OF NOTI, By Mr..
PROVOST ON SENATE. BILL.
NO by. MIR. VOEGTLE.

Reasons of Senator Provost for vot-
ing against the proposed amcndment
to the State Constitution providing fOl
the lcvying of Il IS of a mill tax on all
SIDE Of the city Of New Orleans and q
6 ofa mill tax on asscssablc property
in the City of New Orleans,
| cannot conscicntiously cast my
vote for this measure do not believe
the tax is Just. did not believe il
equitable. The benefits to be derived
by the City of New Orleans as com
pared with those derived thcrcirom
by the country is certainly far from
the ratio Of two to one. Why should
the country pay one half the tax paid
by New Orleans, when the city will
reap all the benefits from this enter
prise? certainly am adverse to this
proposition for this reason, if none
other.
! am in favor of the State of Louis
lana voting an appropriation for a
magnificent State building to be con
structed on the exposition site, as did
Illinois to the Chicago Exposition and
Missouri to the st. Louis, but ] want
no unjnst taxation.
Another reason is that my constitu
ents are against this proposed tax
They do not want its imposition and
have asked me to vote against the
submission of this proposed amend
mcnt.
would like to see New Orleans get
the exposition. l believe it is the log
lcal point.
l do not think, though. that the
should contribute the tax
by this amendment. Let
the wealthy men of New Orleans sub
scribe more literally to the exposition
fund and let New Orleans be taxed
therefor. and the five millions will be
raised. Ivote no.
The above is the record appearing
IN the "Olhcial Journal of the Senate

DEMONSTRATION TRAIN


A conference was recently held at
Baton Rouge between j. Il lallande
Of the Southern Pacific system and hi
rector llods0n Of the State experiment
stations to arrange ior the operation of
4 demonstration train over the South
crn Pacific lines in Louisiana during
thc early part Of tho coming October.
The southern Pacific Company opcr-
ates such trains ~ the Northwest, but
h%s never attempted such an cxhibf-
tiur on IT'S Louisiana lines.
The tram will consist of sleeper, n
dining car, 4 car specially prepared
Tor carrying cattle, with platform for
thctr exhibition. while the lecturer
sails attention 10 each animal exhibit

exhibit the various cereals and Other
products, such ~ dairy, truck and

Southern Pacific lines, where the pco-
plc mly assemble and several days

OF The state. Wherever hall is avail
able there Mill bc illustrated lectures
on subjects pertaining to agriculture
aud animal hushandry, and the direc-
tor OF experiment stations has promis-
"a the COMPANY Il full corps Of lcctur-
ets during the trip.
The move is promoted by the South
err Pacific tCmpany for the reason
that il believes THAT demonstrations
mad, 10 the agr.culturists OF the sec
tlulis through which il operates will
bring better results than any other
source vi instruction, and the work Of
the state experiment stations and the
Department of Agriculture aill he
brought closer to the people in this
way. The principal complaint AGAINST
thc agricultural stations up to this
time has been that they have not been
brought near enough TO the masses,
which they are intended to benefit.
and tie lack Of means for the dissent

State farms.
The Frisco system operates such a
demonstration car on It's lines, and the
adoption Of Tie plan by the Southern

which IS appreciated by those who are
promoting agriculture in this State.

THE WEATHER.

A good story by clever writer
was called, Her infinite varie.
ty.' Whoever the pronoun referred
to, if put in competition with the
weather OF the past week for infinite
variety, could hardly have hoped to
have creditably maintained second
place. 1t has been warm enough to
make us seek our linens, followed
closely by temperatures that made us
dig our winter wraps from the cedar
chests. Sunshine and rain have en-
braced. Lightning. thunder. wind
and hail have decended from innocent
looking skies. Dust and mud have
prevailed in the same hour.
Whether all this disturbance is an
evidence OF sympathy of this terrestri-
al ball for the comet in the loss Of its
tail we are unable to say. but most OF
us are disposed to charge it up to the
influence of the space wanderer.

The AWFUL
KITCHEN FLUE.
rs Neglect is a Greater Men
ace than the Oil Can or
the Electric Wire.

The City Council Of Baton
Rouge Will take up in the near fu
ture the matter Of providing for
the creation of a new official in
the person of "A salaried inspector
of buildings, waterworks, electric
wiring and other public commodi-
ties, and il il probable that these
duties will be added to the present
duties Of the chiet Of the fire de-
partment, who is serving in that
capacity without remuneration.
Chief Hugh Waddill, the pres
ent chef of the fire department,
complained some time ago to the
council that most Of the fires the
department was called upon to ex-
tinsuish were caused by defective
lues ant the total disregard Of
tile fire ordinances. The council
authorized that official to make an
inspection Of the tlues in the city
with the result that some five
hundred violations of the ordin-
ances were discovered and correct
ed. This work was commenced
by the State fire marshal IN his
annual report to the General AS
scmbly, and he urged that the
councis Of all the cities III the
state take the same steps IN re.
gard 10 the removal Of this class
of mcnaces TO property from fire.
The chief has also made exami-
nations into the conditions exist
ing in public buildings and places
Of amusement aud made reports OF
his findings to the city officials
There are already inspectors OF
the various public commodities
who are serving without pay but
there is a marked desire on part Of
councilmen and the people
to combine the inspections under

of this mill has made the improve

THINKS COLORADO APPLE CROP
FOR 1909 UNDERESTIMATED

That the apple crop of Colorado
for 1909 has been badly under es-
timated by all writers who made
guesses on the subject is the opin-
ion OF President George Richard
son of the Colorado Horticultural
society.
IL have every reason to be
lieve that 10000 cars OF apples
would scarcely cover the product
of the state for the year" said Mr..
Richardson yesterday. The

carload lots should not be forgot

Last night was gala occasion
with the members OF Paonia lodge.

number OF their invited brot hers
from surrounding towns. About
thirty members of the Delta
lodge came up to put on the work
OF the first degree, and FIVE candi-
dates for the Three Links were
put through their PAGES in the
most impressive and beautiful
work ever seen in the lodge room
here. All the visitors and men,
bers OF the home lodge were
deeply impressed with the work
OF the Delta members.
AT the close of the lodge work,
which was at late hour because
the work was delayed by reason
OF the up tain being two hours
late last evening. a splendid BAN
quet was served. and the festivi-
ties lasted until an early hour this
morning. Nearly all the visitors
left for their homes this morning.

SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

A pleasant surprise was in store
for Mr.. and Mrs. T. II. Lewis on
Friday evening of last week, when
they accepted an invitation to
spend an hour at the home of A.
II. Underhill and family. Alter
a little chat, they we're blindfolded
while a center table spread with
handsome pieces of sterling silver
from brothers. sisters. children
and friends. was brought in and

full cars from both Eastern and
Western Slopes, and | believe l
am safe in saying that the smaller
shipments would bring the total
up to 10000 cars"
Up to the time OF the apple
show an estimate cf less than
5000 cars was accepted for the
state. The statistics compiled by
Better Fruit, the Oregon publica-
ton which is a sort of national
authority, showed that Coloaado
had $500 cars, has raised more
apples than all the other states in
the west combined. This was re-
garded as such a remarkable con-
cession on the part of the north
western publication that it must
be reasonably correct. But il
now appears that Better Fruit, al
though 1t doubtless tried to be
correct. did not tell nearly the
whole story.
A careful investigation at the
apple show OF the crops of all the
fruit districts of the state re-
vealed the fact that all previous
estimates were too low. Richard
son has asked the government to
investigate the apple crop of the
state for the year. and believes
that final statistics will be even
more startling than those now
available
