PujO and Sugar

When in New Orleans few days
since Congressman Pujo declared
there can be no doubt that the
House will pass the sugar bill.
The Louisiana members, seven of
them, and five Democrats from Col,
orado, will be opposed to the meas
ure. The Republicans are expect
ed to be solidly against the bill, but
The combined Republican forces
with twelve Democrats will not be
able to overcome the majority OF
sixty three that the Democrats have
in the House. But, even with this
Ieertainity of passage of the bill by
1.-The House, there is no reason for
1.-THE sugar interests to fear the out
lcop?e, for it will be just as certain
Iy defeated in the Senate. Congress
man pujo said: Il think the income
tax bill will go through the same
|course." but he failed to explain his
reason in anticipating its defeat.

Weather and the Crops

New Orleans picayune, March IL:
The past week has been untaNOrablc
from a weather and crop standpoint.
There has been an abundance OF
rain all over the cotton belt, and
although in the western belt there
has been no special complaint, as
farm work had already been we'll
advanced, in the central and eastern
portions of the belt there was gen
eral dissatisfaction, because work
in the fields was practically inter
rupted and preparations for the new
crop are very backward. Although
the first week Of March is too early
to base any definite estimate of a
backward start upon, it is neverthe-
less a fact that in comparison with
last year preparations are very far
behind. It is true that after very
good start last year there was much
delay from an over-dry spring, and
it may yet happen that despite the
delay in the preparations of the
fields the present season. because
Of the fine season in the ground
may yet be fully up to the general
average should the weather i'm
prove from now on.
There is considerable complaint
up to the present time that the de
mand for fertilizers is behind that
last year to a considerable amount,
hut the backWardness Of the crop
preparations may account for that.
As far as acreage is concerned. there
does not appear to be any concert
ed agreement as to decrease. In the
cider sections of the belt there will
probably be some decrease in the
acreage seeded in cotton, but in the
western part of the belt the new
land put in cotton is apt to fully Off
set any decrease that may be resort
ed to in the older districts.
The acreage devoted to corn will
probably be as large as in recent
years, as the advantage of a good
&C IN crop has come to be more and
mCr3 appreciated in the South. Th"
rice acreage is pretty certain to be
IT creased, as il is not likely that any
surplus of The old crop will be car
lie dover into the new season.
In the sugar district of Louisiana
the weather has been more favor
able during the past week, and as a
consequence the amount of field
work done has been considerable.

CHURCH BLAMED
John G. WOOley Declares Entire
Lack of Courage to Support Con
victiOnS Is Only Obstacle to Anti
Saloon Victory.

New Orleans mes-DemOcrat,
March II: John G. Wooley, twice
the PrOhibitionists' candidate for
the Presidency Of the United States,
says that the Christian churches
are chiefly to blame for the slow
spread of prohibition. He made a
brief address in the Young Mems
Christian Aossociation auditorium
vest erday afternoon. So did DR.. u.
w. Eichelberger, superintendent OF
the Mississippi AntiSaloOn League.
Both spoke under the auspices of
the Louisiana Anti-Saloon League,
and S. A. Smith, superintendent of
that organization, presided.
"Christian men go on voting DEM
ocratic and Republican tickets" he
declared, land never bring their re-
ligion to the ballot box with them.
That is why prohibition hasn't gone
over the country as great wave.
The people who ind0rse it do not
put it into effect. The world is al
ready conquered for Christ, say,
and all needed for a demonstration
of the conquest is the bare bravery
by Christian men, to turn around
and assert themselves"
MIR. Wooley is national lecturer
for the anti-saloon leagues of the
country, and in this work has for
many years been engaged. He was a
candidate for the Presidency in 1910
and again in 1904, polling both times
larger votes than had Prihobition-
isl candidate ever before.
The responsibility for 'wipinG
away the liquor traffic" he laid
at the doors of the church, the peo-
pie in the churches, and the gov
arnment. He is persuaded that what
the church needs today is a until
arian mission.
DR.. Eichelberger and Superintend-
ent Smith made a plea for funds
help the Louisiana League carry on
its work, and made collection in
this behalf.

The Home and Good Housekeeping

Dodson Times: Good housekeep-
ing has more to do with domestic
happiness than young lovers dream
of. We believe these times need
women whose most beautiful work
will be done inside their own doors.
Without good housekeeping the 70
nance will soon go out OF marri-
age.
In the home should be found the
most delicate and refined society, as
here it is that we receive our first
land most influential lessons IN the
tgreat school of life. These lessons
should paPtake of perfect honesty
ltruthfulness, manhood, herolsm, pa.

