WHAT NEWARK'S POPULATION IS.

NV EWARkS directory for this year makes Il highly encouraging
AM showing of the growth of the city population. The total of
names inscribed is approximately 10000. AS only the adult
nafes and heads of families are recorded, a margin estimated as
high as twoThirds remains unrecorded, representing women and
children and adult males who may have been missed by the can
sassers. The increase in recorded names since last year is nearly
five thousand. There is evidence here of an extraordinary census
showing for Newark by the Federal enumeration this year. If the
census figures come within hailing distance of a computation of city
population based on an estimate OF three persons for every name
in the directory for 1910. there will be some hustHng f. public and
private enterprise. We can't get subways and municipal docks and
an additional water supply and some other things too soon. and
dJrere will have 10 be II bigger boom in house building.

CANNON RULES THE RULES COMMITTEE.

aud sonin-Iaw of Roosevelt, has tlanspired at Washington. Mr..
Iongworth's name had been slated for membership, and when the
slate was presented TO Cannon he crossed out Longworth's name.
There had been no objection 10 the Ohio representative from any
other source, and his name had been agreed on. This incident is
ofa nature 10 cause renewed disquiet in majority councils. 1t will
ibeniHy received in the Middle West, and give new zest to anti

mittee, the committee is decidedly under Cannons thumb and sub.

II except as ii vicious fling at him from an official who enjoys the

The extension of the period for the park concerts is gratifying.

The Panama Exposition.

THE people of New Orleans and, in fact, of
the entire state of Louisiana, and the people of
the neighboring states are now very much in
earnest about securing the location of the coming
Panama Exposition in New Orleans, the ''logi-
cal point" ard are very enthusiastic in their
views of the probable success of their efforts.
1t is believed that one million of dollars will
be secured by private subscription and then that
the city and state will raise say two millions
each additionally, by some proper plan of bond
issue and taxation, thus securing a total of five
millions which, with the appropriations made by
Congress and the various nations of the world,
would lead to q total of fifteen or twenty mil
lions of dollars invested in the proposed expo
sition in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the
Panama Canal.
Those who are familiar with the earlier his
tory of the country, realize that the value to the
whole country Of the port of New Orleans and the
mouth of the river was better appreciated then
than now and have always regretted to see that
the civil war brought with it as one of it's de-
stuctive results, SO far as New Orleans was con-

Cattle for the Lower Coast.

The success that attaches to cattle culture on
the Lower Coast as can be seen in the splendid
twelve hundred pound oxen throughout the rice
sections of the parish, is very suggestive Of the
possible expansion of this industry. We are led
10 these reflections by the fact that a few days
$50 a car load of cattle was sent in from the
western part of the state and was sold at the
Stock Landing at seven cents per pound live
weight and each steer in the carload averaged
over $50 in money return.
The Lower Coast is emphaticaI!y q cattle
country from the fact that the ornnipresent and
perennial grass makes a good natural food sup
ply more readily obtainable there than elsewhere
in the state. Corn for f~attening cattle Can be
produced, as about the only enemy that it has
is that of the constant growth of the l~uxuriant
grass in the fields. The present value of cattle,
which now bids fairly to be maintained, is very
suggestive Of possible profits in cattle culture,

A Restricted Rice Production.

A COMPILATION of all of the rice data pro-
durable from the various sections where rice
was grown last year and where popular report
indicated that it would grow this year has been
made by the CROWLEY RICE JOURNAL and the
conclusion is reached that while there will be a
very large area planted in rice and especially in
new territories, a large curtailment in the older
lands is certain and the acreage is held as not
likely to exceed that of last year and may per-
haps be less.
The low prices prevailing for rice are carry
ing immense quantities Of it into consumption
and the surplus part of the crop 1909 we think
will not cut much figure on the market by the
time the 1910 crop reaches the harvest season.
