BUILD UP THE NORTHWEST.

AHARLES COOPEY is a careful
~ observer. Here is an editorial
by him in Che Chamber of
Commerce Bulletin, which is worth
reading and needing:
Do you want the Pacific Coast to
build up'
California and Washington are
developing factories along this line.
Do you want to find employment
for the people we have here and
that are comingf
California and Washington are
preparing to find work for the peo-
pie coming to them through the
Canal.
If you do, then buy homemade
goods. This will develop factories.
These factories will also find en-
ployment for your boys and girls
and enable them to get an honest
living. Teach them legitimate
trades and make honorable citi-
zens Of them, for if we arc going to
succeed in developing the Pacific
Coast some of us must take up the
occupation Of "putting into the
barrel" If we are all taking out
we shall soon reach the bottom.

wage.
These few figures only have ref
erence to one branch Of our indus
try-men s special order clothes.
Add to this the women s special or
der clothes, the ready-to-wear cloth
ing for men, women and children,
and the various articles we buy
from the East, and the total should
convince any person why money is
at times scarce with us.
For the sake of our self-preserva-
tion, these conditions must be
changed. We must make goods to
supply our everyday needs and
find work not only for ourselves
but all people that come to live
among us that are willing to work.
REMEMBER, if it is only shoe
lace you are buying. the making of
the shoe lace finds work for some
one. Do you want that someone to
be living in Oregon or Washington
or some far away city where wages
are very low and you can buy them
cheaperf
We must help change these condi-
tions and give the coast merchant
chance to have his special orders
made at home, thus finding work
for our people and keeping vast
sums of money at home that is now
being sent East. The merchant
claims he is not to blame for not
buying his goods at home, for up
until now there has been no place
ready to supply him and we hope in
the near future to see several fac
tories making the different kinds
Of garments that are needed.

THE REASON.

Lo. every man who marries
For love he does that same
And to the hearthstone carries
True loves immortal flame.
Some wed for love of woman
And some for love of pelf,
And some-'tis very human
For simple love of self.
Some wed for love of beauty
And some for love of pride,
Some out of love of duty
Take unto them bride,
And some whose feet are weary
And who would cease to roam.
Who find the long road dreary---
They wed for love OF home.
One common love, though, leads us
Each one to take wife
And to the altar speeds US,
Whatever doubts are rife.
With her the grave we'd walk to
And falter not nor balk-
To have some one to talk to
Who likes to hear us talkl

SPORTSMEN'S AID SOUGHT
AGAINST FOREST FIRES.
nECAUSE Of the fact that many
% forest fires are set through the
4. carelessness Of hunters, camp
ers and others who 60 into the
woods for recreation, the forest
service has taken up with manu-
facturers of firearms and ammuni-
tion the question Of cooperative
arrangement through which pur-.
chasers and users Of guns and cart
ridges shall be reminded of the fire
danger.
It has been pointed out that in
the lumber regions of the northwest
for example, manufacturers and
other business men have been hav-
ing printed or stamped on their sta
tionery and pay checks various
crisp, catchy statements about the
loss which the public suffers
through the decreased demand for
labor and decreased money in circu
lation if timber, which is the source
of many of the northwest indus
tries, is burned up.
1t has also pointed out that in the
east particularly many forest fires
are started by the carelessness Of
hunters, who drop burning matches,
cigar or cigarette stumps, or pipe
Goals in the woods, or perhaps build
a fire which is left burning when
the hunter goes on. Forest fires of
course greatly injure the interests
Of sportsmen by robbing the birds
Of their proper cover. They also
impair the food supply of both
birds and big game, through the de-
struction of the underground which
furnishes browse, berries and other
food.
The eastern woods are exposed to
danger from fires principally in the
spring and fall, when most of the
trees are bare and the leaves on the
ground are dry. The spring fires,
many Of which are due to trout
fishermen, may destroy the eggs Of
game birds and even the young
birds themselves. Since trout fish
ermen are likely to hunt in the fall,
the same individuals, if careless,
may be a source Of danger at both
seasons.
1t is suggested that the manufact-
urers of arms and ammunition ought
to be sufficiently interested in the
matter of perpetuation to be will
ing to help in the campaign against
forest fires. This help may come
through the printing of some brief
fire warning on cartridge boxes or
some slip to go with any hunting or
camping supplies which are furn-
ished. Several manufacturers have
already expressed their interest in
the matter and their willingness to
help.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Increased Use of Motor-Driven
Vehicles Helps Get Them

The extent to which the re-
markable increase in the use Of
motor-driven road vehicles has
impressed upon every community
the Importance of good roads, is
very we'll illustrated by the re-
cent establishment at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
in Boston, of a course in high
way engineering. The economic
value of good roads has, of
course, been known from the
earliest times. Rome conquered
the world not least because the
Romans were road builders who
built for all time. But that val
ue has too often been lost sight
of in newer communities, and in
certain portions Of this great
country of ours especially has it
been ignored even long before
the advent of the automobile
made a new demand for good
roads.
A reawakening to the value of
good roads, no matter what the
class of vehicle that uses them,
is directly traceable to the auto
mobile. The automobile has set
a new standard for roadbuilding
that is bound to make for the
benefit of transportation of all
kinds. A road suited to the
weight and speed of an automo-
bile, a road fit to withstand the
tremendous strain imposed by a
machine weighing 1900 pounds
and moving at a rate of SO miles
an hour, will save the farmer in
wear and tear as he plods to
market behind his humble horse,
expense that will go far to re-
duce the cost of living.

