Snowfall in Shreveport.

Shreveport, Dec. %. -Shreve-
port came mighty near having a
white Christmas. But it did not.
Last night, however, there was
just coolies of the beautiful"
flying over this town. 1t COM
menced to snow a little after 8
O'Clock and for an hour the big
flakes frolicked about and made
the air white. There was a tang
to it that painted the cheeks of
those who were out and while
but few ventured into the night,
those who did gathered up
enough snow to toss a few snow
balls and imagine they were hav-
ing lot of fun.
By 10 O'Clock the snow had
ceased to fall and by midnight it
had disappeared except on some
grass plots where it had been
banked by the wind.

Congress to Grant Twenty Battleships.

Congress to Grant Twenty Battleships
| Washington, Dec. %. While
| the Navy General Board has rec
commended the construction of AZ
battleships during the last twelve
years and secretaries of the ma.
Wy have reduced them to %, con-
gress has only authorized 20.
These figures are disclosed in the
summary of the recommends
tons made by the board and by
the secretaries, published as an
appendix to Secretary Daniels
annual report.
In 1903 the general board laid
down the policy that the fleet
should consist of 4S battleships
OF the first line by 1919 policy
to which it has faithfully adher-
ed up to this year, when it aban-
doned specific figures and de-
clared the fleet should be the
strongest afoat by not later than
1925. The board urged two
ships in 1903 and one was au-
thorized. The next year it urg-
ed three ships to make up the
deficiency and two were author
lied. In 1907 it recommended
four ships, figure to which it
has chung until this year, when
four dreadnoughts and four bat
tie cruisers, or a total of eight
capital ships were asked for.
With the exception of three
years during this period the Sec
retaries have reduced the boards |
proposal by one or two ships. |
With the exception of five years.
congress eliminated at least one
ship from each years recon-
nendation by the secretary and
the wishes of the board have
never been met, four-ship pro-
yrammes having been cut to one
ship each year on three occa-
;ions.

Sugar Season Short.

Lockport, La, Dec. 20. With
the closing down of the Lock-
port Central and the Lower La
fourche sugar factories, the sugar
season of 1915, one of the short
est for many years in this Sec
ton, was brought to close last
week. The Lower Lafourche ran
a little over a month and handled
about 30, 600 tons of cane, MAX
ing a part of it into syrup, and
a part into sugar, some of a beau
tiful white granulated variety
choice for family use, and some
raws for the large refneries.
The grinding season at the
Lockport Central lasted for sixty
days, and it handled about 40, 600
tons of sugar cane, making in
the neighborhood of 5000, 600
pounds of sugar, raw and planta-
ton granulated.
