IF We GOULD SEE YOU
FACE To FACE.

If we could see you face to face,
We could prove to you beyond the
shadow Of a doubt the advantages Of
the famous Byrne practical bookkeep-
ing and business training and sim
plified shorthand We could show
you clearly how it is that we can
turn out a better stenographer or
bookkeeper, and do it in three
months less time than when we used
to teach the systems now being used
in other schools. This saving OF
three months time means much to
the prospective student; at a conser-
vatiye salary Of $50 per month, the
three months time would amount
to $3.50, and three months board at s12
per month would amount to $36, or
a total saving of $3.50, to say moth
ing of the fact that the student Of
our school gets three months practi-
cal experience, while the student of
the other school is just finishing his
course. and has no experience.
We have hundreds Of graduates
holding the very best positions to be
found in our larger cities. We have
more calls for our graduates of book
keeping and Shorthand or telegraphy
than We are able to supply. You
may enter with us at any time; our
work is practically all individual in
struction. Thorough preparatory
work in English branches is given
free. Write for catalogue; make
your arrangements to enter at once,
SO that we may soon have the pleas
ure Of placing you in a good position.

Catholic Colony to Farm Near
Naichez,

Bishop John e. Gum, of the
Natchez diocese, while on business
trip to New Orleans, had the pleas
who were there in the interest of the
Catholic Colonization Bureau, which
has its headquarters in Chicago, says
the Picayune. These three priests
are Reys. Andrew =spetz, C. r., treas
urer OF the bureau; Rev. J. d. La
pIante, a foreign colonization worker,
and Rev. J. S. Boisvert, G. s. ",
the soil expert for the society, who
holds degrees in civil engineering ane
chemistry,
They have been visiting through
Texas in the interest of their work,
but have recently returned from
Natchez, where they We're amazed at
the wonderful possibilities Of the soil
around that section of the country.
With thQghearty cooperation of Bish-
op Gum, who will assist them in
every possible way, they will within
about sixty days have fifty farmers
from the north and west settle down
on fertile tract eleven miles from
ISdGCH0Z, sOu Tie i daJo dllu iIlSS1SoL1
pi Valley Railroad. This place has
not as yet been named.
Bishop Gum, in heartily lndorsing
the proposition, will enlist the ser.
vices of the Natchez Board of Trade,
and viii see to it that good man is
put at the head Of the scheme. It is
especially accented by the bishop tina
it will not be for Catholics only, but
rather for all classes who come rec,
commended by the Chicago end OF
the society who will till the soil and
help in the general welfare and pros
perity of the state.
The New Orleans market will bene
fit materially by the establishing OF
the colony, ina a.nuch as the colonists
will have an outlet for their produce.
Bishop Gum, on the part Of the
Catholic priests and citizens OF
Natchez, will be at the station to
greet the farmers, and will give them
all the information and help necessary
in the building Of their new homes.
He is Of the opinion that that sec
ton of the Natchez country opens up
uRimited possibilities for develop
ment, and the establishing Of the
colony there will do more toward
bringing same to. the notice Of the
whole country.

mo enterprise offers more promise
d great benefit to the agricultural
Output of the country than the pro-
ject Of reclamation of southern
swamp lands, now under discussion
by civic organizations of Mississippi
valley cities. 1t is not improbable
that some concerted movement will
shortly be started which will in time
accomplish this work, either through
the government appropriation or
through private financing. Promise
Of reward seems sufficient to warrant
the use of public money Or to invite
private enterprise.
Some beginning has been made in
the loWlands surrounding the Missis-
sippi river between New Orleans and
the Gulf Large tracts have been
shut in by dykes and an area of 25,-
900 acres formerly under water for
many months every year has been
drained and is being rapidly put I'M
der cultivation. About 5000 acres
have been sold to northern settlers,
and the reports Of the crops raised
read like fairy tales. Two or three
crops per year are being produced,
and the return per acre is beyond
any record made in any other section
oiahe country. The rich alluyial soil
will grow vast variety of produce
and in such profusion that profits of
$3.50 to $500 an acre per season are
considered only ordinary.
This is but a beginning Of the pos
sibilities of production these lands
possess. Investigation on the part
of those Interested lead to the state
ment that there are in the south at
least 50,000,00 acres Of land as rich
as that III the valley of the Nile,
easily feciaimable at an expenditure
entirely insignificant in comparison
to its value to the nation. Lands
that for cons have received their
yearly deposits of the top soils Of
higher chimes are fertile almost be-
yond Imagination.
Public policy demands that waste
lands be made productive. Already
we are suffering from the dispropor-
tomato ratio of growth between the
eaters and the producers Of food.
Any enterprise which brings into cul-
tivation large tracts of fertile lands
should be worthy of the attention
not only of economists but of states
men, if there be any such in public
life High cost Of living cannot be
cured by legislation SO long as the
weight of pressure is on the buying
side. It is far wiser to go to tbs
bottom O. the problem and strive to
remedy the unfortunate relation ex-
listing between supply and demand
than to grow hoarse voeiferating
against the trusts.-Wall Street Jour
nal.

Since the last issue of the Bulletin,

building of the St. Elmo &1sslle Hell

pleted from the st. Elmo station site
to a point some several hundred feet
west Of kraemar station. AS soon as
transactions now pending for the
right-ofWay through several big tracts
have been completed, Contractor
HoWell's forces will push the work
On through TO the present terminus
Of the Belle Helene line.
The charter of the company, which
has just been received from the COM
pany's legal representatives, Messrs.
Foster, Milling, Brian and Saal, Of
New Orleans, is being published in
this issue of the Bulletin. The char
ter will also appear in the Donald
sonyille Chief and the AlgiSrs Herald.
AS will be seen, this charter confers
upon the company the right of emf
nent domain, under which it is en-
| powered to exporprlate through the
usual legal processes all property re-
CURED from rights.of-Way, terminals,

and the territory above have not had
the benefit Of freight service by
railroad. nor have they had any
means of shipping their cane econom-

Engineer B. A. Webb, when asked
for an expression OF opinion as to
the date OF commencement of train
service on the road, stated that in
his opinion the middle of January
would be about the time when service
could begin, Weath@a conditions, he
said, were favorable now and there
seemed to be no prospect of a bad
season between this time and Janu-
ary, and such being the case the

5Ge week and brought to a compile

year.
Parties of st. Elmo lot-oWners and
