THROUGH MAIL SERVICE
FROM MELVILLE To
CROWLEY.

Beginning Friday last, the 18th.
the 0pelousas, Gulf & Northeastern
Railroad inaugurated through mail
service from Melville to Crowley. and
placed a mail clerk on the train Us
that letters can be mailed on The
train and distributed along the route.
Heretofore the mail service only
extended from Melville to Rayne. and
the baggagemaster acted as mail
clerk, d system Of through pouches
only being iii vogue. Under Gle old
system a letter, for instance, mailed
at Branch for Church Point would
pass It's destination and only return
that evening, having been assorted
and placed in the Branch pouch 1T
the other end Of the line-MelYille.
Now The letters will Be distributed il
transit, and d rapid and thorough
mail service will Be thereby afforded.
II is probable that mail from Eu-
nice to Opelousas on The Colorado
Southern will be inaugurated ii q
short while. a numerouslY signed
petition from Eunice was recently
sent To The p~ostofice department, and
the only thing that may prevent Tie
granting of the service is the hope
of the Colorado Southern that its dis
pute for through traffic to New Or
leans will be settledin the near future.

this week, on his way to his Indiana

As stated last week, the Yerteran
railroad builder was in this State for
the purpose at looking into a project
TO extend the line of the @. Gee from
Crowley to Lake Arthur, where it
will interest the Intereoastal Canal.
He spent several days in the Crowley
and Lake Arthur sections, and Is now
prepared to make a report to the
people in whose interests he was here,
including the cost Of the road, and
We learn the report viii ho favorable
on it's feasibility.
The distance from Crowley to
Lake Arthur IS twenty miles, and the
extension will give the O. Gee d
through line from Melville to deep
water.
An interesting statements Ia con-
nection with the extension is that the
Texas q Pacific is back Of the move.
The report is doubtless well founded,
as the @. Gee belongs 30 the Texas
e. Pacific.
But whether or not the T. q P. IS
backing the move, it is certain that

The project, and as the old gentle
mar is not an air-eastle builder, it is
