A BIG BOOST
FOR LOUISIANA
Congressman Acheson Of Penn
sylvania Has Good Words
for Our State.

sylyania, who was a member OF
the congressional party that re-
Gently visited Louisiana, has given
an interview to the Washington,
Pa, Observer, in which he speaks
most optimistically of Louisiana.
Mr.. Acheson points out that
the IowIands of Louisiana viii,
eventually be reclaimed and made
to "blos>om as the rose. He
states also that Louisiana could
be made to sustain a population
equal to that of Holland which
has 500 people 10 the<quare mile.
Regarding Louisiana generally
the congressman says:
Louisiana has q matchless
system of waterways. Its rivers
and bayous, which are navigable,
have a length of over 5000 miles
and reach all save three of its So
parishes which correspond to our
counties. By the cutting Of canals
which can be done at small cost
on account of the alluvial soil, q
vast net work of interlacing
waterways can be created. The
rivers and bayous are quite deep,
so to 100 feet in depth being COM
mon. The soil is of wonderful
fertility. The whole state is al
luvial and made of the richest
portions of the twenty-seven
states washed by the Mississippi
and its branches. All the low
land will eventually be reclaimed
and will blossom as the rose. The
state could sustain q population
equal to that of Holland which
has over 500 to the square mile.
"Western Pennsylvania should
have a deep interest in Louisiana
for its development will open .
wide field for our coal, iron, steel,
pottery. glass and other products.
With q nine foot stage in the
Ohio river these products can be
conveyed to Louisiana at one
eighth of the present freight
charge by rail. On the other
hand, their sugar, molasses, rice,
salt and lumber can be brought
up the river at less than one-third
the cost of shipment by rail. +"

from the dreadful disease, rheu-!
matisn, for q number of years.
/ have tried many medicines but
never got much relief from any
of them until two years ago,
when I bought q bottle of Cham

relief before I had used all of one

and soon felt like q different
woman. Through my advice
many of my friends have tried it,
and can tell you how wonderfully
it has worked.-Mrs. Sarah a..
