Repairing DEPOT.
Frisco and Grounds to Be
Beautified in Short
While.

Work has already been started
on identifying the grounds
around the Frisco depot, as also
on repairing the passenger depot.
The building will be thoroughly
repaired and underlined in the
inside, whilst a new and up-to-
date fire-proof roof is being
erected.
The Frisco Railroad owns a
large lot surrounding the passen-
ger depot and it is the intention
of local officials to make a pretty
little park, in order to beautify
the grounds, as well as to adver-
tise the progressiveness and
beauty of Opelousas, since the
travellers will be able to view the
place from the daily trains.
In a few weeks the passenger
depot, which is only about five
years old, will look new again
the inside will be very pretty,
whilst the outside will be at

Missionary Notes
BY HI SOCIETY.

Do missions pay? The prov
ince in China, where so many
missionaries were massacred dur
ing the Boxer Movement, has
come to the missionaries offer
ing to turn over to.them the en-
tire charge Of the public school
system IN a large part of the
province. The government will
equip the school buildings and
make an annual grant of four
thousand taels. Full religious
liberty is insured, including the
teaching Of the Bible and the
Christian religion. How pitia-
BILE it is that the American Board
cannot commend the ten thou
sand dollars necessary to place
the workers in this promising
field!
A japanese statesman in an
address to seven or eight hum
dred students. spoke very favor
ably of the missionaries and
their schools and said that the
Christian religion was the main
spring of that civilization. He
expressed the neep conviction
that Japan's hope for the future
lay in reconciling the civilizations
of the East and West and in com
ing to have the best in each. To
that end he considered the pres
ence of such schools as ours and
the English and American mis-
sionary teachers to be the most
fortunate matter for Japan.

The ever optimistic, refresh
ing and altogether cheerful Pom
chatoula Democrat sees much
progress the state has made in
the past two years. It says:
THE people of Louisiana
should be ever thankful and
proud Of the way our state is
progressing the last two years.
Agriculture has been encouraged
and new agricultural implements
introduced"
Splendid! A picture all Of US
can enjoy. But if the question
is fair, who is responsible for it?
Certainly not the state. The
state Of Louisiana appropriates
less for agriculture and immigra-
ton than other Southern States,
and it is an uncontradicted fact
that for years those in charge OF
this most important department
of the state government have
been so handicapped for funds
that it has been impossible for
effective work to be accomplish
ed.
Let us not depend upon a few
lumber companies with cut-over
pine lands for sale, nor enter
prising land dealers, to advertise
the great state of Louisiana.
The people as a whole, through
the legislature, should see that
the state is properly exploited
and her manifold and almost in
exhaustible resources heralded to
the world. Lake Charles Daily
Times.
Not a residence for rent in the
town Of Ponchatoula. Not an
empty house in the town. Think
of it! Six months ago when The
Democrat started a campaign of
boosting and pulling for Poncha-
toula, there were a dozen resi-
dences for rent and several bust
ness houses. Through the prop
er use of printers ink, backed
up by the most ideal section of
Louisiana, newcomers have set
tied here every week.
Ponchatoula is not built on a
sand bank. Her business inter-
ests are sound, conservative and
trustworthy, and her agricuItu-
raj possibilities are unexceIled.

LOUISIANA PRESS OPINION

This community IS growing.
We need more houses to keep
step with the steady progress.
Surely our moneyed men will
not turn a deaf ear to the plead
ings of homeseekers. -Poncha-
toula Democrat.
One reason, perhaps, why
Louisiana does not rank higher
in wealth is due to its low rank
in education. It takes brains to
make population and resources
produce wealth.
Nature has abundantly blessed
Louisiana with resources. and if
our people will but do their duty
in providing the necessary INTEL
ligence to take advantage of
these factors, the State would
make aggressive and rapid
strides in it's industrial and agri-
cultural development in the pro-
duction of wealth.
Brains and intellectual power
have brought to humanity all of
its progress and all of it's bless
ings.
It is the power of the mind on
which civilization must depend
for its advance, and it is this
power that must be cultivated
by any community, state or ma
ton that would move forward,
Fostering and developing the
public school system will pave
the way for progress and the de-
velopment of wealth. Schools
and better educational facilities
must be provided for, and then
the enrolment must include
every child of school age

It is a curious fact that the
people who are the best off do
the most grumbling, and it holds
good in the case of Louisiana.
By utilizing the time and effort
we spend trying TO induce others
to come to Louisiana to do our
development work, we could do
it ourselves and obtain all the
financial returns. All Louisiana
needs is cheaper interest rates,
and we can get that by showing
what Louisiana land will pro-
duce if properly cultivated.

can do ourselves along that line,

words the principal sources Of

counters in reaching her fullest
development. They are sumrnar-
lied as follows:
Louisiana is a state too much
made up of calamity hoWlers.
Quit complaining to the world.
The state depends too much
on outside development. Let's
be dependent on ourselves.
Our farms are not properly
preserved or developed. Let's
get busy there.
Men of Louisiana complain
too much and are pessimists.
Let US reform them and our
selves.
When visitors see US they
find us talking about selling out
and moving Let us talk. in
stead, enthusiasm and content
ment.
When small troubles come,
we wall too loudly and too
much"

could not have been formulated
If the governor had written a
book about the topic. Louisiana
has every advantage Of soil and
climate to make it the greatest
wealth producing state in the
union. It's people can enjoy
more Of LIES comforts with less
expenditure of money, and can
earn all Of the necessaries of

this evening, will last four days,
and which will show the bankers OF
southern Wisconsin what is being
done throughout the upper part OF
the State and make them better ac-
ouainted with the resources of the
country to the north. Another rea-
son why the trip has been arranged
is the organization of the Wisconsin
Mortgage and Securities Co., which
was formed to loan money with Wis
consin land as security. Most OF the
money will probably beb orrowed by
owners of land in the northern part
of the State and loaned by residents
of the southern part, who will prolIt
by knowing something about the
country in which their securities
lie. All of the officers of the Wis
eonsin Bankers Association have
planned to start with the trip this
