SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE STATE AUDITOR IVERSON ANSWERS CRITICS. Elsewhere in the Pioneer is given a letter from S. G. Iverson, state auditor, wherein he replies to the communication from Big Falls which was recently published in the Pioneer, relative to the manner in which the state swamp land contests are being conducted. The Pioneer is taking no part in the controversy, but as we have quite frequently heard these critic- isms, it has done no harm to print the communication and the answer made by Auditor Iverson, The latter fully explains his stand in the matter, and the explanation is en- tirely satisfactory to his friends. The Pioneer communication con- tained no signature; but the general answer given by Mr. Iverson to Mr. Hilliard of Big Falls will cover the matter printed in the Pioneer.

MAXINE ELLIOTT, But she was very much annoyed when told that an American newspaper had described her as “King Edward’s sum- mer girl.” “How awful!” she sald. “Really, the American papers terrify me. I am afraid to pick one up. It's dread- ful!” and Miss Elliott shuddered. STRIKE MAY BE SETTLED Interested Parties Held Conferences at Omaha.

IMMENSE PROPERTY LOSS Numerous Coast Towns in- Loulsiana Suffer, the Damage at Baton Rouge and Vieinity Exceeding $2,000,000. State Capitol Unroofed and a Con- siderable Part of the Bullding Flooded. New Orleans, Sept. 3 /.—8corés of Bves are reported to have been lost 88 a result of a tidal wave which swept & considerable portion of the Louisiana coast during a tropical hur- ricane, pouring its reeistless volume upon denizens of the coast. It is be- leved that the gulf waters have swept away perhaps a hundred people. Re- ports indicate that the fatalities were most numerous along the gulf border- ing the shores of Terre Bonne parish. News of the disaster was brought into Houma, the parish seat of Terre Bonne, by helf clad men and women, who managed to save some kind of a craft by which they succeeded in reaching shelter. They related stories of great havoc. It is impossible to estimate the loss of life in Terre Bonne parish and it is probable that a full restoration of communication with other parts of Louisiana may bring the knowledge of further casualties. As yet it is im- possible to give a correct estimate of property loss, as reports of damage are coming in hcurly. Many towns suffered from the storm and numerous plantations felt the disastrous effects of its force. The cene and cotton crops of Louisiana sustained serious damage. Many towns of Louisiana sustained great property loss. Tn Baton Rouge and vicinity the damage will exceed $2,000,000. The state capitol 1s un- roofed and a considerable part of the building flooded. Hundreds of small pleasure craft which were torn from their moorings along the coast and the river have been swept away or sunk. The dam- age to craft and shipping alone will amount to $1,500,000, A banquet to be held in honor of Archbishop Blenk, recently returned from Rome, was indefinitely postponed on request of the prelate. The money which would have been spent in the entertainment will be applied to the reliof of storm sufferers. TWO PLACED UNDER ARREST Townsite Promoters Acoused of Using Mails to Defraud.
