SMOOTH ROAD
 ID GLENDALE
New Stretch of State High way Running Northwest from Capital is One of the Best Roads in the Valley

Seven miles of improved state high way will be added to the smooth road | ways of the valley this week, when rOad-Work on the Phoenix Glendale | section will be suspended. Although not entirely completed, work on the stretch from the capital city to the Su- gar City has been carried as far as it
 | is possible to go until additional funds are available.
 Four miles of highclass gravel road have been constructed, together with a half-mle of new caliche road, since the work of hauling gravel began last fall In addition substantial concrete cul- verts have been built. and bridges in stalled and two and one half miles of caliche road north of the fair grounds repaired, making a fast 1S-foot road way from the city limits to the town of Glendale
 ''The new road is already carrying as heavy traffic as it can stand said State Engineer Lamar Cobb under whose direction the work was done" and it will be necessary to take further steps to protect the surface against the wearing of the hundreds of auto mobiles that pass over it daily. A gravel road of this type is the most in- expensive that we could build and if we oil it next summer, it will answer the purpose admirably
 The work, which was carried out without interfering with traffic at any time will cost when completed $25, ,000 At present the traffic over the road amounts to between 300 and 300 cars per day. It is planned to forther re- inforce the surface with a dressing of oil next summer. Work on the road between November l and in spite of the rains which greatly delayed the work, and at one time threatened the stretch under construction, the new road was
 compiled in practically four months time.

! equal the Pennsylvania in armament.
 Each is designed to carry eight 15-inch ! guns.
 I Details of four other British battle
 ships, already authorized, are not known here officially
 l Five ships of the Japanese navy, es- l timated for in 1914 and known as the Peso class. will not equal the Pennsyl- vania in tonnage with their displace- | ment of 30.000 tons, but will carry the l same main battery of twelve 14-inch | rifles. They will exceed the Pennsyl-
 vania in speed, estimates calling for p knots against 21 knots for the Penn l sylvania.
 The 1914 estimates for the German | navy call for three ships of the Kaiser | Friedrich III class, with a displacement of 29,000 tons and carrying eight 15- inch rifles.
 The British ships of the Queen Elez- abeth class greatly exceed those of any other navy in speed, requirements cal | ling for 25 knots an hour while the roy al sovereign class will make at least 22.5 knots.
 Since the outbreak of the war de- tails as to foreign naval programs have been jealously guarded and it is prob able that Great Britain, Germany and France have laid down many vessels of which no report has been made. So far as is known, however, no vessels have been planned which will exceed | in size the three American ships of the California class, work on which has barely started.
 These will have a displacement of 22,OO0 tons each and armament equal | to that of the Pennsylvania. The cruising radius of the Pennsyl- yania will betconsiderably increased by the fact that she will be equipped for oil fuel exclusively and will have a ca pacity of 2,322 tons of fuel oil. The Queen Elizabeth has a capacity of 4,000 tons of oil because of her high speed requirements.
 From her enormous main battery the Pennsylvania will be able to hurl, with the pressure of a single firing lever, 7H tons of steel on either broadsde. In addition she will carry a secondary battery of twenty-tWo 5-inch rifles for defense against torpedo boats. She will be fitted also with four submerged 21- inch torpedo tubes and her ships com pany will be composed of 65 officers, S63 blucjackets and "A marines. The ship measures eos feet over all and 97 feet beam and her mean draft Is 2S feet. 10 inches, almost the limit in size for the Panama canal and present navy dry docks. There are only few docks in the world which can receive her and she could not enter many busy harbors except under most favorable conditions Of tide and wind.

Interest grows apace in the recital to be given by the Misses Fuller at the Woman's Club on Monday night The reputation of these artists is such that their engagement is the most important event in musical af- falrs of the past two seasons. An idea seems to have been formed that the number of tickets which any one person may purchase is limited this is not the case; but the seating capa- city of the hall has been limited and the demand for tickets is such that those desiring seats had better secure them early.

NEW YORK, March 16-There was moderate readjustment of quoted val ues today, though the market was somewhat unsettled in the early deal ings on heavy selling of Reading, and accompanying unfavorable dividend rumors. The Reading boards meets tomorrow for action on the dividend. and as the earnings for the first seven months of the fiscal year has been unsatisfactory, fears are enter tained a cut in the present rate will result. Most of the automobile shares were under pressure. Amalgamated and National Lead, were offered at concessions. Bethelehem steel ad- vanced almost two points to 57M, a new high record. United States Steel was relatively firm.

Enterprise appeared a commun-
lcatlon in regards to the grading
of the road along the Commercial
Canal. thoroughly agree with
the writer, and would suggest that
at the earliest opportunity steps be
taken looking to that end. The
amount of earth that has been
removed in the digging OF the
canal affords material that will
make d model road, and with lit
tie cost. It's only a matter OF
throwing the earth over Il short
distance and trading the road so
that it could be used and | am
sure the cost would be of little
consequence compared to the ben

pie along the route. If Que will

The sudden death of District
Attorney Muller which occurred
at New Orleans on Saturday nj ght
last at 1870 was indeed one of
the greatest shocks the people of
this Parish have ever had. Mr..
Muller only two days previous to
his death, in speaking to friends
said that he had never felt better
in his life, and on that very day
departed for New Orleans where
he was being treated by spec
ialist for some ailment he had
been troubled with for years. He
was undoubtedly one of the most
popular citizens in public life in
the Parishes of Iberia and ST..
Martin and to know him was to
be his friend.
Born in iberia Parish on August
5th. 1871, Anthony N. Muller.
after graduating in the local
schools. entered St. Charles Col
lege at Grand Coteau, graduating
there three years later with the
degree of B. A. He entered Tu-
lane as law student, and in 1893
was admitted to the bar, entering
upon his legal career in New he
ria. He rapidly forged to the
front, attaining almost instant
recognition as a criminal lawyer
When war was declared in 1898
against Spain, Captain Muller was
at the head of Company c of the
First Louisiana Infantry regiment
and was. with his company, mus
tered into the United States SER
vice on May 10 of that year
When peace was declared and the
private soldiers to a man clamored
to be discharged and sent home
rather than be sent to Cuba as
an inactive army Of occupation.
Captain Muller took the part Of
privates and non-commissioned Of
ficers and together with Senator
Broussard, finally secured the
mastering out of the First Louis
lana, and for his services he was
presented with handsome token
Of appreciation by the private
