OFFICIAL ORGAN

PARISH OF CADDO
THE PEOPLE'SBELT RAILWAY
COMPANY

At the session of the city councl'
held Ausust z, there was submitted
an ordinance which provides the
grant of & franchise, right-of-wsy'
ETC., to the Peoples Belt Railway
Company for a term of ninety-nine
years.
This ordinance was referred to the
ordIpsace committee and will, in
time, be called for consideration in
the coancil.
The Caucasian is always in favor
of enterprises which promise devel.
opment and will stimulate progress,
but under no plea or circumstance
could we favor the grant to any indi-
yidual or company of privilege for
so long q time as ninety-nine years.
Il is assumed that the gentlemen
connected With the company reasoned
that It would be just as easy to ask
for s privilege extending a century
slInostfas to fix the limit tor shorter
time. ConcediBg then that the COM
. pany has agreed TO accept a grsnt
lImited to twenty five years what are
6dysntaserS heb win 30 derived
"a The enterprise fsZ-s4ade that
e main purpose of the promoters
nd the organizers of the company is
o make money;-it is a venture ia
which they propose to invest capital
and from which they expect profta-
bic returns. This Is reasonable and
logical.
Il may be conceded that Shreve-
por, Is in need of another belt rail-
way, and the line projected is to
cover aterrltory which Is not reached
by the company now in service. The
operation on the Peoples Belt Rail-
way on the lines suggested will make
valuable much property on the out
nkirts ana In the corporate limits. 1t
will encourage the building Of homes
Il will cause the city to expand and
to grow; 1t win enhance the valuation
for assessment and 1t will afford OPP
portunity to people to ride who now
must walk from aud to their homes
and places of business and occupa-
tIon, and il viii benefit the public in
many respect.
with the modification of ninety
nine years to twenty-five years and
with reasonable concessions which
should be reserved to the city and to
the paople, Il Is safe to assume that
the Peoples Belt Railway Company
will receive favorable consideration
At the hands of the city council.

The BLESSINGS of cycle.Paths.

n6 CleSSlHSS VI SySiC'F athS'
With the construction OF cycle.paths
now in contetn plation. touring on an
extensive scale. which is now itnprac.
ticable in many parts of the United
States. will not only become possible,
but pleasurable.
Nor can the proposed development
IN this respect fail Of giving wonder
full impetus to the sport of wheeling,
as we'll as lead to more general use
of the bicycle in recreative life.
1t Is occasion for native chagrin to
compare the touring facilities Of the
United States with those of European
countries. One excuse, that We can
not afford the expensive roads of those
countries, no longer exists. The cycle
path is not expensive. We can af-
ford it. and we cannot afford to do
without it.
Besides providing healthful, pleas
urable means Of recreation for our
selves, it will tend to feep numbers OF
tourists and money at home, and off
set the stream of both which con-
tinually flows from the United States
to Europe. The trunkline system Of
ride-paths for bicycles will make it
POSSIBLE for United States citizens Of
moderate means. to see and know
omething Of their own country be-
,!des what they read in books. Not
,he least of it's blessings will be a
checking of that neurotic condition
prevalent among Americans, which g
German physician calls Americanitis.

The CrematcrV Trust.

The recent published announcement
that movement had been set on foot
to consolidate all the crenatorieS of
the United States and Canada into enc
association for the purpose Of fixing a
uniform price for incineration is rot
one that those sensitive on the subject
Of trusts need view with alarm.
"a crematory trust is Impossible"
said a person we'll informed on th;;
somewhat depressing subject. for the
cost Of incineration depends entirely
on the cost of coal. Coal may be SIP
4 ton in California and 81 q ton here.
1t may be almost nothing ut all at
place like Fort Wayne. Ind, but they
haven't any crematory there. But it
would be quite impossible to establish
anything like uniform price"
AT present the cost of incineraticn
depends somewhat on the circum-
stances of each case, although in New
York the regular price is S35 for adults.
There are. however, in connection with
most crematorieS. relief funds" es-
tablished by societies or by individual
donations. with which the expenses Of
incineration for those who have eX-
pressed 4 wish that their bodies he
thus disposed of after death. but have
left no money to provide for it, may
be met. The methods in these cases
are somewhat similar to those used in
hospitals. where patient pays what
he can afford to pay-New York Sun.

Walks and Drives Through Lawns,

Walks and subsidiary drives must be
provided where people want to walk
or where they expect to drive. Neither
is artistic in itself. Every foot of
walk or drive is a trouble, an expense
and usually distinct detraction from
the artistic beauty of the place. They
should, then, be designed to fit the
actual demands Of traffic about the
place. The most practicable thing Is
often to await the most explicit call
for walk. When a path begins to
appear through the grass. the need of
a walk is manifest and it's general d.
rection pretty accurately indicated.
Gentle curves are better than
straight lines for walks, except upon
small places or in geometrical plan.
These curves must be determined by
the exercise of good taste and juds
ment, on the ground A design ma6a
on paper is apt to be very unsatisfac-
tory when transferred to the soil, un.
less it is made by an experienced hand
from an accurate typographical sur
vey. Even then it may not fit. Curves
made up of arcs Of circles are not very
satisfactory, unless the arcs are com
paratively short and judiciously com.
bined. If a road is properly made, only
very short arc will be visible from
any point; and this enables the de-
signer when working on the ground

five questions asked, which is better
than the average male engineer does.
He says: 81 never was more surprised
in my life than when I entered the
engine room of the mill where this
young woman is employed, for she is
barely eighteen. The machinery was
as clean as new pin; there wasn't Il
speck of rust on it, and she was shov-
elling coal into the furnace and look
ing after the fifty horse power engine
in a way that indicated that she thor
oughly understood her business. She
was the only person about the mill,
and yet the plant was running perfect
", and her employers had left her in
charge, apparently, with every con-
tidence that she was fully competent
and responsible.

to make many curves and combina.
tions of curves which would be decid-
edly unpleasing if accurately platte:i
on map.
When a walk or drive branches, each
arm should take such a course as to
appear to be the proper continuation
of the trunk. Imagine how one arm
would look with the other removed.
Would it still be complete? Would the
whole seem to be the perfectly natural
course for the walk? Such bifurca-
tions should not be at too obtuse an
angle; and yet this angle of divergence
is of quite minor Importance if the
foregoing consideration is kept fully
in mind. The right and the faulty
way of laying out branching walks il

diagram.-F. A. Waugh, in American

Germany in Brazil is topic rare

German settlements in South America
are the most flourishing Of which the
FatheIand can boast. Since the be-
ginning of the present century German
emigrants have struggled against fear

traction find q comfortable home
there. Large German colonies exist

have either the intention or the wish
to constitute themselves an indepen-
