The Nations Market Garden.

ANY one travelling down the Lower Coast on
either bank of the river will be much struck
with the beautiful market gardens that are ap-
pearing on the lands formerly devoted to the
culture of rice or Of the sugar cane. In the
1eeuits' Bend settlement on the West bank the
Perez and Bayhi families have some beautiful
gardens. The great fields of lettuce. cabbage,
MioAs and garlic are showing up with their
sansnmnal splendor and these plants withstand
the light freezes that occasionally occur on the
Lower Coast and the harvest goes on constant
" during the next five months. Down below,
In the Laussade settlement and still further
down in t c Home Place country, gardening has
come to stay and is one of our most promising
Lower Coast industries. On the East bank Of
the river the so-called Italian village in the
upper part of St. Bernard shows up beautifully
these wintery days and down below, in Plaque
mines parish, beginning with Mr.. Joseph Meyer
On Greenwood and continuing with DR.. Rodri-
tuez' beautiful properties and on through the
reoperties Of the Meyers, who are the pioneers
of garden culture in that section, all the way

which makes those who have visited the PACING
coast think of the delightful market and flower
gardens that exist along the coast tor a 'unoreo
miles Or more below San Francisco.
The Lower Coast is coming into its quite
rapidly and visitors are much impressed with
what they see there. An old friend OF ours IN
his Younger days told US Of going out to Ne"

Coast among the orange orchards and that ne

Golden apples on the Lower Coast and ours are
the Gardens of the Hesperides, but we must not
forget that we have also lettuce,

and m%uskmelons in indefinitely greater supply
and the nation at large, or the Mississippi VAL
lev from Omaha to Pittsburg is beginning TO
depend upon the Lower Coast for its market
garden delicacies.

Our Blizzard.

PENINsULAR LOUISIANA, or that part OF this
state that projects a hundred mites out ln@o tne
Gulf, is blessed by Providence with a inner c!''
mate than any other part of the United States
The blizzard that has recently come down upon
Louisiana from the Northwest and brought
snow and ice within the. states borders, has
dealt lightly with the Lower Coast. The cane
crops are nearly all harvested and the garden
crops now in process of culture are comparative
" resistant to light freezing weather and the
temperature that we have had has proDapty
done no injury to The orange crop or the orange
trees. Our own people and others who are De-
coming familiar with the lands along the owe
Coast are gradually reaching a higher apprec'a-
ton of our climatic advantages than they nave
had heretofore. During the freezing weather
of 1895. when we had a foot of snow in the city
of New Orleans, and in 1899 when the temper
ature was lower than for two hundred years.
while it was cold enough here on the Lower
Coast, at the same time we Jared tar better
than they did in Florida, where the orange IN
dustry was practically annihilated for the time
being. -.
The Parishes of Plaquemines and st. Ber'
nard, projecting as they do into the Gulf from
the mainland, are thus practically surrounded
by salt water. A temperature which would de-
stroy plant life in the dry lands Of central and
western Texas would leave vegetation on the
Lower Coast untouched, the vast body OF ad]a-
cent water giving it adequate protection. freez:
ing weather has come later this year than usual
to the State of Louisiana, but it is a fact that as
a rule we rarely ever have any severe weather
in the Parish of P%laquemines until very late IN
December and at a time when our leading crops
are about all harvested. We don't; say this .tf

lands, but to urge them to. learn to apprreclatt!

New Blood in the Parish Of Plaque
mines,

THE Kentuckians have always been in the
front in the whole country lying between their
own sacred land and the Gulf of Mexico. They
were down here in 1916, helping General Jack
son to lick the British. They came here again
in 1916 and were a very important factor in the
Mexican War. They reached California in l849
by the way of New Orleans and they are still
coming. Among our latest arrivals is that OF
Mr.. Carlisle, who has bought that we'll
known tract Of land in the second ward known
as the jim Williams tract, lying between Bur-
bridge and Fairview plantations and formerly
belonging to Mr.. w. H. Norwood and more
recently to MI. D. D. Daunoy. Mr.. Carlisle is
q prominent Kentuckian and his famous uncle,
John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury un-
der Grover Cleveland, is an old time friend OF
ours. We sincerely welcome Mr.. Carlisle to
Plaquemines Parish and the beautiful home and
tract Of land that he has purchased we have no
doubt will blossom like a rose under his kindly
care. If Mr.. Carlisle intends to maintain the
reputation of his native state it will be neces-
sary for him to plant a bed of spearmint. All
the other concomitants of the necessary Ken
lucky juleps he can get from his native state,
or supply himself from his friends in the vicin-
ity. If we remember correctly they only re-
quire the necessary sugar, spearmint and then
that spiritual exaltatation that can only come
from Old Kentucky.

