Washington, d. Cotton
seed OIL manufacturers have re

IS SAID that the oil made from

THE ATCHAF ALAYA.

| Before the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Senator Foster urged
| the appropriation of 500, GEO for
Improvements at the mouth of the
Atchafalaya iiver.
Nearly all the members had
some comment to make during the
course of the hearing, and these
remarks were not only very friend
]y to Senator Foster, but indicated
! a kindly feeling as well as toward
the project that he urged When
he concluded the impression in
the committee room was that the
half million dollar appropriation
asked for IN this case would be
granted if possible. The only
cause for doubt seems to rest in
the fact that the amount asked ~
such big Increase for single
item over and above the Rouse es-
Inmates at the time when the par
ty in power is crying for economy
and retrenchment. Further than
this, the amount is all the more
difficult to obtain 10y reason of the
policy recently decided u:;on of
making annual appropriations.
Representatives. Broussard and
Ransdell appeared before the com
mittee last week in connection
with the improvement. They made
preliminary statement, and, at
the request of the committee, for
warded a great deal of data TO be
considered when it begins the
work of formulating the report.
Senator Foster made clear the
reason that the appropriation was
not carried in the House bill was
due to the fact that the report of
the engineers had then not been
received.

SHALL THE ROBINS
Be PROTECTED?

March 2S, 1910.
Is the robin game bird that
should he killed and eaten, or is il
4 valuable insectivOrous bird that
should be protected at all seasons!
THIS is question which the
next General Assembly will have
to solve. and our readers are asked
TO consider its Importance in an
agricultural way.
Or. L. $. Palmer, in charge Of
the Game Conservation division OF
the Biological Survey of the De
partment of Agriculture, in ansW er
TO inquiries from Frank M. Miller,
of the Louisiana Game Commits
sion, quotes an authority who
gives the results Of his observa-
tons at AbbevilIe, La, under date
of February of this year as fol
lows:
81 collected II robins near here
yesterday and got the following
results from an examination Of
their glzzards; s had eaten moth
ing but insects; the other four
had taken respectively 80, so, G5
and 0 percent Of insects and other
invertebrates. The insects include
grasshoppers, bugs, beetles, beetle
Larvae (wire worms and OtheIs), !,
caterpiIlars including cutworms.
On the basis of the Is stomachs
have examined this month, l con-
slder the robin essentially an in

"The shooting Of so beneficial a
bird should Icy no means be allow
ed"
The same authority above quot
ed under date Of Feb. II, from
Long Bridge, La. wrote DR.. Palmer:
81 shot SIX robins today; 4 in
a blackberry tree and 2 OIL the
ground. Three CT these six birds
had eaten insects, lncluding lafVe
Of crane flies which are sometimes
known as leather jackets. These
larvae feed on the roots or grasses,
including grain crops and other
plants and are sometimes quite in.
furious. Each of the three birds
had eaten one or more specimens
Of leaf beetle, plant feeder and
injurious.
These facts bearing the stamp
of the federal government, through
a cOnser yation worker as widely
known as DIR. Palmer, are entitled
to serious consideration by the
farmers and planters Of the State.

LOCAL OPTION FREAK

The Opelousas Clarion has the fol
lowing interesting bit of News for
readers in this neck of the woods:
Mr.. J. Adam Budd, for many years
saloon owner here, but who bought
saloon in New Iberia after prohibi-
ton went into effect in st. Landry, has
returned. and on the first of next month
or perhaps at an earlier date-will
open wholesale house at his old
stand in Opelousas.
Much of bis goods have already ar
rived, and from the quantity of stock
he is putting in, he is sure of his foot
ing.
The claim is that while prohibition
inhlbits the retail of liquors. it does
not it's wholesaling in the original
packages, and wholesaling is placed at
five gallons.
Budd's legal advisers rely on de
cision of the Supreme Court, in the
case of State VS.. Morris, coming on ap-
peal from Shreveport, and the decision
appears plain, to layman at least.
ELECTIONS which result in favor of
preventing the retail ofliquors in par
ishes and districts have never been
considered as measures absolutely pro-
hlblting the sale Of all liquors. regard
less of quantity" says the Supreme
Court. "They have been considered
in the light Of regulation of the re-
tail trade in liquors, and in that light
they have received judicial sanction"
O]Again the Court says: "There is no
law prohibiting the sale Of liquor by
wholesale. As long as the sales of
liquor at wholesale are not 1egislated
against, they may be sold."

American Aviator at Seattle.

Seattle, March with the an

ton, the daredevil American aviator,
that he will fly against his own rec
ords and those made by Paulhan and
Farman, under the auspices of the
Western Washington Fair association
at Seattle and will appear absolute
ly nowhere else in the state of Wash
ington, the coming meet of the bird
men, scheduled for March ~, 10 and
IA, takes on much more than local
interest.
Railroad and steamboat compan-
les have already had representatives
in conference with the Fair associa-
ton management and low rates from
all points within reasonable distance
of Seattle will be announced within
a few days. 1t is thought probable
that a fare and a third will be the
prevailing rate for at least four days
beginning March IL, which will per-
NIT attendance of the thousands in
all parts of the Northwest whose
curiosity and interest have been
aroused by the startling feats per-
formed at Los Angeles and other
cities.
This bird business is unquestion-
ably the most sensational spectacle
ever witnessed. Wherever the fly
ers have appeared immense crowds
have watched their feats of daring
and from no city has come a report
of disappointment. Hamilton de-
clares that If the meeting here is held
at the Meadows, south of the city,
he will make the flight to Mount
Rainier and back. If the events are
held on the associations grounds in
town he will make the shorter, but
more dangerous, flight across Lake
Washington. To encourage amateur
participation a prize of 1000 is Of

JNDER GOVERNMENT OKANO-
GAN project. Located on state
road between Riverside and Omak.
Land is level, with gentle slope.
Good domestic water can be OBJ
tanned by gravity system at from
$50 to $50 per acre less than in
some other localities. Land is two
miles from Riverside, two miles
from station below on G. N. r. R.
and 80 rods from survey of Okano-
gan Electric Co. This survey has
been completed to Spokane and in
all probability work will COM
mence on this road with the open
ing of spring. Water for irrigat-
ing this land will be piped and
will have a SO #. pressure, so that
fountain sprinklers can be used in
lawns. Land commands a grand
view far into British Columbia and
of surrounding country This land
is on bench in bend of Okanogan
river in direct line with Omak
pass, which gives a cool, gentle
breeze at all times in summer. The
many attractive features in con-
nection with this land makes it
one of the most desirable for a
home under the project. Will sell
in 10, 20 or 40 acre tracts. For
