in Illinois or Indiana. he could do that

II he wants to grow beets, he can make
more clear money from ten acres than
he can from the richest eighty acres
Of Illinois soil. II he wants to raise

to raise bees. there's no better spot

$1.75 per day. This answer to many
inquiries about the country Is the facts
as they exist. They have not been

come here. for that never pays. There
is room for thousands Of new peopft
In the Arkansas valley to help develop

Detention CAMP RULES.

The following instructions in
regard to the detention camp at
Avondale, now operated by the
Southern Pacific Railroad, h@vr
been issued by Superintendent
Cushing:
"Parties desiring to travel from
New Orleans to points in the in
terror, will apply to such points
as may be designated by DR.:
White in the Office Of the United
States Marine Hospital Service.
On obtaining permit, they will ap-
ply to our ticket Office, st. Charles
Hotel, where on payment for
ticket to detention in addition to
charge to cover board and ex-
penses of the camp they will b
issued tickets and an order Of ad-
mission to the camp. 1t is the IN
tention of the company to have
this camp self-sustaining, but to
make no profits from its operation.
The price fixed for board will be
81 per day, until it can be deh-
nitely ascertained what the cost OF
maintaining this camp is. 1t will
then be re-adjusted. Persons will
only be received in this camp
when en- route to points on our
line. The company does not OBJ
ligate itself to make this arrange
ment indefinitely, but it is hoped
that we will be able TO do SO until
after the quarantine restrictions
in the parishes are removed

The railroad clerks in Washing
ton are puzzling their brains over
a new problem which they claim
is a better one than the "How old
is Amp" problem. 1t is known
as the Gladys West Virginia
problem, where it had its origin.
Here it is: GA train one mile
long starts from the station of
Gladys. The engine leaves the
station ard the conductor waits
until the caboose comes. He
jumps on the caboose and walks
forward over the train. When the
engine reaches the next station
Oxley, four miles distant from
Gladys, the conductor steps off the
engine. How far does the con-
ductor ride and how far does he
walk"

The schooner Abel w Parker, bound down
the East River yesterday under full sail, was
in collision with two barges off the north end OF
Governors Island. Had it not been for the
quick work of the anchorage cutter Manhattan
in charge Of Lieutenant Perry and Pilot William
Bradley jr, several other craft would have
become entangled in the mix-up and beached on
Governors Island.
The schooner Abel W. Parker, from Nam
tucxet, in charge of Captain Snow, was sailing
rapidly down the East River and was unable to
avoid two scows in tow of tug Of the Coyken-
dali Towing Company. The strong ebb tide
caught the schooner and the tows and was rap
idly carrying them shoreward when the Man
haitian rushed in and put crew aboard the
scows. Ropes were cut and the entangled craft
separated
The Parker's martingale snapped and her
head stays sprung. One of the barges had a
hole torn in its side. The Manhattan made
fast to the Parker, which had all sails set, and
towed her to anchorage off Red Hook
