SMOTHER A COUGH.

You can smother a cough
with your hand but you can't
cure it that way. Some medl-
cines only smother coughs.
SCOTS Emulsion cures them,
Old coughs and deeP-rooted
coughs can't be cured until
the Inflammation which causes
them mas been replaced BY
healthy tissue.
That is exactly the kind {
thorough work SCOTS Emul-
sion does. 1t changes the
entire nature of the throat ano
lungs SO that there is nothing
to cough about.

OIL IN LOUISIANA.

"While there has been nothing
substantial about the development OF
the Anse La Butte oil field. 1t is Il
very good field. and very satisfact-
orv evidence of this is found in the
fact that though dozen wells have
been sunk, they have no busters,
said Mr.. James r. Praytor, n. Beau
mont GILMAN. in speaking about the
Louisiana fields last night in the
Hotel Grunewald.
Considering everything. I think
l would rather own large block of
Louisiana oil land than n tract of the
Same size in the Texas field. for the
Louisiana fields have many advan-
tages including superior transporta-
tion facilities by both rail and water.
Sour Lake is great field, but is no
thing more or less than another Beau
mont. and it will not be long before
same will be pumped.
1.-The Jennings field produces an
oil almost identicaly the same as that
found in Beaumont and Sour Lake,
and it can hold its own against both
of those. With the new refinery and
tho Northern Railway. which it is
proposed to build, Jennings will be n
strong factor in the Southern oil mar
ket.
1.-THE oil found at Anse LaButte is a
much lighter grade of oil than is
found In the ether fields, and in the
course of time it will command its
price. All the wells there are pro-
ducing fairly, one we'll. on which
compressed air is used. even produc-
ing as much rs so barrels n day.
"Oil in this field is found at var
ious depths, the highest grade being
nearest the surface, and two other de-
posits being found at various greater
depths. From this it is reasonably
supposed that at still greater depth
it might be possible to strike the
grade of oil found at |. 500 feet in the
Texas fields, and with sufficient gas
pressure to result in gushers. 1t is
probable that some experiments might
be made along that line in few
and il they prove Successful,
Anse La Butte will be marvelously
unique field. Picayune.

ELECTION or POLICE OFFICERS.

At the next meeting of the City

ments will be considered. All ar-
plications for positions on the force
will be considered. SO that any good
citizen having the ambition to serve
this community aud having the ahil-
itv aud character can be sure of his
claims being carefully considered,
We should think it II wise provision

to the front some first class candidates
who could inspire respect among all
classes and who would. without fear
or favor, enforce the law Much
depends upon the vigor and fearless
ness of the police officers in maintain
ing of law and order and our Council
should be perfectly cold hlooded in
this matter and apply only strict bust :
ness principles in the selection Of the

NEW STEAMBOAT LINE.

We noted last week the presence in
our city Of Mr.. George Gould and
party of the Texas Pacific Railroad
system. There was some talk of ex-
tending the system from Alexandria
to this point, still nothing definite
was stated or anything looking to the
exploitation of the scheme, the
gentlemen spent a day or two and
went to Franklin where we learn
they were put in contact with all
the prominent planters and shippers.
with whom the establishment of a
line of steamers was talked over. The
proposed line extends from New
Iberia to Indian Village near Plaque
mine. where connection can be made
with the Texas Pacific. It will be
remembered that Capt. J. B. Sanders
undertook the establishment of this
line some years ago. but it proved a
dismal failure owing to the inadequate
depth Of Bayou Pigeon and some
sections Of Grand Lake, since that
time the United States Government
has been dredging ut those points SO
that now there will be ample depth
of water for ordinary boats. With
these changed conditions the establish
ment OF line of steamers is very
and 1t is more than possible
that the railroad people mentioned
will put in the line,. which will be
Of incalculable advantage to this en-,
tire section. We await with interest
further DEVELOPMENTS.

PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Every day on n which fire oc-
ours emphasizes the necessity of n
paid fire department.. and the owner
ship of a strong fleet horse for the
hose carriage. To be obliged to de-
pend on the passing dray or other
vehicle is poor makeshift to bring
tho hose to the place of fire. 1t is
not justice to the people. The depart
ment need not be so very extensive
but should provide for some per son to
be on duty day and night who can
quickly get the hose to All designated
point in the least possible time. such
n department would be inexpensive
but with the right man could be very
effective. There should be phone
Mt the department headquarters, to
which alarms could be sent. so that

would be simplified and made certain.
With no one on duty and no transport

miracle that any property escapes the
relentless flames. We trust the City
Council will take up this matter and
endeavor in some way to give better
fire protection to the property of our
citizens.

nanzas of high-grade ore here, but
We van to remember that we have
immense bodies of low-grade ore, and
the power to work it cheaply. And
this is what the capitalists of today
that are looking for investments are
after. We have here the necessary re-
sources or the upbuilding of a strong
and permanent mining camp, and we
should not forget to say so whenever
the occasion permits. In the words
of a shrewd and observant Japanese
who visited the Comstock some years
age. There is to much used to be
about the town.
with regard to the tunnel extern
sion l would say that we have the
funds already subscribed to drive the
branch tunnel. We have a number of
men engaged in cleaning out the south
lateral drift and it has been examin-
ed lately by a mining engineer, who
reports is in good condition.
We expect three or -four capitalists
from the east this spring-one of
them to arrive in three or four weeks,
the other later-and we want them
to carry back to the principals the
best possible reports. We hope that
the people of the vicinity will tell
them of the hopeful conditions here
and not speak in degratory terms of
meritorious projects.
AS an instance of the case with
which capital may be interested in Ne
vada investments, it might be well
to mention that the shareholders of
the Comstock Tunnel company have
come forward and put up the money
for doubling the capacity of the COM
pany's mill at Sutro. The money has
all been subscribed and put up on the
simple representation that the project
was a good thing.

relating to Nevada and her welfare,

NEVADA'S
OUTLOOK
Franklin Leonard Jr., Has a Say
knocker" Should Be
Shut Down

Franklin Leonard, Jr., who has just
returned from New York, is very
hopeful of the future of Nevada in an
interview with a Chronicle reporter
he speaks as follows:
THE possibility of getting capital
from the East for the development of
Nevada's resources was never better
than it is at this time. Nevada is a
State of great natural resources, but
they have lot been developed along
up-to-date lines. Owing to peculiar
conditions existing in the past mining
engineers, up to recently, have given
the Sagebrush State a wide berth.
But time has brought changes, and
now we have the a of capital. The
discovery of Tonopah, the Introduction
of electric power on the Comstock, the
proposed tunnel extension to Lower
Gold Hill and Silver City, and the in
have all combined to draw attention
to and restore confidence in Nevada
a%uguration of the irrigation theory
as a field to secure financial invest
ment. Now is the time to bring in
fresh capital, none that will come
voluntarily.
THE one thing we want to guard
against is the tendency to cry down
our own resources, or to knock as the
slang term of the day so aptly puts it.
We have had some good men in this
State, visitors from the East, who, in
the past one or two years, came here
purposely to look into certain big pro-
jects, and who would have brought
large sums in here for the develop
nent of the State, were it not for the
knockers. These last cried everything
down and so disguised the outsiders
that they quit Nevada, with the
back.
This is all wrong, unworthy of the
enlightened spirit of the age. When
Nevadans begin to realize that none
but publish" arguments should be
made on behalf of their common
wealth, the State will have achieved
a marked advance on the road of per-
manent success.
Take the Comstock for instance
We cannot say that we have any bo-
