Wonderful Timber lnvigorator

Dear Waterman:
Of late years much attention
has been given to the conserva->
ton and cultivation of the tim
Der resources of the nation by
the scientific world. In the state
of Louisiana the efforts have been
made principally toward the con-
servation and cultivation of pine
timber. J
It is not yet generally know
that one of the brightest stars in
the armament of conservation
lists is now residing in our midst.
The scientific world has recently
been startled by the announce
ment that Prof. Carr M. Pross,
dean of Bills Creek University,
has discovered a chemical SUBJ
stance or force which if applied
to a given tract of timber will
result in an almost spontaneous
growth. The experiment was
recently made by the above
named scientist upon the proper
ties of one of our largest timber
holding corporations and in a re-
cent communication to the asses
sor and board of revisors of
Caldwell parish the officials of
said corporation reported as a re-
suit of the efforts of the said DR..
Carr w. Pross their holdings
have increased in value more than
$500, 900.
When last heard of the emf
nent doctor was still exerting
himself in the interest of said
corporation and we have every
reason to believe that they will
report a still greater increase in
their holdings at a very early
date. Strange to say the efforts
of the said eminent doctor are
not appreciated by many people
among whom are the owners Of
the timber upon which he has
been experimenting. But in spite
of the ungrateful attitude of 81
concern, the said doctor stiE
lies hirseH ing sbeehsf.
Many lnkind critics or
that Pross' new discovery do.,s
not really cause this remarkable
growth Of timber, but that it
merely clarifies the vision of GER
tain people so that they can now
see the timber which has been in
our parish for years and which
they have been unable to see
heretofore. AS to this charge,
we express no opinion but will
remark that whether Prof. Pross'
new discovery is a fertilizer OF
an eyeopener it is a mighty fine
thing for the public treasury.

Senator Nathan GoT, who has been
in i'll health for several months. col
lapsed upon the stage of the Robin
son Grand theatcr here last night
shortly after he began to deliver an
address to n magnificent audience of
Ills fellow townsmen which crowded
the large auditorium. Physicians
had him taken to his home at once
and the huge gathering was dis
missed.
1t was later announced that the
senator's condition was not serious.
The physical collapse OF the speaker
of Tie evening was dramatically pa
thctic. When lie began talking his
voice was hoarsc and it was Mt once
apparent that he was speaking with
great difficulty. 81 am speaking to
you tonight" lie said, "the last mes
sage I shall probably give you" He
explained that lie had not only been
i'll hut had been fighting the demon
death.
When his secretary and physicians
begged him to stop, he said: mo, j
am all right, am not as strong as l
was fifty years ago but ! am a sol
tlicr yet"
The senator proceeded, but within
Il few moments he tottercd and was
caught by friends; bravcly he strug-
elcd on with his speech and ina half
etanding position he shouted with
grim humor. Slightly distigured
but still in the ring A few mo-
ments afterwards he sank backward
TO thc stage floor.

Tie trend OF the lecturers argu-
