NEED FOR ORGANIZED FOR
EST FIRE PROTECTION
AMONG PRIVATE
OWNERS.

Washington, Sept. 30.-One of
| the lessons which will finally be
drawn from the trying experience
of the present forest fire season,
in the belief Of officials Of the |.
IS. Department Of Agriculture. IS
'ihe need of wider organization
among private owners of timber
to safeguard their holdings.
1t is pointed out that already
in the Northwest both on the Pa
cific Coast and in Montana AMI
Idaho, timberland owners have
formed themselves into associa-
itiOuS which assess the members on
an acreage basis and thus meet
the cost of maintaining a regular
patrol and fire-fighting organiza-
ton. Only by gett ing together
can private owners usually assure
themselves protection, for fire is
no respecter of boundary lines
and the man who undertakes to
keep it out Of his own timber will
want it kept out of his neighbours
too, Wherever possible the Gov
ernment S forest officers cooperate
with the force put in the field by
the associations, so that the en-
ployees Of the Government and
those Of the private owners are
handled practically as a unit in
fighting the common enemy.
This cooperation is advantage
eous to both sides. Protection of
the National Forests necessarily
carries with it a good deal of pro
lection of adjoining or interior
holdings. If the private owners
would everywhere shoulder their
reasonable share of the burden,
the public would gain both
through more general forest con
servation and through relief from
the necessity Of paying for the
protection Of private timber in
order to protect its own.

FINDS BROOM CORN
PROFITABLE

Welsh, La, Sept. PC. a.
|Shipman, who went into the broom
corn business extensively this year
marketed his crop this week The
broom corn business here was a
new venture with Mr.. Shipman,
and he had many things to learn
about it, but he is convinced that
it can be grown profitably here,
and that it is destined to be one
of the coming crops Of this coun-
try. While he did not get a good
general yield owing to insufficient
fertilizer on parts Of the field and
overflow on other parts, still he
got enough to make a fair profit
on his entire acreage. He says
that where he had used suffic ent
fertilizer &c got yield of about
a half ton to the acre. He shipped
his crop to Shreveport, where he
received 800 ton for it. Mr..
IShipman says the cost of produc-
ing broom corn is nothing like as
heavy. acre for acre, as is requir-
ed for the production of rice
crop.

SENATOR McLAURIS WAS A FU.
GITTVE.
Was Friend Of the Assassian Of Lin-
coin and Was Charged With Aid
ing I'm His Murder-Later Proved
His Innocence.

Memphis. Tenn. Dec. 30.-The
News-Scimitar says to-day:
ITO have been sought at one time
by the Federal authorities under a
$4,000 reward for his capture, dead
or alive. for his alleged part In the
conspiracy that resulted in the muir
der of a President of the United
States, and now TO be appointed as a
member of the highest legislative
body OF that country, Is the strange
experience of Col. James Gordon, OF
Okolona, Miss, who has been named
Senator by Governor Noel, of Missis-
sippi, as successor to the late Senator
A. J. McLaurin.
"Mr. Gordon was one of several
Confederate leaders suspected OF be-
ing in conspiracy with j. Wilkes
Booth to kill President Abraham Lin
coin. He escaped arrest and pro-
badly death only by the intervention,
it is stated. of Yankee colonel with
whom he had crossed swords in a
fight in Virginia.
During the earlier years of the
war Colonel Gordon had formed an
intimate friendship with Booth, and
after the assassination of President
Lincoln the reward of $4,000 was
offered for his capture. Colonel Cor
don went to Canada and 1t was sew
eraf months after the close of hostil-
tiles before he found 1t safe to return
home.
During one of the campaigns in
Virginia Colonel Gordon had crossed
swords with the colonel of New
York cavalry regiment. Both were
wounded in the conflict, but they af-
terward became fast friends.
Colonel Gordon wrote letter to
this New Yorker denying that he had
any part in the conspiracy and stat
ing that he desired to return home.
The former foe took the matter up
with General Dicks, then in command
of the army forces in New York, who
sent him a passport and an invitation
to come to New York and surrender.
which he did. He afterward satisfied
General Dicks that he knew nothing
of the Lincoln conspiracy.
''He took the oath of allegiance
and returned to his home in Chicka-
saw County, where he has since re-
| sided"

mission-Wm Have One Circuit

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 5.-With
the Democrats fighting every inch OF
the way. the Mann bill providing for
the administration of the Panama
Canal Zone and centralixing the gov
ernment there in the President OF the
United States. passed the House to-
day by a vote of 1l9 to I02. The
vote was along strict party lines.
Representative Mann, author OF
the bill, claimed that precedent for
delegation of such power in the ex-
ecutive was found in similar action
by Democratic Congresses at the time
of the Louisiana Purchase and again
when Florida was ceded to the Unit
er States by Spain. Defending his
party, Representative Harrison, OF
New York, said that disturbed inter
national conditions made such action
necessary, but that despotic govern
ment in those territories was con-
tinued no longer than was necessary
to establish loyal government.
Speeches were made by Represen-
|tatives Underwood Of Alabama, Hard
wick of Georgia, and others in op-
position to this action. A motion OF
Mr.. Hardwick to strike out the sec
tion entirely was lost by the close
vote of IS to 80.
The bill. as it goes to the Senate
authorizes. the President to have com.
pleted the Panama Canal and to ap,
point a director-general Of the cana
and the Canal Zone. thus doing ava!
with the Canal Commission. 1t in
