PREDICTS VICTORY
FOR DEMOCRACY
JUDGE LINDSEY MAY BE NEXT
COLORADO GOVERNOR
Mayor Speer Is Backing Jurist Who,
Though Small Physically,
Is a Giant In Pop
ularIty at Home

Democracy in Colorado at the next
election, with Judge Ben B. Lindsey as
candidate. will see the greatest vic
tory in the history of the Centennial
state" said Walter C. Triplet of Den
yer yesterday. at present at the Hotel
Westminster.
Judge Lindsey is today one of the
most popular citizens in not only Colo
RADIO but in the United States" con-
tinued Mr.. Triplet. "Since his organ
ization of the juvenile court and the
following wonderful results, he has be-
come one of the best known and widely
advertised men in the country.
Mayor Speer of Denver, who is back
ing Judge Lindsey, Is one OF the most
powerful forces in not, only Denver but
throughout the state. The coming elee-
tion will be one of the most hotly con-
tested in the history of Colorado, and,
although / believe that Senator Patter-
son and former Governor Adams will
receive a heavy poll, it is almost a GER
tainty that Judge Lindsey will be
elected.
Judge Lindsey, although a small man
physically and one who has played
comparatively little part in politics, is
by no means a small man in the execu-
tive. Inc WHICH he has lldi-
died the juvenile court and the wonder
full work that he has brought about is a
striking enough example OF the makeup
Of Judge Lindsey.
Popularity Counts
There is not a citizen of Colorado
who has not heard or seen a great deal
OF Judge Lindsey's work in the juvenile
court. 1t is popularity that will count
in the next election and Judge Lindsey
leads I'm this undoubtedly.
"His work in Colorado has been no
entirely different from that of either
Adams or Patterson that politics Will
play only a secondary part in the COM
ing election. 1t will be the merits OF
the individuals that will figure most
prominently. With the past that Judge
Lindsey has there is, in my mind, no
doubt as TO who the next governor OF
Colorado Will be. There are also many
Republicans In Denver that win 60
over TO the Democratic party purely on
account Of Judge Lindsey"
Mr.. Triplet said that the sudden news
that Judge Ben b. Lindsey was to be
candidate for governor OF Colorado was
received with the greatest surprise. I'M
medlately upon the announcement thai
Judge Lindsey would accept the nOmi-
nation Senator Patterson and former
Governor Adams announced themselves
as candidates. This made a split IN The
Democratic party

PEOPLE FLOCK To
PARK AND BEACH
ANGELEN0S SEEK RECREATION
IN THE OPEN
Rest on the Sands and in the Shade
of Trees Lures Thousands.
Everybody on the
Move

Thousands wishing to take advan-
tage of the band concerts and fresh,
cool air fiocked to the various Los An
geles parks and beaches yesterday.
Lawn parties were numerous. and
many dinners and lunches were spread
underneath the shade of the yawning
trees on the cool green grass.
At both Westlake and Eastlake parks
many people were to be seen rowing
and sailing around on the water. The
broad, sloping lawns presented a mass
of moving and squirming humanity.
and the proverbial keep off the grass"
sign was totally disregarded although
the day was an orderly one.
The desire for recreation also took
thousands Of AngelenOs to the various
beaches and mountain resorts.
At Long Beach people hocked the
shore. and the sand was almost
completely hidden under the garments
of the pleasure seekers. The steamship
lines had all they could handle in
caring for passengers who wished TO
enjoy the fourteen-mile ride 10 the gov
ernment breakwater and San Pedro.
Many people also took a boat ride to
Bay City. All places OF amusement
were crowded, and during the day the
pier was lined with many fishermen
and spectators watching the landing
CT the steamers and the progress OF
many yachts and sail boats that were
plOwing through the water. During
part OF the day the surf was somewha
choppy, adding to the excitement quite
a bit so far as the women bathers
were concerned.
Ideal Weather
Ideal weather was reported in the
mountain resorts and cool breezes
helped TO make the day an enjoyable
one. Hundreds visited Mount Lowe
during the day and many parties
climbed Mount Wilson 10 the peak,
where, upon its high, broad summit,
dinners were spread.
ocean Park was crowded with visit
ors who took considerable interest in
the yacht races which formed the days

Fishing at Ocean Park was fan and an
average days catch was reported.

