AN Ice Factory.

We have already heralded the speedy
erection here of a mammoth rice mill.
and now we joyously say to our read
ers that, there is every probability of
our having an ice factory erected and
put IN operation, in time to secure our
comforts and all the necessities for the
summer, in that line.
Opelousas has heretofore been fore
ed to depend on other distant factories
for it's Ele, and the consequence was
that, at times, we paid dearly for the
luxury, whilst at others. and for short
intervals, we were unable to get it at
any price. An enterprise is now on
foot and the prospect brightens in the
vision because there is every probability
ofspeedy Accomplishment, that a facto
ry will be erected, here on the west side
of the railroad. We are informed that
the only contingency, is the ability to
get sufficient supply of water. As to
this, We are confident, there will be no
trouble.
Now we wish to say to the people
in advance, be content and willing to
pay a remunerative price for the ice,
and thus enable the factory to keep
going. If we permit combines to step
IN and secure our patronage, at o
greatly reduced price, the consequence
viii! soon be the defeat .of our enter
prise, and our relegation to the wlims
and extortions of remote factions.
Let as keep up ours, at fair and rea-
sonable prices, regardless of what
others may offer ice at. Fortunately,
it can be made cheap, and at such rates
that nearly every one can afford to
pay for it. q
Let the people remember that tie
failure of our factory is the monopoly
of others, and that once a monopoly in
any product is reached, the people
the consumers are invariably leeched.
Stand by our enterprises, provided
they deal fairly with US.

Among the projects which are now
being quietly agtated among some of
our leading citizens in the country and
10 town is railway or tramway from
Opelousas west which would tap the
heart of the rice country and the
magnificent pine forests of the Nez-
Piqde. There is no doubt that such
road would prove rich investment,
and if supplemented with branch to
connect with a convenient point on the
T. P. R. r. would place Opelousas in a
position to reap all the advantages of
competition, instead of being at the
mercy of monopoly, and would
assist in building up our town as no
other enterprise could do. Our
merchants would then be~enabled to
not only retain their present trade but
also to increase the same to an extent
only limited to their. capacity for
handling it. Tie cost of building this
road aud o:her details have been
thoroughly Investigated and it will not
require as much capital as is generally
supposed to carry out the project.
