Louisiana State horticultural
Society.

The annual meeting of the Louisi-
ana State Horticultural Society will
be held in Garig Hall at the Louisi-
ana State University, at Baton
Rouge, La, on February IL and IL,
1908. All the railroads are offering
a fare OF one and one-third, plus
twenty-five cents, for this meeting.
Upon some of the railroads the Ger
tificate plan will be followed, and in
either case the agent will be in
structed and give the needed informa-
tion.
The program will be full OF valua-
ble papers and discussions Of great
interest to those engaged in horticul-
tural work. The following subjects
are already on the program: Peach,
Orange, Strawberry, Pear. Plum,
Apples, Pecans, Truck Growing, and
Home Adornmenta and Flowers. The
best practical growers will lead in the
discussions, assisted by members of
the staff of the State Experiment
Station. A representative is also
expected to be present from the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.

OF an official of the New Orleans land

the second case because / do not
propose to show the prosecution the
absurdity of the charge previous to
the trial."
The arrest of Senator Wallace
caused something OF a sensation be-
cause OF his prominence, but his
friends declare that he will have no
trouble in clearing himself of the
charges. The federal officials are
giving out no information az to the
remaining indictments and arrest for
obvious reasons. but it is expected
that other arrests in connection with
the homestead indictments will fol-
low. 1t is also probable that there
will be arrests within short time of
the parties indicted on the peonage
charges.-Shreveport Times, january

The returns from all over the State
have not yet been tabulated, but the
parishes yet to hear from will change
the result but little. The returns to
hand up to the Chronicle going to

The election in Grant parish, as
we'll as all over the State, pasesd off

were fixed up yesterday afternoon
and Senator Wallace was released
pending notice of trial.
A Times reporter called upon Sem
ator Wallace at the Caddo last night.
He was accompanied by his son-in-
law, Mr.. E. E. Kidd, a young attor-
ney of Winfield, who is associate
counsel for Senator Wallace. Senator
Wallace did not appear to be dis
turbed by the charges against him
and expressed confidence in his COM
plete vindication on trial of the cases
in the federal court. Senator Wal
lace has been United States land
commissioner at Winfield for sew
eral years past and the indictments
grew out of transactions in which he
was involved in that capacity.
Il was surprised when Marshal
Oneal told me that he came for the
purpose of arresting me, although l
had heard about two weeks ago that
/ was one OF the men against whom
indictments had been returned by the
grand jury. l had intended comiug
to Shreveport and making an inves-
tigation to see if this was true, but l
decided that the officials would give
out no information and did not
come.

President E. L. Stephens, of the
Southwestern Industrial Institute, at
Lafayette, La, has announced the
second term of the Institutes third
session, to begin on Monday, January
25, and end May 26. The Institute
is particular well provided this term
for the accommodation of young la
dies. The splendid new brick dormi-
tory of twenty rooms and q large
refectory, with Mrs. Elizabeth +.
Baker as matron, constitutes an al
together delightful, cultivated and
hospitable home. And the young
men are comfortably placed with
private families near the school
grounds. Arrangements are being
made by which the telegraphic de-
partment will be placed in charge OF
one of the chief train dispatchers of
the Southern Pacific railroad now
stationed at Lafayette, without in
terfering with his duties as train dis
patcher. Being in the actual service
of the railroad Mt the same time that
he is directing this department in the
Institute, he will be in the best posi-
bic position to turn out thorough,

