OUR OPPORTUNITY.

The citizens NEE ting at the court
house Tuesday night, appointed a
committee to circulate a petition
calling take the sense
of the voters upon the proposition
to vote a three mile tax in aid Of
the Eunice, Lafayette and Able
vile Railroad. This committee
will pass around among the citi-
zens for signatures, and cOnsid-
ering the immense Importance
of the building of this road to
Lafayette, they should have no
difficulty in securing more than
the requisite number of names.
The opportunity to secure a
competing road and also a d.
rect northern connection is now
Ours,and if we are wise and
awake to our own interest we
will most certainly take prompt
advantage of it.
The completion of the Panama
Canal will make New Orleans
the port of all the Mississippi
Valley and it is bound to become
the objective points of the vari-
Gus systems in the valley. That
means railroads through this
section, and it is certain that if
in building into New Orleans.
Lafayette is left to one side, it
will injure this city greatly. pos,
sibly beyond recovery.
It's the part Of wisdom to get
in on the ground ioor,as it were,
and the building of this Eunice
to Abbeville road. while large
with immediate possibilities, is
a move that will grow in inpor
lance as railroad developement
in Southwestern Louisiana pro-
crosses.
Our opportunity is NOW. and
unless we make use of it, we will
have plenty of leisure to regret
it in the future.

CLASS OF 100
IS NOW ASSURED
Hammond Shriners Elated
Over acg hey Have
Beaten All Records.
FEEDING VISITORS A PROBLEM
Conclave Here on June 9th Attracts
Masons From All Parts of
the Country.
FEEDING VISITORS A PROBLEM

The local Masons, who have been
working ceaselessly for ,the success of
their enterprise when on the 27th of
this month the Mystic Shrine will be
conferred on a class in this CITY are
elated over the fact that 150 candi-
dates will assuredly take this famous
degree.
When the Murat temple at Indian
apolis agreed to confer the shrine and
the local Masons promised that they
would have class of at least so, tre
officers of the Indianapolis lodge were
rather skeptical
Now, that the number of $50 has
actually been reached it is the wonder
of shriners all over the country. 1t
lis remarkable too that the project has
been so successful in view of the fact
that the times have been so hard.
Feeding Visitors Problem.
At a recent meeting of the local
members of the Shrine the matter of
feeding the large number of people who
will be in the city on the 27th was
taken up.
OF course, everybody wants to see the
local restauranters make money on that
day but 1t is also of vital Importance to
the members of the local lodge and is a
matter of pride on the part of the
people of Hammond genrally to see
that the prices are fair the service
good and the food above reproach.
There has been so much complaint
of the local restaurants that the COM
nittee on arrangements hope to have all
Of that dispelIed by the fine showing
that will be made on the 27th.
VIII Take Them Into Corner.
! All of the restauranters will be taken
off into little corner during the next
few days and the Importance of serving
good meals will be made apparent
/ they will be informed that the COM
mittee is not averse to their making a
good profit on the day of the big
conclaye here but they are anxious that
everybody should go away satisfied
and pleased with what they have been
offered to eat
The other arrangements are gradually
being completed and If the weather is
fine there will be the most wonderful
parade that has ever been seen in this
city or any other city in Indiana with
the exception of Indianapolis
Tt has been learned that among those
from Valparaiso who have decided tc
take the shrine are: President w. H
Brown of Valparaiso university, and
Professor Bogarte, who is at the heac
of the department of mathematics.
