school house building in the square
was under discussion during open
council meeting in February or March
Of the present year, stated, they did
not want deed to it. This fact is
doubtless we'll remembered, not only

needs of home consumption.

needs of home consumption.
In the packery is offered a market
during every day in the year. When
ever the farmers or planters hogs were
in marketable condition their sale
could be realized at the plant.
1t is fact we'll established that there
is no profit in feeding hogs after they
are suitable for pork, ham and sau-
sages, but if there should failure attend
the proposed packing plant, the raising
of hogs for shipment may be profitable.
At any rate the farmers and the plant
ers will add to their wealth if they will
devote greater attention in growing
hogs for home consumption than in the
past.
1t is not possible for farmer Or
planter to escape disaster and utter ruin,
who will depend on St Louis or Kan
sas City for his corn and meat.
The only salvation for the country is
in diversifcation by the tillers of the
soil. Every industry is dependent on the
success of the farmers. All wealth must
come from the soil.

PROHIBITION CASES
;. G. Morris Is Found Guilty in the
City Court-He Has Appealed.

In the City Court, Judge Fullilove,
e. e. Morris, wholesale liquor dealer,
was tried on charge of soliciting and
receiving orders for whiskey in a pro-
hibition territory and fined S1oo and
costs, and in default of payment 100
days.
The accused was ably defended by
John D. Wilkinson. The State was rep-
resented by District Attorney Foster.
Judge Fullilove's decision is based
under special Act No. 62 of 1906 which
prohibits any one from seeking, solicit
ing or receiving orders for the sale of
spurious or Intoxicating liquors in
territory in which the retailing of such
liquors is prohibited by law From this
decision Morris has appealed.
The argument in the cases of ]. j.
Yost, 7. Mandel, " Campisi and G.
Joliff, charged with violating the pro-
hibition law by selling "Near Beer" was
postponed until next Saturday at 2
o'clock.

MARSTON'S PLAN
Planters of Ouachita Parish in Earnest
and Active.

In the Monroe News is detailed a
meeting of planters of Ouachita held
in Monroe yesterday who have indorsed
the Marston's plan of destroying the
Boil Weevil. Not only did these plant
ers endorse m words but they propose
to raise fund of 5000 to carry into
practice the plan through which is
promised the destruction Of the Boil
Weevil as was destroyed the caterpiller.
Marston's plan is simple and practical
and it is its simplicity and practical de-
monstration which gives assurance of
success.

BRYAN COMING
Will Be in Shreveport on Saturday,
January Thirtieth.

William Jennings Bryan, the worlds
greatest living orator, will deliver his
celebrated lecture "The Prince of
Peace" before Shreveport audience at
Up. m. January 80. The unusual hour
for the lecture is owing to the fact that
Mr.. Bryan will only be here between
trains while en- route to Birmingham
His appearance here will be under ths
auspices of the ladies of the Christian
Church and in the interest of their
building fund for new church. Mr..
Bryan was in Shreveport about eight
years ago, but there are many who have
never had the opportunity of hearing
the great Commoner, and his visit at
this time is sure to arouse a wide in
terest.

SIMON HEROLD.

Over the demise of Simon Herold
which occurred at his home in this city
IN Tuesday night, there are many who
mourn besides his relatives and close
friends. The deceased was generally
esteemed for his many qualities of mind
and heart. He was in every sense a
good citizen, and during his long years
had been active in good works.
The deceased was born in Ellerstadt,
Rhemsh Bavaria, February E, 1895. He
cached the United States and located
in Vicksburg, Miss, in 1853. Since 1866
he had resided in Shreveport, where he
engaged successfully in business.
In 1869 he married Miss Sophie Kauf-
man, there being three children from
the union, two now living, Mrs. Nettie
Herold Hoffheimer at Richmond, Va,
and Joseph K. Herold of St. Louis.
In 1870 he was married to Miss Rosa
Simmons, their children being Sidney
H., DR.. Arthur and Leah Herold, Flora
Herold, Henrietta Herold and Sallie
Herold.
The burial was in the Jewish Rest, in
the presence of large gathering of his
friends.
The mortuary service was conducted
by Rabbi M. P. Jacobson, who referred
in the most appropriate and eloquent
words to the deceased, his character and
his usefulness as man, father and
good citizen.

