HELLO LINE FOR WAUBONSIE
TRAIL.
Bell System Connecting Fast and
.~ West Ends Via CCnterVille.

In addition to the impetus given
the cause of good roads, the WaubOn-
sic Trail seems likely to bring other
benefits. One which is assured is a
long distance telephone line along
the marked route from Keokuk to
Nebraska City, which will pass
through Centerville. Linemen are
already at work on new lines in this
vicinity.
The long distance line over the
Trail is being put in by the Iowa Tel
ephone or Bell company which al
ready has toll lines of local charac-
ter running into Centerville. The
new line will be of first class con-
structon and will be an excellent
means of communication from point
to point along the automobile high
way, and it will be great conven-
fence, especially to autoists who get
into difficulties along the way.
The Iowa Telephone company al
ready has a good line from Keokuk
to Bloomfield and from Leon west,
but there is gap between these two
places where new lines will be built.
The new line to Leon will give Gen.
terville better telephone communica-
ton with Des Moines and points
west.
The presence of Bell linemen in
this vicinity gave rise to rumors of
the Bell system including local terri
tory, but Mr.. Harrington, manager
of the Appanoose County Telephone,
who returned from Denver yesterday
set these rumors at rest, stating pos
itively that there had been no nego-
tiations looking to a sale of the local
system.-Centervi}le Citizen.

The president got to vote after all.

he voted. And thereby hangs a tale.
Six years ago Mr.. Taft made a

take great pleasure in voting against
it. He declared this foul republican
machine was stencil in the nostrils
of all good citizens. The people OF
OHIO, realizing that William II. Taft
was telling the truth, applauding him
vigorously and with the utmost sin

THE MOTOR LINE,

Last week the Iberlan mention
9 | tie coming of the motor line
and the fact that three motor cars
had been ordered for the service.
These cars are to be Of the Nc
Keen Electric Gas Motor type, the
same as those which have been
rendering such satisfactory serv-
ice on the lines Of the Union Paci
fc Railroad. They will be pro
vided with separate compartments
for white and cOlored passengers;
also, compartment for the smok-
ers and another for the proper
handling of baggage and express.
They will have speed capacity
equal to that Of the steam prOpel-
led train. Their cost will bp $26,
400 each.
This information was given out
by Mr. A. L. Perkins, of st. Louis.
the president of the New Iberia &
Northern railroad, while here on
his visit Of last week. The order
had Il en- been placed several days
before and the contract called for
delivery Of the cars in 80 days
from the signing Of the contract.
1t is calculated that their arrival
here may be expected in ample
time for them to be put into com.
mission and regular service by the
LIST Of March next.
1t is understood from the local
officials that the fist service of
these cars will be tried out on an
hour schedule, from Loleauville;
through New Iberia, to Jeanerettr.
The service will be carried on
down the hne just as rapidly as
the tracks Of the Iberia, st. Mary
& Eastern will be extended east
ward and are made fit for the
service.
4 service of this character has
become quite popular between
Baton Rouge and New Orleans;
also, over the Frisco line in ST.
Landry and Acadia parishes. 1t
promises here to meet the favor of
the travelling public and to be lib
orally patronized.

FIELD FIRES.

More field fires have occurred
this year than ever known before
in this section. While they have
not wrought that degree Of deVas
tatiOn common to northern and
western states, yet the losses have
been severe in many instances.
These fires have been made possl
ble by the early freezes, followed
by the extreme dry spell, condl-
tlons peculiar to this year
Mr.. A. G.. DubOin, out on Pee
bles Coulee, lost 100 tons OF cane
by one of these field fires on last
Saturday.
Mr.. Emile Gajan had four acres
of cane swept by fire on the same
date, doing considerable damage.
Mr., Phil Browden had 90 acres
of land in blaze at the same
time.
The fields of Burke q Brous
sard were reported afire Oh last
Saturday, but our informanls dld
not learn the extent Of the dam
age.
The fires communicated with
the pasture of Mr.. II. 5. MeMa-
hon. below town and crossed into
the lands of Mr.. j. B. Kleinpeter.
Boys were seen setting fire to
the grass on the lands Of Mrs. a.
Bergerie, south of the city, but
they got away before they could
be apprehended. This blaze, be
fore it could be extiDguished, De

