PRELIMINARY LINES
FOR CUTOFF
ENGINEERS NOW IN THE FIELD
WILL COMPLETE FIRST WORK
IN ABOUT TEN DAYS ON THE
ELLENSBURG-LIND LINE.

Ellensburg, March 1.-The prelim-
mary lines now being run by three
crews of engineers for the Ellens-
burg Ritzville cutoff will be COM
pleted within the next two weeks,
according to one of the surveying
crew, who returned to the city to-
day. The location Of the new line,
principally office work, is not expect
ed to take more than six weeks and
the road will be ready to build about
May 1.
There are three crews of engf-
neers, or about 100 men. in the field
at this time," said one of the engi-
neers. 1.-THE first crew, in charge Of
Leland Tate, has camp 10 miles
east of the city. A second crew, un-
der e. D. Kinney, is working through
the hills trying the various passes
into the Columbia river valley and
third crew, in charge of William
Myer, is at work along the river.
"At this time there are no orders
to build the road. The railroad,
however, is losing money every day
in running trains via Pasco and
North Yakima. Men on the work be-
lieve that construction will be start
ed next summer, or as soon as the
located line can be approved.
Personally, do not believe there
is the slightest doubt but that the
cutoff will tie into the main line at
Ellensburg. Any change from this
plan would mean the establishing of
division point at another station
along the road and that is hardly
possible. What trains will run over
the new line is a matter in the hands
Of the operating department, but I
believe that the road will use the
system in vogue in Montana. Some
of the trains run over the main line
via Butte and others via Helena. 1t
is reasonable to believe therefor that
all trains will stop at Ellensburg
and half of them run via North Yak
ina and Pasco and the others over
the cutoff

The CUMBERLAND
TELEPHONE COMPANY
IMPROVING SERVICE
New Wires Being Put in to Man
deville and Folsom and Two
Copper Wires to New Orleans.

Line men have been busy with
the work of the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company this week. A new
line is being run to Vaudeville, and
also a line to Folsom, at which place
toll station will be established at
the store of Mr.. ]. D. McLain. But
the most important improvement is
being made in extending two copper
wires froim Covington to New Or
leans. This will make conversation
between these two points pleasant
and easy, reproducing sounds even
more disticntly than on our local
service.
Mr.. Baird, who is manager of the
Cumberland Telephone Company
here, is delighted over the prospects
of this new service. Mr.. Baird has
made himself quite popular here by
his endeavors to please his patrons
and by his courteous treatment to
them.

The benefits to be derived are un-
questionable. 1t has been estimated
upon the basis of six months ex-
position, that no less than ten mil
lion visitors will be attracted to the
state by the big fair? We lack the
capital to develop our abundant re-
sources, to enable us to convert our
raw materials into finished products
and to put our State in the van of
progress. Capital in this country and
Europe is looking for just such op-
portunities to invest as our resources
offer to them, and the exposition
will bring investor and opportunity
face to face.
Not one per cent of the epole of
Louisiana could hope to visit an ex-
position held on the Pacific coast.
The cost in both money and time
would be prohibitive. Hundreds of
thousans of them could visit in New
Orleans, and pay the expenses of
their visit out of the increased profits
which the exposition would give
them on the sale of their country
products; for it must be remem bered
that the ten million visitors must

of the farmer to feed mankind.
And finally, a proper State pride
forbids that we should reject this
opportunity to put our State for
ward in this most momentous un-
dertaking. Louisianians have never
yet failed to measure UP the stand
ards of duty required Of real men
and it is impossible that they should
begin to fail now The rema ming
States of the South, of the Missis-
sippi Valley, of the West. of the
North and East-all are looking to
Louisiana to make good in the
crisis, for our success means i'm
neasurably more than can be told, to
us, to them, and to the entire ma
ton.
Posterity would be ashamed of US,
and rightly SO, should we reject this
most rare opportunity to achieve
great results in a great way.
Those who do not want the exposi-
tion to go to San Francisco, will vote
for Amendments One and Two on
the official ballot.

