LOUISIANA HOGS THE BEST.

LOUISIANA HOGS THE BEST.
Ruston Leader A load Of Louisiana
hogs sold at $825 per 100 pounds on the
Fort Worth market last week. They
were raised near Shreveport. The in
tefesting and important point in this sale
was that the price paid for these hogs
was the highest price paid at any mar
ket in the United States on that day.
The highest price paid at Chicago, the
worlds great hog center, was SS.I2 I-2,
and it is supposed that the best hogs in
the country are sold at Chicago. Louis
lana can beat the world raising hogs
AS dong as we have such hogs, why
can't some Of our hog raisers get in the
competition At The National Feeders and
Breeders Show At Fort Worth March q

PARCELS POST
Making Bugaboo of an Enterprise
Solicitude for the Middlenlan Is Not
Necessary.

ST Franeisville True Democrat: The
Progressive Union of Donaldsonville
has become alarmed flor Donaldson
ville concerning the prospects of even
a limited parcels post, and has adopted
resolutions which in their verbiage are
strikingly like the plate matter stuff
flooding the newspapers in the interest
Of The express companies. The implied
reason for the resolution is the danger of
utter determination threatening the small
towns in the event parcels post IS es-
tablished.
We cited last week the fact that small
towns flourish in England though the
parcels. post exists, and there is no rea-
son to suppose that American towns
have not sufficient enterprise TO take ad
vantage of the parcels post and not be
yanquished BY it.
The best rule in government is the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and there can be no doubt that since the
parcels post will bring producer and Gus
toner closer together. eliminating most
of the niddlemen and their costs, it is
obvious that the two great classes above
named, composing the entire population,
will be benefited
SoIicitude for the middleman is not
necessary as experience has shown that
these are very adaptable, finding live

McCURDYS EXPLOIT.

On Monday morning the aviator, ]. A.
D. McCurdy, already noted for his dar-
ing and successful feats in the air, de-
parted from Key West Fla, in his aero
plane, his destination being Havana,
Cuba, across the strait Unfortunately
when within about terrmiles of his goal,
a Slight accident in small part of the
machinery let out the lubricating oil,
which at the time could not be repaired
nor replaced, and led to his descent into
the sea. The aviator was ready for such
a trying emergency and was rescued in a
little while by one of the ships of the
squadron of the United States Navy
posted as scouts or lookouts at dis
tance of ten miles apart.
The disappointment Of the aviator
may be imagined, but such man as Nc
Curdy will not rest satisfied until he
shall accomplish successfully the feat
he mad mapped out and to execute which
he had waited patiently for more than a
week for favorable conditions.
Although McCurdy did not reach
the drill grounds OF Camp Column
bia, near Havana, where he had ex-
peeted TO land, he has scored an amaz-
ing record which will ever stand TO his
credit.
The fight was for a prize of $1,000 of
fered by the Havana Post and $1,000 by
the city of Havana The distance Of
ninety-six miles was covered in two
hours.
Aviator MeCurdy viii remain at Camp
Columbia several days, where he will
give demonstrations in aviation.

The Alaska sourdough., 1911-11-28

That Marcus Daily, the copper mag
nate, and Max Fleishmann the yeast
magnate, had an experience which diff
fered widely from that of other non-res-
ident hunters on the Kenai peninsula,
is pretty conclusively shown by q
number Of letters which have been re-
ceived at the governor S Office in the
last week or two.
DAILY and Fleischman, it will be re-
membered, had much to say after they
left Alaska, about the character OF the
guides licensed by the government on
the recommendation of Game Warden
Shea. In an intervier in the Seattle
Post -InteIligencer, Marcus DAILY be-
came really eloquent in the rehearsal OF
his woes Marcus says he had to get
guide to guide his guide, and much more
lust as emphatic, if not 50 Alternative
Fleischmann left with sweeping de-
nunciation of the whole crew of guides
on the Kenai peninsula. They were
bad lot in every way, and he talked
like man who was sore indeed. He ev-
en- intimated that the whole system was
permeated with graft.
AS soon as these complaints drifed
into the office of Governor Clark, he
caused an investigation to be institut-
ed. Secretary Shorthill wrote to every
one Of the twenty-five or thirty hunters
from the outside who visited Kenai
peninsula this summer, and asked for
their experience with the guides, whom
these hunters had employed.
A number Of replies have been re-
ceived among them from Captain Nal

colin Mcneil Of Scotland, James Ford
Bell, Young Elkins, son of the late U.
S. Senator Elkins, the German Consul
at San Francisco, and Jim Jeffries. La
every instance these replies have been
favorable to the guides, and in some in
stances they have been fulsome in their
praises Of the men who escorted them
over the trails to the hunting grounds.
Governor Clark himself wrote let
ter to Marcus Daily for more details
and definite facts, but as yet there has
been no reply Both to DAILY and to
Fleischman the explanation was made
that the purpose of writing the letters
was to improve the service by obtain
ing precise and particular information
in regard to the subject of the com
plants. II have not made up my
mind" said the governor in his letter
to Fleischman. cit is only fair to
state, however, that there has been lit
tie complaint from visiting hunters, and
this leads me to hope that your criti-
eism has been caused by instances Of in
competence which are rare

ernor |efor the good Of the service
and for the benefit Of the hunters who
will visit Alaska in the future, upon
what you base your statement that the
guides are incompetent? The statement
would imply that you are in possession
Of a good deal Of information which
would be valuable to this office.
The letters to DAILY and Fleischman
were written on Nov. g., but as yet no
reply has been received at the govern
or IS office

sumo his duties, but is not well.
