Structure.

New Orleans, La: The building of
hotel at once of the gulf coast re-
sorts of Louisiana has been talked OF

various efforts in that direction. Shell

Grand Isle leading on account of It's
splendid surf bathing. The main diff.
Guilty there has been lack of transpor-

been developed Of building a railroad
there and the charter of a company
has already been recorded, that objec.
ton may be overcome.
At the presentm oment there IS un.

ported that the plan includes adequate