Migrants Should Be Compelled Il
Work.

We raise the question since Welsh
is an incorporated town, why not use
the perrogatives OF corporated town?
Other towns and cities employ the vag-
rants, which infest their borders, to
work on their streets. NOW weeds.
break rock etc. We have plenty of
idlers who wont get out in the country
and do a days work, be the demand
ever so great: and we have an abun-
dance of weeds which interlap over
our walks so that in many instances
it is practically impossible for a lady
to 90 along the walks without getting
her clothes hedrabbled and torn by
the overhanging weeds and briars
The reason which is offered for this
condition of our walks. is that labor
cannot be obtained to put them in
shape. Now we suggest that the vag-
rants and idlers who loaf on our streets
and are menance to any society or
community where they abound, be set
to work moving weeds on the streets,
thereby benefting the city and justi-
flying their excuse for existance.

One Hundred and Fifty Head Of Cattle
Change Hands.

One of the largest cattle deals that
has been made for soma time was
closed this week In this transaction
A. r. McBurney Id to W. T. Hut
cheson one hundred and fifty head of
cattle which will be shipped to New
Orleans. Mr.. McBurney is becoming
one OF the leading cattle men of this
part of the parish, as we'll as one OF
the largest rice planters. He has be-
tween 400 and 800 head of stock on
his ranch ranging from native cattle
tohigh grade and thoroughbred Polled
Angus. which compare favorably
with stock of the same breed in the
far famed stock regions of the Cen
trail West. He says that stock in
connection with rice pays a double
dividend, first the profit on the stock.
second, the increase in the amount
and value Of the rice raised on land
pastureG by cattle the preceding year.

Ell Sharii Markets 1859 Sacks OF
Rice Which Brings Him S41.93
Per Acre.

Mr.. Eduard Scharff, we'll known
throughout this parish as land own
err and planter, sold the first threshing
of his crop last week to THE Frank
Ricketts, Jr. mill, of New Orleans.
While Mr.. Scharff's yield was not as
large as some others in this vicinity,
yet it was a fair average yield and
was sufficient to make the owner a
nice piece of money. He harvested
135 acres which yielded 1859 sacks,
weighed 247 ,220 pounds which equalled
1926 barrels or III barrels per acre.
This rice brought three dollars and
seventy cents per barrel or 81. 90 per
acre, the 1876 acres amounting to 49,
49,. 93. AS this is considerably less
than half the acreage of his crop, it
is reasonable to suppose that the
whole crop will bring in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Mr.. Scharff, who keeps an accurate
book account of his entire business
SAYS that it costs about $40 per acre
to make this crop which deducted
from S4l.93 leave 1888 per acre net

PARISH, LOUISIANA, OCTOBER 70, 1906.
ReaIeState On The Move.

Since the seasons crop has begun to
be marketed, realeState also is chang
ing hands more rapidly than hereto
fore. A short time ago A. 7. Jones
sold his fine rice plantation east of
town at a substantial advance over
what the same land brought last
Spring. Last week deal was closed
by which W. T. Hutcheson disposed
of his splendid plantation south of
town. w. b. Gahbert, of Roanoke,
being the purchaser. Mr. Hutcheson
bad concluded to sell his place only a
few days ago, but those few days suf-
feed for the hustling realestate firm
Of Robinson and Carr to find a buyer
at the neat figure of $45 per acre. Mr..
Gabbert, the purchaser OF the prop
ertv, is a well known rice planter of
Roanoke, where he has made one of
the best crops of the season. He owns
several farms about Roanoke, but
will move to the one just purchased
here in order to give his children the
benefit of the excellent schools OF
Welsh.
Mr.. Hutcheson, who desired to be
nearer his work at the mill has pur-
chased the cOmmOdiOus residence be-
longing to VIM. Fear just west of the
school house, and will occupy the
same in the course of few days.
1t is an encouraging feature that
the lands which are being sold in this
vicinity are being bought by parties
who live here and have made the pur-
chase price out of the soil and know
what they are buying. And although
land values are constantly increasing,
the increase is built on a solid foun-
datiOn. Men whose rice crop this
year has brought them forty, fifty or
sixty dollars per acre consider it a
safe proposition to pay S45 per acre
for more land equally as good. II
requires no Aight of the imagination,
nor wild cat speculation to see that
this same land will be worth 800 per
acre within the next few years. If
land in the middle west which gives
an average yield of $25 per acre is
worth 800 to $3.50 per acre why con-
slider it doubtful that land few de-
grees further south which yields double
that value should be worth 800 per
acre. This portion of the South pre-
sents golden opportunity for the in
vestment of capital or the expenditure
of labor, either of which is bound to
be bountifully rewarded within a very
short time.

