JUDGE EDWARD SIMON.

Judge Edward Simon was born
in st. Martinville, and is a men,
Der of the bar. He is the son of
Edward Simon, a former Judge of
the Supreme Court, n native of
the city of Journal, Belgium, and
oi Eugenia Zerban, whose father
was from Philadelphia. The
Judge read law under Justice Sto-
ny of the Supreme Court of the
United States, and Simon Green
leaf, (author Of Greenleaf on Evil
dence), Cambridge, Mass, and fol-
lowed the lectures of the poet,
Longfellow, on literature. He
was appointed, by Governor jose
phi Walker, state attorney for the
18th judicial district soon after he
became a lawyer. Later the peo-
pie elected him judge of the same
district, and again to the judy
ship of the 3rd district, and re-
elected him in 1865 for four years
more, when he was Ousted by the
federal governor of the State. He
was a member of the Constitutional
Convention that framed the pre-
sent constitution, and the records
show that he took a prominent
part in all the measures brought
up for discussion.
In 1871, together with several
others. his name was mentioned
in an article in the Democratic or
gan, at New Orleans, as one fit to
he elected as candidate for Go
vernon. A few years ago. he was
an independent Democratic candi-
date for Congress, but withdrew
ed, for fear of endangering the
success of the regular nominee
against the Republicans.
Judge Simon engaged in sugar
planting after the war, in partner
ship with G. H. Walker, of Chica-
go, on an extensive scale. He pur-
sued this occupation for some
years, and then parted with his
interests.
Judge Simon is still pursuing
his profession of lawyer, and has
always had a fine practice. He is
a man of great learning, the acme
of courtesy, add his reputation as
a lawyer Of signal ability SO well
known, that his services are often
sought outside of his district.

Tue tndt III Is MUCH less common
than formerly, yet there is some
left in our Parish. Wood is used
for fine cabinet work, gun stock
and many other purposes.
Pignut Hickory. A large tree,
with small pear shaped fruit, nuts
bitterish. The wood is tough and
very valuable.
Nutmeg Hickory. This species
grows in low land. The fruit re-
sembles a nutmeg. Wood is valu-
able.
White Oak. The wood is CON-
pact and durable, employed in ship
building, in manufacturing, and
other purposes.
Overcup Oak. The wood is op-
en- and brittle, but valuable for
fuel.
Live Oak. The famous live oak
The wood is highly esteemed for
ship building, and is an evergreen.
A large size tree with spreading
branches.
Willow Oak. Remarkable for
its narrow, willow shaped leaves.
The wood is strong, but coarse
grained.
Water Oak. The leaves are per-
ennial, of variable form, but al
ways broadcast at the upper portion.
1t is quite impossible to enumerate
all our variety in the Oak trees.
Cotton wood. A large rapidly
grown tree. The wood is light
soft. much employed West for
building purposes.
White Cedar. This tree is found
in swamps. II rarely exceeds 20
to 80 feet in height, with straight
tapering trunk. The wood is light
fine grained, exceedingly durable,
easily worked.
Bald Cypress. This tree in our
rich, alluvial bottoms, frequently
grows to the height of 12O feet.
The roots often form large conical
excrescences, called "cypressknees'
which rise above the surface of the
soil to the height of 2 to 4 feet.
The wood is fine grained, soft. elias
tic, strong, and exceedingly durable.
Large quantities are made into
shingles. and marketed all over the
United States. Its foliage is deli
cate and beautiful. but is dropped
during winter: fer house tuilding
it is by far superior to any other
wood in this country.
Cabbage Palmetto. Grows i'll
sandy soil. The wood of this tree,
though extremely porous is prefer
able to any other for wharves. and
when constantly under water al
most imperishable.
This by no means exhausts the
lists of our forest trees, but suft-
cient is here named to show the
immense value of our forests. and,
except the cypress, it is nearly all
in its virgin state. 1t is here. wait
ing for capital to utilize it and
turn it into the many uses for
which it is adapted. In conclu-
sion we want to add a few words
about our famous cypress. 1t is
light, strong, easily worked and
neverrotting. These qualities max
es it very valuable. A. HITTER.

That thecc results can be realiz-
ed every man familiar with the in
dustry will admit: that they have
not been realized Ly many indivi-
duals seems to have been the re-
suit of insufficient capital in indi-
vidual hands, and necessarily sug-
gest5 the advantage of combination
under corporate management. We
can hardly expect to produce sugar
cane much cheaper than we do
now. but we can fairly expect to
get much greater yields than now
from our sugar canes, but this can
only be done at an outlay too large
for individual enterprise. and which
must necessarily be undertaken by
corporations. which corporations
should as far as practicable be
made up of the contributing Glen
tele. in order that theirs and their
factories interests should remain
largely identical.
1t will be noticed that the Mes
SENGERs report leaves out entirely,
the molasses output. That it can
be utilized as source of some pro-
fit is admitted. As an animal food

tory, ana an exhibition Of some kind here,
next fall, would be a success. THE OPTIC
does not advocate anything on so grand I
scale that the business men would be called
upon. to expend any great amount Of
money to produce it.
The street fair plan that was started
with SO much enthusiasm, seems to be Q
feasible scheme, and shouli not be allowed
to fall by the wayside. The vice. prest-
dents that were selected should appoint
the committees and report the same to the
president, T. B. Mills, and a meeting
should be called. 1t wouldn't cost any,
thing to do this, and q decision to do or
not to do, could be made. II the business
men do not care to 60 into the scheme, the
bicycle boys may conclude to take the
matter up, builds quarter mile track, and
hold a fair and bicycle tournament. At
any rate, let something be done.

Chamberlain-Warssn

Miss Mile Frances Walsen, daughter o.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Walsen, and Aller
Gunnison Chamberlain, were married,
Wednesday evening, at the home Of the
BRIDES parents, 1905, Grant avenue, Den
yer. The ceremony was performed at {
O'Clock, the Rev. David Utter officiating,
Owing to the severe illness of Mrs. Walsen,
who has been confined to her room for four
months, the wedding party assembled at
her bedside and only the immediate rela
ives of the two families were present. In
the group were tine parents and grand
parents Of the groom, the brides sister,
Mrs. A. Levy, of Walsenburg, and the
members of the Walsen household.
After the ceremony a wedding supper
was served and Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain
left On the 7 o'clock train for Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, whore they will spend sew
eral weeks. On their return they will
visit Denver for a month, after which
their home will be in Black Hawk or
Boulder, near both Of which places Mr..
Chamberlain has interests. ss
The bride, who is a niece Of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. H. Sporleder, of this city, and is quite
we'll known and popular here, has been
a Of the most popular society girls Of
Denver, and carries. with her the good
wishes of a great many devoted friends.
The groom, who is a son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
William J. Chamberlain. is very popular
in Denver, his father being the we'll known
smelter man. II it had not been for the
illness Of Mrs. Walsen, the wedding would
have been a brilliant social event, as no
residents Of Denver have a wider circle Of
friends in Colorado thar Fred Walsen and
his family. This fact was shown In the va
riety and vssue Of the presents received by
the young couple.