Vincenzo Tuminello was found
murdered Sunday near Shreve-
port. Sam Serio, an Italian, re-
ported to the police that he had
seen Frank Mathis and another
negro sitting on the levee near
the scene of the murder at about
the time it took place. The two
were arrested and held for the
sheriff of Bossier parish. After
examination Mathis, who had in
his possession a revolver of the
same size bullet as one found in
the murdered man, was held and
the other negro released.
A mob formed Monday about 4
O'Clock. Italians, Greeks and Sy-
rians formed the nucleus. They
lacked a leader and the attack on
the city Jail did not begin until 8
o'clock. The battering ram used
by the mob was the iron rail used
in battering in the doors of the
parish Jail about a month ago
when Ed Hamilton was taken
out and lynched for criminally
assaulting a 14-year.old white
girl.
After about an hours hard
work, the mob succeeded in fore
ing a way through the iron-barr-
ed windows, only to find that the
prisoner had been removed.
Finding all their efforts to dis
perse the mob, grown to about
1000, in vain, the police and dep
uty sheriffs waited until the mob
was intent on the final breaking
in, and rushed Mathis from the
Jail through the city hall and in
to a waiting automobile. Before
the mob realized what was being
done, Mathis was on his way to
! the Bossier Jail where he was
safely incarcerated.
The victim was murdered for
his money, the authorities say.
His slayer obtained about $25.

Good roads are an absolute
necessity to the advancement of
the interest. of the farmer.
With the present roads it is al
most impossible for a farmer to
get his produce to any place to
market it during the wet seasons.
Now is the time to take the mat
ter up and try and do something
to get the roads in good condi-
ton before fall and winter. =

CONDITION OF COTTON
Crop Exceedingly Spotted.-Much
Of 1t Late---Boll Weevil Busy

A summary of the first cotton
crop report of the season, as
boiled down from the correspond
ence of the Times.Picayune, COW
ering the whole cotton belt, is
given below:
1t is impossible to form a clear
idea of the acreage, as drouth in
the Atlantic states and excessive
rains in Texas have impeded ger
mination in one case and plant
ing in the other. But it is prob
ably safe to say that there has
been no increase, taking the belt
as whole, and an actual de-
crease may ultimately be shown.
Throughout the eastern belt
cultivation has been exceedingly
close and effective, because of
the dry May, whereas precisely
opposite conditions have prevail
ed in Texas and, to a lesser ex-
tent, in Oklahoma. Rains or
showers have fallen in the East,
while Texas and Oklahoma have
been blessed with sunshine with
in the last few days. How much
of the late planting will come up
to good stands remains to be
seen.
The weevil is reported from
various points in Texas, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama, but the farmers are
fighting the pest with a will.
The supply Of labor is generally
ample and this fact will be of
great advantage in the fight.
The crop is an exceedingly
spotted one and much of it has
so late a start that only a perfect
season can enable it to escape the
weevil or the frost.

NETTIE QUILL ON THE JOB
First Steamer Of New Line On
Her First Round Trim

Aiet otcoiiicF Oh new Line On
Her First Round Trip
The Nettie Quill, the first boat
put on by the new river naviga-
ton company, to run between
New Orleans, Columbia and Mon
roe, has about finished her first
round trip. She left New Or
leans Thursday of last week,
loaded to the guards, and arrived
at Columbia Sunday morning.
She received an enthusiastic
greeting and Capt. Swayze and
the other officers were presented
with RATS" of beautiful flowers.
The Nettie put off a good lot
of freight here. Proceeding up
the river, she arrived at Monroe
at $3.50 the same night, where the
enthusiasm was most marked.
The only delay on the trip was
at Riverton, where one of the
locks and dams is being con-
structed.
She reached Columbia on her
return trip at noon Tuesday.
The Nettie Quill is in charge of
Capt. L. H. Swayze, Jr. H. C.
Boazeman, an old steamboat
man, is clerk; J. T. Lively and
John Daigre, pilots; ]. E. Huff
man and Sam D. Oliphant, engi-
neers. M. D. Swayze, president
and general manager of the COM
pany, is looking after the boats
finances.
The Nettie Quill is trim little
steamer with a carrying capacity
of $50 tons. Accommodations are
provided for 80 passengers and
this feature will be carefully
looked after, so that round "trip
excursions to New Orleans will
become popular.
The name of the boat will be
changed to City Of Monroe as
soon as the United States regula-
..-tions on the subject can berurn-
piled with.
The decisions of the Interstate
Commerce Commission raising
railroad freight rates to Monroe
and group points while allowing
rates to competing cities to re-
main the same made it impera-
tive that a boat be placed in the
trade between New Orleans, Co.
lumbia and Monroe. Judging
by the load carried on the first
trip, the venture will be a sue
cess. The railroads, however,
are already fighting the line, as
is evidenced by two New Orleans
houses refusing te deliver to the
boat two cars of goods ordered
shipped by water.
If these houses continue to re.
fuse to use the water route when
they have instructions to ship
that way, the jobbers of this sec
ton will turn their trade to Mem
phis and ship by boat from thai
city, making the transfer to thu
local boat at Vicksburg. st. Louis
and Memphis already have
strong hold in this territory ant
:. the refusal of New OrleansNfirm
to meet shipping orders vii
surely result in a big loss to tina
city.
