BY ALVIN ERNEST BELDIN,
Gently flow my placid waters
On their journey, to the lake;
While the pines their dirge are
chanting,
And my ripples music make.
Once the Red Skins plunged my
waters
In their little birch canoes;
While the dear roamed through the
forests,
Meath the sunsets golden hues.
From the dells, upon the uplands,
Where the fringed gentians grow,
Rilis from springs, meath tender
fern leaves,
Join my ceaseless, silent flow.
In the spring the sudden showers
Cause my waters to O'erflow;
Rushing, racing, splashing, dashing
Der the banks my torrents go.
Silver naples shade my waters.
Red sweet gums in autumn glow.
Turtles sun upon the drift wood.
Birches on my sand banks grow.
Ceaseless flow my placid waters,
Evermore their lays to sing;
Bowling tree tops marks its metre.
Clear and sweet it's echoes ring.

A LARGE PAPER MILL
FOR B0CALUSA.

FUR BOGALUSA.
1t is common saying that any
country is representative of its people.
In other words, if the people are
energetic, progressive and intelligent,
all the resources are turned to profit
wealth is produced where inactivity
and idleness would leave a barron
waste. It has frequently been stated
the waters of st. Tammany parish pos
sess the purity required for the manu-
facture of paper, and that suitable
fibre or good grade of paper could be
obtained, yet capital has never been
interested in the investment Of a
plant, notwithstanding the business is
a profitable one, the demand being
urgent and the market unlimited.
Bogalusa, with half the advantages,
but with an eye to business and de-
velopment, and an energetic determi-
nation, has under way the building of
q paper mill to use up and turn into
profit the waste of the Great Southern
Lumber Company. The concern is
known as the Southern Wood Distil-
lates and Fibre Company, and has
Offices in Chicago, is capitalized at
half million dollars and will put up a
plant valued at a quarter of a million.
The Times-Democrat of January Is,
publishes an excellent account of this
new venture and publishes cut of
the main building as it will appear
when completed. The following is an
extract from that write-up:
''The Bogalusa plant, on which con-
struction has begun, and which will
be ready for operation in July next,
will have more than ten acre of floor
space and will include power house,
wood room, chemical building, soda
retaining system building, beater
building, machine building, finishing
building, machine shop and two store
houses. Power house and reclaiming
system building will be Of fireproof
steel and concrete construction. Much
of the equipment has been specially
designed and the machinery ordered
is of special make and type through
out. Approved labor-saving devices,
including complete conveyor system,
will be installed to lessen handling
costs. The plant has been designed
with view to its economical expan-
sion and it is expected that the ca
pacity will be enlarged later on. 1t
will give employment to about 100
operatives, proving noteworthy ad-
dition to the list of Bogalusa's indus
tries, while it's potential value to the
yellow pine belt of the entire South is
readily apparent.
Following are the directors of the
Southern Wood Distillates and Fiber
Company, most of themwell known in
lumber circles: w. B. Judson, formerly
half owner and manager of the Ameri-
can Lumberman, now vice president of
the Mutual Paper Company, Seattle,
Wash; C. M. Peaslee, president C.
M. Peaslee Lumber Company, Du-
buque, Ia; Walter c. Wright, pro-
prietor Lumber Grade Journal, New
Orleans; C. D. Benedict, of c. D.
Benedict Lumber Company, Chicago,
Peoria and Hattiesburg; G. r. Wright,
Chicago, in active charge of the COM
pany's business as vice president and
general manager; C. F. Mclean,
Chicago, secretary and counsel: A.
w. landlord, Chicago, engineer in
charge and superintendent Of con-
struction."

SANFORD MANUFACTURING
AND REFINING co.

The meeting Of the Sanford Manu-
featuring and refining Company,
which was held in the psrlors Of the
Southern Hotel last week, gives an
other instance where St. Tammany
parish has let slip an opportunity that
might have developed an industry
that would have brought her thous-
ands of dollars. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. G. E. Sanford worked
assiduously to dispose of enough stock
to start factory for canning syrup.
He claimed a process that eliminated
fermentation and the deposit Of sugar,
and was enthusiastic in his belief that
such coucern as he advocated would
yield large profits, as syrup thus put
up would keep indefinitely in fine con-
dition. But people would not get in
terested.
Mi. Sanford and Mr.. E. w. Kopke,
engineer of the Company, of Chicago,
were in the Farmer office last Friday
They are enthusiastic over the process
of their clarifying process, which is
purely mechanical and requires the
use of no chemical, sulphur or other
material. All foreign substances are
perfectly separated from the juice;
holds nothing in suspension. The ma
chine occupies floor space 4 IL feet
square and IL feet high, is run by
two horse power and will take care OF
the output of 500-ton mill. 1t does
away with all strainers and other ap-
paratus of that kind.
These machines are protected by
patent rights and factory will be
established for their manufacture.
A test is being made of the Central
Tresea. the Hugh Kelly Company, al
Ceiba, Cuba, and on sugar plantations
in Louisiana. While the domicile Of
the company is in Covington the fac
| tory will be somewhere else.
1t is understood that meeting OF
the stockholders will be held at the
Southern, March 81, 1910.

from Covington to Rio, where he ma:

ADOPTS UNIQUE PLAN
FOR SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Athletic Games In New York on Inde-
pendenee Day Will BE Under Aus
pices of Municipality.

NEW YORK, June 17-"Absolutely
the greatest athletic schedule ever
outlined Is the way the modest press
agent refers today to the series or
games that is being arranged for the
FIVE boroughs OF New York, in FUR
therance OF Mayor Gaynor's plan for a
safe and sane Fourth OF July. The
games will be under the auspices OF
the municipality, the first venture OF
this kind the city has made.
From the way the entries are pour
ing in, the press agent might have In
cluded the inter-stellar spaces and still
be within the truth. 1t is expected
that $4,000 athletes will be registered.
The games will be held in IS parks.
nine in Manhattan borough, four In
Brooklyn, three in the Bronx, one in
Queens and one in Richmond (Staten
island). Gold, silver and bronze med
ais will be awarded TO the winners,
the money for which will probably
have to come from a municipal appro-
priation. Mayor Gaynor> has ALI
nounced that he will ask the board OF
estimates for an appropriation If the
money is not raised by public subscrip-
ton. So far there is no sign of the
latter plan developing.
Mayor Gaynor hopes that the sue
cess Of the athletic carnival will prove
that the Fourth of July can still be a
gladstone day even If the fireworks

fishes a record for longevity among
clergymen the country over, but
claims the honor of being the Oldest
active minister Of the gospel of any
denomination in the whole world
When a few years ago he was asked
to prepare little sermon for publica-
ton, he without hesitation sat down
and rapidly wrote in an easy and
graceful hand a transcript OF several
hundred words entitled: Gods Lam
tern" which tells the world that those
who will accept Him and allow His
lantern to shine into their hearts aud
will do from day to day as nature di-
reefs, may likewise live and be useful
and active in the respective businesses
and professions as centenarlans.
In speaking of himself he said: "On
the anniversary OF my hundredth BIRTH
day | preached TO crowded house.
NY voice was strong and clear. and ]
felt as vigorous as did rs years he
fore. when preached my hrst SER
mon. All these years have been an
active public preacher OF the gospel.

in 10 towns and have during these 10
years held six different pastorates In
