convicts are discharged they be

A much better way as the Gov

them at work on the highways.
building up roads which the State
is sadly in need and Of which the
entire people will benefit.
These farms should be subdivid-
ed into small tracts and sold on
long time payments. In fact a
move should be made to settle
colonies on these lands as rapidly
as possible.

FRISCO BRIDGE NEAR 10.
REAUVILLE WILL NOT
BE INTERPRETED WITH.

With regard to the information
received by Col. Lansing II. Beach
head of the loca, United States
Engineer office. to the effect
that the New iberia and Northern
Railroad, a branch of the Frisco
system, had violated the naviga-
ton laws by erecting a bridge
over Bayou Teche at Loreauville,
La, Col. Beach stated Thursday
morning that he had communicate
ed Wednesday evening with Mr..
j. R. Lockwood, general superin-
tendent of the New Iberia and
Northern Railroad.
Col. Beach stated that Mr.. Lock
wood explained that the road had
applied to the War Department
for the privilege and although
they had not yet received author
ity, the fact that the application
was fled caused the officials of
the road to believe they had a
right to go ahead with the work.
Col. Beach said he learned from
Mr.. Lockwood that for the past
several months, and up to a short
time ago, the road had erected a
jack-knife opening, a sort of rails
ing-bridge and that they had de-
cided to put in a steel swinging
bridge. on which work is progress
ing. Col. Beach said that it will
take longer to take the, bridge
away than it will to complete it,
and for that reason, he told Mr..
Lockwood that the company could
proceed with the finishing touch
es, so as not to hold up navigation
too long, but that this would not
absolve them from criminality in
the event the government decides
to prosecute the road. Col. Beach

SENATOR PROVOST AFTER
TIMBER THIEVES.

Baton Rouge, May Ex-senator
Provost of Iberia has introduced
three bills in an effort to put a
stop to timber thievery.
"Our present laws on the sub
ject are defective" said the Sen
ator. "Few peop.e can conceive
how much timber stealing goes on
and we find difficulty in protect
ing ourselves or convicting those
we bring into court.
"The lumbermen have had to
organize an association in an eff
fort to put a stop to the crooked
ness. Ny bills have the support
Of all the lumbermen.
1--WE found it necessary to pre-
pare three bills. One requires the
seller to give a written affidavit
when he disposes Of single sticks
cribs or RATS in the bayous or
streams or woods or at the saw
mil that he owns the timber or
has paid for il; one prohibits the
crime Of stealing timber and
makes lack of knowledge Of
boundary lines no defense. and
the third affects false affidavits. I"

LOUISIANA FARM LANDS
CONGRESS.

Mr.. E. J. Carstens of this City
was made one Of the Vice Pres
idents of the Farm Lands Con-
gress that held lis first session a.

since. The subjoined letter IS be
inc sent to The different officers

duce herewith.
,, Shreveport. La. May o,'10.
Mr.. z. !. Carstens. New Iberia. La.
Possibly you have noted
trough the newspapers that You
have been made Nice-PreSfdeni
from your Parish. of the Louisiana
Farm Lands Congress. The Com
mittee in selecting the Vice-Presi-
dents used their best judgment to
get men who were influential and
upon whom the Congress could
rely to support it in their great
movement of advertising the re
sources of Louisiana in the North
west and by such methods TO
turn immigration Southwark.
1t is hoped fhat the Police Ju-
ries, City Councils, and other bod
les. will respond most heartily to
entreaties. and that each Vice
President will be able to report a
agreed to do as much for us as
good large sum from his Parish
to carry on this work. The rail
roads have joined us and have
they did for Texas. Will you
please take the matter up with
your prominent citizens. with
your Police Juries and other in
terested bodies, and secure from
them as large a donation as they
feel they can make.
I understand that last month the
State of Arkansas by this method
raised $4,000 and hope that Lou
isiana with its sixty Parishes and
large landed interests. will double
this sum. No specific sum is
asked from any Parish. but by
appealing to them through our
ce-Presidents to help us all
they can, there is no doubt but
that they will respond, generous
ly, and a few cents per acre from
each Parish properly used by our
Executive Committee will add as
many dollars per acre to the
value in that Parish.
| will therefore thank you to
take the matter up with the news
papers within your Parish. and get
them to join in this agitation
Should you feel that outside help
will be advantageous with your
Police Jury. let me know date OF
their meeting. with name and ad.
dress Of it's President. and / will
get some member of the executive
committee to be on hand and aid
you in explaining the purposes and
needs of this Congress.
Should you need any addition
al information, or should | be OF
assistance to you in any way, ]
am at your service"

TO DESTROY HYACINTHS IN
SPANISH LAKE.