cember Cosmopolitan Magazine The ar
ticle was written by John Brsben Walker,
and from it the following excerpts are
taken:
There can be no question that entrance
to Manchuria was part of a long precOn
certed plan. Very likely the Boxer troubles
were stirred up with a view to giving ex,
cuse for this entry and distracting the at
tentiOn of the world
Having entered, Russia had no intention
of leaving. The pretense of evacuation was
only because at the time she was not ready
to begin battle. Other nations, and espe-
cially the United States, have been blind to
what this movement really meant.
Russia is now established along the
frontiers, its forts built, and it's navies in
the eastern harbors or Asia. More
than $4,000 Russian troops are either on
the ground or within CALL as the nucleus of
an army of occupation 1t would require
but short time to drill natives in order to
get half million men in the field, sweep
down on Picking and over Northern China.
Let the civilized world stop its pleasures
and its business long enough to consider
this spectacle and ask, whence will the
force be brought to combat the Russian
forces in China: But let Russia annex
fOpsNoo,ooO VI SlllllcSc SuDJcClS, dllu Will
this low priced labor build ornaments: then
India and Persia are certain to fall.
America feels confident in her strength,
and, added to England and France, we i'm
agine that we might conquer the world
But where would these three nations
stand if Russia had at command two thirds
of the worlds population? Does she need
money to conduct her campaign? By weight
of numbers she would move down and cap
ture it.
If Russia should be permitted to retain
her position in Manchuria, the Cossack will
presently hold the world by brute force
l am opposed to war. | do not believe
in war. [ hope there will never be another
war. But if there can be just war it is
called for now. Either America and South
ern Europe must fight Russia at this time
or concede to her all of Asia.
Manchuria is but the stepping stone to
China China captured, the balance of
power is determined.
The hundred years covered by Ma
poleon's prediction has decade to run-a
decade in which to determine whether the
world is to be Cossack or republican.

to Alaska, albeit his views on it's agricultu-
raj possibilities are eminently sound, and for
this he is entitled to credit. The fact of the
matter is that Gov. Braday cannot divest
himself of the "missiOnary instinct" 1t
clings to him as it does to that practical
man of affairs, Rev. Sheldon jackson, who
has done more for himself than he ever did
for Alaska. Gov. Brady has yet to learn,
it would seem, that while Alaska is the home
of the savage, and that it presents an allur-
ing field for missionary enterprise, it's re-
sources and interests can be better displayed
and subserved in gathering together sam
pies of it's productions, rather than by a
Hydah house, totem poles and collection
of dirty curios and equally dirty natives
No effort whatever has been made by the
governor of Alaska to obtain any exhibits
from this section. Yet if he had shown any
interest whatsoever (outside of the Hydah
houses and totem poles of Southeastern
Alaska) we are inclined to think creditable
display of mineral products could have been
secured.

The THIRD ON THE LIST.

There is small doubt that the govern
ment of the United States is fast awakening
to the fact that there is something in Alaska
curios. This is evidenced by the fact that
the military forces at the different posts,
already established are to be increased. A
million dollars is to be spent in the construc-
ton of coaling station on Akutan island,
Dutch Harbor will probably be fortified for
strategic reasons; new lighthouses will be
built, railroads may be subsidized and ap-
preparations made for wagon roads. All of
which augurs well for the future The
period of absolute neglect and supreme in
difference seems to have passed Why !?
Because it has at last dawned upon the pow
that be that Alaska is ''wOrth looking
after" The report of the director of the
mint for 1902, published last fall shows that
Alaska was third on the list of American
possessions in the production of precious
metals. And it's great stores of these are as
yet practically untouched. The output will
steadily increase as the country is opened
up and developed. In order to do this sue
cessfully, however, the Congress and gov
eminent must adopt liberal policy toward
Alaska. We want territorial government
and one or more delegates in Congress.
Given these we will be able to rid ourselves
of many of the burdens we now have to bear,
even if we have to assume others. The lat
ter will be less obnoxious and more easily
borne than are those under which we now
suffer.

the GOVERNOR AND HYDAH HOUSE.

Gov. John G. Brady is being roundly
condemned by the Independent press of
Southeastern Alaska because of his action
regarding the Alaska building and exhibit
at the st. Louis exposition this year. The
building will, it is said, represent Hydah
house, that is, it will be typical of the houses
built by that tribe of Indians in Southeast
ern Alaska. 1t will also be surrounded by a
large and likely number of totem poles, and
it's interior will no doubt be redoent of the
smells which dirty native curios and furs of
various kinds, in abundance, will produce
Gov. Brady, if we are correctly informed,
has taken pains to impress upon the people,
who will gaze upon Alaskas Hydah house
at the worlds fair, that all we produce in
Alaska are Indians, totem poles and curios.
These will be the central features of Alas
ka's exhibit.
Gov. Brady may have been an up-to-date
man, say twenty five or thirty years ago,
but he passed the stage of active usefulness
several years ago. He does not seem to be
able to rise from the Hydah house totem
pole.curio polar bear iceberg era, and there
i'll he has shown that he is no longer useful

AS TO TIN PROSPECTS.

