The southern sentinel., 1907-03-01

the parish has II representative
on the Police Jury and that body
will have exclusive authority to
arrange the propos, d road system
and to disburse the funds. This
paper has confidence i'm the IN
tegrIty and honesty of every
member of that body. And we
believe that the people as whole
have the saline confidence i'm them.
Some attempts have been made
to inject politics into the propo-
sition, but The Sentinel Is graf
flied to note that the people gen,
orally look ut the matter from
a business viewpoint and are not
willing to mix il up with a polit-
ical fight. The matter of good
public roads is of more vital
Importance to the welfare of our
parish as a whole than the success
or failure of any politician or
political party. 1t is a matter
that concerns every one and every
interest alike and one that must
be decided definitely in the near
future, and the sooner the better,
that our parish may continue in
the vanguard of the progressive
and prosperous parishes of our.
State.
The Sentinel hopes that the
voters will see the proposition in
the broadcast light and vote
fayorably next Tuesday. Our
hope is founded on the belief
that it is good proposition, the
greatest and most important
move the Police Jury has ever
made, one that if favored and
continued will carry Winn parish
forward as nothing else has ever
done.
The following commissioners
and clerks have been appointed
to hold the election at the differ
ent precincts:

SPECIAL ROAD
TAX ELECTION
There Is But Little Doubt that
the Tax will be Voted on
Tuesday, March 5.

Next Tuesday, March 8, is the
day named for voting on the
proposition of levying road tax
on the property in Winn parish
to raise a fund for making good
roads throughout the parish. No
campaign. practically. has been
made either for or against the
proposition, except what has
been said by and through the
papers of the parish. and possibly
some local or precinct discussion.
1t is believed by practically
everyone that the tax will be
voted and that the parish will
thus lay the foundation for a
system of good public roads
second to none in the state.
Some few people are opposed to
special taxes, but when as i'm this
case, the tax is for the direct
benefit of the citizens of the
parish and the greater portion of
it to be collected from non-res-
idents who own our taxable
wealth, their opposition loses its
influence, and it is believed that
property holders who would not
vote tax for railroads and other
corporate enterprises will vote
this tax for their own benefit
and for the upbuilding of the
parish.
The burden of what little oppo-
sition has shown up so far has
been the lack of detail in the
ordinance providing for the
election. Anyone Is willing to
admit, however. that an entire
change in the roads system of the
parish can not be made In one
ordinance providing for an
election to vote on q tax propo
sition. The details of q new
system must be worked out and
embodied in an ordinance after q
change of the old system il
decided on, and this election is
for the purpose of getting an
expression of the people on the
subject of changing the system.
which we all admit needl
changing. and of raising funds
with which to work the roads
after the change is made. There
j. little In the opposition argn-
ment Is founded on the lack Of
detail, and if It did have weight

MAY LEAVE THE STATE.
AnheusCP- Busch Brewing Association
Tires of Kansas Battle.

The Anhcuser-Busch Brewing asso-
citation has made signs which indi-
cate that it viii at once surrender to
the dictates of the Kansas supreme
court. and sell all it's property in Kan
sas and leave the state.
The attorneys asked the supreme
court for a complete list of costs and
fees thus far in the case, and it is be-
lieYed that as soon as this bill is COM
pleted the company will pay the bill
and then sell it's property as quickly
as possible. This action means that
the company will not appeal the
custer suit 10 the supreme court of the
United States.
The costs in the case will amount to
about $4,000. This includes the $3.50
allowed by the court to each of the
three receivers and the court costs of
about 5000. The company has notified
the receivers that it will at once pro-
coed with the removal of it's personal
property from Kansas and as soon as
this is done it will begin selling its
real estate.
state valued at close to 100000. The
receivers will still retain control of
this property until 1t is sold and the
deeds are in the hands of the new
purchasers. AS fast as piece of
property is sold the receivers will re-
lease 1t.
This is the second victory for the
attorney general in the brewery cases,
as the attorneys for the Val Blatz
Brewing company announced a week
ago that that company would pay the
costs at once and move out of the
state at the earliest possible date.

DARK FORTY-EIGHr HOTrRs
A Volcanic Outburst Causes Great Suf-
fering in Kamtchatka.

San Francisco, July 15.-The out
burst of volcano on the peninsula of
Kamtchatka. on February Is last
threw the whole country into utter
darkness for more than As hours and
resulted in the starving of scores of
natives. according to the officers of the
barkentine S. n. Castle which reached
port last evening, direct from the
OkhOtSk sea.
The natives. some of whom could
speak English. told Captain Petersen
and his men that they had no knowl-
edge of the source of the terrible
storm that had come upon them. They
knew only that while they were cross
ing the valleys in the first flush of
spring a wave of dust fell upon them,
followed by utter darkness that con-
tinued for two days and nights. Lava,
almost hot, fell about them and there
were such showers of black ashes that
their progress was stayed and they
were lucky to find undried creeks and
springs. But the party of natives was
in dire straits and some of them had
succumbed to their hardships. In re-
Spouse to their request Captain Peder-
