B0GALUSA MAY Be ON
THE JACKSON HIGHWAY
Route Through This City
POO Miles Shorter Than
Gulf Coast Country

Boealusa has a fine opportunity
of being one Of the cllies along the
Jackson highway, highway which
is to run from Nashville, Tenn, to
New Orleans and which is to be
built by the United States Govern
ment. This good news developed
at a meeting at the Pine Tree Inn
Saturday evening when a number
Of business and professional men
called on P. N Miner, president OF
the Louisiana Good Roads associa.
ton, who was enroute to Nashville
to attend the Jackson Military High
way Meetine The European war
has furnished evidence that this
country should have military high
ways and those interested in Good
Roads at once started to work to get
the Jackson highway, one OF the
most famous in the country to be
adopted as one of these military
highways and they have meet with
such success that it now appears
almost a question Of which route
will be accepted. There are two
routs offered one through the Gulf
Coast and the other via Columbia
and Boealusa. The route through
this City is 200 miles shorter than
the Gulf Coast route.
The meeting was a most interest
, linz one for Mr.. Miller told how the
Motor League in New Orleans had

COST OF GREAT WAR TO
DATE is S52, 2,5OO,OOO,OOO
REMARKABLE FIGURES GIVE COST
TO WARRING NATIONS
Actual Cost to Date Is Approximately
$19,500,0 900, 900, While Indirect Cost
Mounts to Higher Figure-Cost
to Allies Is $27,41O,00O,00O

LONDON, Oct. 4.-Chancellor of the
Exchequer McKenna's remarkable fig
ures of the cost of the war to England,
totalling $7,950,O00,0OO, are completely
eclipsed by a sensational estimate of
the cost of the world war put forward
by Edgar Crammond, one of England S
most noted statisticians.
His figures, he says, are most con-
servative and accurate, based on such
authorities as Henri Mason of Bel
GUM, Yves Guyot of France, Monsieur
BARREL of Russia, Won Renaul and Ris-
sier of Germany and the Austrian min
lister of defense.
He gives for the first year of war
the direct cost as $4,000, 100000, and
$4,000, 100000 the direct and indirect
cost to the belligerents.
In the same estimate the cost to
date is approximately 500,000,OO0
and the indirect $52,5O0, 100000. TAX
ing the countries seriatim, the cost is
as follows: Belgium, $2,450,OOO, 900;
France, $5,1S5,0OO,O00; Russia, $4,.
000, 100000; England, $6,300,000, 1000;
Germany. $13,S75, 100000; Austria, ST.
|510,O00,0OO.
Taking no account of Japan, Serbia
and Turkey, the total cost to the allies
is $27,410,000,00O, and to the central
empire $28,085,000,00O
Property losses are estimated las fol
lows: Belgium, $1,250,000,0 France,
$500, 100000; Russia, $2,500,000, 900;
Germany, $4,415,O 100000; Austria, $780,.
100000.
Germany's loss includes manufac
ture, $3,375, 100000, and agriculture,
1909, 100000.
The daily cost to the various bel
ligerents is given as follows: England,
$25, 100000; France, $12,500,000; Ger
many, $22,5OO,000; Russia, $12,500, 900;
Austria, $6,250,O00.
England's enormous wealth in in
vestments abroad is expected to great
ly outlast any effort at home or
abroad on the part of Germany.
But" says Guyot, Gin five years
this vast drain on the worlds finances
is calculated to put three-quarters OF
the world in pawn and leave the
United States as the only solvent ma
tion.''

STORM DEATH TOLL
OF 800 Is BELIEVED

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. Sit is be-
lieved that the total of 800 lives lost
will be the toll of the tropical storm
that swept Louisiana and Mississippi
last week. The known dead are 1870.
Two hundred have been reported as
among the victims, and 125 names
are listed among the missing.
Ninety crews of fishing schooners
figure as a notable part of those who
perished. New Orleans and it's en-
virons suffered a loss of twenty-five
lives. The fury of the storm fell par
ticularly upon the shipping along the
Mississippi river.
In the section of plantation land
about the river delta the havoc has
been complete. Whole crops are de-
stroyed, orange groves leveled, and
the buildings swept out to sea. Levees
were crumpled and washed away for
miles up the river.

of dyers to disregard, in great meas
ure, those time-honored vegetable
dyes, for centuries the only available
source of color, which still give their
charm and value to the choice prod
ucts of Oriental looms.
Dye Substitutes
The present "dyestuff famine" has
brought them again into prominence.
Not so easily applied as the aniline
dyes, they still have their special mer-
it's. AS result, the American works
engaged in the preparation of extracts
from the yellow oak of the Allie
ghenies, from the logwood of Jamaica,
from the redwood of Brazil, from the
cutch of India, are providing in enor-
nous amounts the substitutes of the
more brilliant, but more fugitive, hues
of the coal-tar products.

