WELSH MEN FEATURE
LARGE LAND DEALS

A. R. McBurney, widely known
Welsh planter and stockman Saturday
concluded deal for the old Matthew
rice farm southeast of Lake Charles.
The property has been offered for
some time for sale by the First Ma
tional bank, the present owner
The farm comprises 765 acres OF
well drained prairie land, and was
sold for $25 an acre. The total con.
sideration of the deal was $19,125.
Mr.. McBurney has not decided yet
just what he will do with the tract;
but the probabilities are that he will
establish a pure-bred stock farm
there, with model buildings and equip
ment, and high grade stock and his
present ranch near Elton.
Another land deal of interest eff.
fected recently was the leasing of the
old Bunker Hill plantation to Messrs
Joseph A. Malloy of Lake Charles
and W. D. Jones CT Welsh. They will
plant the farm to rice this year, and
are now making the preliminary ar
engagements.
The Bunker Hill plantation is north
of the Calcasieu river, and contains
a. three-mile irrigation canal, which
leaves the Calcaseu river at Burnett's
bay. 1t comprises 1900 acres of land
in sections 20 q, 81, % and SO in {

Managan Lumber company. 1t has
been several years since any rice wa
raised in this section.

By the friends Of freedom. | sent out
from there considerable sums Of money
TO cover the expenses Of the organiza-

many genuine friends, who have re-
NAMED faithful to me ever since. They
proved it by profuse attention to all my
needs during the last years OF my exile
and imprisonment, and from 1907 TO
1917 they never ceased even for a week
10 take care Of me.
When the blows of the open struggle
of 1905 had reached me | again crossed
the boundary into my country, but this
time passed it on foot, running across
in the company Of two "contrabandists"
and comrade who carried with him q

shaken up the paralyzed mind Of the

ing its end: the banners were already
lowered and hidden for the next spirit
ual and physical upheayal; already the
executioners were hanging and slaugh-
tering. shooting and torturing the best
champions Of freedom; but my spirit
was yet far from submission. my heart
was still heaving with hope, and with
read forward | threw myself into the
thick of events. After the wreck OF

the people. But apparently the cup OF

future, not risking 10 sacrifice their re-

I did not tramp the country long, only
one summer, yet | succeeded in visit
ing many villages. and nowhere did
meet with distrust The peasants
eagerly listened to my talks and those
Of my comrades. We told them that
the land ought not belong 70 the few;
that 10 should be placed in possession
OF all the people, Of all those who wish
10 toll on it; that there ought not be
such system which permits the sell
ing, mortgaging, buying and renting Of
thousands of acres by q few hands.
while people were starving nearby be-
cause they lacked the land from which
TO obtain bread. The peasants would
agree with US and also say that the
land ought 70 belong TO those who
labor on il, who till Il.
We would also tell them that the
landlords were expressing the people,
that they had slized ali the govern
ment in their hahds; that the bureau
cracv was frateNizing with the land
lords, hindering the people from living
free life. In this the peasants would
also agree with us.
We had difficulty only in talking
about one subject, the Car We tried
TO explain TO the peasants that the Car
was acting concertedly with the nObil-
ity and bureaucracy, that he it was who
was the chief oppressor Of the people.
But the peasants would not want to be-
lieve it.. They were so distant in those
days from understanding state affairs,
being unable TO read, because Of gen
eral illiteracy, and lacking fundamental
knowledge, that they had no idea how
much evil the Czarist form Of govern
ment had done 10 the nation.
