News from the Log Camp.

Stewards Camp, Aug. 81, 'O8.
Editor Colfax Chronicle:
1t has been some time since /
wrote you few items from this
camp, and now with your permits
sion l will come again.
There have been some impor-
tant changes in our camp since
that writing which l note. Our
esteemed hotel manager, Mrs. c.
ID. Kemp, has resigned her po-
sition here and has purchased a
hotel in the thriving little town
of Winfield. The public can now
be made comfortable and happy
by putting up at the "Norrid
House" And, Mr.. Public, If you
doubt this, my advice is, try it
We were sorry to part with her,
but our sorrow was of short dura-
ton, for we soon learned that she
is situated where she can be of
greater usefulness in her church
and among her friends in social
circles; and Providence had in re-
serve for us another noble chris
tian lady to take charge of this es-
adjustment. Mrs. Ida Gentry is
now the head of our house. and is
another witness demonstrating the
fact that lady can run boarding
house and live a christian.
Our chief man, Mr.. A. w. Stew
art, with Mr.. Harry Byrd as part
uer, has contracted to log two mills
near Picayune, Miss, and is now
off for two or three weeks getting
matters in running order over
there. We look for him home
aoon after the first of September.
Meanwhile the business of the
camp, under the management of
Mr.. G. w. Blackburn, is going
ahead as usual, and the Iatt mill,
so far as we know, is, doing good
work.
We have nice shower of liter
ature from the candidates now, but
/ don't think it is having any effect
Oh these people.
Wishing the Chronicle success,
l rem ain, Your friend,
q. w. CHRISTIAN.

Colfax, La, Aug. 81, 1908.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
l learn that somebody has been
to Rapides parish from near the
middle of this parish to learn some-
thing of the methods of working
the public roads. They didn't say
whether the committee of investi-
cation went on slide or in boat,
or how: but we doubt if they could
go in a wheeled vehicle. l have
been travelling some in Grant par
ish lately myself, and let me say
right here it takes a great deal of
travel, aud also travail" to go a
short distance. We travelled in a
vehicle with four wheels, but oc-
casionaily two of them were down
in mud hole and the other two in
the air. Sometimes our faithful
little bronchos would stall, but we
would get out, aud the little fellows
never failed to try again when call
ed on. l inquired as to whose
business it was to keep up that
road and was informed it was the
the duty of the public, and that
the owner of these very ponies was
the present syndic of this road.
Now, it is plain to me that we need
two laws amended, or if they don't
need amendment they need execu-
ton. That, is to improve the pub
lie roads, and to prevent cruelty TO
animals. Our conductor only
charged us about or s cents mile.
Perhaps that was because we walk
ed part of the way. Now the
ponies earned what they got out of
the trip, but / couldn't see how
their master earned what he got
out of it. Since then / had few
words (no row or ugly words) with
an old citizen, and he told me that
about two years ago a man was
syndic and called out the hands
and was working the road, when
the sheriff arrested and took him
to Jail. The hands all escaped, l
think, and later 1t was learned that
it was not for working the roads
that the syndic was jailed, but for
running blind tiger, but you can't
get those folks to believe it, at any
rate they have never ventured to
work the road from that day to
this. These facts may touch some
of our road supervisors or parish
Legislators, but they are facts, and
can be proven by some of the best
citizens of Grant parish.
I hope that committee will do
something for the roads in the hill
wards as we'll as in the low lands
aud in town. The reader will re-
member the experiment tried some
years ago Of building sample of
good road. They went to the city
of New Orleans and built their
piece of road, instead of going to
the hill country where road would
be hard to make stand. / don't
know how their road has stood, but
/ see nothing to prevent its stand
ing on that nice level ground.
Hoping our road investigating
committee will soon begin to show
us good results of their investiga-
tions, / remain,
Yours truly,

Congress, our first aim should be to
