Milling company, which controls
a process for turning straw into
paper pulp. has arranged to take
over the Marsden company of
Philadelphia and, it is said, will
form an important combination
of independent paper concerns
with a view of entering the white
paper field. Representatives Of
the company now declare the
process is effective, and that in
stead of denuding the forests of
this country and Canada to pro
vide pulp for making paper the
new combination will be able to
utilize straw from the enormous
wheat and rice crops of the west
and south, which have hereto
fore been of small value.
1t is.said that the turning out
of paper under the patents held
by the company will require no
change in tie machinery Of
paper mills after the pulp has
been pounded. The finest fiber
for paper a be Obtained from
rice straw. and there is an i'm
mense supply of this product to
be drawn from. The need of an
additional supply of pulp can be
understood by the fact that many
mills in the northwest have been
obliged to shut down because OF
a scarcity of wood pulp, and this
is further evidenced by the fact
that the price Of the wood pulp
has advanced 81 per ton within a
short period.
The representative of % mills
in Michigan is in this city for the
purpose of contracting for a
supply of straw pulp. and the
officers say that engagements
have been made for all the pulp
that the company can turn out.

~lNTERCOASTAL CANAL
Proposed Change in Route in
teresting to Lafayette.

| Special to The Times Democrat.
Abbeville, Feb. 3.-The inter-
coastal canal provided for in the
rivers and harbors bill now be-
fore Congress is regarded as a
measure of vital Importance to
this section and the people are
manifesting a lively interest in
the matter. 1t is proposed, how
ever, to advocate a slight change
in the route, thereby opening up
ii much larger extent of fertile
territory. Henry L. Gueydan
has appeared before the Abbeville
Business League in order to en-
list it's support of a project to
tconnect the upper Teche and
Vermi i by dredging out
Bayou Fusilier, which leaving the
Teche at Arnaud vile flows in a
westerly direction about six
miles, when it flows into the YER
million about twelve miles above
Lafayette. The route is entire
ly practicable and requires only
a moderate amount of dredging
to become navigable. In the year
1882, during the high water of
that spring a fatboat loaded with
live stock and household goods
made the trip over this route.
from Simsport. on the Atcha-
falaya river, to Abbeville. where
the voyager pitched his tent and
located. The plan of Mr.. Guey-
ldan was fully indorsed by the
Ileague and the secretary was in
fstructed to advise the business
leagues of Lafayette and ST.
Martinville of this action, and in
vite them to a conference with a
view of taking joint action for a
preliminary survey and estimates
in order to present the matter in
attractive and proper shape to
the government engineers.

AS TO THE TOWN STREETS,

Among other things upon
which the present Council prideS
itself and for which they ask
another term in Office, is the fine
condition of the streets Of the
town. It is quite true that
to-day one may drive in any part
of town and ind the streets dry,
but then there has not been any
rain to speak of in months. An
observer can tell also that Il road
grader has been used even to
the suburbs. but that does MOI
signify that the drainage has
been greatly improved. AS a
matter of tact. during the two
years incumbency of the present
administration there has not
been even one prOtracted spell OF
bad rainy weather and of course.
there has really not been a test as
to whether the money spent on
drainage has been spent effective
ly or not.
However, it is certain that
they spent S6,294.O1 on the
streets, the first year of their
term and set aside $4,000 in their
budget for the second year.
With a fund Of $4,000 (no other
Council ever had any such
amount for the purpose) it most
assuredly ought to have been
possible to put the streets in
fine condition.
But as to any claim as to econ
.omy or good management in the
matter Of the streets. we scarcely
think the general public will be
disposed to grant it when they
compare the amount spent and
the results shown.

LAFAYETTE SHOULD HAVE
THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL.

lisA:Nk i<ONNA61 oStIOOHs
1t is generally recognized that
another Normal School has be-
come a necessity and the next
Legislature. it is believed, will
provide for one. Opelousas, as
the following special to the Plea
yune shows, is already preparing
to make a strong fight for it:
That the progressive citizens
of Opelousas are taking time by
the forelock in starting a move
ment looking to the establish
ment of a State Normal school
for southwestern Louisiana is
evidenced by the fact that a plot
of ground in greater Opelousas.
known as the Colorado Southern
Addition, has been set aside for
the proposed institute. Opelous-
as proposes to give the site.
seven and one half acres. and
a bonus of $125, 900 to build and
maintain such an institute, and
it is the intention of the citizens
to have a committee go to the
next Legislature. asking that a
bill be introduced for a special q
mill tax.
It is the belief of the citizens of
Opelousas that Louisiana is badly
in need of another State Normal,
similar to the one in Natchitoch-
es. because of the present great
demand for teachers. tits their
further belief that they have the
town and the proper surround
ings for Just such an institute.
The Colorado Southern Addition
site for thelproposed institute is
a beautifufetract of land, which
has recently been laid off and
paved. The locality is the high
est point near the town. and is
conveniently near the business
section, the distance being only
about one mile from the Court
house.
Lafayette should by all means
get the new Normal School. 1t
can be established here at a
minimum expense to the State,
as we already have the Indus
trial Institute buildings and will
require the addition of only two
or three teachers of pedagogy to
the present faculty. The people
of this city should take up this
matter at once and present the
claims of Lafayette.

