A TERRIBLE SITUATION.
Kicks Against Mermentau Dam I'M
founded.

Hell's to pay in Cameron and no
pitch hot. According to the Lake
Charles American the FARMERS of
Cameron including Judge fomnet
and Can't. d. B. GOrham, OF Lake
Charles, are on their hind Ices and
paving the air. They are demanding
that the sacred palladium OF their
liberties be protected from the deScrat-
ing touch Of the predatory Greeks who
built the Mermentau dam to befoOl
them Of their sacred rights.
And it's time for the farmers OF
Cameron, including AgricuIturist
Fournet and Granger Gorbam, to get
on their hind legs and howl. The
Mermehtau dam is raising the very
devil from Dan to Beersheba. from
Ebenezer to Ikeville and from Fai-
quetaiQue to Queue de TOrtue. Ac-
cordingg to advices from Cameron,
with which Farmer Fournet and Gran
ger GQrham are familiar. the garfish
are eating the corn on the knobs Of
Cameron-an and the Mermentau dam is
to blame. From NermilliOn comes
the statement that the catfish are des-
troying the sweet potatoes near Guey-
dan Founders are biting the legs Of
the dairy maids at their work near
Iota and crabs are annoying the at
torneys of the dam opposers at Crow
ley. L; is said that jennings is full of
Holsters and the whole country is
flooded with suckers. And all on ac-
count of the Mermentau dam.
The only weak point with this
! agitation is that the shutters OF the
Mermentau dam are all open and
that structure forms no impeachment
to the free egress of the waters of the
Mermentau BASIN Crowley Signal.

NOT SURE OF THEIR ADVANTAGE.
North Peters Street Says Country Mills
Still Have the Age.

New Orleans Picayune; Secretary
Palmer of the local Rice association,
yesterday made the following state
ment about the new rice-rate schedule:
discussion among local ricemen
relative to the rates established by the
Railroad Commission for application
on rice shipments over the Southern
Pacific Railroad reveals that the Com
missions decision is not regarded by
them in the light of victory for the
New Orleans interests. While mate
rial reductions have been made in the
rates to the benefit of the industry in
general, they are of such as to rebound
more to the advantage of the country
mills, owing to the great reduction in
cleaning rice rates, which are sufficient
to more than offset the reduction in
rough-rice rates into New Orleans by
the mills here, and enable the country
mills to bring their rice to this market
at an even better basis than formerly,
from a freight rate standpoint, as COM
pared with the cost to the New Orleans
mills. Referring to the claims of the
country mills, referred to in the Plea
yune of the 18th, that the new rates
| placed them at a disadvantage, 1t is
stated that the rates published by the
commission are, in fact, those asked
for by the country mills. and that they
we're favored by the commissioner
from that district, because they were
understood to be entirely satisfactory
to the ricemen of the interior and to
protect their interests thoroughly. 1t
is we'll known fact that the country
ricemen, who were at first opposed to
the reduction asked for by the city,
have lately come out in favor of the
reduction, which is explained by the
fact that they realize that it would re-
dound to their advantage. Owing TO
the higher cost of operating in the city
and the greater weight of rough rice,
on which city mills pay freight, than
that of the corresponding amount OF
the clean, on which the country mills
are assessed. it is practically impossi-
BILE to make rate that will give the
New Orleans mills an actual cOmpeti.
tive advantage over those OF the int.
rior, and the most they had to expect
in the fight just closed before the com
mission was to obtain as near an equal,
ity with the country mills as q fair and
lust rate basis would afford. While
they have not obtained the scale o.
rates which they asked and to which
they felt they were entitled yet some
thing has been accomplished to beneti
the rice industry of the State, and the
New Orleans rice people feel that il
the struggle they have borne the bur
den and heat of the day, and the coun
try has secured the lions share of thu
benefits.

Another part of our plan should be

will be both interesting and instruct

sons, drawing on the board as the
lesson is explained, or by preparing

also be illustrated by objects, as in

RUSSIA MAY Be HYPNoTIzED" BY
THE kAIsER.-A correspondent: of the
Chicago News, at st. Petersburg, cables
the important information Gf true)
that a foreign diplomat OF prominence,
who is there on an important mission,
says that war is likely to continue and
peace overtures come to nought, SIM
ply because the Kaiser wants it to be
80. He claims that the Hohenzollerns
run Russia; Prussian junkers pre-
dominate in the Cars councils, and
the banks, stores, railroads and ships
are in their hands. As an evidence
of the Kaiser's powers, it is noted that
lately the United States Ambassador
in Russia, advocated the removal OF
extra duties from American products.
The proposition was considered favor.
ably. until Germany protested, and the
relief was not granted. In view OF
Germany's late treatment of France,
likewise, it looks as if the Kaiser is
becoming the autocrat and dictator OF
Europe.

CITY.-The birthrate in New York
city is one every five minutes; at
least that was the record OF the Health

is probably fair index to the general
average the remainder of the year.
Five or six years ago the percentage
was 26 per 1000; last year it was 30

are that it msy be 81 per 1000 of
population, which is larger than of
