he has manifested by his presence
and work as instructor.
Second: That since the ruling
Of the Territorial Board Of Edu
cation is such that our pleasant
days with Mrs. Brumback as
conductor are over, we wish her
continued success and feel that
our debt to her is so great it can
be but roughly estimated. In the
inspiration she has given, the
kindly words to the timid, the
ever pointing to the broader view
for all these we are for ever in
debted to her. And as token of
our regards for her we will take
her model teacher as our ideal
towards making a model school.
Third: That our instructor,
Mrs. Leona Logue has been a
revelation to us in the field of
literature, that we do assure her
that we have surely enjoyed her
beautiful thoughts and her open

Fifth: That we organize a

most convenient, but should one
be unable to so attend, he may
send a manuscript showing that
the work is being hept up. Each
district report to the chairman of
the county organization 50 that
the unity will not be broken.
Then at our county meeting we
can discuss the work already
accomplished and plan ways and
means for more effective work
Sixth. On account Of a place
of relaxation, the growing in

the high grade talent, we ask
our superintendent to give US a

To the home Of Major Daniel Norton, 4

full young girl of whose antecedents little

closure is made. The evil of mixed

rears its ugly head in his own home,
The situation presented is daring in the
extreme. but handled without offense.
How the Major and his son met the situa-

will be seen in this city on Thursday,

The subject of THE Sins of the Father"

TO SEE THE CITY.
Fourteen-Year-old Boy Makes a Seventy
Mile Tramp from Burnside to New
orleans-Had Never Been on
a Railroad Train
New Orleans Daily states, Dec. 80.

Gillet Griffin. a fourteen-year-old boy,
who says he is a "Cagin' and whose home
is five miles from Burnside, walked sew
enty miles in one day to New Orleans just
to ''see where the trains went, to use his
own words. The boy was picked up Tues
day night at Canal and Royal streets at
1890 o'clock by Officers Joe Roach
and George Gleason. He was in com
plete stage of bewiderment. as he had
never seen street car, an automobile or
an electric light, and had never been on a
train or seen the inside of a schoolhouse.
The boy lives on plantation, and was
accustomed to make frequent trips to the
hamlet of Burnside He used to wonder
where the trains went. and last Tuesday
decided to find out. He had heard of
New Orleans and wanted to see the big
city He had no idea it was so far, but,
with grim determination. stuck to the
railroad tracks and finally beheld the
lights of the city. He followed the crowds
and was soon at Canal and Royal drink
ing in the sights.
1t was all wonderful to him, and as he
gazed in awe and admiration on the
passing throngs, the whirling automo-
biles, the street cars. the tall buildings
and other sights entirely foreign to him.
he naturally attracted the attention of
the officers.
He did not even know they were po-
licemen. bat followed them with child
like simplicity to the Juvenile Court
building, where he was given bed for
the night and was supplied with good
supper and breakfast the next day. 1t
was with difficulty that Judge Andrew
Wilson and Supt Thomas Agnew, of the
S. P. C. c.. learned the boys story, as he
informed them that he only spoke "Cagin.
1t was learned that his father. John
Griffin, is a farmer on the Miles planta-
ton. Amadee Gaudet, local agent of
the Miles Company, telephoned to DIR.
Miles. who requested that the boy be re-
turned home.
Elmer Hunt who is connected with
the Miles plantation, happened to be MAX
ing journey to Burnside and acted as
guardian of the boy on his return trip
Thursday night He spent his time in the
city at the home of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children and in
the few days he was in the city was
awed by the sights his eyes were unac-
customed to.
His first ride in street car was the
treat of his life, but when be saw the
airships it was all toe wonderful and he
expressed desire to return to his coun-
try home. He was escorted to the sta
ton by Officer "Dick" Coleman. and
placed in charge of Mr. Hunt. He left
the city anxious to go home, but delighted
with his pilgrimage.

The Baeasse Drying Experiment.

Some months ago,a narration and de-
scription of the bagasse drying apparatus.
as was to be xperimentally tried on Palo
Alto plantation, exclusively appeared in
these columns. Then it was told how Pro-
fessor E. w. Kerr, head of the engineering
department of the Louisiana State Uni
versity, had designed and built bagasse
drying apparatus for operation at the
Lemanns' Palo Alto central, in Ascension,
whereby he hoped to find that the utili-
cation of the waste heat going out of the
furnace stacks could be proftably en-
ployed to dry bagasse preliminary to its
burning in the furnaces.
Concerning the result of the experiment,
at which Prof Kerr closely worked for
several months at Palo Alto. it is learned
through a Baton Rouge despatch to the
press, under date of Dec 20, that in the
light of the data obtained it appears there
are great possibilities for bagasse drying
to be proftably conducted at Louisiana
sugarhouses, for according to the expressed
views of the experimenter, with his dry
ing machine he states that he has been
able to remove approximately 80 to IS per
cent of the moisture of the bagasse.
This finding was accompanied by ex-
haustive boiler tests to determine what
increased evaporative power rests with
the dried bagasse over and above that
GOT from green bagasse as fed to the
furnace direct from the mill, and the
greater fuel value of the dried bagasse
was ascertained to be distinct and quite
worth while.
Detailed report from Prof. Kerr viii be
awaited with great interest by the sugar
planters at large. who have already
profited much by his sugarhouse engi-
neerine investigations in behalf of the
industry Modern Sugar Planter.

NEW CANADIAN POLICY
Need Cause No Fear of Pulp Wood
Shortage Says Willrich.

Washington, Aug. S.-Despite the
policy Of the government of the prov
ince of Quebec of Canada, prohibiting
the importation of pulpWood cut on
crown lands subsequent to May l, 1910,
there need be no apprehension of a
pulp wood shortage in that province
for the American market. according
to a report from Gerhard Willrich,
American consul general at Quebec.
Competent authorities say" reports
Mr.. Willrich, that only about Is per
cent of all the pulpwood cut in this
province was cut on crown LANDS. rms
percentage, while not considerable, was
sufficient to to prevent the sale at FAIR
prices of large quantities of such wood
cut on private lands, which has ac-
cumulated in large quantities. Despite
the new policy of the government the
market for pulp wood has been poor.
The report further shows that the sec
ond largest article of export from
Quebec in 1909 was woodpulp, repre-
senting a value of nearly $l,ooO,ooo.
The value in 1909 was $949,549. an in
crease in two years of over 100 per
cent
The exports of the product to Great
Britain in 1909 amounted to $S47,l76.
to France $S2,2l3, and to the United
States $4,000. a decrease from $3S.1oo
in 1908.
In contrast to the foregoing figures
are the export figures for pulpwood.
all of which is taken by the United
States because it's bulk prevents ex-
portation across the ocean. In 1908
there were exported by water to the
United states 3O.479 cords. valued at
s197, 662 in 1909. S0,7S1 cords, valued
at $625,S27. Exports declared at this
consulate Of pulpwood by water as
well as by rail show a value of $685.,
1S6 during 1908, and of $1.1S0,029 in
1909 making an increase of $543,S43
for last year
