THE FIRST PAYMENT

Washington, Feb. 21.---According
Shaw of the treasury, has not yet de-
cided whether or not it will be neces.
sary to make a second call for a por-
tion of the reserve fund to meet the
isthmian canal payment. The canal
treaty will be ratified by the senate
Tuesday by a good margin. The day
following Secretary Shaw will issue
his call for 20 per cent of the reserve
money in national banks. So soon as
the two governments exchange ratifi.
cations, which will probably be on
Thursday, Panama can secure her
S10,O00,O0O it is said But there will
be delay of a month in all prob
ability before the new Panama canal
company can be paid $40,000,000 for
her rights, franchises and property
Just how this transfer will be ac-
complished cannot be told, but 1t will
be necessary for some one to be au-
thorized by the French government to
make the transfer and to receive the
money.
The president may empower Am
bassador Porter at Paris and Captain
Black at Panama to represent this
government If this is done the trans.
fer can be made In much shorter time
than IL the affair was placed in
charge Of the canal commission, the
members of which will be named so
soon as the treaty is ratified
A poll of the senate discloses that
fifteen Democratic senator's will sup
port the treaty, while II will vote
against 1t.

Lands of Lake Tasse.

The state land Office for the last
few days has been rushed with in
quiries relatives to what is known
as the "dried up lake lands" OF
Lake Tasse, or Spanish Lake, sit
uated within few miles of the
thriving little city of New Iberia.
DIR. A. G. Emmer, of Iberia pa
rish, spent several days endeavor-
ing to secure favorable action by
the state register upon a declara-
ton under Act Fl of 1856 aud Act
124 of 1902, relating to pre-emp-
tion OF public lands in this state.
He was met, however, at the thres-
hold by the fact that these lands
were not surveyed aud not of re-
cord in the state land Office, and
therefore not subject to patent.
He was allowed, however, to file
declaration under the provisions
OF existing presumption laws. In
this course he has been followed
by other applicants. Chief Clerk
Baner, of the Land Office, in
speaking Of the matter this morn
ing said: s'The unsurveyed land
embraced within the area of the
meandered Lake Tasse are said TO
be valuable agricultural lands, and
it is perfectly natural to observe
the rush that is being made to Sc
cure possession of these lands, by
parties familiar with their exis-
tence aud value. The trouble,
however, is that the status or ra-
Their legal classification of these
particular lands is not known are
they part of the public domain
OF the United States government
or do they belong to the State of
Louisiana by the inherent right of
sevenigtby or by the Congressional
grants of lS49 and 1850? These,
questions must first be answered
to the satisfaction Of all concerned
before the Office can proceed fur

Alcohol for Motive Power.


The use OF crude and refined pc
troleum oil, including gasoline, for
the development of power, vheth-
err by such use as fuel or as an ex-
plosive agent within the machines,
is now drawing more attention to
the use of alcohol for the develop
ment of power. In this connec-
ton Prof. Harrison, the we'll
known government analyst in Bri-
fish Guiana, has recently made a
report on the white rum there pro-
duced from molasses, in which be
makes the statement that while al
cohol theoretically has but little
over one-half the thermal value OF
petroleum, still for motor purpo-
SEES this theoretical value of alco-
hol has double the efficiency that
can be obtained with petro-
leum products in actual practice
Data are given to the effect that at
value of about IA cts per gallon
for alcohol it can compete success
fully in Germany with steam as
used in small engines.
The low prices at which molas-
sas has been sold now for many
years is concentrating large atten-
ton upon this by-product of the
cane sugar industry, and while its
use as stock feedstuf has alrea-
dy increased the demand for it,
perhaps we may now soon realize
further demand for distillation
into alcohol to be used for the de-
velopment of motive power. as is
now SO largely done with gasoline.

of the last to forsake this frail
mortality of ours. 1t sustains
many people through their lives
and smooths the descent to the
grave with a gentleness that steals
away the bitterness ere they are
away. Appealing. as they do, to
this primal social instinct, the fake
matrimonial agencies have natu-
rally secured large cliente lie.
From the back areas where SER
wants most do congregate, from all
imaginable haunts of humankind,
the letters have poured into them,
including the required Spanish
milled dollar. And only one thing
was wanting to complete the fell
city of the writers-a compliance
with the contract on the part of
the, agencies. That want continu-
es; theconcerns, it has just been
discovered by the government, do
not really deliver the goods!
The revelation OF the perfidy and
failure to produce results of these
matrimonial agencies need not
wholly discourage. 1t is true that
the hope of securing advantageous
matches through the intervention
of these obliging go-between is
dissipated; but, after a slight
period of depression. society will
regain its normal tone. We may
find consolation in the fact chat
marriages will continue without
noticeable diminution. For, after
all, the matrimonial agencies that
are responsible for the great bulk
OF them are happily beyond the
reach OF chance or governments.
The stars and the moon, the twi-
light, the walks together. the skill
ed mammas, and a thousand others
We might mention are still active,
and while this is SO the world need
not despair.
