The example of Caddo and De-
Soto was not lost upon Natchi-
tOches. Agitation in that parish
for the construction of its section
of the jefferson Highway became
insistent and resulted in all election
at which $250,O00 in bonds were
triumphantIy voted for this pur-
pose The Natchitoches link also
will be in use before the Jefferson
Highway IS completed throughout
its len tn and Natchitoches will
enjoy the benefits of a splendid
highway bisecting that parish.
Now comes Grant parish, which
proposes to vote bond issue of
$l50,000 to build the Grant parish
link in the Jefferson Highway,
connecting with the Nauchltoches
line and running through to the
R4pides section. Our advices
from CUlfax leave no doubt that
the people of Grant will vote over
whrlmingly in favor of the bond
issue and thus keep up the record
of progress on the Jefferson High
wav in Louisiana. From what
has been done by these four par
ishes in North Louisiana, there
no reason to doubt that the other
parishes south of them will take
up the work and that within a
very short time the Jefferson
will be an accomplished
fact SO far as Louisiana i, con-
cerned.-Shreveport Times.
