General Manager N. G.. Pearsall, of
the New Orleans Great Northern said
Yesterday that statments which have
been made recently regarding the
resumption of construction work on
the Company's lines in Louisiana and
Mississippi are erroneous.
1--WE have not yet been able to re-
sumo construction. " said Mr.. Pearsall,
land I cannot tell when we will be
able to do so. Mr. Sullivan has an
nounced that the Great Southern
Lumber Company's mill will begin
operating Sep. 1, and by that time we
hope to see nearly all Of the twenty
mills located on our lines in full blast,
At the present time the majority,
probably 80 per cent, are still shut
down. The resumption of activity in
this direction will mean a great deal
to us. "-Picayune.

Now that the hunting season is
about to begin. State Auditor Paul
Capdevielle is sending out to the Tax
Collectors of the different parishes
letters calling their attention to the
fact that under the new law all hunt
ers in Louisiana, no matter wheather
they go out for only one hunt a year,
are required 10 get hunting license,
which is 81 for all residents of Louisi-
ana, and $25 for non-residents. The
feature of the new law is 81 license for
resident sportsmen. This law is
going to mean a large revenue to
Louisiana.
fla person is found hunting with out
this license he is subject to fine OF
not less than $40 nor more than $1OO.
The license must be carried by the
hunter on his person.

| NORNAY'S ANTI
TRAMP LAWS
Hard to Shirk Duty of
Support.

KRISITIANA, NORWAY, Feb. %
(SpeciaD Norway has passed a spe-
cial act which enables the authori-
ties to deal in wholesome way with
able-bodied loafers, beggars, tramps,
aliens and drunkards who shirk their
financial duty to their dependents.
An able-bodied man who will not
work can now be warned by the po-
lice against his manner of life and
told where he is to apply for en-
p1oyment Thus direct official action
is taken against idling and idlers. He
is to be prevented coming on the
community for support, or so acting
that his family becomes a charge on
the poor law.
This, of course, involves the pro-
viding of work, task beset with diff
ficulties, but probably easier in that
country than in England, as they have
immense tracts of available land
which could be brought into cultiva-
tion, and this it is affirmed would
conduce to the prosperity of the
country
That the country means business
can be further inferred from sug-
gested method of preventing escape
through the possibility of work be-
ing irregular and intermittent A
person may be ordered by the police
to go to the labor bureau, but not
do so; and on the \ther hand, there
may not be any work. Both these
contingencies are realized, applicant
a card which will be eyidence-of ODE
dience and also state when the next
visit must be paid.
The provision with regard to
tramps is most stringent. A person
found roaming about and endanger=
ing the safety of others is liable to
detention in the same establishment
for three and up o six years. The
course is clear and effective
