THE PAPER MILL ASSURED

The best news this City has had
for years was given out when Mr..
NJ. w. Marsden, president of the
Sugar Cane By-Products Co.
reached New Iberia this week,
made a final inspection and closed
finally for the Gebert Shingle Co.
plant and tract of land located in
our City.
Work will be started imme-
diately in the establishment of a
paper pulp factory, the pulp to
be made from cane bagasse. And
now what bids fair to be the larg-
est industry ever established in
the history of New iberia, is as
sured. Hundreds Of thousands of
tons of bagasse can be secured in
this immediate section and with
easy rail and water Transports
ton. we can think Of no place to
compare to New Iberia for the To-
cation of such a plant, for we are
in the heart Of the great sugar
belt. Paper-making material is
scarce and now that splendid
paper can be made from bagasse
we feel that the success of Mr..
Marsden 8 efforts is assured.
Every citizen Of iberia should
feel justly proud of the acquisi-
ton Of such an industry. for the
erection and operation of such
plant as contemplated by the
Company. means employment of
hundreds of persons, and besides
it means the converting of what
is now an almost entire waste
product into one Of splendid,
commercial use.
Mr.. Marsden showed us sam
pie of the pulp that was made
from bagasse sent him this Spring
by Mr.. A. c. Bernard. secretary
of the Chamber Of Commerce,
and We have never seen better
pulp. His inventive mind has
solved at last the question of
making paper out of bagasse;
solved it successfully. and his dis
cOverv will be classed as one Of
the big constructive accomplish
ments of the age. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Marsden WIS.,
tied this CITY early in the Spring
this year and he was so impressed
that he decided the paper
making possibilities here were I'M
limited. He is more convinced
now than ever. Our people are
charmed with the gentleman and
every assistance will be given
him and his company. He is a
man of great experience and
sound Judgment and is an inven-
tive genius of national reputation.
To Mr.. Marsden, we extend a !
hearty welcome.
Along with him has come Mr.. !
D. Fl. Greene. his constructing en-
eineer and general manager. Mr.. |!
Greene will make his home with /
us and look after the interests of {
the Company. He is a man Of /
vast experience in this line of
work. and a man who thoroughly !
understands the business. Genial
and jovial. we congratulate our
selves on the acquisition of such
a citizen. All We ask is for Mr..
Marsden to send us more like him. !

Fever Breaks Out
Among American
Marines in Peking

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Picking, June 7.-Scarlet fever broke
out among the 200 American marines
stationed in Peking as guard at the
American legation. In an effort to
prevent the spread of the disease,
Colonel Neville, commandant of the
guard, ordered the men to move out
of the barracks and placed them I'M
der canvas, with only two men IN
each tent. The tents were pitched on
the recreation ground adjoining the
legation compound and outside the
compound wall, where all Chinese
could see them plainly. =.
Immediately rumor was circulated
that the American legation had
brought extra troops from the Philip
pines to protect foreigners against
possible rioting which might result
from the unsettled political condi-
tons and the financial stringency
brought about by the moratorium.
This rumor grew, and added to it
was a report that the Japanese were
also to bring in thousands of troops
from Tsingtau and Japan for the pro-
lection of foreigners.
These reports become so insistent
that the Chinese government issued a
formal denial explaining the reason
for the tented colony outside the
American legation compound.
Only five of the American marines
have the scarlet fever. These are
quarantined in a gun-shed on the city
wall adjoining the legation.

Mandate Of President
Ii Yuan Hung
When Takes Office

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Picking, July president Ii
Yuanhung's official mandate an
nouncing his assumption Of the presi-
dency in succession to Yuan Shi-Kai,
was simple and brief The full text
follows:
"Yuan-hung has assumed the office
of president on this, the seventh day
of the sixth month. Realizing his lack
of virtue, he is extremely solicitous
lest something may miscarry. His
single aim will be to adhere strictly
to law for the consolidation of the re-
public, and the moulding of the coun-
try into really constitutionally adj
ministered country. May all officials
and people act in sympathy with this
idea and with the united soul and
energy fulfill the part that is lacking
in him. This is his great hope.
THE present general situation is ex-
ceedingly precarious. Having just
shouldered the great burdens of the
state | need the assistance of others In
everything pertaining to administra-
tive measures. All civil and military
officials outside of Picking should,
therefore, remain at their posts and
assist in solving the present troubles.
Let no man shirk his duties in the
slightest degree.
THE republic was the child of the
revolution of the year of Hsin Hal.
The late great president, who sup
ported the republic and consolidated
the whole country. worked diligently
day and night planning for the coun-
try under great embarrassment.
Heaven has denied him longer age.
and he has left this world after illness.
The whole country mourns in sor-
row, as | succeed him with the diff
culties of our day. Respecting the
funeral and interment, the Kuo WI
Yuan shall instruct the officials in
charge of such matters carefully to ex-
anime the rites and regulations both
of China and foreign countries relat-
ing to the subject, and draft a suitable
program so that the sincere wish Of
the state to give full recognition to the
merits of the departed may thereby be
shown"

