The lumber merchant who ignores
homo carpenters and goes away from
home to hire labor is not entitled to the
best consideration from the people of his
town. 1t is the duty of every person re-
siding in q community to, as far as pos
sible, reciprocate the many benefits
which the community has conferred up
on him, and the individual who fails in
this regard is not endowed with that
public spirit which characterizes g good
citizen. This lumber merchant is con-
structing a cottage and half of his labor
is from come other point. Buy your
lumber OF somebody who is some good
to you and the town

The work of excavating a canal for
utilizing the water of Humboldt Lake
for irrigating purposes has begun in
earnest, The New Era says Three hum
dred feet of canal have already been cut
ranging in depth from seven feet to
twenty feet and in width twenty two
feet at the top to eight feet at the bot
tom. A dam has been placed in the
Say slough to keep as much water as
possible away from the workmen while
running the canal north from the slough.
The lake front is dotted with cabiIs,
and a number of claimants have carried
lumber through the water to islands to
build houses by which to hold 100 acres
when the lake is drained.

Of Interest to Secret Societies.

The Grand Lodge Of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows of Kansas levied a
per capita tax on members of the order
within its jurisdiction to maintain an
Odd Fellows Home. Reno Lodge re-
fused to pay the tax and the case was
taken into the Courts. The District
Court at Topeka, Judge Hazen presid-
ing, has rendered a decision sustaining
the action of the Grand Lodge. The
Court holds that the Sovereign Grand
Lodge is authorized to make the levy
and that the Grand Lodge OF Kansas has
a right to fix the amount Of the amount
of the assessment.
The decision is of national interest es
it not only affects the Order of Odd Fell
lows but all secret societies, as it estab-
fishes the right of Grand Lodges to levy
assessments and fix the amount per cap
ita.

J. w. Freeman of Kaiser and Free
man, Geo. Webb of Webb and Small,
D. M. Wightman and Mr.. Warner were
in on Saturday delivering their cattle re-
Gently sold to Louis Dean. An inspec-
ton Of the cattle would convince any one
that Churchill can make choice beef.
In this lot of about 300 head which
cleans up the cattle there and all but
one lot, which was not raised there goes
as extra. It is too bad the citizens who
have been 30 energetic in producing such
elegant boyines could not realize wisely
but with more encouragement for silver
a home market will be had and there
will be q better market for our good
neighbors.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. York
was the scene of a very pleasant sur
prise party last Saturday evening. As
early as 7 80 the surprisers gathered
at the library and wended their way
to the home of the parties they were
about to surprise. To say Mrs. York
was surprised would be putting it very
lightly no: having had the least ink
ling that such a lovely evening with
friends was in store for her upon the
18th anniversary of her marriage.
Presently sweet strains of music
were heard upon the porch. The SER
enaders were from Mr.. B. McLane's
Reception Orchestra and consisted of
Messrs. Fuller, Pardue and Castanet.
The music was simply grand; they
entered the parlor and favored the
party with several of their choicest Sc
lections. After Mrs. York had quite
regained her composure, tables were
arranged for a sociable time at pro-
gressive enchre. Playing was indul-
ged in until IL 80 when it was found
that Mrs. J. F. George had carried
away the Ace prize, a lovely cake and
Mrs. J. H. Whited had the lucky
number for the progressive prize an
other beautiful cake. Mrs. George
Macpherson was lucky enough to win
the BOBBY prize, a glass hat full of
t%ooth-picks. Covers were laid for the
guests, dainty cake and ice-cream were
served; a toast was called for when
one Of the party arose and in place of
u toast presented to Mrs. York, with
the compliments of the ladies invited,
a lovely cut glass berry dish encased
in a silver stand with a handle and an
elegant berry spoon handsomely en-
graved with the letter Y. Mrs. York
expressed her, thanks very gracefully.
The following invitations were is
sued for the affair: Mr.. and Mrs. J. F.
George, J.H. Whited, w. w. Geery,
A. T. Clippenger, E. Shepley, L. Het-
tenhausen. L. Voorhees,, Herbert Esden
E. Fowler. T. Fitzgerald, G. Macpher-
son, j. Cunningham ]. Goldie, Misses
B. Valley and J. Lundy, Mrs. Sterling
Mr.. Ward Goodwin and 7. G. Herman.
Shortly after midnight the guests
took their departure after wishing Mr..
and Mrs. York and their sweet little
daughter Myrtle many more happy
evenings as happy as the one they
had all had the pleasure OF enjoying
| with them. X.

The Passing of Whiskers.

