And leaves the smile of his departure

And leaves the smile of his departure
spread
Der the warm-colored heaven and
ruddy mountain head.
"Why weep We, then, for him, who,
having won
Tn e bound of mans appointed
years, at last,
Life's blessings all enjoyed, life's Ia
bors done,
Serenely to his final rest has passed.;
While the soft memory of his vir-
tues. yet,
Lingers like twilight hues when the
bright SUI is set.
"His youth was innocent, his ripper
age
Marked with some act of goodness
every day;
And watched byeyes that loved him,
calm and sage,
Faded his decling years away, .
Cheerful he gave his being up, and
To share the holy life that waits on a
life we'll spent.
"That life was happy; every day he
gave
Thanks for the fair existence that
WIS his;
For a sick fancy made him not her
slave.
To mock him with her phantom
miseries.
No chronic tortures racked his aged
limb,
For luxury and sloth had nourished
none for him.
"a nd I am glad that he has lived
thus long,
And glad that he has gone to his
reward:
Nor deem that kindly nature did him
wrong,
Softly to disengage the vital chord,
When his weak hands grew palsied,
and his eye
Dark with the mists of age, it was his
time to die"

Forests Damaged by porcuplnes.

Reports from Bishop, Inyo county,
California, indicate that porcupines
are seriously damaging the lodgepole
pine forests of the eastern slope of the
Sierras. Practically the entire area
of the Inyo National Forest has Eeen
affected to some extent. Ia many To-
calities the damaged trees aggregate
as high as % per cent OF the total
stand. While these areas are not
large, it is evident that if something
is not done to curb the attack, much
of the timber in that section will be
killed.
The porcupine feeds to large ex-
tent during the winter months upon
the inner bark OF the pine. To secure
this he travels about upon the snow,
and completely girdles the trees just
above the snow line. Of course, this
results in the death of the tree. The
damage would not be so serious but
for the fact that the porcupine seldom
makes two meals off the same tree, but
prefers to visit several trees in the
course of night. Since its habits
are nocturnal, hunting this animal
is very difficult. The attention OF the
Forest Service has been called to the
raw ages of these animals, and plans
for their determination are under con-
sideration.

Texas and Pacific Depot.

The Chief takes pleasure in repro
ducing herewith the contribution OF
a prominent and public spirited citi-
zen of Dona1dsonville to a topic OF
much public interest:
Donaldsonville, La March ID, 1909.
To the Editor of The Times-Democrat:
s'As a patron of the Texas and
Pacific Railroad, I'd like to say few
words on the depot question. Thanks
to your good work, this line is now
giving US very satisfactory service,
and that is the most important thing
with the travelling public after all.
s'Let this road build a million dollar
depot, and still most OF its passengers
will use the Gretna ferry, because
they save time. They would save more
time if the trains had to come to Canal
street under the best conditions, and
still more when the wharves are very
busy and blockades are likely to occur.
"If the trains were run down Opposite
to the foot of Canal street in Algiers
and a covered walk built for passen-
gers to the Canal street ferry, think
that would suit the genuine travelling
public better than any other arrange
ment they could make. These having
business uptown could then use the
Gretna ferry and those whose business
brought them down town would have a
splendid double boat ferry service
that would no doubt be further i'm
proved to meet the added trefffc. This
arrangement would place passengers
on Canal street half an hour sooner
than the trains could reach there: it
would also remove the cause OF many
late trains oD this road. II an inbound
train happens to be late the transfer
boat has to wait in Gouldsboro for it,
often causing the outbound train to
leave behind time, or If the wind lie
high or the approaches get out OF line
there is another delay.
tsNow hat we have such good
schedules, what we want is closer
obserp auce of these schedules, and
think if the plan mentioned were once
tried it would leave Etsle.to be desired
by patrons of the good, old reliable
Texas and Pacific.

ADVERTISING LOUISIANA
Progressive Union of New Orleans Under
takes Broad Work for the
State at Large.


The New Orleans Progressive Union
has undertaken specific work in adj
ysrtising the state of Louisiana and
Is sending out broadcast little
pamphlet entitled "Louisiana-Her
Resources and Opportunities, in
which the wonderful variety of the
agricultural and mineral products OF
the state are deserted in brief and
numerous data given which demon.
strate the progress OF the state and its
desirability as place of residence.
The pamphlet deals with such subjects
as forestry, navigable streams, rail-
road building, sugar, cotton, rice,
corn, fruits and vegetables, live
stock, fishing and hunting, tobacco,
oysters and sea foods, educational
institutions, and last, but not least,
the mineral resources, with special
stress laid upon the great fields OF nat-
ural gas, oil, salt and sulphur. At.
tention Is also called to the fact that
Louisiana does not tax foreign capital
sent here for loan and investment pur
poses.
Secretary M anager Nj. B. Treze-
want, Who compiled the pamphlet and
who is also president of the Louisiana
Commercial Secretaries Association,
has not overlooked his confreres, and
gives a list of commercial organiza-
tions similar to the Progressive Union,
to whom prospective settlers and others
may write for additional information.
Credit il also given Hon. Charles
Schiller, state commissioner OF agri-
culture and immigration, for data IN
compiling the pamphlet. Owing to the
fact that the department is at present
without funds to do this work, the Pro
gressive Union voluntarily undertook
to temporarily supply the deficiency
and is receiving much praise for the
broad policy pursued.
Whatever helps the state, helps US
ALL says Mr.. TrezeYant, sand the
Progressive Union could do 20 better
work than advertise the wonderful re-
sources of louisiana.
