The Coming Of the Cannery.

There has been an important
movement during the last few
months in central Louisiana,
which if carefully handled, will
surely bring better things to the
farmers. AT several points there
have been established canning
factories, and start made to grow
the necessary material TO run
them. The usual procedure is
not exactly on this order, for as
a general thing the canning fac
tory comes after the trucking in.

Southern Pacific Literary Bureau

A New York man recently took
a peculiar hand in bringing about
a revolution in the food supply of
a big transcontinental railroad,
and was partially responsible for
securing the use of American
grown rice from San Francisco to
New Orleans, not only on dining
cars of the Southern Pacific Rail
road, but at all of the station res.
taurants along the line. While
travelling through the Louisiana
and Texas rice belt he endeavored
at numerous hotels to be served
with the food he had heard so
much about, thinking 1t would be
used as the prevailing food staple
on its native heath Much to his
astonishment his order could not
be filed, nor was he more success
full on one Of the dining cars of the
railroad. When he returned East
he wrote Passenger Traffic Man
ager s. T. Morse of his exper
fences and that official at once
made more strenuc lis previous
efforts to have Louie .l lasa and Tex
as rice served on Southern Pacific
dining cars, and with such good
result that he was informed, a
day or two since by the commits
sary at San Francisco, that all
dining car stewards and all sta
ton restaurants had been supplied
with Southern Pacific rice cook
books and instructed to use the
200 recipes for preparing rice to
the best advantage. When the
critical New Yorker next visits
the rice belt he will he able to oh
tain rice in all forms, from the
bride and groom kind to The pud
ding variety.

ThA S. Il R. R. V. Road.

The following pointers about
the Shreveport and Red River
Valley Road are gathered from
our exchanges:
The company was recently re
organized at Shreveport as the
Louisiana Railway and Navigation
Company with a capitalization of
$40 100000.
The road will be extended via
Baton Rouge to New Orleans
.sThe officers persistently deny
that the road has been acquired
by the Frisco or any other large
system, saying that it will remain
an independent concern. The
magnificent features of the char
ter fled today are the clauses
which give the company the right
10 construct line from New Or
leans TO the Gulf of Mexico, the
port to remain undetermined for
the present, and the right to
operate steamboats, in domestic or
foreign trade in connection with
its line. 1t is believed that this
persages another line of gulf
steamers for New Orleans and
that the Red River Valley will
handle an immense amount of
Western traffic to that city.
The road is now building between
Baton Rouge and Mansura When
that stretch of road is completed
it is understood a line of steam
boats will be operated between
Baton Rouge and New Orleans
pending the completion of the
south end"
