Mr.. Johnson also stated that he intend

CENTRALS DEFEAT
SOUTHEAST Y. N. c. A.
Basket Ball Struggle a Warm
One and Crowded With
Excitement.

Excellent team work and the advantage
of the home court was too much for the
Southeast Branch Y. NJ. c. A. basket ball
team last night. when the Central Y. NJ.
c. A. team took the contest by a score
Of 80 to aS.
Owing to the fine playing of the south
east team in the last few games in the
Capital City Basket Ball League a large
crowd of spectators was assembled in
the gallery at the Central Branch to wit
ness the contest, as it was expected that
a hard-fought game would result. Al
though the southeast boys were defeated.
they played good game, but as stated
the team work and advantage of playing
on a familiar court was too much of a
handicap.
Can't Allen of the Central team was
the star of the game. He threw seven
field goals and three free losses for his
team. Several of his goals were made
from difficult angles and one Was made
on a throw over his head from the side
of the court which brought forth
rousing applause from not only the fol-
lowers of the Central team, but by those
from Southeast Washington. Miller was
a close second in sharing the honors for
the winning team, as he got six goals
from the field. keliher did the best work
for the losers. Although Coleman threw
as many goals as his captain, the former

The formal opening of the new speed
way yesterday afternoon proved to be a
success beyond the widest hopes OF the
men who framed the scheme in point OF
attendance and in point of high-class
horsefiesh and general equipments.

perience in such matters on two CONT

All sections of the city were literally
represented. The West End shook hands

South End. and every end of the city was
glad it was there and dubbed over with
enthusiasm as the events of the day
progressed.
President Taft and the greater part OF
his cabinet were on the grounds in the
course of the afternoon. The President
was enthusiastically received wherever
his car carried him. To Gen. Edwards
he expressed himself as being highly en-
tertained by what he had seen, and also
said that he was gratified at the success

Probably no town in Southwest
Louisiana of its size has given as
much attention to the building OF
good sidewalks as has Welsh. Dur.
ing the past year two miles of cement
walks have been put down, and more
has been contracted for to be finished
within few months.
The progressive spirit is everywhere
manifest to the stranger who drops
off at Welsh, and 1t is all the result
OF the citizens working in harmony
for the best interests of the town at all
times. Other towns in this section of
the State would do we'll to pattern
after this model prairie city.
During the past sixty days one real
estate firm alone sold upwards of six
thousand acres Of raw prairie lands,
which are now being opened up by
building improvements and putting
down deep wells.
All this goes to show that Welsh
will continue to take front rank
among the towns of Southwest Louisi-
ana and that her business interests
will prosper as the country builds up.
The following comprise the lines OF
business represented at present:
One bank, dairy, telephone system,
three hotels, laundry, ice plant, steam
bakery, two feed stores, shoe shop,
newspaper, livery barn, dray line,
wood yard, book store, oil refinery,
three restaurants, two drug stores,

Welsh as Others See Us.

Other towns have made more
noise, but few have made so
substantial a growth as has the
progressive town Of Welsh during the
past ten years. The reason for this
is apparent to the visitor who takes a
drive into the country surrounding.
The rice farms are well improved, and
most OF them are irrigated by deep
wells owned by the farmers who are
tilling the soil. They are thrifty and
well-to.do men, and their excellent
support has done much to build up
the town. They have been among the
first in this section to realize the
value Of drainage and are now agi-
tating the good roads" movement
with every indication of revolutioniz-
ing the methods in vogue at present in
the construction and maintenance OF
public highways. In this matter the
business men and the farmers are
working together. and for one who
knows the energy and push of the
merchants Of the town and country
the results are easily determined.
The Rice Planters Association is Q
recently organized society in Welsh,
and also one of the first organiza-
tions of the kind in the State.
The town itself Is a hustling little
city with a large number of thorough
ly responsible mercantile establish
ments. The financial business of the
community is in the hands of the
First National Bank, one of the most
solid banking institutions in South.
west Louisiana.
The educational feature has not
been overlooked, Welsh having fine
sch DOL building, ample for its needs
and always has nine months Of
school. The churches are we'll repre-
scented, there being six, all with large
memberships.
Among the manufacturing estab-
lishments can be counted two large
rice mills, a syrup mill, two modern
equipped machine shops, an irrigat-
Ing we'll pump factory, Oil refinery
and tin and sheet iron works.
Only two miles away from the town
is the Welsh oil field, which is des-
tined to be one of the best producers
in the State. No CREST amount OF
advertising has been given the field,
and it has never enjoyed boom, but
wells have been bored every week,
and oil is being pumped all the time.
The oil is of an extra fine quality,
and it is the opinion of men we'll
versed in the oil business that the
field has never been given fair test.
In fact, many believe that the oil de-
post is greater than at the Jennings
field, when it is properly gone after.
The oil industry brings great deal
of ready money to Welsh merchants
