ShreNepOrt Fair.

Much has beer Sid in regard to
or: coming Fair and Exposition.
This is the eighth annual fair. Why
should it not be the greatest and best
of all? There is no telling what the
future may bring. 1t may be, how
ever, the stepping stone to greater
and grander exhibitions than the peo-
pie of Shreveport ever dreamed of.
In the event of either, why not bend
every energy to make a arOaring sue
cess?
We know this, that word comes
to US through letter from a gentle
man from Old Kentucky, to Secretary
Horan, that be will be here with forty
others to attend our fair.
When such encouraging letters as
this and others of like nature asking
for space are received daily by Cap
tain Horan, even before they have
yet seen our attractive catalogue,
which is going in every direction
through Uncle Sans mails, every
body at home should be thoroughly
aroused on the subject to make this
the greatest and best. As the time
draws nearer we are daily becoming
more enthused on this subject,
and the people of Shreveport want
everybody to know it. Times are
going to be better and we almost
know that by the time our grand
fair comes off there will be more
money ln 5 Shreveport than Garter had
oats. Confidence is already being re-
stored and the people will bring out
their old socks THAT have been the
hiding place. of the silver dollars for
some time past and everybody will
be in good hnmor
Shreveport7s Fair and Exposition
is going to be a grand success. Let

city and North Lo0isians at heart

IF THEY HAVE A TITLE.
Wonderful Things Southern Pacific
People Nav Do.

The publication by THE CALL yesterday
of the plans of the Southern Pacific rela-
tive to filling in that portion of the water
front across the bay around which piles
have been driven was the topic OF conver-
sation among great many people.
During quite conversation yesterda v
Vice-Pres esident Croker expressed himself
freely as to the position of affairs. He
said, in substance, that the piles now
being put down, were, as had been stated,
for the purpose Of marking the lines of
work contemplated for the future.
"The work we have in view,' said he.
sis stupendous in its proportions, and
when completed will afford shipping facili-
ties greater by far than those at Port
Costa 1t is not our intention 10 fence in
the property OF the Oakland Waterfront
Company, and we don't want to fight for
what we have.
AS to the improvements contem plated,
Mr.. Crocker said nothing Of Importance
would be done until the question of title
was decided, but that if affairs terminated.
as the company hoped they would some
wonderful changes would be effected across
the bay.
1t is the intention, he said. of the COM
pany to make Oakland the grand terminus
of all the roads. and for this purpose
large area of territory is of course required
for the construction of tracks. deDt is, etc.
An intimation of a projected immense
system of elevators was also dropped, and
the whole tenor of the gentleman's re-
marks indicated that the plans OF the cor
poration are in an advanced state for all
the work which is contemplated.

BIG BERTHA.
The Confidence Queen Desires to
Return to This CITY.


Among the exiles in the East who are
anxious to return to San Francisco Is Mrs.
Bertha Burch, better known as big
Bertha, the Confidence Queen"
After her trial for felony, in the course
of which she achieved considerable MOTOR
iety, Bertha was engaged as star for the
Bella Union Theater. She reached tho
pinnacle of her fame when her avoirdupois
was quoted at $50 pounds. One of her
most popular roles was boxing contest
with Oofty Goofty. in which she invariably
knocked out the hard-muscled professor.
When she left this city she went first to
Portland. After a brief residence there
she drifted Eastward in connection with a
speciality company. She has been feature
of the variety theaters of Chicago during
the past year, but she pines for breath OF
salt air from the Golden Gate. This city
was the scene of her greatest trlumphs in
sharp practice, and she desires to return to
her old stamping-ground.
A few davs ago she wrote the following
letter to Ned Foster, proprietor of the
Bella Union:
Well, Ned. as 1 am doing nothing 1 thought
| would ask you whether you need a mana
You we'll know that l understand that part of ir
thoroughly and that would make my salary
any night In The week; that work entirely for
the managers interest you also know, so If you
once. Think this proposition over quick and
answer by return mail. With best wishes and
kind regards to yourself and all hands. remain
always your friend, BERTHA
Mr.. Foster has not yet concluded whether
or not the condition OF business will justify
salary named. SO Big Bertha's proposition
still hangs fire.
