No Yellow Fever.
Lafayette Advertiser,


DIR. Tarleton, member of the
State Board of Health, was in La.
fayette Sunday to investigate con.
ditions here. He interviewed q
number of the physicians, all Of
whom stated that not single case
OF yellow fever existed in Lafay-
cite, nor was there even a remote
ly suspicious case.
Lafayette at present is one of
the healthiest towns in the State,
very little sickness of any kind ex-
listing here. aud DIR. Tarleton re-
marked after his interviews with
the physicians that Lafayette GER
tslnly was in a fine healthy condi-
ton.

Great Britain's Cotton Exper

Texas Farm and Ranch.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
The British government is. strain
ing every effort to grow cotton
commercially in West Africa. Mr..
G. G. Dudgeon, the official in
charge of this mammoth enter
prise, called at Farm aud Ranch
Office last week sud talked in q
most interesting manner of cotton
growing conditions in that region.
This government work is indepen-
dent of that carried on with SO lit
tie success for two seasons past by
the British Cotton Growing Asso-
citation, organized by the English
Spinners under government char
ter. The work to be carried on
by Mr.. Dudgeon will be more sys-
tematic and despite unfavorable
labor conditions and insect pests
he hopes to establish the cotton
industry permanently within a few
years.
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1905-09-30

The native negroes are the only
labor in that region. The climate
is so severe upon the whites of any
race that there is no hope of i'm
porting white labor for field work.
The natives are in savage or half
savage state, and have no desire
to improve their condition. A
bare existence is all sufficient.
These people use cowrie or shells
for money. much after the same
manner that wampum was en-
ployed by American Indians. Mr.
Gudgeon expects to interest these
people by paying them for work
in merchandise. Plantation stores
will supply this needful in all va
rieties and forms pleasing to the
negro eye and appetite. Like
much of the half breed folk of our
Latin American countries these
natives will not work 60 long as
there is food in the hut or thatch.
A Hondurean rice planter found
this true to bis sorrow. In visit
ing the homes of these Iaborers
and calling on them to come out
aud work, be was often met with
the answer, me got rice today,
me no work."
This thriftIess population is not
the only drawback. The moist
climate is such as to favor the
multiplication of every insect pest
that has any fondness for cotton.
These must be controlled. The
type of cotton to be grown will
not be the American upland nor
Sea Island nor crosses of these.
The Indian cotton has been cho-
Sen instead. This resembles the
Welborn or the Dixon in its pecu-
liar mountaineering habits.
After surveying the conditions
above described there seems little
reason to fear that the cotton crop
OF the world will be grown to any
large extent in West Africa. Ef.
forts in the Argentine are at this
time more promising than in any
of these foreign cotton fields.

Well Known Here.

The following write-up ac-
companied by a half-tone appear
ed in one of the Ashland papers
of George F. Elgin who for
many years was a citizen OF
this city:
George F. Elgin was born in
Oregon in 1861, but has resided
IN Ashland only a few years.
Two years ago he was appointed
on the police force and stationed
in the railroad district. There
he made name for. himself as a
terror to hobos, and not Weary
Raggles that ever passed through
Ashland while he was On duty,
but will remember his convinc-
ing way of asking them to 'keer
right on going"
Last September he was ap.
rointed chief of police. Hi:
record has been Al. Though
slight of build, he is perfectly
fearless and the lawbreaker OF
Suspect that tries to resist
makes the mistake of his life.
He is exceedingly Jealous, ane
while some have criticized hin
along that line, the great majority
of the citizens consider that al
abundance of zeal is a very goo,
fault in this day of easy-goinl
officers, and consequently feel
sense of security not always en-
|joyed by residents of a railroa'
town.

Belshazzar at the Opera House
Success.

A good-sized audience greeted
those who took part in the pro-
duction of "Belshazzar, or the
Fall of Babylon" at the Opera
House Wednesday Eve. The gen.
eral verdict is favorable, in::some
Instances fattering, to those who
participated. Everything pro-
gressed with remarkably few
bitches or Interruptions, consid-
ering the fact that it was given
by amateurs.
Lack of space prevents us from
going into detail in the matter,
but special mention should be
made of the solos of Miss Lulu
Spangler, Mrs. E. R. Lake, and
Otto F. L. Herse, although the
latter was harassed with a bad
cold. 1t was noticeable that nc
person having a solo part fell
down in the least; the drills were
good-the sash drill especially so.
The orchestra was quite effective
at times in its assistance. From
a musical standpoint there is moth,
ing great about Belshazzar.,
The affair was under the au'
spices of the Ladies' Aid SodietJ
of the Presbyterian church and
they have every reason to fee.
gratifed at their success. They
have worked hard and are deserv
ing of the success that has crown
ed their efforts.
1t is a matter of congratulatior
that Corvallis has sufficient talen
to produce a work of this nature
on so brief time for preparation
only ten or twelve days were
given to rehearsals for this work
