SOUTHERN PACIFIC
WINS LAND CONTEST

The dismissal Of the suit of the
government against the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company. filed in the
district court at Los Angeles, attack
ing titles to 10000 acres Of oil lands
in the San Joaquin Valley fields, is
an important victory for the company,
ven though the case may be appealed
by the government.
This case is relatively far more i'm
portant than the one which is before
the United States supreme court.
which involves only 6109 acres Of land
in the Elk Hill district. of California.
which are Of little value. This ase
was carried on appeal by the govern
ment from a decision Of the circuit
court of appeals. in favor Of the COM
pany.
1t is difhcult to appraise the value
Of the property involved in the Los
Angeles suit, but 1t has been v~ariously
estimated from $3.50. 900, 900 to $780,

part of its California fuel department,

than 200 other co-defendants were
drawn into this case through the pur-
chase from Southern Pacific Of certain
of the lands. Some Of the lands we're
sold as low as $3.50 an acre. and this
proved the most presumptive evidence
of absence of fraud on the part Of
the Southern Pacific in obtaining title

GERMANS ENDEAv0R
MONOPOLY IN DYES


WASHINGTON, October LIN or
der that the dye industry, now valued
at many hundreds of millions, and
that the three billions of dollars worth
OF production depends upon it may be
thoroughly protected, Representative
mick" Longworth reported from the
house committee IN ways and mean
a bill which not only taxes all dye
imports, but also provides a licensing
system by which to keep all foreign
products out until their American
competitors are firmly established.
Let me see IL I a picture to you
the German dye industry today. AS
we all know. it's six great component
companies controlled and produced
all the dyestuffs for practically the
entire worlds market. 1t employed
more than $4,000 men and had assets
Of more than half a billion dollars.
Today those six concerns have been
absorbed into one gigantic, govern
ment-aided trust, formed in 1916. for
the avowed purpose of fighting its
way back, SO soon as the war should
be over, to the former German world
monopoly.
Its plants have been busy through
out the war making all Germany's
poison gases, most Of her munitions,
and. at the same time, enough dyes
to establish a reserve which could
not only everwhelm u markets. but
the markets of any other country in
the world. This is the reason why
England. France and Japan, the prin-
cipal dye-consuming and producing
countries. have protected their own
government-aided dye industries by IL
laws substantially similar to
the n proposed by this bill.
did these plants suffer during the
war, either by deterioration or loss of
their trained personnel? On the con-
trary. From the beginning they were
cherished and protected in every way
by the German high command, be-
they were the sole source of
supply of Germany's bedrock military
necessities.
Consider the problem that the Ger
man dye trust has to face. With re-
sources 30 colossal. with plants SO
huge and organized for such vast pro-
duction. 1t must regain most OF its
former world market unless a part
Of its equipment is to lie idle and
another part run at low efficiency.
Without enormous production. it
would cease to be a profitable bust
ness. Unless a profound change has
come W German civilization and
business methods H. is unreasonable
to suppose that its competition will
be less INSCRIPTIONS than 1t was in
the past. when it practiced every
form Of corrupt and unfair competi-
ton known to commerce. What can
be more certain than that 1t will at
tack all competitors with ruthless dis
regard Of any considerations of bust
less decency?"

BoGALUsA "oVER THE TOP"


ROGALUSA HAS AGAIN GONE OVER THE TOP"
the allotment for the Fifth Liberty Loan of 100000
having been subscribed by the Great Southern Lumber
Company through Mayor w. H. Sullivan The remainder
of the allotment for Washington parish 4 OOO has been
pledged Bogausa and Washington parish are therefore
again entitled to the distinction of having gone over the
top before any other city, parish county in the United
States In every Liberty Loan, War Savings Stamps K
of c. Y. NJ c. A., United War Work and other drives,
Bogausa has failed to go the top with
siderable amount to spare.
The action of the Great Southern Lumber Company
purchasing the 100000 worth of bonds shows the true
typical spirit of this institution Without their help there
was no hope of Washington parish going the top
The citizens of Washington parish it to their country
and to themselves to buy every dollars worth of bonds
they possibly can SO that when the final figures in
we will be able to show that this parish exceeded their
quota by greater percentage than any other community
South Don't think that because we have gone the
top that you have done your duty.
Everyone felt that the Victory Loan going to be
exceedingly hard one to put and great organza
ton perfected-the members worked hard and
esy, having inkng that there was going to be sub
scption of hundred thousand dollars Great credit
is due Mrs Elizabeth SulivanFth for her work in put
ting the parish "over the top" those who in posi-
ton to buy bonds will cooperate with the committees
there will be question about the quota being exceeded
by so per cent.
