A New Railroad.
Crowley SiGNal, April s.

! Crowley Signal, April 8.
Another railroad for Acadia parish is
among the probabilities of the near fu-
ture. Under the direction of Messrs. G..
Z. and w. w. DusOD, surveyors have
past week been making a preliminary
north and south survey in the western
portion of the parish. The start was
made at the crossing of the Southern
Pacific railroad, three miles west of Es
therwOod, running thence north along
tho line of township l west to POinte
aux-Loups Springs and on through the
German settlement and Mamou prairie.
As to what will be the objective point
of the road, the Signal is not in a posi-
toward Cheneyvile. 1t has not yet
been definitely decided just how far the
survey will be made at the present time
Though the line now being run is only
preliminary survey, and while it is
possible that circumstances may devel-
op that would alter or entirely change
the present course, there are the best
reasons for believing that road will be
built. A north and south road, while it
be but branch line of the Southern Pa
citic, will be big thing for tie resi-
dents Of that portion Of the parish
through which it may pass, and will
open up for communication by rail
large section of tile country.
There is very large difference be-
tween simply making preliminary sur
vey and building road, but this road
will doubtless be built, and whether it
runs on the route of the present survey
or on an entirelp different line, will de-
pend largely upon local conditions and
the property owners along the proposed

There is a loud demand throughout the
State for the enactment of law which
will put stop to these degrading, dis

and we trust that when the time comes
our two Senators and three Represen-

morality and common decency.

world TO the ways OF righteousness.
The music at this service was excellent in
itself and very appropriate to the day. At
the second service there was evening prayer
and the first of a series of sermons on the

be by internal dissensions and nm

because it brings into play, as never be-
fore, the splendid mental powers of the
