BAYOU NAVIGATION,

An encouraging result or the discus
sion concerning the improvement O
our waterways is found in the numbp,
OF steamboat enterprises being doomed
in different sections of the State. II
has been but a short while since the
New Orleans Board of Trade took ac.
ton insuring steamboat navigation
between this city and section known
rs "The Bends" above Nicksburg.
The business interests Of Monroe
have undertaken toaput in another
steamer in the Ouachita trade. and
Shreveport and Alexandria have be
gun the agitation of n resumption of
the navigation of the Rcd River be
tween Shreveport and New Orleans
Some time ago Senator Burton, of
Ohio, declared that the demands for
large appropriations for river i'm
provemcnt were Inconsistent with the
little use made Of the waterways in
those sections where they are navtga-
Bile. The shot went home and "a a r.
suit there has been increased activity
along the line of utilizing those
streams that are susceptible to nav
cation.
A day or SO ago the States printed an
interview with Capt. Will L. Jones. of
Franklin, La, who was IN the city in
connection with a movement in which
he is interested to re-establish steam
boat communication between New Or.
leans and the productive Techc coun-
try. The completion of the PLAQUE
mine locks has made accessible by a
short and cheap water route vast
and surprisingly rich territory, and
Captain Jones, who is an experienced
man, proposes to take ad
vantage OF the opportunity offered
Such an enterprise ought to appeal
powerfully to the business interests Of
New Orleans and those other sections
which will be traversed by the service
when it shall be inauguratcd.
There is not only vast tonnage al
ready assured to he hauled in that
most productive section, but the estab /
lishment of cheap water communica-
ton will also develop portion Of the
along the rontc which has re-
NAMED waste for lack OF means to
transport its produce to market. It il
4 great opportunity for New Orleans
10 get into new field, and at the same
line to get better service and rates
han heretofore obtainable in the
rcche country.
Captain Jones experience ald his
vide acquaintance with the people ofI
hat section and with the business
which nc proposes to go out after
make him especially well qualified to
arry successfully forward the work he
las undertaken and the commercial
interests of Ntw Orleans ought to sup
'ors him heartily.-N. O States.

chant to q certificate Of membership
signed by the secretary and also a tab
OF blank contracts which are to be
filled out when any advertising Is
agreed to between strange or irre-
sponsibIe solicitors and the merchant.
The secretary agrees TO see that the
solicitor is made responsible for all
he agrees to do and to personally see
that he does it. The contract reads
that no bill shall be paid until ap-
proved by the secretary, who Is a
merchant himself and a responsible
business man.
It is estimated that at least $15,+
600 a year is spent by the business
men of the two cities in scheme ad-
vertising-much of which would more
properly be called charity-but which
is at least one-half steal. That Is
only half Of all the promises made and
for which the merchant pays his good
money, are fulfilled. On an expen-
diture Of $3.50, minimum, $500 can
be saved. Or for 50, each merchant
can save $75. At the same time Far
go is taken out of the "green fleld'
and 'easy mark" class.
Mr.. Edwards secured ten members
the first day and thinks he will have no
trouble as the proposition becomes
known, as 1t has the endorsement OF

LIVED ON CABBAGE
And CORN FLAKES
SAD CASE OF DEsTITUTIoN
FOUND BY CHARITY AGENT
M'cRAcKEN - WOMAN WOULD
NOT ASK FOR cHARITY-RE-
LlEVED BY A FARGO CHURCH.

Agent o. E. McCracken Of the Fargo
associated charities discovered sad
case of destitution yesterday. 1t was
that of q woman and her children,
destitute and alone with nothing to
eat for several days but dry corn
flakes, without any milk, and raw cab
bage.
The woman was almost bedridden
and unable to work while the children
were all small. They did not have any
wood with which to cook the cabbage
and they had managed to subsist on
the two articles of diet mentioned for
nearly a week. The woman was either
too timid or too proud to ask for as
sistance and 1t was only by accident
that their real condition was discov-
cred.
one of the churches of the city had
volunteered to assist in a case of need
and this case was turned over to them.
The family was provided with a big
bill OF groceries and other necessities
and are now well cared for.
This is only one Of the many cases
that are continually cropping up said
Rev. McCracken this morning. I'VE
can use a lot OF the kind of assistance
volunteered by this church and any
church, fraternal organization or other
society or individual that wishes to
contribute to a worthy charity should
communicate with the Fargo charities"

RICH STRIKE IN
CALIFORNIA OIL
RALPH {. HEATH MEETS WITH
SUCCESS IN FAR WEsT-RE-
sUMEs OPERATIONS ON OIL
WELL WHICH PROVES TO BE
"FINp" OF THE SEASON.

That Ralph e. Heath. formerly of
Fargo, is meeting with success in the
west, is indicated in letter received
by City Atty. w. C. Resser. Mr..
Heath now holds the position OF vice
president and general manager OF the
Union OH Co., with large holdings In
California. The company Is now
operating near Whittier, Cal, which is
a short distance from Los Angeles.
Mr.. Heath ordered operations re-
sumed on an old well which had been
bored 1,700 feet and then abandoned.
An eight, and quarter inch pipe was
sunk and last week oil was struck.
The flow gushed up fifty feet over an
eighty -five-foot derrick, exceeding the
expectations of the promoters. The
stock Of the company jumped 80 points
and there is every indication that the
strike is one of the richest ever made
in California, all of which will be
pleasing news to the many friends of
Mr.. Heath in this city.

OF EoUIPPrNc FOUR NEW CON-
PANIEs rs PRoHIBITIVE.

II the rumor among national guard
officers OF Fargo is correct, no new
Dat1alion win be dded to the North
Dakota regiment which is now rated
SO high in military circles. AS a re-
suit OF the issuance Of statement Of
the cost to equip and maintain four
new companies, which was published
in The Forum several days ago, 1t
has been conceded by the most promi-
nent members of the organization, In
Guiding the commander -in-chief, that
the cost makes the move prohibitive,
and IL is believed that nothing more
will be heard of II.
The state and federal aid for the
military is based on the number Of
congressman, not the size of the
guard. At the present time North
Dakota is recognized as having one
OF the best regiments of militia in the
country. The equipment is excellent,
made possible by the fact that there
are funds at hand. 1t is desired among
the officials to maintain the present
high standard.
