Santa Fe Railroad Coming to
Alexandria.

The rapidity with which the Santa
Fe is pushing construction on the
Jasper and Eastern indicates, accord
ing to local authorities, that the COM
pany is more than likely to push on
beyond DeRidder just as rapidly as
possible. There would he little ne
cesrity for this break neck pace now
unless the road intends going to AL
exandria and possibly New Orleans
at once. Yesterday there were six
cars OF contractors material sent to
kirbyville and almost daily ship
ments OF this character are being
made. Engineer Temple stated to an
Enterprise reporter that the work is
now well started and will be pushed.
The utilizing of the local creosoting
plant, In the opinion of the local peO-
pie, also points to the fact that the
road will go on through to points
far more important than DeRidder.
The Santa Fe officials here say that
the reason for the rush Is that De-
Ridder and the stations near there
are furnishing a tremendous tonnage
and that is the reason they are hur-
rying.-Beaumont, Tex, Enterprise,

Twelve Cent Cotton.

The government report shows that
s, COZ, 600 bales of cotton had been GIN
ned up to Nov. 14th. Experts estl-
mate that this represents more than
Of the crop for 1904, as
the good prices in the early part OF
the season caused ginning operations
to be pushed very rapidly. The gen.
eral opinion seems to be that the
crop will he but little II any over
IL ,250,000 bales. President Jordan,
Of the Southern Cotton Growers Pro-
tective Association, is out in a circu-
lar ad vising the farmers to hold their
cotton. He says with the crop prac-
tically gathered and debts generally
made easy 1t is no longer absolutely
necessary to sell at prevailing prices.
and with a uniform demand on the
part of the producers the balance OF
the crop can easily be made to bring
IL cents per pound, which will mean
an additional gain OF $4,000 to the
cotton raisers.

Letter to ). j. O'Qainn,


Dear Sir: You ask how many
square feet a gallon will cover. De-
pends on condition of building.
There is great deal of lying on
this point. The stock claim of living
paints is 300 square feet, two coats.
It's a lie, as rule.
DevOe covers 800 to 500, our agents
think. We think 800 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless, they
both occur. How much the other
paints cover is equally doubtful; we
guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another COM
parisOn. Devoe is all paint, true
paint. strong paint, and full measure;
the Others In general are, at the best,
diluted, adulterated and short meas
ure. They cover according to body
and measure. You can't paint with
ely, lime. chalk. sand, barytes, water
or air-no body In them. Go by De-
voc. Yours truly.

Our Trip to the Worlds Fair

On Nov. 18th the editor of the Col
fax Chronicle left for st. Louis, to at
tend the great Worlds Fair, being
absent nine days on the trip. To at
tempt a description OF the trip and
what we saw would take ten times
the space we have to spare in these
columns, and, as our readers are ia
miliar with descriptions of most OF
the fair attractions, we will not wor-
ry them by a repetition. We took 1t
all in, State and government build
ings. foreign and domestic exhibits,
Esquimos. Indians. PHILIPPINES. Chi
nese, Japanese, and oil the others, to-
gether with about everything on the
Pike, and ride around the great city
of st. Louis thrown in.
On the retnrn we stopped over night
at New Lewisville. Ark. within two
miles of Old Lewisville. where we had
our first experience 81 years ago con-
Quoting newspaper, 1S70-71. when
we had charge OF the Red River Post,
during the stormy days of Recon-
struction. The paper was owned by
Yolney V. Smith, and edited by James
Torrans. Smith was elected Lieut..
Governor on the Republican ticket at
the same time that Powell Clayton
was reelected Governor; also Tor
rams was elected State Senator. Ow-
Ing to the death of the wife of Robt.
s. Woolford, foreman OF the Office,
Woolford declined to stay at Lewis
Vile and get out the paper. The
canvass was on. and, after some dis
cussion as to the propriety of turning
the paper over to this writer, then q
young and red-hot Democrat, it was
decided to risk 1t. At the end of the
canvass Gov. Clayton complimented
us on getting out one OF the best Re
publican papers In the State, and ex-
pressed some curiosity to know how
the thing was managed. He was
greatly amused when we told him,
that whenever we read Republican
lie that made us mad all over, we
said that's good Republican stuff,
and In the paper it went.

Pollock Postoffice Robbed.

Word reached Colfax Thursday of
a robbery that occurred at Pollock
on Wednesday night, in which the
postoffice at that place was robbed
of several hundred dollars. The rob-
bers stole a wagon from the Big Creek
cOmmissary, drove to the postoffice
and put the safe on the wagon and
hauled it off and rified it of the con-
tents. The exact amount stolen
could not be ascertained. but 1t Is re-
ported to be $500 or $500, of which
amount about $3.50 belonged to pri-
vate parties. The safe was found
about a mile from town on the top
OF hill and the wagon was found
near the same place. No clue to the
robbers has been found, but it is
thought they went In the direction of
Alexandria.

On Tuesday of this week the 25
white labOrers recently brought from
st. Louis to work at the Big Pine
sawmili went out on a strike, and
the mill shut down for that day. 1t
Is said the men were promised free
transportation from st. Louis to this
place by the agent, but when pay
day arrived the manager deducted
the amount from their wages. The
men would not go to work unless
they were paid full wages, which was
refused, and they walked out. and
nearly all OF them have since taken
their departure. The mill started up
again on Wednesday, having replaced
the crew of strikers.
