:" Jig higher, damn youl cried Scoville, and
fired again with both guns. Cal Moran was
shaking with laughter, and began circling about

Scoville's that the lad step higher And as
the boy obeyed slowly the men shot into the

They continued firing at intervals. till Isa-

RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Monroe Business Men Reviving the
Steamboat Interest

The business men Of Monroe held a
meeting Tuesday at which was consid-
cred earnestly the importance of river
navigation 1t is beyond the under
standing of men not favored with the
advantage of river to realize why
steamboat traffic is neglected. If ap-
piled to Red river some explanation
could be offered Perhaps the situation
and the conditions at Monroe are not
as they are at Shreveport and the Red
river below the city. The Caucasian
has preached untiringiy from the text :
Where there is a river there should be
some active traffic by boat, but since
two railroads parallel the river from
Shreveport for miles below as far as
Natchitoches and Alexandria, it has
been impossible for steamboat to be
operated against loss, and therefore
there is no steamboat in Red river and
the traffic by water is practically at ar
end, at least for some time
1t will not be disputed that this com
pulsory forsaking of the river by steam
boats must retroact on the interests o.
this section and may lead to the defea
Of any appropriation by Congress fol
the improvement of Red river It i.

certain that Congress will not provide
means for the betterment of stream
on which there is no traffic, river
which in a commercial sense is of little
value as there is not sufficient traffic to
keep a small steamboat employed
against loss.
The Importance Of river traffic IN
competition with the railroad can not
be over-estimated. and while it is true
that the traffic of this section is con-
fined to railroads, if it were not for the
river, Shreveport and this section would
fare no better than the towns and cities
which must pay the freight rates f1Ned
BY the railroads.
The activity of the business men OF
Monroe in the revival of steamboat traf-
hc is encouraging There was held re-
Gently in Shreveport a conference OF
business men who will contribute their
influence to the Red river Improvement
In this betterment Of the river the peo-
pie of the upper Red river are deeply
concerned and favor steamboat traffic
which. when operative. will lead to their
relief from the rates by railroads which
are deemed to be, in many instances. I'M
reasonable if not too high.
At any rate, the interest being mani
tested bv the business men OF Monroe
OF Shreveport and the people of the up

A. G.. Glover alias George Goddard.

son, is realizing the rccklessness of his
tongue. Had he been conservative and
mad he no, presumed that he could fling
his defiance i'll the face of decency he

ton of the officers of Birmingham. Ala
As already known to the readers of

ing whiskey without a license Glover is

lam. Ala, sheriff.
Since he has admitted his identity he
has, from the publicity given him, been
pleading not only for sympathy but ap-
pealing to the people of Shreveport to
save him by interposing against his re-
turn to .Alabama If Glover will. per-
sist in declaring that he is innocent, that
he is being prosecuted and can get a

cided adversely to the State by the STU

that he did not think that the court

REPORT By CROP
PEST COMMISSION.
MANSURA EXPERIMENTS
As the Weather Becomes Warmer the
Weevils Emerge from Their Hiber-
mating Quarters in the Cages at
Faster and Faster Rate.

Baton Rouge, La, March 3o.-The
State Crop Pest Commission has re-
ceived many requests for information
as to how its experiments at Mansura,
La, in studying the Information and
sprinq emergence of the boil weevlls, are
cuoing out. Accordingly. the Commis-
sion TODAY gave out the following state
| nent:
The experiments, i'll large cages, at
Nansura were instituted for the pur-
pose of finding out what per cent OF the
weevils survive the winter IN central
Louisiana At different times in the au-
tumn of 1908 total OF Ib.2SI weev'ls
were collected in the cotton fields about
Mansura and placed in large wire cloth
cages, each cage containing stumps'
corn stalks, grass, etc. III winch the
weevils could find average winter pro-
lection. These cages are now beng eN-
amined twice daily and at each exam'-
nation the weevils out Of the trash and
active are removed from the cage and
counted.
A number of planters have expressed
| the desire that the observations and
| figures on this emergence OF wecvlls be
given to the public from time to time.
Accordingly we will try to furnish a
report to the newspaper about every
ten days or two weeks
The first.wecvils began to leave their
winter quarters in the cages as carly as
February IS. Up to March 18th, go or
E per cent of the original number placed
in the cages last fall had emerged
| The experiment is SO arranged that
the percentage of weeviis SURVIVING the
winter can be determined when the cot
lton plants are destroyed at different
dates in the fall Weevils taken from
the field on, say, October l and placed
in cages containing no cotton would
have the same chance for living 10 the
following spring as they would have II
allowed to remain III the field and all
cotton plants destroyed October l.
Following are The results up to March
q. 1000: OF the weevils collected from
the fields on September 2S, 1908, 10:
per cent have emerged from hiberna
ltion; of those collected October IL, 3.44
lof those collected October 10, o.76: col
lected October 26. 5 81; collected No
vember 2, oS8; collected November
Is. 58; collected November 16, ST.; col
lected November e, $50; collected No
vember 80, 1888; collected December
II, 8.62: collected December IL, I4.6
COLLECTED December 81, 2I.53.
The most striking thing about thl
emergence thus far is the enornlsu
percentage surviving the winter of tn
Iweevils collected in December. Thi:
seems to indicate that the farmer wht
failed to destroy his cotton plants reas
onably early last fall will this year hav'
to contend with dangerously heavy in
festation.
AS the weather becomes warmer th
weevils emerge from their hibernatin'
quarters in the cages at faster ant
faster rate. On cool days very few
emerge, but on warm days the emerg
ence is rapid
