The Muskrat Trust.

WITH furs more valuable than ever, we find
that muskrat skins which were selling a year
ago at 20 cents to Is cents, are marked down
now by the country buyers to about one-half of
these figures. The muskrat crop of the Gulf
. coast has perhaps turned out to be too good a
thing to be left to the average trapper and the
great fur buyers of the country. who practically
control all the furs of the continent, have only
to join hands and issue their edicts and down
goes the price. We have every reason to be-
]ieve that this has been the case with muskrst
furs.
The fur trade for hundreds of years back,
and especially in the Western Hemisphere, has
been a subject of constant trouble among the
great operators. The Hudson's Bay Co. organ
lied nearly three hundred years ago, was an &C.
tive competitor of an ancestor of the present
Astor family. John Jacob Aston succeeded in
establishing trading posts early in the Nine
teenth Century, reaching all the way across the
continent to Oregon and there, at the mouth of
the Columbia river, the town of Astoria, is
named after him. When the federal union
claimed the Oregon territory, they were opposed
by the Hudson's Bay Co. that occupied Canada
and the Astoria settlement was threatened by
their attacks. We simply refer to these mat
tiers to show that for centuries the fur business
has been a very serious one and with the dimin-
ution in the supply of the high grade furs from
the northern part Of this continent, more atten-
ton now is given to the smaller animals, such
as minks, muskrats, etc. Such furs can be
adapted in the various processes Of manufacture
to the production of very high grade fur cloth
ing and we are led to believe that the present
depression in the prices of muskrat furs comes
about from a combination among the great buy
ers who are way back behind the buyers with
whom our trappers do their trading.
If our trappers can get the skins and have
them taken care of and preserved for four or
five months, they will almost surely find a far
better demand for them than they do now. The
skins are now said to be in excellent condition
and intrinsically worth even more than they
were last year, but the price has been reduced
about one-half. 1t is certainly very possible to
keep muskrat skins in good condition, as that is
done now by these great buyers, and all our peo-
pie need to do is to learn how to do it for them
selves and then later on reap the advantage that
will necessarily come to them when the fur buy
ers must have the furs.

Samuel Douglas MCEnery.

If there ever was a man who could WIN over
to himself the heart Of other men, whether they
had been friendly or unfriendly, that man was
Samuel Douglas Mcinery. His long, contlhu-
Gus and active political career in tins state
has been an open book to every one acquainted
with public affairs here. AS lieutenant COVER
nor, governor, Justice OF the state supreme
court and United States Senator, he filled every
position always faithful to the trust given nm,
faithful to his friends, kind to his opponents and
square with them all. Southern Louisiana and
especially the sugar districts, owe much to Sen
ator McEnery, as he was so broad minded thai
Notwithstanding his sincere democracy ard his
continued adherence to that great political party,
he was willing to consider every issue that came
before him as a public officer on its merits and
regardless of any ear marks that might be given
to it by the claims of conflicting political or Sec
tional parties. The great sugar, rice and lum-
Der industries of Louisiana received his special
consideration and whether or not it pleased the
extremists of any section Of the state, ne did
what he thought was right and always endeav-
ored to sustain these great interests.
In the death of Samuel Douglas McEnery the
state has lost one of it's most loved men and an
effort is now making to secure funds with winch
to erect a monument to his memory in New Or
leans. Mr.. Chas. A. FarWell has been made
chairman of that committee and subscriptions
are solicited from the friends Of Senator Me-
Emery all over the state, and those desiring to
subscribe should send in any sum, no matter
how small. We in P]laquemines Parish should
do the best we can and it is to be hoped that
many of our readers will send in checks for
whatever amount they may be willing to con-
tribute to Mr.. Charles A. Farwell, New Orleans,
Chairman McEnery Monument Committee, the
receipt of which will be acknowledged by HIM
in due course.