.HARRINAN'S GREAT WORK
Undertook Task of Building Up the
Union Pacific When Well Up
in Years.

New York, Sept. 9.-The great achieve
ment Of Mr. Harrimau's career as a
fnancier and railroad manager was the
rehabilitation of the Union Pacific rail-
way system. Mr.. Hartman undertook
this heTCulean task when he was
nearly 80 years of age, and after he had
once practically retired from business.
Other finanCiers had failed signally to
put these properties on a paying basis,
but Mr.. Hartman, following the reOr-
ganizatiOn of the Union Pacific in 1891
began a systematic plan to place the
properties in the best possible condition
for their maintenance at a high stand
ard of efficiency. 1t was his policy to
keep his railroads in the best workable
condition, confident that sooner or later
the question Of dividends would take
care of itself
To the task he had undertaken Mr..
Hartman gave unfagging industry,
and it was his constant work that
brought on the final breakdown in his
health. Stomach trouble developed
more than a year ago, and medical
treatment gave no relief. This sum-
mer he went to Europe to consult the
greatest specialists there, but he was
not benefited.
On his return to this country, he went
at once to his magnificent country home
at Arden, where death occurred.

HARTMAN LOVED
BY ASSOCIATES
Vice President Calvin of the
Southern Pacific Talks of
Dead Chief.

San Francisco, Sept 9-'Edward H
Hartman was the greatest railroad
genius the country ever has produced,
and personally he was a lovabIe char
acter. He was little understood by the
public"
Such was the tribute paid by E. E.
Calvin, vice president and general
manager of the Southern Pacific, to his
late chief.
Hartman was well loved by the
men who were associated with him as
his subordinates in the railroad world.
Mr.. Calvin continued. He studied the
characteristics OF his officials, and
when satisfied with them they had his
fullest confidence.
Because of Harriman's genius for
organization, I think his death viii
have comparatively little effect on the
carrying out of his plans for the i'm
proVement of the roads under his con-
troll. All big undertakings in the west
mapped out by him were considered
and planned i'm detail, and I believe
they VIII be carried out by his assO-
ciates without the slightest Interrupt
ton.
AS to who will succeed Hartman. I
have no official information. Julius
KruttsChnitt and j. c. Stubs always
have been closely i'm touch with Harri-
mans plans, and, so far as I know,
they VIII continue to execute the de-
tails"

R. S. LOvett Takes Charge of

ABILITY is UNQUESTI0NED
GENERAL COUNSEL is NOT A

r. S. Lovett, commonly known as
Judge Lovett, is now at the head Of the

and several other of the large compa-

the officers from among their number.
The bylaws also provide that the di-

LONDON NEWSPAPERS
TALK OF HARTMAN

London, Sept &c. H. Harriman's
death is made the leading feature Of many
of the London newspapers. which print
portraits and long articles of his career
The news of his death came too late to
gather the opinions of British financial
magnates, but the general opinion i'm
financial circles is that the disturbance
Of the stock market here will be only
temporary and slight, some even think
ing that there may be an upward reac-
ton i'm prices.
There has been a gradual dWindling of
market values during Mr. Harriman's i'll
ness and, as the speculative commitments
in American securities have been very
small i'm London, the effect of his death
has been largely discounted.
Today, however, is the concluding day
OF the fOrtnightly settlement and MANY
rumors are afloat of difficulties in the
American market, owing to the recent
decline I'm prices. According to one ru-
NOR, 1t Is asserted that a European syn
dictate is being formed to support prices.
According 10 another, big operators are
in trouble. A feeling of anxiety there
fore prevails.

ceeded Mr.. Cornish a few years before
when Mr.. Cornish took the position of
first vice president Of the Union Pacific
and other lines. Mr.. Cornish was well
known in Salt Lake, where he had
made many friends on his occasional
visits here. Mr. LOvett, however, is not
as well known in salt Lake, but those
who have been in any way associated
with him, speak of him as a man of ex-
celient executive and legal ability.
Mr.. LOvett's last visit to Salt Lake
was at the time of the hearing of the
case against the express companies
brought before the interstate commerce
commission by the merchants of Boise.
Mr. LOvett was in charge Of the defense
