Southern Louisiana.
EDITORS DEMocRAT:

EDITORS DEMOCRAT:
A number of prominent citizens of
Delaware county have interests in
South Western Louisiana. The latest
from there will be of interest to them
and their friends and should interest US
all. During the past ten years thou.
sands of acres of the prairies of South
Western Louisiana have been bought
by Iowa people at q cost of 10 cents to
five dollars per acre, so much of 1t that
northern people own the country.
Sixteen years ago Maurice Brien, Of
this, Delaware, County took from here
his Deering Irvine binding harvester
and made it success In the rice fields,
1t being the first modern machine ever
put in rice field, and revolutionized
the industry. There are 1000 machines
now used in the rice belt, being the
only rice fields in the world using, or
that can use modern improved machin-
cry.
Seven years ago the first irriyating.
canal was made, now 500 miles of main
canal and 1000 miles of lateraIs. Each
mile can irrigate 1000 acres, flooding in
A. d. 1901, 100000 acres. About four
years ago wells were first used to irrl-
gate by flooding, now 500 are In use,
flooding $4,000 acres. Having the
largest reservoir Of irrlgating water in
the world to be tapped ut depth of
zoo feet and rising to the surface to be
pumped with common suction pun D,
and to add 10 this we have found in the
same belt the largest reservoirs of oil
(Petroleum) in the world. Do you
wonder whtr say those prairie lands
near timber, with good roads, sea
board market, health resort, long
growing season, enterprising people,
with vast borders of merchsntable tim
Der, with double irrigation, natural and
artificial, the largest mines of pure rock
salt and of sulphur on earth and Just
now to crown 1t all we have struck oil
at depth of IL to 1900 feet, that send a |
column 217 feet into the air at an esti.
mated rate of $4,000 to 10000 barrels |

"The testatrix," said Mr.. Corwin,
died In Brooklyn some years ago, and
1t devolved upon me, as her lawyer, to
ind and probate her will. In q trunk I
found an envelope containing mum:
Der OF very small pieces Of paper, on
both sides Of which was writing. In.
side the flap of that envelope was writ:
ten, This will is all here In tho hand
writing and with the signature Of the
testatrix.
"You must remember that these
scraps Of paper were very small In
deed. The paradox is this-that the
extreme smallness of the scraps was
the evidence that this torn paper was
the last will and testament of the de-
ceased. The law recognizes tearing as
one method by which testator may
revoke q will. and the intention to ne,

tears one. But II a contrary intention
can be proved by another act done at
the same time then the4earing of the
will does not revoke 1t. Now, in this
case the words This will is all here
clearly showed that the testatrix meant
those scraps Of paper to be regarded
as her will. It remained to prove that
she SO meant at the time when she tore
the paper. II she had torn the paper
at one moment, intending by that net
to revoke the will and had subsequent
" written those words without wit
nesses or other legal Formally, mean.
Ing to revive the force Of the revoked
will, then the latter act was legally In
valid and the will could not be pro-
bated. Surrogate Abbott took this
view.
"My contention was that the writing
on the flap of the envelope was in tech.

gesta as the tearing Of the will. l or.
gued that II the testatrix had torn
that paper at one time and put 1t In
that envelope at another some of the
pieces. small as they were, must sure
" have become lost in the interval.
The extreme minuteness of the pieces,
coupled with the fact that not one
piece was missing, was my evidence
that the tearing and the putting into
that envelope were one res gesta.
Il had quite clearly demonstrated the |
presence Of every piece by taking O
sheet Of glass covered with white Of |
egg and carefully reconstructing the
whole sheet Of paper upon 1t, leaving