were violating the law were the po-
licemen, who treated us roughly and
hurt dreadfully with their clubs
some of the poor boys we were lead
ing peacefully past the shops. II
there had been real riot this morn
ing, and it would not have taken
much to have made one, it would
have been melted altogether by the
police" u
Miss S. M. Franklin, another of
the volunteer pickets, was indignant
because of the manner in which she
had been treated by the police.
II know they would not have let
me go if I had not presented my
card" said She "They seemed to
gerous character. Perhaps it would
have been good plan to let them
have taken me to jail and just prove
to them how little legal foundation
they have to stand on"
Promises from well-to-do women
striking girls, voluteers for picket
service from among women we'll
known as social and club leaders,
and pledges of any assistance within
their power from many other women
were received by Mrs. Raymond Rob-
ms, president of the Woman's Trade
Union League, to-day.
Among those to volunteer were
Mrs. D. E. Hopkins and Mrs. General
Simpson.
ARoUsING THE PUBLIC.
Deputy Factory Inspector Helen
M. Todd, who addressed the morn
ing's meeting Of strikers, volunteer
ed to address a meeting of Univer-
sity cf Chicago girl students in the
South Side tomorrow night. Mrs.
Robins will speak on the subject of
the strike to the members of the
Chicago kindergarten Institute. In
this manner it is expected to carry
the fight of the striking garment
workers into every quarter of the
city and arouse interest and secure
valuable aid for the cause. Mrs.
Robins said there will be at least
fifty volunteer pickets from women's
clubs and other sources outside of
the working girls tomorrow when
further demonstrations are expected.
1--WE cannot give their names at
this time" Mrs. Robins said. I'VE
| found it advisable in New York, and
l am sure we will here, to keep the
! police guessing as to who our pickets
are"
Striking girls, club women and
leaders in the Women's Trade Union
League will meet at breakfast at
Kings Restaurant tomorrow to dis
cuss the strike.
Among those who will be special
| guests will be Miss Katherine Conan,
nf hictn
at Wellesley College; Mrs. Samuel
Dorschy, Mrs. Anna Wilmarth
Thompson, Miss Carolyn Hunt and
Miss Mary Peck.
Although several tailoring estab-
lishments where strike-breakers are
being employed were stoned to-day,
| only few persons were injured and
there were no fatalities.

Before another issue of the week
ly newspapers shall go to press the
people of louisiana will have decid-
ed at the polls whether they desire
that Congress shall locate the pro-
posed exposition at New Orleans or
at San Francisco. 1t it not probable
that single right-minded person in
the State would wish to see the
choice go to San Francisco, though
not all may understand that the de-
feat of the two amendments relating
to the exposition is equivalent to in
structing Congress that Louisiana
does not want the exposition.
San Francisco, being the only other
contestant for hte honor, will get the
prize by default and that city will
reap the vast benefit that under a
broader and wiser policy would come
to us. As this is the last word, it
is permissible perhaps to epitomize
in desultory way some of the sug-
gestions advanced from time to time
to show that not single vote in
Louisiana should be cast in opposi-

CHICAGO STRIKE
Of GIRL WORKERS
Police Have a Hard Time in
Gaining Control and Use
Their Clubs. Sympathy is
With the Strikers.

Chicago, Nov. Mounted police
charged threatening mobs. of striking
garment workers and made numer-
GUS arrests in three sections of Chi
cago to-day only to be dumfounded
when met by obdurate groups of
well-known club women and society
women, who produced engraved call
ing cards at police stations in lieu
of bail bonds. 1t was a new ex-
perience for the police and plainly
confused them.
A score of these women champ
ions of the garment workers who en-
gagged in todoy's rioting were taken
into custody. They were Immediately
released, howevery, when their iden-
titles became known to the police.
One of them was injured when struck
by policeman's club, but her name
did not become known, as she was
hurriedly placed in an automobile
and taken to her home.
Most of the women of prominence
involved in to-day's demonstrations
were garbed as working girls, and
for this reason the police could not
distinguish them from strikers until
after arrests had been made.
Riotus and spectacular scenes de-
veloped in the downtown district, on
the North Side and on the West Side.
More than 500 men and women en-
gagged in the downtown demonstra-
tion, which was broken up by police
after considerable trouble. AS they
left their headquarters in La Sale
Street the strikers and their sympa-
thizers changed bells, blowed whistles
and footed horns. The line of march
proceeded into the wholesale district
near the river, passing various large
tailoring establishments, where en-
ployees were beckoned to join the
strikers. More than 1000 took part
in one of the incipent riots in the
West Side. In each instance women
headed the crowd of strikers and
their friends.
TREATED ROUGHLY.

doing absolutely nothing beyond the
law" said Miss Ellen Starr, one OF

ering of people to see the exhibits,
and to celebrate the open canal The
center of population on the new cen
sus map will be in southwest Indiana
near the Ohio River, almost due
north, and about 500 miles from
New Orleans. The Ohio River flows
within few miles of that point, and
by gravitation flows gently down to
New Orleans; so will the people
gravitate naturally to the logical
Panama celebration point at the
mouth OF the -Mississp ppi, only four
and one-half days from the Canal.
Should the tedious journeys up and
over the Rockies 2,500 miles away
from the center Of population be re-
quisite for the celebration, only the
idle rich could participate and they
would then be 1900 miles farther
from Panama than when they start
ed.
Should he want to see San Fran
cisco "rehabilitated," the man east
of the Mississippi, who has money
and time, can come to New Orleans,
see the exposition and go on to the
Pacific either by the Canal or over
land, and at no great inconvenience.
Ninety per cent of the people the
larger body, who cannot afford the
long journey, may come as far as the
Logical Point anyway. We are en-
route.
Whose convenience should be serv-
ed in this great Nation Celebration
the Peoples or the Idle Rich?
Sixty-fve millions of people live
within 600 miles of New Orleans,
100000 people live within 1000
miles of Frisco.
Which is logically right for the
people?
Panama is 1880 miles from New
Orleans-a little more than four
days.
Panama is 400 miles from San
Francisco and boat requires three
weeks for the passage.
! Should We deprive the man of
moderate income of the great educa-
tional advantages to his children,
when the rich can gather here as
we'll as the common people" The
capitalist will be on his way if he
desires to see the Phoenix City and
its rehabilitation"
At the Metropolitan seaport can
this great World gathering take
place, and where can the World s
goods be best assembled?

