Switch Charges.

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. 4
w. M. Barrow, secretary Of the
Railroad Commission, has re
turned from Shreveport, where
the last session of the com mis-
sion was held and he announces
that the next meeting will be
held in Baton Rouge on Tuesday,
Nov. 10, instead of Monday Nov.
II, as stated before. Among
the important matters that Will
come up at this meeting will be
the consolidation of the establish
ing of a uniform switch charge
at all points in the State Of $3.50.
The commission will also at this
session consider the question of
establishing rule requiring
carriers to furnish the cars with
ten days notice after notifying
the agent nearest the shipment
and paying 81 per day dem ar
rage after that time for failure
to furnish the cars. This rule
contemplates also a requirement
that the shippers shall load the
cars received within forty light
hours after they are placed at
the designated place.
The number of complaints
which have reached the com mis-
sion relative to the shortage of
cars and DELAYS OccaSiOned to
shipments has suggested the
necessity of having such rule.
The commission has given notice
to the carriers in the State to file
ALL their tariffs showing switch
charges.

New Addition to the Town.
The growth of this town in
late years has necessitated the
opening of several suburban
tracts. These tracts, which
were divided into lots, We're
readily bought by people who
wanted to build homes. In this
way a number of additions
were made to the town. The
last of these additions was
made by Mr.. S. r. Parkerson
who used a portion of the 5O-acre
tract be purchased from Mr..
DowdeH some time ago. Mr..
Parl1erson built a couple of neat
cottages which We're rented as
soon as completed. A number
of people bought lots and will
soon build homes Mr.. Nicker
son, who is agent for Mr.. Par
kerson, informed The Gazette
that the new addition is already
growing in popularity and will
be filed with dwellings, before
many months.

didn't calculate how many dimes,

in until their contributions ag-
gregated $4,000. which is now
on deposit in a Cincinnati bank.
AS the idea of building a war
ship with dimes, nickels and
pennies has been abandoned,
the question now is what to do
with the $50, OO.-Daily States.
The recent street car strike in
New Orleans has revealed a CON
dition regarding the capitaliza-
ton OF the company which it was
worth all the strike has. cost to
learn. 1t is stated upon excel

opinion of an expert that the
plants operated by the New Or
leans Railway company in It's
entirety can easily be reproduced
new and in better condition than
it now is, for about 100000, OOO."
Yet this New Jersey trust which
owns the plant is capitalized at
$50, 5000 and is striving to
earn an income on that extrava-
CANT valuation. This is one of
the effects ofallowingprivate cor

ETATE CAME LAWS
Hunters and Farmers Differ on Cues

Hunters and Farmers Differ on Oues-
 ton and Legislature May Decide.
 The discussion of the topic, s'Is the Game Law Real Benefit" discussed before the state board of trade yes terday, has created no little talk among the local hunters. It was the opinion of many of the delegates that the game law should be amended so as to protect the farming interests. One delegate said that he had placed the signs and overTun the farm killing the game birds, which he desired to protect He also charged that hunting dogs had killed the sheep on some of the farms.
 As a result of the discussion, com mittee was instructed to go before the legislature this winter and procureNan amendment to the game laws. They thing that an amendment should be framed prohibiting hunting, except the hunter shall procure permission from the owner of the fattn where it is desired to hunt
 Some of the local hunters say that such a prohibition would effectually spoil the hunting. They claim that such and arrangement would prove practi- calIy prohibitive and there would be no use to attempt any hunting.
 It is likely that the hunters will mar shaI their forces this winter and use their utmost efforts to defeat any such 7egislation as proposed.
