FRIDAY EVENING, December G. 1901.
A Smooth Bore Cannon.

Henry White Cannon, President OF
the Chase National Bank OF New
York, and a director OF the Great
Northern and Oregon Railway and
Navigatio' companies, has been visit
ing the principal cities of the Sound
the past week and left Saturday for
San Francisco He is, likewise, a
large ock-holder in the Northern Sc
curities Co., TIE keystone OF the trust
archway lately erected by Morgan and
others, that spans the continent.
In late interview, published in a
Tacoma paper, he is proclaimed to be
one OF the ablest men in the United
States on the matter Of finance, by the
obsequious reporter.
He declares that the Northern Sc.
curitics Company has no existence
outside of New York and New Jersey,
and that as the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific railways will
maintain separate Offices and different
officers, there is nothing to fear
from consolidation OF interests or an
abatement of competitive operation.
1t will require, however, much more
than this inferential suggestion to
convince people that monopoly of
two or more railroads may not be
maintained with headquarters in New
York or New Jersey, and that too
through the use of two sets of offices
and officers.
Mr.. Cannon endeavors to make
his point more clear by this conclu-
sion:
The proposition is just this: II man
owns u suit OF clothes, a watch aud a
horse and wagon, there is no violation
of law moral or otherwise if he should
become the owner of another suit of
clothes, watch and horse and wagon.
The disingeniousness of this propo.
sition strikes one as exceedingly Pc
culiar, coming from one who is her
aided as zone Of the best men in
finance in the United States"
If the man who owned the watch
made corner on time and subjected
his neighbor to much expense to as.
certain the exact hour of the day;
which had. by a concentration of cir
cumstances, become an object of para.
mount interest; if the possession of q
second suit of clothes deprived his
ncighbor Of suit to wear; if the own
ership OF q second horse deprived him
OF nag to ride, or if q duplicate oil
wagons restrained his friend on the
farm from marketing his products, the
parallel would be complete. With
however, the most prominent feature
Of corporate combination wanting, the
comparison is exceedingly weak, moi
to say silly. It is the capacity for ex'
acting extortionate demands by the
dire alternative of ruin to the pro.
Queer that makes governmental pro
lection necessary to guard the inter.
ests of the weak.
1.-THE Northern Securities Company
has no better advocate than Mr.. Can.
non, nor more sound premises than
those presented by him on which ia
rest their cause, they might as well
come out Of ambush and meet the is.
sue in fair battle.

Survey of the Route VIII
Shortly be/Made. Other
l"te'jf'Os Details.

The proposed electric road
between New iberia and Berwick Is
likely to be started IN the
Spring.
The rights of way and franchises
have all been acquired, and Gen.
Myles said yesterday that soon
after the Carnival he would 90 over
with surveyors and survey the
route, and then the contracts would
be let. There will probably be three
contracts.
The road Will be about forty fl re
miles long, and may be run from
one power house, although the
distance Is rather long. The cost
will be something like four hundred
thousand dollars or four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, and the
road will be easy TO build over that
country. The promoters believe
that the population is large enough
to make the road pay, as similar
roads pay in the north and east,
though there is not the same popula-
ton to draw on here. The resi-
dence belt between New Iberia and
Berwick Is almost continuous, and
the road would have a large
number of plantations and
lumber mills contiguous to draw
from.
Colonel Lewis S. Clarke of st.
Mary, said last night that he did
not know whether the population
would make the road pay In the
Teche country, but IN Ohio, where
he had some property interests, a
similar road between two cities
twenty miles apart was coinlng
money, and another was being butt
between the same cities. The
electric roads were taking business
away from the steam railroads right
along. If power house was needed
every twenty five miles, electric
roads would be cheaper than steam
roads -PIcayune.

Will Develope the Resources

Ten Steel Barges now Build
ing, to be used in Trans
porting the Salt,
Plaquemine Locks will be
Opened by June 30th.

The New Orleans P.oayune Of
last Sunday publishes the followIr g
account of interest to this section of
louisiana
"The development cf the Belle
Isle Salt Mines is gong rapidly
forward, under the management of
the company OF Chicago capitalists
,ho have control of the property,
and they propose to make these
mines a very large factor in the salt
market. &. III. Randle OF Chicago,
who Is at the head Of the enterprise,
is III the city. lie has Just returned
frons a visit 10 the Belle Isle
property, and Is very enthusiastic
over the prospects. lie was accom-
panied by M. j. Moore, one
Of the directors Of the COM
pany.
A Picayune man saw Mr.. Randle
at the St. Charles Hotel last night
and asked him what he thought
of the prospects Of the Louisiana
salt in the markets of the
world.
"Splendld," was his reply. 81
am convinced that with the trans
portatlon question out of the way,
no mines or wells in the world can
compete with Louisiana salt. This
State produces the best rock salt in
the world. 1t is over % per cent
pure, the color is perfect, its
solubility is excellent, and there is
no quality in which it is
deficient.
"We are solving the freight
question by building line of steel
barges. Only ten will be built at
the start, and that number are now
under construction. These barges
will be towed through the
Atchatalaya, the Red River and the
Mississippi river. Their capacity
will not be very large, but sufficient
for the commencement Of the enter
PRISE, and the number will be
increased as the business demands
them. The river, we are assured,
will be in condition, with locks
complete, and ready for navigation
by June 3Oth, and By that time we
will be towing out one thousand
barrels per day, and we can put
it on the market cheaper than the
evaporated salt of Syracuse and
Warsaw, or the Seneca lake wells.
As for European salt, which has
been largely imported of late by
U Ee packers, that will be out of
tn market. Louisiana is destined
t take the lead of the country in
salt production.

lated for securing such good plays
for New Iberia as they have done
during the present season, and
there are number yet booked to
play at that popular playhouse be-
fore the close of the season that
are known to be first-class in their
respective lines, among them
being the following: ''The Hottest
Coon in Dixle,n ''The Forever and
Ever Devils Auction, "The Watch
on the Rhine" 'My Friend From
Indla," Lee, the Hypnotist. The
plays that have already been here
this season which deserve especial
mention are the following: "The
Evil Eye" "When We Were
Twenty -One,' "Other Peoples
Money" Mistakes Will Happen"
''The Fast Mall" "Quo Vadis,'
"AL. G.. Fields Minstrels," ''The
Telephone Girl" ''The Man o.
Warsman,' sThe Black Patti
Troubadours, "The Secret Enemy"
''The Prisoner of Algiers," "The
Empire Vaudeville Company"
.'Gorton's Original New Orleans
Minstrels " The attendance was
quite small at some of these
performances, but of late we are
pleased to note that the attend
ance has materially increased, and
we are of the opinion that this is
due to the fact that there are not
many boys that congregate about
the Opera House and beat theil
way up after the commencement Of
the performance and then make 9
great amount of unnecessary noise
during the progress of the perfor.
nance While the season is neal
over, there are several first class
