The High School Bulletin
EpIToR-N-oHIEF, LEONARD HARRIS.

Panama in Picture and Prose" was
vastly interesting and highly educative.
AS the scenes were thrown upon the
screen so effective was their beauty and
so strong their reality that it seemed
as though one could almost scent the
fragrance OF the flowers and lingering
in the shade of the oriental palms feel
the breath of the zephyrs as they
murmured through the overhanging
branches. The trip through the canal
route fully substantiated the facts
related by the speaker with regards to
the immensity Of the amount Of time,
labor and currency necessary for its
completion. Along the way heaps of
wreckage reminded us of the effort the
French company had put forth, but the
lack of preservative qualities and finan-
cial resources finally landed them in
the arms of bankruptcy. They sold the
proposed route to U. S. for the sum of
$40, 0,0O0,000.OO.
Our government took up the reins
that the French had dropped and have
so pushed the work required that they
can almost discern in the distant realms
of futurity the time when the peaceful
waters of the Pacific will mingle with
the turbulent waters of the mighty
Atlantic mid the palns of Panama.
The present estimations are that it will
require period of twenty years, and
an aggregate cost of not less than
100000, 100000. 1t means much to U. S.
from the commercial standpoint of view
and the European powers are in
clined to feel somewhat uneasy as they
behold the progress of American de-
Termination.
The Seniors are almost persuaded to
think that their new German classic is
rather immense"
One OF the teachers had terrible
accident (if you wish to call it that q
short time ago, and from present indi-
cations the results seem to be affecting
her again.
Juniors, remember 'tis always the
truth that hurts.
One OF the Freshies almost brought
his teacher an apple last week-bu. he
ate it.
Mrs. Rev. Mckay conducted the
chapel exercises of the lower grades

Obituary..

Leslie Hoffpauir was born in Acadia
Parish Sep. Is, 1879, and died at the
home Of his father, Archie Hoffpauir,
three miles east of Alden Bridge, Aug.
6, 1905, at I o'clock pm.
He came to this parish four years
since, and identified himself with the
business as we'll as with the social world.
Leslie made many friends, and pos
sessed inestimable traits of character.
Those who knew him best say he was an
exceptionally moral, and bade fair to
become useful man.
Truly Gin such an hour as We think
not'' does He come, and ellis ways are
past finding out" Just as the last rays
of the evening sun were kissing the hor-
lion a farewell for the day the spirit o.
Leslie Hoffpauir winged its flight to it,
eternal home.
May it please the good Lord to dea
graciously with the bereaved ones il

BELIEVES IN GOOD PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.

Ia the Editor Of the Bossier Banner:
have read with much interest the articles on
roads in your last issue, and note also your ed
itorial. 1t is subject on which much can be said
with benefit to the people of this parish and you are
doing good work to keep it before your readers.
AS one of your subscribers, l hope you will con-
tiuue to do SO.
There is an effort being made to have good
roads meeting and demonstration in this parish this
fall-under the auspices of the Office of Road In
quiries, of the United States Department of Agri-
culture. This will be an object lesson from which
we can learn much
believe the time has arrived for the citizens of
this community to take up this subject with vim
and vigor. This parish is particularly favored with
good road material for making roads, and the de-
sired result can be obtained at much lower cost
than usual All of US feel the need of better roads
and bridges, but there many who do not know
how to get the best results with the materials and
funds available.
| To guard against the serious mistakes made in
some of the Central States, should hold frequent
meetings. and the demonstration under competent
road engineers This much can probably be done
without costing the parish cent, as there are
enough public-spirited citizens who believe that ar
agricultural community can have no greater bles'
sing than good system of public highways, anc
who will supply the small amount needed for the
demonstration. LOUIS G. BULKLEY,

This Merchant Don't Feel So Blue.

A prominent merchant of Bienville, who in times
past has followed ''old Beck up and down many a
cotton row, recently confessed to this scribbler, in
heart to heart talk, that he was far from feeling
as gloomy over the cotton outlook as numerous OF
his customers His belief is that there will be
considerably over half crop made in Bienville
Parish, even under present conditions and that if
the weather continues far few days longer it is
not at all improbable fair crop will result. He is
one of those men who watch conditions closely, from
year to year, exercises good sound judgement and
his optimism to say the least, is far more logical
than the indigo predictions of the calamity howlers
-1curtli0 Argts.
