coined heartily by their many friends.

not only pleasure and information valu-

preciates very highly. Mr.. Loeb is one
of the most enterprising citizens OF
Shreveport and the success he has at

LOUISIANA DAY AT THE JAMES

The Monroe Star says: 1t is very like
ly that on account of the death of Mrs.
N c. Blanchard, wife of Governor Blan
chard, Louisiana Day at the Jamestown
Exposition will not be held Some plans
had been made for the holding of this
day, in which many from this State were
to participate. 1t was expected to make
the day one that would attract the visit
ors from Louisiana There was some
hope of having President Roosevelt
there to deliver an address, and the
Governor was to have been there with
his military staff. The sudden and sad
death of Mrs. Blanchard who always
helped to make such occasions sue
cess, has been of such universal sorrow
to all of the officials that it is very likely
that Louisiana Day at the Exposition
will not be celebrated

the imperative duty of the representa-
tives of the people in the Council to con-
cede no right, concession Or privilege to
the Traction Company until it shall give
to the people what is demanded fairly
and to which they are entitled by virtue
Of the concessions they hold and which
are valued at nearly million dollars
WHAT THE TRACTION COMPANY
MAY PROPOSE.
The Traction Company is monopoly.
1t has secured the right of way through
the most important thoroughfares in this
city and is in position to block any
Opposition line or company which would
venture operation in this city 1t is all
powerful. However, it may be stated
| that the company intends or proposes to
their franchise grants. To make it
plain it is proposed that all their fran
chises shall be equalized to the limit of
forty-seven years. The charter of the
Union Depot line and the Parkview line
will expire in "a years; Highland Park
line in 46 years and West End line in AZ
years Through this proposition the
charters of the two companies, operating
on the main lines, would have to be ex-
tended 10 years from the year Io4I, and,
if granted, this would give the Traction
Company monopoly whose valuation
may be reckoned into millions of dol
lars.
And what is it the city is to receive
in consideration of the valuable fran
cfise?
A midnight car.
Increased number of cars, which must
naturally be operated if the company has
an eye to business, and
Transfer privileges.
Now, what the people must do is not
to go into some hysteria of joyfulness
over the promised voluntary concession,
but as intelligent beings to inquire into
the actual practical value of these trans
fer privileges and then contrast this vol
unfairly given privilege with the valua
tion of these franchises, which will run
into the millions.
Are the people ready and willing to
surrender franchise privileges valued at
millions of dollars for the transfer privi-
leges, which they will acquire in time
without sacrifice if they be patient and
insist on having square deal.
RULE NISI-TO SHOW CAUSE.
The rule nis, or, in plain United
States, the rule to show cause why an
injunction restraining the city from ell
forcing the ordinance requiring the
Traction Company to furnish transfers
should not issue, was considered this
morning by Judge Bell of the District
Court. There was no opposition by the
city to the judges decree, which sustains
the injunction until the case is tried on
its merits The Traction Company gave
bond for $4,000.
The case will be tried on its merits
some time during the next term of the
District Court.

According to Mr.. Hill, on present

1T WOULD TAKE THEM HURRY

The Wisconsin railroad commission,
following the example of the Mon
tana Legislature, has ordered the
railroads to report failures to observe
time tables in the passenger service.
But 1t is stated that the Wisconsin
people will 90 further and compel
the roads to run trains on time How
they are going to 10 this does not ap-
pear. The commission has no power
to fine a road every time a train is
late.
If, however, the situation in that
state is bad as it is along the lines
which cross Montana, there would
arise a well-nigh irresistible demand
for Legislation subjecting railroads to
fines for failures to observe time
schedules.
And such remedy IS suggested
by the railroads themselves, as in the
case of the Pennsylvania eighteen
hour train from New York to Chicago,
where the road refunds certain pro-
portion of the fare faid for every hour
of delay in keeping the schedule.
Late trains would pretty quickly
become thing of the past, save only
in rare cases, were the roads COM
PEELED to apply this principle through
out their passenger service.-Butte
