TO CONSTRUCT fINE
UP P-TO.DATE GARAGE
Joseph Bordelon Will Erect
One Of The Finest Garages
In This Section.

Opelousas will soon have one
Of the finest automobile garage
buildings in Southwest Louisiana.
Mr.. Joseph Bordelon, senior
member of the firm of Joe Bor-
delon & Son, publicly announced
on last Wednesday evening that
he would soon have the building
under construction.
Mr.. Bordelon is now agent for
the Hudson and the Hopmobile
cars, which he will handle ex-
clusively, W hist Bordelon q
Hays will operate their garage,
at the same time be salesman for
the two make of cars, which MIR.
Bordelon handles.
The building will have a cement
floor, and will have a large glass
front and will be roomy enough
to accommodate scores Of cars at
the same time.
Mr.. Bordelon expects that the
contractors will soon be occupied
with his garage and that it will
not take very long for the work
to be completed, after which
Opelousas will have one OF the
largest garages in this portion OF
the state.

HupmObile and Hudson Light Six
Make l65 Miles In Down Pour
Rain from Baton Rouge
TO (pelOusas.

Last Sunday Messrs. Jos. Bor-
delon, Martin Bordelon, s. M.
Durand and Mr.. Fred. Perkins,
State Distributor for the Hupmo-
bile, crossed the Mississippi at
ten O. o'cIock A. NJ. at Baton Rouge
with a Hupmobile and a Hudson
Light Six, enroute for Opelousas.
Upon reaching a point about
five miles from Baton Rouge il
began raining a slow drizzling
rain making the trip a very te-
dious as well as hard one, but
the two cars reached here the
following morning in tip tor
shape, the Hup pathfnding al
along the line.
Steve claims the red clay
through the entire parishes od
Avoyelles and Evangeline to be

FARMERS union WILL
MEET HERE IN JULY
Through Miss Carron's IN
huence Convention Is
Brought To Opelousas.

The annual convention of the
state farmers union will be held
in this city sometime in July.
Miss Minnie Carron, state secre-
tary, and president r. Lee Mills.
of the parish union, went to
Marksyille, recently armed with
a large number of invitations
from prominent men of Opel
ousas, and succeeded in convinc-
ing the board of directors that
.Opelousas is the ideal convention
city of Louisiana.
This will be the second time
that this city has been hostess to
the sturdy farmers of Louisiana;
by the very fact that the farmers
have chosen Opelousas as their
convention city for the second
time it can be concluded that this
city makes an excellent hostess.
1t is due to the efforts of Miss
Minnie Carron and President
Mills that Opelousas had again
been honored by the state far
mers' union, and it is to be hop
ed that the people of Opelousas
will let no stone remain unturned
in order to make this convention
as great a success as any ever
held in any city in Louisiana.
Mayor Loeb has been advised
officially that the convention
will take place from July 18th
to August 1st, inclusive.

READY TO INSTALL
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Opelousas Will Have Best
Fire Alarm System in
the State.

The long talked of alarm sys-
tenn. which was secured for Ope-
lousas, through the indefatiga-
bic efforts Of chief of fire de-
partment, A. S. Brown, assisted
by the Clarion, will be installed
very shortly.
c. F. Maulen, superintendent
of construction, has been in the
city for the last few days at
tending to the preliminary work.
He expects that the system will
be completed within three
weeks.
There will be twenty of the
latest and most up-to-date fire
alarm boxes, with storage bat
terry attached, which can be
found only in larger cities than
Opelousas. The public alarm,
which will Immediately sound
the box number from which the
alarm has been turned in, will be
placed at the central ire station,
on Union street.
Mr.. Maulen was surprised &c
learn that the laws of Louisiana
did not compel the insurance
companies to reduce their rates,
upon the establishing of a mod
ern and up-to-date fire alarm
system. He stated that this was
the only city in which he has
constructed systems that did not
enjoy the insurance rate reduc-
ton, after securing a splendid
fire alarm system.
Opelousas will have to expend
over ten thousand dollars in or
der to be placed in the second
class cities and obtain a reduc-
ton of 20 per cent: whilst the
city fathers have not expressed
their opinion on this matter it is
thought that Mayor Loeb will
soon take this into consideration
and it will not be long before
that needed improvement is also
secured for Opelousas.

