WATCHERS ARE READY
 TO STUDY ANTICS OF
 NAUGHTY MT, LASSEN
Volcano'S Dangerous Activity Is Now Attributed to Melting Snow Which CouSes Explosion of Steam in Crater.

WASHINGTON. June 5.-Mt. Las sen, California, whose violent erup-
 tion of May 19 places it in the first rank of volcanoes now dangerously active, has become the subject of an informal cooperative study by the geo. logical survey and the forest service.
 At the request of the survey, a tele-
 gram has been sent from Washington , instructing the officers of the Lassen National Forest, in which the peak stands, to continue observations on the volcano's activity and keep a re- cord to be used las a basis for scien- tidc investigation by J. s. Diller, a government geologist, who is expected o, Lassen early in July.
 The observations are being made ! by forest rangers at the scene and from a fire lookout tower on Brokeoif Mountain, a few miles north of the crater, where the forest service last
 year kept watch on the numerous cruptions which occurrec rom May

RAILROAD COMMISSION
 MAKES ORDER
Holds Opinion on Action of Arkansas Circuit Court in Up-HOlding tfe Intra-State Rate-RailrOad
 Co. Ordered to Desist.

Little Rock, April 8.-The Arkan- sas Railroad Commission has just made a most important order on question that has been under consid- |eration since last fall The ruling is in the case of the Standard Oil Com pany of Louisiana against the Iron Mountain railroad involving rates on the shipment of oil, and the ruling of the Commission is in favor of the protection of the state rate and ad- verse to the contention of the railroad.
 It has been the custom of the oil company to ship oil from Baton Rouge and other Louisiana points of destination on the intra-state rate. By this method a shipment for in stance, from Baton Rouge to Forest City would be $57.45 cheaper by a combination of the two rates than would be the through rate. It was the contention of the railroad company that this was in effect an evasion of the interstate rate, and not permiss- able, and application was made for an order on the Standard Oil Co.,, to pay the excess In the Porter case, decided by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 1906, this was upheld, in ia vor of the interstate rate But in Ap- Til, 1914, the United States Supreme Court held the reverse, and that com bination instead of through rates may be applied to shipment of the char acter in controversy. The reversal, in principle, of the Arkansas court, is the ground upon which the Railroad Commission bases it's opinion in up holding the intra-state rate. It is or dered that the railroad company de- sist from exacting any rate on such shipments in excess of the rate pre- scribed by the Commission.

c0yfRNOR DENIES
 SIGNING RACING BILL
,h.t He Informed Friends of S'a'.s ,;o, of yetoing Measure II ',n,a.ssd-Senator Clarke Rep
 resenting the Plaintiffs.

,;.t,s Rock. April S.-The defeat of D nr;uary election bill and the pas
 ne sa Y of the Ruff bill for the appoint Sss " V of q Board of Control for the usts l.s4s eloemosynary, or the veto of sss ss' Sawyer racing bill, was the ultl- s.s+um .s of Gov. c. w. Hays on the Is ';sht before these bills were finally .9 .o9n,idered in the House, according Y ssl the testimony of A. J. Walls, chair m,n m of the Democratic State Central Committee l,r and United States Marshal .' 4 ,hp Eastern District; and George R. p.,dne. Secretary of the Business Mons League of Hot Springs, in the nsndamus hearing before Judge Guy Fulk Wednesday afternoon.
 In rebuttal, Gov. Hays took the ,.srd and denied that he had ever in- crested himself in behalf of the rac- ;nr bill. and that he had informed A;s friends who were working for it in the very beginning that he would veto it if passed.
 Representative Sam Rorex was the first witness of the afternoon. He testified that he went to the office of Cv Hays during the legislative ses- sion. on a day when the Sawyer bill was pending in the Senate, to convey message from Speaker Sawyer, in- forming the Governor that he need have no fear for the racing bill in the Senate, for he had that day talked to two Senators who had promised him to support it and another who stated he might do so.
 United States Marshal Walls was the next witness, testifying that he had gone to the home of Gov. Hays with Sheriff w. c. Hutton of Pulaski county, and Sheriff Amos Jarmon of Phillips who were very much interest ed in the defeat of the primary elec- ton bill. The Governor, according to Marshal Walls insisted that the pro- ponents of the racing bill get in be- hind the Ruff measure, which was to be considered in the House the fol- lowing day, and also that they defeat the primary election bill, and unless they did, there would be no racing Olll' even though it passed" Judge Walls stated that he then went to the leaders for the racing bill and told mem Of the Governors threat and advlsed them to get busy" He stat ca that 1t was then about midnight ana he had to get some of them out of bed.

