A NEW PROPOSAL

York.-New Russian Internal Loan
Failure.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 22.-1t has
been decided to postpone until tomor
row the meeting OF the peace confer
ence which was to have taken place
this afternoon The failure of the
secretaries to complete their protocols
is given as the reason.
Witte has not received the final
tersburg 1t was expected this morn
ing, but did not come, and therefore
by NJ. Witte's authorization. Mr..
Plencon, who was hard at work up
on the Russian protocol. went to Mr..
Sato. the Japanese secretary. and
suggested the postponement of the.
conference. Baron Komura approved,
and the announcement was issued.
AS the situation now stands. M.
Witte could not if he would recede
or compromise on either Article 5
(cession of Sahkalin) or Article 9
payment @ indemnity. Although
there is still a possibility that the
Russian emperor will take President
Roosevelt's advice and take the only
step which the President thinks can
save the conference from wreck.
There is a strong inrimation that
the Japanes are prepared to make
proposition when the conference
re-assembles, but there is nothing to
indicate that they are disposed to re
cede from their positions on either
Articles or 9.
At one o'clock today a personal
representative of President Roose-
welt was closeted with M. Witte and
Baron Rosen at the navy yard. The
appointment for the conference was
made through Secretary Pierce last
night. 1t is not yet known who the
emissary of the President is.
LATER-The conference between
NJ Witte and the Presidents messen-
ger ended at ITO this afternoon. NJ.
Witte and Baron Rosen returned to
their hotel The Presidents messen-
ger remained behind in the naval
stores building.

Special to the Record
Artesia, N. M, Aug. 22.-The Arte-
STA people are jealous in their efforts
to protect the settlers of their dis
trict in the peaceful enjoyment of
their property rights, and as a prelim-
mary step have organized the Pecos
valley Protective Association, which
association has as it's purpose the
quieting of titles and frowning down
unfounded and ungrounded contest
proceedings, which they claim are
often instituted for mere BLOOD
MONEY"
Tomorrow at the Roswell Land Of
fee the contest case of Joe Davis vs.
Nora d. Clayton will be heard. The
land in question was originally lied
upon by Mrs. Maggie Easley, wife of
James j. Easley, who now resides. IN
Dallas county, Texas Mr.. and Mrs.
Easley are in Artesia today and will
be in Roswell tomorrow to testify
in the said contest proceedings Be
it said that the presence of Mr. and
Mrs. Easley here to testify speaks
volumes for them. To come all the
way from Texas at their own expense
shows how sacredly they regard their
oath in filing upon the land contes-
ted. and how anxious they are to
overcome any erroneous ideas that
may prevail regarding their residence
in New Mexico at the time of their
filing, and moreover, to rebut any
thing that might arise through depo-
sitions wrongfully taken by an un-
scrupulous notary public. (Signed)

the proposition to levy a special
tax of 5 mills for 10 years by the
property owners of the town of

matter Of public Improvement.
1t is only a few months since that
Opelousas voted a similar tax in
aid of the Opelousas, Gulf and
Northeastern r. r., by hand
some majority, and now our peo-
pie have emphasized their public
spirit last Thursday by practically
a unanimous vo+e-only one bal
lot out Of the 211 being cast in

an assessment of $346,545, and

OPELOUsAs, PARISH OCTOBER
A Depl0rable Tragedy.

A deplorable shooting affray
took place at Vile Plate Wednes-
day afternoon resulting in the
killing of DR.. z. T. Young, a
prominent physician of that
neighborhood, by Dougal Thomp-
son the % year old son of DR.. E.
Thompson also a prominent ply
sician Of the same place. There
is no absolutely authentic account
of the affair obtainable at this
time but it appears that the
trouble had its origin many
months ago. On Wednesday, it
is said, DR.. Young met Dougal
and Chester Thompson in the
public road and there were some
words as to who should give the
right of way, the parties separ-
ated, however, without further
difficulty and met some time
later in the afternoon when pis-
tolls were drawn and fight en-
sued during the course of which
DR.. Young lost his life. The
Thompson boys were unhurt and
just after the difficulty surren-
dered themselves to an officer.
DR.. Young's death was much
regretted in this town where he
was we'll known and had many
friends to whom his untimely
death was severe shock. DR..
Young was prominent figure in
parochial politics, having served
a term in the State Legislature,
and was also candidate for sher.
iff and coroner, he having been
defeated for the latter office at
the last election by small mar
gin.
DR.. Young was Sc years of age
at the time of his death. He was
buried Thursday afternoon at
Church Point.

