Mr. Waldo has never been superstitious
about the powers of the police dog. So
that he was mildly pleased to observe
that the three other great cities are do
ing just what New York is doing-experi-
menting with a handful Of ki-yis. There
is nothing new in the science of GRIM
inal identification, although NJ Bertillon,
the daddy Of 1t, has drawn a series OF
maps showing from which department Of
France the largest noses come and where
the shortest ears are raised. Mr.. Waldo
regards this as interesting. but no more.
Bertillon also has invented a camera
which shows the ground plan of the room
in which a crime has been committed
when the plate is developed. Waldo COM
mented on the judicial powers with
which Berlins commissioned officers are
invested.

thrown in the horse track and Smeared
by the round side OF the log smoothly
over the road. The smearing of The
earth by the drag is called ''puudling"
and it tends to make the surface of
the road smooth and water-tight
after the sun comes out The road is
always dragged after it has rained
and not when it is dry. A good.
strong pair of horses with we'll built
drag can drag about 3 or miles OF
road in day, and it is the best way
to maintain good roads.
1t occurs to the Echo that it would
be capital idea to provide SDlit-lug
drag for each road section in the
parish They are simple and easily
constructed, and are equally as simple
to operate, and if the road hands on
each section could be induced to take
an interest in the matter sufficient to
get out and drag the roads when it is
too wet to work in the crops and dur
ing the winter months when there are
no crops on hand. it would not be
long until we would have fairly good
roads throughout the parish, and
that, too, without the necessity of
any special road tax. But the solemn
truth is this interest is not taken,
nor does it seem that the grand juries
feel disposed to enforce the road law
as they find. The parish now owns
a good road machine that was used
some to good effect in and near this
town, and is now being operated III
the western part of The parish. There
will be found places on nearly every
road where this machine ought to be
used first to put them in proper con-
dition for the log drag to be used
ever afterwards. 1t does seem that
for the benefit, convenience and
pleasure of all the people. this matter
would receive immediate attention,
to say nothing about the inducement
it would hold out to homeseekers to
settle among uS.-Echo.

Mr.. w. III, Jones who died at Col
donna this past week, at the ripe old
age of 81 years 10 months and q days
was one of ouI best known and most
highly respected citizens. Though
born In Alabama, he moved to Mis-
sissippi when young man but later
came to Louisiana and spent the last
years of his life in our midst and by
his death our whole community loses
truly good christian man whose
home was always open to the needy
to whom no attention was ever re-
fused A man who led a truly con.
sistent life, always did his part in
church work and his last words were
that he was ready to meet his God.
He leaves wife and one daughter to
mourn his loss and to whom we ten.
der our sympathy. May the blessings
of Coo ever rest upon the bereayed.

The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1913-07-24

The many friends of Mr.. B. G.
Caldwell a nd they are legion, will
be delighted to know that be will
again make Natchitoches his per-
manent home. He has considered
it so eyer since he first came to
Louisiana as State Institute Con-
ductor when Col. I. D Boyd was
president of the Normal after
which in turn he became Training
Teacher and then President.
Though his duties for the
past few years as field agent
of the Jeannes fund, which APP
pointmenr was given him by
President Taft, necessiated having
his headquarters in New Orleans,
he still considered Natchltoches
his home, and never missed an
opportunity of coming back every
few months. Recently it was de-
cided to move the headquarters to
Washington, and Galveston was
being considered as the place
where the Southern bureau would
be opened but when Mr.. Caldwell
was, called into consultation, it
was decided to leave the selection
of the location in the South to him
and he at once choose Natchito-
ches and his choice was approved
by the Board.
And very soon again he will be
back in Natchitoches to live
among the people tc whom he is
wholly devoted and who will give
him a most cordial welcome as he
is most generally beloved bv prac.
tically everybody.

Dear SIR
When the Health Train was in
your city June 29th-July lst. in addi-
ton to general survey of the town,
81 sanitary inspections were made:
Letters of instruction will be for
warded to proprietors of individual
places; details concerning court Uouse
and JAIL sent to the President of the
Police Jury; and to you | desire to
submit report on City Council room
and general conditions of 1.-THE town
The place used as City Hall and for
City council meetings was found in
good condition.
In the general sanitary survey OF
your city the following conditions
were noted: Drainage, good; sewer
system: type Of closets e., GA" be-
ing the standard); no system in dis
posal of night soil and garbage COL
lection; no might stock ordinance;
water supply lat presently inadequate.
You will note from the tabulated
statement Of inspections that about
l6 per cent score good: and 80 per
cent fair. This record shows great
improvement since the former visit
MANY places of business have bean
screened and the city is especially to
be congratulated upon the improve
menls in the market. That the
streets are clean, in the absence Of
a system of garbage collection, is an
indication of the civic pride of your
citizens.
In quality the water supply Is good.
For an adequate supply 1t is impera-
tive that another we'll be dug in ad-
dition to the one now in progress. The
State Board OF Health is now max
ing all effort to nave each Iclty make
a monthly test OF the water, the find
ingS to be recorded in the office of
the Board. We hope in this to nave
YOUR co-oDeration as it is especially
necessary in cities where there are
public institutions.
In the interest of the public good
and a more sanitary environment,
wish to urge the Importance OF
night stock ordinance and the en-
forcsment of the regulation that no
one be allowed to keep hog or hogs
within the pound limits of any city
or to allow same to roam at large.
Further, for the elimination Of ty-
phoid and malaria that the breeding
places OF flies be destroyed and meas
ures taken for the destruction of the
pest. | desire also to call
your attention to the regulation of
the Sanitary Code which provides
that at shall be unlawful for any
person or persons owning or harbor-
Ing pigeons to allow them to go at
arge within any city or municipal
ity."
Thanking you and the citizens for !
the courtesies showed during the re-
;ent visit and hoping for your con-
,inued cooperation, am,
Yours very truly,
OSCAR BOWLING,
President.
