New Railways In
Louisiana.

Louisiana ranks second among
the States of the Union in the new,
railroad lDilage iaid in 1906; and,
taking the last three years, it still
holds second place. This is the
more surprising because the
State is not newly opened one,
with sparse population, as is the
case with South Dakota, which
ranks next to it in new traGksge.
Louisiana lie an old and we'll settled

proof of the business and CONNER.
cial development under way than
is to be found in the heavy work of
railroad construction. The addi-
tional mlIcageis being built because
tue commercial needs of Louisiana
require it.
To those who knew the railroad
geography of Louisiana Of a few
years ago, list Of the lines under
construction to-day is almost in
comprehensive, go many are the
new roads being built into the State.
Those adding to the mileage IN 1906
number no less than twenty. The
New Orleans Great Northern leads
in milage, as was expected. The
Louisiana Railway and Navigation
Company, the old New Orleans and
Red River Valley, is second in
the completion Of Its line to New
Orleans. Then follow the Colorado
and Southern, the Jasper and
Eastern, the Arkansas Southern,
the Kansas City Southern, the Lou
isiana and Arkansas, the Louisiana
East and West, the Opelousas

dozen others. The new mileage
constitutes only q fraction of what
it is proposed to build, and this as

this royal crop, imperial in magni-

worlds growing needs, and its
ability to develop cotton mauufac-

tied only by it's labor supply. Eco

about a great increase in popula-

demand may justify. The South
produces 80 per cent of the cotton

Box Rent Rates.

Heretofore rates governing the
rental of postofiice boxes were fixed
upon no established basis, with the
result that at certain large postof.
fees rates we're lower than at many
small offices; the charge for small
boxes was in many cases higher
than that which should have been
made for large boxes; rent was
sometimes collected at the same
rate for boxes of all sizes; and at
postofices of like class IN the same
vicinity, equipped with similar
boxes, rents were collected at
widely different rates. In order to
remedy these conditions and pro-
vide a definite and satisfactory
rule for the collection of box rents,
schedule based upon the kind and
capacity of boxes and gross re-
celpts at various postofies was
placed In effect January /, 1907,
and will be strictly adhered to
hereafter. The schedule fixes the
rates for boxes at the local post
Office, where the annual gross re.
ceipts are more than $4,000 and less
than $40, 700, as follows: Small
call boxes, per quarter, 25 cents;
small lock drawers, As cents; large
lock drawers, Is cents.
In this connection the follow
ing information regarding the
manner of collecting box rents will
prove of general interest: "Box
rents must be collected at the be-
ginning of each quarter for the enc
tire quarter, but no longer. Zen
days before the last day of each
quarter postmasters are required to
place a bill bearing the date of the
last day of the quarter in each
rented box. If a holder fails to
renew his right to the box on or
before the last day Of the quarter
the box shall then be closed and
offered for rent, and the mall
will be placed IN the general deliv-
cry"

Accidental Drowning.
:. Sixth Ward, St. Tammany Parish,

r,,.o NeaF Pearl klver, La, January 10, 1907.
Editor St. Iammany FARMER
Lear STA sad accident has oc-
Cured In the east end of this ward,
that never before has 1t been SO upset.
1t seems that Maurice Crawford, aged
u, white. was q sufferer from epileptic
fits. He went to visit his brother Ed
wards, camp at head Of Big Broad Axe
River, on New Years Day. While
there, he was seized with fit, and re-
covering started home about noot.Gefl-
ing his brother the route he would take
through the swamp. That evening his
brother returned home, and not finding
Maurice gave the alarm Search was
installed at once with torches and lam
terms, ana carried on far into the night,
without result. At daybreak the next
day 1t was resumed. All the industries
shut down, and every man in the settle
| ment, as we'll as some from Honey
Island and Bayou Lacombe, assisted In
the Search.
Dynamite was procured and used In
the river, sloughs and deep holes In the
swamp. Drags were made and used in
the waters. Boats searched the rivers,
and lines Of men swept the swamps,
hammockS, and even the piney woods, u
in their fruitless search for the miss.
ing man. No rumor was advanced but
that someone was Immediately in the
saddle, on his way to investigate.
The search was continued day and
night for two days, and on Sunday
evening the well nigh exhausted search
ers decided to return to their homes,
| One incident, however, kept spurrins
some ON in their search.
When Maurice left home he was &C.
companied by a half-breed collie dog
and half hour after he left his broth
er's camp the dog returned to the CAM
alone, and all the while the search VA
going on it would repeatedly return t.
the river and scent over the water, a.
though seeking its-lost master.
On this basis, the search was con
tinued day and night on the river, ant
ON Tuesday morning, January s, 1907
two OF the searcherS, Messrs. j, d. ant
George Oberry, were rewarded by find
ing the missing man floating in tn
river a short distance below where thu
dog returned to the water. The finding
OF the body was a great relief to hi
LACED and heartbroken parents.
Upon authority from the Coroner
Justice of the Peace Mr.. John Hage
selected jury, who decided that Mau
rice Crawford came to his death fron

His remains were laid to rest a

1.-THE idea that the man who goes
on railway journey takes his life
in his own hand and is rather
more likely than not to meet an un-
timely death at the first curve the

out by the fact that the chances
against any one passenger meeting
his death OF the railwayare 36,00O,-
