Six Little Senate Bills
Denied Admittance, House

"All dressed up and no place to
CO." was the situation that con-
fronted six Senate bills, passed by
the upper branch of the Territorial
Legislature yesterday and attempted
to be transmitted to the House this
morning. These measures, the first
Senate bills to be passed this ses-
sion, Numbers l. 2, 3, 5 and T.,
after completing the journey to the
House were denied admittance there
There wasn't anything about the
measures in themselves which made
them unwelcome to the House. They
were denied admittanee because
certified to, by the President and
Secretary of the Senate. The House
holds that the Organic Act requires
bills passed and engrossed to be
signed by the presiding officers and
secretary or chief clerk before trans
initial from one branch to the other.
The Senate takes the position that
signatures are not necessary until
passage by both houses and enroll
ment. In carrying out that view it
turned its first legislative children
out neatly clothed but unornament-
ed with the signatures the House
considered necessary. And the low
er branch of the Legislature prompt
ly hung out the t'not at home" sign
and ordered Clerk Kerr to return
them to the Senate for proper orna-
mentation.

TOBACCO
 LOUISIANA CROF
This Is Peculiar to That Part Of

Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 2i RI--In the parish of st. James, a short way from New Orleans, is q historic and picturesque industry, infinites- mal in comparison with many of the other hountiful agricultural crops Of the state, but which is pe- culiarly Lousianian, This is tho Perique tobacco industry, alone in the world.
 First grown many years ago by an Acadian whose name the tobacco now bears. its cultivation has been kept up continuously ever since by direct lineal descendants of the ori- ginal NJ, Perique.
 Cultivation is confined 10 very small area on the banks of the Miss issippi, where a favorable combina- tion of soil and climate is particu- larly adapted to its growth. This to- bacco, which finds its chief use as scasoner for mixtures, is exceedingly strong, with a distant flavor and aro- ma. Not many more than 500 acres are given over to it's growth.
 Perique Is raised in much the same manner as any other sun to- bacco, the land being properly blow cd over and tho rows set about five feet apart, The seed is sown eapy in January and rcplanted in March or April. The harvesting is done in July. The tobacco then is hung in the sheds to dry, stripped and placed in presses until the following March or April when 1t is ready for the market. Frequently, however, it is not sold until three or four years old, as Perique. like wine, improves with age.
 The yield Is about 500 pounds 10 the acre and it's price fluctuates with the demands of the market,
