The Association has taken UP the
matter of getting the river dredgei
so that freight traffic may be re-
sumed. The U. S. District Engineer
in New Orleans in charge of this
work in Louisiana has informed the
secretary that he will come to Gov
ington on December 18th, and wants
to 20 down the river in launch TO
see just what is needed to be done
This done will not only lower the
transportation charges on the great
quantities of merchandise the boa:s
and barges can carry to and from
Covington, and therefore affect every
consumer, but this better waterway
will be big step in the direction of
industrial development for Coving-
ton.
The Association is hard after a
brick yard and box, veneer and fur
niture factory for Covington. 1t has
some other projects under way which
it hopes to announce in the near
future.

Many inquiries are being received.
The results will begin to show soo.l

suits have already been secured.
The Association realizes that the
agriculture of this section must be
advanced if the town or parish ever
amounts to much, consequently it IL
not standing ready to cooperate with
the farmers, but is actively assisting
them in marketing Of their produce.
The potato house and weekly eX-
change sheet are examples of this.
The agricultural bureau is now try
ing to find sale for the syrup ana
pecans produced in St. Tammany.
A few farmers have joined the AS
sociation of Commerce, and all pro-
gressive men should do so.

Robbery Of Addison's Store
Follows Similar Rob-
berries Last Week.
NEGRO CAPTURED
DENIES HE'S GUILTY
Stolen Goods Not Found but
Further Investigations
Being Made.

There have been several robberies
lately, all of a similar nature, but no
trace of the thief could be obtained
Punch boards, cash and cigars seem
ed to be the fayorite swag of this
mysterious thief, and entrance was
usually gained from the rear Of the
premises.
Tuesday night the store of D. |.
Addison was burglariZed in similar
manner. The thief entered at the
back window and stole punch board
and equipment, half box of cigars,
two automatic pistols, and $1,000 in
cash.
Mr.. Addison determined he would
not sit idly by and be robbed with
out any effort to discover the thief.
No one was allowed around the Win
dow through which the thief enter
ed and tracks there we're undisturD-
ed. Mr.. Addison then got into COM
munication with Mr.. Cant of Crystal
Springs, Miss, who owns blood
hounds celebrated for accuracy in
following trails Of this kind. The
dogs arrived in charge of Mr.. Cant,
on the evening train, Wednesday,
and were Immediately put on the
trail When taken to the back OF
the store, both dogs, which were IN
harness, jumped through the window
without hesitation, after their noses
had been put to the tracks. They
led the attendants straight behini
the counter to where the punch board
had been, then to various parts OF
the store the thief had visited, then
cut the side door, across the ditch
on the trail across lots and in by
paths to negro houes, through
which the hounds nosed from rooIA
to room, out the door again direct
to the home of the negro they were
in quest Of The negro saw the dogs
coming and got to the gate and clos
ed it. The dogs hoWled and threw
themselves againts the gate until the
keeper opened it and took the negro
in charge. Then the dogs lay down
peacefully until the negro was
brought out, when they arose ana
were ready to jump for him, but
were kept in control by the keeper. =,
Frank Harris, the negro, denied
all knowledge of what he was want
ed for and was surprised and indlg-
mont that he should be suspected
While no trace of the things stolen
could be found, it is believed there
is little chance of mistake. These
dogs have never failed in capturing
the man they were after, if the trail
was taken up within twenty-four
hours afterwards. In this case the
trail was about eighteen hours old,
but conditions seemed very favorable
for there was no hesitancy whatever
from the start to the finish. Tne
negro has been placed in Jail and
further investigation will be made
to recover the goods.

PROCHASKA URGES THE TRUE
 SPORTSMEN TO LOOK AFTER OWN
 INTEREST IN CAME PROTECTION

sonable bag limits, and assist in arti- ficial propagation. If you are now in doubt as to what to do, write to us.
 "Every sportsman shauld be equally interested in preserving the insectiv- orous birds. They are of untold value to the land. This is one posi- tive way to help the man over whose land you hunt each year.
 Laws and Deputies
 "The game laws were enacted for your benefit, and restrict the taking of wild life to make possible your slogan of putting back two for every one taken out (and this applies to birds, quadrupeds and fish). Their violation means a greater loss to you than to others because this is your sport.
 "The deputy is working for your in terest. His district is unlimited. If he covers a square mile today, it will take him over a year to get around to it again. He is your servant and will appreciate your help. His inter- ests should be your interests. He has dedicated his life to assist in estab- fishing the improved conditions of sport which you desire. A good many hunters think that violating the fish and game laws and getting away with it is part of the game. The more you think this over, we believe, the less willing you will be to subscribe to this doctrine.
 Field Department
 Don't shoot until you clearly see your game, and not even then unless you have your partner located. Stop if some building is in line with your shot. The only safe gun is the one apart in your case. You can not be too careful with it at any time. Give your partner few of the shots. Do not try for 100 per cent The man never lived who could do it day in and day out. Give your dog square deal and if you have neglected him for II months do not expect him to be finished hunter and going strong at the end of the first day.
 Forest Fires
 "Every square mile burned over means a great loss to the landowner, who from now on you are going to protect. It meaps less good shooting ground for you and less breeding ground for game. Report a fire to the nearest town or forest warden. Help fight it. Break your match in two before you throw it away.
 Think This Over
 "When you gather in camp on the night before,' or compare notes at the end of the day let the above proposi- tions sink in. Our desire is to make the grand old state of Arizona more and more attractive to live in every year, and among other things, to in- crease and perpetuate your sport. We shall always be glad to hear from you on the problems involved, and we wish

Good advice to the sportsman is contained in the 1919-1920 edition of the Arizona Fish and Game Laws, which has just been issued by Joe V. Prochaska, state game warden, for general free circulation. The book let will be distributed through the deputy game wardens and every per son who buys license will receive a copy.
 (This neatly printed booklet is a product of The Coconino Sun job de- partment.)
 Half tones of sporting paradises in this state illustrate the booklet, in cluding views of Lake Mary, located eight miles south of Flagstaff; Stone man Lake, Roosevelt Lake, Winter Scene on Diamond Creek, Pime Creek in Gila County, Paradise Creek, Typi- cal Trout Stream of the White Noun tains, and the Salt River at Norman Flats. .,
 In his foreward to the sportsmen Prochaska says:
 "The shooting of most of the game birds and animals of the state is law ful. Before you start on your outing trip we wish you to consider the fol- lowing propositions:
 Rancher, Farmer, Sportsman
 "Title to the wild life is vested in the state or the nation (depending on the species); but, whether or not you will be permitted to hunt on most of the land in the state rests with the landowners. Your hunters license does not give you the right to go on any mans land against his wish. It is, therefore, squarely up to you to decide whether your actions will en- courage ranchers and farmers to re- frain from posting; or, whether by reason of acts of vandalism and pure thoughtlessness (to say nothing of negligence on your part), the owner of the land in self-protection will b.; compelled to keep you off.
 "If your record is good, what will you do this year to force guilty par ties to understand that they are threatening the existence of your sport? We believe the landowners will meet you more than half way, agi will not go to the expense of posting, and suffer the loss of time patrolling, unless you drive them to it.
 "It is up to the 10000 hunters in the state to act as field agents for the landowners, to assist in prosecut- ing any violations of property rights, and to see to it that the country is left in better condition than they had found it.
 Future of the Sport
 ''It is elementary that the destruc- tion of more wild life each year than comes into existence means. .rapid and complete extermination. Your slogan should be: Put back two for every one taken To do this, kill vermin, feed the birds in winter, observe req
