| had an interesting chat
With Mr.. w. N. Lowrie, Gen.
eral Eastern Passenger Agent
of the Great Northern Railway
Company and also of the
Northern Steamship company,
some time ago.
He talked to me about the
Oregon Short Line, which is
owned jointly by the Great
Northern and the Northern
Pacific Railways. This new
road opens up a territory of
THlRTY-FlNE MILLION
ACRES. 1t is 100 miles in
length, and IT WILL DO
WONDERS for this hereto
fore undeveloped territory.
The line, as completed to
Bend, Ore, REPRESENTS
AN EXPENDITURE OF
ABOUT StO,OOO,OOO, or a.
cost of S62,5 500 PER MILE
OVER Si1 for every foot of
the way.
Just think of it! Think Of
THIS VAST SUM OF
MONEY having been expend-
ed to develop a territory like
this in an unsettled section OF
this wonderful country.
To operate this $50 miles of
road successfully WILL RE-
QUlRE SKILFUL MANAGE
MENT and GOOD ADVER-
Using. But who DOUBTS,
ITS SUCCESS when thirty
five million acres of land are
now opened to the settler?
How will they interest new
settlers? By ADVERTISING,
OF COURSE.
The public must admire the
enterprise of the great rail
roads of the cOuntry-how
THEY DEVELOP and EN-
RICH the country. The peo-
pie do appreciate, as they
never did before, the manage
ment of the railroads because
they have been told, in educa-
tional advertising, Just what
the management has been try.
ing to do.
Railroads were misun6rr-
stood for a long time, THAT
WAS BECAUSE THEY DID
NOT ADVERTISE IN A.
FRANK WAY. They printed

CnanGe, nut when they cor

vertising, how great was the.

State Committee to Meet October 8.

State Committee to Meet October 3.
Under the primary election law the
Democratic State Central Committee
will meet ON Tuesday, Oct 3. to fix
the date of the first and second pri-
maries.
The meet will be held at the con-
vention hall of the GrunwaId Hotel
at IL noon. Secretary RS. Landry
mailed copies of the call to members
of the committee all over the State.
The committee will select a date
for the first. primary not less than
seventy nor more than ninety days
prior to the general election Under
the constitution the general election
occurs on the first Tuesday after the
third Monday The first Monday is
April 1, the third April Is. The
general election, therefore. will be on
April 16.
The first primary will probably lie
held on Jan. %; the second four
weeks later.
One of the matters which the com
mittee will probably act ON by re-
solution is that of second primary
for the candidates for the Thornton
succession in the event that Sanders,
Broussard nor Pujo, is elected on The
| first.
Under the amendment to the pri-
mary law if the Governor is nOmi-
mated in the first by a majority,
there is no second primary for other
State officers, those obtaining plu-
rality on the first being declared the
nominees. Ii the Governor fails ol
nomination then the second primary
includes also the subordinate officers.
Senators was not specifically men
toned in the amendment, and there
has been some division of opinion as
To whether the Senatorial candidates
would be required to enter a second
primary if there was no result on the
first.
1t is understood that prior to the
converting of the committee, State
Chairman Estopinal will ask Attor
ney General Guion to prepare an
opinion on the subject for the guild
ance of the committee. 1t is tnkeI
for granted that the Attorney Gene
raj will rule that second primary
for Senators must be held whatever
the result of the first primary fol

Important to Railroad Settlers
Official Notice of Action to be Taken by Government
and instruction Given to Persons Interested in
the Notorious Backbone Land Grant.

New Orleans Pacific Railway
Company to the lands acquired
under its grant, many people
having the impression that all
the lands approved or patented
to this Company are to be recon-
veyed to the Government and
placed within the public domain
and become subject to homestead
entry.
A great many applications have
been filed recently, at the United
States Land Office at Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, on railway
lands and the officers of the land
office are informed that a number
of people have "squatted" on
still other of the railway lands;
all these home seekers appear to
be confident that they can hold
the lands on which they have
made application, or as squatters.
The Act under which the Rail
Road Grant was made, especially
provides that any lands within
the limits of the grant that were
in the possession of and being
cultivated and improved by act
ual settlers at the time of selec-
ton of the lands by the Railway
Company, were not to be included
in the approved or patented list.
In some instances errors were
made and lands were approved
and patented to the Railway Com
pany that did not properly belong
to it under the terms of its grant;
much of the lands enormously
obtained in this manner, have
been reconveyed to the Govern
ment and subsequently home
steaded by the settlers, many
cases are still pending, and it is
to determine the status of these
lands that the above noted suit
| is brought.
There were still other lands err
roneously approved to the N. O.
Pacific Railway Company for
which the settlers have never set
up claim. All who are now &C.
Copying railway lands who were
in possession of and cultivating
the same themselves or their
authors) at the time of the selec-
ton by the Railway Company,
and who have had constant and
uninterrupted possession to the
present time, should at once
make Homestead application GOV.
ering the land they occupy.
Such application must be made
to the United States Land Office,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and
kmust be accompanied by suffi.

on the total area of the entry
Where the entry covers fraction

entry is in excess of 160 acres

United States Government look
ing to a settlement of the contro-
versy of hundreds of settlers with
the N. O. Pacific Railway Com
pany over their homesteads on
what is VIGOROUSLY known as the
Backbone Land Grant. 1t there
fore gives us great pleasure to
present to our readers the fol-
lowing correspondence and infor-
nation, showing that our efforts
have at last met with recognition,
and that the United States At
torney General at last wakes up
and gives official notice that he
is going to take action looking to
an early trial and final disposition
of this matter. We certainly
hope this great injustice which
the Government has permitted to
drag along for a quarter of a
century is at last to be righted.

Pacific Railway Company ct ais,
instituted by the United States
for the recovery of the title to
certain lands in the Baton Rouge

By letter dated August 10,

was his intention to take action
looking to an early trial and final
disposition of this suit.
It was his desire to have some
notice given by the Government
to the effect that no more tracts

the parties seeking such actor
