The Older Alumni,

The idea has been suggested that
the older alumni, say the members
of the first twenty classes of the Os
kaloosa High school, have a reunion
and banquet during the school exer
cises this spring The alumni as a
whole is too large to retain an organ
lzation, and the newer members would
not be interested in the things OF
moment to the earlier ones. The
first class was graduated about 1870
and the twenty year limit would take
in the classes up to and including the
class of 1890.

Our. Traffic Bridge Threatened.

This mornings Shreveport Times says
that the east end of the Bossier- Shreve-
port bridge at Shreveport is threatened
by caving banks. Cross Bayou is still
very full, several inches higher than the
river, and the caving is due to the strong
current from this stream, which enters
the river just above the bridge. Heroic
efforts are being made to stop the cav
ing, but it has eaten fifty feet into the
bank within the past twenty-four hours
Should the efforts to stop the caying MOI
prove successful, no doubt by tomorrow
all traffic across the bridge will be tenn
porarily suspended.
