In another column of this issue OF
the JOURNAL, will BE- found part OF
an article from the Beaumont Euter-
prise, relative to farmers not signing
up with the Southern Rice Grower S
Association, for the sale OF their rice.
1t is q disgrace to the farming COM
munity of any section Of the country,
that such an appeal is necessary. In
order to persuade planters to join IN
a cooperative movement, whose sole
end and aim is the betterment of their
conditions. 1t is a well known fact
that the farmers have failed in the
past to secure Just recognition OF their
rights, because OF the very fact that
they would not unite and stick togeth-
er on any general plan of co-opera-
ton. This is now the one hope of the
bears, who have been depressing the
rice market in the past. They don't
believe the planters will stick togeth-
err. We regret to state that even In
this locality, there are some planters.
who are Sinking their duty in this re-
Spect, by not signing up with the
sales agency. 1t cannot be urged in
defense of this line of action, that
they fear the association will not sue
coed, as it has already succeeded 10
adding from SOC to 75c per barrel to
the price of rice, which means mat.
ter OF several millions OF dollars to
the planters. Nor can it be consist
entity argued that they fear to trust
the association, as the men who have
the matter in charge in this locality,
are known to be men OF the highest
business integrity, and men, to whom,
in many instances, thesei same plant
ers go for assistance and advice upon
any peEplsxiug business proposition.
The Rice Association has demonstrate
cd tho fact that they can improve the
market condition and it would seem
that every sentiment, pride, ambition
and desire Tor greater prosperity,
should appeal to every planter to
join the association and boost it with
all their might.

Why look to South American
countries, or even as far awoy as
Mexico tor examples of rank seces-
sion and rebellion with which to point
a Story, when the same thing can be
fonnd right at home? Jennings, the
hotbed OF parish secession, and the
breeding place of political aspirants,
has boldly and deliberately seeded
from Imperial Calcasieu, declaring
she would neither play in our back
ward" nor "slide down our cellar
door" any more. Although aware OF
The fact that Jennings was not satls'
fled with the result of the recent cleo
ton on the parish division question:
DESPITE her loud prediction protests
oflfaith in the voice of the people, YET
we little thought that she would VIII
fully and maliciously turn down an
opportunity to engage in an election
in which she was bound TO have things
all her own way. And yet, that IS
last what she has done. And 1t was
Nv this same act of self-abnegatlon
that the true status of affairs in that
village, has finally come to light. In
the recent election, called by the GOV.
ernor of the State, for the election OF
police juror, to succeed Hon. Mr.
Conner of ward ten, Jennings absO-
iutely refused to participate, return
ing the ballot box to Lake Charles as
empty as it came. This leaves the
election of police juror to Lake

formed, have not vet secceeded' In
dications are that Mr.. Geo. Shove was

Welsh is Easy, SO Say the HoDoes

For the past few weeks, Welsh has
been overrun with that migratory Bird

sion of this class of individual is that
'Welsh is easyn. Nor are they par
ticular to stop for q meal and then
pass on. On the contrary, they are

been here in the capacity OF solicitors,
sign painters, umbrella menuers, as
well as q varied assortment OF crlppies,
all OF whom prey upon the people III
one way or another. In conversation
with several Of these gentry 1t was
boldly asserted that Welsh was one
of the easiest places on the road. -
Several Of these visitors asserted
with good deal Of vehemence that
they would never stop in Crowley
again, as they put them to "wolk on
de road" there on the charge OF vag-
rancy, while others seemed to have a
wholesome fear of Lake Charles and
Orange.
A little retroSpection will call to mind
the fact that practically every major
case of robbery that has occurred IN
Welsh in recent years, has followed
almost immediately upon the wake OF
an influx of this class of visitors.
Aside from tho actual expense OF keep
iug this vagabond class, and the prob
ability Of pillage and robbery, these
trancients sleep somewhere, often in
barns or outbuildings, where there is
imminent danger of them starting a
fire by lighting matches for smoking
and other purposes.
The JOURNAL earnestly recommends
the passage OF some kind Of an erdin-
ance by our city fathers, that will
make Welsh d less desirable winter
resort for this class of people.

RAILWAY NOTES.