TRUCKERS MEET
The st. Tammany Parish
Truck Growers AssOcia-
Held a Meeting at Which
Acreage is Pledged for
Next Season. New Mem
ber Of Board Appointed.

Abita Springs, Oct. 29.-The first
quarterly meeting Of the st. Tam
many Truck Growers Association
was held at the Town Hall at $3.50
D. m. The meeting was called to
order by President G. e. Millar and
there was very large attendance,
Several fresh members presented
themselves for enrolment, making a
total Of over sixty to date.
Mr.. Jos. Schneider having resign
ed as director Mr.. Jos. Dirmann
was elected in his place. Mr.. Dir
mann has been connected with the
New Orleans Vegetable Growers and
Shippers Association of New Orleans
for some years and comes from a
family of truckers and shippers.
The meeting was interesting and
matters discussed proved the need
of practical men getting together to
exchange ideas.
Mr.. J.. Lavelle, of Vaudeville, was
introduced to the members and spoke
of his dairy proposition. He gave
some valuable information and ask
ed the cooperation of the members.
From the opinions expressed after
from those living near enough to
ship. -
The total acreage pledged to date
is as follows:
Potatoes, "a acres; beans, IL
acres; early corn, 8 acres.
There are several members who
have to be heard from, that will
bring the total to over so acres.
There will be other crops planted
among them, early cucumbers and
sociation had better climb on the
band wagon.
Those members who were unable
to be present We're requested to send
in the amount of land they intend
to devote to truck to the manager.
Those who intend to join the as
sociation had better join on the band

LOGICAL POINT FOR THE EXPOSITION
Some Good Reasons Why New Orleans
Should Have It, and Why San
Francisco Should Not.

AS the exposition is to celebrate
the opening of the Panama Canal,
that passage will not be available for
ships until the gates of the great fair
are opened.
San Francisco is from 14,60O to
500 miles from the European cen
ters of manufacture via Cape Horn,
and will be until the date of the
exposition
New Orleans is ten thosand miles
nearer Europe than is San Francisco.
England, France and Spain are al
ready habited to the trade of New
Orleans. Last year $469, 100000 of
business was done with the Gulf
Coast by foreign countries-only
$155, 100000 was transacted by the
Pacific slope with foreigners, most
of whom were Asiatics.
How can San Francisco have a
great Worlds Fair without Europ-
can and South American exhibits?
Ten thousand miles away is not
the full story: Manufactures of Man.

would have to charter a ship. There

from Europe. The vessel would have
to gather it's CARGO from various
ports, and would then start on it's
long two or three months sail, and
when through delivery would either
return in ballast, making the cost
double or continue to China or Japan
for return cargo, thence through
the SueZ on it's way back to England,
$1,000 miles farther! More than
10000 miles and the best part of
the year in time-circumna eating
the globe.
1t is probable with such obstacles
of time and cost that the distant
Pacific candidate can assemble exhi-
bits from points that supply these
things?
The Atlantic coast exhibitors in a
slightly modified degree will have
the same difficulties and liberal guam
titles of exhibits must be sent by sea
the freight cost is prohibitive by rail
| road. There are or.y four railroads
that go across the continent, and
traffic is already congested because
of the slowness of transcontinental

| as well as the California people.
The same difficulties regarding the
assembling of exhibits are more ac
centuated when we come to the gath

More and more interest is develop
ing daily in the pet animal and stock
exhibition to be neld at Bogue Falaya
Park November II and 12. This is
the first opportunity of the kind that
has been offered in many years to give
the people chance to see what is
doing in the parish in the way OF
fine stock and domestic pets, as well
as to exhibit any products of special
merit. There are some fine oranges
being raised here and also some
lemon trees that have produced well.
Those who have them should place
them on exhibition. While it will
not be possible to build sheds for
stock, arrangements have been made
for the housing of all animals at
night SO that they may receive the
best Of care, one of the largest stables
in town having given room for this
purpose, and arrangements will be
made with other stables if more room
is wanted.
Refreshment booths will be in
charge of the ladies of the Progress

needs of the people in this line are
attended to. Eeverything will be
done to make the occasion a pleasant
one.
Work is now in progress for max
ing a small circular track for exhi-
biting the harness work Of horses.
Mr.. G. F. McHardy, of Glen Cor

to be good entries.
The services of Mr.. A. e. Shaw,
of New Orleans, has been engaged
as judge of the chicken and pet

understands his business.
All are invited to make entries and
