The Easier Outing Vas So Successful that Al
ufhsF Excursion WITH be Gigaa 20 r. o.

On account of the numbers Of pa
irons who were unable to secure
tickets for the Easter excursion to
New Orleans, given by the Southern
Pacific lines last Sunday, it has been
determined to duplicate the excursion
at some date in the near future.
Complete returns from the ticket
sales have not jet reached the audi
tors Office, but everything points to
a record-breaking sale for the Easter
trains on the main and branch lines
Of the company.
About 2750 tickets were sold, ac-
cording to present returns, and the
trains were operated without an ae-
eident. In almost all Of the towns
the applications for tickets were
greater than could be accommodated.
On this account the company plans to
give another excursion from Morgan
City, New Iberia and Washington to
New Orleans within a short time.
