GOOD EARTH ROADS,
IF NOTHING ELSE,

1t is, Of course, more desirable
to have permanent roads built of
gravel or some other material
equally as good, but still the
building Of model roads with the
earth through which they pass, is
lots better than not building them
at all. Our model road to Camp
Stafford is all instance of this.
OF course, it Is necessary that
roads so constructed, need atten-
tion. Any road, it matters not OF
what material il In constructed
needs TO be maintained. The
model road in Grant parish is said
to be in excellent condition during
these winter months, and that
there are only two or three bad
places in the thlrty-two mile
stretch. Alexandria Town Talk.

CANAL.

On Wednesday afternoon the
following members of the Com
mittee of Fifteen met at the City
Hall for the pyfpose of consider.
ing all quest 6ns pertaining to the
Canal to bHcut, connecting Ba-
yous Tecbe and Bontte: Messrs. r..
w. Ashley, II. II. Shade, M. w.

Taylor, Ed. l.. Esforge and II r..
Nlllard. Besides the members of
the Commlttee, Commissioners
Fontelieu, Suberbielle and Viller-
min and Mr.. w. l.. Grant were
present.
Many phases of the canal ques.
tion were discussed at consldera-
bic length, with the result that
the Committee agreed than it
would be the best policy to locate
the canal along the shortest oh.
talnable route. In accordance
with this view the propositions TO
again change the route so as to
make it run along the northern
boundary of the Hutton planta
tion, 1t was agreed, should be sub.
mtted to Mr.. w. Y kemper, the
Civil Engineer for his suggestions
and approval.
If this ronte is approved then
Mr.. III. II. Shade is to accompany
Mayor F0ntelien on visit to the
property owners, over whose
properties the canal may pass, in
the effort to secure the necessary
right OF way.
After these preliminaries will
have been settled tho Committee
will meet again to take up the
next logical steps.

TICKET OFFICE ROBBERY

The cash drawer of the South.
ern Pacific X. X. ticket Office at
this place was robbed on last San
day night. The thief secured
some S33 and, for the time, made
good his escape undetected.
| Mr.. A. C. Hollerman is the day
agent and Mr.. Leon Bagarry
serves the public at night.
Trains being near their schedule
time TOR this point there is no
need of the ticket agent in the Of
flee for couple of hours after
dark. The day man, on this occa.
sion, took up his cash at the end
OF the days sale and locked 1t up
In the Office safe, leaving about
$40 IN the cash drawer Of the TIC
ket case as change for the conve-
nience Of the night man. After
seeing that all things were secur.
ed, he left for home.
The thief was evidently ac-
qnainted with the customs Of the
office and timed his operations ac
cordingly. He seemed to enter
the Office through the ticket win
dow Of the colored waiting room
and lost no time in proving the
vnlnerability or the cash drawer
and, after securing its contents,
decamped without being discover.
ed. The thief was quite daring
to have undertaken the risks Of a
robbery at such d time, for at
such an early hour there must
have been many passers going to
and fro, besides the baggage and
express Office were open only a
few feet away on one side and
the freight Offices were closed at
hand on the other.
Mr.. Mitchell, an employee Of
the road, that afternoon was ten
dered bill from which he was to
take four dollars due him by q
creditor. Not having the proper
change, be requested that the
amount be left with the ticket
agent and this was done. -Four
one dollar bills we're pinned to q
sheet Of paper, bearing the name
Of Mr. Mitchell, and dropped into
the cash drawer awaiting Mr..
Mitchelps call This swelled the
haul Of the thief just that much.
The city police department was
notified Of the robbery and the
facts were wired the higher OFF,
cisls of the company. The i'm
preston is ont that by Monday
afternoon the compnny had three
detectives at work On the case on
the grounds, and that one dol
lar bill had been located, bearing
piDholes In just about the posi-
tion that might bs expected to
lind those made by the Ticket
agent in pinning the bills to
getber.
