 A travelling saleman had quite an experience on one of the trap doors in the sidewalk on South Main street yesterday afternoon. He was stand ing on the iron door striking a match to light cigarette with when some- body in the basement pushed the door open. The thing was done so suddenly that the drummer didn't know what was up and acted as if he thought the world was turning upside down. The man on the in- side noticed that the door worked harder than usual, but attributed it to rusty hinges and pushed with all his might. Finally the drummer keeled over and hit his shin against the edge of the door. He was hurt but his injuries are not serious. He declared that he will sue. but he may forget all about it when he thinks it over.

The Crops.

From information gathered
from citizens from various parts
of the parish, the prospects indi-
cate only a half crop of cotton
from the parish as a whole and
not over three.quarters of corn.
Where the land is high the de-
crease in cotton will not average
over 25 per cent, but in the low
sections the damage from the
torrential rains will reach as
much as Is per cent, and in some
cases the cotton already planted
has been entirely destroyed.
Corn has Jared considerably bet
ter than cotton.
With favorable weather it is
said that there is chance to
make at least 80 per cent cot
ton crop, and fair corn crop, as
it is said that corn planted even
as late as June often natures
well.
The rains have been genera
throughout the cotton belt and
the prospects are excellent thai
the price of cotton will be high
enough to, in a measure, offse'
the short yield.

EXTENSION OF
K. C. SOUTHERN.
N. o. Item.

N. O. Item.
It is officially announced that
the route of the New Orleans ex-
tension of the Kansas City
Southern will start at Leesville
and run on a direct line to Ober-
lin on the Watkins and Gulf.
From Oberlin the road will
build into Crowley, then parallel
the Southern Pacific to New
Iberia, when it will turn north
and enter New Orleans over its
own tracks, which will be con-
structed between the Texas and
Pacific and the MOrgan's Louis
lana and Texas lines.
This will open an entirely new
country and touch some small
towns now without railroad con
nectiOn.
The announcement comes from
a high official of the Kansas City
Southern, and is the first authen-
tic information ever given out
relative to the proposed route.
Several prominent local rail
road men here have for some
time believed that the Kanass
City Southern would enter New
Orleans over the Frisco, via
Baton Rouge. Others have in
timated that there was possible
chance of the line using the
tracks of the Southern Pacific
from point near Crowley, but the
announcement that it will come
in over its own tracks will nj
doubt be read with a great dea
of interest.
The surveying gang, it is
learned. has fully completed its
work and actual construction i.
to begin some time this fall.
