FELLDOWNSIAIRS
and BROKE neck
Especial to the Tribune)

VALLEY CITY, July This morn.
ing at an early hour Chief of Police
Swanson was called to the building ad-
joining the Swanson block on east
Main street and found the dead body of
Robert Sampson lying at the foot of
the stairs. The supposition is that
Mr.. Sampson, while attempting to
come down the stairs had fallen, and,
lihgting on his head, broke his neck.
The deceased was about IS years old
and has spent a major portion CT his
time in Barnes county during the
past thirty years. He recently re-
turned to the city from Northern Min
nesota, where he had been in the
woods during the winter and stated
it was the thirty-sixth winter he had
spent in logging camps. The remains
were taken to the S0mdahl undertak-
ing rooms and will be held there pend
ing further arrangements. As far as
can be learned he had no relatives
in this part of the country.

(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, July IA sweeping
investigation of all express companies
in the United States, affected by the
Interstate commerce laws today was
ordered by the interstate commerce
commission on it's own motion.
Evidently in anticipation of hhis
action by the commission practically
all of the express companies with the
exception of the Long Island late
yesterday afternoon fileu new tariff
which are believed to be material re-
ductions in rates. 1t is said today that
it would require several months to
compare these rates with those now
in existence.
1t is also announced that the filing
of new rates would not effect the pro-
posed investigation in any way. This
Investigation will be one of the wild
est scope ever undertaken by the COM
mission and not only will be conduct
ed as rates but will include practices,
accounts and revenues of various COM

SOUTH.

AAAs LIS,
Recently the Illinois Central
persuaded the government to
send a number of it's soil experts
on a trip through the South.
These men were placed on a spe-
cial train, armed with moving
pictures. They visited 81 towns
and cities, many of them in
Louisiana, telling of the things
that can be done by intelligent
farming.
1T is the aim of the Illinois
Central to bring Louisiana the
best soil tillers Of the Middle
West" continued this official.
We want men who understand
diversified farming and garden
ing. Louisiana should be known
as the garden of Chicago, Mem
phis and st. Louis. It's soil is
such that it will raise the finest
crops of garden truck in the
world. It's climate is so mild
that these crops may be placed
in the market at a time when
prices are highest.
HAS UNEXCELLED TRANS
PORTATION.
And last, but not least, it has
an unexcelled transportation SER
vice. The Illinois Central freight
service to the north cannot be
beaten. It is practically express
service, and garden truck and
vegetables sent north in our re-
frigerator cars reach the market
practically as fresh as when
first packed for shipment.
The loss of the Panama ex-
position to New Orleans, which
so richly deserved this plum,
will be a good thing, I be-
lieve, because it will give the
business men an opportunity to
expend the energy they would
have put into this great exhibi-
ton in the upbuilding of their
state. The preliminary plans
for the capturing of the expo
sition reused a cooperative spirit
among the people and the Illinois
Central and showed them what
they really could do if they
worked together and the lesson
thus learned will never be for
gotten.
"A spirit of harmony per-
the meetings held and
this harmony and good fellow
ship that prevailed is now being
used in the advancement of the
states welfare.
ES A R e
Just as an example Of what
Louisiana can do, here are figures
Of some of the crops produced in
1908:
(lbs.) 553, 841, 800
Cotton (bales) $50, 900
Rice (bs.) 208, 269, 400
Corn (bu.) 20, 308, TT
and syrup (bbls) 600, 600
And in addition to these
crops Louisiana counts many
things among her resources. In
the southwestern part of the state
% per cent Of all the crude sui
pher in the world is produced.
These are the greatest sulpher
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1911-08-05

mines in the world as the prod
uct is SO per cent pure when
brought to the surface, Then in
this same part of the state there
is a great oil field being develop
ed. This petroleum belt sur
sounds Lake Charles and ex-
tends to Jennings. The grade
of oil is exceptionally good and
there is a splendid market right
at hand for it.
"Other things Louisiana val
ues are her climate, her water,
her people, her scenery and her
schools and churches. Then
there are vast herds Of cattle,
immense lumber industries, the
largest salt mines in the world
and the whitest sugar.
But the gardens are really
the show places because North
ern people do not realize all that
we can do here in the late winter
and early spring. Strawberries,
early vegetables, and in fact all
the luxuries and out of season
dainties are here for the man
who wishes to grow them, and
if he would sell they will bring
him a splendid price. South
Water Street in Chicago pays 10
per cent more for Louisiana
truck than for that from other
states.
Hog raising is another in
dustry that is capable of much
expansion, as is dairying. Oats,
vetch, peas, and peanuts are
splendid food for such stock and
the last two are fine soil restorers.
Practically every crop raised
anywhere grows here to splendid
maturity. With only 5, 900, 600
acres under cultivation in 1908,
the crop values were $40, 000,-
600. With the $500, 900 acres

Illinois Central Plans to
Aid Work of Reclamation

LOUISIANA swamp lanQ VIII
support a population of nearly
1000, 900 people when they are
reclaimed and properly titled,
and the Illinois Central railroad
intends to see that these millions
of dormant acres are brought
into fertility within a compare
| lively short time
This declaration by a promi-
nent Illinois Central official who
was in the South recently has
placed the stamp Of approval on
a project that should lie close to
the heart of every Louisianian,
because it affects not only his
own prosperity, but that of his
state as a whole. Louisiana,
with an acreage of %, 600, 900,
has approximately only 5000, 900
acres under cultivation, and the
balance, much of it already high
and needing little to make it
ready for the plow, stands idle.
THE government is interested
in the reclamation of the arid
lands of the West and South
vest" continued the railroad
official. The reclamation law
that makes this work possible
may be made applicable to the
swamp lands of the South. To
prove this is true, it is only nee
essary to turn to the klamath
Falls, Oregon, project, where a
lake is being drained that the
acres underlying it m a be
brought into bearing.
FINEST N IN T H E
UNITED STATES.
Louisiana has the finest land
in the United States. | think II
may make this assertion without
fear of contradiction, especially
when I speak of the delta lands.
These acres have been built up
of the cream of the soil skinned
by the Mississippi from the states
of the Middle West. The Father
of Warters in his journey to the
Gulf carries away. the top layer
of the best soil of the country
which he travels and de-
tin Louisiana for the use
Of the Southern farmer.
Much. of this delta land is
now swamp and the work neces-
sary to reclaim it is of such mag
nitude that / believe the govern
should step in and aid. With
the completion Of the Panama
the mighty dredges used
there could be transported here
and put to better use than they
are now.
THE work of reclamation be
ing done by private companies is
in many instances, but
there is so much of it to do that
the United States should take
hold and do it under federal
supervision.
AT the Land Show in Chicago
asst fall we men of the Illinois
Central were amazed at the re-
suits obtained from our exhibit,
and we determined to return
here this year even better
than last. We shall
axe Louisiana to Chicago with
IS.