Crop conditions are good and the rail-
roads of the west and middle west are
extremely hopeful for big fall bust
ness.
President Earring of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul has offered
$1,000 silver cup for the best oats pro-
duced in the United States, to be shown
at the Land and Irrigation Exposition
in New York next November.
Scarcely a day passes that does not
bring news of curtaihnent IN the oper-
ating departments of the railroads. So
far during the present week announce
ments or reductions Of the number of
employees in shops for the various rail
roads have been more numerous than in
previous weeks.
It is possible that with the end of this
month the practice of granting reduced
between Chicago and New York will be
discontinued. Efforts in this direction
have been made repeatedly for more
than a year by several of the eastern
lines. but 1t has been impossible TO
abandon the half rates eastward be-
cause of the fact that eastern trunk
lines were indisposed to give up the re-
duced rates westbound. 1t is suggested
that arrangements be made to cancel
both eastbound and westbound clergy
fares after April 80. Chicago roads now
consider it very probable that the
The Oklahoma Railway company
and its affiliated corporations have sub
mitted their reports of taxable valua-
tons to the state auditor The Okla
homa Railway company itself reports a
total valuation of 1871, 142.4e, as COM
pared with an assessment of $776,970
last year 1t reports a total trackage
of 1882 miles, compared with 45.76 last
year.
What is said to be the greatest en-
cheering feat is the bridge across
Crooked river to be built by the Oregon
Trunk, the Hill line now being con-
structed into central Oregon. The
bridge will consist of a single cantilever
arch spanning the big box canyon of
Crooked river and the railroad track
will be 1926 feet above the water. The
gorge to be crossed is $40 feet across.
Footings for the bridge supports are
being built in the sole rock walls of
the canyon.
Records just compiled by the Van
dalia Railroad company show that In
1908. 1909 apd 1910 not one passenger
out of total Of 9,S00.030 carried was
killed in a train accident on that rail-
road. The Vandalia railroads. part of

NEW SANTA FE CLEARING HOUSE
Pueblo Handles Cash for Arkansas
valley Products.


Pueblo, Colo, April 1s.-The Santa
Fe will make Pueblo the clearing
house for the products of the entire
Arkansas valley. Beginning with
warm weather a regular refrigerator
line will be established between all
shipping points in the valley which
would extend to Pueblo.
Two years ago the shipment of pro-
duce out of Pueblo amounted to al
most nothing. At that time the rail-
road officials started one refrigerator
ca a week out of Pueblo. Within two
months the business had increased to
the point where it was necessary to
run two cars per week. Up to that
used in the valley towns was being
shipped from Kansas points. A mar
ket for the unlimited amount of pro-
produce raised in the valley was found
and the shipments began to increase.
During the last half of the hot wealth
er of 1910 the cars were running five
days a week and in some parts every
day. A regular service was instituted
which was almost as regular as the
government mail. Up to the present
time, however, none of the refrigera-
tor cars have been shipped into Pu-
eblo but all of them have gone out
bearing all of the produce raised in
this end of the valley and mostly in
coming summer a regular refrigerator
car service will be instituted which
will bring nearly all of the melons,
berries, vegetables. meats and orchard
products from the entire valley to this
city. Pueblo will be the commission
house for the entire country for the
products of the Arkansas valley.

Arkansas City, April 13.-George
Ward, the young man who was cap
tured near here in Oklahoma with two
stolen horses, was arraigned in court
here yesterday afternoon and his hear

nish bond for $1,000 and is now in the
county jail. The body of T. NJ. Huff.
the man who was killed by Sheriff Mead
and his posse of Kay county, Oklahoma,
officers, brought here. The coroner's
jury at Kaw City, Okla, exonerated the
officers who shot Huff, as he was re-
sisting arrest at the time he was killed.
A dozen shots were fired at him and
one passed through his head.

NO NEGRO BRAKENfEN HIRED.
California Fear Is Quieted by Santa
Fe OfficiaIs.

San Bernardino. Cal, April ia
denial has been issued from the Santa
Fe offices in this city that negroes
would be employed to meet the in
crease of an additional brakeman on
all passenger trains of over three cars,
required by the full crew bill' which
becomes O. law on April 20.
A rumor has spread among the
Santa Fe men that when the second
brakeman was put on the passenger
runs in accordance with the new law
negroes would be employed, whose
duties would probably be those of
porter as well a sa brakeman.
Many local railroad men believed
the authenticity of the report. 1t is
said by them that q number of ex-
porters are industriously consulting
the book of rules at Los Angeles, pre-
pairing to pass the standard examina-
ton for brakemen as required by the
law before they can be employed.
If the Santa Fe should put on ne
groes as the second brakemen on pas
senger trains, railroad men say the
move would be resisted by the organi-
cations.
