strong.
The Treasurer's Books, l found
correct, with the exception of a
few clerical errors. On the debit
side of his cash book, page 13S,
you will note that his addition OF
the market funds was $40 more
than actual amount. On same
page, you will note that 45c he
received from the Collector for
account of 3 mill fund was not gu
tered, and also an error against
himself of lie in posting amount
in general fund column. Folio l6S
there is an error in posting 1c IN
his favor and folio 184 another
error in his favor of zoe. In add,
ing up warrants paid, l found two
errors in addition: one Of 81 in his
favor, and one Of $40 against him
all vouchers and cancelled cou
pons were accounted for and de-
liyered to me. The following is
his corrected statement:

official capacity Of City Attorney,
by in-tallmenls; and the receipts
gwen Merceron, by him, with the
execution of one for $50, whlth
Mr. Merceron lost, are now IN the
safe in the Collectors Office. Mr..
Uouss u1,unted 10 me that he had
received tie 5000, and that If l gave
him blank check on the State
National Bank, OF New IBERIA, he
would fill it out for 5000, in favor
Of the Corporation, m"h.i"y restit"-
Eou for the amount of that deficit.
OF course, ] told him that ! had no
sutbority to make any settlement
with bin.
The Streick transaction does not
differ very much from the Mercero"
transaction. Mr.. Streick paid 1ol-
lector D"p"y $50, and that amount
i credited to him on the books of
the Corporation THE $3.50 paid by
Mr. Streick. to City attorney
Uo,se. was not pail into the CITY
Treasury, Mr.. Ha"se returning same
Mr.. Streick also paid Mr.. Haase
SIS. -, which he says was charged
him for interest. The receipt gwen
by Mr.. IIaase, reads "On occo"nt.'
Mr.. Streick was first refunded $3.50
that warrant being dated May
2S,h, 1904, and then $3.50 on ian.
3rd, 1905. Both warrants were
approved By the Mayor. The Town
pad out $500 for the $3.50 it had
received, and city attorney Hasse
was richer on this transaction by
$3.50 Plus the $3.50 which he did
no, return to Mr.. Streick, nor did
he pay it INTO tue City Treasury.
The Landry transaction is OF a
different character. Mr.. Landry
paid only $3.50 and was refunded
$500. The first warrant was ISSUED
May card, 1904, and paid to Mr..
A. J. Cammack for Landry's &C
count. Mr.. Jules Landry when
interviewed by me, said that he had
received the $3.50 from M. Cam
mack, but not the $3.50, as shown
being paid Jan. Is, 1905. On be-
ing shown the endorsement Of K.
Landry OH the latter warrant, he
identified 1t as that of Mr.. Ralph
Landry. He left the office, promls-
ing to send Mr.. Ralph Landry to
me, but returning short while
after, and offered the following
explanation of that transaction:
He said tina, he was notified that
he had to pay $500, said amount
to cover Attorneys fees and interest
on the judgement standing aga'ns,
him, that the warrant of $3.50, Jan.
lst, 1905, was issued to HIM and
cashcd, and that he aided $40 out
Of his pocket TO that amount, max.
the $3.50. That ls all the explana.
ton ! could get of the Landry
transaction, and 1t appears that the
Corporation would have made a
gitt to Mr. Landry OF $3.50, 50 that
he might pay the $3.50, and that
only $40 came out of Mr.. Lsndry's
funds. Both warrants were approved
by the Mayor. In this case, it is
clear, no matter what might have
been the intention when the second

Trees in Poor Soil.

Among the numerous varieties Of
trees now in cultivation, there are
some that do better on poor soils than
on rich soils. On rich soils these
trees grow so rapidly and form so
much wood that it does not harden be-
fore winter comes. This is the case
with the European larch. This tree is
one of the most famous trees in Eu-
rope for the production of building
material. Larch wood is found in Eu-
ropean structures that are many cen
turtles old. The trees from which
those timbers were produced grew or
the tops of mountains in poor soil. II
was believed that the larch could be
made a valuable tree for our western
prairies. Many thousands of trees
were planted in all sections of the
prairie states. The rich soil of the
prairies caused a rapid growth, and
the wood produced lacked entirely the
quality Of the European larch. The
tops of these trees frequently froze off
in winter, and the wood when used for
building material or for fence posts
quickly decayed. Our tree growers
have long since concluded that if the
