DR, COLE AND FAMILY LEAVE
LOCATE IN NEW ORLEANS

DR.. H. C. Cole, for eight years
Chief Surgeon of the Bogalusa Hos
pital, and who several days ago
severed his connections with that in
stitution, left with his family Satur-
day afternoon for New Orleans
where he will be located. The de-
parture of Dr.. Cole and family from
Boealusa is probably regretted as
much as the loss Of any citizens
since Bogalusa was founded. Be-
sides having an office in New Or
leans where he will specialize in
surgical practice he will also be on
the staff at the Touro lnfirmory and
Charity hospital. The many friends
of the family wish them success
and happiness in their new location

One Hit

Bogalusa fans were given the
classiest game of baseball that has
been played on the local grounds
for several seasons Sunday after.
noon. and to say that the game re-
sembled a professional one would
be an injustice to the members Of
both teams because professionals
rarely play as good ball as was
played Sunday. The game was be-.
tween the fast Bogalusa team aDd
the Eberhardts, a semi professional
team of New Orleans. who have
played here on previous occasions
The final score was / to 0 in favor
of the locals. That does not begin
to tell the story for the visitors did
not make a hit off of IvanS until
the ninth inning. He was in per.
feet form and received almost per-
feet support, only one error being
charged to the Bogalusa team.
Ivans had eleven strike outs to his
credit while TreGchard, of the Eber-
hardts, struck out only 6. The 10
Gals made seven hits but all were
scattered and the only score made
during the game was by Stapleton
who walked to first and advanced
to second on DoydS sacrifice and
then stole third and reached home
on an error.
Underwood, of the locals, made
the sensational play of the game
running with his back to tht
ball caught a hard one il

Good playing was so common
during the game that the fans be
came so accustomed to the goot
playing that they forgot to cheer.

RET|RES FROM BUSINESS
H. j. Cowgirl To Devote
All Time To Lumber
Business Hereafter

The Bogalusa Mill Supply Co.. for
six years one of the leading firms
Of the city and having several ex.
elusive lines of articles usually
handled by hardware and mill
supply stores, is retiring from bust
ness due to the sharp advance in
the prices of many articles, inability
to secure several articles at any
price, and in order that MI. Cow
gill can devote his entire time to
the lumber business. Most of the
stock has been purchased by local
merchants and contractors and the
remainder will find ready sale,
The remarkable improvement of
the lumber industry connected with
the fact that Mr.. Cowgirl owns a
mill and is known as one of the
best lumbermen in this section
means that he will remain in the
city.
The building which the Mill Sup.
ply have occupied is undergoing
several changes and improvements
and it is rumored that one of the
leading firms of the city will occu
py the building.

system Of teaching now in effect i'll

Many of the prominent Japanese
educators are now compiling special
text books fer. use in the Japanese
schools, and in the future Japa-

Among the japanese interested in
planning for a new system are: r..
Mashimo, PRINCIPAL Of Makiki Japa-
nese school; S. Moriyama, principal Of
the Japanese Central Institute; r.

Charles r. Forbes on his trip to Ha-
waii, Forbes and members of the
public utilities commission returned
this morning on the kilauea. r..
Forbes says work of this kind on
the part of the Hilo board would not
be surprising as they are making great
strides and accomplishing much in
road work :.. =. Ill.
They are certainly putting their
souls into their work" comments the
superintendent, from one part of the
island 10 the other One of the things
noticed esret laiy t.i5 t.na Nas the
system of electI., lights which they
have installed in the country villages
to light the streets The people of
the island appreciate this very much"
Forbes comments on the fact that
the HOn-uSe of Kuhio wharf by many
steamers is very. noticeable. The
steamship companies do not want to
go there, he says, for reasons which
they will not disclose. .:>- r.,
Walolama swamp is filling rapidly
under the contractors. and pumping
is going on all the time. Homestead
road work is moving along fine with
the one exception of Chin Chuck road,
where there seems to be some dispute
over ownership of land, he says. ~
The superintendent smiled at the
question of what happened over the
Waiakea road question. Nothing hap
pened, he says, the people over
there simply want to build a S30, 900
road and they haven't the money avail
able. The land commissioner will
have only $4,000 for the job" .. ..
For the public utilize work the
commission investigated the Maui
Telephone Company, the Island Elec.

Compan on Maui. In addition to this
Forbes inspected homestead roads and
"harves on the Valley Island. T.. -. !.
On Hawaii the Hawaii Telephone
Company, the Kohala Telephone Com.
Fany and the McDCugaIl Electric Light
plant at Kohala were investigated.
These hearings all moved along in a
satisfactory manner and decisions vail
be given out as soon as the transcript
has been gone over, and the auditor
OF the commission renders his opinion.
Speaking of the volcano, Forbes
says that the light of it could be seen
plainly last night from Lahaina, the
sky in the direction of Hawaii being
lighted over great area. .@@ =. /.

WILDERL.OOSE:S
ACCUSATIONS IN
governor Fight

Former Judge A. A. Wilder IS carry
ing his fight against Governor Pink
ham to Washington again, according
to interviews he appears to have given
San Francisco papers en- arrival there
on May 9. .... -.
The following from the San Fran.
cisco Call is typical of the articles:
Judge A. A. Wilder, former SUI
preme justice Of Hawaii, arrived to-:
day on the liner Matsonia from Homo
lulu on his way to Washington, he
said, to prefer charges against Gov
ernor Lucius E. Pinkham Of Hawaii.
Judge Wilder. who went to Washing
ton in connection with this matter
six months ago, said he would see Sec.
Rotary of the Interior Lane and Presi-
dent Wilson.
"He accuses Pinkham of misappro-
priating funds and says grand jury
action on similar charges has been
halted for lack OF funds.
Last year law was passed appro-
priating $4,000 annually for the care
of INDECENT foreigners. Wilder says
Pinkham gave this, in part, to Fill
Pine members of the National Guard,
who were not INDECENT. 49,. -
"He also declares Finkham is dila-
tory, his lack of decision hampering
business interests" "
