The cold pressed brick made by
the Fouke Brick Co., of COlfax, are
first-class in every respect. When
the plant was first started several
years ago, Mr.. Will LaCroix took a
lot of the brick to New Orleans and
entered contest with about a dozen
concerns competing for contract to
supply the U. s. Navy Yard with
brick, and the Colfax brick had the
honor of being declared the best by
test as to resisting quality, iInpervi-
BUSINESS to water, tensile strength.
and other qualities not now remem-
bered. Lack of transportation facil-
tiles and freight rates at that time
was the only thing that cut the CON-
pany out Of a big contract with the
government.

Payment of the Exposition Tax

The exposition tax is figured by
Mr.. Thompson, president of the
Panama Exposition Com pany, as
capable of meeting its bonds in
ten years, provided the same ratio
of increase in State and city values
continues for the next ten years
that have prevailed since 1906.
We hazarded the opinion in our
editorial of last week that these
bonds could be retired in forty
years without any increase in tax
alton, simply from the natural in
crease in values. 1t is therefore
pleasing to see that SO eminent An
authority is of the opinion that
they can be met in one-fourth of
that time, if the same conditions
prevail as heretofore.
The full force and effect of the
exposition amendment is explain
ed by Mr.. Thompson in an article
OH our front page, to which We
call the particular attention of our
readers. 1t ought to be quite sat-
isfactory to the people of the State
to know that New Orleans is to
pay more than four-fifths of these
bonds.

LIVE STOCK PARADE.

promises TO BE One OF Main Attrac-
tions at the state Fair.
Judging from the entries that have
already been filed and the hundreds
of communications that Secretary
Louis N. Brueggerhoff has received.
the live stock parade will be one of the
principal attractions daily at this
years State Fair, which is to be open
ed on the second day Of November.
Never before were the indications
brighter for this feature of the big
Fair. The exhibition OF the fine-bred
stock during the past three years. In
parade before the grandstand. has met
with popular approval and has stirred
up an enthusiasm that rs resulting In
extra good prospects for bigger pa
rade than ever this year.
Every afternoon the parade Of the
fine blooded stock will take place It
will be on the race track directly In
front of the grandstand so that every
one who desires can watch the prize
takers as they are led in front of the
stand. There will be no admission to
this attraction. II Is one Of the free
features of the Fair.
Fine horses and cattle VIII particl-
pate prominently in the parade. Be-
tween the races on some of the after
Moons they will be paraded. Native
raised specimens will be in the parade
by the scores. judging from the no
tees received by the secretary. and
that will add to the interest In the at
traction.
Owners of the fine blooded stock are
proud of them and. naturally. enjoy
seeing them shown off to their friends
1t is an exhibition that creates com
ment and through that grows in inter
est, asc evidenced by the previous dat
ly parades during the State Fairs.
As stated above. more stock will be
paraded this year at the Louisiana Fair
than ever before, and more Louisiana
products will be in the number SO ex
hibited.

Il Wasn't Such a Joke After All.

The letter of the convict which was
published in the Chronicle a couple
of weeks ago seems to have created
stir among penitentiary officials.
The Picayune Correspondence Bu-
reau has this to say about the mat
ter:
Ex-Governor Heard made an in
vestigation of theletter purported to
have been written by one of the pris-
oners of the State penItentiary seek
ing a pardon to q Colfax citizen, and
published in a Grant parish paper,
that he was learning to hold up
trains, rob safes, and alleging that
the State penitentiary was Il college
of crime. President Heard's investi-
cation developed the fact that the
letter was written by Alden Lagrue,
sent up from st. Tammany parish,
but was written at the dictation and
request of Z. II. Carter and sent for
him. Both convicts declare that
they did not mean a word that was
said, that the letter was written as a
joke and was intended as such. Its
publication, however, did not in
dictate that it was joke. and the
charges were denied by the peniten-
tiary officials"
The letter as published by US was
genuine all rightenough, and, wheth-
er written in fun or not, it trenches
on very serious subject. Mr.. Heard
and his associates can rest assured
that there is some solid truth in the
letter, and whether they act in the
matter or not, some penitentiary re-
forms are needed.

II Never Touched Him.

The long delayed report of Trsv.
cling Auditor Smith, about Mr..
AswelPs four years accounts while
State Superintendent, is a most
decided fiasco, SO far as substanti-
ating the alleged Irregularities
which Mr.. Smith by some i'll
founded intimations caused some
persons to believe were in exist
ence. The investigation is not
only complete vindicstion of Mr..
Aswell as an upright and honest
man, but is a most remarkable
showing of unusual care and pains
taking on his part to correctly use
the public money entrusted to him.
Very few men entrusted as he has
been could be called at the end of
four years to make such a satisfac-
tory accounting. 1t is a credit to
him that in the midst of the active
life that he has led, relying solely
on his integrity and the public &C.
countings on his behalf, he is able
to refute any and all charge of
neglect or wrong doing.

Portugal Changes Monarchy for Re.
public.

A great upheaval occurred in Por-
tugal last week, King Manuel beirlg
driven from the country, and u re-
publican form of government be ing
proclaimed. The revolution is some.
what similar to that in France. and
Spain, being directed largely toward
the separation of church and state.
The same excesses alsoprevGl in the
expulsion OF priests, monks a,ad nuns.
1t seems hard for the people of that
country to understand that liberty
does not mean war on women and
pillaging OF churches. In the end,
however, they may learn, and justice
will doubtless rule.

Good Roads in Grant q Certainty.


No amount of garbled criticism
or Misrepresentation of the facts
should be allowed to obscure the
plain statement of Engineer Lom-
bard, in regard to the cost of build
ing the 853 miles of good roads
proposed in Grant parish. He
says, at is safe to say that the cost
will be between $3.50 and $780,"
His statement as to the cost of
outfit of mules, carts, scrapers, en-
gines, ETC., estimated at $4,000 or
800, 900, might have to be pro rated
over the 853 miles, as an addition
al expense, if the parish tries to
build her own roads. This, at the
highest figure, would make the
roads cost $l033 per mile. Even
at this unlikely high rate, Grant
parish by her five mill tax already
voted will be able to build Sc
miles of good roads. And if the
good roads Constitutional amend
ment is carried, she will be able to
build 1872 miles at that figure.
Mr.. Lombard goes into a large
field of estimates, about convict
labor and free labor, the cost of
browning roads with gravel, etc.
All of this is useful information
for Our police jury in going about
the work of building roads in
Grant parish, but, as we said two
weeks ago, they are bound by none
of it, and are free to contract with
the party proposing to do the
cheapest work. If, however, they
go into the plan he has outlined,
there is no probability that the
cost will reach the high average of
$500 per mile, even if they have to
build eight or ten miles of gravel
surfaced roads in the swamps.
The discussion OF this subject at
this time, however, is not at all
pertinent to the issues before US,
and it evidently is only raised to
obscure the horizon and becloud
other issues. The building of good
roads in Grant parish is assured,
no matter what the State or other
communities may do. Grant par
ish has already levied a 5-mill tax
for five years to build good roads,
and it is going to be done by our
police jury in a level headed and
business way in spite of all adverse
criticisms. Yes, Stree; we al
ready have good schools, and We
are going to have good roads, and
a parish fair association that will
give us a good parish fair.
