Several applications for the position
of court stenographer have been filed
with the new judge but no appoint
ment mas been announced as yet.
Judge Webster and Judge Myers
held little conference Monday even
ing and agreed upon the following
division of the work: Judge Webster
will maintain chambers in Missoula
court there and Judge Myers will
maintain cham bers in Hamilton and
hold court in Ravalli and Sanders
counties. Meanwhile, owing to the
fact that Judge Myers is disqualified
to sit in many cases here, by reason of
his past connection with the same as
attorney, Judge Webster will preside
in all such cases, the agreement being
that next week Judge Webster will
preside at the trial of the criminal
cases and Judge Myers at the trial of
all civil cases in which he had not been
retained as counsel prior to his ap-
pointment.

MisCegenatiOn.

The time would seem to be ripe
for the passage Of drastic laws TO
prevent the increasing crime of mis-
cegenation OF the races. This is q
crime that began before the war and
has increased in enormity ever since.
1t is time that the decent white
people snd the respectable negroes
join hands in wiping out this moral
cancer that is eating into the life
core OF society not only in Louisiana
but other Southern States No one
can find the least fault with the en-
actment of laws to prevent this
crime Of crimes save those who
would be effected, and they would
not have the hardwood to offer
fight In the open, although they
would probably do as they have
done before, use some trickery to
prevent the enactment of laws that
tend to preserve the home.
When this law that should have
gone through the legislature with the
one to prevent marriages between
the races is passed and enforced
there will not be SO many idle and
vicious negroes hanging around the
saloons all day and all night, with
no visible means of support. Far.
mers, railroads, mechanics and all
other employees can get labor al
some price. There will not be SC
many idle negro women in Louisi.
ana towns whites will be able tc
have washing done.

More About BOgaluSa.

IA little over a year ago they
hunted deer where Bogalusa stands.
Eleven months ago the first woman
appeared in the town. Today we
have o population Of 1900 and the
most pushing community in the
south,'' declared Secretary Fl. G..
Vaught, who is in the city today.
MIR. vaught came here to see the
State Board of Immigration in con-
nection with the coming arrival Of
the Austro- American line steamer
that sailed from Trlest for New Or
leans with immigrants.
1--WE should like to get 500 OF
them at least. We shall hereafter
meet all immigrant steamers arriv-
ing here, our demand for labor is in-
satiable.
1--WE can give 500 men employ
ment at once, and we shall be pre-
pared to offer homes already con-
structed to $50 families by the time
the Austro-American steamer ar
rives. We are paying $3.50 for
common labor. Skilled mechanics
earn higher wages.
''Bogalusa was born April year
ago. The Great Northern Railfoa
and the Great Southern Lumber
Company have spent 100000
there and the enormous develop
ment is now in progress. Only q
few days ago we let . contract for
$500, 900 for water and sewerage
We are to have the largest lumber
mill 10 the world and the finest, the
largest fertilizer works and the
largest turpentine plant. The city
is really growing like magic.
SIT Is no. a one man town. We
are seeking all kinds of industries
and are ready to offer free sites and
other Inducements to various manu-,
features.

When the water works were put
In and in successful operation, and
with a good fire company and
plenty of hose, we naturally sup
posed that insurance rates would
be reduced; but they are now
higher than ever Before, even when
the houses were frame instead of
brick, as now. There seems to
be no incentive to have waterWorks

ance rates are concerned. Ham

Vaudeville to be Big
J. Resort.

An association headed by Mr.. +.
A. Leonval, retired capitalist, is
making plans TO spend million dol
lars or more in constructing big
hotel and identifying the lake front
at Vaudeville.
It is understood that the plans
now in the hands of the gentlemen
promoting the scheme call for the
erection of number of residences
and a hotel directly on the lake
front, where bathing piers and pa
yilions can be built in keeping with
the proposed improvements OF the
town.
The streets will be improved and
practically every house now in the
town will be raised from three to
five feet above the water level. In
front of and on each side, will be
constructed sort Of sea wall, on
top OF which will be room for n
promenade.
It is asserted by persons proml-
nent in the association that the New
Orleans Great Northern Railroad
will ,naugurate a new Vaudeville
schedule in November that will
place this resort nearer to New Or
leans than any other of the lake
towns, and that through trains will
be run in connection with the ser
vice now being operated at Coving-
ton and Abita Springs.
Besides the train service it is
claimed that local parties have
agreed to establish q line OF steam
ers from West End to Vaudeville
that will enable patrons to 60 over
every morning and come back in
the evening, and another line in the
afternoon and return early enough
the next morning for business men
to assume their duties at their office.
1t is the intention OF the promo
tiers of New Vaudeville to bring it
up to a popular resort for both
winter and summer and plans for
it's Improvement will be launched
in time 10 have it fully completed
in several years.

WEATHER is GOOD FOR CROPS
Government Report Shows Favorable
Conditions Throughout Country.

Washington, D. C.-The summary
by the Weather Bureau says:
"The temperature during the week
ended June IT was highly favorable
in the States of the Missouri Valley
and was generally favorable in the
Southern States, but in the Atlantic
Coast districts northward Of Georgia
and in the lower lake region and
upper Ohio Valley the temperature
was much too low for favorable re-
suits. There was, however, a decided
rise in the temperature in these dis
tricts at the close of the week. The
plateau regions and most of the Pa
ciic Coast States experienced a week
Of very low temperature.
"Frosts occurred in exposed loca-
tons in the lower lake regions and
northern part of the Middle Atlantic
States on June II and Is. Frosts
and snow also occurred in the middle
and northern Rocky Mountain re-
gions.
Portions of the Ohio Valley and
South Atlantic and East Gulf States
suffered from local storms and heavy
rainfall. The principal agricultural
districts have ample moisture. Gen
orally throughout the central valleys
and Southern States and in the lower
lake region and In New England there
was abundant sunshine, but in the
Middle and South Atlantic States and
in the middle and northern Rocky
Mountain districts and on the Pacific
Coast there was less than the aver
age"
