The State Of Louisiana is one of

dismay and bewilderment.
For instance the region along The
roadbed Of the 0pelousas, Gulf II
Northeastern Railroad, in st. Landry
parish, was almost a Dismal Swamp
as far as human intrusion is concerned
before the railroad gangs blazed the
right-of-way Portions had never
been penetrated even by deer and
bear hunters.
And all this il wooded with the
choicest trees oak, hickory, ash, elm,
gum, magnolia, dogWood, persimmon,
and many other varieties.
When the vast areas of Louisianas
trees are known, some idea os the
quantity of timber existing III the
State will be formed.
With the end Of the cypress supply
already in sight, and The pine supply
being rapidly diminished, tlle virgin

tention, and IS already bringing wealth
to the State.

told how one saw mill resusitated d

of Port Barre is the history Of many

No where on earth is there pre-

acting Upon Suggestion Of Judge Edwards, 81.
pFeme COuFtSubmIts Proposition to Local Bar
MAY BE JUNE JURY TERM
OF Criminal C0aFi..Judges Would Alternate,
Each Giving I've Weeks Of his TIme..,May
Be Edwards, 0'NeaE and CampbaII.

It was expected that Judge Ed.
wards, appointed by the Supreme
Court to act during the illness Of
Judge Perrault, would convene a
criminal jury term Of court the first
week in June.
This, however, is not quite certain
in fact it is very uncertain.
Judge Edwards is suffering from
his eyes. Besides, he has advised the
Supreme Court that holding court
here at such intervals as he could
spare from his court only would avail
very little in relieving the st. Landry
situation, as a nine months continual
session was necessary to clean the
accumulated civil and criminal dockets.
He made suggestion to the Su-
preme Court which that tribunal has
referred TO this bar and which this
bar promptly and gladly accepted.
f is that the Supreme Court desig-
nate three Judges, who are to alter
nate In sitting here one say two
weeks, The next two weeks, and so on.
What moved the Supreme Court to
action was the complaint Of the clerk
of court here that the docket was
being congested, and that a Judge he
sent. The Supreme Court commune
Gated with Judge Edwards, who had
been appointed here, and that gentle
man informed the court of bis in
ability to handle the situation, parti-
cularly as he was suffering from eye
troubles.
It is the impression the Judges
will be 0neal Of st. Mary, Campbell
of Lafayette and Edwards of YER
million.
Lawyers and litigants are cIamor-
ing for court.

Alice Trainor

Died, ii New Orleans, on Sunday
evening May 8, 1909, at / 30 o'clock,
Alice Trainor, wife Of the late Louis
Desmarais, Jr.,aged 35 years.
Strong of mind, lovable of nature.
kind Of heart, Mrs. Desmarais was a
woman Of exceptional attributes.
During the long illness Of her late
husband who preceded her to the grave
but d brief seven months, her heroic
duties as a wife was sublime. Ever
with him, abstaining from any of the
diversions that some would seek at
times under The circumstances, she
was bis ministering angel through
the several years of confinement to
bed. This is of course the duty Of a
wife-but how often not giveni
After his death, Notwithstanding
that he left her q comfortable worldly
competence, she set to work to
preserve and increase her property.
So that her only child, a sweet little
girl Of Six years, may 60 through
life unhampered by need. She fitted
up the home place for a private lodg-
ing house, and herself secured d
position as one of the assistants in
the postofice here. This alone show
ed noble trait, q heart that beat
true in true woman.
Her death is attended By pathetic
circumstances. Her tall stature ro-
bust with the flesh and flush of health,
none thought that Death hoYered her
footsteps, until it was announced d
little over a week ago that she was
afflicted with appendicitis. And then
her strong physical constitution il
was thought would be with her in the
operation, and save her life.
She was taken to New Orleans two
weeks ago. The operation was per-
formed in the New Orleans Sanitarium
Friday morning, and it was at first
thought she would survive it. Com
plications set in Saturday, and SUNDAY
her child, who had remained here,
was sent for. Accompanied BY her
aunt, Miss Althee Desmarais, little
Alice left here The same morning,
but they arrived there too late, death
having taken off the good woman at
1:30 o'clock that day.
The body was brought here Mon
day, and the interment took place at
the Catholic cemetary Tuesday at 10
o'clock, after solemnization of the
funeral rites in the Cotholie Church.
The esteem in which she was held
in the community was shown by the
large eoncourse of people which met
the body at the depot upon its ar
rival Monday, and again followed it
to It's last resting place.
In her viii, which she made just
before she departed for New Orleans,
she left her only child, a daughter
six years of age, under the guardian
ship Of her aunt, Miss Althee Des-
marais, who is to raise her to emanci-
patton.
She has met her reward up above,
but too soon was she called to il.
May her soul rest in peace.