Col. Lansing II. Beach, Corps OF
Engineers. U. S. A., has notified
authorizes at New iberia that the
steamboat Haycinth, which is used
specially for the purpose Of des-
troying water hyacinths. will go
into Spanish Lake Monday and
begin work in an effort to rid
that body Of water of hyacinths.
The United States engineers will
be assisted in the work by the
Iberia Spanish Lake Club, an or
ganization that is interested in
having the hyacnths removed and
which has rendered it's assistance.
Col. Beach says that the plants
have grown so thick in some por-
tons of the lake that willow
trees of considerable size are
growing from the floating islands
produced by the lilies. The
hyacinths are destroyed by a
chemical solution consisting main
ly of arsenic of soda or arsenite

( PersecVtn excessive taxation,
excessive 49, atition and nominal
penalties Vompel the saloon
keeper in Hsht for existence
to do thine MA. sre wrong, hut
it is A cre' Rstal1e to suppose
that brewers, Aistillers. wholesale
or retail liquor dealers favor law
violation or that they would not
welcome a law abolishing such
practices.
I ask your consideration. there
fore. of what are known as MNiel
license provisions and should they
appeal TO YOU urge that Your in
fluence be employed to engraft
them into your liquor ordinances
We recommend:
First-That all licenses must be
renewed so long as the holder is
not convinced the second time OF
the violation of law and the bus
mess is not prohibited by vote
f the people.
Second-The licenses issued in
the future shall not be in
excess Of one license for each five
hundred of population.
Third-That the license shall
be reasonable. fair and just an
not represent penalty.
Fourth-That for the first con
victron by a jury of the violation
of law the license shall be sus-
pended for thirty days and the
place closed for that period; and
for the second like conviction the
license shall be cancelled, and the
holder never again licensed to re
tail liquors in that city.
The permanent license will re
move the saloonkeeper from pol
tiles, for the political boss could
no longer cancel his right to do
business; it would be valuable
asset and especially if limited in
number as suggested, and the
holder Of such a license would
hesitate hing time before he
would invite its destruction by
violating a law.
The mandatory penalty which
no judge could set aside would
do away with the farce of mini
mized penalties which are general
ly imposed and which are merely
an invitation to further disobed-
fence.
Under most of our license laws
the profits incident to the viola
ton Of law are so great as com
pared with the penalties imposed
that the one thought of the sa-
.oonkeeper in his fierce struggle
for existence is to get around the
law, but under Model License the
saloonk&per's one thought would
be to obey law.
Saloonkeepers, like bankers
merchants, manufacturers, rail-
way companies. oil magnates and
men in general will violate law
if it pays and if the penalties are
small. but no man will violate law
if he knows it will not pay.
The National Model License
League has but one purpose and
that is tobring about the adop-
ton of license laws under which
the liquor trade will not be
tempted or compelled to violate
law. and in submitting our ideas
to you we indulge the hope that
you will give them your favorable
consideration and join with us in
urging their adoption.

Ancient Snuff Habi. Revived in Salt LAX.

The snuff habit in Salt Lake is get
ting a strong hold, according to the
statements of cigar ahd tobacco dealers,
and there is AN increasing use of the
compound. This is apparently confin.
ed to the foreign population, however
and the sale is larger in the parts of the
city where foreigners live, says the Re-
publican.
1t is stated that there it almost no de-
mand for the Scotch or McAyoy snuff,
such rs vas used by the gentry for
snutfiDg purposes, but most of the snuff
sold is of the Copenhagen variety,
which is used by the Firms and Swedes
at the big smelters and mines for chew.
ing purposes. The increase therefore,
is claimed to he due to the increase of
the number of people of this sort i'm the
locality.
REPORTS from. the smelter towns indi-
cate an alarming increase in the use of
the compound especially for snuffing
purposes, and this has become SO great
as 10 indicate almost Il revival of the
ancient custom. 1t is reported on, Sosd
ts In Within the past two years has
been fully 40 per cent, and retail deal
ers say that the increase has been es-
pecially noticeable since the govern
ment placed the ban on the sale of
