ACTIVE STEPS BEING
K BOND ISSUE.
Progressive League Appoints Committee to Act In
Conjunction With Council In
the Matter.

That there will be an active
fight made for a bond issue to
cover, principally, sewerage and
schools, is asettled matter among
the progressive citizens of the
city,
The inclusion of the electric
lights plant Every important and
necessary, and a city hall is
also contemplated.
The scheme most favored now
is a bond issue Of say $500, 900,
backed by a fve-mill tax. This,
it is figured, would cover sewer
age, plant, school and city hall.
Many who have hitherto OPP
posed taxation have expressed
themselves in favor of this bond
issue. They feel that as they
have been relieved Of the Colo
rado Southern, New Orleans &
Pacific Railroad fve-mills tax,
which was voted practically
unanimously, it is now IN their
power, without any additional
tax hardship being imposed upon
them than that which they voted
a few years ago, to vote a tax for
the benefit and advancement of
their city; for the enhancement
of their property; for the health
Of their wife and children and
themselves. Many feel that in
reality the Colorado Southern,
New Orleans & Pacific railroad
will be the one to pay this tax
will be the one to build a sewer
age system and a school house
and a modern electric light and
Waterwork plant and city hall
for Opelousas.
And that is the right way to
look at it.

Success.

Opelousas has a t~hrice-a-week

come out last Monday.
It is practically a successor to
the old Courier, which suspended
publication three weeks ago,
after an existence of some sixty
years.
The new paper flies under the
name of The St. Landry Press,
and is fve-cOiumn, four pages.
Thos. Il. Wheeler, Jr., of New
Orleans, is the Editor, and r. H.
Price, of Opelousas, Business
Manager. The firm name is
Price & Wheeler. Monday,
Wednesday and Friday are the
publication days.
The Press says that it belongs
to no gang or clique, and is pub
fishing a paper to make money.
1t promises a neWsy, interesting,
fearless paper.

city sAgn Claimed.

It really looks like Opelousas
will have a sugar refinery.
Prospects never looked better.
Every wind blows favorable tic
the proposition.
The stock, we are informed,
has been about taken up. There
are yet a few thousand dollars
not subscribed, but there seems
to be no apprehension in that di-
rection.
And it lis said that some of the
banks have expressed q willing
ness to take upsome of the bonds
to be issued. That speaks well
for the banks, and viii have the
effect of stimulating confidence
in the refinery proposition.
Where banks venture the ordl-
nary investor will not fear to
tread
Another incident which has
had the effect of inspiring conf
dence here is the action of Mr..
M. j, Herman, who is ~negotiat-
ing for the sale of the mill. He
told the people here that the mil
was of five hundred-ton capacity,
and in good condition. Local ex-
perts from here-Messrs. Louis
Hebert and I. E. Ltbell-were
sent to look at the mill, and re
port that it is of six hundred
capacity and in good condition
Mr.. Hebert estimates the ma
chinery to be worth more than
the amount set by Mr. Hanagrif,
the engineer selected by the
Opelousas people to examine and
report the valuation of the plant.
The formation of the company
was completed this week, and the
concern is to be known by the
name of the Opelousas Sugar
Company.
The report of MIR. Hebert is as

Remember that in buying
this lot of machinery, you are
not buying anything that is

is for salesbecause the people you

vigorous protest was entered
against the damming Of Bayou
Courtableau, and the consequent
interference with the Schell Ca
nal, one of the most beneficial
projects ever conceived for this
country, and the entire South
west Louisiana.
A committee, composed OF
Messrs. E. P. Veazie, E. B. Du-

was appointed to draft resolu-
tons relative to the matter
The following resolutions, re.
ported by the committee, were
reported, and adopted unani-
mously:
BE it resolved, that we, the
citizens of Opelousas, st. Landry
parish, Louisiana, do hereby pro-
test in strongest terms to having
the waters Of the Bayou Courta-
bleau diverted to run through
the Bayou Teche or any other
than its natural course. We
protest against the U. S. Gov
eminent establishing navigation
through the Bayou C~ourtableau
by way of Bayou Teche, and ask
that it be let alone just as it is
for the time being, or until the
engineers can devise some other
plan to establish navigation than
through the Bayou Teche. /.

Better Oats Can Be Raised

DO you know that Louisiana
oats weigh two pounds per bush
ell more than do Texas oats??''
said Mr.. Perrin, Government
Agricultural Demonstration, to

MIR. Perrin says those farmers
who have devoted time and in
telligent cultivation to oat rails
ing in this section have made a
signal success Of it. Mr.. E. NJ.
Boagni made five hundred bush
els of oats the past season, at
moderate expense.
A few years back it Was{pot
thought possible to raise oats in
this section. They had never
