Yours very truly,

Fire bells startled the commun-
ity Sunday morning about ele, en-
O'Clock and fortunately it was in
the day time or otherwise a SER
Sous confagration may have re
suited. A passerby noticed the
odor of something burning in
walking by the new opera house
and upon investigating. found that
the large case of plate glass Tor
the front of the building that was
packed in excelsior was on fire.
The alarm was given and by
prompt assistance, the fire was con-
trolled and no damage done ex-
cepting the loss of the one case
which amounted to between $3.50
and 5000 covered by insurance.
There is no clue to the origin of
the fire but the supposition is that
it was due to carelssness in throw
ing down a match or cigarette.
The alarm was sounded again on
Monday and for lack of assistance
the house occupied by Mrs. Dean
out in West Natchitoches was to-
tally destroyed. There was no in
surance on either house or con
tents.
And again on Tuesday night the
Ere tiend got in some work on DIR.
Gallons barn, the roof being
burned. but with prompt assist
ance the fire was controlled before
any further damage was done.
The lost amounts between $125
and $3.50, no insurance. and the
origin Of the FIRE unknown.

Geographically Grant is situated

her Just share of its cost. We are glad

We beg to state with unqualified

Stock Ordinance Wins.
IF at first you don't succeed
Try, try again.

IF at first you don't succeed
Try, try again"
Is one of the oldest of sayings
and the one that has been proven
true ottener than any.
For instance in the case of the
women of Natchitoches who have
been working indefatigably for the
past sixteen years for stock law
and after nearly reaching the goal
one time after the other, made the
last lap Monday night when they
passed the starting point after a
spirited race, easy winners.
There is no doubt that yeoman
service was rendered Monday and
everybody interested in the cause
did good work.
Some sixteen years ago a petit
ton was circulared by the Lesche
Club asking for a stock law and
getting the necessary number of
signatures, the city council granted
it but after only one months trial
repealed same. One attempt after
another was made again and again
to get the ordinance passed and
finally the couLcil was petitoned
for an election, when it was lost
by a small vote.
But the fight was kept up from
time to time and when the new COM
mlssioners wenS in, their first act
which proved their progressive
spirit, was the passing of a stock
ordinance but before it had time
to 90 into effect, the pros through
petition, forced a recall, and then
with grim determination stamped
upon their browS" the stock law
people went to work again a. d
got ar election called.
This election was held Monday
aud from early morn till dewey
eve, everybody worked even
! father, tho the greatest TART Of
the credit has been given to the
ladies when the result was in
favor of the stock law by a
vote of lat to 1870. Then the
victory was celebrated by a cow
DELL parade, automobiles filled with
ladies and gentlemen armed with
tinkling COW. bells circling the
town and making Rome howl with
their music.
The ordinance will 90 into effect
on October 1st, and then for a
city beautiful, as it comes just at
the right season for the planting
of trees and flowers and all nature
will not only be made to blossom
like a rose, but Natchitoches will
be a cleaner, more healthful city,
and the cows will give better.

The directors Of the Lehigh Valley
Transit Company. az their meeting In
Allentown for the purpose of declaring
the dividend on the preferred stock, took
no action on the accumulated dividends on
the stock, declaring only the regular rate
OF 4 per cent In some quarters II had
been expected that something toward the
payment Of the back dividends which now
amount TO 14h per cent. more than
100000 would be done.
There is an impression in TIE financial
district however. that some action look
ing toward the paying off Of the accumu-
lated dividends will be taken in the near
future. This Is strengthened by the fact
that substantial surplus is now being
earned the company's earnings being at
the rate Of about u per cent per annum

PARIS. April 22-Up to the present
the opening Of tho London market to
French stocks has not been Of much help
in the question of exchange, as sales In
London have been Insignificant ON the
other hand. tho assistance Of American
bankers in endeavors to regulate New
York exchange has been most enicacious.
There has not only been an Anglo.French
loan i'm America. but n syndicate Of Amer.
lean banks has opened three successive
credits for n syndicate of French banks
under the control of the Bank Of France
But II may he mistake to think
France car bring exchange down TO the
normal before the end of the war There
are only three ways 20 pay debts outside
our own borders-send merchandise
stocks or gold.
There is little chance for France TO In
crease exports during the war, while for
those possible for II TO continue making
there arc innumerable Government re-
strictons which are being added 30 daily
and thus force a decrease instead Of an
Increase.
The same remarks apply TO the sale Of
stocks-Governme regulations interfere
at every step.
IN regard TO the export of gold, that
VIC know has been continuous. especially
to London. Nevertheless the Bank Of
France is able TO keep up its stock OF
precious metal, and today we have further
proof of the banks strength in the fact
that the weekly statement shows an In
crease Of 100000 francs gold stock.
