made on body of inoffensive
Bulgarians who had recently been
brought from Bogaloosa, La. to
Chathamville in Jackson parish,
by the fremont Lumber Co., to
work in one of their many logging

The owners of these lands have

secure desirable class of white
labor who understand agriculture
and settle them on these lands.

Ever since its destruction by All
earthquake San Francisco seems
to have been in the grasp of all
kinds of hooters. The latest de-
velopment is the footing of the
California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company by the president. David
F. Walker, and directors Brown
and BARNETT. They transferred
the funds of the depositors to
stockholders and themselves and
mythical companies. subjecting
them to the charge of felony
embezzlement. These men should

French Race Suicide.

Pafis.-A decreased birth rate in
France in 1906, the lowest in fact,
that her history records, is shown by
statistics just published by the Oficial
Journal of the republic. Recent years
have been marked by steady decline
in the number of births. The average
yearly rate from 1896 to 1905 was
$780, .843. In 1906, the births fell to
806, ,847. The deaths during the year
aggregated 7s0,196. DR.. Jacques Ber-
tillon. chief statistician Of Paris, takes
a pessimistic view of these figures.
He points out that whereas all Of

population, Frances population is at
st2ndstill. Soon. he thinks, the tide
