By plats Of survey of the Sur

area Of land surface in the sur

estimated at 29,061, 76O acres. Ac-
cording to the reports of the In

lands in the State amount to g.

The Swamp and overlooked

rendered thereby unfit for cult

Of Louisiana by Acts Of March 2,

grants were in present. and ope-
rated as to their respective dates
to invest the State Of Louisiana
with equitable title to all such

LAKE SHRIMP.

Lake Shrimp, the great dellca
cy Of the Gulf and one of the
most necessary ingredients of the
far-famed Gumbo. has recently
been given great deal Of atten
tion. In the early days Of the
State history, shrimp fisherman
brought the delectable morsel tC
the markets for home consump
ton only. Later, the Chinese
and Malay fishermen caught and
dried the shrimp afterwards
shipping them to the countries
Of the Far East, while canneries
located at various points in The
State can the product and ship
them to the markets of the world
Always the demand has been
increasing with the natural re-
suit that the supply has been di-
minishing Men interested in the
problem in various ways, have
tried to obtain protection for
these crustaceans, but generally
the efforts have been defeated.
Those engaged in this conserva-
ton work always anticipate oppo-
sition from the fishermen who
seem to be unable to understand
that the secret Of the increase Of
this valuable natural resource is
is through protection of the fe-
males during the breeding season.
This opposition is one of the
strangest features Of the whole
protective problem. Here is
class Of sitizens who have followed
this livelihood for 3 or 4 genera
tions and all they have to show
after all these years of toll is dire
poverty, distress and deprivation
of everything that other citizens
term necessities.
The last General Assembly
gave a great deal Of considera-
ton to the subject and finally en-
acted law Act No. 245 Of 1910,
which protects lake. shrimp" dur
ing 6 weeks Of the 10 weeks of the
breeding season. Even this small
measure Of protecting was assail-
ed by the fishermen, and to cap
the climax, the Good Government
League in their platform demand
the repeal of "Foolish restrictions
on the catch and sale of shrimp.
(meaning thereby lake shrimp,)
which do not breed in our water"
This declaration that lake /
shrimp do not breed here is made
in the face Of the scientific fact
that every female lake shrimp
found in our bays and lakes be-
tween the 18th day of May and
the 18th day Of July carries in her
egg sac anywhere from 5000 to
80, 900 mature eggs, the larger por-
ton of which would hatch out
and become young shrimp and lat
er on a marketable edible and val
liable commodity.
There are Is species of shrimp
found in the waters of the State
only 4 Of which are of any i'm
portancc. The first is Of course !

known as "Penaeus setiferus',
the largest and most important |
species. commercially, found in
our waters.

for the reason the fishermen often

Habits of the Lake Shrimp.

which are constantly moving about
from place to place, frequently
found in large 'schools. Lake
Shrimp are found only near the
coast, and seldom, if over. enters

extreme timidity, it is very difficult
to make observations on their
habits-or even to keep track of
their movements.
Anatomical Description.
Although this form is very we'll
known to the fishermen along the
coast and in the markets, it is nee
essarily more unfamiliar to those
residing in the interior parishes Of
the State. For that reason, as
well as to render the more techni-
cal references understandable
brief description of some of the
main anatomical features will be
necessary.
The body is very much compress
ed, giving an extremely slender
appearance. 1t is covered with
firm. tough outer skin, or shell,
which corresponds to that of the
common market crab. although it
never becomes as hard and firm
as it does in the latter form. The
body is composed Of two main reg
ions, the anterior head region and
the posterior tail or abdomen.
The latter is composed Of several

COMES TO ALASKA.

Well informed Russian subjects are responsible for the statement, which has never before appeared in print, that Russia has never receiv- ed one penny of the purchase price which the United States paid that country for this vast domain. Uni der the terms of the sale the Unit ed States agreed to pay the sum of $7 100000 for Alaska. Russia re- served within Alaska certain Greek church properties. The Greek church is the established, or government, church of the Russian empire. In order to maintain this religion in Alaska, under the American occupa- tion, the Russian authorities placed the $7.200000 on deposit in St
 Petersburg bank. and the interest thereon pays the running expenses of the various Greek churches i'll this territory. II can be used for no other purpose.
