TRUCK FARMING.

The Pass Christian Beacon thus
tells of what an energetic trucker did
down on the coast, and what he
achieved there can be done here, pos
sibly in greater degree. That paper
says:
"Mr. Louis B. Saucier, one of the
progressive young truck farmers at
Long Beach, informs US that from less
than an acre planted in radish this
spring he had already shipped 20 bar
rels, and expects to close shipping to
day with an additional 10 barrels.
From the 70 previously shipped he had
receivd returns from every one of over
So above freight, or a total Of more
than $3.50, and this too, without get
tins in any of the first shipments,
from which some of his neighbors re-
ceived from SO to $18 per barrel. On
the same piece of ground Mr.. Saucier
raised profitable crop before put
ting it in radishes, and will now
plant it in melons, and in the fall cut
crop of hay off it, thus reaping
four crops from the same piece of land
within year.
''For truck farming no section of
the union surpasses the Mississippi
coast if the industry is intelligently
pursued. The truck farmers associa
tion at Long Beach has proven of ma
terial benefit to its members. During
the radish season three refrigerated
cars of $50 barrels each have been sent
out weekly to Pittsburg, Pa, and other
northern points at an average cost OF
about 80 cents per barrel, whereas un-
der the system of individual shipments
by express the charges averaged 81. Of
per barrel. AS suggested by Mr.. b.
F. Lindsay in these columns several
weeks ago the truck farmers around
the Pass should perfect an organiza-
tion and be in a position to enjoy
some of the large profits that can bt
earned from the shipment of vegeta
l'bles to the northern market.

THE SOUTH'S JOYOUS DEFENDERS.
Beaming Faces Everywhere as Comrade
Meets Comrade--Character Of Men Who
Made Southern Confederacy.
,racy, confederacy

eracy, confederacy
II have seen conventional
bunting, decorations, systems of hand
ling crowds, but New Orleans stands
singly and alone as the greatest town
where men congregsted by the thous-
ands are handled without any sort of
friction, said Govern Longino of
Mississippi last night. tAnd did
you ever sec as many flags in your
life? Did you ever see as much good
humor? Did you ever see as much
confederates -
No one could have replied con-
traily to these questions. There seems
to be nothing wanting. There are
cots for the weary, shelter for the
sun-tired, drinks for the thirsty, food
for the hungry, the glad and well
coming grasp for every stranger.
Most of the older men looked weary
in the early hours of yesterday. Two
days of revelry had taken the starch
out of their backbones. Many had
gone the night before without beds.
Hundreds snoozed on sidewalks.
Thousands slept in congested rooms.
Countless numbers fought mosquitoes
A multitude got up without rest.
But all that, there was no COM
planning Those whose eyes were
dull at the awakening, got brighter
as the day wore on. The sounds of
bugles, the marching of soldiers, the
gray colors catching the red, the
swarming of men and women on the
streets, the waving of flags, the laugh
ter of exultant men and women-well, l.,
how could any one refuse to respond
to the spirit?

New Orleans, May 2l-All the

sort of spirit that builded the con-
federacy-a spirit of heroism, of love
The thousands that walked the
streets, that attened the fair grounds,
that made excursions on the river,
that strolled through the parks,
viewed the many historic buildings
and sites in the city, struggled at res
tuarants for food and scrambled in
conveyances for seats-more flags
waving, more eyes to view them,
more confederates TO cheer them -
entertainments here and congregations
there, reunions everywhere, and the
women ubiquitous-th old ones who
knitted socks and turned the spinning
wheels, salted pork and made lye
hominy, patched breeches and sewed
colors together that made confederate
fiags-their daughters in white dress,
gay and joyous old men laughing
and talking between sobs, comrades
with arms entwined, the rebel yell
sounding throughout the city-and
such were a part of the scenes on the
mellow earth of New Orleans from
sunup yesterday until the stars began
to fade this morning.
Dozens of trains came in yesterday
that added to the multitude. The
men came in with songs upon their
lips, money in their pockets and
"sto' clothes on thier bodies-here
for a week, some of them to stay long

TREATY APPROVED
SENATE ACTS ON ALASKA BOUND
AIRY MATTER.
Some Senators Objected, but the
Vote Was Nearly Unanimous.
Passage OF the Alaska Home.
stead Bill Now Said to be As
sured.

