The Lake Charles American. says it is
estimated that the people of Cameron
Parish have received this winter at least
$4,000 for the pelts Of muskrats. There
are countless millions Of muskrats in
Cameron, the marshes being full Of musk
rat nests, and they are easily caught. For
unnumbered miles they can be found forty
or fifty feet apart. The killing Of the little
rodents involves no trouble or expenditure
for ammunition. The hunter, armed with
a club, carefully stops up all the holes into
the nest but one and then watches that
hole. When the muskrat pokes his head
out he gets whack over the head that puts
him out. AS each nest contains ten or
fifteen muskrats and the nests are close
together, it is not long before the hunter
has good catch to his credit. A man or
a boy can go out in the marsh and earn

the marshes few weeks ago and came
back with $500 worth of pelts. The pelts
are worth from ten to fifteen cents apiece.

THE STATE PRESS.

Thibodaux Commercial-Jo Let
the Constitution alone, it needs no more
amendments.
Winnsboro Reporter: No one will raise
objections to being taxed for legitimate
purpose to meet necessary expenses. The
policy seems to be to tax everything as
much as possible and spend as much as
can be gotten. Taxes on every hand, and
then create fat offices to spend this money
on. We need reform on this line.
A. G. Campbell in New Orleans Times
Democrat: We Mississippians are going
to have law and order. We always have
led in that sphere and will continue to do
so, and when we educate the people to the
harm strong drink does, the blind tiger
will go. The lives of growing sons and
daughters shall not be sacrificed at the
door of the saloon.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: New
Orleans bank statement shows total de-
posits of S49, 800, 800, the commercial de-
posits having increased S435, 400 during the
week and the savings deposits S593, 400
total increase 81 ,O28, 300. 1t is one of the
many signs of better and continuously
improving conditions. There is another
point to be considered in this matter
When, last summer, the Louisiana Legis-
lature forbid gambling on horse races, we
were told it meant the ruin of New Orleans,
heavy loss of visitors and money to this
city. On the other hand, Memphis and
other cities which had abolished race track
gambling telegraphed us that we need have
no apprehension on this score; that their
own experience had shown that instead of
the abolition of gambling impoverishing
them the contrary had been the case; the
deposits in the savings banks had increas-
ed since the touts, race track hangers on
and parasites had been driven out. The
experience of New Orleans, it will be noted,
is to nearly the same effect. The city is
not growing poorer, but, on the contrary,
added nearly 100000 last week to its
savings, which, it is needless to say to
those who know anything of the race
track gambling in vogue here, would not
have been the case had our winter meeting
been in operation this year.

The Passing Of q Political Broker.

New York Post: Of the retiring mem
bers of the United States Senate, none
presents so melancholy a spectacle as
Thomas c. Platt. He goes back to private
life, broken in body and mind, almost
friendless. He has earned no gratitude
only contempt. The people of New York
give sigh of relief that Platt has gone
out of politics forever. His activities have
been confined to the field in which he has
won all his successes we may use that
term-office broker. With his mental
equipment, he might have made a record
to be proud of; but he deliberately mar
rowed his interests and centered his atten-
ton on petty jobs.
We need not press the lesson. 1t is easy
to sneer at ideals and the idealists; but in
the long run it is the idealist who wins and
the gross materialist who goes down in
shameful defeat. Platt and Platt's influ-
ence have wrought nothing but harm in
State and nation. A life so sordid, un-
Illuminated by lofty impulse, unredeemed
by anything resembling devotion to duty,
can secure but one virdict from history;
and in this instance Platt's contemporaries
anticipate the condemnation of posterity.

We note number of paragraphs in our
exchanges complimentary and commend
atory of the Shreveport Times, and they
are well-deserved, for the Times columns
are an epitome Of the worlds doings and
happenings-at least of such as should be
published for the general veal. The Times
is a great newspaper. In all its depart
ments it is carefully and ably conducted.
No other paper covers the field of news in
North Louisiana more fully, more ably nor
more accurately. 1t misses nothing of
importance and enjoys a commendable
reputation for enterprise. It's editorial
discussion of passing events is conserva-

the order to charge was given, and the
First and Second Brigades advanced under

infantry were kept down by my skirmish-

Smith felt immensely proud of his marvel'
Gus achievement! But somebody blum
dered' on the Confederate side, in leaving
this fort containing ten pieces of artillery
and a large quantity Of ordnance and ord
nance stores, defended by only $50 men
in the path of an invading army of twenty
five or thirty thousand Federals without
relief.
In his official report Major General J. g..
Walker, a Confederate Division command
er, said: "In accounting for the disaster
at Fort De Russy it is unnecessary to look
for other causes than the overwhelming
superiority Of the enemy's force; but even
with this disadvantage Fort De Russy
might have been held for some days, per-
haps, without relief from the outside, but
for the vicious system of engineering
adopted and the wretched judgment dis
played in the selection Of the position"

