their capital. There are hill
lands and low lands in profusion every
where, and which none more fertile can be
found in the world. The thrifty immi-
grant with small means need have NO fear
that he will fail to get the exact kind or
area of land that he fancies, either of prai-
RE or woodland or cleared woodlands,
adapted to the cultivation of almost any
species of fruits and vegetables; of every
thing that can be proftably raised in the
temperate zones, and in addition, the sugar
cane, the fig, the orange, the lemon and
other semi. tropical productions.
AS stock raising country, Louisiana
cannot be excelled. 1t has the grasses
eight or nine months in the year, and the
switch cane, which affords good nutrition
all the year round.
The forests abound with every variety
of timber, suitable for the manufacture OF
the finest furniture or for building pur-
poses, and there are innumerable millions
of wealth lying dormant in the broad areas
covered with pine, cypress, live oak, etc,
which, within the next few years, will
have increased one hundred fold in value.
In the last five years the lumber trade
has assumed proportions that few of our
people realize, and numerous extensive
saw mills in every section of the state are
shipping large quantities of sawed LUMBER
to distant states, where there exists con.
stantly growing demand.
In the matter of water communication,
it is singular but little known fact that,
with the exception of two or three, every
parish, or county as it is called In othef
states, is accessible to steamboats,.
The rainfall is ample for all purposes,
and such drouths as are of frequent occur.
renee in the western states are unheard OF
in Louisiana.
Our state is subjected to neither e1-
tremely cold nor extremely hot weather.
and it can be asserted without hesitation
that on the average ours is the best climate
in the whole of North America.
We have sought briefly to give an IDEA
of the superior advantages that our sta.e
offers to the immigrant and the capitalist
and to facilitate those who may wish to cor
respond directly with reliable persons IN
any part of Louisiana, about the price ana
quality to lands, etc the ReUaeao will Keep

Plans for the Coast Defense Vessels
Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-The Board of
Bureau Chiefs, consisting of Commodores
Schley and Sicard, Chief Constructor Will
son and Chief Engineer Melville, to which
Secretary Whitney referred Representa-
tive Thomas plans for coast defense ves-
sci yesterday concluded it's labors by agree.
ing to report the plans back to the Secre-
tary with a recommendation that they be
adopted by the department. The vessel
designed by Mr.. Thomas is of the monitor
type, 5000 tons burden, armed with one
dynamite gun, two ten inch guns. two tor
pedo tubes and one rapid firing gun. She
is to have nine feet freeboard, with pro-
vision for sufficient water ballast to sub
merge her in action three feet, thus giving
her but six feet of exposed board The
decks are flush, and the ten inch guns in
stead of being fired through holes in the
turret, are fred over the top as behind a
bulwark. The speed of the vessel is to be
seventeen knots. The members of the
board are of the opinion that the design
has great merit.

The Country in Want of War Ships.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Secretary OF
State has received cable advices from
Auckland confirming the news dispatches
from Berlin last night concerning battle
in Samoa between German forces and Ma
taafa's army, in which many were killed
and wounded. He refuses, however, to
give any details to the press.
1t is said at the navy department that no
more vessels have been ordered to Samoa.
but that there are three that could be sent
there if necessary. One of these is the
Trenton, now at Panama, and the other
two are the Vandalia and Mohican, now
fitting out at San Francisco. 1t is hardly
likely, however, that any of these vessels
could reach Samoa in time to be of any as
sistance to the Nipsic in the present crisis.
The United States steamer Atlanta, now
being repaired at the New York navy
yard, will probably be ordered to Port au-
Prince to relieve the Galena. as it is
deemed prudent to have that vessel leave
the infected neighborhood as soon as pos
sible.
According to the present policy of the
department, two naval vessels will cruise
in Haytian waters until the present revo-
luton is at an end, but no one vessel will
be exposed to the danger of fever conta-
gion for any length of time.
The Ossippee and Atlanta are said to be
the only available relief vessels. The o.
sippee has already sailed for Port-au Prince
and the Atlanta will probably follow as
soon as she can be gotten ready for sea.

1t has more miles of interior waterways
than any state in the Union, $500 square
miles of interior landlocked and navigable
lakes, 3771 miles of navigable rivers and
bayous, as well as 1860 miles of gulf coast,
placing nearly every plantation or farm
within easy distance of q stream open and
boats or other vessels run.
Il has mild, healthful, salubrious
climate. Work is possible in the open
field twelve months in the year. The rain
fall is always abundant and drouths I'M
known, and there are few failures of crops
from any cause. Diseases produced by
cold weather and sudden changes, such as
and catarrh, are rare, and in
many portions of the state unknown.
Children in particular thrive, cholera in
fantum, Group, scarlet fever and similar
diseases being almost unknown, even in
the cities, the consequence being larger
number of children to the population than
in almost any state in the Union.
With navigable streams traversing it in
all directions, with ample railroad facilities
and in easy reach of that great commercial
centre, New Orleans, which is in close
with the whole world, the
Louisiana farmer receives better price
for his produce than those in the interior
states, as the United States agricultural
reports will show.
Il has, principally in New Orleans, large
industries, cotton mills, oil
mills, foundries, sash and blind factories,
ETC., which furnish q constant demand for
Rll farm and forest products.
With streams filed with fish and oys
ters, forests with game, and with vege-
tables growing the entire year, the cost of
living is reduced to minimum.
Although the lands are as cheap as in

the male quartette consisting Of the
! Messrs. Munson, Fisher, Cheney, and

was very fine; and the address by
Gov. Hendee has, to say the least,
never been excelled here. 1t was very
interesting in that it differed from
those we have heretofore heard in
going into the causes of the war, the
history of the conflict before the war
on the field of battle commenced, the
difference in training and education of
the sections, the ideas which had been
inculcated by the leaders and the fruit
they brought forth. At the close the
speaker urged the Post to keep their
organization free from all political
matters, and to 60 on and complete
the work they had commenced. He
also expressed himself strongly in
favor of pension for all who served
during the war. or their surviving rel
atives who were dependent on them.
After the exercises were concluded,
the column marched to the west end
of Main Street and back to the G.. A.

the day that the town should hereafter
