SHREVEPORT SEEMINGLY IN IT.
For $35O,OO0, the K. C. P. & G. Road
Will Build There and Estab-
lish Shops.

General Manager W. A. Williams,
of the Texarkana & Ft. Smith rail
road, arrived home from Shreve-
port, La, on Friday night, and he
tells TExARKANIAN reporter, that
Mr.. Martin and the Board of Direc-
tors made Shreveport proposition
that if that town and parish would
give them $3.50, 900, payable in ten
years, they would run their road
there and make it a divisional point
and also establish their company
shops. The committee of citizens
who were appointed to meet the
road officials, agreed to accept the
proposition, provided the vote could
be secured to place this amount on
the parish, and Shreveport. They
expressed themselves as confident
that such could be done. The M.
X. & 7. people, we're there also, and
the city offered them $50, to ex-
tend their line from Jefferson, Tex
as, to that place, which was accept
ed.
This looks like TexarKana is
knocked entirely out, but, there's
many slip betwixt the cup and
the lip" and as it will take at least
$5OO,0 to build bridges and tres
ties to reach Shreveport, and the
additional fact that the people are
not given to voting tax on them
selves, it may turn about the K, G,
P. & G. road will yet reconsider its
Shreveport proposition and put its
shops here. We can now hope that
the slip and lip" affair may play a
prominent part in this matter

ed to speak of afterward, which
can not be said of the performances
which are being given daily at the
museums in this city, The different

The Trilby fad is passing, 1t has
got to cheap restaurants now, and
if you go into one and order pigs
feet, with potatoes on the side, the
waiter will call out to the cook,
'Trilby's for one and Little Billies
on the sides" Though some of the
first class cheap John store still
have Trilby sales,
When | return to TeXarkana,
which at present outlook will be in
about four years or so,maybe not so
long, | would like to see Broad street
paved from Laurel street to Swami
poodle and a boulevard system COM
posing Wooten and Preston Springs,
and College Hill, A few more write
ups in such papers as the Chicago
Record, will inspire the Texarkan-
ians with a spirit Of progress that
will bring about such result, Then
there should be a small park some
where near the middle OF town,
where people could go and loiter
under the shade trees and see the
town grow On a real hot day one
can not complacently lean against
an awning post and properly appre-
ciate the efforts Of enterprising cit.
iaens. There is always preponder-
ant class which Is disposed to think
out the problems and watch others
execute them, There certainly
should be a resting place for them
this side Of the grave, and a park
Of the size Of Court Square, In Mem
phis, would be equal to the desire Of
the present generation of that
class, then the next generation may
have a larger idea of what would
please them, 1t would not be ne
cessary to have statue OF Andrew
Jackson IN the park, but ! would
suggest one of the lamented Dr.
Beldler. He was a man whom few
knew but to admire, Now, | hope
that no one will be injured in the
struggle to carry out the "oliglna"
IDEAS above expressed, but there
will be enough doctors In the city
to resusitate those who may chance
to be overcome by It's suddenness'

The Coming Normal.

The teachers of Miller county
will please pardon my importantly
in urging their their attendance
upon the Normal to be held at this
place beginning on May 9th. 1t
means much to our schools. 1t
means better teachers, better
wages, better schools and a better
citizenship, The success we make
of it will determine whether or not
the annual four weeks normal is to
be made a permanent thing.
The people are contributing of
their means more literally than
ever before for the education of
their children, and they have a
right to demand that teachers ft
themselves for the work which they
are paid to do, Tuition will be free
and Board at reduced rates.
Directors should arrange for their
summer schools to begin not earlier
than June 20. Teachers will give
much better service after having
spent a month in the normal.
DProf, Chas 7, Gordon, one Of the
leading educators of the state, will
have charge Of the work. The work
is designed especially for the teach.
ers Of the rural school, not to show
them how graded schools in cities
and towns are taught, but instruct
them in the best methods of organ.
izing, controlling and teaching such
schools as they are called upon to
teach.

This beautiful drama was played
to a full house at yesterdays matt
nee. The TExARKANIAN reporter
climbed the steps to the opera
house, and tarrled there long enough
to hear a soul stirring overture
played by McCanns orchestra, and
to note the sea of pretty faces,
crowned with beautiful and tastily
trimmed hats, The box Office was
doing good business when the
reporter made his exit. The play
was well rendered, Is what everyone
says, and each actor and actress
received their full share of ap.

A WANT TO BE FILLED

The destruction by fire last evening of
the Raymond Hotel removes one of the
greatest and most widely known hostel
ries of the kind in the United States. 1t
was distinctly a tourists resort, and
catered only to the wealthy OF that leisure
killing class. 1t had become one of the
landmarks OF Southern California, and
indirectly has been the agency through
which this section became familiar to
people who would hardly have known it
otherwise. In this latter parti cular it has
demonstrated the value of a luxuriously
appointed and capably managed hotel to a
community. Its financial success has
upset the calculations of those who sagely
predicted the failure of enterprises of its
character conducted along frst-class
lines. Now that it is gone there exists
added incentive and multiplied reason
for the construction of an appropriate
hotel in this city. Los Angeles possesses
sites equally as commanding and capable
of being beautifed to any extent desired.
She is approaching the era Of metrop oil
tan existence; she is bidding for people
willing and able to pay for the luxuries
of modern city life, but she is sadly lack
ing in modern metropolitan furnishings.
1t is of little use to invite strangers for
the entertainment of whom we lack to
humiiating and inexcusable degree the
facilities The character and value Of
houses of public entertainment Il COM
munity can SHOW, always measure the
progress. enterprise and advancement
of its people. The building
of strictly up-to-date hotel,
gencies of the future, and not alone
those of today, in an attractive and accesi-
bic location, would prove a spirited fac
tor in the stimulation of real esta values;
and the men owning realty and hoping
to derive therefrom handsome specul:-
tive profit could over and over again
for supplying the kind Of hotel that
every body agrees we need. but that no.
body seems willing TO PROVIDE one that
will he creditablc to the munic patty
and responsive to the dem nds of the
pilgrims who come to tarry with us. If "a
few men will Go nothing the many can.
The organizations whose functions are
the creation of public sentl ment in be-
half OF the general welfare can do little
of more immediate consequence to Los
Angeles than the promotion OF this oh
ject
We need hotel
We need it now.