Washington, Feb. 12.-In executive
session, which lasted only an hour and
a half, the senate, in addition to con-
firming large number of nominations,
ratified the Alaskan boundary treaty,
and came near taking similar action on
the commercial treaty with Greece,
which was reported by Senator Cullom
from the committee on foreign rela-
tions.
The Greek treaty was read through
by the clerk, and then Senator Cullom
asked that the resolution of ratification
be acted on, but Senator Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts objected. He said that he
desired an opportunity to examine the
provision in the treaty concerning con-
sular trials. He explained that he had
no objection to the general purport of
the treaty, but said as the provision
was read it seemed to him to be loosely
drawn, and he wanted an opportunity
to read it carefully before giving his as
sent to it. The principal purpose of the
Greek treaty is the regulation of COM
merce between Greece and the United
States.
There was no delay in securing action
on the Alaskan treaty, and very little
opposition to it was manifested. Sena-
tor Teller said that he considered the
Alaskan boundary SO we'll determined
as to make it not matter of dispute.
Therefore, while he would not delay it,
he would not vote for it. Senator Ma.
son made similar remarks, adding that
he considered the procedure proposed
by the treaty non-American.
The ayes and noes were not called,
but there were several voices in the
negative when an informal expression
was called for. The ayes were so much
more numerous, however, that the de-
cision of the chair to the effect that rat
itication had prevailed was not chal-
lenged.

ALASKA LAND BILL.
1t Is Now Said That Its Success Is
Assured.

Washington, Feb. I2.-The senate
has passed the Alaska homestead bill
as reported from the committee on pub
lie lands. The bill. which consists
largely of amendments to the Lacey
bill, passed by the house, has already
been informally accepted by the house
committee, and it will almost certainly
become law as passed by the senate.
The bill provides that entries may be
made of 800 acres, which must be rect
angular in form, but not over one mile
in length.
No homesteader may convey more
than five acres of his claim to any GEM
etery, church or school, nor more than
200 feet as right OF way to a railroad.
The Communication clause of the home
stead act is expressly made inapplica Ole
to the territory of Alaska, nor may any
person acquire land with lieu land scrip
from the United States.
The accessibility of the navigable
waters and the public title to the shore
line are preserved. No claim may be
located more than 100 rods along nav
igatl waters, and so rods of vacant
land must intervene between such en-.
tries.
Homestead entries convey no mineral
or timber titles, the law not in any
way conflicting with the mining laws.

mission Have Begun.
Philadelphia, Feb. l.-A1guments
for and against the demands of the
United Mine Workers, which will con-
tinue before the coal strike commission
for the next six days, have begun. The
miners, through Daniel J. Mccarthy,
of Hazleton, made the opening argu-
ment.
Mr.. Mccarthy was followed by for
mer Congressman Brrmm, of Miners
Vile, who made a general argument,
and Henry pemarest Lloyd, OF Chicago,
who confined his efforts to the question
of recognition of the union and yearly
trade agreements.
The operators will begin their argu-
merits in the morning, continuing three
days and closing with George F. Baer,
president of the Reading. Then Clar-
ence S. Darrow, of Chicago, the princi-
pal counsel for the miners will take two
days, or until adjournment IN summing
up and answering President baer.
President Mitchell is expected here
during the week. Whether he will ad-

Chicago, Jan. Feb. l2.-1'he strike
in the downtown office buildings has

have been compelled to climb as high
as 5 flights of stairs for week past,
are now enabled to ride up in elevators.
Coal is now being delivered, and cleo
trio light currents from power houses
turned on. The threat to extend the
strike to every office building in the
city, is given as the cause of the sur
render of the building managers and
their agreement to submit the griev-

structor Zahm, in charge of important
work at the navy yard at Mare Island .
Constructor Zahm has been granted a
leave of absence for three months to en-
able him to recuperate his health and
strength. The shortage of officers is
shown by the fact that vacancies now
exist at the head of the construction de-
partments of the navy yards at Boston,
San Francisco and Puget Sound, with
no officers available for assignment to
these stations.

berton. About $50 tons will be put IN
by Garfield parties if the cold weather

at Elberton, on the Palouse rvier, and
the cutting of ice from the pond gives

ready for them as soon as they arrive.
One firm expects 26 families from the
south by March Is. An Iowa real es-
tate firm that recently located here

800 per acre, and many farmers will
come to Eastern Washington and buy
$50 land this season.
