PORT OF NEW ORLEANS
By ROBERT LEE CARTER

New York, July 9.-(Special.)-A move
ment is on foot among some of the lead
ing southerners in New York for an ex-
tension of the Old Home week idea
through the south, along lines which are
somewhat novel. Not only is 1t the pur-
pose to have as many of the southerners
themselves go home at some time set
apart but the idea is to get northern
and western people who have made their
homes in the south invite northern
friends to visit them during old home
week and see the country. 1t Is proba-
BILE that regular excursions will be run
taking in the principal points of interest.
While the places are not yet developed it
is pretty certain that an unusual number
of southerners who now live In the north
will go south during the fall.
The attempt to make New Orleans a
great point of expectation of wheat from
the northwestern states, through an aili-
ance between the Great Northern and Il
linois Central railroads, is a most inter
esting experiment" said @. L. Freeman
of the Crescent City.
Hitherto the line of least resistance in
the matter of what wheat traffic for Eu-
ropean export has been from the Dakotas
to Duluth, from Duluth to Buffalo, from
Buffalo by rail to New York or Montreal.
When the deeper waterways movement
has been carried out the Mississippi will
be made a navigable stream from the
head waters to the mouth, wheat, as a
matter of course, will flow from the
northwest to New Orleans and there be
shipped for Europe. In the meantime the
railroads are trying cut the project 1t
is difficult to divert a stream of traffic SO
well established as that of wheat from
the Dakotas to New York, and enormous
sums of money must be spent for eleva-
tors, terminal facilities. etc. before any
thing can be accomplished on large

SOUTH TO BENEFIT BY
OHIO VALLEY EXHIBIT
viii Bring Home-seekerS Here,
Says A., B. & A. Rep
reSentatiVe

That the Ohio Valley exposition. which
has lust closed at Cincinnati after more
than a months run. will be productive of
an immense amount of benefits to Geor-
gia, and particularly south Georgia, Is
the opinion Of Joseph w. Stewart, the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantics spe-
cial industrial representative at the ex-
position Mr.. Stewart reported to Gen
eral Passenger Agent w. ii. Leahy' Oh
the A, B. & A., Friday morning, and
turned in to him the register on which
western home seekers inscribed their
names during the show for the purpose
of receiving literature concerning the
country along the route of the A., g. a.
A. This register contained about 3,O9o
bona fde names, all of whom may be
classed as prospects for settlement in the
wiregrass section. ....-...
More people are coming south this
winter than we have ever had before I"
said Mr Stewart, land they will all be
home seekers OF the kind we need. /
estimate that we gave out from our booth
at the exposition over 5000 pieces Of lit
erature, all of which was asked for and
eagerly read. Our booth was designated
by a sign which read, Free Literature
About Georgia, and IL was continually
,esieged by a crowd demanding the lit
erature These people were from Iidi-
ana, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa and other states
of that section and they all expressed
their intention OF looking carefully into
the advantages OF this section.
The south has never before had her
wonderful resources exhibited in such a
striking manner as ct the Ohio Valley
exposition. For instance, Georgia had
on exhibition her fruits, her grains. her
minerals and ores her textile fabrics and
other resources. People who saw this
exhibit declared they had no Idea Geor-
gia was capable of producing such things
as were shown there. And all this was
exhibited to an attendance that was 81
per cent larger than any other exposition
Cincinnati has ever held.
There was a meeting of the represent
atives of oil the railroads in the Ohio
valley and these men declared the south
had never had the successful exhibition
of her products that she had at Cincin-
natl 1t was generally conceded that the
A. B. & A. had the best exhibit Of all
the southern roads"
The names on the register brought here
by Mr.. Stewart will be sent out by Mr..
Leahy to all the commercial bodies and
Industrial agents along the line of the
A, B. q A, and those who registered
will receive full and complete informa-
ton concerning the towns and cities and
agricultural districts of that section. 1t
is expected that a large percentage of
these people will be induced to come
south at least to look over the land.
Mr.. Leahy considers the exposition one
OF the best advertising mediums his road
has ever had any dealings with.

been called to the room of Minority
Leader Lee O'Neil Browne.
Browne said to me-" declared the
witness, what is all this talk about
you not voting for Lorimer?
IT replied that l thought for Demo-
crat to vote for Lorimer would kill him,
the Democrat, politically at home.
Browne then told me that many other
Democrats were going to vote for Lor-
inner, and that it would not hurt me. l
talked to other Democrats and found
that some of them were going to vote
for Lorimer and 1 decided to do so my
self"
GOT 1900 FOR VOTE.

June q, 1909, at the request of Browne

sentative Robert z. Wilson, who Beck
emeyer said was acting for Browne.

st. Louis, among them being Representa-
tives Shepherd, Michael Link and Jo-
seph Clark.
When the committee convened today

WILL HOLD LAND SHOW
IN THE FALL OF 1911

The land show to be held at the audi
forum. at which the products Of Georgia
soil will be exhibited, will be held in
the fall of 1911.
This was determined at a meeting of
the committee having the matter in
charge. held at the chamber of com
nerce Friday at noon.
The meeting was attended by Chairman
Shelby Smith, E. p. Ansley. Steven Hook,
S &. thurman. Frank Weldon and Col.
s. {. Dunlap. OF the Georgia Bureau OF
Industries and immigration.
The meeting was enthusiastic for the
land show. but it was also of the opin-
ion that sufficient tine should be taken
to maze II one OF the best the country
has ever seen. 1t was then decided that
the doors should not be thrown open
until next fall. but that from January
l. 1911. until the opening date skilled
men should be busy getting exhibits in
shape and preparing for the event.
Mr. thurman made a motion that the
show be held In the late fall of 1911, say
The latter part OF October or the first
part Of November. because at that time
all crops of Georg are in and the farm
ers will have more time to devote to such
matters.
Colonel Dunlap said he knew the rail-
roads would lend every assistance in
their power to the show in the way of
aiding the work. He said the railroads
were anxious to help the development
OF the south. as was being proven every
day 10y the WORK being done through
Their agents.
Frank Weldon will at once open up
correspondence with organizations over
the state asking that they cooperate
with the land show promoters. Effort
will be made to secure the aid Of those
interested in movements that will lead
70 the betterment of conditions. In other
words, the land show promoters want
The aid OF all who viii give it and also
intend TO work in conjunction with all
organizations that will help Greater
Georgia.

TO KILL "WILD CATERS"
is THE AIM OF MINERS

Los ANGELES, Sept. :9.-The problem
created by state versus national claims
for control of water power sites which
excited the irrigation congress at Pu-
ebIo. came before the resolutions COM
mittee of the American Mining con-
gress today in the form of a resolution
demanding that state control be recog-
nized and forthwith laws be passed which
will enable the sites to be leased and
the power developed, while the revenue
from such leases shall be devoted to the
protection of water sheds from forest
fires.
d. L. Foster, of Colorado, presented
the resolution. 1t calls for 6O-year leases
of water power sites and declares that
the water is essential for the further
DEVELOPMENT Of the mining interest.
It may cause an interesting session
either in the committee or on the floor
of the congress, as there are both
friends and foes of state control among
the delegates.
The resolutions committee delivered a
favorable report on the additions to the
plans to eliminate the wild caters"
This was a suggestion by Lewis Au-
bury, mine commissioner of California,
who recommended that in all mining and
oil states that have no such officers
now, state commissioner of corpora
tons be appointed with power to inves-
ticate all mining and oil companies, and
