than now in consequence of this de-
mand for timber, which is mainly
owing to the extension of the road.
In addition to the rich timber
lands of Bossier, Benton has also
been made the shipping point for
about $500 bales of cotton during
the year; Willow Chute, about 5000
bales. In addition, the farmers are
enabled now, in consequence of the
railroad, to ship their cotton seed to
Shreveport, and realize five or six
dollars ton.
There is now a good market for all
timbered lands in North Louisiana,
and all products, Much foreign cap
ital has been brought into this sec
ton within the past few years, and
considerable immigration flowed in.
In addition, the road has opened q
market for the shipment of cattle to
Texas points-notably, to Ft. Worth,
Waco, Commerce and Sherman. The
people of these sections have, of late,
become, large planters of cotton, and
purchase their beeves elsewhere.
North Louisiana is good cattle sec
ton, especially Bossier, and recent
heavy shipments of cattle have been
made from t.is section to Texas.
Indications point to a more pros
porous future of this rich section
traversed by the Cotton Belt, within
the next few years. The timber sup
| ply seems to be inexhaustible, and
there are other natural resources
which will be sought by capital and
Industrious Immigrants.
