himself large and commodious store
and market house Of architectural
design, the latter a structure which
a town many times the size Of Port
Barre would be proud Of. He has
also just completed one Of the hand
Soonest residences in Port Barre.
These are located in the Southern
Pacific subdivision, and the lots were
bought from Dir. Saizan.
Dr.. Saizan has just returned from
trip to Shreveport, La, and Min
eral Wells, Texas. There is moth
ing III these countries to compare
with ours, particularly ia an agrieul-
tural sense. The corn around Port
Barre is as tall as d man, while the
Texas corn is shriveled up and sickly
looking. While the saw mill has no
doubt greatly aided Port Barre, yet
that country. since the advent De the
railroads, could stand on its own bot
tom with its surrounding rich and
productive agricultural lands. There
are none better anywhere.

The hotel was built at q cost of
about $4,000. It was commenced
two years ago, the contract being
awarded to Messrs. Ventre & Pulford,
local contractors. The promoter was
the OpeIousas Development Co, an
organization formed of local capital
for that purpose. It was soon found
that they had overshot the mark, and
financial troubles began, which fol-
lowed the construction throughout,
and greatly retarded its completion.
The financial crisis came ON, and
money was b scarce object. But the
contractors and promoters persevered,
surmounting every new obstacle the
best they could until it is completed
and Opelousas has q first-class hotel.
The hotel contains forty bed rooms,
all provided with the latest sanitary
appliances and conveniences. The
large dining room is a jewel, and the
