ATHLETIC SPORTS.
The Naval Service Is to Be Made as
Attractive as Possible.

Washington, July 25.-With view
Of making the naval service as attrac-
tive as possible to enlisted men and
lessening visits to dives and deser-
tons, the navigation bureau is now
working on scheme for the establish
ment of recruiting halls and grounds
in navy yards and stations. One of
the most complete projects so far I'M
folded within reasonable price came
from the Norfolk navy yard. This
plan makes provision for a football
grounds, baseball diamond, grand
stand, cinder track, swimming pools,
recruiting hall costing $35,000 with
gymnasium and library, dance hall
and smoking room. 1t is probable
that where sufficient ground can be
secured these Norfolk plans will be
adopted as a type for other yards. An
appropriation for the purpose will be
requested at the next session of con-

DAYLIGHT RoBBERIES.
One of the Most Daring in the History
of the City of Lincoln.

Lincoln. Neb., July 25.-One of the
most daring robberies in the history
of the city occurred Friday when a
man robbed two Lincoln business
houses of $45. using a revolver to ter
rOrize the victims. He first entered
the rooms over the restaurant of O..
E. Houck, where the latter was taking
a bath He commanded Houck to
make no Outcry and rified his pockets
of $3.50 The thief then went to Rehl-
ander's drug store and broke in the
rear door while the clerks we're watch

and got $3S. A clerk was standing be-

TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
All the Municipal Rights in Church
Buildings Coded.

San Juan, P. r., July 25.-All the
municipal rights in the church build
ings at Guayama, Arroya and Saili-
mas have been coded by the municipal
authorities of those towns to the Cath
Ole church. The question of the own
ership of the Catholic church build
ings has been disputed, ever since the
United States took over the island,
Spain, under the cid regime, claiming
title to the edifices, which, however,
were maintained out of the municipal
funds. The action taken by the mu-
nicipal authorities of these three
towns follows the lines recommended
by Gov. Hunt, and it is believed that
the same policy will prevail through.
out the island, thus settling this dis
turbing question.

There are thousands of acres of Gov
ern nent land and q quantity of State
lands in the parish. There are miles
of virgin forest, consisting of pine,
Onk, ash and gum, which are practi-
cally undeveloped. There are several
saw mills scattered throughout the
parish, but there is room for many
more.
This is the ideal farmers country,
and nowhere are lands to be found
that are adapted to a greater DIVERSE
ty of crops. The cotton yield last sea-
son amounted to 10000 bales; the
lands average nearly IL bales to the
acre. The uplands are particularly
fertile and suitable for truck farming
and fruit raising. The pine forests
are magnificent, and contain millions
of dollars worth of material that has
vet to be culled. There are large
tracts of land uncultivated that can
be made as productive as any place in
the world. This is the best poor mans
country ON the earth. A farmer can
work three days out of six and live
well; if be works all of the six he be-
comes independent. Deposits of mar
BILE, limestone, kaolin, Ignite, fire clay,
potters clay, iron and gypsum are
known to exist in this parish.
Colfax is a pretty town, situated on
the banks of Red River, near the
mouth of the Cane River, between
Shreveport and Alexandria. The
Shreveport and Red River Valley
Railroad passes through the town.
Colfax is on high elevation, high
above overflow. The town issurround-
ed by a vast territory of alluviallands,
to which is adjacent to large forests
of long leaf yellow pine. There is no
finer section in the world than the
famous Red River plantations, hence
Colfax is an important cotton center.
The growth of the town within the
past few years has been phenomenal.
Since the advent of the railroad, Col
fax has been making rapid strides.
It's numerous resources and natural
advantages makes any investment
certain of yielding good results.
Good, substantial brick buildings are
replacing the old frame structures,
and the town can boast of some OF
the handsomest buildings found in
this section. Among some of the new
buildings recently erected may be
mentioned the elegant new court
house. This is a brick structure, two
stories high, and cost about $40 900.

The land formation in this parish is
pine hills and large acreage of allu-

These lands are drained by the Red

GUS smaller streams. The chief crop
produced is cotton, the soil is well
adapted to diversified farming, and
corn. oats, hay sugar cane, sweet and

State Superintendent of Education
Calhoun states that all but Eve Of the
parish assessors have. fled their re-
ports showing thenumber Of educable
children in their respective parishes.
Those parishes which have not so far
been heard from are East Carroll,
Iberia, Grant, Jefferson and st. Lam
dry. but it is expected that these win
report before the State Board of Edu-
cation on the 18th instant. The de-
lay in the case of Grant parish was
caused by the action Of our school
board in demanding that the assessor
make new enumeration. This has
been done, and the report which we
published last week gives ward one an
increase of 266 children. The increase
will give this ward fully $4,000 more
in the next tour years than we would
have received had the incorrect emu
meration been allowed to stand. So
the Chronicles little kick has benefit
ed ward one $4,000. and the balance
Of the parish has been benefited neal
~ as much more.
