FOR BENEFIT OF
COVINGTON
FIRE ASSN

The Picture Show and Christmas
Masque to be given next Thursday.
December 2Sth, promises to be
success artistically and, We hope,
financially.
The cause for which the entertain
ment is being given is one OF great
interest and Importance to the peo-
pie of Covington. Every penny
made will be given to the Fire De-
partment to help pay for equipment
to make the department entirely eff
ficient. The human part OF this SER
vice is brave, prompt - duty's call
and endless in their efforts, but the
equipment is far from what it ought
to be, and the men work against
heavy odds. Now, wont everybody
turn cut and help the men who help
them so faithfully? They turn out
at the sound of the fire alarm
bell, no matter how cold and how
bad the night, to save our homes
from destruction, and perhaps our
lives from the awful death-death
by fire.
Please remember this IT it should
happen to rain.
The ladies serving as patrcnesses
are as follows: Mrs. L. L. Morgan,
Mrs. H. E. Ellis, Mrs. b. B. Warren,

the inlnstrial schools at Indian VIII
lage and S.idell. He commented
very favorably upon the excellence
of these schools, stating that he had
not found any better in the State.
He was much pleased ait the fact
that these two schools had United
States flags floating above them, and
that the pupils were being taught
love and respect for their country
and its laws.
A visit OF the Industrial Super

of a New Depot.

Thes.. Association of Commerce
took up the depot matter again at
it's meeting last Monday evening.
1t. was proposed that an effort be
made to purchase the Poitevent tract
near the Covington Grocery & Grain
Company for the site Of the new de-
pot, it being understood that the
railroad company was willing to-
build il this could be done.~ 1t was
proposed that the matter be taken
|'up with Mr.. P itevent, believing
that, as he is a progressive citizen,
he would make as reasonable terms
as possible. IL this is accomplished,
Covington will have an up-tO-date
depot. II this plan fails. however.
it is probable that the matter will
be placed before the Railroad Com
mission The general feeling is, that
an amicable settlement is preferable,
and that the railroad people and the
citizens should work hand in hand
in friendly effort to promote the in
terests of both the town and the
railroad. 1t is not desired that the
railroad company should be COM

WILL BUILD AN
ELEVATOR FOR
HOME. GRAIN

The Covington Grocery & Grain
Company will erect grain elevator
to take care of the grain grown in
st. Tammany parish. Heretofore
there has been little corn grown that
was not used on the farm. In fact,
st. Tammany parish has not grown
enough corn for its own needs, and
a considerable amount has been pur-
chased, which has been supplied from
the corn districts of other states.
But latterfy there has been q ten
ency to increase the corn acreage or
st. Tammany, and furthermore 1t
has been shown that not only good
corn may be grown here, but that the
average yield per acre, when cost or
production is considered, is equal to
that Of the so-called corn belt,
When the freight cost Is considered,
also, home grown corn is the cheap
est and stock prefer 1t to the corn
brought here from other sections.
The Covington Grocery G Grain
Company believes that II there was
proper storage capacity the yield OF
corn in st. Tammany parish would
be boosted to figures far beyond any
thing in the past. In fact, that 1t
would become a common field crop,
because under their anticipated
plans it would sell for cash, and to
that extent would take the place OF
cotton. This company handles large
quantities of corn, and it is competl-
ed to go into the market to buy ut
Ii the farmers of St. Tammany par
ish can produce this corn they viii
find a ready cash sale for it at the
Covington Grocery & Grains ele-
vator, and the company will be able
to store it and keep it in first-c.ass
,ccndition until the demand takes
OF their hands.
In this venture the Covington Gro
Gerry G. Grain Company is not only
showing foresight AMI good tbusines:
management, but it is doing some
thing that will be Of great benefi
to the farmers of the parish. We
are making rapid strides in stock
raising. The feed problem is an i'm
portant one. With. the introduction
OF silos and the growing of grain i
will be solved to a large extent ana
reduced to minimum of cost.

SALMON PROJECT
AFFAIRS AIRED
Representatives of the Set

to Appear.

The affairs Of the Twin Falls
Salmon river project we're aired be-
fore the state land board today, but lit
tie progress was made. The board
some time ago set today as the date
for hearing the Representatives OF the
company and the settlers association
on the report OF State Engineer Smith
providing for the reduction of the
acreage of the project from $4,000 to
10000 acres. Several representatives
of the company were present and olEs
settler. None of the representatives of
the settlers association appeared. The
board discussed the report of the en-
gineer for some time The state en-
gineer has prepared a map showing
just how the reduction OF the project
lands is made and this was carefully
inspected by those present. The board
is in session this afternoon conduct
ing a further investigation into the
projects affairs.
District for Fire Protection.
The board divided the timber lands
contiguous to national forests into dis
tricts owing to the danger from fires
in the national forests, so that dep
uty state fire warden can be appoint
cd for each district to keep a check
upon it and in the event there is dam
ger from fire in the timber rush crews
of men to the forests to stamp it out.
This is looked upon by the board as
merely step in MISREPRESENTATION, be-
cause fires that often break out in the
! large reserves are impossible to con-
troll before damage Is done to the
states holdings.
The board tentatively decided upon
the following districts: Clearwater,
near Selway reserve; Basin, Long
valley and Meadows, in the southern
part of the state; Palisafe. near Pal
isade reserve; Cassia, Goose Creek,
Black Pine and Sublett. near the Mini
doka reserve; Payette and squaw

near Caribou reserve: Targhee. near
Targhee reserve; Wetser. near Weiser