A very old woman, carrying a large
boquet of roses, stopped in front of a
Western Addition barber-shop yesterday
and peered over her spectacles at the
sign on the window. 1t read:
"Whiskers dyed"
The old lady opened the door, hobbled
into the shop and handing the astonish-
ed barber the boquet, said:
clay this on his graves. F. Post.

An Important Decree Against Saloon
Keepers by the Head of the Church.
COLUMBUS, O., July 25.-Bishop John
A. Watterson of Columbus has just re-
turned from the Catholic Summer
School at Plattsburg, N. Y. He says
the decision of Mgr. Satolli has not up
to the present moment been given to
the press, and consequently comments
upon it, some of which are misinter,
pretations, have come from surmise
more than anything else. The letter
of the Apostolic delegate is addressed,
through Bishop WattersOn, to the sec
rotary of those who appealed from the
bishops regulations concerning Catho-
lie societies in their relation, not only
to saloon keepers, but to all engaged
in the liquor traffic. 1t is wider than
diocesan in its influence, for it attirms
the general principle on which bish-
OPP acts in such things, and approves of
its application in this particular mat
ter, and says every Catholic of good
must hold that what bish-
OPP Watterson has decreed, for his own
diocese is for the greater good of reli-
gion, and of every Catholic Society.
On February "a last one of the Catho
lie societies in Columbus appealed
from special decision of the bishop
N its regard.
On March 15 the Apostolic delegate
affirmed the bishops action, and, not
lot satisfied with this, some of the

DEAR LEADER:-We have just had a
Prohibition election and deeming that
subject of interest to your readers, give
you report of the same. One year
ago the most hopeful of us would not
have claimed % per cent. of the voters
Of st. Landry as favoring Prohibition,
Six months ago we would not yet have
made such claim. The police jury
ordered an election for the 18th of Ju-
". To our amazement the whisky
men went to work might and main,
free whisky flooded the parish, barbe-

cues were heard of on all sides. Speak
ing, speaking, speaking; what an ex-
travagant waste of words there was
1t is rumored on the streets that
money was furnished by st. Louis Gin
cinnati and New Orleans whisky mer
for this patriotic campaign. We heard
from these lovers of personal liberty
that whisky was the best thing in this
world-that Jesus Christ was a tipplel
and commanded others to do likewise
that without it the Doctors could not
practice, for it is the best medicine
known the world over; they said moth
ing of the number of patients it
brought to the doctors); that our par
ish would be bankrupt without it lit
brings in four thousand and odd dol
lars and takes out by reason of crime
etc, six thousand some odd dollars
1t would tire your patience were | to
attempt to enumerate the startling and
absurd statements made by these sup
porters of = 4 = Suffice it to say they
worked early and late indefatigably.
The Prohibitionists were not organic
ed and made no particular effort to
carry the election. When the votes
were counted out we were most agree
ably surprised to find that 50 per cent
of the white vote was cast for Prohibi
ton! \ few interruptions white men
had bought up the almost solid negro
vote for few dollars and drinks.
Does not this speak volumes? The in
telligence of this parish voted for Pro
hibition. All who could be convinced
by reason voted according to reason,
but behold our parish must be govern
ed by few men who have money in
terests at stake; and yet this is gov
eminent 'By the people, for the PEG
pie, and of the people!'-'Attend."
Another election comes off It's said
in January, and white supremacy
leagues are being organized all over
the parish. We are almost certain to
win. Now we ask in amazement where
did all this Prohibition sentiment
come from? OF course people have
been seeing the evil effects of whisky
for ages, but somehow that never
stirred them to try to stop it. a few
noble w. C. T. u women came among
us and dropped a little leaven into
the lump. We who live here have
kept it from dying out. We've worked
it according to our several abilities,
but had no idea that our seemingly
hopeless work would be crowned with
such success and against such odds!
We are filled with hope and ere anoth-
er year rolls around every grog shop
in the parish will be closed.
The saddest part of the election was
the sight of men raised by pious, pray
ing, Christian mothers, Methodists,
and Catholics who went
to the polls and voted for and worked
might and main for whisky The
mothers at home were praying for the
success of Prohibition, the sons voting
for whisky. Don't you think they
would have been ashamed to do so had
their mothers, sisters and sweethearts
been present. OPELoUsAs.

Killed at East Sullivan Quarry

William Ash, of West Bay, was killed
at the new stone quarry of Sidney Doyle
at East Sullivan on Tuesday of last week.
Ash was crushed between stone that
was being raised and another stone. He
died of his injuries five hours later. Ash
leaves a widow and three children, the
younges a baby of six months.
This is the first accident that has
occurred at this quarry, which was but
recently opened.
