GOOD ROADS.

Good roads have never been bet
ter illustrated than within the past
few weeks. While people about
town were going about whenever
they pleased. our friends from out
of town were cooped up within
their own domains, unable to get
about in many instances, save OH
foot. People living within four
miles of this town were forced to
use the train, and the use of auto
mobiles, jitneys, or other vehicles
at times were out of the question.
The contrast between the roads in
the roads in the country and the
streets in town was marked.
1t is not surprising therefore
that the people on the right des-
cending bank of the bayou in this
parish should aroused as they
have never been aroused before
over the question of good roads.
Heretofore they have had bad
roads, and seemed to content
themselves with their lot; but in
this day of the motor, nothing will
suffice but good roads. The roads
in Assumption are seen and envied
by all, and when they are compar
ed with the ordinary old dirt roads
people see and realize that money
spent on good roads is the best in
vestment for any community, espe-
cially is this the case out of town.
Our people are simply taken up
with the idea of good roads, and
are to be congratulated. - Thibo-
daux Commercial journal.

Louisiana To Fight Tick.
New Law Places Work Under
State Board -Reinfestation
of Clean Areas Prevented.

The permanent eradication of
the cattle tick in Louisiana now
seems assured as a result of the
passage by the State Legislature of
the State wide tick eradication
law. After April l, 1918, tick era
dication will be under the dlrec-
ton uf the Stale Live Stock SAM
tary Board, and the law provides
that such parishes as may be de-
signated by that board will be re-
quired to make adequate provision
for the construction of dipping
watts and the dipping of cattle for
ticks, and to continue such dip
plug until the ticks are entirely
elimated.
While the law will not be enfor-
ced until April l, 1918, the Fede-
raj authorities urge the wisdom OF
making provision now III the diff
ferent parishes for the construction
of watts and for the necessary che
micals for the baths:
As an indication that the people
of Louisiana are not inclined tC
wait until 1918 before taking NJ
tick eradication, Federal agents
state that active work is now be
ing conducted in nine parishes
with the result that during thu
month of June parish, State, ant
Federal employees supervised
243,90S dippings of cattle to ri
them of ticks. The Federal au
thorities believe that a large num-
Der of square miles will be addes
to the tick-free area i'll Louisiana

the Enid-Big Four is progressing
very nicely. A cross cut is being
driven from the breast of the tun-

though twenty-five feet have been
driven no foot wall is in sight.
The entire length of this cross-cut
shows vein matter heavily miner
allied, that assays from 81 to 81
per ton.
The breast of the tunnel shows
a good looking streak of quartz
with small feeders of solid ore run
ming through. The tunnel is now
about 200 feet in length and about
125 feet below the surface at the
breast.
Manager A. J. Crosson expects
to find his best ore on the foot.
He has plenty of ore and if it will
increase very little more in value
he has sure winner.
