down to Baton Rouge this week to see
the Governor in behalf of the re-appoint-
ment of Hon. j. T. Mcclellan, of Madi-
son parish, as member bf the new Leyee
Board. The delegation was joined at
Baton Rouge by Mr.. A. f. Green. While
the Governor made no promise in the
matter, the delegation is very much in
hopes that Mr.. Mcclellan will be named
as a member OF the new Leyee Board, as
his retirement from the Board at this
particular time, when the services of an
able and experienced leader are so vital
ly essential to succesn of the leyee sys
tenn, would be regarded as a public ca
lamity, as no man in North Louisiana il
better fitted for the work or more famil
lar with the situation throughout the en-
tire district, its needs and general welfar
as Mr. Mcclellan.

The announcement in the daily
papers last week to the effect
that the Hines Lumb Der company
have purchased a mill at Fort
Francis, Canada, and that the
company would move one OF
their Wisconsin mills to the
Canadian city has caused con-
siderable worry in the towns
where the mills are located for
fear that their plant will be
moved. At the present time the
Hines Lum Der comany is oper-
ating mills at Mason, Iron River
and Hayward. The log supply
at all three places is about ex-
hausted and at any rate the raills
cannot continue to be operated
for any length of time unless
the timber holdings are added
to. The mill at Mason is rather
out of date and it is not likely
that tLat plant will be moved.
The mill at Iron River is a re-
built plant and IL in good shape
and the Hayward mill is almost
modern, so that it rests between
the two places which one will
lose their mill. Hayward and
Iron River are largely dependent
upon their mills to keep business
up and the loss of the saw mill
to either place would be felt very
keenly.

TREAsURERs WITHOUT PAY
Fees Abolished by Law and
Town Boards do not
fix Salary.

According to a law passed at
the last session of the legisla-
lures, all town treasurers shall
receive as a compensation for
his services including collection
of taxes, a salary instead of a fee
and the town boards are author
lied to fix the salaries at the
next town meeting which salary
shall be in lieu of all fees.
Further than this, taxes not
paid before February first shall
be subject to penalty of two
per cent on the amount of tax,
which penalty shall be collected
by the town treasurer and paid
in the treasury together with
taxes. AS this law is interpret.
ed, the town treasurers cannot
charge a fee for collection of
taxes before February first.
This is in force at the present
time and while town treasurers
are adding the fees under the
old law in many cases, it is un-
doubtedly due to ignorance of
the new provision of the statutes.
The question now is, how will
the town treasurers elected last
spring at town meetings, be paid
for their services when no salary
was fixed at that meeting? The
law says plainly that they are
not entitled to the former fees
for collection of taxes. Ashland

Old Settlers Banquet Has
8 All Others Climaxed
Will go Down in History as
one of the Best Events
Ever Held in City

The first annual banquet given by
the Pioneer Association at the Mason
ic hall on Monday evening of this
week will be one long to be remem-
bered by those present and it will 60
down in history as being one of the
most notable events that has ever
taken place in the history of the city.
The Pioneer Association was formed
some time ago and its members con-
sist of all who have resided in the
city prior to January lst, 1887, to-
gether with the husbands and wives
of the members. The association
was formed principally for the pur-
pose of getting together and having
good time at least once year and
good start was made Monday even
ing. The committee who had charge
of the work of arranging for the affair
are entitled to good deal of credit
for it could not have been pulled of
more successfully.
The banquet tables were arranged
in the dance hall, covers being laid
for ninety, and almost every place
was filed. The tables were piled
high with turkey, potatoes, bread
like mother makes. cranberry sauce,
rolls, pickles and many other things
to eat when the guests took their
seats at eight o'clock. The appetites
of the old settlers seemed to have
been increased with che twenty-five
years that they have resided in Wash
burn and for fully hour the feast
lasted. Dan Corning, Bill Burns,
Judge Warden and a few others hold
ing their own with any of those pres
ent.

FRUIT SHIPPERS
May Form an Association
for Handling Products.
Plan is Being Talked up BY
the Farmers of This
Vicinity.

A movement is on foot to organize
a fruit shippers association in the city
and undoubtedly by next spring such
an association will be formed. The
matter was brought up at the last
meeting of the Commercial Club and
committee appointed to confer with
the farmers who will meet at the
Club rooms on Saturday afternoon
and the subject will be thoroughly dis
cussed. The Horticultural society
will also take the question up lat
their next meeting which will be held
during the middle part of this month.
The time has come when more
fruits and farm products are being
grown in this section than can be sold
in the loca markets and with this
season shipments will have to be
made to outside points. Every far
mer should interest himself in the
movement and do all in his power to
promote such an association. As the
conditions now exist the farmers of
this section do not raise sufficient pro-
duce to market it separately but with
all combined there would be plenty
to ship in large quantities. The plan
as talked over is to form co-opera-
tive association with each OF the
members as stockholders. The plan
is to place the shares of the stock SO
low that every farmer can be mem
Der. The association handles the
produce, charging small commission
for doing SO and the profits derived in
this manner can be used for erecting
buildings, etc. By having such an
association the farmer will get more
out of his farm products and at the
same time share in the profits.
Cooperative organizations of this
kind have been formed at different
points in the state and nearly all have
been a decided success from the start.
At the beginning building could be
rented in the city and as the associa-
ton gets on better footing build
ing could be erected.

The French Label.

From the New York World
Paris labels, imported in neat bundles.
to be sewn on hats and dresses made in
New York, are coming through the GUS
tom house in ever-increasing quantities.
The names of the great French milllners
and dressmakers can be bought any day
by dealers in this city and used In the
form of gilt letters on a scrap Of silk to
'tone up garments and hats created" no
farther east than Avenue \. In fact even
the Paris labels themselves are now made
here and tie big names counterfeited to
save the cost and bother of importing
them.
After all, We deserve this sort of fraud
Why give way to an absurd weakness and
worship for every scrap of silk and lace
that purportS TO come from the fingers
of Partisan dressnaker? Why this eter-
nal infatuation for things made IN
Paris? For the few articles that really
cannot be found at their best anywhere
save i'm the French capital, We make hun
dreds and thousands i'm this country that
are quite as good and tasteful as any
thing imported from Europe. Why should
it need a French label to sell them? w ~
not give our own country the credit OF
these articles and admire them the moreF
