LOUISIANA PRESS

Kinder Gazette: The sugges-
ton of a Louisiana railroad
official that farmers plant crops
that are adapted to Louisiana
soil along the railroad right of
way for the instruction and ben
eft of passengers is a good one.
And, we would suggest that the
plan be amplifed by the railroad
companies planting orange and
fig trees, grape fruit, ETC., at
their stations, which will also
give their passengers an oppor-
tunity to view the great posi-
bilities Of the best State in the

UPON FOR CONVEN.
ton Of LOUISIANA
BAR.

New Orleans, Feb. IL. "A
meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Louisiana Bar As
ISOLATION was held on yesterday
in the office of Charles A. Du-
champ, the secretary-treasurer,
at II o'clock a. m.
The committee took up the
question of the place of meeting
of the annual convention Of the
association, and accepted the in
vitation of the city. of Lake
Charles. The convention dates
were fixed for June 2 and 3. The
president appointed Henry P.
Dart, ST., chairman, and Paul
Sompayrac and j. D. Cline, of
Lake Charles, a general arrange
ment committee of three to take
charge of the convention details.
A man of national prominence
will be invited to address the
meeting, and several questions
of interest to the profession and
to the people of the state at large
will be made the matter of spe-
cial debate.
It is intended to have a large
delegation from New Orleans to
leave here on a special train, and
the cities of Baton Rouge, Alex
andria, Monroe, Opelousas,
Shreveport and Crowley prom
ised to send large delegations on
special trains. The indications
are that it will be the largest and
most important gathering in the
history of the bar.
Other matters of routine were
of by the executive
committee.

ma Exposition in San Francisco, "
says the announcement, all the
vast expanse of country east of
the Rocky Mountains is left ex-
positionless." It then argues
that the fftieth anniversary of
the close of the four years Of
strife between the states should
be fttingly observed, that no
more suitable method than a
worlds fair can be found and
that Kentucky, as the birthplace
of both President Abraham Lin
coin, of the United States, and
President Jefferson Davis, of the
Confederate States, is the proper
place to hold such a celebration.
One of the features proposed is a
grand reunion in which survivors
OF both the Federal and Con-
federate armies shall participate.
That Federal aid will be sought
by the Louisville promoters is
indicated by a comparison which
they make between the amounts
of money turned into the Ma
tional Treasury by Kentucky and
California.

Importance of Local News
papers.

The Chicago Americans esti-
nation, as follows, of the country
press, is based upon the concrete
facts of extended observation
and reflection:
1T would be a misfortune to
the country if the few big cities
should interfere seriously with
the publication of valuable and
intelligent local newspapers, for
upon the local newspaper the
welfare of the country very
largely depends. The metropoli-
tan daily cannot possibly know
the needs of the various localities
and small cities. Only the local
newspapers can protect local in
terests and local opinion. We
hope that in every town and
village there may be enough pub
lie spirit to support earnestly a
local newspaper, giving encour-
aging appreciation and a good
living to the editor, who also can
represent and defend justice and
public spirit among his neighbors.
The man is unfortunate who can
not afford to take two news
papers at to-day's prices. He
who cannot afford two news
papers, in our opinion, should
display his sense of duty to his
locality by taking the local news
paper"

Natchitoches Times: We did
all we could to preach the gospel
of diversified farming and living
at home. Knowing full well
that old Natchitoches Parish had
the fertility of soil, the magnif-
cent climate and the natural re-
sources equaled by few sections
and surpassed by none, we held
out hope and promise. 1t is,
therefore, with pride that we
now see this section blossoming
out like a rose garden in spring.

alton, located at Wild Rice, N.
d., who recently came to this
city and to Westhope to take
up the proposition of locating
a hospital in this part Of the
state. has made her decision
between The two places and
Bishop O. REILLY announced
last week that the hospital
would come to- Bottineau.
The sisters who will be in
charge here will probably come
from Chicago or Springfield,
Illinois, and the probabilities
are that they will be here some
time about the first of Octo-
Der. if the building can be in
readiness by that time. In the
mean time the commercial
club here must attend to NOV
ing the building promised to
the splendid site on the creek
bank south OF the School of
Forestry grounds and put uD
an addition to it.
Much of the credit for the
securing of the hospital is due
to Father Joseph Andrieux,
who worked earnestly to ad-
vance Bottineau' claims as
the most desirable location.
The location of this hospital
means much to Bottineau and
t h e surrounding territory.
There has long been much
need for such an institution
and the doctors here and in
other towns in the county are
pleased that Il serious problem
is solved. There is no doubt
that the hospital will be kept
busy and not the slightest
doubt that it will prove one
the best propositions Bottineau
has ever been able to secure.

William r. Slack, son of

afternoon while bathing with
a number of other young men.
The party had been fishing near

presumably because of a cramp,
at a place where the water was
about nine feet deep. His
companions tried to rescue him
but failed. One of his brothers

to get the drowning g man to the

cHARIvARI FOR PROF. kemp
Victim Thought II Was premature
But the Boys Gained Their Point.

If the man from Mars had
been investigating i'm this city
on Tuesday night he would
perhaps have been sorely puz-
zled to account for the racket
in the neighborhood of the
Dana residence at eleven o clock
and for an hour and a half
thereafter. Undoubtedly h e
would, like the rest of us, have
got as near the scene of action
as he could as quickly as posi-
BILE.
To those of us who have
never lived on Mars it was at
once apparent that we'll or
ganized charivari party was at
work and that ]. Allan Kemp
was the victim. About IS
young men and boys did the
real work with horns, bells,
drums, tin pans and other
noise making, nerve-racking,
sleep dispelling instruments.
About as many more were play
ing the role of innocent by
among these were
a number Of ladies who came
out to see what was happening.
Mr.. Kemp thought the treats
should come after the wedding
but the boys insisted that he
should do it now!"
From the start of the racket
to the surrender of the victim
and the march to Fladeland-
Williams drug store where
cigars and soft drinks were
served it was a good-natured
affair. There were two parades,
one during the height of the
noise when a prominent citizen
who lives near by, came
down the sidewalk in the
ghostly habilaments of night,
and the other when the
serenaders escorted their vic
tim down the middle of the
street singing, Behold the
bridegroom cometh.' Prof.
Kemp said he hoped he would
again have the pleasure of a
call and that they would come
earlier and make a little less
noise.
