LANDS in Estate
OF LOUISIANA
Registrar Of the Land Offices Report shows
that There AFs Nearly 10000 Acres.
Land NFORTY-FIVEP PARISHES
81. Landry Parish has 6S9 Acres Of Public
Land Subject to Entry. The Registrar VIII
Furnish All Desired Information.

New Orleans, Aug, 2.-WaIter Co.
hen, the registrar Of the local United
States Land Office, yesterday sent
bis annual report to Washington.
The report shows that there are at
least 1926 acres Of land in this
state which are vacant and subject to
homestead entry. He says that those
desiring to settle upon and acquire
this land may do so, and they can
get all the needed information by
simply writing to him.
The registrar says that there are
now two land offices in this states, and
as the public lands are growing less
every year, it is probable that the
government will some time in the
near future close up one of the Of
fees and turn the business over to
the remaining one. Mr.. Cohen said
that during the last year there had
been a great many entries made on
Louisiana Land, as people have come
to appreciate the vast opportunities
before them for acquiring valuable
land at nc cost, and the amount has
been considerably reduced during
the past year. He says that he does
not known which Of the two Offices the
government will keep in operation
the one here or the one at Natchi-
toches. However, he said that the
local Office is already 4 consolidated
Office as the work Of the Monroe,
Opelousas and Greensburg Offices
was turned over to it when those
officers we're closed, and be intimat-
ed that possibly the government
might also turn over the work Of the
Natchioches Office to the local one as
most of the business is done By cor
respondence, and New Orleans is
far the best mail facilities. How
ever, he could not say definitely that
either one would be closed, or If one
were closed, when that would be.
The following report shows the To-
cation and amount of land in each
locality which has not been claimed
by homesteaders and which may be
entered:

Rush for Land in Oklahoma Twenty
Years Ago and what 1T


1t is not strange that Oklahoma has
grown with a rush, for so 1t was created.
Scattered here and there on its farms.
behind the counters OF its stores, in the
offices Of it's banks, is many a mar whose
eyes CLINT as he tells Of that April day
in 1883 when the prize was to the swift
est, the day when so, 900 human beings
were massed on the frontier awaiting the
gunshot which was to start them like so
many hounds in their race for the land.
Some had put their last dollar into the
f~leetest horse they could buy, well know
ing the value of getting there first. But
there were the hack, the pony, even the
humble mule, each with it's eager rider.
Boomers who had been living in their
canvas wagons for months on the edge
Of the promised land grasped the reins,
ready at the signal to bring into 1t their
entire outfit, from the tea kettle to the
last baby. And down in the draws" and
gulches, concealed amid the timber, were
hundreds of others who had stolen over
the border by night and had skulked under
cover like animals in their effort to elude
the vigilant soldiery.
Before the smoke of the gunshot cleared
away, the leaders in the "Oklahoma run"
as it is known to this day, had disap-
peared from sight. Struggling out over
mile after mile Of prairie and valley, the
multitude of homeseekers followed, gradu-
ally spreading over more and more area
as each Individual or family sought some
particular goal. They knew the choicer
sites, where pure water was abundant,
the soil more fertile and the woodland
afforded shade and fuel. AS fast as

GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Government Report on Wheat Has
Bearish Effect on Traders.
THIRD LARGEST DROP RECORDED
Present Prices Are Maintained only
Because of strong Desire of
MiIIeru TO stock uD for
Spring.
OMAHA. Oct. 9. 1909.

OMAHA, oct. 9, 1909.
The government report on wheat was
snoWe the crop to be the third largest on
record, being exceeded only In 1905 and 1901.
Present prices are maintained only because
OF the strong desire of millers to lay In
stocks for the coming spring, and cash
wheat Is held well over the options.
Corn traders continued their report as
builish. but on the whole there is fully as
much corn in the surplus states when the
old corn Is considered. The fall feed Is
better and less live stock is being fed.
Traders in wheat we're more beartsh today
and sold the market down Cash wheat
showed a weaker tone, with the demand
slower, except fol small lots, which brought
fairly, good prices, but no large sales were
recorded.
Corn values eased off a trIfle with wheat
and frBer offerings. Buyers late yester-
day turned sellers and this was more gem
eral with the little support from the bull
side.
Primary wheat receipts were 1855 900 bu.
and shipments were s43, 900 bu., against re-
ceipts last year Of l,670,000 bu. and ship
ments of SOS, 900 blu.

A WESTERN RIVER CENTENAF
Steamboat Function Due I'm the MI
sissippi valley Two Years
H@nna

New York has Just celebrated the third
century of the discovery Of the Hudson
river and the first century OF the advent of
steam upon that stream. The Mississippi
valley will soon have an opportunity to
have a river centennial. In 1911 a steam.
boat built by Fulton, Livingston and Nicho-
las ]. Roosevelt, the grandunole Of the
twenty-fifth president OF the United States,
was launched at P%ittsburg and went down
the Ohio and the Mississippi to New Or
leans. II was named after that city and
entered the traffic between that point and
Natchez.
The New Orleans was the first steamboat
which appeared west OF the Alleghenies.
The centenary OF It's advent will come two
years hence. All the big towns in the
Mississippi watershed ought to have some
sort Of observances at that time to com
memorate this event. st. Louis and New
Orleans, as the largest towns on the big
river, must nave some exercises which will
be appropriate to the occasion. The place
which 1907 occupies in the navigation annals
of the eastern states and OF the world Is
filled by 1911 for the people who reside on
western waters.
It was 1871 when the first ap-
peared at st. Louis, 1919 was here when the
Missouri was entered by the new motive

boat reached Fort Smelling. in TIT. present
Minnesota, near the head of NAVIGATION on
the Mississippi. Nevertheless, 1911 Mil be a
date-mark which ought to secure ~recogni-
ton from all the important towns on the
Mississippi and Its principal tributaries.
The primitive craft which steamed down
the Ohio and the Mississippi in 1911 was the
advance courier OF the new order. II soon
put the flatboat out OF business, made
transit through the vests magnificent dis
tances easier than II had been previously,
and gave a spur to immigration TO the
Mississippi valley from the Atlantic sea-
board and Europe which had large social
and political consequences for the country.
The deep waterway champions will, in 1911,
be able to utilize, in a decidedly practical
way, the story of the career of the pioneer
steamboat west Of the Alleghenles. st.

material break, whatever, and while IN
some cases, values appeared 10 be a shade
easier than at the opening, the bulk OF
receipts changed hands at quotably steady

The general market has acted very
credltably under the big runs OF the past
few days. No decline OF consequence Is
noticeable, save perhaps on fat lambs. the
medium and fair grades being almost 26c
lower than last Saturday. Really choice
lambs would probably not sell over IoQl5c
lower. obviously, the demand for both
killers and feeders has been very broad,
the big end OF each days run being sold
