Department of Agriculture with our
coffee will demonstrate and fully We
rifv the statement we have already
made to the effect that the yearly crop
of coffee here is four time greater than
that of Brazil; hence reach the inflex-
ible conclusion that Porto Rico alone
can meet the demands in the Cn1ted
States for coffee: and it may be pos
sible to increase the production to the
necessary amount.
We do not hope for more than that
these experiences, EN- phatically stated
contain firmer and more convincing
proof of the truth that we can furnish
all the coffee required by the States,
and of its superior quality. justice,
and if not justice, the convenience OF
the Americans demand ample protec-
tion for our famous product. Our state
ment finds realization in our fertile
plantations which can produce six,
eight or ten times more coffee than
has been produced in the largest har-
vest heretofore gathered.
The Americans are not going to
gain solely by the substitution of our
coffee by reason of its quality and pri-
ce, but also by observing in the mar
kets the great difference in the mer-
camille demands of a sad and hungry
colony and the demands of a rich CO.
1ony. prosperous and in a progressive
and developing condition, increasing
more and more.
The emigration of American to Cuba
today will be directed to Porto Rico,
and they should find here sure COM
pensation and great benefit, perhaps
be surprised by the rewards of their
labor. In short, with absolute pro-
lection for coffee, the United States
can share the title of the island that
today vainly seeks and pretends to be
colony, because this island would be
proof positive of American prosperity,
which is a prosperity limited by the
geography of the western continent;
not restricted prosperity that devours
the people but which increases, reach
ing to osher people, and that can live
with men and principles which pro-
claim liberty, justice and fraternity.
The expansion of the States de-
pends in great measure, perphaps, ON
the destiny of this island, the sole COL
ony. properly speaking, actually pos
sessed by the Great Republic.

Tribute 10 President Roosevelt,s Mother.

6AAOGeS So AbSSEUSUg E&VUSCFEis . HhUkHGEs
An esteemed friend OF the editor OF
The Chief-a typical gentleman and
scholar of the old school, who was
born and reared in Georgia, but now
resides in one of the Florida parishes
OF this state-Wrote to the editor sew
eral weeks ago, acknowledging receipt
Of package of back numbers Of this
paper, and we take the liberty of re-
producing the following paragraph
from the letter:
II read in one of the papers for the
first time the words used by Gov.
Vardaman about the presidents
mother. When tell you that I knew
Mrs. Roosevelt before her marriage
well, and loved her devotedly: when L
tell you that the last time I saw her
was when she kissed me lying in bed,
believing that was near death, you
will understand how indignant am.
With such a creature for governor,
what can be expected from Mississippi?
Mrs. Roosevelt was the most beautiful
and ia every way the most lovely
woman ever knew, and though was
but twelve years of age when she bid
me farewell, remember her face as If
! had seen it yesterday. I fear com
pliment Mr.. Vardaman when I term
him a dirty beast -

SUGAR sQUiBs
Items Of Interest From Field and Factory.
Opening of the Grinding Campaign
in Aacansiora and EIaewhara

Items of Interest From Field and Factory.
Opening of the Grinding Campaign
in Ascension and Elsewhere.
All the sugar factories in the parish,
with the exception of Col. J. S. Web
ster's Point Houmas, have gotten un-
der way during the past week. The
weather has been ideal for the opening
of the grinding campaign. Warm,
clear days with cool nights have pre-
vailed during the entire week and
Thursday night the temperate went
down TO A degrees. Most planters
complain Of scarcity Of labor, which
is probably due to the late gathering
Of the cotton crop.
Tt is yet too early to secure figures
concerning the results being obtained.
Reports show good tonnage, but poor
sugar yield.
At 3. Fl. Barton's St. Emma factory,
which began Monday, everything is
working smoothly. Mr.. Barton says
that the tonnage is very good, but the
cane is green and that the juice only
weighed 81 Beaume.. Labor is plenti-
full at ST. Emma.
Dehon & Preiean's Lula factory got
of Wednesday of last week and
nothing has since happened to cause
the machinery to stop.
The Miles Company's New Hope
factory, on the west side of the Mis-
sissippi, and their big Houmas Cen
trail, on the east side, started Monday
morning and everything is running
smoothly at both houses. There are
big crops on all the places that send
cane to Houmas Central and in all
probability this factory will be still
going long after 1905 is ushered in.
e. & j. Rocks Belle Alliance fac
tory began Monday morning and re-
ports from there are to the effect tn at
the tonnage is heavy and the cane
green. Nothing has occurred to stop
the machinery.
The Belle Helene Planting and Man
ufactnring Company's Belle Helene
factory got under way Tuesday.
The Lemann Company, Ltd, started
their Palo Alto factory last Saturda y.
This place has undergone a lot of
improving and is now one of the best
equipped factories in this section.
The Lemann Company will not operate
their Belle Terre factory at all this
season, sending all the cane from
Belle Terre, Crescent and Peytavin
plantations TO the Palo Alto factory.
Formerly Belle Terre ground this
cane, while Palo Alto took care of the
yield of Souvenir and Palo Alto, but
this year the Lemann Company de-
cided to send all this cane TO the Palo
Alto factory and made extensive re-
pairs and built railroad, with a
pontoon bridge at Crescent, to enable
them to get this cane TO the mill.
The Evan Hall refinery OF the Nc
Call Bros Planting and Manufae
turing Company began operations
Wednesday.
Col. J. S. Webster's Point Houmas
factory, which was to have opened the
seasons campaign Wednesday, will
not start until some time next week.
The Chief is greatly Handicapped in
furnishing grinding notes by reason
OF the reticence Of the planters to speak
OF the results being obtained. It is
yet too early for some to be able to
say just what is being obtained from
the cane, but there are others who
know, yet will not divulge the infor
nation.

Monday, aged 81 years. Her remains
were brought to Donaldsonvllle We'd
nesday and inferred in the Catholic
cemetery, after services at the church.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever seen IN this section, attesting the
high degree OF esteem in which the
venerable lady was held by all who
knew her. Besides her husband, Mrs.
Guedry leaves son, Fl. J. Guedry,
and two daughters, Misses Marie and
Ursule Guedry, all Of whom reside at
st. Amant. To the bereaved family
and friends The Chief tenders sincerest
sympathy.
