The TALBuT GETS AWAY
Seasons Why She Did Not Take a Full Cargo
Eo-th

The oil tank vessel Enoch Talbot has
completed loading and has by this time
probably started for San Francisco.
She takes in Her hold only little over
1900 barrels of OIL it being found i'm
possible to load her to the full capacity,
as she was so deep in the water as to
cause fear that she would bump a
hole in her bottom if sunk any deeper.
There were nearly 1000 barrels left
which could not be taken aboard, and
which will have to wait for the next
trip
The water at the Redondo wharf was
too shallow to permit of her receiving a
full cargo. At Santa Monica it was
feared she would knock hole in her
side or tear the wharf to pieces if an at
tempt was made to load there and the
San Pedro bar is too shallow to permit
passing over with big cargo. Thus
she takes north nearly 1900 barrels less
than was anticipated.
The price of oil remains stationary,
but the demand is brisk and holders are
disposed to hang on for a raise. How
ever. it is probable that nothing will be
done until fter the meeting of the direc-
tors of the oil exchange next Monday.

Diamond sequins are among recent novel

most brilliant effect. The new shapes in
large hats have the briTs wider at the sides
than in front, are worn somewhat tilted
over the forehead, and are decidedly be-

shell and gold embroidery in front, and

Not an Official record.

In the Demands of last week we notice
interpolated in the proceedings of the
police jury lot of matter that has not
been recorded in the book by the secre-
tary. Also we notice that the Demands
does not contain true record Of all the
proceedings, many sentences being
changed from the language in which they
are recorded, while some of the proceed
ings are omitted, notably the paragraph
ordering" the sheriff to use the Demands
for advertising. The law is that the par
ish printer shall publish "all the official
proceedings" and before paying Mr..
Dunn for his work the police jury should
require him to publish their proceedings
correctly, and not allow him to edit and
publish such garbled parts as may suit
his liking. The three columns which he
heads Official Proceedings of the Police
Jury of Grant Parish" are not what they
purport to be, and unless they are pub
lished as the law requires. the police jn-
rors will be recreant to their duties if
they pay for the publication. without re-
quiring him to publish than all over in
official form.
Also, we learn from Mr.. Dunn, that as
secretary of the board he overlooked and
neglected to record or publish the ordi-
nance levying tax for this year, but
says he will publish it this week and see
that it goes in it's proper place in the re-
cord

Some Ofiicial Foolishness.

After awarding the parish printing to
the Demands last week, and blindly re-
fusing the offer of the CHRONICLE, to do
the scork at legal rates, Gust exactly as
it was awarded to j. E. DUNN and hare
the entire amount placed in the school
fund, the police jury went on in its AFRO
gance of brief power and and passed the
following:
On motion by Mr.. Watson, the sheriff
is ordered to publish all official matters
in which the parish Is interested, especi-
ally tax sales, delinquent taxes. and notice
of taxes due, and official notices, in the
official organ of the police jury, the Peo-
party the police jury has the legal right
to designate the journal in which such
publications appear, and under such le-
gal right they do hereby order the sheriff
of Grant parish to publish all such mat
ter in which the parish has interest in
the official organ of the parish, The Peo-
pies Demands.
The law empowering the police jury to
select a printer expressly stipulates that
he shall publish call the official proceed
ings OF the police jury and such notices
as may be required by law to be publish
ed by the police jury" Now, the law
does not require the police jury to have
anything to do with any of the matters
in the above paragraph, and it is purely
bit OF presumption on their part to as
sumo that they are the parties interested
and have the legal right to say where
such publications shall be made. To
the contrary, the law plainly takes the
matter out of the hands of the police
jury, when it says that defendant is to
have first right to select the newspaper
in which advertisement is to be made,
and then plaintiff, if applied for within
three days after seizure, or if neither OF
them select then the sheriff or officer
charged with carrying out the proceed
ings shall select" This being tho case,
the police jury has absolutely no control
over the sheriff's advertising, except
such notices cas- may be required by law
to be published by Them" and be should
ignore their assumption Of authority and
over him.

We favor the admission of the Terri
tories of New Mexico and Arizona into
the Union as States, and we favor the
early admission of all the Territories hav-
ing the necessary population and resource
es to entitle them to statehood, and
while they remain Territories we hold
that the officials appointed to administer
the government of any Territory, togeth-
or with the District of Columbia and
Alaska, should be bona fide residents of
the Territory or District in which their
duties are to be performed. The Demo
cratic party believes in home rule, and
that all public lands of the United States
should be appropriated to the establish
ment of free homes for American citizens.