Letter to Opelousas Doctors.
OPELoUSAS

Dear Sirs: For your house, no
matter what's the matter with
tit isn't a human you know-a
prescriptions:
Devoe lead-and-zinc. Apply
with brush, from one to three
coats-get a painter to do it.
Seven state chemists know all
about Devoe; have aualyzed it;
report it pure; will analyze it oc-
.casionally. They buy it in the
open market whenever they like.
You know what the color and
dryer are for; do you know what
the lead-and zinc and oil are for ?
Not being painter, you may not
choose to know; but we'll tell
you.
Lead-and-zinc and oil combine
to form a rubbery waterproof
coat to keep out dampness.
That's the whole business,
The oil would do it alone;
lead-and-oil would do it without
the zinc; zinc and oil without the
lead; but the three together are
best, because they wear best.
We say to you, ssget painter, :
as we'd say to him 'sget a doc
tor'-every man to his trade.
Can't all be painters and doctors
don't want to.
You will be more successful IN
a prosperous looking house; and
be in good health. Take good
care of one another.
Yours truly,

A New Parish Contemplated.

AA nAco AhOOOluS anu bdA oOSAC
is being held at Vile Plate to-
day where a boom is being
launched for the creation of
new parish, to be called Evange-
line, and which it is proposed
will be created out of the western
portion of ST. Landry. This
movement is not a new one by any
means, and as far back as fifteen
years ago bill was introduced in
the legislature to create a parish
called Evangeline, the proposed
lines of which, we understand,
were practically the same as those
suggested at this time.
While we have not given the
matter sufficient consideration to
lead us to any fixed opinion rela-
tive to the advlsability or inad-
visibility of once more slicing off
a portion of st. Landry's terrific
ry, we are prepared to state that
the matter is not without merit
and is deserving of mature con-
sideration. Since it is proposed
to submit the question of devid-
ing the parish to a vote of the
people we cannot but commend
the spirit of fairness and good
faith evinced by those back of the
present movement, as contrasted
with the arbitrary and undemocra-
tic scheme of railroading the mat
ter through the legislature with
out giving the people an opportu-
nifty either to ratify or repudiate
the measure as has been at
tempted in the past. By apply
ing to the legislature for an
enabling act to bring the issue
fairly before the people for their
decision the promoters of the
scheme to create the parish of
Evangeline have done wise
thing, and have already put such
a badge of sincerity on their en-
terprise as will entitle it to more
than passing consideration. And
this good step has already borne
its fruit as three of our legisla-
Itors-Hons. j. j. Bailey, Peyton
r. Sandoz and Dudley L. Gull
beau, we are informed, have ex-
pressed their entire willingness to
vote for the passage of an en-
abling act, while it is safe to
predict that neither of these gen.
ltlemen would care to assume the
responsibility Of voting, as legis-
lators, for bill creating the par
lish until the matter has been put
before the people and by them
favorably considered.
The COURIER stands now, has
always stood and will ever stand
for the good of st. Landry and
it's people and we would not favor
a measure not designed for their
welfare and upbuilding, and, if
latter mature consideration of the
lrelative merits and demerits OF
this proposed new parish move
lmont we find that it will be to the
peoples interest to support the
measure, the promoters OF the
|scheme can count on our unqual-
lifted assistance, but, on the other
hand, if the matter fails to reveal
1.-The proper merit we will as GER
tainfy aud as unqualifiedly oppose
lit. Therefore will we ponder the
matter carefully and conscien.
ciously.