PHILLIPS To- ACT AS
JUDGE in DEBATES
Chosen AS One Judge in
Missippippi Intercollegi-
ate Contests.

w. M. Phillips. a member OF
the faculty of the Louisians State
University, has been selected to
represent this institution as a
Judge in the Mississippi Intercol-
legiate Association contest to be
held soon. The request came at
the hands of the president of the
Mississippi association.
Phillips is to act as judge OF
manuscripts in the oratorical con-
test. For this contest one judge
is selected from a number of the
Southern institutions scripts are
to be judged on originality,
thought and rhetoric. Another
set Of judges will decide the ora
torical merit of collegiate stand
ing. The combined score of the
reports of each set of judges will
determine the winners in the
contests.
The Mississippi Intercollegiate
Association is composed of the
University of Mississippi, Mlssis-
sippi Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College, Mississippi College
and Millsaps College. Each in
stitution will have one contestant
in the events.
The selection of Mr.. Phillips as
a Judge in this contest came as a
complete surprise to him. He
now holds a fellowship in the de-
partment of history and econo-
mics. He received his A. B. de-
gree from the University in 1913.
and his name has been connected
with literary and oratorical con-
tests during his university ca
reer. He is now president OF the
Dramatic Club, and has taken
parts in number of dramatic
productions. Herepresented the
Louisiana State University in a
successful contest with the Uni
versity of Tennessee in the Pen
atgonal Debating League in 1913.
He is a member of the Tau Kap-
pa Alpha fraternity, an honorary
dational debating fraternity, and
is now historian for the local
chapter. Revellie.

TO START WORK ON
GRAVEL ROAD MONDAY
Contractor Elijah Fisher
VIII Begin Undertaking
On Washington Road.

The eight foot gravel roads,
which are to be constructed in
this parish, are now in sight.
After appropriating 500, 900 for
good roads the police jury was
delayed on account of
several minor things, but it was
announced during the week that
on Monday the work would be
started in earnest. Elijah Fish
.er, contractor, viii start his men
on the Washington road, leading
out of this city from Main street.
The road will be shaped up and
given a very good and substan
tial crown. which will be worked
scientifically, before the gravel
will be laid. Eight feet of good
dirt road will be on each side OF
the eight foot gravel pavement,
and it is expected, with the prop
er drainage, which will be given
these roads that it will make a
road much superior to the present.
day dirt highways.
It is thought that a crew will
be set to work from Washington,
coming towards Opelousas, SO.
that it will meet up with Mr..
| Fishers men, midway between.
Opelousas and Washington.

SUCCESS OF SCHELL
CANAL NOW IN SIGHT
Union Irrigation Company Goes In Hands Of Re-
ceiyers To Secure Safety OF Stock And
Bond Holders.

The Union Irrigation Company
went into the hands of receivers
on Thursday evening, when the
court appointed j. Franklin
schell, of Washington, and VIII.
liam Edenborn, Of New Orleans.
as receivers. This action on the
part of the stockholders Of the
great company does not mean
that the Irrigation Company has
failed, as is generally the rule
whenever a corporation is thrown
into the hands of a receiver.
On the contrary the success OF
this large enterprise never had
q brighter prospect than at pres
ent; never was success staring it
in the face as it is now and there
is nothing to stop the company
from succeeding.
Mr.. Edenborn and Manager
Schell have already started on
the new years crop in earnest;
on account of lack of money the
several thousand acres of land OF
the largest enterprise in this par
ish lay waste until Thursday
evening. The two receivers now
have unlimited amount of money
at their disposal and every bond
and stockholder is now safe. Ne
one will lose one cent; every debt
owed by the company will be
paid and in a few years the
dream of Mr.. Schell and his
many friends will have been
realized and this country will be
a thousandfold better of for ic.
st. Landry is proud of the
lSchell Canal the largest of its
kind in the South; every true
and loyal son of the once empire
parish of Louisiana points to this
great enterprise with pride; no
other parish can show such a
splendid resource getter.
The canal will, by the fact
that the water which is used te
flood the rice land Is
brought from the Mississippi
river by means of the canal; en-
richen the farming lands of st.
Landry. There will be no need
Iof fertilizers there will be nc
need Of leaving the land barren
for a number of years, as is the
custom in other states and the
land will never deteriorate, nor
will it depreciate in its intrinsic
value. The farmers of st. Ian
dry never fear salt water, like
the less lucky rice planters o1
