and Mansfield, just completed by the
State forces, is in fine shape notwith-
standing the recent heavy rains and
snow. He says the only bad place in
the eight miles is at Bayou Bon
Chasse, where the rain Sunday night
overfowed the embankment, and
that when repairs are made here the
road will make fine automobile run
between towns, the only thing lack
ing beside this little break being
enough travel to pack the earth.

A CREDIT TO THE PARISH.
Friday and and Saturday Hon. VIM.
Polk. of Alexandria, was in Mans

trip to Grand Cane by vehicle. On
his return he was interviewed by The
Journal and asked for an opinion on
the dirt road between the two towns,
this piece OF road having only recent.
ly been completed by State convicts
and under government supervision.
To say that Mr.. Polk was enthusi-
astic in his praise of this road would
be putting it mildly. He unhesitat-
ingly pronounced it the best dirt road
he had seen in the State, notwith-
standing its. newness and the fact
that it had just been subjected to the
severest winter weather. He stated
that in his travels he had observed
many different kinds of roads, and
that so far as scientific construction
and drainage is concerned, none were
ahead of this, and even the macadam
roads OF Virginia, when first built.
did not excel it. In short, Mr.. Polk
says the roads SO far built here are
an honor to DeSoto parish and he
believes these people will speedily
come to realize and appreciate this
fact, and will not permit the work to
stop until every road in the parish is
a model highway.-Mansfeld Journ-

Wonderful Wireless.

The saving of forty-seven more
lives is to he credited to that wonder
of wonders, the wireless telegraphy.
How many this makes in all We don't
know, but at least two or three thous-
and, we should say at a guess. And
yet it has been only few years since
probably half of US regarded the
promise made for the wireless tele-
graph as either the wild dream of an
enthusiast or the sauve talk of q
promoter. Never was SO great a
boon conferred on humanity with
so little fanfaronade; unobtrusively
and almost imperceptibly it has be-
come one of the, powerful touls of
daily life. The wireless telegraph
has destroyed the isolation Of the
ocean and made every ship on its
vast expanse a neigbor to twenty

Annual Meeting of Grant Parish Sing
ing Convention.

The last session of the Grant parish
singing convention was held with
Prospect church, four miles southwest
of Bentley, La, on Sunday, Febrn-
airy 20. 1910. 1t was the second
meeting since the old convention was
laid away some few years ago.
The convention has been re-organ-
ICED, and if the writer understands
the action of the body at it's first
meeting, the old constitution was re-
tanned. The writer was at the last
meeting, and everyone seemed to be
glad they were living. The morning
session began about 1870 a. m. by
singing several good songs from
"The Glad Hosanna," by the Pros
pect class, after which the body went
into business.
The committees having been ap-
pointed. the time for deciding where
the next session should be held was
at hand. Two nominations were
made, Oak Grove church and Verda
church. The decision was in favor of
the last named, after which the con-
vention Joined in singing that good
old hymn. "Jesus Lover of My Soul, )"
and adjourned for dinner.
The good people of Prospect SEEM
ed to realize some time before that
liberal table space was needed, and
had prepared to meet the occasion
with plenty of space, which was filed
with dainties of many kinds, and en-
joyable to all. The writer had to
leave before the evening session, but
feels sure the evening was well spent,
as four classes were represented, and
the committee on arrangements had
planned to have class singing.
Now, since the next session is to
he held with Verda Baptist church,
on the Saturday before and the third
Sunday in May, which is to be the
time for the annual election of officers
it would be nice to have delegates
from every church in the organiza-
ton present, and also another inn
portant feature, to havea class from
each church.
The Verda people would not have
called for the convention had they
not thought some lasting good
might he done in singing praises to
God. So come, and lets glorify Him
by spending two days singing praises
and fnrthering cause for which our
blessed Savior died.
Don't forget the date for the meet
ing at verda, May IA and Is, 1910.

He further states That since the in

all the serious crime in the parish
has been directly traceable to blind

DeSOTO'S GOOD ROADS
A Credit to the Parish---They are in
Fine Condition, Only Cost 500 q
Mile and are . Revelation
to the Skeptical.

The report having been sent out
through the medium of the State
press that the good roads being
built in DeSoto parish with the State
convicts are costing $4,000 mile,
the Mansfield Journal has taken the
trouble to investigate the matter.
1t finds that in order to reach $4,000
a mile for the first roads built the
parties haveincluded a large amount
of incidental expenses for equipment,
road machinery and mules, and this
expense should be extended over the
entire year and be pro rated on other
road work. 1t says:
"The work in DeSoto has largely
been undertaken in the most unfav-
orable season of the year and during
unusually severe winter, the unfavor-
able weather causing much loss of
time, during which period of suspen-
sion maintenance expenses have gone
on Just thesa as if work was under
way, So that, taking all adverse
conditions and cost OF equipment in
to the reckoning, it may be clearly
seen that there must be a large re-
duction from gross expenditures to
show net cost of a mile of road"
The report persisted in by oppo-
nents to good roads is that they cost
the parish of DeSoto $4,000 mile.
The actual cost thus far for 10z miles
h as follows: They built two miles
at $11OO mile. Then they built
two miles at $1,000 a mile, which
they call the best and cheapest road
ever made in the parish. Then they
made the grand route from Mansfield
to Grand Cane, six and three-quarter
miles. After deducting everything
but actual cost of work, it comes to
ST., 900, little less than $1,000 per
mile for the 10x miles built.
Those engaged in the work, how
ever, dispute this $1,000 cost vigor-
ously, claiming that the average cost
of good roads for the entire parish
will only be about 800 per mile.
We cannot take unauthorized news
paper statements as correct, but
there is one thing evident, that thus
far the roads have cost less than
$1,000 per mile, according to the
showing of those opposing the good
ronds system. We Gun well afford to
await a report of the police jury of
DeSoto on this matter, aud whether
the roads cost 500 or $1,000 a mile,
they are a credit to the parish, and
well worth thecost. 1t isevident the
people are pleased with the work.
and We print couple of clippings
from newspaper of that parish to
show public sentiment relative to
the matter, viz:
