name of Judge Thomas Burke is daily
mentioned by the leading politicians OF
Seattle in connection with the senatorial
election, and it is remarkable the great
number of favorable comments his name
receives. Judge Burke has for the past
ten years affiliated with the Republican
Party, and those who are coaching his
candidacy say of all the persons men

Judge Burke would come nearer making
an ideal United States senator than any.

Encampment Rates.

During the State Encampme6t 10
Coyington, the New Orleans and
Northeastern and East LOUISIANA
Railroads gave excursion rates to
Covingtcn. The Illinois Central,
the Texas Pacific and the Southern
Pac fic were also asked to give ex-
cursion rates.
The Illinois Central aud Texas
Pacific considered it was unneces-
sary to attempt to give an excursion
owing to'd,scouraging advices from
their agents.
With the Southern Pacific, how
ever, the case was different. aud
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Buffers therefore announced thai
tickets over the Southern Pacific
from all points IN Louisiana would
be sold TO Covlngeon for one fare
the round trip, good to arrive in
New Orleans on Monday night and
Tuesday morning, when connection
would be made with the Northeast

The above speaks we'll for the
enterprise, public spirit and patriot
ism of the officials of the Southern

Rice Farmers Regard
Birds as Best Friends.

The r,ceplanters have discovered
that BY drawing water from thei,
crop the birds attend to the red.
headed worms, which. have caused
some alarm, destroying item quick
~. The recent rains have caused
a general feeling that the crop Of
the Jufferson County district will
be at least an. average, If not bit
above.
There is a growing disposition
among the rice farmers OF Texas
to regard the birds as their friends,
and it is quite probable that many
of the big rice farms will in short
time be posted against hunters al
together, though in the past the
shooters have been welcomed dur
ing the duck season.
