STAPLES DEFEATS LOCAL HIGH
SCORE 24-1S.

SCORE 24-11
Cnfamllarity with the hall which
was extremely low-ceilinged, and a
tendency to individual playing against
team work, worked havoc with the
local high school basket ball team in its
game against the Staples High quintet
at Staples last Friday, the 18th, and
was RESPONSE BILE for its defeat at the
hands of the railroaders by the score of
"a to H.
The score at the end of the first half
was II to 8 IN favor of the Staples
high. By all accounts Of the game. 1T
would seem that had team work been
adhered to by different members of the
team at least two easy baskets more
would have been scored; which always
proves a great incentive for more
basket shooting.
The locals lined up for the Staples
game with Richard and Hall forwards,
Brannen center, and Grelsch and
Diedrich guards,
The local scoring was: Field goals
-Braauen 3, Hall 2, Diedrich I,
Griesch l; Free throws-Brannen 2,
Hall I. 49,
Frank Hall was chosen captain of
the High school quintet last Friday
while enroute for the Staples game.
Evidently it was an unlucky time and
place for tho selection OF captain but
this matter had been overlooked and
had to be remedied. ..E

THE TROLLEY ELECTION.

Next Monday the proposition
to levy a two mill tax for ten
years in favor of the Southwest
ern Traction and Power Co. for a
trolley line Overt the streets of
New Iberia to Jeanerette will be
submitted TO the tax payers for
their approval or rejection. Mr..
F. w. Crosby of New Orleans pres
ident Of the corporation arrived
here the early part of the week,
having in his possession a letter
Of acceptance from the corpora
ton which he represents, accept
ing the franchise as granted by
the City Council, STIMULATING that
within ninety days after the tax
is voted, they, the Southwestern
Traction Company will deposit in
a bank selected by the Council
the sum Of $4,000 as forfeit to
the City If the system be not COM
pleted within one year from date
of election.
From all indications the bust
ness men and in fact nearly all
OF the property holders seem
unanimous in voting the small tax
desired to encourage the projecss
as proposed by the gentlemen at
the head Of the corporation. Mr..
Crosby has spent both time and
money financing the enterprise,
having had much experience in
matters Of this kind and it be-
hooves those of our citizens inter-
ested in the welfare of New The.
ria to cast their ballot in favor of
the proposition as submitted. The
project Of building a road of this
nature, connecting the two towns
will ultimately lead to a line from
