Gulf Sabine and Kansas CITY
Railroad.


On last Saturday Messrs. A. T. Irwin
and VIM. Anderson, of Kansas, repre.
senting the proposed Gulf, Sabine and
Kansas City railroad. were in Lake
Charles, and conferred with a number
OF business men and property owners
In reference to the route of the road.
The matter was thus put by Mr..
Anderson We must decide to accept
or reject a route surveyed through
Texas from Corsicana to Sabine within
GO days. We want all the assistance
we can get in annual taxes voted. re.
mission Of taxes, donations, right-of-
way, etc. What we can get must be
quickly decided upon, as we are in
hurry to build the road. To run to
Lake Charles, thence to Sabine Pass
will require a longer line than the
Texas route. or an intermediate Louis
lana route. Now, what will the parish
do? What will Lake Charles do to
have us come here
After an informal conversation, these
gentlemen left to examine other por-
tons of the route.
At 8 o'clock p. M. an adjourned
meeting Of prominent citizens of Lake
Charles was held at the office of the
Southern Real Estate, Loan and
Guarantee Co. Committees were ap-
pointed to prepare statistics of imports
and exports from town. The agricul-
tural statistics of the parish and ueces-
sites in the way of transportation, to-
gether with full statement of all the
inducements for a road from Kansas.
This road would be invaluable to our
city. Secure it, and, with the Watkins
road connecting With the CaIcasieu
Pass, We will become the point of di,
Yergenee, whence roads will soon
reach out in every direction.
We do not know whether this road
can be induced to make its main line
pass through our town, but we do
know that Lake Charles would enter
upon a new era Of prosperity should
we get it, which will extend into all
the surrounding country.
Lake Charles should not hesitate to
give liberal tax to this road if, by so
doing, we can have it in town with its
depot and main track. But nothing
should be loosely done. If we vote for
a north and south road, We don't want
it to intersect the Southern Pacific at
Edgerly Or Iowa, but at Lake Charles.
In short, if We pay for privilege or
benefit, we want to reap the fruits
Of it.

Glenn the City.

We notice that in New Orleans earn
est exertions are being made through
private enterprise to raise $25 900 to
assist the authorities in cleaning the
city.
This is laudable, and worthy Of imi-
tation by all our southern cities and
towns. An abnormally warm winter
has about passed. The usual freezes
and frosts have not visited us, and
many are of opinion that the accumu-
Iating germs of disease are more than
usually apt to produce a summer of
sickness and death Whether there 10
a sound basis for such theories we do
not pretend to say. But healthy city
and filthy city can never be synony-
nous terms. The hyglenio effect Of
cleanliness is so well known that it need
not be discussed.
In our southern climes where all veg
citation is rank and the sun shines hotly
down upon decuying matter, noxious
gases and germs can only be removed
by thorough cleanings. The town funds
available cannot accomplish more than
the usual putting in order of the streets
Citizens sIIould unite in a general effort
to clean their yards and every filthy
place about their premises. Periodical
cleaniDgs would be comparatively mex.
pensive aud would add wonderfully to
the health of the city.

WHY cannot Marmou cotton be

small planters sell their cotton in the
ST.. This cotton could he brought
over the Watkins road and cheaply
rinned here. A gin could be con
0er.cd with some one of our saw mills
So as to use the sawdust for fuel, and

the Loomis gin the cotton could be
pu, up in lO0-pound packages and
sold direct to manufacturers, without
the intervention of merchants, saving
extra freight, extra commissions and
