Reclamation of Louisi-
ana Land,
s. P Freight Agent Lal ande Tells
Of Fine Farms in making,

"The actual work of reclainlne
the lands of Louisiana. aud particu,
iarly those among portions of the
Southern Pacific lines In this state, is
a revelation to me, said Mr.. Joseph
LalIande, assistant general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific, who
has returned from business triE
over the road.
"People outside of the state hear a
great dear about land being purchas
ed that will be reclaimed, but they
don't hear much about what is ac
tuaIly reclaimed or is beiog reclaim
ed. We get letters very often saying
that persons have heard of Louisi
ana lands chat will be reclaimed and
asking it any such land las been re.
claimed as a matter of fact.
cit is remarkable how much of
this reclamation work is actually GO
ing on which tie people know abso-
lutely nothing, and which means SO
much to Louisiana. There are three
great projects,of this nature on our
road in the vicinity of D'Allemandes,
Lafourche parish, where the reclama-
ton work is actually in progress on a
most expensive scale, and can be
seen from the passing trains. One
of these is the Louisiana Meadows
Company's property of about 10000
acres. Another is the St. Charles
Land Company property of about
$1,000 acres, and the third is the Jul
luis Fink property consisting of
about $1,000.

 One of the most important bodies in Alabama, if not the most important, is the Railroad Commission. It is thro' the commission that all important differences between the peepul, and the railroads air arbitrated, and settled. The Peepul and the railroads constitute all there is of Ala bama. Take them out, and little is left When the commission was first creeated 1t was looked upon, by most peepul, as well as the railroads as a joke-as 1t is today, the commission is about as much of joke as a protested note-the com mission of today, is composed of men who expect to see to it that a fare and square deel is given the peepul, and at the same time, that the railroads air not imposed upon, and these air there reel funcktions, and it should be so. Just as the commission has becum sumthing wurth while: just as they air beginning to be recognized as the peepuls forum and at the same time to be sumwhat ap- presiated by the railroads themselves and just at the time when importent mat ters of rates effecting menny of the pee pull air to be considered just at this time, the administration suddenly be-

SCHEME FOR DEFENSE
 OF SOUTH AFRICA

Cape Town, March 25.-(SpeciaD-In the South African Union Parliament Gem eral Shuts has outlined his scheme for home defense, and set forth three main points. The first is the provision of small striging forces, easily mobilised, on the basis of the existing Cape Mount ed Rifles. These forces would perform police duties in peace and would be equipped with their own artillery. The difficulty to this system would be the provision of a reserve for war time. Secondly, General Shuts indicated the establishment of citizen forces on the line of Lord Kitcheners Australian uni versal service scheme. He proposed d- vidng the Union into districts, superin- tended by instructional officers with the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. Enlistment is to be voluntary where pos sible, otherwise by ballot.
 Regarding the coast defences, General Shuts indicated that considerable sums be manned partly by Imperial troops of Capetown and Durban, which would be manned partly by Imperial troopc, ultimately paid by South Africa, and partly by South Africans. He paid the highest tribute to Lord Methuen and called him almost a Boer himself" which evoked loud Nationalist cheers. He anticipated the eventual withdrawal of the Imperial troops including re- serves, would at no distant date be 100000 strong.

judges is rong, and adds one moor to the mistakes of the present incumbint. In the language of one of the com missioners to be one of that body now is mans job, questions involving menny thousands of dollars cum befour them evvery munth, and they must render decisions that air far reaching in there effects. What is moor they must render them rite. To be unjust to the railroads would be moor harm full, if possible than to be unjust to the peepul, for 1t would stop develop ment, make hard times and frighten capital, which is alarmed eesy to frigh- ten, and retard the naturel development of our grate resources.
 It is proper then for the administra- sion to make a football of the comms- sion; must they be stuck off in sum cuddy hole so small that witnes in attempting to kiss the Bible mite kiss one of the commissioners; in room not large enough to hold one of the briefest kind of briefs. The peepul should demand of the administration, suitable quarters for the railroad com mission of Alabama.
 It mite be of equal importance that the appellate court should have large and roomy quarters, if so, provide them. it is just as eesy to get rooms for them as for the commissions; it would be no harder job for them to compress there importance and dignity into small space, as it would to compress the con- mission.
 We think the guverner, perhaps un- intentionally, has handed the comms- sion, and through them the peepul a box of lemons in this deal, and lemons from the same source air becumng too frequent; 1t has almost the appearance of habit with the guverner.
