who is also a large land owner on
Cane river. The Doctor said:
eyes, the Locks would give us
certainly the freight rates now en-

We next called on Mrs. A. q.
Lewis, who has lately opened a
good mercantile business in the
L'herisson house on Washington
street, and who though new COM
mer in our midst, seems alive to
every progressive move for the in
forests of our town. She said:
"This is one of the most inter-

accomplished, would certainly be
of wonderful benefit to our town.
We certainly ought \to try to get

Mr.. 2. F. L'herisson came in
about this time, and after he had
understood the matter, said:

business and planting interests.
Judge G. H. Levy of our LIST
Justice Court, and a prominent

Mr.. j. c. Trichol, Jr., Cashier

Mr.. Z. L. McClung, manager
OF the Natchitoches Drug Co., and
a progressive citizen, said:
81 know it would open a fine
country to tho trade of this town
which has been practically cut off
for Q years. There is no doubt but
that it would be great thing for
Cane river famers and for this
town."
Mr.. Chas. Inter, the Dry Goods
man on Front street, familiarly
known as Cheap John," said
"There's no doubt 1t would give
us better freights and help the far
mers on Cane river got off their
crops. l would be glad to sec it. !"
| Mr.. Emile Breda, salesman in

the city, and the most prominent

Judge j. E. Breda, a prominent
lawyer and taxpayer Of our town,
was seen, and said:
II think it the finest kind of a

dria, now enjoys"
| Our good old friend, Mr.. Jean
Marie Freschede, who owns large

Mr.. A. M. DIETRICH, the clever

| MIR. 7. j. Johnson, the energct-

! We next called on our efficient
Clerk Of Court, Mr.. H. M. Hyams,
who said:
''If it is practical, | think it
would be d great thing for the peo-
pie of this town and everybody on
Cane river. [ have spoken of it
before, and have always favored
it,"
| We next called on the energetic
Insurance and Real Estate firm of
Lemee & Tucker, and found Mr.,
A. Z. Lemee, tho affablc senior
member at his desk. Ho said:
Il am heartily in favor of it,
and would like to sec the govern
ment take hold of the move.'
Zone of the many ways in which
it would benefit our people is that
ll-the-year navigation would en-
courage railroad building to and
by our town."
! We called in at the big whole
sale and retail firm Of H. Katie
& Bro, at their beautiful and COM
modious store on Front street, Mr..
H. Katie, the senior member Of
the firm, said:
"Why, my dear sir, if we could
got a river here it would be the
greatest thing in the world for the
people. 1t would give us rates in
transportation that would be the
making of the town. BY all means
let's have it."
That prosperous and intelligent
young Dentist, Dr.. E. j. Harrison,
was seen and said:
81 think it would be q fine thing.
Let the government build it, and
there's no enterprise that could be
gotten up which would be of SO
great benefit to the country gene
rally"
Mr.. C. L. Deverenae, the clever
manager of the Natchitoches Live
ry, Feed and Sale Stables, when
approached said:
II think it will be q fno thing
sure, to have navigation in Cane
river the year round"
Mr.. G. W. Adams, proprietor Of
the popular ''Adams' House" and
of the Adams Livery Stables was
aecn, and said:
81 haven't given the matter much
thought, but imagine it would ben
eft the farmers on Cane river"
We next interviewed the popu-
lar insurance man, Mr.. U. P.
Breazeale, who is also Parish Su-
perintendent of schools, from whom
we gathered great deal of infor-
nation about former efforts in this
matter, and the cause of their fail
ure. He SAID in part:
''It is a good idea if it can be
done. The matter was agitated
once before and carried so far as
to secure superficial survey, but
was abandoned by our congressman
on the request OF citizens on the
lower part of the river, through
fear OF an overflow. hardly
think their fears well-founded, and
would be glad to see the river
made navigable."
For want Of space we must stop
here for this issue, but will con.
tinue these interviews in our next,
and after . few weeks hope to see
the agitation assume the form of
petitions to congress.

California Mortgage aud Loan Co.
Turns Property Over to Sheriff

San Diego, Cal. March 10.-The Cali
fornia Mortgage Loan and Trust company
of this city has assigned its property to
the sheriff for the benefit of its creditors
without preference. The action was taken
on account of the shrinkage in the value
of its holdings. The company was organ
lied in 1888. The officers are: f. l.. Puls-
fer, President; H. j. Swain, Vice President
and Gen. Manager and Charles A. Taft
secretary. Manager Swain said that books
show assets of S3i0 900, but owing to the
shrinkage of values the assets are probably
not worth more than $3.50, 600. The liza
bilites are $500, 900.

Speaking of this Russian medical mon
omaniac brings 20 mind the fact that
Russia has just taken her first census
All the figures hitherto quoted on the
population, the religion, and the classi-
fication thereof i'm the Russian empire
have been mere guess work. True, Peter
the Great established special kind of
census for the serf population, which was
continued at irregular intervals down to
1888 its object being TO determine the
poll tax formerly payable TO the state by
the owners of serfs. But with that excep-
tion there has never been any numbering
of the people in accordance with the re-
quircments of modern statistical science.
lt has been one-day census and was
carried into effect on Feb 10. Inasmuch
as 80 per cent. of the population of
Russia can neither read nor write the
labor of enumeration has been exception
ally onerous.
