The assessment roll for Grant pa

The assessment roll for Grant par
ish fled with the Auditor by Assessor
j. A. Harvey foots up $2,276,625,
an increase over the assessment Of
last year OF $70,O95. This increase
is only little over 8 per cent. For
a number Of years the increase in val
ues in Grant has been from 5 to 8
per cent each year. This year the
usual increase is probably reduced
some by the large lot of denuded OF
"cut over" lands given in by the saw
mills.

The COTTON crop Badly Injured.

Ine COCtOn crop lSaOiy luJireOs
The cotton crop in Grant parish
has beencut much shorter than many
suppose. Two months ago we had
the finest prospect for a big crop there
has been for several years, but within
the last sixty days it seems to have
suffered from as many evils as usually
affect the crop in an entire season.
The ravages of the boil worms have
been greater than they have been for
several years, and the continued
rainy season has caused the cotton
to shed q large portion OF the crop
that we had every reason to believe
would mature.
In order to form an estimate Of the
damage wrought, and the consequent
shortage OF the crop, We have made
inquiries among a number of our
planters. Mr.. j. H. McNeely, who
cultivates two or three thousand
acres, estimates that his cotton crop
will be from % to 80 per cent short
of what he thought he would make
two months ago. Mr.. F. B. Dean.
who cultivates lands on Cane river,
has closely examined the crops on
the Natchitoches side, and also in
Grant parish in the Fairmount and
Walnut Grove neighborhoods, and he
says he estimates the crops in those
localities as cut short fully one-third.
Mr.. j. T. Davis, clerk Of registration,
who is making his rounds for thepur-
pose OF registering the voters, has
seen a great many of the hill crops.
and talked with the farmers in the
hills, and he says they are generally
OF the opinion that their cotton scut
short nearly one-half. In fact, he
says the hill people have made all the
cotton they can expect. The dry
weather since the rains stopped has
Lcaused the hill cotton to throw ofl
nearly everything, the weed is about
dead, and it cannot make any more
cotton than that already set on the
stalk.

Sharp Fighting Yesterday.


Gen. Kuroki's Headquarters in Jhe

anese gave stirring exhibition Of
sharp and determined fighting vest
erday They drove the Russians from
high hill ten miles east of the rail-
road in General Kuroki's front, which
is important strategically as a post
of observation. and was the only post
south of the Shake river which the
Russians held. About a regiment OF
Russians were entrenched there with
five machine guns.
The Japanese rushed the Russian
trenches, shot many Russians as they
were running down the hillside erd
captured two machine guns The ia >
anese had twenty killed and eighty
wounded. The Russians left thirty
dead on the field. There was a hani
to hand encounter when the trenches
were taken. The Russians retired
across the river and when the Jap
anese flag was raised over the tower
surmounting the hill the Russians
showered shrapnel upon it for an
hour, but without result.

London, Oct 2S-A statement has
just been issued by the Russian en-
bassy as follows: eve are in cons
tant communication with the British
government AS a result of these
communications the embassy hopes
that there will be a speedy and salts
factory settlement. The whole aspect
of the situation has decidedly inn
proved"
The orders from ST. Petersburg to
detain the Russian fleet at Vigo until
the conclusion of the present Russo
British negotiations eliminates what
was regarded here as one of the most
dangerous features of the situation
namely the possibility of prema-
ture collision between the British
and Russian squadrons.
The cabinet today considered the
Russian proposition to submit the
question of individual responsibility
to a commission The details of the
examination of this commission have
not yet been quite determined upon,
but Russia has expressed a willing
ness to detach the commander of the
second Pacific squadron and such 9th
er individual officers as may be found
to have been directly concerned in
the firing for examination by the com
mittee. The cabinet meeting took up
shortly before two o'clock, the minis
ters laughing and chatting and feel
ing apparently in the happiest frame
of mind, thus confirming the belief
that a crisis is in fair way to be dis
sipated.

Admiral to Remain at vieo.

ST. Petersburg. Oct. 2S.-The admir-
atty authorizes the statement tlIat
Admiral Rojestvensky has been in
structed to remain at Vigo, Spain,
pending the inquiry into the North
sea incident. A high admiralty Off
Ger said to tie Associated Press: q
consider that the acute stage of this
deplorable misunderstanding is over.
l do not countenance for one minute
the wild insinuations that .TSritish tor
pedo boats were the aggressors, but
cannot explain the presence of two
mysterious torpedo boats. ] cannot
believe that they were Russian boats
returning to join the feet, and that
they were mistaken for foes. But if
this turns out to be the case it was
Rojestvensky's duty to protect his
ships from what he considers a hos
tile attack
