The loading station on the flats
end of the line will be in the Todd
Shipbuilding Co.'s enclosure, ad-
joining the office of the ship
yards timekeeper. In the city, an
attractive loading station will be
erected in the middle of 10th
street, at A street.
1t may also be necessary to
erect similar station at the Mil
waukee railroad shops, Atkins
said.
Chief Clerk Bradley of the pub
lie works department estimated
that the conductors are not col
lecting more than one-tenth of the
fares now, but Atkins said he did
not believe the difference was so
great.
Losing Three.Fourths.
Were losing at least three
fourths of the fares, tho" he said.
But the conductors aren't show
ing any laxity in issuing transfers
to the T. r. & P. lines"
With the present scarcity of
street cars on the municipal line,
hundreds of workmen lombard the
cars at either end of the line
morning and evening, fighting to
get aboard. Conductors have a
hard time to collect fares, at the
best, Atkins says, but they have
shown no interest in getting them
all, as they do on cars of the T.
r. & p. Co.
1 am not accusing the T. R. G.
+. Co. of trying to do us any in
Justice, but we are certainly not
getting a spare deal from its con-
ductors," he says.
Besides erecting the loading
stations Atkins will retain one
or more inspectors to ride on the
cars.
Loop on A and 10th.
Atkins has decided to run the
city loop around A street and
10th to Pacific ave., and back to
18th.
The loading station will be in
the middle of 10th, in front of the
Wells-Fargo express office.
Another city trailer was put on
the line Monday, and third
trailer will be in service later in
the week.

Aswell's Declaration
ANNOUNCES HIS INTENTION TO
SUPPORT NATION WIDE
PROHIBITION.

Washington. d. c.. Dec. 22-Rep-
resentative James b. Aswell, of
Louisiana, surprised his congress.
lonal associates this week with an
announcement that he intends to
support national prohibition. He
will vote for the pending measure
in congress to make the District of
Columbia. dry and later on, when
an opportunity is offered, he will
vote in favor of the Webb resolu-
ton, which calls for a constitu-
tional amendment for nationwide
prohibition.
Two years ago Mr.. Aswell work
ed and voted in the House against
the Hobson resolution. which pro-
vide for constitutional amend
ment. He justified his chance of
position today by asserting that
the Hobson measure was inslncere
and was not an anti saloon measure.
The Objectionable features of the
Hobson resolution, he said, are
.a6sent ffom Fhb w ebb resolution.
Mr.. Aswell pointed out that the
Hobson| Recommendation gave ex-
elusive police control to the fed
eral government, whereas the
Webb resolution provides that the
states and the federal government
shall have equal and coordinate
control, either independently or
concurrentlv.
Mr.. Aswell issued the following
brief statement;
The Objectionable provisions
of the the Hobson prohibition re-
solution, against which | protested
two years ago, have been eliminat-
ed by the pending Webb resolu.
ton, which provides that the con-
gress and the state shall have
power independently of concur.
rently to enforce this article of the

ton. shall support the passage
Of the Webb resolution and also

.rict of Columbia dry"
The senate has agreed to a final
vote on January 9, on the Shep-
oard bill to make the District of
Columbia dry. It is hardly pro-
oable that the Webb constitutional
amendment proposal will reach a
7ote this session.

Live stock was graded up and

The commercial interests, home

each and every local business found
1916 a red letter year and The En-
terprise is not only thankful for
the general patronage accorded 1t.
but the expressions Of apprecla-

more than repay for the time and

each and every community interest.
There is no doubt Of the re-
sources and opportunities that 1916
has left Natchitoches, as unfinished
business for 1917.
The experiences of the year Just
ended, demand greater efficiency,
watchfulness and above all the
ability to appraise properly the
potential prosperity that is really
at our door waiting to be develop
ed into material wealth.
So with the determination to be
up and doing, The Enterprise is
ready for the cooperation of the
people of the fair parish of Nat
chitoches to make 1917 go down
in history as doubling the result
of its predecessor, which is testified
to below:

diversified farms selling to-day at fifty

Natchitoches can always boast aver

Dear Madam:
The year 1916 has been for US an IN
usally successful one. During my
twenty-five years stay in Natchitoches
there have been good times" and "bad
times, but considering the conditions
which have prevailed throughout this
entire year, such as the destruction
done by the boil weeviIs, the European
war, and the difficulty in securing
merchandise, none has been as success
full as the year which is just drawing
to a close. With the improvements
hat are we'll on the way, such as bet
terments Of farms, roads, ETC., the
building Of the Jefferson Highway, and
the desire for Universal Peace, we hope
the year 1917, as we'll as those that fol-
low will be years of prosperity, not only
to our little business world but to the
state and county at large.
