need is free ferriage at Hale's ferry.
This can be obtained at an expendi-
ture of $500 per annum or perhaps
less. Our merchants should see to it
that this is placed there. Adjacent
Arkansas would also give us her
trade. Sixteen wagons came from
there this week and they VIII continue
this if they can secure this free ferry
at Hale. Awake to your interests,
merchants, put through this enter

STRIKE WHILE THE IRONS HOT.

Another Pointer For Our Merchants.
The merchants of Shreveport now
have an opportunity to secure a trade
which has for years has gone else
where. This trade is in Ward One,
between Black Bayou and the Texas
line, Heretofore Atlanta has been
the privileged town in securing this
business which is considerable. The
citizens of the lower part of this
ward, the locality referred to, are anx-
ious to bring their trade to Shreve-
port. They realize that It is better
market for both buying and selling.
For instance one day recently bacon
was selling in Atlanta for 16c while
in Shreveport the price was only 12!c,
while cotton brought a considerable
better price here than there.
Just now this trade can come by
wagon because Black bayou is down,
but when it rises they cannot, except

MADAM RUM0R SAYS:


Louisiana street, between Cotton and
Crockett, should be forced to put
down some semblance of a sidewalk,
anything that will be an improve
ment on the lone and slippery plank
which lies there so desolate and so
dangerous to limb or life of pedes-
trians.
That she hopes that Texas avenue
Will be put in condition for easy travel
by Fair time.
That honest criticism cannot be
ruthlessly disdained.
That our police jury should have
sidewalks put to the courthouse
square and walk to the steps from
these pavements.
That the old timer will try to get
in good work during the Fair.
That She wonders who really owns
that gambling saloon in the Phoenix
hotel building.
That parents deserve no commits
seration in the moral wrecks of their
children, who will not try to save
them by suppressing such cess pools
as dram shops violating the Sunday
law, and gambling dens running faro
and other banking games.
That if ministers would preach
against designated evils which exist
in our town, instead of sin generally,
they would do far more good here.
That if mothers would see some of
the black feathers in their white
crows, and assist The PRoGREss in
destroying the painter before he can
accomplish his work of giving their
children full coat of black, they
would have fewer heartaches to en-
dure.
That the mothers and fathers of
Shreveport are as much to blame for
immortality among their children as
anything else. She says if they
would interest themselves in sup
pressing vices and pay less attention
to business policy, they would have
less to disturb them on account of
their wayward offspring.
That Shreveport will soon have a
criminal law school, the faculty to be
composed of her police force.
That in the Nash case the Supreme
Court encountered questions too
deep for it, and it was forced to call
in council Shreveport's extraordinary
policeman who soon Strengthened out
the kinks.
That now is a good time to get up
that petition for changing the city
charter.
That the police jury has had good,
substantial and convenient ap-
proaches built and attached to the
ierryboat at Mooringsport.
That the police jury should estab-
iish a free ferry at Hale's ferry, on
Black bayou, without dely.
That fourteen wagons loaded with
cotton crossed the ferry at Moorings-
port on the 23d inst. en- route 10
Shreveport, and that ten of them
were from the vicinity of Hale, on
the east or north side of Black bayou.
That people should have the saddle
and harness taken off the animals In
the Star Wagon Yard before buying
or trading as they are kept on to hide
serious defects.
That our citizens should provide
themselves with tickets to assist the
Street Railway Companies in expe-
diting travel.

high, but of staff silvered over with
ingots, and silver bearing ores placed
in handsome cases at the bottom.
The exhibit is from the Broken Hill
mine, the richest in New South
Wales, and the 30-foot column rep
resents a 10th of the bulk of actual
silver that has been taken out of the
mines in seven years. The total
product of silver from the mine has
been 80, 800, 900 ounces, and of lead
152, 900 tons. The mine has weekly
average of 22O, 900 ounces of pure
silver. There will be smaller pyr-
amids from other mines but none so
large as the Broken Hill.
Next to the silver pyramid, along
the front of the space reserved for
New South Wales, will be a column
of copper ingots. There are six tons
of copper in the column, which is ten
feet high and q handsome trophy.
Next is column of anthony, then
