MANY TO ATTEND CONGRESS.
Secretary Richardson Will Repre-
sent st. Louis at Seattle.

Extensive preparations are being made
throughout the West and South 70 rthe
Transmississippi Commercial Congress. to
be held in Seattle. WASH, August IS to u
Several delegates from st. Louis will attend.
1t is believed now that at least 1,0O0 dele
gates, from all States west Of the Missis-
Sippi River, will be present.
K. W. Richardson, secretary Of the Ma
tiCEal Good Roads Association, who has
Offices in the Laclede building. has been as
sisred by the Government Division to at
tend the congress. He will deliver an adj
dress upon the subject of Highway I'm
provements.' Mr.. Richardson will also boom
the Worlds Fair.
1t is the purpose of the ST. Louis delega-
ton TO secure the convention here in 1904.
Fro mthe present Indications. it is not
thought that much difficulty will be encoun-
tered in doing this Mr.. Richardson said
yesterday that one of the principal matters
which will come up at the convention is a
proposition to combine the Irrigation. Min
ing and Transmississippi congresses.
These important conventions are now
held separately" he said. They have so
many interests In common that it is be-
lieved much more could be accomplished by
combining them. The three congresses have
one common work-that is. the Improvement
and advancement of the West. l believe it
quite likely that the amalgamation can be
effected"

as happy as the average mortal and are
cleaner than we are wont to imagine.
Il saw several cormorant fishing boats.
One of these was near our boat at one time
and We could see that there were several
roosts for the birds extending from the mar
gin Of the open boat, and there We're about
eight birds on each side. The boat was about
feet by 16 and contained a small family
man, wife and two children. There were
nesting baskets for the cormorants, and one
contained two young birds, showing that
babies and birds were being brought up to-
Gether. They had adjustable mats to use
| for 4 roof during the rain and at night.
THE cormorants are trained to fish as
| they sit on these projecting rests. Their
keen eyes discover and they go for the fish,
but the wary boatman has a string around
| the birds neck. making a barrier to his
swallowing his prey. The birds are man.
aged by bamboo pole. When the boatman
wanted to show us how he managed them.
he punched them around with his pole.
I'VE spent days in visiting pagodas and
temples, riding in sedan chairs and rick
| shaws, through bamboo forests and up
steep stone steps. We went up to Mohan-
son. mountain retreat for the missionaries
| in summer. We started out to cross the
| great Lake Taihu but there had been a re-
| cent typhoon and the water was SO rough
! We had to go round 1t in canal.
/ 1--WE saw the silk industry from the eggs
| of the silk worm up to the richly colored
silk brocades made for Mandarns' coats
! In one of the temples were 500 gods as large
as life and no two had the same cast Of
countenance or expression. This was near
the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy. Per-
sons come here on certain days to earn mer-
its for humane deeds, such as releasing
some animal. One large, clear fish pond
contained 1900 black and golden carp that
had been caught at different times and
| brought here and released to gain merit for
! the releaSerS."

THE BANKERS CIRCULAR.

Elsewhere, in to-day's issue Of THE
CoUR1ER, will be found a circular letter
addressed to the bankers Of the State,
which is, OF itself, fully explanatory.
The main purpose Of the signers Of
this circular letter is to abolish the pres
ent system OF depositing with n or two
banks the State funds, and to have these
funds deposited, as equally as possible,
with all Of the banks Of the State.
The unanimity with which the cashiers
of the banks in Terrebonne and the adj
joining parishes, have endorsed the plan
shows that it bids fair to prove very
popular with the country bankers.
