GOVERNMENT BUYs
 1914 CADILLAC.
Secretary of War Orders seven-Pas- senger Model for Commission to
 Inspect Chattanooga Park.

The United States Government, through the war department has re- gently purchased a 1914 Cadillac for the use of the Chickarnauga-Chatt ooga National Park commission. This action may be regarded not only as comp pliment to the Cadillac, which was selected from several cars under con sideration, but it also indicates the changing attitude of the government which has been somewhat reluctant to abandon the horse, Or to open the fed- eraI parks and preserves to the motor car. It was only recently that Yel-i lowstone Park was opened to auto-- mobile tourists.
 The purchase of the Cadillac was the outgrowth of a recent visit of the Secretary of War to Chattanooga. 1t is officially stated that not only is Chickamauga Park the best preserved and marked of all batt1eheIds in eS- istence, either in Europe or America, but also the lafgest. More troops were slain there than in any tWo-d days battle in the worlds history, nearly 50, ,oO0- falling in the Chattanooga campaign. The inspection of these vast properties by the commission ne- cessitates the covering of great deal of ground and heretofore it has been by horse drawn carriages. The sec retary, however, has put an end to this antiquated method byS the pur- chase of the new car.
 In acreage t4is government reser- vatiop exceeds the combined acreage of all other batfIeAeids in the coun- try and also in mileage of improved, roads. Nearly $5,000, ,0aO have been spent by the United States and state governments in erecting monuments and memorials in bronze, marble and granite, for observation towers to study the strategy of the campaign and in model roads and bouIevards, of, which there are |110 miles. One, of the best scenic automobile trips in the United States is the celebrated Gov ernment Crest Road along the top of Mission Ridge, traversing the great battlefield of the same name.

MUST NOT OPEN GATES.
New Haven Issues Warning Notice To
 Its Passengers.

]. (N. r.. N. H. & H. Press Bufeau-)
 The growing practice of passengers opening the gates on trains before the train comes to a stop at stations has led the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad to issue a warning notice on the subject. point ing out the dangers incident to it.. The gates on it's cars are rather pug zling, but it appears that many com muters and others have learned how to open them, thereby endangering their own lives and the lives Of oth- CTS.
 Passengers alighting from trains before they come to a stop" the no tfce says, f.are liable to serious, if not fatal injuries, Conductors, trainmen and Pullman employees must warn the public against the danger of this prac- tice and must not open gates or doors any sooner than is necessary before the train comes. to a stop at station. Where a, conductor, trainmans or Pullman employe is located on the platforms of cars approaching sta tions, a word of caution should, and in many instances, will have the de- sired effect on the public. 2

ALLAN PAIGE,s ESTATE.
Had He Died in 1906 It Is Estimated It Would Have Been Over
 $2,0OO, ,O0O.
Hartford Sunday c,

(Hartford Sunday Courant.)
 No little surprise was expressed when the announcement was recently made that the appraised estate of the late Allen w. Page amounted to $350,000. Had MT. Paige died in 1906 he would have left an estate of over $2,0o0,O0O. One business associate, with whom MT. Paige was connected in the manufacture of cement, is au- thority for the statement that in 1906 MT. Paige was worth closer to $3,0OO,- 900 than to $2,0O0,000. It is not gen. orally known that MT. Paige lost al- most every dollar of that large for tune in the panic of 1907, and most of his i'll luck came about through 8 bit of absent-rnindedness. About six months previous to the business de- pression MT. Paige had left an order with a wel1-knoWn brokerage firm in New York to buy a certain amount of steel stock common, when 1t got at 8 certain price When the prices in stock began to tumble, MT. Paige was a very busy man. He was interested in dozen things, and had stock in many more concerns. all of which were feeling the depression of the times. MT. Paige had forgotten all about the order for steel. It was just at that time that he received word from his brokers thatsthey had hon. ored his order in the purchase of steel common stock. By the time
 
 money to cover his transaction he had parted with a lot of valuable securi- ties. Finally the bottom appeared to fall from the market, and by that time MT. Paige had been obliged. to surrender his stock on steel and all of his other securities. He had been squeezed for every dollar he had. No doubt a number of his political friends about the state knew of his straits at that time, but he made no great cry over it. In one way and another it became known about the city.
 MT. Paige was not long on his back. He applied himself to busi- ness again with that energy that characterized all his undertakings It is said of him that he worked on an average Is hours a day. He was constantly the travel. He arrived in Bridgeport late at night and was l away early in the morning. He gave himself little time for rest and he was seldom seen about the city. Occa- sionaIly he was heard from, as he continued to keep up his interests in l the political situation, although talk ing active part. Consequently when the announcement was made Ethat he had left an estate valued at $35O,OO0 there was some surprise ex- pressed, as it was not understood that 1 he had recovered from his i11-luck of 1907 so well and quickly.

Manager Chevis of the South.
west Louisiana Development Blu.
aeau has called a drainage con.
ferende to assemble at Crowley,
on next Thursday, June the 4th.
AS draining is one of the most
important subjects in this sec.
ton at present it is thought that
there will be a number of citi-
zens from st. Landry who will
attend the meet. Mr.. Chevis is
endeavoring to obtain the coop
Grafton Of the parishes in South
west Louisiana in the matter of
comprehensive systems of drain
age.
The purpose of the conference
is:
To devise and consider some
comprehensive plan by which
effective drainage maybe estab-
lished for all the people of South
west Louisiana and combining a
of efficiency with a
miximum of cost.
To consider the legal problems
involved, in order that remedial
legislation may be obtained
should such be found necessary.
To consider the engineering
problems involved in order that
all NAV unite in support of the
best possible system.
And to formulate a plan by
which the Southwest Louisiana
Development Bureau may enlist
public sentiment in aid of such
plan or plans as may be deter
mined upon.
While the conference is pri-
marily a conference of engineers,
it is the desire also that all law
yers of the district who have had
experience in drainage matters,
all members of police juries
throughout the thirteen parishes
represented, all legislators.
bankers, business men and farm
ers, should consider themselves
especially and most cordially in
yited to attend.
It is understood that the pres
ident of the St. Landry parish
police jury will attend, as well
as several delegates appointed
by him. 1t is reported that this
parish will be we'll represented
at this important gathering of
spirited citizens of Southwest
