Good Roads the Concern of All.

Editor Collar Chronicle:
AS there seems to be a boom
all over the country for road i'm.
provement, / will give you my
idea of ways and means for road
improvement in Grant parish.
| suggest that all the wards OF
the parish that have not already
done so provide funds to keep up
their local roads by voting some
time during this year a five mills
special tax for five years.
Also the parish at large should
vote an additional five mills for
five years for building model
roads. as follows:
1st-A road from Packton to a
point on the Colfax and Rochelle
road in section 81, township z
north, range 2 west, a distance
of Tx miles.
2nd-A road from New Verda
via Dry Prong to Pollock, a dis
lance of 1874 miles.
3rd-A road from Pollock to a
point on the Colfax and Rochelle
road in section 13, township 8
north. range west, a distance
of 10 miles.
4th-A road from Colfax to the
Rapides parish line at section 8,
township 5 north, range l east, a
distance of Is miles.
This gives us 66I miles in all,
figured on air lines. Add $50 for
necessary variations and it would
make about 70 miles in all. By
By the State adding one-third to
the amount derived from this tax
it would approximate $500 per
mile average.
This proposition would connect
every town in the parish, and
also give direct communication
with Alexandria on the south and

Ward Six Mass Meeting.


The mass meeting of the citi-
zens of ward six was called to
order by chairman w. M. Stew
art, and N. S. Roberts was elect
ed secretary.
Mr.. j. B. Roberts, attorney,
gave his views of drainage and
leveeing. Mr.. C. H. Teal adj
dressed the meeting, and said in
his address that the thing to do
was to fill all of the openings in
the L. R. IN. Railway and make
a levee at Shell Point; that this
. would keep the water off the
people on the east side of the L.
R. & N. road, and that there was
only two citizens on the west side
of the railroad.
The attention of Mr.. Teal was
called to the fact that there were
eightee or nineteen land owners
on the west side of the L. r. &
N. Co. tracks, saying nothing
about Natchitoches parish. There
are about sixty-four hundred
acres in Grant on the west side,
and about six or seven thousand
acres in Natchitoches parish that
the filling in would put under
water, and the east side of the
L. R. & N. would be protected
at the loss of the west side and
across Red river, while there is
not over three thousand acres on
the east side of the L. R. & N.
to be protected.
Mr.. Teal brought with him
from Colfax a resolution written
by him or some one at Colfax.
He read the resolution and asked
that all sign it, and there was no
move made to offer this resolu-
ton, no second, or no vote taken
whatsoever.
/. McMills addressed the meet
ing and said he was willing to
have a levee on the river front
or open up the fills which are in
Cane river and Doggy bayou, but
he bitterly opposed the PROPOSE
t.0fl<Nhich Mr.. Teal proposed.
Mr.. J.W~Q'Quinn addressed
the meeting covering the same
ground that Mr.. Teal covered.
Mr.. N. S. Roberts addressed
the meeting and said if we are
going to have a drainage district
for US to try to get the fills out
of the model road in Doggy bay
GU. and the fill in Cane river
about Natchitoches, and if we
are going to have a levee district
we ought to levee Shell Point
and come to the Dunn hill and
on the Nantachi bayou front to
the river and come come down
the river front to Doggy bayou.
He said to fill in the openings
that the L. r. & N. Co. has in
their track would do too little
good for all that it would Iinjure.
After we adjourned the reso-
luton was circulated and signed
by land owners and by non-land
owners. N. S. ROBERTS,
Secretary.

Hast Man" at Lion

The aim of the picture maker is to get into his product what the craft calls the punch" If he can get it into every reel he has a world beater. Most picture makers are content to get q punch in five reels, but nbw and then some scenario writer gets one over that has thrills by the score and the makers bill # as a picture with the punch" The Last Man." which closes two days engagement at the Lion today and tonight, has a punch in several of it's reels and the fact lifts it so far out of the rut of pictures as to particularly distinguish it.
 In the first place its story is a new one. It is true, founded upon the theme of an unfaithful wife, but that does not stamp it as a repeater for goes out to the Philippine Islands to try and forget the memory of the un- faithful one. His regiment encounters a tribe of savage bolo-men and he becomes the last man" and so distin- guishes himself that he is shuttled into the limelight and incidentally meets the real girl whose love heals the old wound.
 If action spelled all in picture this would be one of the greatest of all time for it is so fast one has to keep close tab to follow the story.

CA[IFORNA'S SOLUTION
 IF UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM

Edward J. Sullivan ono of tho deputies with the bureau of labor of the State of California, is a guest at the Hotel Adams.
 MrN Sullivan is a well known public speaker newspaper writer and con tributor to magazines. and has been a world wide traveller. He has made an exhaustive study of social, labor and economic conditions in his travels, and because Of his interest in the work, as well as his training and ability to deal with such intricate problems was especially chosen for the work which the free employment bureau demands. He was connected for several years with the United States diplomatic and consular service and rendered valuable service to this nation in foreign countries
 "l am here" said MT Sullivan in connection with some personal busi- ness interests and will remain a few days" Speaking of the state public employment bureaus he said: The State of California maintains four public employment bureaus in San francisco. Oakland. sacremento and Los Angeles. They are divided into
 four divisions as follows:' Com mercial division industrial division, household division, day workers divi- sion
 Each division is under the super vision of experts who in turn are di- rected by d superintendent. We con- tend. and rightfully so, that there is no sane reason why any man or woman who is able and willing to work should have to pay for the privilege of finding employment. and our experience has shown us that with few exceptions employers are opposed to such degrading conditions. We are now furnishing the the best firms in California and have sent a great many men to Arizona and New Mexico both skilled and unskilled labor of the highest class and which has evoked the strongest cOmmenda- = tiOn. Last year in. the State of Cali fOrnia $500. 900 was collected by the said agencies from people who could least afford to pay it. In Los An geles close on to S10000 was collect ed by them in 1915.
 During the last year 923 complaints were filed against the paid employ ment agencies and they were com pelled to bear. We propose to put an end to this state of things, and it IS entirely possible that the legislature which meets in January 1917 will leg islate to put paid employment agencies out Of existence. q want to say. and to emphasize it as strongly as l can, that the public employment bureaus are not charitable organizations. They are far removed from that Their purpose is 10 furnish efficient workers from ordinary day laborers to men and women for important executive positions, and efficiency is the stan dard We arc aspiring to.
