OWN SCOUT.

OWN SCOUT.
Capt. J. Tillinghurst Huston. half
owner and secretary OF the New
York Yankees. has set a pace that
few major league magnates will
have pep enough 10 follow. Huston
has turned scout, and his first ad-
venture In ivory hunting now seems
to have been a dandy.
II was the new magnate who
slipped away to Indianapolis last
week and purchased Ray Triple,
American association pitching star.
just after Garry Hermann. Of the
Cincy Reds. had announced that his
club has been assured the services
Of the youngster for next year.
Huston says that he found Indian
apolis full OF scouts after the
moundsman but that he succeeded
In making the purchase for the fair
ly small sum OF $1,000. Triple has
. record OF something like a dozen
games won and q couple lost for
the early part Of the major minor
season.

Chicago, April 7.-Returns from
1,4OO precints out of 1865, indicate
that William Hale Thompson, Re.
publican, was elected mayor Of
Chicago Tuesday by 10000 plurality
over Robert NJ. Sweitzer, Democrat
Other city offices we're won by
Republicans by about $4,000 plurali-
ty, and the city council is probably
Republican for the first time in five
yearsA
Women's votes were divided be-
tween the candidates in about the
same proportion as the mems.
Throughout the campaign the
Thompson managers based many
of their arguments to voters on the
assertion that business and labor
conditions throughout the country
presaged a Republican victory.
About IS per cent, Or three-qudr-
tiers of a million votes registered
were cast. According to election
officials, this set record
Some wards hitherto considered
strongly Democratic were carried by
the Republicans, and Sweiter's own
precinct was carried by Thompson.

The Elopement of Ellen which
was presented at the Magic City
theater on Tuesday evening was
greatly enjoyed by a crowd that
taxed the capacity Of this popular
play house. Every member of the
cast acquitted themselves with con-
siderable credit. The production
was given under the auspices of the
Ladies Episcopal Guild and netted a
nice profit. It is to be hoped that
several such entertainments will be
given during the present year.

CONDITIONS IN OZONE BELT

While spring has been somewhat
late in arriving and therefore the
building operations in the North and
East have been delayed a little, it
would appear from the amount of
lumber moving in those directions
that considerable construction work
is going on.
The Bogalusa mill is continuing
to operate day and night to supply
the increasing demand for yellow
pine, and it is reported that the
prices received are quite satisfactory
having advanced at least one dollar
per thousand feet since the first of
the year. This advance in price
has made it possible for practically
all the mills in the Ozone Belt to
resume operation, giving a large
number of idle men employment,
which in turn has made a market
for the produce of the farmer and
the goods of the merchant; so that
business throughout this whole Sec
ton IS in 4 very prosperous and
healthy condition.

CLEAN Up. WEEK
A BIC SUCCESS
Every One Interested In
Making BoSalusa Most
Sanitary City
THREE DAYS MORE REMAIN
When 1t Is Expected That
No Rubbish Will BE
Found In City
THREE DAYS MORE REMAIN

The Clean Up Week" which be-
gan last Monday and will continue
until Saturday evening can already
be called a big success. While three
days remain for the property owners
to remove all garbage, rubbish ETC.,
apparently there remains little to
be removed. From all parts Of the
city comes reports that back yards,
vacant lots, alleys and streets are
being placed in perfect sanitary
condition while many have already
started work on identifying their
yards. In the negro sections of the
city it is stated the residents began
work last week and most of the
rubbish was awaiting the teams
Monday and Tuesday. The CO.
operation given by all citizens, to
the officials deserve hearty COM
mendation and will result in Boga-
lusa being the most sanitary city in
the state of Louisiana Saturday
evening.
If there .'should be a few people
in Bogalusa who have not placed
their property in conditions as called
for by the health department you
had better get busy for next week
and inspection will begin and the
expenses of the removal of the col
lection will be at your expense.
The committee appointed have
been busy each day and there are
said to be much competition for
the prizes offered by the Enterprise
for the cleanist back yards.
The rewards will be announced
in next weeks issue of the Enter
prise. "

number of taxpayers we're present
to see tine Parish Fathers conduct a
busy session.
Brickbats and bouquets came

asked for suggestions but all the
criticisms were given in a friendly
spirit and accepted as such. One
of the topics Of discussion was re-

any taxpayer could attend, a mem
Der of the jury, so it is reported,
stated that no meetings had been
conducted behind closed doors but
that perhaps some committee meet
ings might have been. 1t has been
decided in the future that all the
meetings will be held so that the
public can attend.
A number of Bogalusa Officials
were in attendance to try and reach
an agreement with the jury regard
ing the salary for Constable King.
A committee has been appointed to
meet with the Commission Council
of this city to settle this matter at
an early date.
H. J. Cowgirl appeared before the
Jury trying to get a settlement for
approximately $4,000 which is due
for the construction of a bridge. No
definite action was taken.
1t was decided to ask for bids
for the construction of a bridge across
Bogue Lusa Creek, on what is known
as the $4,000 road.
A Parish Board of Health was
established and DR.. LuciuS Brock, of
Mt Herman, was appointed Presi-
dent, while J. W. Knight of the fifth
ward and Ruben H. Springs of the
first ward were elected to serve on
the Board.
1t was decided to present to the
taxpayers of the parish, through
the newspapers, a recapitulation of
the affairs of the parish for the past
three years. This statement will
appear at an early date.
Much routine business was dis
posed of; the finances of the parish
we're discussed and this meeting
will 60 down in the history as one
of the most interesting meetings
held for many months.

1t has been accomplished and
Jack Johnson is no longer the fistic
heavyweight champion of the
World. Jess Willard, the cowboy
accomplished the act in the twenty
sixth round of a scheduled As round
bout at Havana Monday afternoon
1t was Johnsons fight for 20 rounds
when he begun to be less powerful
until he seemed unable or unwilling
to 90 on.
In the Is round Willard landed a
terrific blow to Johnsons heart and
this was the beginning of the end. AT
the close OF this round johnson sent
word to his wife that he was all in
and for her to start for home. She
was OH ner way out IN the ZOtn
round and passing the ring when
Willard let 90 singing left to the
body and a cyclonic right to the
jaw which caused the champion to
crumple on the floor while he was
counted out.
The concensus Of opinion is that
johnson knew there was no posi-
bility of his winning and so when
knocked down he chose to take the
count. A second or two after he
was counted out johnson arose,
without assistance.
johnson announces that he will
return to France and spend his
time in farming. Willard is said to
have a contract for $4,000 a year
with a syndicate.