The tin discoveries made last fall in the
York region seem to have created consider
able interest in the States. Already one
Pacific coast newspaper, alive to the inter
ests of it's constituency, is advocating the
erection of tin, iron and other kinds OF
shelters for the purpose of treating ores
from Alaska. This shows that the mineral
resources of this territory are being rapidly
recognized. Northern Alaska is already
producing millions of gold yearly from its
placer grounds: soon it's quartz mines will
be productive. That gold quartz mining is
destined to play an important part in the
mineral history of this section has been
already demonstrated. Thus early in the
mining history of Seward peninsula a
quartz mine of more than ordinary promise
has been developed. This is the Hurrah
mine, on Solomon river While still in it's
infancy, it certainly promises to prove a
wonder
But as to tin quartz mining: 1t is still
in its infancy. That there is large area
of ground which will produce what is
known as ''stream tim need not be said. 1t
has been demonstrated already, and from
this source alone large amount of money
is sure to be derived. Tin lodges in place,
however, are quite different matter. Last
year many locations of lodges or alleged
lodges were made. A considerable quantity
of the ore was brought to Nome: assays
We're made which proved satisfactory, and
quite quantity of the ore was shipped to
the outside for treatment. Tests made there
were also satisfactory, SO much so, indeed,
that Alaska tin propositions are command
ing great attention. Capital is being inter
ested and the coming season will probably
witness great activity in the development
of tin quartz properties.
1t is yet rather early to indulge in pre-
dictions. Whether the tin lodges are per-
manent and of value has yet to be deter
mined. Only development work will prove
this. We are inclined to the belief that
this section of Alaska will develop into the
greatest tin producing section of the world.
All the indications point that way, but, as
we have stated, work only will tell the true
tale. Booms of all kinds should be avoided,
and SO far as the actual tin finds are con-
cerned there is nothing as yet to warrant
any undue excitement.
The Nome nugget. (Nome, Alaska) 1901-1904, 1904-02-20
IS GOOD GOVERNMENT NEEDED?

There seems to be a disposition on the
part of some people to ''knock" the recent
ly formed Good Government Club. We dc
not know why, except that it may be be-
cause of the newspaper support which il
has already enlisted, which of itself, il
must be confessed, is most doubtful guam
tity. After rather careful examination OF
the aims and objects of the Good Govern.
ment Club it would appear that they are
eminently fair and sound. The personnel
of the club is such as to recommend it and
it's objects to the careful attention of all
those who have any real interest in the vel
fare of the community as whole. We fail
to discern any Interior object or motive in
its organization. Its officers are we'll known
men-men who are above the suspicion OF
petty graft or personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The movement which called forth it's organ
ization was spontaneous, and if it be not
productive of the ends which it was organ
lied to secure, namely, better and more
economical municipal government, we be-
lieve the fault will not be with the club, but
will be attributable to the Indifference and
inaction of the people of the community.
Good government, whether it be municipal,
state or national comes from the people.
So does bad government The men who
administer it are merely the peoples ser
wants. Notwithstanding the fact that they
sometimes become trife "bigitty" and
imagine themselves in their unwisdom
greater than the power which created them.
AS rule, however, they are soon disabused
of such idea.
We believe the people of Nome desire to
see reforms effected in the management of
city affairs. If they so elect, these can be
brought about without much difficulty.
Cavilling, impugning the motives of those
men who are earnest in reform, knocking
and belittling their apparently sincere and
honest purposes will not help the opponents
of decent government, but it may retard the
work of those men whose sincere desire it
is to do what they can to place the metrop-
oils of Northwestern Alaska on a sound
financial basis. The NUGGET has no axe
to grind in the forthcoming municipal cam
paign. 1t has but one object in view, and
that is to see, as far as it is able to do so,
that an honest, economical and competent
city council and school board are elected
And this is, we believe, the desire of the
great majority of the people of this com
munity.
