WINFIELD LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY
NOW LET'S HAVE WATER
AND SEWERAGE.

On last Friday the WiHnheld
Electric Light and Power Com
pany's dynamo arrived, having
been on the road for some time
,, past. 1t was soon placed in po-
sition and on Saturday night,
almost without warning, the
machine was started and the cur
rent turned on number of stores
and business houses, though the
street lights were not yet used.
The store of Mrs. S. A. Wright,
Fisher Dry Goods Company, J..
G Teagle, Smith & Gresham Drug
Company, O'Quin & Gibson. the
Post Office, Siess- Belcher Com
pany, Phoenix Drug Store. the
Comrade Hotel and EIkhorn
Grocery Company were all ablaze
with light and crowds visited the
different places admiring the
effect of the lights on the stocks
of goods. On Sunday night the
street lights were turned on as
we'll as the lights in the stores.
The effect was marvellous One
could hardly realize the fact that
he was in WINFIELD.
The light is of superior quail
ity and up 10 the most sanguine
expectations, and the mouth of
the croaker was closed like a
clam.
Now that We have lights, the
next and most important public
utility that can be brought into
use is water works and sewerage
system. That we need more than
anything else. We need the
water for fire protection, to reduce
our high rate of insurance. We
need it to induce industries to
come here and locate. We need
a good pure drinking water and
water to operate a system of
sewerage. which is badly needed
for the public health and comfort.
Now that our new town council
will soon go into office. we would
like they would lay the corner
stone of their future public acts
by inaugurating system of water
works, partial one if not COM
plete. No town ever put in
complete system all over the town
at first. but arranged their COM
mencement SO that they could
be added to at any time.
We are committed to municipal
ownership. but, we want and
need water works and if we can't
own it ourselves let us have it
any way.
The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1906-05-11
the NEED OF MORE BUSINESS HOUSES.

The Sentinel several weeks ago
announced that there was on foot
a movement to erect a brick hotel
in Winfield and that a wholesale
hardware and mill supply bus
mess was in contemplation.
Since that time negotiations have
been progressing. but we under
stand that the hitch comes from
the fact that the owners ofthe
available property hold their
property at prices that are pro-
hibitive. 1t seems to us THAT if
property owners who have de-
sirable locations for business
would build up-to-date and suit
able BUSINESS houses, there
would be no trouble to rent them
at fair and even at high rates.
This condition of affairs seems
to have existed in all Of the
larger towns Of the State, such as
Monroe. Shreveport. Alexandria
and many others. There was a
common saying there that there
can be no progress until we have
a change in ownership" We
hope that the property owners OF
Winfield will awake to the
interest and advancement of the
town and either sell the available
at a fair price or improve
it so that it can be utilized. Wei
know Of four or FIVE different
firms who are anxious to come to
WINFIELD and engage il business
t they could secure house, but
10 not feel justified Or able to pay
he extravagant prices asked for
property and build On il.

DUGOEMoNIA MANAGEABLE.

There is no reason why VIM
field should not be in the same
position as Monroe, Shreveport
and Alexandria on railroad rates,
on account of being On nav
igable stream. We say navigable
stream, because we have seen a
steamboat at Gorham's Bridge
on the Dugdemonia, which is
only one mile from the court
house. The government is plac-
ing locks in the Ouachita River.
in order to give the residents
along that stream navigation all
the year. With two locks, one in
Little River and one in Dug
demonla, there is no reason why
|Dugdemonia should not be nav
igable to Winfield all the year.
The State of Louisiana in years
gone BY gave to Daniel Kelly and
Thomas Crawford a large amount
o. the state lands lying on the
banks of the Dugdemonia for.
cleaning off the oyerhaneine
trees and removing the obstruc-
tons to navigation in the stream,
and now every year barges of
slaves are boated out of Dug
demonia. We think that our rep
resentatiye in congress might
move in the matter if the proper
effort is made. .Water trans
portation is the great regulator
OF railroad rates. = There are
many commodities that can be
transported by water cheaper
than by rail. The first thing to
De done is to get TIE government
TO make survey IF the stream
and then we can get d list of the
tonnage that would be accessible
% the stream. There are many
streams throughout the United
States that are nor Under the