GOAL CONSPIRACY
 |S BEING AIRED
Cases Of tho Government Against Bullock and Houston Are
 Now on Trial

Tacoma, Oct. 1.-The trial of John H. Bullock, charged with conspiring to defraud the govern ment in furnishing coal to the forts in'Alaska, charging the gov ernment S28 ton, while selling to the public for considerably less, is being tried in Tacoma be- fore Judge Cushman. The line of questions of the prosecution re- veal the intention of the govern ment to probe to the bottom and fix the blame on the "higher ups"
 Former Auditor Douglas testi- fled that Captain Jarvis had ad- mitted receiving S6.S0O from the Sesnon company, the. successful bidders. It is charged by the government that the Sesnon com pany and Guggenheims made a secret pact to submit a cOmbina- ton bid, the profits to be divided and that the $6,8O0 received by Jarvis was the half of the over charge.
 The evidence against Bullock is furnished by Douglas, who was formerly auditor of the North western s. s. Company, and who retained the vouchers of the com pany after his dismissal, and they are now produced at the trial ii the form of photograph copies oI the original.

Tacoma Jury Gives Mrs. Magnus- sen Verdict for Twenty-three
 Thousand Dollars

Tacoma, Oct. 2.--After a long trial, replete with sensations, the jury in the case of Mrs. Magnus- sen against Bishop O'Dea, of the Catholic church, Father Van Goe- them. Sisters of the Visitation and Attorney LeFevre, brought in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of S23,OOO, for having kidnapped her daughter, Marjorie Rieman.
 The defendants gave notice of appeal. Judge Card, who tried the case, charged the jury that lhe character of the plaintiff could only be considered by them as a mitigating circumstance: il was for them to decide whether Mar joric had been kidnapped and her affections alionatGd from her mother. With that question de- cidrd in the affirmative it was the duty of the jury to return a yer diet in favor of the plaintiff. The court room was crowded from the beginning to the close of the trial and much interest was manifested in the case.

THE GOLD YIELD
 IN THE KOYUKUK

The output of ile kOyukuk country thiS year will reach. in round numbers, s230, ,0OO. This Is the estimate made by Howard Turner, auditor for the x. C.. Co.,, who is here after having visited the district recently He says:
 Il was up the Koyukuk as far as Bettles, the last point at which the N. c. has a post. According to estimates which we received in the district, the output will be about s230.00o. To this might be add "h the Red Mountain or Hughes creek district. whiach will yield S25, ,O00 to S3O,OOO.
 The various creeks will yield this year, if is estimated, about as follows: Hammond, SiOO, ,OOO: Gold creek. $25,OOO: Minnie. Si,- 900: Vermont. $i2,OOO: Sheep, $500: Nolan. S5O,OO0: Union, S2,- 900: Emma. Si.OOO; Mascot. Si.- 900; Swift, $I,OOO: Wild, S2,5OO; total, si06,0OO. These figures, of course. arc only approximate.
 "The whole camp is spotted, and Hammond is deep as we'll as spotted. One or two drills are be- ing taken in for drilling this year.
 About $50 men are in the country. None are broke. Every one has little something. Only about t2 women are in the coun- try. Wiseman is the real town. One gasoline scow was used with success above Bettles this year, and another is being taken in this fall by Ed, Marson."

AFTER RAILROAD
 FOR LICENSE
Government Arc Going After tho Alaska Northern for LIcense
 Moneys

A. II. Wheatley, E. F. Davis and Ben R. Laberee have been sub poenaed to appear before the grand jury which convenes at Val dez in October, in connection with an alleged infraction of the li- cense tax law by the Alaska Nor thern railway company, with which they are connected in ar official capacity.
 It appears that the Alaska Cen tral Railway company was grant ed immunity for a period of five years, by special act of congress from the federal tax of $iOO per mile per annum on it's system, anC he wharfage tax of fen cents per ton. The Alaska Northern Rail way company, successor in inter- est to the Alaska Central Railway company, goes on the theory thai this immunity extends to it. Or the other hand, the government alleges that the special act ot congress had to do with the Alas ka Central Railway company alOne;; that the Alaska Northern Railway company can claim nc immunity under it. and that tho latter company has failed and re. fused to pay the license tax on in, road and the'wharf.
 The proceedings will come un- der inc criminal code. That is ir say, the government will seek t( obtain indictments against the re. spOnsible resident officials of tn, Alaska Northern Railway rom. pany. and then the case will com, lhrfnrr inc court on it's merits.
