ing made auxiliary to the New Or

ingSolders 10 Guard
Bridge And Harbor
Full Company VIII Reach Morgan City Satur-
day and Pitch Tents on Bay Shore
PATROL BOATS AND SEARCHLICHTS Will Be USED

Lieutenant-C Colonel Stubbs of the
United States Volunteer Service,
stationd at New Orleans, advised
Mayor Maurice E. Shannon Of Nor
gan City by telephone last night
that the War Department had in
structed the placing of guard of
one hundred soldiers over the Ber-
wick Bay Southern Pacific Bridge
and the Morgan City harbor. The
military company will reach here
Saturday and will be stationed
along the bay shore and on the neu-
trail ground of the right of way
leading up to the bridge structure.
The guard will patrol the bridge
and approaches and motor boats
will be used to patrol the waters of
the harbor. The bridge and waters
will be kept under the rays Of
search lights at night.
Mayor Shannon outlined to Colo
mel Stubs the facilities Morgan City
had for taking care of the company
lof- gusxd44 and gave. assurance tsskt
sanitary camp grounds, toilet ac-
commodations and pure drinking
water will be supplied. The South
ern Pacific Railway Company has
offered every possible cooperation
in meeting the requirements of tbs
situation and will keep switch en-
gines constantly at the disposal o.
the guardians.
The importance of the protecting
Of the Berwick Bay bridge a
a connecting link in one Of the Wit
al military arteries of the Soutl
has been repeatedly brought to tn
attention of congressman and tn
War Department. Through effort
of Congressman Martin the massive
government machinery has beel
finally put in motion with the re
suit that the needed safeguard ha
been ordered and breath of re
lief now goes up from the citizen
of this territory. One hundred arm!

ford ample protection as far as i'm
mediate need is felt. The citizens
will gladly greet this company and,
if called upon. will be found ready
to support them in every way.
:, It has been pointed out that this
recognition to local conditions by
the War Department is indicative Of
strategic value in which this section
of the country is held and that con-
tinued efforts along the same lines
will further supply the needed at
tention to the Intercoastal-canal
and the. maintaining for military
purposes of a cross-country highway
between New Orleans and Houston.
This highway is now surfaced COM
plete except for the distance be-
tween the Chene bridge and Houma,
but in unfavorable weather condi-
tions this one unfinished strip
could retard the movement of mu-
| milton and supply trains which
might be compelled to travel over
land.
Guards have been stationed along
the Mississippi River levees for
many miles above New Orleans.
This protective work is going ahead
rapidly and the levee system OF
Louisiana will probably soon be un-
der the most complete system of
surveillance in their history. 1t is
necessary that this levee guarding
also be extended to the Atchafalaya
levees between Morgan City and the
Mississippi and unremitting appeals
to the War Department will nc
doubt result in affording such pro-
lection.
/ Numerous kilograms have been
forwarded by citizens of Morgan
City calling for congressional at.
tention to the canal, highway and
levee question and assurances have
been received that these matters
will be kept before the national
body of law makers and the Depart,
ments of War until the necessary
action be taken.

many. Let Cottonwood say as much.

Commercial Club HOnorS Ex-
Editor Winner.

The Commercial Club held the reg
ular meeting and banquet at the
Phoenix hotel Monday noon. After
the usual business was disposed Of,
President of the Club Geo. M. Rob-
ertson of the First National Bank, in
a neatly-worded speech, presented to
Exhibitor Winner a beautiful gold
watch-a gift from the Commercial
Club. This was done as token of
esteem and appreciation for Mr.. Wi
mer's long and faithful service as a
member of the club and for the untir-
ing energy he has always exerted in
behalf of the town and community.
In the most beautiful and eloquent
language Mr.. Robertson compared the
steady growth and influence of the
Chronicle, under Mr.. Winners guild
ance for the past II years, to a river
with its source in the snow-capped
mountains. The stream begins 10 q
small quiet way, but gradually en-
larges and broadens out into a great
and mighty river.
So it was with the Chronicle. 1t
was obliged to start in a small quiet
way and perhaps had a struggling ex-
istence until the town and community
developed to point making it posi-
BILE for the paper to enlarge and broad
en- out in its power and usefulness un-
til it became most important factor
il the development of the town and
surrounding country.
Of course this unexpected honor
came as complete surprise to Mr.. Wi
mer, who was too much overcome with
emotion to lengthen out much in bis
words of thanks-but it is a safe bet
that nobody ever received present
that was more thoroughly appreciated.

From IS to 80 head of cattle
have died during the past month
on the range in the Weiser Ma

they were poisoned, but whether
from eating larkspur and other

cious persons has not been decid-
ed. The State Veterinarian is
investigating the matter and will
report his conclusions before long.
The regular Saturday night
street concert was rendered by

lowing the concert the boys were