Russey was captured from Federal
blockader at Galveston, the Harriet Lane,
by Major General John B. Magruder.

POLICE HUNT DRUG EVIL
Join Cocaine Crusaders to Demand
Tariff Check

Fer the first time in lis history

las today organized and begun aspe-
eial crusade 10 stamp out the alarm
ING spread Of tin cocaine habit which
is now recognized 70 BE- one of
the most serious of Vice and crime
throughout the country. Every eff
fort is being made to enforce the
now state law against the sale Of
excessive quantities of this drug
for the users Of the dope fiend'
rather than the doctor. Fully -
per cent of the cocaine that passes
through this city the police admit,
finds its way to the victims of the
deadly drug through an underground
system Of traffic which draws it
principally from foreign sources.
With no duty upon coca leaves, from
which Illicit puryeyors extract a
rough form of cocaine for their drug
crazed customers, and only a low
tariff imposed upon the quantities of
the drug hat are shipped here for
secret distribution throughout the
country, 1t is recognized that the
chances for controlling the spread
ing cocaine curses are today cry
slim, even under the most strict
state laws and police surveillance. Ur-

suites and derivatives, to medical pun

MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yard Correspondent

Kansas city Stock Yards. June =
l5og-cattIe receipts last week ag-
eregatod 5000 head here. heaviest
week in several months. The pro
portion of grass cattle was fairly
heavy for 50 early IN the summer.
and The run Of grassefs is AGAIN heavy
toda5, indicating that there will be
practically no period this summer OF
very scant cattle receipts. The mar
ket declined 10 to 20 cents last week,
least loss ON the best cattle, and
die Top sales of yearlings at 500,
aud heavy steers at the same price.
wee as good as any previous time
this season. The run today is
1000 head, containing a larger per
ecntage of grass cattle than any pre-
yious day this summer The fed
grades and those fattened mostly on
or entirely on grass have come to
the parting of the ways today, fed
cattle strong to 10 higher. medium
and low grade cattle weak to 10
lower. Condition of the meat trade
IS fairly healthy, and conservative
marketing of corn fed cattle during
June will no doubt result in the real
ization of some high price levels later
this month for good cattle. The *
tremely low price of hogs is an ele-
ment of profit that will encourage
feeders to hold on. Top steers sold
today at $3.50, and bulk of the decent
fed steers bring $500 to $6.75. Cows
and heifers contain fewer choice fed
grades than a short time ago, COWS
ranging from 1925 to $3.50, heifers
1915 to $3.50, bulls $40 to $500, cal
yes $500 to 500. Stockers and
feeder trade was heavier than usual
last week, without much net chonge
in prices, market steady today, stock
ers at 1913 to $3.50. feeders $4.75
to $3.50.
Although the week closed Saturday
with a lower hog morket. the ten
dency during the week was upward,
and prices averaged highest of the
year. Run was only &C, 1000 for the
week, much below the normal for
June. and the moderate supply of
10. 900 head today indicates that the
expected heavy June receipts will
fail to materialize, and that owners
have not much to fear as to prices
balance of this month. The market
is strong to > higher today, top $7.55,
weights above POO pounds at S7.20 to
$7.55, light hogs up to $I35, pigs
$5.75 to $6.75, when not sold right ia
without sorting.
Sheep and lambs had a backset
last week, declining p to 80 cents
for the week, but this is not surpris-
ing, as the top heavy conditions OF
the market naturally subjects it TO
some erratic moves. Run is 1000
today. market firm, spring lambs
today at $40. and clipped grass
wethers from Texas at $500, proba-
bly, not quite the limit of prices in
either class. Clipped lambs are
worth up to $7.75.fat goats $425. thin
goats for Che country $3.25 TO $40.