Of the domestic potash supply it is
stated that large amounts of the COM
pounds of this element are present in
the vast beds of kelp floating on the
WAVES VI Cl1O L CISll1C1 S1OOC W CAO WOOC-

year the waters of the Pacific coast

engaged in the campaign.
The bureau advises the business
men of the United States that the
present time is opportune for them to
study the Latin-American markets, to
get in touch with the people of the

for extensive business operations. In
other countries also there are unprece-
dented opportunities for the extension

period as creditor nation, we are in
a position, as never before, to invest
our capital in industries and develop

KIDDIES GET HOLIDAY
WHEN TEACHERS MEET

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.-School chill
dren just beginning to get over the
regrets that the summer vacation is
passed are now looking forward to
another holiday, the first week in No
vember, when all the public schools
in the city and county will be closed.
The holiday will be given so that the
teachers may attend the Teachers in
stitute and Teachers association con-
vention in San Diego.
Teachers in the counties of Los An
geles, Imperial, San Diego, Riverside,
San Bernardino and Orange will jour
ney to San Diego about 5000 strong.
1t will mark the first occasion in the
last twenty years on which the con.
vention has been held outside of Los
Angeles. The reason San Diego was
selected this year was owing to the
fair being held there.

WIRELESS TELEPHONE FROM
ARLINGTON TO HAWAII
SOUND TRAVELS 4,600 MILES
ACROSS LAND AND SEA
Service to All European Cities in the
Near Future Predicted-Anyone
Provided With Antenna
Might Listen In

WASHINGTON Oct. 5.-A wireless
telephone message has been sent from
the Atlantic seaboard to Hawaii by
the American Telephone and Tele,
graph company, a distance of 4,600
miles.
Following so closely the announce
ment that message had been sent
across the continent from Arlington,
Va, to Mare Island, Cal, the officials
of the company here declared that
still further announcements might be
expected from day to day.
That it will be possible to talk to
any part of Europe, to a ship at sea,
to a man in the trenches on the bat
tleield, or anywhere else, providing
the necessary apparatus is provided,
was frequently predicted.
The message sent from the Atlantic
coast to Hawaii crossed the United
States, by way of San Francisco, and
almost 1000 miles of the Pacific
ocean.
To give some idea of the distance
covered by the wireless message, be-
tween the Atlantic coast and Hawaii,
it might be said that it is greater than
the distance from New York to Lon
don, Paris, Berlin or Rome.
The human voice travelled over the
entire United States, distance of
more than $500 miles, before it en-
countered the more simple wireless
conditions which exist over large
bodies of water.
While the success of the expert
ments is of much Importance, as COM
munication between widely separated
points will be made possible, as well
as to provide communication where it
is difficult to provide wires, the pres
ent system will in no way be inter
fered with, according to telephone Off
cials.
Interference by atmospheric condi-
tions, and the fact that anyone pro-
vided with apparatus could listen in, .
telephone men say, will have tend
ency to prevent the wireless system
from being put into general use.
The receiving at Honolulu, it was
learned, was done on a small wireless
antenna, especially equipped for the
purpose by the engineers of the tele-
phone company.

ONLY FIFTY DEER SHOT
IN NATIONAL FOREST

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Sin the An
geles national forest, comprising ST.
125,000 acres of mountainous country,
approximately 400 deer were shot last
season. This year not more than fifty
deer were shot in the Angeles forest,
according to R. H. Charlton, super
visor.
This year two game refugees, cover
ing 100000 acre of the Angeles forest,
were created. Notices were posted
warning hunters against invading
these forbidden tracts.
Mr.. Charlton is convinced the bucks
know the difference between the pro-
tectedl and unprotected parts of the
forest, and evaded the nimrods this
year by keeping out of sight in the
refugees.
