adopt the Roosevelt policy Of getting rid of his
visitors, because the two men are constitutionally
different in at least one respect. 1t must be said,
however, that the Roosevelt plan Of receiving
guests has done a good deal to save the tempers
of White House visitors and the time Of Mr..
Taft.
AS everybody knows, an addition was made
to the White House offices some time ago. In
the Roosevelt days callers went into the cabinet
room and from there either were ushered into
the adjoining room, where the president sat,
or waited while Mr.. Roosevelt came out and
made a circuit Of the cabinet room, speaking to
one caller after another and getting through with
his work quickly and yet without giving offense.
Now President Taft has a circular room all
to himself, and while the visitors are allowed the
two big rooms outside, it is from these rooms
they find there way to the presidents presence,
being let in eight or ten at a time, and not one
at a time, as was the case when Mr.. Taft first
took office.
The president has adopted the Roosevelt
method of passing from visitor to visitor learn
ing the wants of each and trying as best he can
to suit each caller and to get rid of him as quick
ly as courtesy will permit. President Taft, how
ever, is SO good natured and is so humanity inter-

ect in Glenn County Prom
ises to Be Successful

Armstrong, Quatman & Co. as agents
Tor government irrigated lands at Or
land, Glenn county, report that they
nave sold several thousands of acres
OF these lands in the last year. They
are at work on subdivision No. is.
which, they say. will be entirely sold
out by July l. Weekend excursions
take inquirers to the lands and many
sales result from inspection of the
property. The following is reported by
Armstrong, Quatman & Co.:
While the Orland irrigation project
is the smallest undertaking. of the
United States reclamation service, il is
nevertheless one of great possibilities
for the area to be irrigated, about 15,-
600 acres, lies in the great central val
ley of California, which presents the
greatest possibilities for development
through irrigation TO be found in ARID
America, if not in the world The chief
value of the project will consist in the
demonstration to the land owners OF
this valley of the unparalleled advant-
age arising from a well conducted trri-
cation system.
In 1905 the secretary of the interior
apportiOned the sum of s650.O00 for
this project upon certain conditions.
one of which was that the land should
be bonded to be sold and held in tracts
of 40 acres or less. These conditions
were fulfilled, the appropriation was
made permanent and the work of con-
stTuction was begun. OF the amount
apportioned, the government uses so
much as may be required to construct
the necessary dams, bitches and lat
erals and allows the settlers to pay
their proportion of the cost in 10 equal
annual installments, without interest -

WEST CLAY PARK
Open TO PUBLIC
New Residence District Affords
View of Golden Gate, the
Ocean and Mountains

A noteworthy event in real estate
circles is the announcement made of
the opening of West Clay park, situ-
ated on Lake street between Twenty
second and Twenty fourth avenues, and
running to the Preside fence.
Although there are only so lots in
the property, the sale is important by
reason of the fact that it is an excep-
tion in the manner of development and
sale.
The land in question was formerly
known as the Bunker property and was
always prominently attractive by rea-
son of the magnificent views obtain
able. These views comprise a close
vista of the world famous Golden gate
and the Pacific ocean, as well as
Bakers beach and the hills and noun
tains on the opposite side of the
gate.
Realizing the great natural advan-
tages. much painstaking effort and ex-
pense have been expended in develop
ing the land.
In a general way the lots are laid
out into three terraces. From each of
these terraces magnificent views may
be obtained, and future building oper-
ations on the lower terrace wifi not in
any way affect the views of the ter
races above 1t.
III OrQer TO make the property eX-
tremely attractive, curved streets have
been laid out in place of the ordinary
straight ones. These streets are of
asphalt Stone sidewalks have been
laid, sewer, gas and water mains run
not only into the streets, but to the
curb line, which will prevent the tear
ing UP of the streets for public utili-
ties.
In order to do away with unsightly
poles and realizing that they mar the
beauty of residence property, the tele-
phone and electric light wires have
all been placed in conduits under
ground.
Lawns, trees and shrubs have been
planted and provision made for their
upkeep in the park. The lots are
large, both in width and in depth
many of them being 40 feet in width
Three fine residences have been started
The style of these places is such as to
give character to the remaining lots
This is the first strictly residence

This afternoon and tomorrow after
noon the Centenary College team will
play the Ruston Industrial Institute oy

strong team, the contests will no doubt
prove very interesting.

from Ruston hustle to win from them.
The lineup will be: Mercer, first base !;
Baird, second base; Willis, short stop !;
Johnson, third base; Wyche, right field !;

there is a good attendance they will be
unable to bring any more teams here.
The games start promptly at 4 o'clock.

AND HE DID
What Has He Gained by Knocking
Shreveport?

The Caucasian has been presented
with a circular picked from the streets
of Marshall, Texas, last Friday when a
number of citizens were III that town to
refute ISLANDERS against this community.
The circular OR handbill is signed by
S. B. Simon, 'tfe man who sells the
earth" 1t is surprising to think that a
citizen as conservative as is Mr. Simon
should have ventured into statements
not only exaggerated but ridiculous, =,
This handbill is addressed to F. J. Pen
mock, Houston, Texas.
Pennock is a representative of the
breweries.
In this circular Simon bewails the
condition in Shreveport Abbreviated
or condensed into few words Simon's
plant is that the town is going to shoel
for want of saloons. A remarkable
feature of this publication is his dec1ara-
ton that he never indulges in a drink
He expresses much sympathy for the
travelling men who no longer come to
Shreveport because the saloons are
closed. He tells of the poor working
men from the oil fields who go else
where than Shreveport for their amuse-
nent, which by inference may be defined
as getting boozed tip, He says in his
circular that these men from the oil
fields went to Texarkana presumably to
fill up, but where will the oilers go now
since Texarkana is dry?
And this is another case when Simon,
as Nolen, did not think the writings
would be turned against him.
We are sorry for our young friend
Simon. He. as others misguided. in
zeal, believes the town is going to shoel
for want of saloons. If saloons were
stimulators of business and were neces-
sary to the progress of any town, they
would be regarded as blessings instead
of curses, and they would be welcomed
two or three in each block.
Our friend Simon has been misled,
but he has now an opportunity of com
ing forward and asking forgiveness. He
did not mean it just that way, of course
not, his confidence was abused" per
haps.
We would venture this advice: In
stead of worrying over the saloons the
travelling men ana the oil men and the
poor old man vino can not get drink,
let him, stick to his selling the earth He
viii find this occupation more congenial
TO his inclination and more profitable to
his pocket.
