FISH STOP BOATS.
Remarkable Swarm of Big
Swimmers in Louisiana Waters.


New Orleans, July .8.-Steamers and
other vessels plying on Bayou Bara-
taria and Harvey's canal were stopped
today by the swarms of buffalo fish
which crowded the bayou. The fish
were SO dense that thousands of them
were lifted out of the water by the 9TH
ers and thrown on the shore. The mail
steamer F. Covence, between New Or
leans and Grand Isle, had to butt or
cut her way through the mass of fish.
AS soon as the news reached Gretna
and Harvey's Canal, hundreds of ne
groes went down to the bayou and be-
gan throwing out the fish, many of
them three and four feet long. Some
of the more thoughtful ones came with
wagons and took the fish home by the
wagon load.
The buffaloes were driven up the ba-
you into Harvey's Canal by the south
east winds, which forced the tide up.
They and Mississippi catfish are seldom
eaten by the whites.

DELL VALENTINES OUTING
He Will Spend It at Georgian Bay,
Canada.

Dell Valentine, clerk Of the supreme
court, has left for a months vacation in
Georgian Bay. To those who have not
studied geography for several years it
might be explained that Georgian bay
is large body of water off the east
side of Lake Huron.
Mr.. Valentine is accompanied by four
other Clay Center men. They visited the
same spot last year and were SO well
pleased with it that they are going back
now.
Around the shores Of Georgian bay
are about 10000 small islands, and it is
on one of these that the party expects
to camp. To reach the place it is neces-
sary to go to Toronto and go about so
miles nearly due north by rail. Fish
ing is the great attraction Of the region,
although game Is said to be plentiful on
the main land further north

A NEW CATTLE TEST,
Chicago Packers Plan Vast Ranch
SoWn With Cassava Root.

Boston, Mass, July 8.-Swift & Co., the
Chicago packers, are said to be working
out a plan for novel experiment in cat
tie raising which, If successful, may mean
the revolutionizing of the cattle raising
industry. They have purchased about
LOO, 60 acres of land in southern Alabama
and northwestern Florida adapted to cat
tie raising and will stock the property
with about 1000 head of cattle.
These cattle will be fed upon cassava
root which is to be raised upon the land.
Cassava is South African plant, very
rich in starch which is adaptable to rails
ing i'll the southern portion of the Uuited
States. 1t yields about twenty tons Of
root per acre, which gives about 5000
pounds of starch. The same amount of
corn gives but 1900 pounds, so it will be
seen that the cavassa is much more
quantities.
Expert agriculturists say that the plan
of the Swifts is entirely feasible. II 1t
proves a success after exhaustive expert
ments Swift & Co. will go into it on a
vast scale.

WHISTLER GOES TO WAR.
The Noise of Building Next His Resi-
dence Made the Artist Angry.

London, July 8.7James Mcneil Whist
Ter, the artist, has informed his friends
that he regards litigation as the real
work of his life painting being only
pastime. He has begun an action
against the builder of his new house on
the Chelsea Embankment which is
greatly admired in that artistic neigh
borhood.
It appears that the builder has begun
to build house adjoining Mr.. Whist
1er's and in the course of the work
there was much hammering of bricks
against the walls of Mr.. Whistler's
dwelling, arousing his anger.
Finally Mr.. Whistler returned to his
former house and launched legal pro-
ceedings. He will undoubtedly add a
fresh chapter to his well known work,

The unlucky watch which was stolen
