CAMELS IN LOUISIANA.
By . Lumberman ~ Far
Back as 1S42.

James Boardman Cable. of Long
beach, Miss, is authority for the
statement that his father, the late
George w. Cable. imported a herd of
camels for utilitarian purposes in
1912, reports the New Orleans Plea
yune. He was engaged in the manu-
facture of lumber under the firm
name of Cable d Simpson, in the Vi
cinity of Covington, in st. Tammany
parish, La. ST. Tammany parish has
very sandy soil, and Mr.. Cable con-
ceived the idea of using camels in
the hauling of logs.
That was long before the days of
the logging steam train. Horses and
mules were unserviceable. because of
the sandy soil. In 1912 a herd of
camels was imported from Arabia,
through New Orleans, and put to
work hauling logs to the saw mill.
The venture was a big success. The
queer-looking beasts, with their
slouchy gait, hauled logs to the mill
and hauled the lumber to the river,
which led to Lake Ponchartrain, over
which the lumber was carried in
schooners to New Orleans. Some
years after the firm dissolved. and
the camels were sold to a man out
west. That was the last of the herd,
so far as Mr.. Cable knows.

ANIMALS ON ANIMALS,
Parasites That Take Up Their L0dg-
ings - the Bodies, Beasts,
Birds and Fishes.

All animals both great and small,
suffer as severely as mammals in the
matter of parasites, says Leslie's
Monthly. The parasite Of the ostrich
is misunderstanding example. The
most interesting of the pigeons para
sites is the one known as the slender
pigeon louise, which is supposed to do
good service to the bird by thinning it's
body plumage as the weather grows
hot. Fish also have parasites. The
legs of one variety which inhabits the
carp and pike are attached to the pos
terror part Of it's anatomy, and con-
stitute paddles by means of which the
organism can change its host and de-
part to pay its attentions to another
fish. Two dark spots in the forepart
of the creature represent the first
pair of legs, which have been convert
ed into suckers, by means of which
the organism retains hold of its host
There is good reason to believe that
this pike louise" is not a parasitic tor
ment, but rather desired attendant.
In all proba bility it derives its nour-
ishment from the mucous products Sc
creted by the skin of the fish. And
when it has satisfactorily arranged
the toilet of one fish it abandons it
for another which needs it's help.

HENDERSON SEES A LIGHT

Both He and Senator Hoar Change Their
Attitude.
New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Feb. 12.-Senator Hoar and
Speaker Henderson have changed their at
titude on 1egisla ton in the last few days
and they have: apparently changed their
allegiance to trust bills.
Last week Senator Hoar was hostile to
the ,Littlefield bill, which passed the house.
and it was consigned to a pfgeonllole in
the senate Judiciary committee, of which
Senator Hoar is chairman. Speaker Hen
derson wanted the Littlefeld bill or no
trust legislation. Now Senator Hoar is
working his committee overtime to get the
Littlef1eld bill reported to the senate.
He fears the Elkins rebate BILL which
has already passed the senate and been
reported to the house by the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce. is
too drastic, and he prefers the Littlefield
bill.
But Speaker Henderson changed his al
|legiance, and is now ready to put the Ell
lxins bill through the house as soon as the
sundry civil appropriation bill has been
passed The committee on rules consid-
cred the question to-day and has prepared
a rule for the consideration Of the Elkins
BILL 1t will be passed by the house this
week and complete the trust legislation.
1t looks as though the speaker would
win. and that Senator Hoars labors on
the, Littlefield bill would come to nothing.
He may get the Lttlef1eld bill out of COM
nittee into the senate. but it will go no
further because the trust legislation will
be completed.

GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC
It Will Ask for Land Grant and Sub
sidy-The Canadian North
ems Request.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Montreal Feb. 1.-THE impression in
Grand Trunk circles is that should the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway project so
through, the new company will ask the
dominion government for assistance in
land and cash subsidies. While only pre-
liminary meetings have as yet been held
with Sir Wilfred Laurier. it is believed
the application will be for from 5000 to
1000 acres of land and from $4,000 to
$1,000 cash per mile. The difference be-
tween this and the assistance that will
be asked for by the Canadian Northern
railway is that the latter road will not ask
for any land grand but will ask for $12. 900
cash per mile for part Of the road that
will be built through the Rockies. The
Canadian Pacific is realizing much high
er prices for land than it did last year.
In January 1O2,580 acres were sold for
$42S.611, against 1c9.S46 acres sold in
January. 1902. for s347,7e1. The increase
is due to immigration and development
during the past year. For the seven
months ending Jan. l. 527.550 acres were
sold for 5,237,535, against 704,392, acres
sold in 1901 for $2,247, lie.

Dublin, Feb. 1.-THE Earl Dudley,

dinner of the Royal college of surgeons
here, yesterday, made a very optimistic
speech, during which he declared that the
prospects for the future Of Ireland were
very encouraging. Agitation had been

in his life had he signed anything more

The country had shown a genuine desire
for a just, final and amicable solution OF

epoch in Irisl, history, the handspring
thereof being federation. moderation and

A sheriff and posse and force of police
have left for the scene on special train.
The railway officials have asked peniten-

bloodhounds.
Sheriff Quinn and posse went west a
mile and a half out Of the city and were
met by Division Superintendent Boyle,
who was a passenger on the train held up.
Superintendent Boyle rushed to the front
Of the. train when it was stopped by the
robbers, but: refrained from shooting,
fearing he would hit the trainmen.
Every officer in the city has been called
to- South Butte and all approaches to the
city are carefully guarded. The sheriff is
securing the country and a fight between
the officers and robbers is believed to be
imminent. ..sf
Blew the Safe to Pieces.
The robbers fred two charges of dyna-
mite, blowing. the safe to pieces and
wreclsing the express car. The safe, &C
cording to- the railway people, contained
nothing of value.
Word has been received that a special
train left Deer Lodge this morning with
the penitentiary bloodhounds.
Money Loss Not Heavy.

waited Road Decided
Scare.


New York, Feb. 1.-THE full power of
the electric current conveyed by the third
rail Of the Ninth Avenue Elevated rail-
road broke bounds last evening with a
binding flash, and tearing off the iron
contact shoe Of a train standing at the
One Hundred and Sixteenth street station,
followed the tracks under the train, struck
and flashed along the iron work Of the
platform with a deafening explosion, and,
striking heavy iron chain and break
ing it into sections, flung it across the
station.
A panic ensued and men and women
made a wild rush for the station exit
from the platform. while the passengers
on the trains feared to leave the cars :
Fortunately no one was seriously in
jured. A long section of the broken chain,
white hot from the current which had
passed through it, flashed before the
face of one of the men on the station
platform, not touching him, but soaring
his flesh with the intense heat as it
passed.
