structiOn, are annexed to this report

We are of the opinion that the con-
struction Of this railroad bed and its
use free of taxation, if the constitu-
ton permits) would enlist the support
of some existing railroad corporation
to equip and operate it on long time
lease. Under existing worldwide fl
nancial conditions, we believe the So
luton of the problem is to employ the
available convict labor of the state
steadily upon the proposed railroad
bed over few years, thus distribut-
ing its cost over a period which would
infiict no hardship upon our fellow
taxpayers. Competent contractors adj
wise us that the employment of convict
labor will cut the cost of construction
from 10 to 10 per cent, after allowing
the usual compensation to the convicts.
The expense of the special session
need not be great. The customary
army of legislative attaches can be
dispensed with, and the assembled
solons, having no political differences
to thresh out, can, in a few days, in
augurate policy of constructive
craftsmanship which will write the
most important chapter in the history
of the state of Idaho and be Of meal
culable benefit TO the commonwealth,
its people and posterity.

NEW PARISH JOINS
WITH ST. LANDRY
People and Politicians Of Evangeine, Irrespective Of Fac
tional Alignment Demand That A Change
Be Made In Judicial Officers

amiss to remark that the people OF
the new parish are but yoicing the
sentiments, in this instanc, of those
of the peoplesof st. Landry. In other
words, Evangeline has joined hands
with st. Landry to bring about a
change in the two judicial offices.
The sentiments this expressed are
echoed from every section of St.
Landry as well, and all that we
hear is not SO much the political
strength Of Sandoz and Lewis as the
political weakness of Pavy and Gar
land.
It is claimed that much of this
call for a change is oceasioned by
the fact that long tenure of office
is undemocratie and if a change is
desirable now is the time. Mr.. Gar
land has held the position of dis
trict attorney for twenty years
five full terms Of four years each;
while Judge Pavy has been on the
bench some six years, filling a vac

ancy caused by the death of Judge
perrault.. Notwithstanding their Wig
orous activity in the parish cam
paign in 1912 they. were renominat-
ed without opposition in the fall
election, thus being given their res
pective offices without the necessity
of entering a heated campaign for
same. AS matter of fact, Mr.. Gar
land has been unmolested, political
ly speaking, for the past eight years.
The people of both parishes rec
ognize that the incumbents have
had sufficient recognition and that
if for no other reason it is time to
give some other aspirants a chance
to hold office. Consequently the
voters of st. Landry and Evange-
line are lining up unsolicited be-
hind the candidates. of Sandoz and
Lewis and their election on Septem-
Der 12 is assured; and that, toe, by
a comfortable majority.

The recent announcement OF the
candidates. Of Peyton R. Sandoz Tor
district judge and John w. Lewis
for district attorney, according to
reports at hand, have ELECTED fav-
orable response from every Sec
ton of Evangeline parish. Irrespect-
i've of former factional alignment,
the people are loud in their de-
mands for tae defeat of the incum-
bents Of the two offices mentioned.
These reports from the new par
ish indicate that the demand is a
loud one, not confined to any par
ticular faction. Wherever the sup
porters of Messrs. Sandoz and Lewis
go they find the same sentiment

to the candidates. of the two Opel.

new modern up-to-date brick
huilding will soon grace Landry
street, the principal city thorough
fare. Jacobs News Depot Company
recently let out contract to Thurs
ION Mckinney, local contractor,
for the erection of single story
brick building on its lots between
Shutes Drugstore and the Veazie
building.
Work on the building, which will
cost upwards of $4,000 will be start
ed just as soon as material arrives;
the Nolan arcade and the building
occupied by White. The Tailor, will
be demolished right away.
Aaron Jacobs, progressive and
thrifty manager of the Jacobs News
Depot Company, for sometime past
has been figuring on erecting a
building on the valuable lot owned
by his company and was fully de-
cided to keep abreast of the times.
The new building on Landry
street will make the south side of
East Landry more citifed than
ever; there will be only three old
buildings on the block and it is ex-
pected that those will in the near
future be torn dofn to be- replaced
by modern and up-to-date build

