WrangIe over Model Roads.

Caddo and DeSoto Parishes are in
wrangle regarding the route of the
model road to be constructed be-
tween Mansfield and Shreveport by
State convicts, committee from De
Soto reported that work is in pro-
gress between Mansfield and the
Caddo line, but that De Soto will
not connect with the load south
from Shreveport unless the latter is
built by Stonewall, as three-fourths
of the DeSoto people favor the Stone
wall route, which is the straight
route to Shreveport from Mansfield,
and object to the route by Keachie.
A committee for the Caddo jury re-
commended the route by Keachie,
though it is longer, explaining that
it would cost several times as much
money to go through the bottom
lands near Stonewall. The Keachie
route was accepted, which leaves the
matter apparently in tangle.

One-Fifth Decrease i'm Rice Yield.

The general impression at Pointe-

will be something like a 20 per
cent decrease in the yield of Hon.
duras rice this year as compared with
that of last year. While the yield at
the present time is merely a mat
ter of surprise, it will not be more
than a few weeks before threshing

tinues favorable, when a more ac-
curate estimate can be obtained.

Value of Birds. Youth loses

Under instructions from the dis
trict attorney warrant was issued
by the First Justice Court of the
parish of Acadia for the arrest of B.
Nj. Corona, manager of the Lafayette
Compress Company of Lafayette, La,
and of the combined Lehman and
Stern interests in this section, charg-
ing him with violation of Act No.
80 1892, in making an illegal COM
bination in restraint of trade.
The two local ginners alleged that
they were asked % join an agree
ment to fix the price of cotton in the
seed this season, but refused to do
so.
A buyer of the Lafayette gin then
offered $42.50 per thousand pounds
for all seed cotton. This was SIG
per thousand more than the same
firm was paying elsewhere for the
same product.
The district attorney promises If
the evidence warrants it to have
everyone in any way connected with
it indicted and tried. This would
involve some who are very promin-
ent in business affairs.
The farmers. although they are
profiting by the high price now paid
for cotton, are the most aroused of
any interested. One hears all sorts
of indignant talk from them, espec-
tally from those who have driven
from fifteen to twenty miles to sell
their cotton to the same parties who
at home are paying them $40 per
thousand less for it.

That self interest and public SER

received from one party complaining
of timber thieves stealing timber
off the state land. The writer urged
the land Office to have this stopped,
because he said that the thieves
were cutting down the oak trees. and
were in this way destroying all the
acorns which his hogs had been eat
ing and living on in the past. While
the department has no special desire
to provide free acorns for hog rails
ers," an effort will be promptly made
to have the timber thieves indicted
and convicted If possible.

Gates important Disclosure
Has Been Made.

When Manager Frank B. Cook was
down at the Phoebe, Metals company s
property the other day the DRIFT from
the bottom of the 100-foot shaft that was
sent out to the south and then turned
little to reach the dyke that was shown
to traverse the ground southerly from the
shaft, had reached the objective point,
the dyke had been cut and drifting east
on one side of it and west on the other
was under way. raise had also been
started at point near the intersection,
all with a purpose of determining the
source of ore that made in fissure near
the surface. No ore had been opened up
In these workings when Mr. Cook left
dent not to bother him with dispatches
concerning development unless something
out of the ordinary occurred.
Yesterday morning he received dis
patch telling him that ore had been en-
countered in the raise sixteen feet above
the drift. No details were given, but, as
the superintendent had been enJO1ne1
from wiring up ordinary information, the
dispatch is believed to have been sent
because conditions justified 1T.
As has been stated in this department
before, the Phoebe Metals company 9
management is prospecting the ground
from the 100-foot level with the purpose
of determining, as closely as may be,
the true source of the rich ore that has
been opened up in shallow workings on
the ground, so that the permanent operat-
ing shaft can be favOrably located. II
the ore just encountered is making toward
the fissure mentioned above it will be
taken as good indication OF what may
be expected below near the junction of
the nssure with the dyke But the whole
thing is being cautiously worked out and,
when the company gets ready for the real
doings. it will not be long till the mine
is made 1t is already known to exist
for much splendid ore has been struck in
