LAND IN A QUEER STATE.

Quite an interesting question
i, occupying the attention o
several gentlemen whs do no.
wish to see valuable propert,

The matter was brought up be
fore the Board OF Education a,
its last meeting but the same
matter was gone over several
years ago and then no solution
could be found that would ana.
BILE anything to be done to ben
eft the schools through the &C
ton OF the United States in re
serving certain lands for the
schools. Whether any solution
will be found now is question,
but it is certain that the rights
OF the schools will be thorough
~ investigated and all doubts
one way or the other set at rest.
When these school lands were
set aside tor school purposes
they were not considered very
valuable. In fact at that time
similar lands were hard to dis
pose OF at sI.25 per acre. But
the real value OF the timber be-
came known and holders of the
cypress swamps got as high as
$4,000 to $4,000 tor Gao
acre tracts. There is not any
S1.25 land lett and has not been
for years bur the school lands
are still standing and in some
places there is the virgin timber
on them.
In other places the timber
has been stolen from the land
and it is feared now that unless
some way is found of disposing
OF the school sections that con-
tain good timber it also will be
stolen and the schools will get
netting.
At one time the timber on
the section in question was sold

TROLLEY liNN 70 BE BUILT
JCON.

News con Is from New Or
leans that mikes 1t appear that
before long bat construction OF
the trolley ie in this City will
be an actuaII y. The fact that
nothing had ,een heard recent
ly concernLag the matter led
some tebelieve that the project
was in a doubtful condition
Tt had been stated that work
would begin on Oct. Ist, and
when it did not there was much
disappointment. Now comes
news that again makes IT appear
that there is good prospect
that the Bayou 1eche Railway
and Light Co, will build the line
and have it we'll under way be
fore the winter is fairly upon
the City.
Mr.. II. N. Pharr who has
Just returned from a visit to
New Orleans, called upon the
officials of the Trolley Company
and stated yesterday that mat
tiers looked most promising, He
learned that while matters have
appeared TO be inactive here the
officials OF the Company had
been actively arranging to con
struct the road and according to
them when work does begin it
will be prosecuted vigorously.
1t has been known here that
the real cause TOR the delay has
been the state OF the financial
market, which affected this prop
ositlon as it did others that con-
cerned the construction OF roads
into and through thi. City.
Apparently all thi, has been
satisfactorily arranged now and
the officials of the company are
emphatic in stating that the
work will be begun and that
New Iberia will have its trolley
line at an early date.

1t is gratifying to note thai
one OF the Young men of the
City, A man who already has at.
tanned much success in his owr
affairs, has been persuaded by
his friends TO enter the race 70,
the State Legislature. In these
days 1t IS necessary to select tol
the legislative bodies the men
who are not afraid to work in
the interest OF their own locality
and who possesses the energy
and mentality to do that work
well.
Such a young man is Mr..

is a young man who is well
Known, not only IN this lmme-
diate neighborhood but all over

but he is related to large
number of The prominent cit
liens of the municipality, so
that 1t necessarily follows that
he has their interests at heart.
He is graduate of the City's
public schools and there

the necessity tor better laws in
many directions, laws that affect