ooilgatlon to-" testified to going to the office of Gov. Hays on the day the bill was to be signed or vetoed, after a committee had been sent to discuss the matter with him, but had remain ed so long the others interested be-
 came alarmed. He stated that he was accompanied by R. R. Rice. G. R. Bedding, and others. Kitchens stated that while they were in the office of lSenator Harry Harris came and called him out, and upon the return of the chief executive, he had stated that he was in more trouble, for Senator Harris would not accept the secre
 taryship of the racing commission, as discussed with those present at a former meeting, demanding a commis
 sionership instead. The witnesses states that he had informed the Gov ernor to appoint him, leaving off one of the others. Gov. Hays, according to the witness, then asserted that Sen ator Harris had threatened to "tear him all to pieces" on his appointments which were up for confirmation, if he declined to do as he requested.
 George R. Belding, the next witness started with a visit of a committee from Hot Springs to Gov. Hays to get him to recommend in his message to the legislature an appropriation for the State Fair, but this was with drawn and the racing bill prepared as substitute because of the finan- cial condition of the State. Mr. Beld- ing stated that at no time had he the i slightest intimation that the Governor would veto the bill if it was passed, though he had fears that the bill would meet with defeat in one branch of the Legislature The witness fur | ther testified that he was called out of bed by Judge A. J. Walls, Sheriff | w. G. Hutton, Armos harmon and B. J. Cunningham, politician of Helena on the night before the Ruff and cleo tion bills were to be considered, and informed that if his friends did not ] kill one and pass the other, that the racing bill would be vetoed. He asked if it would not be satisfactory to have the election bill referred to a commit | tee and allowed to die there, after which the committee withdrew to con- slider, returning to say that nothing less than the defeat of the primary bill would be acceptable. MT. Beld- ing stated his friends then did as de- manded by the committee, as shown by the records on these measures.
 On the Saturday before the Monday on which the racing bill was finally considered, according to the witness, he called on Gov. Hays and in the con versation Gov. Hays had informed him that he intended to sign the bill, but that he had not at that time even con- fided it to his wife. He declined to sign the bill at that time, according to the testimony, giving as his reason that he desired to name the commits sion at the same time, and did not care for the embarrassment that would be caused by having so many applica-

Subscription for
Lighting Square

1t IS regretable that those who
made an effort to get up a suf-
ficient sum with which to put up
| lights III Magdelene square, met
with such poor success.
All told, some $3.50 was collect
ed, when about $500 was neces-
sary to put i'll four posts, one. at
each corner, with five lamps on
each post. D." -
Some were we'll disposed. and
contributed literally to this cause,
while, Others, 1T is said, gave res,
F-luctantly. : = - .us4
1t is for the betterment of Able
vile. The illuminating of this
square together with the proposed
illumination of the Court House
square by the Policy Jury, will be
quite an improvement for our town
and it is a pity that it can not be
done right.
One public spirited citizen, got
up a necessary subscription with
which to put light at the very top
most of the tallest of the two poles
on the bridge crossing the river,
saying that by doing so, it would
enable one to locate the town from
tar Oft i'll the contry. Why can we
not have few more public spirited
citizens? Why can we not all pull
for Abbeville? 1t is our town, and
will be what we make of it.
Let us try and get together now
and get necessary amount to put
those four posts in Madgelene
There is only enoughmoney
subscribed at present, to put I'D
two posts, and only two will be
put up by thoes having this mat
ter in charge, unless a further
amount is subscribed. Who will
start the ball rolling? Surely we
have some one here who will make
start in this direction.

Porch Lighting
an Improvement
Light COMMITTEE Allows More
Service Without Extra Cost.

