IF WE COULD EE YOU FACE TO FACE, lf we could see you face to face, we could prove to you beyond the shadow of a doubt the advantages of the famous Byrne practical bookkeeping and business training and simplified shorthand. We could show you clearly how it is that we can turn out a better stenographer or bookkeeper, and do it in three months less time than when we used to teach the systems now being used in other schools. This saving of three months' time means much to the prospective student; at a conservative salary of $50 per 'month, the three months' time would amount to $150, and three months' board' at $12 per month would amount to $36, or a total saving of $180, to say nothing of the fact that the student of our school gets three months' practical experience, while the student of the other school is just finishing his course and has no experience. We have hundreds of graduates holding the very best positions to be fonid in our larger cities. We have more calls for our graduates of bookkeeping and shorthand or telegraphy than we are able to supply.

You may enter with us at any time; our work is practica4ly all individual instruction. Thorough preparatory work in English branches is given free. Write for catalogue; make your arrangements to enter at once, so that we may soon have the pleasure of placing you in a good position. Tyler Commercial College, Tyler, Texas. Reward of $6000 for Dunbar Boy.

An Associated Press despatch from St. Louis, dated Nov. 11, says: "A circular issued by the Burns Detective Agency, offering a reward of $6000 for the return of Robert Dunbar, of Opelousas, who, it is believed, was kidnapped by a mulatto woman August 23, was received today by the St. Louis police with instructions to watch for the boy. "The circular states that the boy is four years old and was camping with his parents on Swayze lake, near Opelousas, when he was missed.

Footsteps of the boy and of an older person led to the railway tracks. Three days later a mulatto woman was seen with a boy answering the description of the missing lad, at Baton Rouge." When quality and price are the considerations, we believe it is to your interest to let us figure on your printing. National Recognition for Louisiana's Riches. No enterprise offers more promise benefit to the agricultural oiput of the country than the project of reclamation of southern swamp lands, now under discussion by civic organizations of Mississippi valley cities. It is not improbable that some concerted movement will shortly be started which will in time accomplish this work, either through the government appropriation or through private financing.

Promise of reward seems sufficient to warrant the use of public money or to invite private enterprise. Some beginning has been made in the lowlands surrounding the Mississippi river between New Orleans and the Gulf. Large tracts have been shut in by dykes and an area of 25,000 acres formerly under water for many months every year has been drained and is being rapidly put under cultivation. About 5000 acres have been sold to northern settlers, and the reports of the crops raised read like fairy tales. Two or three crops per year are being produced, and the return per acre is beyond any record made in any other section ol.he country.

The rich alluvial soil will grow a vast variety of produce and in such profusion that profits of $150 to $200 an acre per season are considered only ordinary. This is but a beginning of the possibilities of production these lands possess. Invesetigation on the part of those interested lead to the statement that there are in the south at least 50,000,000 acres of land as rich as that ih the valley of the Nile, easily reciaiulabie at an expenditure entirely insignificant in cclhparison to its value to the nation. Lands that for eons have received their yearly deposits of the top soils of higher ciimes are fertile almost beyond imagination. Public policy demands that waste lands be made productive.

Already we are suffering from the disproportionate ratio of growth betwvecn eaters and the producers of food. Any enterprise which brings into cultivation large tracts of fertile land, should be worthy of the attention not only of economists but of statesmen, if there be any such in public life. High cost of living cannot be cured by legislation so long as the weight of pressure is on the buying side. It is far wiser to go to the bottom the problem and strive to remedy the unfortunate relation existing between supply and demand than to grow hoarse vocierating against the Street Journal. Catholic Colony to Farm Near Natchez.

Bishop John E. Gunn, of the Natchez diocese, while on a business trip to New Orleans, had the pleasure of a visit from the three priests who were there in the interest of the Catholic Colonization Bureau, which has its headquarters in Chicago, says the These three priests are Revs. Andrew Spetz, C. treasurer of the bureau; Rev. J.

D. Lapiante, a foreign colonization worker, and Rev. J. S. Boisvert, C.

S. the soil expert for the society, who holds degrees in civil engineering and cnemistry. They have been visiting through Texas in the interest of their work, but have recently returned from Natchez, where they were amazed at the wonderful possibilities of the soil around that section of the country. With co-operation of Bishop Gunn, who will assist them in every possible way, they will within about sixty days have fifty farmers from the north and west settle down on a fertile tract eleven miles from Natchez, on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. This place has not as yet been named.

Bishop Gunn, in heartily indorsing the proposition, will enlist the services of the Natchez Board of Trade, and will see to it that a good man is put at the head of the scheme. It is especially accented by the bishop that it will not be for Catholics only, but rather for all classes who come recommended by the Chicago end of the society who will till the soil and help in the general welfare and prosperity of the state. The New Orleans market will benefit materially by the establishing of the colony, as the colonists will have an outlet for their produce. Bishop Gunn, on the part of the Catholic priests and citizens of Natchez, will be at the station to greet the farmers, and will give them all the information and help necessary, in the building of their new homes. lie is of the opinion that that section of the Natchez country opens up ugimited possibilities for development, and the establishing of the colony there will do mnore toward bringing same to the notice of the whole country.

Elmo Railroad Making Headway. Since the last issue of the Bulletin, progress has been In in the building of the St. Elmo no ile lIelcne railroad. The force under W. A.

Howell has done good work, and the results are apparent to all who have visited Elmo recently. i eunding the arrival of rails and tics, the right-of-way was cleared of all oustructions aua the building of tin embankment was started from the St. Elmo end. By the time the Bulletin issues from the press, every bit of the earthwork will be completed from the St. Elmo station site to a point some several hundred feet west of Kraemer station.

As soon as transactions now pending for the right-of-way through several big tracts have been completed, contractor H-lowell's forces will push the work through to the present terminus of the Belle Helene line. The charter of the company, which has just been received from the company's legal representatives, Messrs. Foster, Milling, Brian and Saal, of New Orleans, is being published in this issue of the Bulletin. The charter will also appear in the Chief and the Algirs Herald. will be seen, this charter confers upon tile company the right of eminent domain, under which it is empc, to exporpriate throubh the u.ua4 legal processes all property required from rights-of-way, terminals, and the like.

it is not expected that te right of expropriation, will have co be exercised, because the peopie ie ing aiong t-ie route of the line apinar to be in sympathy with the niprovement 'and also seem to realize what a big benefit the road will be to the country, on account of the big boost it will give to land values. Heretcfore, the residents of Darrow and the territory above have not had tile benefit of freight service by railroad, nor have they had any means of shipping their cane economically to of the big sugar houses in Ascension parish. The St. Elmo line will provide such a service, and wil undoubtedly be a big factor in tne upbuilding of the farming section through which it will run. Engineer B.

A. Webb, when asked nor an express.ion of opinion as to tile dato of commencement of train service on the road, stated that in his inion the middle of January -would about the time when service could begin. W.eatlgr conditions, he said, were favorable now and there to be no prospect of a bad season between this time and and such being the case the could be pushed every day of week and brought to a in the first month of the new year. Parties of St. Elmo lot-owners and others interested in the railroad work are at St.

Elmo every Sunday going over the route and seeing what has been done. The company such inspection and has made arrangements to show the progress of the work to all whopvisit the St. EIlmo terminus. -St. Elmo Bi-Weekly Bulletin.
