Then it repays richly all labor bestowed
upon it, throwing from one to four
spikes of bloom from q single bulb.
AS a Hotel Flower.
For dining rooms, tables or sideboards
it has no equal, as it can be cut after
the first blooms open, and will then stay
in bloom in the house for week OF
longer, until the last bud has fully
opened. After it has stood in the vase
for a few days the flowers open wider,
and acquire the most delicate orchid
like effect of hothouse plants.
I have secured some of the finest
strains produced in Europe, and prop
gated in this country, almost no two
bulbs producing the same color, from
the deepest reds and puppies to the
most delicate creams and snowy and
satiny whites. There is large proper
tion of brilliant snowy reds of CHILDISH
strains. Every hotel keeper in the state
should grow large bed of gladioli for
the coming worlds fair. The bulbs can
be planted at any time from now on,
and if successive paintings are made ev-
cry month, as late as June LIST, there
will be a succession of flowers until No
vember. .,
Hotel Willamette, Salem.
Used gladiolus exclusively the past
summer, and won reputation for hav-
ing the most beautiful dining room in
the state. The hotels of Oregon can add
much to the reputation of our state by
usin the gladiolus extensively for din
ing room and parlor flowers. They are
odorless, but very attractive and re-
freshing to the senses. They drop no
petals or pollen on the linen table COW

Low COLONIST RATES.

The Southern Pacific announces that
from March lst to April 30th. inclusive
there will be on sale daily low col0nist
one way tickets from all points In Lou
isiana and Texas to points in California,
affording an opportunity for men of IL
mited means to travel to the Pacific
coast at a very small cost. These periO-
dical low rates have proven very pOpu-
lar, and it is quite likely that many will
take advantage Of them during the per-
iod Indicated. The Southern Pacific
operates free reclining chair cars and
Pullman tourist sleepers all the way
through, which. with the useU cinder-

The Police Jury was in session
here Monday and Tuesday, there
was considerable work to be done,
including the schedule for this
year. Mr.. T. j. Liable made a
plea to this police jury to set aside
an amount to pay the old debts of
the parish. Mr.. Liable was q lit
tie late in thinking about the old
debts, it seems to us that he should
have advocated the payment OF old
debts at the beginning of this ad-
ministration instead of waiting at
the making of their last schedule
to advocate the payment of old
debts. This police jury has rain
ed the credit of the parish, by not
making provisions to pay the old
debts. during the past three years
they could have been considerably
reduced, butt seems that the Po-
lice Jury couldn't zee its way clear
to do that. if they could not pay
any part of the old debts then,
how can they do it now? If they
can do it now they could do it as
we'll during the first three years.
Why have they not provided fol
the honest debts of the parish?

The merchants Of st. Martinville
appeared before the Police Jury
Monday and appealed to them to
give some serious attention to the
Terrasse Road, and asked than an
increased appropriation be made
for that road which is more costly
to keep in good order than the
other roads of the parish. Mayor
Fournet acted as the spokesman
of the merchants, and their de-
msnd was fsvorably considered
and an appropriation made spe-
cially for the purpose asked.

There will be q good roads con-
vention in New Orleans on the IL
and Is of April next. We do not
know that these good roads con-
ventions are of any good to the
country. There is no doubt that
almost every parish in Louisiana
is in need of good roads. and the
public highways could all be much
improved. but We believe it all de-
ponds upon the system of working
the roads. We believe that the
parish should have a road over
seer, or that Office should be filled
by the President of the police ju-
ry, and that official should be the
one to attend the good roads con-
vention and all parish work should
be done under his supervision.
We believe the present system of
working the roads in this parish
is not the best and most sdvsnta-
geous to the parish, and We be-
lieve the supervision of the work
done is neglected in some sections
of the parish, az we hear CON-
plants of the work done in some
sections. We hope that the new
police jury will give some serious
attention to road matters of this
parish. We need better roads.

Lent.

The season of Lent concentrating
the forty days fast of the Saviour begins
tomorrow, which in the church calendar
is known as Ash Wednesday. The name
is the outgrowth of the old custom OBJ
serred in Catholic churches and in some
of the high Episcopal churches of
shrinking the forehead with ashes. This
ceremony is performed with the purpose
of reminding the faithful that they are
but dust. and no matter how far they
may indulge pride and love of sell, they
will return to dust, from which their
origin obtained. While spreading the
forehead with ashes the priests repeat In
Latin the words, Remember, man,
thou art dust and to dust thou shalt re-
turn" In the lesson of this day the
church endeavors to lay before its peo-
ple the necessity of taking advantage of
each and every opportunity for further
inc the cause of Christianity, and ex-
horts them not to defer their sincere
conversion. The Lenten season is es-
pecialy observed in the Catholic, Epls-
copal and Lutheran churches aud during

GONE TO ROANOKE.

Alexandria Light Infantry SUM-
moned to ROanoke-Order a
Surprise to Many-FOrty-fye
Men Gather at the ArmOry on
Regular Drill Night and Or
dered to Prepare to Leave the
City-Large Crowd Bid them
Adiea.
The members of the Alexandria
Light Infantry company G of the
Seventeen Virginia regimenD were last
night for the second time within the
past six months ordered to prepare for
active service by proceeding to distant
city to aid in the preservation of the
peace. The order came late in the
afternoon from Adjutant General Male
of the State militia, and it being the
regular drill night, most members OF the
command knew nothing of what was
going on until they arrived at the hall.
1t was then they became aware of
the fact that they would be in Roa-
noke this morning guarding the
negro Johnson, who made MUIR
derous assault upon Mrs. Shields
and her daughter week or two ago.
The soldier boys, while surprised to
hear of the order and anticipating the
festivities of the approaching I'D OF
February parade, took the matter In
good humor and began preparations for
their journey. The orders directed that
each man be provided with two days
rations and twenty rounds of ammu-
milton. From 8 o'clock until nearly
IL, when the command started for the
Southern Railway station, on south
Henry street, the armory and vicinity
was thronged with people, while several
hundred gathered at the railroad station
to bid the soldiers good-by. The COM
pany, under Capt King and Lieuts.
Cochran and Slaymaker, left on the
Washington Southwestern vestibuled
limited, to which a special coach
was attached in this city. There were
scheduled 10 arrive in Roanoke at nine
o'clock this morning. They seemed to
be martial spirit in some of the younger
generation who have not yet assumed the
physical proportions of soldiers. Some
wanted to 90 despite parental interdic-
tions, and in two cases the fathers OF fam
lilies mad to stay at the depot until the
train left in order to keep their youngsters
home.