I'lce without irrigation is the latest
thing in that cereal to be brought out,
says the Crowley Signal. Just what
effect its general introduction into the
rice belt would have cannot be told,
but if it fultllsits promise the chances
are that some at least of the present
systems of canals and deep water wells
VIII not be needed in the industry.
A sample of this variety of rice
which requires no water aside from
the natural rainfall is shown in the
Signal window. 1t is known as japan
highland rice and was grown in Texas
without irrigation. r. Onishi, of Web
ster' was in the city Thursday and
LETT the sample with the Signal. He
talked interestingly of this new feature
IN rice culture to Signal reporter.
This is Japan highland rice" said
Mr.. Onishi, who is one of the best
known japanese residents of the rice
belt, which grows without irrigation.
imported it from Japan last spring
and planted it at my brothers farm al
Webster, Texas. The seed was sown
May 10th, but owing to the extreme
drouth 1t did not sprout until the first
shower, June 28. The shoots did not
show up evenly July s, | pulled this
sample September 30 and it is almost
hit for the binder" The sample is
about five feet in heighth aud carries
good head. Thus, continued Mr.
OnlShl, lit has matured in s. DAYS af-
ter sprouting. In an ordinary season
1t would have matured in 90 DAYS from
the time it was sowed.
Tin the next field adjoining the one
where this was planted there is Hon.
duraS rice which sprOuted about the
same time and under exactly the same
weather conditions, but it is lust head
ing out and will require three weeks to
mature. This shows that the highland
rice natures fully three weeks ahead
OF the Honduras kind.
II sowed four sacks on Is acres, and
according to the present outlook |
will get 10 sacks per acre. This rice
may be safely expected to 60 20 sacks
to the acre on earlier sowing and in
ordinary years.
"Since the beginning of July we
have had four or five moderate show
ers at Webster and that was all the
moisture the rice has had during the
season. No irrigation is needed.
no levees are required and
at the same time no cultivation is nec-
essary. Thus the main feature of this
highland rice is its non irrigation re-
quirement. This saves about one
half the expenses in comparison with
other ric6s. The next is that it ma
lures earlier than Honduras which
means saving of labor for the farm
ers. The stalks grow about four and
one half feet from the root to the top
of the head, but they are very hardy
and strong and never fall down. 1t
spreads headwise so that it will kill
the weeds as we'll as assisting to re.
tain the moisture in the ground under
its shade.
"ItiS my intention to dispose of
about 200 sacks for seed on the bid
ding system either for part of it or all
of it. AS there are some applications
it might be advisable for
those rice farmers in this vicinity to
write at their earliest convenience. A
sample Of rice and straw will be sent
on application. Lake

EVERYBODY ADMIRED THE
OPERA HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS

The very delightful entertainment
given by the Joseph Newman company
Thursday night gave theatre-goers an
opportunity of witnessing for the first
time the changes that have been made
at the opera house within the last few
months. Although it was known in Il
general way that additional exits had
been made for the purpose Of affordinS
more rapid egress from the building
in case OF an emergency and that the
Interior had been redecorated, the full
extent of improvements was neither
understood nor appreciated by the
public.
To most of the people present on
Thursday night the alterations were a
revelation and that they were highly
gratifying goes without saying Many
expressions of satisfaction were heard
in relation to the change and Mr.. Begh-
tol, under whose supervision the i'm
provements were made, was compli-
mented on the excellent taste he had
shown in the decorations, which are
attractive without being elaborate.
