LOUISIANA EXPECTS
Rush OF HOnESEFKERS

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Beginning this fall
and winter, there will be without
doubt a rush Of landseekers to South
eIn Louisiana. There are something
over 20,0O0,O0O acres of land, almost
entirely unimproyed, within radius
of Baton Rouge, and in this vast terri,
tory new form of reclamation is
just beginning.
Definite steps to restore the millions
os acres of alluvial wet prairies of
louisiana were taken some years ago,
in is true, but these undertakings did
not begin to attract the attention of
the outside world to any marked de-
gree until this year.
Here and there on the prairies a
farm has been established, most of
them wholly for demonstration pur-
poses, but within a few years it is
likely that the entire country will have
been cut up and subdivided into hign-
ly profitable truck farms and patches
of ten and twenty acres each.
The entire area that is being re-
claimed in Southern Louisiana con-
sists of soil that was piled up by the
Mississippi river during past ages.
The alluvial portion Of the State eX-
tends from New Orleans and the river
westward about half way across the
commonwealth. The soil is a rich,
black. waxy loam-mostly silt-and is
unusually fertile, The climate of this
southern latitude also is such as to
make two or more crops annually pos
sible. The development that is now
b thinning to attract attention is be-
irls furthered mostly by Northern cap
ital.

No HOOKWORM IN
CITY OF JACKSON

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 6.-ff there is a
case of hookworm in Jackson, the rep
resentatives of the State Board of
Health nor any practicing physician
of the city has come in contact with
1t thus far. Scores of persons have
been examined for it, but there is no
evidence of the disease III any of
those tested, and this leads the ply
sicians to believe Jackson is practi-
cally free of this disease.
Physicians have been looking for it.
while DR.. H. B. Wood and DR.. Gully
have been making an investigation,
and, between them, large number of
persons have been examined, but not
single case has been found. DIR.
Wood recently made several examina.
tions in South Mississippi, but he
failed to discover the disease.
From reports received from field
agents at a recent meeting here, in
dications are that about IS per cent
of the total population of Mississippi
is infected, and this makes the show
ing of Jackson all the more remark
able. since DR.. Gully one of the field
agents, has been working with DR..
Wood and other physicians who have
been trying to find case here.

SPANIARDS PLOT
With PORTUGUESE
They Planned a Simultaneous Out
break in Spain And PortugaI.-Pro-
visional Government Formed.
(By Associated PreSo.)

Paris, Oct. 6.-Dispatches from San
Sebastian, Spain, say that the Spanish
government has been aware for some
time that the Spanish republicans
were plotting with the Portuguese re-
publicans for a simultaneous out
break in both countries. 1t is believed
that October 13 the anniversary of
Ferrara's execution, was the date
tentatively chosen for the combined eff
fort.
Finally it became known that Gen.
Weyler was aware of the plot and he
made it understood that any attempt
at a revolution would be mercilessly
crushed. Then the Spaniards gave up
and the Portuguese republicans showed
up the date for their uprising in fear
that some one like Weyler would take
a similar stand in Portugal.

LOCAL SHAREHOLDERS
WOULDN'T come ACRCSS
Their Contracts Read That No M oney
is To Be Paid Until The Transpor-
tation Company Complies With
Terms Of Agreement.

Another chapter to the Hattiesburg
end of the Mississippi Valley Trans
portation Company deal was added
yesterday when John L. Matthews.
secretary of the company, arrived in
this city and attempted to induce To-
cal shareholders of the concern to
pay their stock subscriptions. not
Withstanding the fact that the con-
tracts were made with the express
agreement that the Mississippi Val.
ley Transportation Company would
place Hattiesburg on the Jackson and
Meridian basis of freight rates before
payment of the notes would be de-
manded.
The meeting was held at the Com
mercial Club and the local share
holders of the company were repre-
sented by Messrs. H. A. Camp. S. E..
Travis and T, S. Jackson, while the
Transportation Company was repre-
sented by its Secretary, John L. Mat
thews and an attorney.
It appeared from Mr.. Matthews
statements that the company "Need
ed the money" to pay for some boats
which it claims to have in course of
construction at the present time, and
for defraying the expenses of other
matters in connection with the COM
pany's affairs. Hattiesburg stock
holders were told that the boats are
being built and that they would be put
in operation by April /, next.
But the Hattiesburg stockholders
had been told that before and they
were not to be caught with the same
bait second time. This time they
said I'VE are from Missouri and
would like ito be shown" They have
definite contract with the Transpor-
tation company which provides that
no money is to be paid until the prom
ised rates are made effective: and
while some of them-a majority of
them, perhaps-still have some faith
in the project, and believe that the
boats will finally be placed in the
river, they prefer to adhere to the
original terms of the agreement, and
therefore declined to pay out any more
of their good money until the rates
are in effect.

USING ALL The Pine
TOPS They CAN GET

Gulfport, Miss. Oct. 6.-Among the
visitors to the city are ]. X. Secor, Of
Toledo, o., president of the Yaryan
Naval Stores Company, of this city,
the plant of which is located on Bayou
Bernard, and Joseph Bradley, a direc-
tor in the company, and H. Blair, a
stockholder.
The Yaryan Naval Stores plant has
been in operation less than a year,
and manufactures rosin and turpen-
tine products from pine stumps or
any pine refuse sufficiently fat" to
yield such products.
The gentlemen would not discuss
the future plans of the company, but
it is believed that their visit is not
without significance and in view of
the success which the plant has met
with it is conjectured that it may be
enlarged.
A secret process for extracting the
valuable products from the stumps is
used and when the plant was located
here, although an investment of $780,
900 was made, it was considered as
something of an experiment. The
company has in one way, at least,
proved blessing to this section, and
that is in the removal of pine stumps
from cut-over lands, thus making
them suitble for farming and at very
little cost.