THE HOG PACKING PLANT?

THE HOG PACKING PLANT?
Is this promised industry to be added
to the anticipations which have gone
glimmering into the past?
1t would seem that the protector has
met with some obstacles or enbarrass-
meht which may operate against the full
hllment of his promise.
AT any rate, no complaint can be
urged against the farmers and the plant
ers who have responded promptly to
every request made upon them to Sc
cure the hog packing plant.
It is true. that hogs in number un-
limited can be raised throughout North
Louisiana and supplied at fair profit to
packery established in or near Shreve-
port. but there must Be an incentive to

PURE WATER SUPPLY
An Inquiry Suggested by Major Raul
Lowenthal of the Council.

The chairman of the Water Commit
tee, Major Paul Lowenthal, has been
active in securing information in con-
nection with a supply of pure water for
the use of the citizens of Shreveport.
| At the session of the Council Tuess'ay
night he introduced a resolution asltng
the cooperation of the Finance Cdm
mittee with the Water Committee, in an
investigation of a source of supply of
pure water.
The question of pure water has been
discussed and reviewed in the Council,
in public and the press. There have
been many jealous advocates of the
water from Red river, and there have
been many suggestions impracticable
and costly, but the water from the Red
river is not viewed with favor.
In his report on Cross Lake, En-
gineer Wilson says that the first thing
that presented itself to him was the
probable area of the body of water US
ing the Kansas City Southern embank-
ments as part of the proposed dam. He
consulted with maps and found that
there was watershed of $50 square |
miles and the lake is fed by hundreds of |
very fine springs, enough to overcome
evaporation at any time of the year.
The depth of the water at the railroad |
is 22 feet, tapering out to
nothing eight miles up the lake. He
estimates that the railroad trestle can
be filled for $Io6o8. A spillway is sug-
gested and a steel trestle on concrete
piers is also necessary and these can
be built for $4,000. The lake can be
cleared of trees and underbrush, he es-
Inmates, at a 'cost of 5000, and the
building of another embankment of the
:ailroad can be built on the west side at
J cost of $4,000, bringing the total cost
Up to $47,6o8
1t may be recalled when the water
CITATION was in activity year ago the :
CAUCASIAN suggested the possibility of
his lake as source. from which pure
vater could be obtained, at compara- j.,
lively nominal COST
In his report Mr. Wilson says:
AT a glance you will see that this :,
1ill make magnificent body of water
nd one that will give the city of
hreveport abundant water for years to
ONE, and the distance from Red river,
18th its caving banks, makes it safe dur
'g any high water that may come down
1e river. Red river water, when at !
Nv stage, is not good to drink although,
ear, with its headwaters in Oklahoma
an immense gypsum bed.
The basin known as Cross Lake has $
one of these objections, being fed en- Il
rely by soft water springs and an inn
ense watershed. There are no large
WINS to be drained into this watershed.
erefore no trouble could come from IL
is source. Mr.. Hepburn and myself III
ade extensive surveys twenty years e'

r the city. We found that we could III !.
It an eleven foot fall down to the foot u
Market street. By using this fall with II
improved water wheel I am sure d'
ater power to great extent could be
ed along the bayou and river front. -

prposes and have found not single II

The East Side Destroyed by Fire This

The east side of Oil City embracing
thirteen buildings was destroyed by fire
this morning between 3 and 4 o'clock.
The origin of the fire is not known, but

heated stove which was close to the
wooden partition of the building in
which it occurred
The thirteen buildings were burned in
forty-6ve minutes. There was little in
surance.
Oil City is on the Kansas City South
