Differing in form, but presenting the
same sentiments, the Office Of the gov-
crnor for the past two days has been
flooded with letters and kilograms
protesting against the bill, now before
the house, which seeks to put into
effect the recommendations made by
the special investigating committee
that the management of the Soldiers
Home at Hot Springs be placed in
the hands of people who are in no way
connected with the Grand Army. and
especially of younger men.
Since the introduction of the bill,
the old soldiers of the state have been
protecting against its passage and
there is an organized effort being
made to bring about its defeat.
Not only has Governor Vessey been
receiving large numbers Of these mes
sages, but many other officials of
the state, as well as the legislators
have been appealed to.

CHAMP CLARK TO BE SPEAKER.

A CAUCUS of the Democratic members,
elect OF the next national house OF repre-
sentatiyes was held at Washington. jan
nary 20, at which Hon. Champ Clark OF
Missouri was unanimously named as the
marty candidate for speaker. Mr.. Clark is
the minority leader in the present house
and enjoys high degree Of popularity
with his fellow members on both sides OF
the political fence. His name is already
being suggested in connection with the
Democratic presidential nomination III
1912, and if he makes good as speaker ms
chances will be almost as good as the next
fellow S.
The caucus selected ways and means
committee. from which Congressman K. 5
Broussard of Louisiana is eliminated be-
cause he voted with Speaker Cannon ano
for protection to his states industries al
the last session.
The ways and means committee was
empowered to select the other house
committees, and the name OF Congress
man T. Al. Aiken of New York Wa:
stricken from the caucus roll on the GROUND
that he has declared his intention OF sot
iup with the Republicans.

New Census Being Taken.

AS required by Acts II and 4S OF 1908,
Assessor A. A. King has commenced the
enumeration of Confederate veterans
widows of Confederate veterans and
children Of educable age whose residence
is in Ascension parish. Mr.. King is per
sonally compiling this census in the wards
lying on the east bank of the river, and
has employed F. j. Rybiski, of Donaldson
vile. to take the census in this city
Mayor Charles Maurin has made arrange
ments with Mr. Rybiski to compile cen
sus of the municipality at the same time
and when the count IS completed, which
will be within the course of the next week
the figures will offer basis for compari-
son to determine whether the census
taken under the supervision of the munic-
ipality some two years ago, giving the
city population Of 5027, was more nearly
accurate than the count compiled last
April by the federal census takers, which
represented the population to be only 1850
as compared with 5015 in 1860. The re-
suit of Mr.. Rybiski's tabulation will there
fore be awaited with considerable inter
est, and will be accepted by the towns
people at least, if not by the federal gov
eminent, as settling the point at issue.

FOREIGN VESSEL IN Port.
Steamship ssOaxacao Loading Cargo Of
Crossties at West Kentucky Coal
Company's Triple, for Transporfa-
tion to Mexico.


Company's Triple, for Transporta-
ton to Mexico.
The Mexican steamship 'Oaxaca ar
rived in port Monday night and is now
berthed at the West Kentucky Coal Com
pany's deep-water loading station just
above the city. The vessel will ship a
full cargo consisting Of 26,500 crossties
and will clear from this port direct for
VeraCruz. Mexico.
Although Donaidsonville was chartered
nearly 100 years ago. this issthe first yes
sci to be loaded at this point. It is also
the first vessel TO be loaded on the Mis-
sissippi river above New Orleans clearing
direct for foreign port. The ample
! facilities afforded the steamship at the
West kentucky Coal Company's tipple
will reduce the time and expense of hand
| ling and loading the cargo to a minimum,
/ at the same time fully demonstrating the
| vast possibilities of this port as an ilnpor-
| tant commercial gateway. Donaldson
Vile. by virtue of her ideal location, deep
water harbor, freight handling facilities
and other favorable conditions, offers to
shippers unexcelled advantages for direct
communication with all seaport trade
centers, thus enabling them at all times
TO carry on healthy commerce with
every section and to choose the very best
markets for their products, be they Of
manufacture or of agriculture.
1 The crossties with which the "Oaxaca'
1 is being loaded were manufactured at the
plant Of the Baker Wakefield Cyress Com
. pany, at Plattenville, and were conveyed te
/ Donaldsonville via the Texas and Pacific
Railroad in sixty open freight cars. The
cars are run out to the end of the West
Kentucky Company's loading station
j from whence the ties are dropped BY
means Of chute into a barge lying al
the foot of the tipple. Here they are
picked up in chain sling operated by
/ steam winch and dropped into the hole o.
4 the vessel. These ties have been sold BY
I the Baker-W akefield Company to one O
the largest railroad companies in Mexico
and the selling price provides for the ship
ment of the material to Mexico and 1T
delivery to the purchasers on the dock a
I. Vera Cruz.
The "Oaxaca" will in all probability com
Eplete the task of loading and be ready tt
sail about the middle of next week.

Funny how quickly some newspapers
can change their opinions of public men.
Esteemed contemporaries that sung the
praises of President Taft a few weeks ago
fer appointing a Louisianiana chiefjustice
Of the supreme.court, are now deriding and
denouncing him because he is accused of
preferring San Francisco to New Orleans
as an exposition city. Such opinions are
very valuable, perhaps.

colonel's declaration that he will not
again be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for president. No act OF
President Taft's has elected heartier OF
more general commentator that the ele-
walton of Associate Justice White of Lou

act will be selected by either of tie great
