The Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Co., owners of the
Shreveport and Red River Valley
Railroad, announce the opening
of two important branch roads,
or one branch and an extension
of the main line. BY a!time table
printed in this paper it will be
seen that a southern division of
that road is now in operation
south from Alexandria to Big
Bend in Avoyelles Parish, which
puts the road through many
miles of the finest agricultural
territory in the State. and also
gives Shreveport and Alexandria
access to trade territory hereto
fore almost inaccessible except at
great disadvantage.
The Colfax & Northern Branch
Of this road is also open and in
operation from Winfield to
Alexandria. through some Of the
finest long leaf pine timber in the
South. The track laying on this
branch road was finished at Winn-
field last Saturday, and regular
train service put on Sunday,
Dec. 20. The train runs from
Winfield to Alexandria, going
over the main line of the road,
from the Junction and return
every day. This gives the people
of WINFIELD abetter railroad fa-
cilities than they have ever had
before. 1t gives US as good facili-
ties as any other town in the
State, outside of New Orleans and
possibly Shreveport.
Citizens of WINFIELD appreci-
ate the Importance of this new
road. and when the rails were
laid into town and the construc-
tion train pulled into the Arkan.

of citizens were present, inciud.

cooked the hammer, unbreached
it and looked at it.. Huron Dick

him to leave the gun alone. He
handed lthe gun to the boy, for
getting to let the hammer down.
and tola the boy to put it away
somewhere. The boy took the
gun by the stock and .untllough-
cdly touched the trigger. The
bullet was . 38-caliber and struck

a progressive age. "We must
educate and to do this, we must
have a school system, school

but not least, school funds, and if
we have the funds we can have the
other necessities. Now how will
we get the school funds? The
high assessment man says raise
the assessment on property and
let the police jury hold the adva-
loren tax at ten mills, and all the
parish don't need, give it to the
school fund. That is a long way
round to be uncertain what you
will receive after you get there.
And the expense SO much greater

financiers of the parish, and
should cut the taxes as short as
possible for parish expenses. I'll
is only because of their interest
in education, they have held the |
tax at ten mills, giving from one
to two and and one-half mills to |
the school funds. Yet, I claim
shat they should not levy this tax
for the schools, or it should not
be necessary for them to do so.
While there is nothing wrong in
it, yet the people of Winn parish
have it in their power to levy al
tax on all property in the parish
for public education. And this
is the only tax thai is not limited.
I think this was y wise piece of
legislation, as it enables the
people of the several parishes of
this state to vote q tax sufficient
to keep good schools and that
without raising the assessment SO
enormously high. l say let US
take advantage Of this law for the

rhe PASSING Of the Indian.

In lecture recently given Rev Y.
NJ. Corner of Kansas City, presented
the following beautiful sentiment:
His closing hours have come. He
is passing from us in the silence Of
his nature The future viii set his
romance to music and sing his song,
and write inscriptions on great monu-
ments erected to the memory of a
lost race. The history OF the Indian
is the tragedy of race. His sun is
fast setting behind the western hills,
to which he has been driven and which
he loved so well. He has stepped
aside, down and out. When all rec
ords shall have been closed, and the
nations of the earth shall pass under
the eye OF Him who over-rules all, 1t
will be found that the Indian filled
his strange place and bore his peculiar
part in 1t all. We must remember he
was the first American"

Lucid Picture Of Exeursionists.
In Mondays issue Of the Kansas City
Journal appeared the following:
"That excursion from the Indian (
Territory today was the limit" said
a fellow-sufferer of all the other four
teen crowded carloads Of passengers
who came in on the train. The Sc
ductive rate of $3.50 for a SIC round
trip was the material inducing motive
for so many thirsty souls coming up
TO Kansas City today. And the crowd
was so tired when the train arrived
here they may not be severely cen
sured for getting immediate access
to refreshments that are under the
ban in the prohibition territory. |
will not be surprised to learn in the
morning that at least one-fourth Of
the crowd spent the latter part OF
the night in Jail. Some of them de-
setye to, and others were active can
dldates for the hole in the basement
of the city hall before they had been
IN the city many hours.
at was a strenuous crowd from the
beginning. There were deadbeats,
drunkards and pickpockets on the
train Just this side of Big Cabin it
was discovered that several men had
been relieved of their pocketbooks
end while the train was running at
the rate of thirty miles an hour the
search for the robbers had become so
warm that two men jumped off the
train into a pond along the side of
the track. They were thought to have
been the robbers and the amount they
got away with was about $500. The
excitement had not died down before
It became necessary 10 eject a negro
excursionist from the train because he
had not paid his fare. The ejectment
was typical OF the country. The con-
ductor and a deputy United States
marshal picked the negro up and
threw him from the moving train. He
struck the ground at the extreme edge
CT the right-of-way, recovered his
equilibrium at the second rebound and
was seen limping slowly away as the
train pulled on in the dim moon
light"
The returning excursion train was
scheduled to leave the union depot
for Muskogee and other Territory
points at 10 o'clock last night. BY .
o'clock the depot was packed by tired
but no longer thirsty pilgrims. They
had made their irregular but possibly
annual excursion to Kansas City
and were anxious to get away.
It was a night of grief for Colonel
Carnes, the usually well-posted and
polite night depot-master. He was
besieged by questioners with fear in
their eyes and fumes on their
breaths.
when aoes that train go?" asked
one.
What train?"
"Why, that excursion train to Blue
Jacket" was the reply.
"Ten o'clock"
"What time is 1t now??" the excur-
sonist would ask. Then he would
get mad when his attention was di-
rected to the big clock.
Excursions are worse than home
seekers crowds-if they come from
the Indian Territory" said a tired de
pot employe as he answered the same
old question.
