ROAD BIDS OPENED.
Plan Proposed to Assure Gravel High
way in Second District.

Proposals for the construction Of a
gravel highway in Road District NO
2 of Ascension parish, extending
from Hope Villa in the eighth ward
to the Ascension-St. James line on the
river front in ward five, distance OF
approximately 27.48 miles, were
opened in the office of the highway
department of the Board Of State En-
gineers, in New Orleans, last Mon
day afternoon, pursuant to ADVERTISE
ment.
The lowest bid submitted was that
of S. A. Gano, and this was found TO
be some twelve or fifteen thousand
dollars in excess of the amount avail
able for the building of the road. By
changing the specifications Of the
highway so as to provide for grav-
eled surface twelve feet wide, instead
of fourteen feet as at present con-
tenrplated, the Gano proposal can be
pared down to a figure that will per-
nit of it's acceptance. This change
was agreed to by the state highway
department, but the representative Of
the federal government present at the
conference stated that he would have
to take the matter up with his bureau
in order to ascertain whether the pro-
posed revision of the plans would be
sanctioned. Both state and federal
aid is to be secured in the construc-
ton of the road.
Police Jurors Leon Newman and l..
w. Armitage, and Messrs. F. Edw.
Babin and Henry C. Braud were on
hand at the opening of the bids as the
representatives of the road district.

BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.

This isn't war editorial-that is
it isn't a European-war editorial
but appertains to another titanic ant
gigantic struggle, namely, the mo
mentous contest of the New Yorl
"Giants" and the Chicago white
Sox" for the worlds baseball cham
tpionship.
The first game of the series was
played at Chicago on Saturday las
and resulted in victory for the To-
cal tean-the boys who get their clut
sobriquet, white Sox," from ths
color of their stockings when those
articles of foot and leg-wear are fresh
from the laundry and have not YET
taken on the hue of the surrounding
dust or mud. The score of the initia
mix-up was to /.
Game No. 2, also played in Chicago
on Sunday, saw the White Sox again
romping over the Gotham Giants by
score of 7 to 2, and the enthusiastic
hackers of the American League
champions began to have visions of a
straight four-game victory for their
favorites. But, alas! for the faulty
Of human hopes and prophecies! Z
The competing gladiators went to
New York for the next two games Of
the championship series. Game No.
3 was scheduled for Tuesday, but the
weather man vetoed the schedule with
rain, and the agony was deferred I'M
til Wednesday,, when the Giants
drubbed the Sox by too. Thursday,
IN game No. 4, they repeated the op-
Grafton by a score of 5 to 0, so that
the clubs go back to Chicago on even
terms for the fifth game, to be played
today.
If either team wins both of these
games it will fly the championship
pennant for 1917. IL each team wins
one, seventh game will be necessary
to decide the tie. The Chief re-
marked last week that the clubs ap-
peared to be very evenly matched and
that it was toss-up as to which
would win the coveted trophy. This
forecast is amply confirmed by the
results of the first four games and the
toss-up still goes.
The attendance at each of the
games has ranged from $4,000 to 49,
GOO, and the gate receipts from $780,
600 to $4,000 in round figures.

Seek Better Accommodations.

Notice has been given by the rail
road commission of Louisiana that at
session to be held at it's office in the
capitol building in Baton Rouge,
Tuesday, Oct. %, at 10 a. M, the
commission will take up for hearing
and consideration its case against the
railroads of the state, in re seperate
smoking compartments and toilets for
the sexes for colored people on pas
senger trains. The movement to Sc
cure this accommodation was insti-
tuted by an association of representa-
tive colored citizens of Donaldson
vile and other sections of Louisiana,
among those prominently identified
with the crusade being DR.. J. H.
Lowery, j. S. Brazier and E. D.
Wright, of this city, and B. V. Baran-
CO, Of Baton Rouge. A test case was
first brought against the Texas & Pa
cific Railroad, and this was pressed to
a successful conclusion before the
railroad commission, which issued an
order directing the railroad to pro-
vide the conveniences sought. The
committee in charge of the matter is
hopeful of an equally favorable out
come of the proceedings now pending
against all the railroads of the state.
