Test, This bill repeats existing provi-
sions of law whereby ordinary police
men, detailed by sheriffs on recommen-
datlon of school principals, stoop to
such mental services as rounding up
truants who insist on staying away
from stndies which are furnished gratis
by the Territory.
Sheldon spoke for the bills and the
poor and overworked police. 1--WE have
principals now who don't teach, who
have private offices and read newspa-
pers. They get the police to round up
four and five-year old kids TO swell the
attendance, SO the principal may get as
much as 500. Let the principals teach
they don't now, and they can do the
rounding up themselves.

Representative irwin said the father

and this brought Sheldon to his feet,
protesting the member from Hawaii was
misqnoting him. Irwin moved TO table

most important acquisitions to the
teeming throng of business and in
dustrial plants in the eastern end of
Lake Arthur is the ]. c. Mack
Warehouse, erected in December last
Mr.. Mack, who for twelve years
past has been a successful Lake Ar
thur merchant, resolved at the close
of last to year to confine his activ-
tiles to the -four and feed line of the
mercantile field and to this end built
the commodious 35x70 foot structure
above referred to.
His success was immediate and
constant and he has handled nearly
half hundred car loads of these
staples since engaging in this exclu-
sive line. He is now installing a
grist mill plant corollary with his
other business and the coming sea-
aon contemplates large extensions to

C. O. HUNDLEY, JR.

The crouch, knocker and pessimist
could learn a useful and instructive
lesson by a study of Lake Arthur's
business conditions and business
houses. The latter have doubled in
number in less than two years and
each and every one has won the
laurel of success in the mercantile
field.
Perhaps the most striking instance
of speedy and unusual success is that
of C. O. Hundley who has done a
flourishing and ever increasing bus
mess since throwing open his doors
to trade and traffic in October last.
Mr.. Hundley is an expert grocery
man and he wisely determined to con-
fine himself to this field exclusively.
Hence, he is ever in close touch with
the markets in the staple and fancy

Mr. Buchanan, who has built up
the business of the company to its
present splendid proportions, is ma
tive of the Hoosier state and migrat-
ed thither from Logansport in 1897.
Prior to entering the mercantile field
he was a successful rice farmer.

WINFIELD S. STREETER.

The caption of this sketch does not
convey the fact that Mr.. Streeter is
manager of the Lake Arthur branch
of that great financial institution, the
Calcasieu Trust and Savings Bank,
elsewhere fully told of in this paper,
for one reason, because the writer
has noticed that Lake Arthur peoplt
do not say: 81 am going over to the
bank to make Deposit but rather:
Il am going over to Streeter's," to
deposit, draw a check, or to do what
ever may be the banking business in
hand. Locally, the great bank is
submerged in Mr.. Streeter's person.
atty.
And this is not to be wondered at
as he has been identified with the
towns banking interests ever since it
had bank.
Ten years ago he was the principal
organizer of the First National Bank
of Lake Arthur and was the prac-
tical head of that successful enter
prise until it was absorbed by its
present worthy successor in 1910.
Mr.. Streeter is a native of Iowa, in
his 35th year, and from the age of
20 until his 25th year, was connect
ed with the 1st National Bank OF
Estherville in that state, when he
came to Calcasieu parish and located
= at Lake Arthur.
He loves and thoroughly believes
in his adopted town, parish and state
and his purse and influence can a

EMANUEL TRAHAN.

The lumber trade is a pretty true
criterion of a towns material growth
md the fact that Lake Arthur sup
ports two large enterprises in this
line besIeaks its prosperity.
The most recent addition to bust
ness circles in this field is the exten-
sive yard of Mr.. Emanuel Trahan in
the eastern end of town where every
thing in lumber and bu-lding mater
ial is carried and the qualifications
and volume of which is constantly
widening and increasing.
The yard was established by
Eusebe and August Trahan two years
ago and purchased by the present
owner in August last.
Emanuel Trahan is young and
active business man and native to
Lake Arthur where he was born rs
years ago. He is scion of one of
the best known and well esteemed old
French families of Jefferson Davis
parish and an earnest worker for
Lake Arthur's up-building.
