The attendance at the High
School is so great that it necessi-
tated the moving this week of the
primary department, which is in
charge of Miss Josie Lobdell, to
the old school building on Third
Street. The enrolment at the high
school is about $50, and our
present building is inadequate to
accommodate the attendance.
We hope that the School Board
will be able in the near future to
provide an addition to the High
School building, which is at
present badly needed.

The continued dry westher with
cool nights have checked the growth
of cane, and has brought about the
process Of ripening. AS result of
the continued cool weather during
September, the height of the stalk
is less than was anticipated few
weeks ago, however, such weather
cannot fail to prove an important
factor in the sugar production of the
crop. Flowing for the fall crop has
been interfered with by the drouth,
and a general rain is needed to put
the ground in good condition for
cultivation.

A Proven Success.

The rice industry is becoming an
important factor throughout the
northern part of this parish, and the
yield is gradually on the increase.
Why the crop cannot be made one of
great Importance we cannot see, and
the time is yet to come when this
same industry will couple with the
same success that the sugar crop
has obtained.

bered by every one who attends.
To make the occasion a success it
behooves all who are interested in
the Park, to write to every friend
Of his and request him to come

running horses in Southwest
Louisiana will be upon the track
for the occasion. There will be
low railroad rates, thereby giving
every one an opportunity to wit
ness the races at small cost.

We had visit yesterday from
Mr.. Z. L. Carroll, manager of the
United States Carnival Co., which
had the Street Fair here in Feb
ruary last. Mr.. Carroll has Sc
cured the right from the Council
to have his Street Fair again here,
and he has decided to put the
attraction here on New Years
week, commencing December
2Sth and ending on January 3rd,
inclusive. Mr.. Carroll informs |
us that his Fair this year
has more attractions and bet
ter in every way than it was in
February, the shows being |
clean and first-class; there be-
ing nothing shown that would
disbar ladies and children from
attending. These Fairs draw the
people from the surrounding
country into the towns and help to
create a better feeling between
The merchants and his customers.
All who witnessed the attractions
when the Fair was here were
oud in their praises, as they were
above the average in character,
clean and moral, such as all could
witness with propriety. Mr.. Car
oil has commenced to advertise
he Fair for Franklin and will
continue to do so until it arrives
lere. The manager of the Fair
intends every day to give a good
of the gross receipts
o some of our lodges and the
ichool.

THE DUTY
On PLOWS
TO STAND
CableComesFrom
New York Yes
terday.

Collector OF Customs Stackable re-
ceiyed a cablegram from the Board
of General Appraisers in New York
yesterday afternoon to the effect that
there would be no reliquidation au-
thorized in the plow cases.
This cablegram covers forty protests
made to the customs department by
Macfarlane Company and the Southern
Pacific Company relative to duties paid
on plows and machinery to be used on
plantations in various parts Of the
Islands. The cases are peculiar in
many respects. Under the ruling of the
steam plows, as a whole,
are permitted to be imported upon the
payment OF duty of 20 per cent ad
valorem, under the act of July "a, 1897.
But this applies only to the steam
plows, when they are complete, ready
to be set up. On all parts of plows,
per cent ad valorem under paragraph
1913 of the act, and the difference be-
tween % per cent and As per cent is an
appreciate one. Farther than that,
there is no provision made for engines
TO run the plows, save with the As
per cent duty, so that importers must
not only bring in entire pIows to get
the advantage of the lower rate, but
must pay the higher rate on the en-
gines to run the plows. 1t was against
this higher rate that the protest was
made. to which yesterdays cabIegram
is, in effect, reply.

PALMER
CALLS At
PITCAIRN
All Is Well With
the Far Away
Islanders.
They Have Now Bought
Themselves a
Sloop.
That Is Their Chief Means of
Communication With the
Outside World.

The schooner John Palmer, Captain
Delano, now unloading coal at the
Railroad wharf, stopped at Pitcairn
Island on her way up from the Colo
mics, and received a lot of fresh fruit
and provisions from the descendants
of the mutineers Of the Bounty and
gave them in return some news of the
outside world that was most grateful
to them. Captain DeIano also brought
a letter from Miss Susie Young, who is,
in effect, the queen of the Islands, be-
ing known to them as Aunt Susie,' to
Mrs. Kerr of this city. It will be re-
membered that Miss Young passed
through Honolulu some years ago on
her way to San Francisco for surgical
treatment, and was extensively enter
tanned by local people of prominence.
''The Islanders are well and happy"
said Captain Delano yesterday, cor at
least they were all well and happy on
the 18th Of January, when I touched
there. 1 laid the ship close in to the
Island, where there is a first class
anchorage on the northwest side, and
they brought us off fruit and vegeta-
bIes and fresh food of all kinds. I did
not see the governor of the island. He
was away on a visit to Mangeriva,
one of the Pomotus, to get the mail for
the islanders. You know they have
bought little sleop lately, the island
ers, and they run down to Mangariva
often to get their mail and to mail let |
tiers to the outside world. 1t is ninety

miles away. about. but they think little
of that. In fact, that sloop is to the
Pitcairn islanders something like what
the cable is to Honolulu folks. Makes
them think they are in touch with the
outside world, sure enough, and they
are mighty proud of her.
There are $50 people on the island
now, in the ratio of about three women
to one man, and they all seem in the
best of health and spirits. Miss Young
is still a kind of queen among them.
They all follow her lead in everything,
and her school is in hourishing condi-
ton.
Every ship that passes through
those seas tries to make Pitcairn now.
I have tried to make it before myself,
but could only run up this time, and
I was mighty glad to get the fresh fruit
and the chickens they brought off, L
can tell you. The owners of the British
ship Glencona and OF the British ship
Fortevit, both big foremasters bound
around the Horn with wheat from Ia
coma, will be glad to hear that those
ships were off Pitcairn island on De-
cember p. only % days out from their
sailing port. That is steamer time,
and Is the record. The American ship
Susquehanna, with wheat from San
Francisco to New York, passed Pit
cairn on December 81. I do not know
how long she was out, but all was well
with her
II tell you, those Pitcairn islanders
are just about the finest people in the
world, and their being where they are
is good thing for Pacific Ocean sail
ors. It was not so long ago that Cap
tain Briee put in there with his ship. |
the Pyrannese, on fire, and expected
nothing else than to lose her. Instead
of that, they offered to put a couple Of
men aboard of her and run her down
to Mangeriva for him, where she could
be beached. They did it, too, and she
is now in San Frapcisco, safe and
sound. That is a vast deal better than
going up against an island where they
will eat you alive if you happen to be
in distress"