THAT REDUCTION IN TAXA
TON.

ent Council places great stress
upon the fact that they have re-
duced the rate of taxation from
ten to eight mills is confirmed by
the following extract from an
editorial in the initial number OF
The Democrat last Saturday:
Probably the most important act OF
the administration is the reduction OF
the rate of taxation in the town from
ten to. eight mills. Many persons
seem D to appreciate what this
means. In plain language 1t means
that without this reduction there would
have been added twenty cents to every
dollar of taxes paid. Still with the
reduction the business of the town has
been placed and maintained on a
strict cash basis.
That the present Council did
actually reduce the rate from
ten mills to eight, no n will
deny. 1t is IL fact. and they
deserve a certain measure OF
credit. which no one is more will
ing to accord them than The Ad-
vertiser, and we should not have
discussed the matter at all were
it not that the statement in their
platform and now in The Demo
Gratis editorial, shows that it is
their purpose to claim that they
haze reduced taautiOn lChHe IN Of
fce." T. such was not their pur-
pose, they should either have left
the statement out of their plat
form or qualified it by saying:
During our term of Office we
raised the rate from seven and a
half mills to ten, but finding that
because of the greatly increased
assessment. eight NILS would
yield a revenue largely in excess
of what any previous Council
ever received and in our judg-
ment ample to maintain the
town on a cash basis with a
reasonably efficient administra-
ton of affairs, and also in view of
the great dissatisfaction express
ed generally over the increased
assessment. we reduced the rate
from ten to eight mills"
Such a qualification would have
frankly stated the history of
probably the mostimportant act
of the administration" and
everybody could have given them
every ounce of credit due them
for not adding" the unnecessary
twenty cents to every dollar of
taxes paid" which they could
have done under the law.
But any claim of the present
administration that they have
reduced taxes while in Office is
disproved by the fact that when
they assumed Office the rate of
taxation was seven and q half
mills. that they raised the rate
to ten, and then later reduced to
eight, leaving it one half mill
higher than when they took
charge of affairs. This alone
shows that they increased taxa
ton. AS to how much, the fol-
lowing figures will show:
The assessment in 1904, under
the old Council. was 81, $40;
at seven and a half mills it yield
ed $10.662.07. During the FIRST
year of the present Council, they
collected regular tax $15.6OO.78,
according to their published
statement in The Gazette July Z,
1906. The assessment for 1905
was 81 1892 1888, and at eight mills
they should collect. the second
year of their term. $15,143,06
Which absolutely disproyes their
claim to have reduced taxes and
shows that, on the contrary, they

MISS BUTTONS SUCCESSOR
CALLED FROM CHICAGO.

Miss Mabel Easton, of the Chicago
Training School for Y. w. c. A, Sec
retaries, and former president of the
Young Women's Christian Association
at Mt. Holyoke, has been called to act
as religious and extension secretary
of the local Y. w. C. A, to take the
place of Miss Helen Button, who has
resigned, and who will leave for her
home in Germantown, Pa, the last of
the month. 1t is hoped that Miss Eas-
ton will reach this city by the first of
January. She will enter upon her
active duties at once.
Miss Button has accomplished much
by going among the large factories of
the city, and organizing branches of
the association, conducting MONDAY
meetings and promoting social as well
religious activity. Miss Easton will
continue to work along the same lines.
She highly recommended.
1t was stated this morning that the
receipts of the Thanksgiving ros day,
when rose pins were sold at a nominal
price, were between $400 and $500. This
will be added to the building fund.

WOMEN'S CLUB
getty IMPROVEMENT" DIS
GUESSED BY A.. R. DENMAN.
Tells How Clubs Can Cooperate with Of
Acials to Secure Municipal Art Com
mission, and to Abate Nuisances.

