CHENEY STREET WILL
BE OPENED BY THE CITY
Residents Along Frisco Rail-
road Between Market and
r. r. Ave. to Get Relief

The residents along Frisco
railroad, between Market ST.
and Railroad Ave-, will be CIV
en- relief by the city fathers,
before many weeks, in the way
of a street.
Bloch street, running paral-
lei to the Frisco, will be closed,
and the stseet formerly known
as Cheney street, through
which the railroad runs, will
be re-opened, so as to give the
several residents along that
etreet an outlet.
The property owners of both
sides are perfectly willing to
have Bloch street closed, as
there is very little traffic car
ried on through that street, no
one living on it. Mr.. E. M.
Boagni is the largest property
owner in question and he was
the first one to assure the Ia
dies who have been working
with the view of securing the
re-opening of Cheney street,
that he was perfectly willing.
The council at its last meet
ing, appointed a committee to
attend to the matter and it is
very probable that at the next
meeting of the board of alder
men the residents along the
Frisco road will be told that
they will be given a street.

/ The parish fair will in al
probabilities be held at the Ole
ST. Landry High School, as il
is considered the most con.
venient place just at present;
the buildings will be used to
shelter the agricultural ex-
hibits, while the auditorium
will be used for speeches and
amusements arranged by the
executive committee.
It is thought that a football
game will be staged during the
fair, preferably on the last
day, between ST. Charles Col
lege and Lafayette. A spe-
cial train will likely be oper-
ated between Lafayette and
this city, SO that the college
boys from both schools can at
tend the game. Several other
athletic features will be Sc
cured to attract the visitors to
the fair grounds.
The board Of directors en-
powered President Littell to
appoint an executive commit
tee, composed of six, which
will have charge Of the fair.
This committee will appoint
subcommittee to attend to
the various departments.
A campaign will be started
to raise the money necessary
to reach he limit of the capi-
tai stock, which has been
placed at one housand dollars.
Every merchant and business
man, as well as the hanks and
bankers, are expected to con-
tribute literally to the fair as
sociation. In fact the farmers
expect a contribution from
every one.

COMMITTEE ON LIGHT
EXTENSION TO MEET
Washington Anxious to Be
Furnished Ligats from
Opelousas Plant

A joint committee composed
of members Of the Opelousas
and Washington town coun-
ellis, will meet in the near fu-
ture to talk over the probabil-
tiles of Opelousas furnishing
Washington with electric
lights.
It is understood that the cit
liens of Washington have been
desirous of having electric
lights, but due to the financial
conditions of the town, with
its limited population, the
thought of a municipal own
ed plant was given up by the
Washingtonians and their
hopes for electric lights were
turned towards the Opelousas
electric light plant.
Washington will probably
offer the Opelousas officials to
erect the lines, connecting the
two towns, if electricity is fur
nished the Courtableau town
residents.
As the Washington-O n-Opelou-
sas road, is one of the most
popular in the parish, several
of the most prominent farm
ers of this section residing
along this highway, it is ex-
pected that patrons can be
found among them.

Failure of officials Of
Jefferson parish to enforce the
state laws caused Gov. Hall
last Saturday to order bat
talon of Louisiana national
guard to raid a notorious gam
bling house in Southport, a
suburb of New Orleans. lc-
cording to a statement issued
by Governor Hall Saturday
night. Nearly one hundred
and fifty persons were arrest
ed, some as witnesses, others
accused of operating the Hy-
land gambling joint.
Governor Hall declared that
the parish officials had failed
to take any action against the
.laWless element, even though
repeatedly he had requested
that something be done. One
person arrested in the gam
bling house, the governor said,
was deputy sheriff of JEFF
ferson parish, who at The time

The raid was made by az
battery Of the Washington ar
tilIery, directed by Major Al

night before the New Orleans
soldiers departed for Anr1is-

an encampment. It was q

out in some mysterious way,
and warned the gamblers at
their play, the soldiers drag
net would have netted hum
dreds of prisoners, virtually all
of them from New Orleans.
There was no actual gam
bling going on when the troop
ers broke in, but the tables
were just as they were left,
Uttered with dice, and keno
cards, stacks of chips were
everywhere, and the slow turn
ing of the roulette wheel indi-
Gated that it had been recently
used. The bank was c:ashing
the chips at the time at the
of the entrance, and
continued paying off the gam
blers until placed under ar
rest by Captain Edtnunds.
All gamblers in the room
were lined up. There were
nearly one hundred and fifty
