All male citizens between the ages of
21 years and go years except those ex-
empt by law are liable to a poll tax of
One Dollar each. A capitation tax of
so cents each is to be paid on all dogs.
The law prescribes that all male citi-

years must pay $500 communication tax
or work six days on the public roads.
As this is optional with the Individual,
no Communication tax is included in the

Proposed Memorial to Congress.

Mr.. T. 0. Hart, Representa-
tive elect from Grant parish to
the Louisiana Legislature, has
published in the Pollock Progress
a joint resolution which he pro-
poses to introduce to have the
Legislature memorabilia Con-
gress, to give, by appropriate
legislation, authority to the Sec
rotary of the Interior to take up
and speedily settle > = + all con-
tests between the settlers and
the railroad company, *'* = and
to issue to the settlers patents
for their lands. !"
Mr.. Hart asks for suggestions
from any one in regard to the
proposed legislation on the SUBJ
ject. Taking him at his word,
we will suggest that it appears
to us Mr.. Hart should go a little
further in his proposed bill, and
especially provide for the in
Identifying of settlers for timber
removed from lands by the rail-
road or their assigns. His pro-
posed resolution says nothing
about timber. This is going to
be the real gist of the controversy
whenever the matter comes be-
fore Congress. If something is
not done to settle this question it
seems likely to be referred back
to the courts, and the old-time
delay may be repeated.

ThouQhtfulnese,

1t Is a pleasant bit Of thoughtful.
ness which many hostesses show In
leaving reading matter on the table of
their guest room. A guest Is frequent.
ly not accustomed to the same hours
of rising and going to bed as prevail
in the house where she is visiting.
She may have habit Of early rising
or Of sleeplessness. or she may have
merely short time in her room with
nothing to do, when she does not wish
to go down stairs or elsewhere to OBJ
tain books. At such a time q new
book, an interesting magazine or two
would prove most grateful. It is not
necessary to have a whole guest room
bookcase. One or two well-chosen
books will serve the purpose quite as
well. 1t is a distinct compliment to a
guest to have put enough thought into
her tastes and interest to be able to
offer her just the book or just the ar
ticle which she would wish to read.
While this is not always possible. with
the best intentions, something bright,
readable and new will rarely go amiss.

There is but one item in its creed,
and that is this: Il believe in
the prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic." Every man, woman and
child who believes this may rea-
sonably be expected to cooperate
with the League. No wonder
liquor fears it. If we lay aside
our differences and act unitedly
upon this question we are sure to
win, and we can win very soon.
"A Saloonless Louisiana" is our
next goal post. Let everybody
in the State, of all creeds and
parties, who want to reach that
goal, cooperate with the League,
which has no aim except to be
your sword and mouth-piece on
this question.
AS Field Secretary, l want to
thank the pastors and the church
people for their pulpits and their
audiences. The churches ought
to covet an opportunity to c.
operate with us in this work.
There is certainly no enemy OF
the church more dangerous than
the liquor traffic.
Can we not, through the Lea
que, present a solid front against
liquor? JAS. A. CHRISTIAN.

what is an Arpent of Land?

Some years ago, when Mr.. R.
E. Mcknight was a cadet at the
Louisiana State University
studying civil engineering, and
Mr.. G. H. Mcknight was young
in the survey business, the Colfax
Chronicle was asked, what is
an arpent of land?" We called
the Meningitis into consultation
over the question, and, after
writing to several eminent pro-
fessors in the various colleges,
we found that very few of them
knew what constitutes an arpent
of land. So we had to fall back
on Webster's Unabridged die
tionary for information on the
subject. The inquiry ha vim G
come up again of late, we again
refer to Webster for an answer
to the question. He gives us the
following definitions:
Arpent French,::a Gallo word
Formerly a portion of land
French, ordinarily containing 100
square rods or perches, each of
18 feet, or 900 square toises,
equal to 4088 square yards, or
nearly five-sixths of an English
acre. This is the arpent of Par
is. The a0oodland arpent con-
tains CLOS square yards, or about
l acre, l rood, l perch, English.
Written also arpen.]
Acre-A piece of land contain
ing 100 square rods or perches,
or 1910 square rods, or 43, $50
square feet. This is the English
acre. That of the United States
is the same. The acre of Scot
land contains 6104. 128 yards.
Thus we see the apparent diff
ference between an English acre
(4S40 square yards) and a French
arpent (4OS8 square YARDS to be
752 square yards. But what the
exact difference is no man seems
to be able to figure. out exactly,
because of the difference between
the arpent of Paris and the wood
land arpent. And thus the mat
ter has stood for two or three
hundred years, and every fellow
has the liberty to figure it out to
suit himself.

Just inside of the eastern gate
of the Colfax cemetery there
stands on the left hand side a
Bois dare tree some eight or ten
inches in diameter. This tree is
growing on the spot that marks
the grave of Parish, one of the
victims of the Colfax riot. About
twenty years ago the body of
Parish was removed from a point
north of here where the Colfax
hardwood mill now stands, the
caving bank at that point being
about to take a number of graves
into Red river. The intention at
that time was to erect a monu-