Mr. Jacobs announced during the
week that he would divide his
building into two stores, one por-
tion will be occupied by the conf
pany and the other has already
been leased for the next five years

THE INTELLIGENT MANAGE
MENT OF A PUBLIC
INDUSTRY

The interest of people in public
affairs is considerably heightened
when they learn that the revenues
of the government are wisely and
iudiciously managed. A statement
of economical expenditure which is
susceptible of proof will always at
tract attention and please the
thoughtful reader.
Among the varied industrial en-
terprises of the post office depart
ment in Washington is an estah-
Hshment devoted entirely to the
manufacture Of mail locks and the
bag attachments used in mail trans
portation. When this adminis-
tration came into power, the de-
partment sorely needed an inn
proved type of mail lock- The shop
was Immediately reorganized, plae-
Led on a business basis, and its ac-
tlylties enlarged SO as to meet this
imperative demand Within a very
short time new and greatly inn
| proved lock had been devised and
its production begun.
The lock in use weighed 5 1-2
ounces; the new one weighs 2 4-5
ounces. AS 100000 of this new
| product have been put into service,
the difference in weight (the gov
ernment paying as much for the
| weight of equipment as it does for
the mail itself can be easily CAL
culated. The locks replaced by this
new and better style cost a cents
each to make, those now being man.
ufactured cost 8 i-2 cents, direct
and the indirect charges considered,
the saving thus show on original
cost Of production to date amount
ing to s53, $50. Of the old style, &c.
900 We're annually returned for re-
pair at cost of about cents
each. Of the new style, out of the
great number sent into service, but
906 have been returned, and as these
aew style locks can be repaired at
a cost OF 3 cents each, the annual
saving on this item will amount to
over S2,f00.
The department has in this ad-
ministration encouraged its en-
ployees to give their best service
to the government and many in
stances have recently come to no.
tice wherein the department has
| crafty profited by this wise public
policy. In the lock shop a recent
] achievement in this direction is an
improved cord fastener, the work OF
three of its employees, for use on
bags; also one designed for locking
large quantities of parcel post
! post matter, which has heretofore
been without this protection. Il
can be made at a very low price,
! requiring less material and fewer
number of operations. The signiff-
cant part of this lies in the great
number required in the service, be-
tween three and four millions, the
output being 100000 annually. As
! the cost has been reduced by the
new method from 4 i-2 to 8 cents
each, it will be seen what splendie
showing this makes for admins
trative econory.
i Another valuable improvement
| has been the perfecting lockine
! cord fastener designed for rse or

I partment for years has needed ane

JUDGE DUPRE RENDERS AN AG-
COUNT OF HIS STEWARDSHIP

Opelousas, La, July I, 1910.
To the people Of the parish of st.
. Landry:
I promised you if I went to the
Legislature to look after your in
terests the best | knew how and !
believe I have done SO. fought
salary raisers from start to finish.
I All Of them looked alike to me.
Whether it had reference to a
Justice Of the Supreme Court, or q
Justice of the Peace, it was the
same to me. Ny remedy for these
underpaid officials is their resigla-
ton. This is. never forthcoming.
The Legislature only succeeded in
raising two salaries. That of Mr..
Wilson, Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture, and that of the Judges Of the
Civil District Court.
fought the first measure bitterly
and it received only sixty votes.
Had the backing Of the Committee
of Agriculture and was sent to final
passage with one hundred and
twelve members present. Had there
been las is usually the case1 from
/, ten to twenty absentees, he would
have lost out.
The administration bill for q "a
of a mill tax was up for passage
that day and Mr.. Wilson's sup
porters taking advantage OF this,
put him through first. He is not
going to ontlive this.
The Judges in New Orleans won
out by reason of the twenty-four
votes from that city, their allies,
and number of country voters
who content themselves with say
ing: "This is a New Orleans meas