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. G., Dec 4, 1911.
CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.
Congress has resumed business
at the old stand, and the battle
between it and the President from
now on will rage with increased
intensity until the sweltering
days of next summer. The Presl
dent as usual is fighting for the
trusts and capitalists, and in fact
almost every body who wants to
plunder the public as he expects
them to 'sbuy" him another term
On the other hand Congress pass
ed several tariff bills last summer
which would have greatly benefit
ed the public. President Taft ve-
toed those bills as is we'll known,
simply because he thought it was
the wrong quarter of the moon or
something of that sort.
REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION
The greatest good, however, that
has resulted from the sweeping
Democratic victory last year, has
been the rotten and corrupt state
of affairs which they have uncov-
cred by their investigation. 1t
will be recalled that notwltbstand
ing the Pure Food Law on the
statute book DR.. Wiley, the cham
pion enforcer, had his hands tied
by two copper heads of the Agri-
cultural Department, thus nullify.
ing that law.
A STARTLING REVELATION.
The most startling development,
however, occurred last week when
the Stanley investigating commit
tee got hold of Wharton Barken
Of Philadelphia, a well known
banker. Mr.. Barker stated that a
few weeks before the Presidential
election of 1904 he was visiting
New York on business and in
talking with ane Of the money
kings Of that city was told that
the railroads had made a deal
with Roosevelt by which they
were to support and elect him and
on the other hand he was to ap
prove a law that looked to be an
important railroad reform bnt
which in reality was only bluff.
This law was to be so drawn as to
permit pooling, to do away with
free passes which had grown to
be intOlerable and a few other mi.
nor provisions. While this is the
first time the information has been
given to the public 1t has, never
theless, gradually on the public

won his election by corrupt deal.

"The Sweetest Girl in Paris'' the
head OF company that on the
whole Is creditable and a chorus
that is above the average. Trixie,
unlike many actresses with an
abundant supply of ax0irdup0is,
seems not a bit sensitive about the
fact. She uses it to advantage
and even shows that she doesn't

there is q little story. 1t concerns

tance OF twelve and one half miles.
Mr.. Crosby says the company pro-
poses to assem BILE the building materi-
ais ard machinery here before calling
for the common labor that will be
! needed to carry on: the undertaking.
This course is adopted for the special
REASON that the company does not
wish to draw upon the labor now so
much needed in the cane fields In a
few weeks more. it is expected, the
planters will be in position 10 re-
lease much of their extra labor, and at
the time the trolley company will
want it. The shipping of these build
ing supplies will commence this
month.
The site for the power-house has
been selected. 1t is located below this
city.
A large number of the right of way
deeds for the line were turned over to
Clerk of Court, J. G. Leblanc, on
Thursday of this week for recordation.
There is no indication now that there
will be any trouble in closing the few
small gaps in the right of way. 1t is
not expected that appropriation pro-
ceedings will be necessary IN any in
stance.
Mr.. Crosby still holds to his original
plan of making his home here in New
Iberia. He is making his headquar-
ters here now, given his entire atten-
tion to the details of the undertaking.
He expects his family to join him
here in the near future.
He expects to have the line ready
for service by the middle of next

TROLLEY PROPOSITION,

, On Wednesday evening President F.
W. Crosby, of the Southwestern Trac-
tion K Power Co, together with
Messrs. Jules Godchaux. Alex. Hyman
and Aaron Jacobs, all of New Orleans,
and number Of the citizens of this
place met in the Offices CT Mr.. Alphonse
Davis, in the Elks building, for the
purpose of discussing details of the
trolley proposition and the future OF
the line. 1t had been arranged that
Messrs. Lawrence Blum and Sol. Wex-
Ter should also be present at this
meeting, but other interests at the
last moment prevented their coming.
Mr.. Godchaux called attention to
the fact that some months ago the
trolley company had offered the peo-
pie of this section some S35, 900 of the
stock and imposing the condition that
this stock should be subscribed here
and at Jeanerette; and that only
about S 5000 of the amount had been
subscribed up to the present time.
The company was still expecting the
balance to be taken. When this will
lie done building operations will be
started at once. 1t was left to Ibe-
rians to provide for the needed $2O,-
