Bonchereau's Sugar Report for loO2-O5

The Chief is indebted to Alcee Bouche-
rean for a copy OF his report cover
ing theIouisiana sugar crop of 1902 03.
Mr.. Bonchereau is well known to the
sugar planters of Louisiana, as he
and his father before him have been
publishing annual reports of the
Louisiana sugar crop ever since the
civil war. Their reports, together
with those of their predecessor, Mr..
Champsommier, form complete his
tory of the sugar industry in the state
Of Louisiana, and are highly valued
by all who are interested or concerned
in the growth and development of the
industry. Concerning Mr.. Bouche-
reau's latest report, the Louisiana
Planter and Sugar Manufacturer has
the following to say:
'sThe total crop produced was $780,
226 long tons, exceeding the crop Of
1901 by nearly 5000 tons and again
breaking the crop record as to magni-
tnde. Our largest nineteenth century
crop was that of 1894, 81, 306 long
tons, while the crop Of 1901 was 321,-
676 long tons. The greatest ante bel
lum crop was that of 1853, the yellow
fever year, with a crop of 224, 1873 long
tons. The next largest crop, the one
harvested the first year of the civil war,
was 235, 856 long tons. After that our
sugar industry went to pieces, but
5331 tons having been produced in 1864,
and it is very pleasant to see the large
figures in production that We are now
gradually reaching on considerably
less area of land than was in sugar
cane before the civil war.
In the matter of production the
parish of St. Mary still stands in the
lead, with a production of SO, 900 long
tons. Lafourche comes next with 4O,-
0oolongtons. Assumptionfollows with
$4,000 long tons, with Terrebonne COM
ing next with 81, 900 long tons. Iberia
and Iberyille each show $1,000 long.
tons, and St. James parish is placed
at q, 900. Ascension has 10000 long
tons. Avoyells and Rapides, up in the
valley of the Red river, once notable
producers of sugar, are now far down
n the list, Rapides producing but 1000
long tons and Avoyelles only 794 long

Henry Gerstenlauer had lot OF fun
on April Fools day. He had a watcn
case with string attached, and when
any one tried to pick the case up from
the sidewalk, he jerked the string. Jud
Downing came along, put his foot on the
string, and took the case. Rumor has it
that Henry later received an express"
package, with charges to pay. Ask him.
The rains Of the past week made quite
a raise in the Arkansas river and Sun
day the commissioners thought best to
remove the floor from the temporary
bridge across the channel. 1t proved
damage done was the washing out OF
one piling and few feet of the sand ap-
proach. The bridge can be quickly re-
placed when the river goes down.
The first accident OF any consequence
since work started at the site of the new
factory occurred about $3.50 last Thurs
day afternoon. The crane of the large
steam hoist swung around aud struck
large steel column that had just been
put in position, knocking it over. A
number of workmen engaged in bolting
the beams overhead were brought down
with it and fell distance Of about 40
feet. Five of the men were more or less
hurt, and Claude Amos, Fred Marion
and Chas. Finn quite severely. Drs.
Hasty, Fewkes and Bartlett were prompt
ly called and all the injured we're taken
care of, and all are now reported TO be
getting along nicely.
Last Saturday evening at the home Of
vile, Miss Laura May Fortune was
united in marriage to Mr.. w. L. Easton
by Rev. Connell of the Presby terian
church. Only immediate relatives and
close friends were present. Mrs. Easton
is well known to Lamar people, as she
had resided here since her gIrlhood She
has been teaching In the public schools
Of Cripple Creek for the past two terms.
Her husband is principal Of the Victor
schools, and the new home will be in
that town. Mr.. and Mrs. Easton will be
at home, after May first next. Cards
announcing the marriage were sent to
many friends, who will all wish the
couple long and happy life together.
DIED-On last Thursday afternoon
Mrs. Elizabeth Reyher, at her home

ices were conducted by Rev. j. Il.
Knuckey at $50 Sunday afternoon, the
text for his sermon being the 10Th

The sermon was an Impressive and able
one, after which the remains were inter-
red IN the Fairview cemetery. The de-

COUNTRY MILLERS BUYING
DO NOT PROPOSE TO LET BIG
MILLS GET ALL THE GRAIN IN
NIGHT.

The report Of the Winona headquar-
ters Of the Chicago & North Western
railway, covering the movement Of
grain in the territory tributary, from
Aug. l to Jan. ], makes showing
almost sensational. The total wheat
receipts show shortage from last year
Of 100000 bushels.
During the six month period, the
North-W estern shipped, from stations
west of Mankato, to -four mills and to
terminal storage, 2,780 cars Of wheat.
That this movement has left the coun-
try almost bare, is indicated by the
estimate Of reserves, the company's re-
ports showing only 365,000 bushels in
country elevators along the line, and,
seed requirements excluded, 100000
bushels still in the hands Of farmers in
the neighboring country.
The country -four mills on the COM
pany's lines, will need, to Aug. next,
approximately 100000 bushels of
wheat, and there is an indicated short
age Of about 100000 bushels. The
mills must grind less or the wheat must
be brought in. It is the policy Of the
railway company to do everything posi-
bic to keep the industries along it's
lines in state Of activity.
Following this report came advices
this morning of heavy buying Of wheat
in country elevators by country mills.
The whole indicates that the country
millers do not propose to be shut out
entirely for lack Of material and are
anticipating scarcity later on. It also
indicates that some wheat in the coun-
try that Minneapolis would ordinarily
get, will not come in this year.