TRACK ELEVATION
PLAN is APPROVED
Belt Line Proposition to Go
Through Without Change
of Track Location.
FORMAL REPORT MONDAY

The CITY Planning board approved
the Belt line track elevation plan
without change of the present track
location. This plan carries with it
overhead track structures at Dodge,
Douglas and Farnam streets and
eliminates the Dodge street viaduct
scheme.
The city council will receive for
NAL report from the planning board
on Monday, and it is understood will
legalize the elevation plan through
necessary ordinances.
The Missouri Pacifi: Railway COM
pany, through Chief Engineer Head
ley. az 'eed to expend between $780,
900 and $4,000 on this Improvement,
start within thirty days and have
Dodge street clear by January !.
Spent Week on Plans.
The planning board spent nearly a
week going over several plans. E.
7. Goodridge, one of the boards ex-
perts, recommended removal OF the
railway companys right-of-way to
Forty-sixth street and carrying out a
track depression plan, which would
necessi,ate an expenditure OF approx
imately 100000 more than the eleva-
ton plan. If the Goodridge plan pre-
vailed, the city or property owners
would be required to pay the excess
OF the depression over the elevation
plan, inasmuch as the Missouri Pa
cific will only pay at this time Just
what is necessary for safety The
| plan adopted by the planning board is
practically the Missouri Pacific plan
with few notifications.
1t is agreed that fourteen-foot
clearance shall be established under
the tracksc at Dodge streets, and the
strength and appearance of the struc'
turc shall be approved by the plan
ming board. Temporary clearances
of thirteen feet will be placed al
Douglas and Farnam streets, subject
to widening when the company shall
finally establish the grade of its main
line tracks south of Farnam street
The grade crossing at Forty-eightf
and Leavenworth streets eventually
will be eliminated. The structures to
be placed over Douglas and Farnan
streets at this time will be known as
temperament and will be made per
manent when the Leavenworth street
situation shall be considered.
No Switch Tracks at Grades.
The planning board further stipu.
lated that when the main line track
shall have been ultimately establish
ed, there shall be no switch tracks al
grade crossings. The company wants
to maintain its switch tracks at Doug,
las and Farnam streets.
Chairman Morton Of the planning
board, addressing the city council
recommended the passage Of an ordi,
nance to provide for an industrial
zone to be bounded by Forty-sixth
street, Saddle Creek boulevard, Far.
nam and Cunning streets, outside Of
which no industries will be permitted
along the Belt line tracks.
The planning board will report that
it deems the proposed viaduct over
Dodge street inadvisable in view Of
the elevation plan, which will elimi-
nate grade crossings at three streets

TO GUARD AGAINST
ANYCAR SHORTAGE
Railroad Heads Have Plan to
Eliminate Hitch in Move
ment Of Grain.
HAVE MUTUAL AGREEMENT

With the approach Of the grain
shipping season and with indications
that throughout Nebraska, Kansas
Iowa and South Dakota the wheat
crop is going to be the largest ever
grown, heads of the railroads are OF
the opinion that plan has been for
INFLATED which, when it is put into
effect, will eliminate the possibility
OF freight car shortage
Local freight men assert that not
withstanding the enormous small
grain crop, this year there will be
plenty of cars to take care of the
business. The plans are being worked
out already and thousands of freight
cars that have been run through the
shops during the last three months
and put in first-class condition are be-
ing hurried out to the distributing
points in close proximity to the grain
fields.
Generally, the long strings Of
freight cars are going to junction
points and other places, from which
they can be quickly moved to the
small stations to be ready when Or
ders for their use are received.
Exports Caused Trouble.
Last year and prior thereto, the
shortage in grain carrying freight
cars was due in a great measure to
the fact that so much equipment was
loaded with wheat for export, carried
to the seaboard and the gulf ports
and there held for weeks and months
on sidings. The export demand was
so great that there were not enough
Of the ocean-going vessels to handle
the trade and not enough elevators
along the coast for the storage OF
the grain. As a consequence it was
held in the cars, which were shunted
back onto slidngs, fifty to 100 miles
from the ports. This resulted in
raany thousands of cars of the west
ern. roads being held out of service,
preventing later on the movement OF
grain to the domestic market.
Now the railroads have adopted an
ironclad agreement that entirely does
away with this storage of grain in
cars and which, if kept in effect, will
result in there being plenty of grain
carrying cars at all times.
Will Do Away with Delay.
The agreement between the roads
is that no grain for export will be
loaded into car until the export
agent furnishes a receipt, showing
that he has secured space on the yes
sci on which it is proposed to make
the export shipment. This receipt
must designate the port from which
the shipment will be made, the name
of the vessel and the date of sailing,
Until this data is furnished no order
for a car will be accepted, nor will
any bill of lading be issued.
Under the new order of things, both
local railroad and grain men assert
that car of grain can be loaded out
of Omaha for Atlantic or gulf ports
reach its designation and the empty
car be back in the territory inside Of
four weeks, whereas, under the work
ings Of the old rule, cars frequently
