A RAPIDLY GROWING SCHOOL IN
THE S. w. METROPOLIS,
q. LAKE CHARLES, Ia.

The Advertiser desires to call the at
tention of young people, and parents to
the special reduced rates being offered
by Walden's Business College of Lake
Charles, La. See announcement else
where in this paper.
This College occupies it's own build
ing and is elegantly equipped with the
most modern business college furni-
ture. In its boarding department, it
offers its students the convenience of a
tirst-class hotel-''The Walden" at
greatly reduced rates.
One of the strong points claimed by
Prof, L. r. Walden, the proprietor,
is that with a moderate attendance
and experienced teachers, he is able
to devote his nineteen years expert
ence to personl instruction and super
vision over each pupil, thus securing
his, or her, rapid advancement. This
is a very Important point that should
be considered by young men and wo-
men in selecting a school.
Prof. Walden claims that he can
and does save to the pupil from $50 to
800 on a complete course. That his
students are thoroughly trained and
are meeting with success in securing
and holding positions, is evidenced
by the splendid endorsements from
students, bankers, congressman and
leading business men, from Lake
Charles, Louisiana and other South
ern States.
With such a we'll equipped business
college in u own State: and one
that is 81 highly endorsed. it hardly
seems necessary for any young man,
or young women to go abroad to get
a business, shorthand or a pra ctica
English education.

nounced here today that Andrew Carnegie
had given $4,000 for the construction of a
building to be used by the bureau of Amer
lean republics. Provision for the site has
already been made by the United States
and South American republics.
Mr.. Carnegie was today in conference
with Secretary Root, who is chairman Of
the board of governments of the bureau.
Secretary Root informally thanked him for
his gift and indicated that he wotld at once
send a formal letter of acceptance. Pres
ident Roosevelt has already written Mr..
Carnegie expressing his appreciation and
acceptance. Congress several years ago
appropriated 10000 as the share of the
United States toward the site and
building for the bureau and between $4,000
and $50 600 has already been contributed be-
tween the South and Central American
countries.

ILLEGAL FENCES MUST FALL
Land Omcers Notified by President
that Law VIII BE strictly
EufOrCed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-By direction of
the president, Secretary Hitchcock today
issued an order to Commissioner Richards
of the general land office at once to notify
all special agents and receivers and regis
ters OF local land offices that the act of
February 25 1883, for the summary de-
struction of illegal enclosures and obstruc"
tions existing on public lands will be rigidly
enforced after April /, 1907.
This order means that all fences en-
closing public lands in violation of law
must be removed before April l. If they
are not taken down by that time they will
be torn down by representatives of the
government.
Secretary Hitchcock's order has the ap-
prevail Of President Roosevelt. Strong
pressure has been brought to permit the
fences to remain on public lands, even in
the face of complaints.
President Suggests Legislation.
After the president and Secretary Hitch
cock had conferred regarding the order, the
former sent letter to Mr.. Hitchcock in
which he said:
In response to your letter and in carrying
out what after our conversation together
seems to be the best course i approve the
circular you intend to issue, with the mod
ificatiOn of having 1t apply to all cases and
OF erect peTeHlptOTliy April next.
I trust that the senators and representa-
tves from the great grazing states will
realize that this means that II, as / be-
lieve there should be, there is to be a
modification of the law by which II would
be possible to allow by lease the temporary
enclosure of portions of the public domain
for grazing purposes on such conditions as
the government finds compatible with the
best interests OF the actual settlers of the
small homesteaders, the home makers
then that this change of the law must be
made at this session. Year in and year
out you and / have been besought by men
interested in stock growing to permit the
| fences to stay up for another six months
or another year on the ground of the great
damage certain to be done by taking them
down. Many Of the men making these re-
quests are entirely honest men, whose re-
| quests il would be in the interest of the
community to grant were it legally possible
| to do so (though this, of course, does not
| apply to some of those making the re.
| quests), but IL is quite impossible perma-
/ nently to permit such an arrangement
| There must be some adequate provision OF
| law, II there is to be any satisfactory So
! luton of this problem, and in default OF
| this provision, the present faulty law must
| be enforced. You are perfectly at liberty
| TO show this letter to any and all senators
whose constituents are chiefly concerned
In this matter.

Rohber. visit Grocery store.

Burglars visited two grocery stores on
South Main street but only succeeded in Sc
curing an entrance TO one being frightened
away from the other while in the act Of
forcing a window.
At the grocery store of Julius Jensen, 9l7
South Main street, the burglars effected
an entrance by breaking rear window.
Here they secured about 81 in small change
and about 400 pennies which were in the till.
The thieves also carried away a goodly
supply Of cigars but did not touch anything
in the store.
At the Bee Hive grocery, also on South
Main street, which was broken into and
robbed Monday night, the burglars were
frightened away after they had broken the
glass out of a rear window. The noise OF
the breaking glass aroused one Of the oc-
cupants of the rooms overhead and he
raised his window and looked out and was
in time to see two men running down the
alley. He at once notified the police but
by the time an officer reached the scene
the thieves had made their escape. Rosen-
cranz & Kahn, the rroprietors of the Bee
Hive grocery, stated that there was con-
siderable money in the store and possibly
this fact was known to the thieves who