Service Without Extra Cost.
To consumers of electricity under
the residential $50 minimum
where IS kilowatts per month wa,
permitted, the water and light
plant now offers s. killowatts per
! month as a minimum for s.. 50. In
other words, to those consumers
now paying s.. SO per MINIMUM. a
further allowance of ten killowatts
per month is allowed for the same
price, provided said consumers put
i'll a porch light and burn it all
night every night.
1t is estimated that 25--kilowatt
lamp burning all night every night
Will average ten hours per night
and COnsumo an average of seven
and a half kilowatts per month,
leaving a two and half kilowatt
surplus for consumption besides
the porch light.
The object of the offer for the
porch lights is that if every porch
was lighted at night there would
be less chances for the petty rob-
berries that occur from time to time
for 1t we'll known fact that the
burglars hate light.
Another reason for the allowance
as above stated, is the fact that
the plant belongs to the people
the taxpayers and with that in
mind, the plant committee is en-
deavoreng to give as much benefit |
and service as is possible to give.

Of having a. porch light without

The Problem of
Better Drainage
Health Consideration Demand
Dur Attention to Ii.

Last Summer a great cont cuce
assembled at Crowley und,. the
auSpicies of the Southwest Louis
lana Development Bureau 10 cOnei-
der the question Of drainas.. 1t
was largely attended and its d.,ib-
eratiOns attracted much ate tion
throughout the State.
The problem of draining South
west Louisiana is biz o... nrt it
ought not TO be considered w..,
than the people 'hc:n>C. r~. Ih.
way by which m"r havc gov.
great is by mastering tLe o.uDl
ton which, undated k~rl he
people in subj to the adverse
forces of nature. One essential diff
ference between the savage and tie
enlightened man is the inability of
the savage 20 rise above the limita-
ton imposed by nature, while
genius breaks the letters of primeval
obstacles and harnesses the forces
of nature to his triumphal chariot.
Now, trying to farm without ade-
quate drainage is OIL a level with
the method of the primitive man
who plowed with a forked stick
and rubbed two pieces of wood tC-
gether when he wanted fire to cook
with or TO warm himself. In the
matter of drainage, with a few
pleasing exceptions, we have pro-
crossed but little further than did
the Attakapas Indians, who inhab- (
tied this country before our fathers
drove them out OH the pretext Of
desire 10 build up a better civiiiza- /
ton.
Friends, what defence are we
going to ITSke when we are sum-
rnoned before the bar of Eternal
Justice to answer for our diSpos-
session and determination of the
peaceful, inoffensive savage, when
we are doing even worse than they
did i'll the treatment of our natural
resources?
Drainage is fundamental in every
intelligent scheme of agriculture.
Even the lands OH which aquatic
crops are grown will be improved
by modern facilities for drainage.
Half the expense of harvesting
may be saved if the lands NAV be
made dry and firm for the harves-
tiers. Potatoes, peas, corn, cotton,
hay, oats, rot in flle fields because
the water is allowed to remain and
soak into the crops. And all this
represents cash going to waste every
year because we refuse to rise above
the level of the savages, whom we
eXterminated because they wouldn't
respond to the requirements of civ
ilization.
Are we willing to continue thus? .
Health considerations demand Our
to this matter. Half of
the losses we incur from sickness,
produced or aggravated by lack of
proper drainage, would give South :
west Louisiana the finest drainage l
system on this planet. A sick man
can't work. 1t costs money to die,
and a dead man ceases to produce.
Shall we drain and live or do we Z
prefer to pay for the luxury of Z
being sick? Which is the preferable )

Vat Loans for Farmers

There is a movement on foot by
New Orleans bankers to loan
money to sugar parishes for the
purpose of establishing dipping
vats for cattle. The watts are for
the purpose of eradicating the
cattle tick which are becoming a
menace to live stock in certain
sections of the state. The banks
of the Crescent City have raised a
fund and propose to loan it in
sums not to exceed s., 900 to sugar
parishes of the state, at 5 per cent
per annum, payable in one, two
and three years. This is an OPP
which Vermilion parish
should take advantage of.
