St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1911-02-11

not long, the way dape flies, till
the campaign opens, then the
election and finally the fnstaIla-
ton of a new set of officers; a
new government as it were.
Those on the outside are always
busy after the ms; our guns have
been trained in that direction
quite a bit. Every four years
those who lose out in the fight
get busy a few months before
the election in exposing the sins,
the short comings and mistakes
of those that won. We can point
out with an unerring pen the
errors of the ms from the begin
ming and show how they might
have been avoided.
This is natural, it is in keeping
with the beam in your eye and a
mote in your brothers. It has
ever been thus. It is of charity,
brotherly love and a for
giving spirit of which we are all
short. Of course it is an easy
matter for any of us to look on
and see the defects and misgiv-
ings.

Natural Gas In 1909 and 1910.

The production of natural gas
in the United States in 1909, as
ascertained by a joint canvass
made by the United States Geo
logical Survey and the Bureau of
the Census, is estimated by B.
Hill, in charge of this work, I'M
der the supervision Old. T. Day,
to have been $55, 00O, 900, an in
crease of only about 1857, 626
over that of 1908. There were
no great changes in the industry
during the year, the production
continuing to decline in Kansas,
and an increase being made in
Oklahoma and in the Caddo field
in Louisiana and in Texas. An
interesting feature was the sup
plying of Fort Worth and Dallas
from the gas fields of Clay
County, Texas. For the year
1910 the total production is esti-
mated at $57, 600, 900, an increase
of about So, 900, 600 over 1909.
During 1910 a feature of great
interest was the development of
what promises to be a very large
supply of natural gas in the
Buena Vista Hills, Kern County,
Cal, east of the Sunset-McKit-
trick oil field. Arrangements
were made and practically COM
pleted during the year for piping
this gas to Bakersfield and other
towns in San Joaquin Valley.

No wonder scores of Opelousas citi-

Our hours all told, are too
very few.
To linger a while; to hold her
hand;
To watch her smile: Il IN

For the smiles that spread, and
the dimples that show,
Alike are read, by others, / troW.
And if her smile for mes the
same,
And another's guile, then what's
the gain?
What have / to win or lose,
When another's presence, she'd
as leave choose?
Have I not so often heard:
That a Woman's will is not
her word.
She'll give the last, with that
ease and grace;
Of the mirroWed glare that
reflects her face.
To-day It's Hart; tomorrow Ben,
The next day Bart and then,
Back to the first and then the
second.
The third is worst and she can
hardly reckon"
How'll she spend the days long
space,
Unless other men enter the race.
The first "Old Hart-well! he
might do,
Ii his part he only knew.
And then there's Ben, he's
rather slow,
And would not spend all I could
blow.
The other, we'll, he's all the go,
But he's under my spell, and
this I know.
mo! none of these, not one of
the three;
The one I want, no longer wants

Mansfield Enterprise: We re-
gret to announce that the truck
farmers of this vicinity have de-
cided to plant no Irish potatoes
for shipment this season. In
1909 the venture was a profitable
one, but last year the price was
low, the season bad, and it was
altogether a losing venture, so
there is to be no united effort in
this direction this year. A few
farmers will plant for the the
local market, but no potatoes
will be shipped from Mansfield
this year. We guess II cent cot
ton has also been a factor in the
matter.

SUBSCRIBER RESPONSE.
Bile FOR PAYMENT
OF MESSAGES SENT
FROM HIS IN
STRUMENT,

A decision that each subscriber
is responsible for the payment
of charges for all messages
sent over the telephone was
rendered at Atlanta, Ga, by
Charles J. Dougherty, Esq, sit
ting as Special Judge, in the
case of R. d. Goss VS.. Southern
Bell Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany. The plaintiff sued to re
cover damages for the alleged
wrongful removal of one of his
telephones from his office in
Birmingham, Ga.
Mr.. Goss was a subscriber of
the company, and received a bill
for exchange rental and long dis
lance charges to the amount of
$50. He offered his check in
payment Of the exchange rental
charges claiming that the long
distance messages were sent out
by other persons than himself.
He was informed by the company
that his check for rental would
be accepted, but his station
would be barred from further
long distance service unless the
toll charges were paid. The
plaintiff refused to allow this to
be done, and withdrew his check.
After his bill had run another
month, his telephone was re-
moved, and he brought suit for
The court rendered judgment
in favor of the telephone COM
pany on it's plea for recoupment
for the unpaid exchange rental
and long distance charges, hold
that the company was justi-
fed in removing the telephone,
and that the plaintiff was liable
for the message even if sent by
a person other than himself.
Said the court: IF a sub
scriber could, under the law,
allow his telephone to be used
Unfortunately by the public
himself becoming liable
to pay the charges for such ser
vice, not only would the tele-
phone company suffer great loss,
but it's ability to properly serve
the public, would be greatly inn
paired, if not totally destroyed.
This is too evident to need COM

er, and that of the members of

Donalnsonville Chief: Oh, the
ingratitude of republics! Alas,
the insufferable tyranny of Dem
ocratic majorities! Congressman
Robert F. Broussard-every-
body's Cousin Bob"-has been
metaphorically spanked and in
continently kicked off the ways

low Democrats merely because
he posed as a Democrat in Louis

in Washington. Are such things

Jena Times: John NJ. Parker
of New Orleans, in discussing
for publication what he termed
the State ring, said: "A chain
is only as strong as the weakest
link. The State ring is in reality
a chain composed of a few big
men, plenty of little men and
some very big small men," Mr..
Parker could have remarked also
that the Good Government
Leagues chain is composed of
men of just about the same
calibre, only it is composed of
links not yet welded together.

Jena Times: Speaking of the
value of this States cut over
lands, the Lumber Trade Journal
points out the fact that the larg-
est yield Of corn per acre was
grown on the cut-over hill lands
of Washington parish, and it is
noted by the same journal that a
net profit of $500 was realized
from one acre planted in straw
berries on the same kind of soil.
LaSalle has thousands Of acres of
just such lands, which can be
made to yield handsome profits
for any man, who has the energy
and will go after it.

The police of Shreveport have

Shreveport policemen for general
obtuseness and narrowness of

paths through the snow drifts
so that they can get out to the

Increase i ak Assessments
On Railroads Of State

sessed last year.
The Coal & Coke remains at what il
was last years.. 100000. There were
"a number OF roads assessed separate
y in 1910 that this year are included
in some other line. These roads and
their assessed valuation were: Potom-
"c Valley railroad. $4,000: Raleigh &
southwestern railway. 5000. 900:
Lewisburg & ROnceverte Electric
railway. s37.550; and the Interior &
West Virginia railroad. 100000.
Expect Big Increase.
While all the properties assessed
by the Board of Public Works have
not been certified TO the state audi
tor. there is every reason 10 believe
the valuation of the public utilities for
the year 1911 was greatly in excess Of
that OF 1910. when the amount was
S2S2.Si5.96l. The increase in the val
uatiOn of the railroads this year. how.
ever. was not as Ereat as IL was last
year over 1903. when il was STAG
t".'. as against S692.212 this year over
1910
The valuation Of the water. light
and power companies. express com
panies. etc. will likely be ready 10 20
out in "a day or two. but IL will prob
ably be several days before the valua.
lions OF the oil and gas companies.

can be certified and become public.
