Alexandria, La.
Editor Gibsland News,
Dear Madam: I have noticed
several publications in the last
few weeks, which tend to impune
good intentions, and honest pur
poses of Congressman Watkins,
and are calculated to mislead the
unthoughtful, and those perhaps
who do not know Mr.. Watkins as
/ do. I want to say that | have
been pretty closely associated
with the Watkins family socially
for more than twenty five years.
| knew John Watkins father we'll,
and he had the confidence of all
good people, both white and black,
in fact he was distinguished for
his high sense Of honor, and firm
devotion to the truth and right.
His boys are just like him in this
respect, and there are not enough
people in the fourth district to
convince me that John Watkins
has ever swerved from what he
consciensiously believed to be his
duty.
It has been my fondest dream
for years tc have John 7. Watkins
for our Governor, but it seems that
the people of the fourth district
lay first claim to his valuable ser.
vices, and 1 have not yet realized
my hopes in this, but believe that
he combines the qualities that this
State needs for that important
Office viz: honesty and intelligence.
I am not in the habit of taking
any part whatever in politics, nor
do | wish to do any other candidate
any harm, bat when | see state
ments so misleading as some have
been recently on this subject, /
feel impelled to speak out. I
really think that honesty has come
to be such a scarce commodity,
that when q people once get such
a man in an important position as
John 7. Watkins, they had better
look we'll before they dispense
with his services.
Yours very truly,
r. T. HARRELLs

Cut-Oyer Lands.

made of the increasing value of
cut.over lands and the necessity of
tho owners who hay, retained
possession after selling the timber.
to preserve their ownership, be,
cause of the demand that will be
made for the purchase Of these
lands. The time is close at hand
when the time of immigration will
flow in an ever increasing volume
into this State of so many splendid
and attractive facilities and DOS.
sibilitfes.
1t has been found that these
once-ignored and condemned acres
have developed those qualities
that make them ideal localities for
the cultivation of peaches, pears,
oranges, plums, grapes Of different
varieties and the growth of nut
bearing trees, and especially figs,
SIS shown by the splendid results
achieved by the Long-Bell Lumber
Company of Calcasien parish. In
this instance the lumber company
has pro6tably utilized it's land
after denuding it of timber, and
set a striking and successful ex.
ample of what can be achieved on
these lands by the spirit of enter.
prise and the application of intelli-
gent industry to their cultivation.
How rapidly these hill lanes are
coming into demand for future
settlement and cultivation by a
thrifty class Of agriculturalists is
best convincingly expressed on the
mind by the following item clip.
ped from the last issue of the La.
Sale Ledger, published at Jena,
in the new parish of La Sale:
"a deed of much Importance to
the citizens Of this parish was filed
with and recorded by Clerk of
Court j. II. Bradford this week.
The deed conveys the entire hold.
ings Of cut-over lands belonging to
the Louisiana Central Lumber Co.,
situated in the parishes of LaSalle
and Caldwell to Messrs. James
Gould and Robert j. Edwards, the
purchase price being S14,20S.93.
This transaction is important to the
people of this section because it
set at naught the idea that has
prevailed SO long among the resid.
ents that when the timber was
ftaken from these lands that the
entire value was gone. This land,
most Of it, has been subjected to a
soil survey and it was proven that
it contains the necessary properties
to make it one Of lie finest fruit
and vegetable countries in the
South. The property obtained by
Gould and Edwards IN this trans.
action will in the near future be
brought to state of cultivation
by a thrifty people who thoroughly
understand the methods of diversi.
fed farming and the cultivation
of grapes, figs, peaches, etc.
sThe time is not far distant when
cut over lands will be worth as
much or more than they were
when the timber was on it. Mark
this paragraph well.'

NO INCREASE IN LIGHT
BILL FOR LOS ANGELES
Lighting Associations Fail to I'M
press City Council

Representatives of various street
lighting associations of Los Angeues
appeared before the city council yes
terday, asking that the body rescind
its action of some weeks ago whereby
the associations are now compelled to
pay one-half of the ornamental street
light bills, instead of one-eighth, as the
matter originally stood. The council
listened to a number of speeches, but
took no action.
F. w. Blanchard endeavored to show
the council that the lights were of
benefit in minimizing robbery in the
lighted districts, and contended that
the city was benefited in no small
measure in that fact.
Councilman Andrews made several
speeches opposing the return to the old
scale, and was only subdued when
Council President Lusk invoked the
provision in the parliamentary rules of
the council which prohibits a member
from speaking twice on the same sub
ject or for longer than ten minutes at
one time
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-22

a formal hearing would be afforded by the city
council.
NO QUESTIONS
II is rather significant that although ex-
pressly invited to do so, the lighting COM
panies did not take advantage of the invita-
ton of the board of public utilities before the
city council for the representatives Of the
companies to examine Mr.. Kolner of the Pasa-
dena municipal plant, who present ex-
pressly for that purpose.
The Pasadena municipal plant. although
comparatively a very small steam plant, not
having the great advantage of cheap hydro
electric power, as the electric companies have,
selling only about half of its current, nor the
advantage of any power consumption to speak
of, which it is generally admitted is great
assistance in the economical operation of an
electric plant, still has been able to sell
electric light proftably on a base rate OF
seven cents.
These facts may constitute very good
reason why the companies did not take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to question Mr..
Koiner.
In conclusion, the board of public utilities
is satisfied that the rates suggested by it
and adopted by the city council are fair to
the companies, and that the effort being made
by the companies and their allies to make it
appear that the board has made any admis-
sion to the contrary, that it's conclusions
and recommendations were not based on suf-
ficient grounds, is not fair to the board.
