WHAT STOWE & PALMER
SAY OF WEEKS BUSINESS

Stowe e Palmer. In their realty and
business review of the week, say:
THE winter season. with its expected
bad weather, Is generally supposed to
be coincident with dull real estate
market. In this particular January,
while sales have been comparatively few.
the Inquiry for all classes OF property
has been unusually large. From one
coast to the other, the tendency of in
vestors Is toward land, either in city
or country. and Salt Lake is looked up
on with high favor. A feature OF inter-
est has been the demand for trackage
property. This comes from new firms
just entering Salt Lake and from old
established institutions who find the
need for expansion OF their facilities.
The character Of this demand shows the
solid character Of the business situation
and OF the real estate market.
Another advance In prices has taken
place on Federal Heights lots. In about
three months there will be still another
Increase, brought about by the building
developments and by the sale OF the
lots Indications are that the tract Will
be all sold out before the end OF the
current year. The steady enhancement
of values has tended To Increase spccu-
lative buying. although the owners OF
the tract arc seeking to discourage this
class OF purchasers. favoring those who
will build homes. The number Of beau
tiful homes built or being built on the
shows the wisdom Of this pol

A PRISON SCENE
Related by Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth
and Her Impressions.

New Orleans Picayune March 80:
Mrs. Maud Darlington Booth has been
writing of her impressions of different
prisons she has visited. The following
account will be interesting to people of
Louisiana. She says:
eve must travel far and fast on this
last journey, and find ourselves at
length in beautiful Louisiana. The sun
shines down warmly upon us. Friend
1y inquisitive mocking birds watch us
from the bushes. Gray, trailing moss
wreathes the fine live oak trees. We
have taken the road that runs from
Baton Rouge to the river bank. Ar
rived at last at our destination, we leave
the carriage and climb to the top of the
steep levee What new, strange sight
meets our gael Is it a giant anthill,
with battalions of those active little
workers to whom the sluggard was adj
vised by wise King Solomon togo for
an example? No! This is levee camp
of Louisiana prisoners working on that
important CONSTITUTIONAL work that
keeps the great Mississippi within its
bounds. Here are the mighty earth
works being built, and from base to
summit, long, numberless plank walks
supported by a scaffoldlike structure
Among these planks move, with the
precision and order of a drilled army
corps, several hundred men dressed in
striped clothing, wheeling full and
empty wheelbarrows. It is an active
scene, but in moment, at the word of
command, it is halted and changed
Wheelbarrows and other implements
are abandoned. The men quickly con-
gregate, and as they perch themselves
on the trestles and planks We take our
positions below them and look UP at the
wall of beaming faces. We receive a
right royal welcome from the league at
the levee camp, and it appears that al
most every man is wearing the little
button of membership. Songs and pray
ers and heart-to-heart talk in the good
free air by the banks of the great river
that CLEANS free in the sunshine, form
a pleasing contrast to the meetings
within the shadow of prison walls

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
says: According to information that has
reached several members of the State
Board of Equalization an effort will be
made during the coming session of the
Legislature TO wipe out the Board Of
Equalization or materially change the
laws in regard to the board. Tom
Gymb who represents the Sixth Dis
trict On the board, was IN the city to-

day. Mt. G1ynn does not think that
the board wi 1lbe legislated out of ex-
istenee by the assembly. Some changes
in the law, which experience has taught
can be made with good effect, will
probably be among the changes made
in the law, but Mr.. Glynn does not an
ticipate any such drastic legislation as
is rumored. The Board of Equalization,
however, was the target for some of
the members of the Legislature two
years ago, and there is every reason to
believe that this attack will be renewed.

COLONEL Balm COMING
Head of Peanut Factory Will Be in
Ruston Tomorrow or Friday.

Ruston Leader March 30: Mr.. o. NJ
Wright has just received a letter from
Mi. Frank F. Balm, president of the
Balm Peanut Factory, of Wakefield
Va who is now in Shreveport, in which
he writes that he will be in Rustoa to-
morrow or Friday and would like to
meet with and confer with the promi-
nent and progressive men Of this city
and parish.
Colonel Balm is in Louisiana for the
purpose of selecting site for a pea
nut factory to be built by his company
somewhere in North Louisiana. Sew
eral places, besides Ruston, are anxious
to secure this factory, among which
Shreveport is not the least. In Shreve-
port yesterday Colonel Balm was shown
sites in that city and in Bossier City
and the people Of Shreveport appear
sanguine that they will ge the factory.
Ruston also has a good fighting
chance to secure this. factory. For a
while Shreveport had corner on us
on account af freight rates, but now,
under the nsN rates established by the
railroads, Ruston has just as good rates
as that city, with two good roads offer
ing assistance.
We hope that quite number of our
business men will meet with Colonel
Balm when he comes here, and show
him the advantages Of placing his fac
tory in Ruston-right in the hub of the
peanut growing section.