Arthur r. Denman, president of the
Board Of Works, talked on "City I'M
~provement' before the members of the
Sesame Club at their regular meet
ing, held at the residence of Mrs.
Henry A. Haussling. 661 High street,
yesterday afternoon. He compared
present-day conditions with the archi-
tectural beauty of Babylon, Jerusalem,
Rome and Athens, and talked in a
general way of the ways in which
Newark has improved during the last
century, speaking of pavements, water
supplies and lighting.
Mr.. Denman declared that Newark's
progress along industrial lines of
growth had been very rapid, and thai
what the city needed o was a mu-
nicipal art commission, to consider the
need of pictures in the public buildings
and fine statuary in the parks. Mr..
Denman added that 1t was time hat
Newark began to develop along
the lines of the beautiful. He
spoke of the bill posters on fences
and the huge s~ignboards on top of
buildings, in the centre of the city,
saying that they were anything but
attractive, and hat an Objectionable
poster, placed in an empty lot or on a
fence across the street from a private
residence, was as much of a public
nuisance and as bad as something that
smelled extensively.
Mrs. Henry H. Dawson, president
Of the New Jersey State Federation
of Women's Clubs and a member of
Sesame, told Mr.. Denman of the work
of the art committees of the General
Federation and of the State Fedora
ton, saying that the club women were
particularly interested IN the work of
the municipal art commissions all over
the country. She asked how the clubs
could best cooperate with the city in
procuring such a commission for New
ark.
Mr.. Denman replied that this could
best be done by cooperating with the
Board of Trade; that such a commits
sion would have to be appointed by
the State, in order to have the proper
authority to act. Mrs. Dawson said
hat the federation has we ideas for
artistic improvement-the grouping of
public buildings together and the
supervision of the placing of
public ornaments and statuary in the
parks.
Mr.. Denman then went on to say
that the club women could do much by
helping and cooperating with the city
and State authorities, not only in the
of establishing a municipal art
commission, but in the abating of the
smoke nuisance, the establishment of
public comfort stations, and the rails
ing of meadow lands in order to get
rid of the mosquitoes. Mr.. Denman
said that the mosquito must be killed
or driven from the State. because it
did much to spread the germs of

Three girls were chattering in one of
the rest rooms of a Broad street depart
ment store yesterday, and as I sat quite
near I could not help but hear snatches
Of their conversation, for they were
making no effort to talk low.
II do not intend to give Amanda a
present" announced one, ito pay up
for that fright of a pincushion that she
gave me last year. I did not get it
until late Christmas night. and l just
know she received 1t from some one
during the day. Besides. I don't be-
lieve she intends to give me anything,
and it is all I a do to AXE up money
enough to give things to those whom
[ know ave something for me-"
II know just how it is" agreed a
girl in blue; its perfectly awful to
receive presents from people when
you haven't given them a thing. Last
Christmas May mortified me nearly to
death by giving me the cutest little
hairpin receiver, and 1 hadn't even
remembered to send her a souvenir
post card"
Yes, she sent me a hairpin receiver,
too" chimed in the third girl; 'she
made about a dozen of them. They
didn't cost much, being homemade, but
they were just dear. She gave one to
each girl in the class, and I do not be-
iieve she received more than two gifts
in return"
we'll" remarked the girl in blue,
refectively, May is different from us.
I honestly believe she gave us those
things because she wanted to, and Tn
sure she expected nothing from us.
Why should she. when she hardly knew
is at the time?
T%hereupon they all agreed that May
was a dear girl" and told each other
how much they liked her, for school
girls are almost "geeselike'' in their
fondness for following a leader. If
the girl in blue had started to KNOCK
as they term 1t, the other two would
followed suit, and dear May
would have been sadly hammered by
the time they were through.
As they gathered up their bundles to
depart I could not help but look at
them and think that their spirit was
very representative of the present day
Idea of Christmas.
With all too many people 'sgive only
to those who give to you," is the cor
rect motto to follow.

MODES.

An odd evening cloak of pale green
oroadcloth had huge full sleeves of a
deep green velvet that hung almost to
the knees, but had the fnllness gathered
into a narrow cuff at the wrist. Outlin-
Ing the armholes and falling almost to
the bottom of the skirt in the back was
a tasseled trimming in silk and chenille.
An exceedingly Frenchy walking suit
of b~roadcloth in brown and beige stripes
had h coat made up on the perpen-
dicular and the skirt stripes bias, meet
ing in a seam down the middle of the
front. The skirt fell over a ffve-inch
band of plain brown velvet the color of
the stripe, and the coat, which was
single-breasted and reaching just below
the hips, was given an odd touch by
being cut out for three or four inches
around the armhole to look as if it were
worn over a plain brown velvet coat
with a tight coat sleeve.

A PRACTICAL IDEA.

The hanging of small articles on a line
to dry is a tiresome process. The worst
part Of the work can be done indoors.
Take a strip of muslin about eight inches
wide. At intervals of about six inches
along one side of the strip stick large
safety pins through the muslin, SO b a
half of each pin will extend below the
strip. When ready to hang out, attach
each article to 0 of the pins. Collars
and-euffs may be hung by passing the pin
through the buttonholes. Pin the strip to
the clothesIlne with clothesplns. It Will
not slip or blow Oft and the clothes are
easily removed when dry.

AGAIN WE SEE
THE ROSE ROSETTE.

There is a return to the rose rosette for
hat and dress trimming, and these are not
nearly so difficult to manufacture MS are
the genuine rosettes. The material is cut
on the bias. then folded around and around,
beginning In the middle, until one reaches
the desired size. Silk. satin. gauze. and
chiffon. are appropriate materials, and, in
addition to being used as hat trimming,
evening frocks are most successfully
decorated with them. They catch waist
drapery. mold lace founces and sometimes
finish the ends of ribbon strands.
