WARNING

Notice is hereby given to those per-
sons who deliberately try to damage my
business by making false and damaging
remarks regarding the construction of
the houses which I built last year. It
has been stated that I placed inferior
material in these houses also that these
houses are poorly constructed and on
that account are very cold in winter.
l wish to state that my houses are con-
structed as we'll as the best houses in
this city. I have built Is houses of
which 10 have been sold and are now
occupied by satisfied owners. I refer
ait those persons who desire to know the
truth about how my houses are con-
structed to the purchasers of these houses.
Anyone of the ten owners will say that
the houses are built out of first class
material and by experienced workmen.
Out of the Is houses all but 3 are lined
with Flax Linum, which is one, of the
best warming materials which can be
bought on the open market. Therefore,
If in the future I hear of any person
making false and damaging remarks
concering these houses I will 60 into
court and make him prove his statements,

After pressing, the cotton Is ready
to be stored away in the warehouse, so
that it can be taken out at the demand
of the owner and shipped off to Europe
or to any part Of the United States. It
is wheeled into one Of the great hre-
proof compartments into which the vast
building is divided. These compart-
ments have steel doors. Their walls

running along the ceiling, which will

to heat. The compartments are enor-
nous. They are chambers twenty-efght
feet front forty feet high and one hun
dred feet deep. Each is large enough
to hold twenty-room house, and there
are 124 in the warehouse.
The cotton bales are carried to the
doors and travelling cranes, which run
along under the roof. lift them up ana
pile them in place. They are put up In
four great rows, so that they fill the
room almost to the roof. and the bales
are so marked and tagged that you can
tell at a glance to whom each belongs.
Connected with the crane is the ar
rangement for taking out the bales. No
matter how much cotton be piled above
it, any bale may be removed without
disturbing the other bales IN the COM

cess he has been Influenced toward
them. but the outward signs are that
he is guided by his judgment of what
is best for Spain.
His mother. the queen regent as she
was known during the years of Alton
SOS infancy, is an Austrian princess,
and it rs natural that her sympathies
should be with the central powers.
During the last days of Spain in Cuba,
when there was a widespread belief
that the loss of Cuba would mean the
loss of the throne to young Alfonso,
her tact and discretion kept the Span
ish people loyal to the throne. Be
cause of her experience, it has been as
sumed that she has been more infuen-
tial than her son, and that on this ac-
count the majority of the court party
has been kept friendly to Germany.
Yet this is all conjecture
Some observers of European affairs
have thought that Alfonso, with his
English consort and his pro-ally lean
ings. and his mother, with her Aus
trian birth and sympathies. were a
saving grace which would make it
possible for Spain to occupy genu-
inely influential position when the

immense drainage system. consisting
of more than fifty miles of main low
level canals. into which the water runs
from a network of tiles so distributed
that four-inch rainfall, such as would
drown most other cities. disappears al
most as soon as it drops. The level of
the city is such that the water has to
be pumped out of the canals into other
high-level canals, which carry it off
into Lake Pontchartrain. There are
twenty miles of such canals. and there
are seven great pumping stations which
lift the water up into them. When

which mean much in these times of
war and industrial efficiency. We shall
first go through the elevator on which
we are standing. The building all told
covers some acres, and the roof is 200
feet above the ground. 1t is being
erected in units, and by the time this
letter is published it will have ca
pacity of more than two and one-half
million bushels of grain. AS it is now,
the grain is all coming in by rail, but
the elevator is equipped for barges as
well. and it can already swallow such
grain at the rate of 5000 bushels per
hour great barge trade is expected,
and this capacity will Immediately be
doubled. The grain is sucked up from
the barges through pipes, on much the
same principle as the vacuum cleaner
sucks up dust from the floor.
The grain can be taken from the
railroad cars AT the rate of 100000
bushels per day. 1t is carried into
storage bins, from which it goes on
endless belts into the holds of the
steamers. L have watched the rivers
of grain moving in and out of the
elevator. They flow SO fast that four
great vessels can be loaded at once,
and that at rate OF 100000 bushels
per hour. Everything is done auto
matically, and the dreproofing ar
rangements are such that the insur-
ance rate on the grain is only Is cents
per 500. The elevator is a state in
stitution. 1t is not intended for profit,
and the handling is charged for at
minimum rate.
Even more interesting than the grain
elevator is the cotton warehouse which
adjons it, This warehouse was erected
by the state of Louisiana for the good
of the public and in order that cotton
may be shipped to better advantage
from New Orleans than from any other
port. The rates of handling the cotton

peace settlement came. Whatever may
be the queen mothers ambition. it is
certain that she would support no
course which would tend to detbrone
Alfonso. and there have been portents
of d republican movement i'll Spain
which might upset the throne.
The Spanish people. notwiLhstand-
ing their federation of monarchy and
absolutism. are a democratic people.
The Spanish peasant is sturdy in his
Independence. The servility and the
acceptance of class conditions so
marked among the English agricultural
population are unknown to him. But
in spite of his individual independence
he has never known much about the
practice of democratic institutions, and
that is why republican movements have
had so little success
Spain tried the experiment of re-
public. and one of it's great soldiers.
Marshal Prim, was named as president
Gen. Prim was assassinated. but kings
also have been assassinated, and this
had nothing to do with republicanism
The great proponent of Spanish re-
publicanism was Emilio CASTELAR,. one
of the foremost orators and writer's of
Europe. When John Hay was secretary
of the American legation in Madrid he
wrote vidid description of CASTELAR, as
