true statement, let them go in per-
and inquire or drop a note to
some merchant friend and we are
sure the reply will be that their
business has been very much lessen
ed. In the fifth item it is stated
that Crowley, O~pelousas, New Iberia
and Rayne have competitive roads
and are in a position to reach out
into the trade of Lafayette and dam
age Lafayette materially We think
we have answered this statement
and can produce so much proof upon
the matter we cannot understand
how the promoters of this new rail-
road will avail themselves of such
statements that are SO easily dis
proven. The writer of the article
closes the same stating that the tax
payer needs to consider very care
FULLY before turning down this prop
o~sitiOn, and We say the taxpayer
needs to consider the benefits offered
by the new railroad before he votes
for it, because it may turn out to be
a very dear bargain, for it means
that if this tax is voted and the
road is constructed the town of LAT.
ayette must pay to this railroad the
sum of $20.71 every day for ten years
or 1850 days, Sundays and holidays
included. The article states that the
new railroad will connect at Eunice
with the Frisco and Rock Island
system. We all know that the Fris'
co system when passing through
Eunice on it's way from Houston to
Baton Rouge built a branch from
Eunice to Crowley and the taxpayer
should ask himself why the Frisco
didn't keep on to Lafayette instead
of stopping at Crowley, and would
they not have built into Lafayette il
they had thought it would have been
a paying proposition for them. Ano
the same thing may be said of the
Rock Island system. This is a very
important point for the taxpayer tC
consider, namely, why is it thai
some large railroad system like the
Frisco or Rock Island or the Texas
& Pacific do not build this railroad
into Lafayette themselves?
Uusally when a large railroad sys
tenn undertakes to build a new line
or a branch line they are quite GLAD
to be furnished with free right o.
way or free ground for terminal ia
cilities and they also smile and al
the same time wonder how it i.
that private individuals who are no
| railroad men can succeed in carrying
through propositions of getting sucf
large tax bonuses voted for small
railroads which must for many year!
remain branch lines, such a one a:
is proposed for Lafayette at thi.
time.

MAY FORCE DARDANELLES
italian Fleet Said to Be Headed for
ConstantinopIe.


Paris, Oct. 14.-Diplomatic officers
are appalled, by reports that peace ne
gotiations have been broken off be-
tween Turkey and Italy and that an
Italian feet is on it's way to attempt
the passage of the Dardanelles.
The strait Is heavily mined and
heavily fortified, but Ii is recognized
that the Italian vessels might break
through and have Constantinople at
their mercy.
A descent on European Turkey is
just what the powers have been try
ing to prevent ever since the Turko.
Italian war broke out, on account OF
the danger of international complica'
tions.
Now, however. the situation Is
worse than ever. With an Italian fleet
in the Sea of Marmora and Italian
troops probably landing on the Turk
ish coast the last hope OF Turkish
success in this instance would seen
TO be gone.
With its capital dominated by the
guns of hostile fleet or battered te
pieces by their fire and ring OF Ital
ian. Greek, Montenegrin, Servian and
Bulgarian troops closing in on Its de
tenders, Turkeys end might fairly b
considered inevitable.
