Love Defined by ssTrump."
Poverty PoINT, Sept. 10, '99.


Editor Collar Chronicle:
Having occasion to visit your town
on Tuesday, / was asked by your po-
lite post master and your efficient
town marshal with the blonde mus
tache, to define ''love," it's symptoms
and it's cure. Not having time just
then to do the subject justice, l now
comply with their request, and trust
the remedy may prove effective, and
thereby save them an expensive trip
to Hot Springs.
Love:-A complaint of the heart,
growing out of an inordinate long
ing after something difficult to OBJ
tain. 1t attacks persons of both
sexes, generally between the ages of
fourteen and thirty-some have been
known to have it at the age of sixty.
Symptoms:-Absence of mind; Civ
ing things wrong names; calling tears
nectar, and signs zephyrs; gazing ON
the moon and stars; loss of appetite;
neglect OF business; a loathing for all
things save ONE; blood-shot eyes.
and a constant desire to sigh.
Ehecte:-A strong head ache; pulse
high; eloquenteyes; sleeplessness, and
all that sort of thing. At times the
imagination bright, bowers of roses,
winged cupids, and perfumed angels;
and then, again, oceans OF despair,
tortures and troubles without end.
Cure:-Get married. If that don't
cure you, it will at least open your
eyes, and give You better education
than you can possibly obtain at the
Normal school.
have ''been thar"-and so has the
editors of the Chronicle and Demands.
Youry truly, TRUMP.

Sunday Dissertation.

To the Christidn Mem and Women and
their Synspathizers in Rapides and
Other Parisles:
II is announced that q Fair" is to be
given in Alexandria at an early date.
which will open its gates on days inclu-
ding Sunday
We feel it our solemn duty, very res
pectfully, to enter our protest against
what we consider violation of the Lords
Day. as 1t is an offense to our deepest re-
ligous sentiments. We are deeply
grieved that we do not receive the respects
OF the promoters of the "Fair." As we
have on every other similar occasion pro-
tested in vain for better treatment. it now
appears that there is but one recourse
open to us-aD appeal to our fellow
Christians.
We believe that the "Fairs" OF the past
few years have been, each and all. a dis
tinct injury to the moral and the financial
welfare OF our community. and have him
dered the income to US OF investments.
For the futher reason then that we seek
the material welfare of our community,
we believe that firm stand should be
taken against practices that trample nm.
der foot the religious sentiments Of num-
bers or our people.
We desire to be understood that We are
not opposed in any way to agricultural
and industrial fairs, but are heartily in
favor OF such enterprises ne advance the
material interests Of the country. In the
organization of such enterprises, how
ever, we are compelled to consider the
moral interests involved. When the pro-
prietiee Of the Lords Day are violated:
when that day il scandalized; when the
religious sentiment IT every Christian in
tho city and parish is violated: when
things ore done contrary to the very
genius OF our government: then the en-
terprise is detrimental to the community.
and ought to be opposed.
In consideration OF what is abovs v,;.-
ten we appeal to the Christian peoDle OF
kapides and adjoining parishes to sup-
port ms IN Or protest against the wrong
tnat 10 proposed to be done to us and to
the community. and we ask that they re-
fuse al conntenance OF this proposed
.fair. " not attending it on any duy AZ
Their protest against its being opened
upon Sunday.
We respectfully ask the newspapers Of
kapides parish and OF all neic .
parishes to publish this D ess !
appeal.

save THE FORESTS.

n T the instance of the Water and Forest Society
I \ two bills have been proposed in the Legisla-
ture and should be passed. One is to create
the office of Irrigation Commissioner, to serve with
out salary and to cooperate with the United States
Geological Survey the location of reservoir sites
for the storage OF the food waters OF the State in
such situation as to permit their best distribution to
serve the purposes OF mining and agriculture. The
Geological Survey has a Federal appropriation
amounting to $4,000, which, added to like sum ex-
pended by the State will efficiently locate storage
system and survey its scheme of distribution, that
enterprise under proper legal restriction is ready
and develop any part OF the system the 10
cation will be found ready and the best lines of dis
tributon laid. Surely no argument, beyond its OBJ
vious necessity should be needed to secure the pas
sage of this bill The Federal Government will not
enter upon the work without State cooperation, and
the latter must be official. The Federal appropria-
ton may be spent anywhere that such official CO.
operation is offered, that California must act
to secure it. 1t will cost the State but triie; no
salaried office is connected with it and official drain
upon the taxpayers is proposed by it. The object
lesson is before The valley lands in the dusty
agony of series OF dry years. while heavy snowfall
covers the mountains This will melt in the summer
sum- creating floods in the streams which will flow
wasteully the Such circumstances will oc-
cur again and again and with ample preparations for
storage and distribution all the surplus water will be
saved to irrgate the millions of acres of valley lands
which, in such years, will be fruitless without it.
The other bill proposed by the society is of less
importance and is for the same purpose of securing
without cost the cooperation of the Federal Govern
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-02-25

through the forestry division of the Agricultural
Department. This bill authorizes the Governor TO
appoint Forestry Commission of five members, 10
without salary and at no expense whatever 10
the State They to comprehensively examine the
situation OF forests and report bills Tor laws 10
secure the economic harvesting of timber mt Tor the
market, and to preserve for future use the young
crop of trees They will report the means needed TO
protect our forests from fires, which now destroy IN
one year as much merchandise timber as commerce
uses in five years At the close OF its two years
term and after making its report this Forestry Con
mission shall and determine that no salarieo
and costly position terminate in it. 1t IS De
leved that the Governor will have trouble IN md
ing five gentlemen in the State whose interest and en-
thusasm in the subject will make them willing to I'M
dertake this high service
The Legislature should be admonished to the
speedy passage of this bill by existing conditions The
abnornay dry weather is causing the spread OF fires
now in the mountains The heavily timbered country
living between the forks of the American River is now
on fire in dozen places, from opposite Auburn 10
far beyond Colfax and up to the snow line lhere
has not been rain enough to wet the fallen leaves ana
down timber and if heavy rainfall does not occur be-
tween now and May the present fires will follow the
retreat of the and the greatest destruction
ever known. While it is true that the proposed com
mission cannot this year meet and subdue these fires,
they furnish it opportunity to study the conditions
suited to meet and prevent like destruction in the
future
These two bills introduced late in the session,
but they of such importance that they should pass
by general consent and enable the Governor to
promptly use the authority they confer
The forestry division OF the Agricultural Depart
ment promises complete cooperation with the For
estry Commission, which assures plan OF campaign
that will finally save Our mountain forests from de-
structon.
