PROCLAMATION OF LOUISIANA
LAND.

"The actual work of retaining
the lands of Louisiana, and partic-
ularly those along some portions
of the Southern Pacific lines in
this state, is revelation to me, "
said Mr. Joseph Lallande, assist
ant general freight agent Of the
Southern Pacific, who has return
ed from business trip over the
road.
"People outside Of the state
hear a great deal about land being
purchased that will be reclaimed,
but they don't hear much about
what is actually reclaimed or is
being reclaimed. We get letters
very often saying that persons
have heard of Louisiana lands
"that will be reclaimed and ask
ing if any such land has been le-
claimed as Il matter OF fact.
cit is remarkable how much OF
this reclamation work is actually
going on of which tht people
know absolutely nothing, and
which means so much to Louisiana.
There are three great projects OF
this nature on our road in the Vi

work is actually in progress on a

/ Charles Land Company property
of about $1,000. acres. and the
third is the Julius Fink property.

very near future. nearly $4,000
acres of magnificent farming Ian !
will be added to the state S pro
ducing area. and which will pro

points, too, and that means a
great deal to New Orleans, as he

ENFORCEMENT OF RIVERS.

We reproduce from the Times
Democrat of June I'd, the subjoin-
ed article by Capt. +. T. King:
Since you were kind enough
to publish my last communication
on thN)divorcement of the Miss
issippi from the Red and Atchaf-
alaya rivers, and the protection
and reclamation of millions of
acres of the richest lands in the
world, / have received numerous
letters from different portions Of
our State not only indorsing my
views in regard to the great
questions before the people, but
thanking me for calling their at
tention to it. saying that it was
a great pity there were not more
men in our State to call their at
tention to it. One of these letters
/ enclose to you, hoping you will
publish the same.
To understand this question
thoroughly let us start from the
earliest settlement of our coun-
try. 1t was found that levees
were absolutely necessary for the
protection of our lands from the
floods Of the Mississippi This
led to the introduction Of ou-
present levee system, and what
has been the RESULT According
to the last census we have pro-.
tected and reclaimed about $780,
900 acres Of land, on which New
Orleans and other cities, towns
and plantations have been built;
IN which five-sixths of the pop
llation and wealth Of our State
are now located. We have done
his at a vast expense in the way

on the residents of the

FEAR OF RABIES.

The season of hot weather Is
now fairly started and with 1t
the danger from rowing dogs that
may have developed rabies. Lit
tie children are playing in the
streets and are open to the attack
of any rabid dog.
In view Of these facts, it Is
well to call attention to the cir
cumstances that the greatest dan
ger from rabies comes in lack OF
preventive measures, immediately
after the child, or man or woman,
as the case may be, has been hit
ten. If a person bitten by rabid
dog is Immediately put under thu
Pasteur treatment, and the bite
Is not situated very close to some
large nerve center, thu chances
for prevention of the develop
ment of this invariably fatal and
horrible disease are almost nine
ty-nine in a hundred.
People who are skeptical about
the existence of rabies and those
who have a hysterical fear OF it
alike may learn something, Dc
clares The Chicago Record-Her-
old, from Bulletin No. 449 of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, which has just been pub
lished and was prepared by DR..
John X. Mohler, chief Of thu

reau Of animal industry, u hi4h

DR.. Mohler says there is no
communicable disease which is
more easily prevented or eradi-
Gated than rabies. He believes H
is inexcusable to allow this con-
tagion to be propagated indef'-
nitely when the means OF proven
ton are so simple. All that is
necessary, he asserts, is to tax all
dogs and destroy those untaxed as
Migrants and to restrain all dogs
appearing in public places by
means of q leash or a muzzle. He
disposes Of the fear of rabies
from the bite of a dog that some
time after hitting shows evil
dences Of the disease by telling
us that the disease is communi-
cable only from an animal that
has it at the time of the bite.
The principal difficulty is ear
rying out DR.. Mothers recon-
is that it is practical

begin July - and last eight days. No
alarming announcement of a real bull
fight was made, but it was said that
real men Of the bull ring would be
present, and hints We're given that
their talent would not be entirely
wasted.
Now the management Of Saltair has
made ii known that Robert. who went
to Mexico recently to arrange for The
toreadors, dancing girls and others for
the troupe. has engaged some of the
most successful bullighters Of the
