STRIVING TO ARRIVE
At SOME AGREEMENT
Receivers For Union Irriga.
ton Company Confer
With Note Holders.

William Edenborn. owner of
the Louisiana Navigation rail
road, and Fl. P. Dart, one of the
most prominent civil lawyers in
the state, who were appointed
co-recievers of the Union Irriga-
ton Company, held a conference
at the Lewis & Lewis Offices last
Saturday with parties who are in
possession of notes against the
company. The object of the
meeting was for the purpose of
arriving at some agreement be-
tween the receivers and the far
mers Of this parish from whom
the Irrigation company purchas-
ed lands.
Some of the parties who sold
land and hold vendor lien notes
are afraid the receivers certifi-
Gates would be considered as
court costs and prime their notes
but both Edenborn and Attorney
Dart, as well as Judge Pavy
agreed to write on each certifi-
cate issued that it does not in
any way take priority over these
notes
There are several thousand
acres of land now being operated
by the Union Irrigation Company,
part of which has already been,
planted, whilst the remainder
has been plowed. most of which
it is thought, if the note-holders
would foreclose, would produce
no crop this season, as the plant.
ers, who formally owned those
lands are not prepared to cult,
vate them at present. On the
other hand If the receivers con
tinue with their present force
and organization a crop can be
made and the canal would carr
considerable rent, which Woule
mean the ultimate success OF the
great schell undertakings
The pumping plant Of tbs
ScheIl canal. near Washington
has been in operation for tn
last week, all Of the large canall
| being already filled and a sufH
| cient amount Of water provided

START ON ELECTRIC
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
After Much Delay GameWell
Company Now Erecting
Splendid System.

The modern and up-to-date
electric fire alarm system, which
has been pronounced by many
wise ones as the best system OBJ
tainable, secured by the recently
retired council, is being erected
in this city by the GameWell
Company, after much delay, on
account Of Mayor Ioeb's oppo-
sition to this particular system.
The system will consist Of
twenty modern fire alarm boxes,
with the bell system attached at
the Central Fire Alarm Station.
After it will be constructed it
will be no trouble to ascertain
the portion of the city in which
a fire is raging. AS soon as the
alarm will be turned in from any
of these boxes the iremen at the
Central station will know eX-
actly where to go for the fire.
It has been figured that the
saving OF time alone, to the fire
men by this system over the
present inadequate or no system
at all, will repay her for the
money expended in this progress
sive direction.
After this system is erected it
is said that Opelousas will be the
only town it's size in the state
with such modern electric fire
alarm system, showing that the
council has always looked for
ward to secure the best obtain
able in ANYTHING.

LOCALS TO JOUR.
NEY TO EUNICE
Special Train to Carry Sew
eral Hundred Fans. -Atz
to Become Manager.

The local baseball boys will
journey to Eunice Sunday af-
ternoon to tackle that strong
team. Eunice and Opelousas
met in this city two weeks ago,
the locals being vanquished by
the superior luck of the visitors.
It is expected however, that If
luck breaks even Opelousas will
be victorious in the Sunday
game.
A special train will be operat
ed from this city to Eunice by
the Frisco railroad; the fare for
the roundtrip will be 86 cents
and it is expected that several
hundred local fans will attend
the ball game, which promises
to be the sensation of the base
ball season.
Shortstop Jakey Atz, it is ru-
mored in town, will be the next
manager of the Opelousas club.
It understood and in fact it is
a sure fact that Mayor Loeb has
his hands full already with mu-
nicipal affairs and is unable to
devote as much time as he has
been devoting to baseball. His
only wish is to defeat Eunice,
stating during the week that
when this task had been accom-
plished he would resign as man
ager. Atz is we'll liked by all of
the local PLAYERS and his knoWl-
edge of the national sport would
greatly assist the home boys in
developing into splendid players.
For that reason it is understood
that the board of managers of
the OpeIousas club will request
Atz to take charge of the team,
in the event that Mayor Loeb
finally resolves to resign.
The special train will depart
from this city at / o'clock sharp
Sunday afternoon.

WANT MOTOR SERVICE
EXTENDED TO ALEX.
Progressive Leagues On
Branch Demand Another
Moror Car.

Realizing that travelling facili-
| ties between Lafayette and Alex
andria are inadequate with the.
growing need of the public the
progressive leagues of the various
towns on the Alexandria branch
are cooperating in petitioning
| the Southern Pacific railroad to.
establish a daily motor car sea-
vice between Lafayette and Alex
fandria.
The OpeIousas Progressive
| League, met In this city on last
Tuesday evening and discussed
/ the possibility of a motor car SER
vice to Alexandra.
| It was the unanimous opinion
/ that the Southern Pacific could
Ieasily establish the service at d
profit, which at the same time
would render the travelling ac-
comodations much better than
they have been heretofore be-.
tween this city and north Lou
Eisiana.
/ At Washington the two leagues
met on Thursday evening and
discussed the same proposition
and it is thought that when the.
representatives of the two civic
organizations will appear before
/ the railroad officials the Southern
Pacific will grant their wish.
With the establishing of a mo-
] tor car service between Lafayet-
/ te and Alexandria the people liv-
ing on the Alexandria branch
/ would have splendid aeconoda-
tions, and 1t is hoped that the
railroad company will grant the
wish of the many towns on the
! branch line.

In pitchers duel, with Tom
Casey getting slightly the best
of the argument and with the
batters behind him, Opelousas
defeated strong bunch of
home boys from Lafayette
on last Sunday evening. Peck
pitching for Lafayette showed a
great deal Of class AM had his
team mates been able to clout
the ball out of the infeld there
might be a different tale to tell
to-day.
However the Opelousas boys
played a splendid game, giving
Casey almost faultless support,
with the exception of one error,
which allowed a runner to go
from first to second.
Casey showed better form
last Sunday than he has since
his return frsm Galveston. He
struck out only seven men, but
allowed not a single hit until the
ninth inning, when two Lafay-
cite batters hit safely.
Opelousas had no particular
stars in last Sundays game, all
players doing splendid work;
however, Broussard, Casey,
and Francioni were given the
most chances in the infield, every
one of which they handled per
fectly. Brown in left field made
a pretty catch off of Bergeron's
bat.
At the bat Broussard, Casey
and Atz did the best work. In
the third Casey drew a line drive
in right center for two bases.
Broussard was allowed to run
for Casey; Atz with nice little
bingle over the third baseman's
head brought the runner in
home.
The sensational running of
Francioni on bases proved to be
the feature of the day; the pop
ular second baseman OF the To-
Gals went from first to home on a
series of wild throws. taking
daring chances. Brown in left
field caught terrific drive off of
Cafery's bat, which looked good
for extra bases. Broussard. at
third, played in top form, field
ing his position in his usual
splendid style, besides securing
two hits.
The prettiest play of the game
was when Broussard hit a low
drive to second, which seemed
safe hit, but which was f1elded.
quickly by Pyatt, who in turn
threw quickly to Billeaud for a
double play.
The Lafayette boys played ex-
cellent ball in the field and with
a little more practice they would
bid fare to become one of the
strongest amateur teams IN this
section.
