BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS,

0'1 HAtIHOAU IMPROVEMENTS
II. B. Helm announced Wednesda,
that the Louisiana Railway and Navi
cation Company is carrying out one O
the biggest campaigns of development
Iand improvement in the history of the
. railroad.
The tracks south of Shreveport and
south OF Alexandria, Mr.. Helm said
are being repaired and reballasted, and
in many places heavier rails are being
put down. Two steam shovels are at
work and ballast trains are moving
continuously from place to place ON
the line depositing filling.
On five miles of the track entire new
steel rails have been installed and a
new steel and concrete bridge over the
Tunica bayou has just been completed.
In the Tunica hills, a ten-foot concrete
arch was built to take the place of an
old wooden trestle.
Much work of repair and renovation
lis being done on the company's new
sheds and warehouses along the new
basin in New Orleans, and in the out
bound warehouse concrete floors are
being laid.
The Louisiana Railway and Naviga-
ton Company, as Mr.. Helm said, was
one of the few railroads that did not
inaugurate the policy of cutting it's
force as result of the depression of
business following the war. 1t was
Mr.. Edenborns policy to take care of
all the employees, though times were
dull and instead of cutting down the
force, more men were employed on
special work
1t is now planned to do more extern
sive repair work in the shops at
Shreveport and Mr.. Helm said the
whole system was being put into ex-
cellent condition. Three new loco
motives ordered some time ago have
been received, and two of them have
been placed in service. The locomotives
are Of the big ten-wheel type, very
and capable of high speed.
Mr.. Helm lays stress on the record
made by the fast passenger train of
The Louisiana Railway and Navigation
company in the run from Shreveport
% New Orleans. Since the new time
card went into effect, April IA, the :
rain has been late in arriving in New
orleans only four times.-Times-P Plea

Bills are posted in all prominent
places throughout the Richland dis
trict announcing mammoth auction
sale at the Frank Price ranch on
Wednesday, November 3rd. This is
by far the biggest sale held in this
vicinity in years and it is expected
that a large crowd will attend. M. p.
Davidson, of Richland, will cry the
sale and as there are large num-
Der of fine cows and horses as well
as several mules and other livestock
it is a good chance for any farmer
who wishes to increase his herd of
milk cows or buy good horse to get
Just what he wants at fair price.
A free lunch will be served at noon
as the sale will undoubtedly last all
day. -.-.
Word has been received by members
of the local Odd Fellows lodge to the
ecect that the Sequel Male Quartet
which gave such delightful enter
tainment here a few weeks ago, would
be glad to entertain proposition for
return engagement some time in
December. 1t is sincerely hoped that
this can be arranged as it is seldom
that a community the size Of Richland
has an opportunity to hear singers of
national reputation as were the MEM
bers of this quartet. They will render
selections from their repertoire en-
tirely different from those given on
their last appearance here so that any
one who had the pleasure of attend
ing the last concert can go to this
one and feel sure that there will be no
repitions.

BUZZ BUGGY BURNS

Otis Allen had the great misfortune
Sunday to see his two-seated runa-
bout completely destroyed by fire.
The only part of the car left intact
was the metal framework, all the rest
being total loss.
Mr.. Allen had stopped to get sup
ply of gasoline in front Of the Bier
Hardware Co.. and it is thought that
in filing the tank some of the gasoline
had run over on the exhaust so that
when the engine was started the heat
caused the gasoline to ignite. Fire
extinguishers were used without avail
and when water was poured on the
blaze it only seemed to aggravate the
fire and when it was seen that nothing
could be done to save the car, Mr..
Allen and his friends had to simply
stand back and see the little "buzz
wagon" go up in smoke.
Everybody sympathizes with Mr..
Allen in his loss as he is one OF those
liberal-minded young fellows who was
always more than willing to give
a friend less well favored with this
worlds goods a free ride whenever
he could and here's hoping that new
car will soon occupy the Allen garage.
