ALLRED ABLAZE

Tt wouldn't do for me to tell all know and relate what have been up against in Siberia for the past twenty months with other American soldiers, as it might kick back and get me into trouble" said B. F. Alfred, who re- turned yesterday morning to be greet ed by relatives and friends.
 This well known Yavapai soldier was rated as the best rifle shot in the division to which he was assigned, but of his markmanship on the firing line, he was reticent.
 He mentioned one fact, however that up to the time of the signing oi tine armistice there was no field action whatever, but strange as it may seem hoStilitieS opened immediately after ward and still continue.
 Many Americans, he says, are be- ing wantonly shot down and the sooner they are removed from the country the better "The American soldier is a unit by himself, the center of the wrath of all those mixed allied nationaliries in Siberia, and we are daily losing many good men by snip ing and other cowardly acts" he says. The censor is still on his job and we could not get through letters which gave the slightest intimation of what in reality was going on. The lid was on tight when left"
 Of the future of that country from any angle as an investment, he is en- ohatically pessimistic, saying that the crudest oi primitive conditions exist everywhere, and there is not the slightest tendency toward changing things to conform to modern ideas The people are illiterate and cling to traditions as earnestly today as ever, -efusing to yield to anyone.

ANOTHER STRIKE IN
 BRADSHAWS REPORTED
(From Saturdays Daily)


 The Nelson mine near Crown King another Bradshaw property which IS today occasioning comment on ac- count of the report of a rich gold strike.
 It was learned yesterday that in the face of the 3S0O-foot long tunnel l I2-tCot ore body is. exposed at 6 iepth of 900 feet from the apex ana 200 feet beyond the zone where a shallow shaft was sunk some years ago. While the tunnel was being driven a cross vein was cut, that comes evidently from the War Eagle mine, situated near by to the west, and remarkable as it may seem this ore body was of all oXidized condition fully SIX feet in width.
 Such a mineraligical showing under conditions of such great depth is baffling mining men, and is causing interest which is only equalled by the strike made many years ago in the 500-foot level of the Crown King mine when a native gold ore body was cut into in the sulphide zone The Nelson is now under operation by the Philadelphia Mining Co.,, with Geo. P. Harrington as manager, and the tunnel exploration is to be con tinued, with production beginning at once. It is planned to treat the pro duct either at the mill of the Brad shaw Development Co.,, or to build a new plant.
 This is the second big strike to be reported from the above field in two weeks. the Silver Crown in the silver belt sharing in the big doings. The Nelson parallels it to the west in the gold formation less than one mile distant.

AIRSHIP ROUTE THE
 LATEST IN WEDLOCK
CFrom Saturdays DailyO

The romantic marriage of Miss Mavbell Allyn and Aviation Lieuten- ant Arthur Everett, is announced in a letter from the bride to an acquaint- ance in this city, Miss Mamie Crell- ings of Tucson, summer visitor and who is returning home on Sunday. The event was sclemnized in an air slip at Ithaca, \. Y., in which there were aboard tour people in addition to the aviator at the helm. The cere- mony occurred under a code of signs agreed to, and not a word was spok- en, neither was there the customary felicitations extended or hand-shak- ing. as all were strapped into their seats. The occasion for this mute demonstration was obvious, 1t being impossible to hear a word uttered by the whirr of the machinery. A height of only 100 feet was made when the matrimonial machine came back to its landing place, the bride fainting away from the aerial shock. Later all affixed their signatures to the li- cense, and the first nuptial leap via the biplane route was over. The bride IS a trained nurse and accom- panied to this city Miss Crellings last August. She met Lieutenant Everett at Kelly Field, Texas, while engaged in her profession.

SEES GRAVE PERILS IN
ABSOLUTE DEMOCRACY
Rev. DR.. John Britain Clark
Speaks at Weekly Luncheon
Of City Club.

Absolute democracy as a ruling
principle Of government is as full of
perils as autocracy, declared Rev. DR..
John Brittan Clark. pastor of First
Presbyterian Church, speaking at the
weekly luncheon of the City Club at
the clubhouse yesterday. Rev. DIR.
Clark was emphatic in his assertion
that the present swing of the pendu-
lum toward absolute democracy is
fraught with grave perils to govern
general structure of society.
Democracy, not in it's narrow
party sense, but its broad political
meaning, means rule by the mass di-
rect. It's instrumentalities are The
referendum and recall, and there
never has been government vet
where absolute democracy as the
ruling principle has not wrought de-
struction in the end"
Autocracy, the speaker declared,
being the rule of one or of the few,
is equally dangerous, the golden mean
being the democratic republic, where
the people have the choice in the
where those representatives are given
the freedom % decide momentous
questions according to the dictates
of their own sense of right and JUS
tice. unmoved by the wavering mob
spirit of the moment.
Rev. DR.. Clark referred to the coal
strike, saying that public sentiment

ment of, the strike. The same public
sentiment, he said. was responsible
for the election of Gov. Coolidge in
Massachusetts, and the defeat of Tam

STOP SUCH wAsTEFULNEss

The manner in which the city au-
thorities have been repairing the
wood block streets is not only dis
tasteful to the eyes of the public
spirited citizens, but a wantOn waste
of the taxpayers money.
Think of putting a dollar-and-a-
half negro at work patching up
streets worth about $4,000 a mile
OF course the city authorities mean
well. They are doing their very best
to save the taxpayers money, but in
our opinion this method is "false
economy"
What does a common laborer know
about fixing our streets? What assur-
ances have the taxpayers that the
work is done in a scientific way?
Surely the city authorities are not
willing to let common negro laborers
patch up" work that has cost the
taxpayers thousands of dollars
The mere slicing of the blocks and
putting them back in thier places is
not, in our mind, the way to fix these
streets-at least, not the manner in
which they are being repaired. In
little or no time our beautiful streets
the best in the world as originally
laid downF-will be about as level and
as firm as our gravel streets.
Some action should be taken to see
that our streets are attended to prop
erly, and this should be done without
delay, otherwise in few years Ope.
lousas will be without wood block
streets and only "splinters" will be
in evidence where genuine wooc
blocks once stood.

AUTO FACTORIES PAY
33,OOO,OOO IN TAXES

In 1918 automobile manufacturers
paid a total of 100000 in taxes
to the federal government. In the
same period car owners paid $780,
100000 in motor registration fees
to the states.
Total automobile taxes, including
the personal property, local charges,
etc. for the year are estimated at
S155, 100000. The charges viii reach
5000, 100000 in 1919. All of these
are paid by car owners in the last an
alysis, making total charge of $25
per car for 1918.
Against this it should be noted that
out Of a total of the 100000 miles
of highways in the United States, but
some $3.50 miles are equal to the de
mands of heavy-duty traffic, ant
this mileage is disconnected, scatter
ed and of no present use for through
Interstate traffic.
1t certainly appears from this thaf
the needs Of the car owner or motol
truck operator have not been consid
cred in highway construction, al
though the taxes amount to sun
equal to more than half of the rea
expenditures in the United States fo
any single year.

STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM

Louisiana is fast assuming the lead
among Southern states in construc-
ton of model roads. The enthusi-
asm of many Of the parishes, however,
is working to the detriment of the
best interests Of the entire state, in
that the community idea seems to be
overshadowing the state system of
roads.
Now that we have come to appreci-
ate modern highways as commercial
necessities, we believe that the state
should settle on one uniform system,
just like we here in st. Landry are
endeavoring to bring about uni
form system for ourselves.
It has been suggested that Louisi-
ana vote a S25, 100000 bond issue.
It has also been suggested that the
automobile tax, paid annually, should
not be returned to the parishes, as in
the present manner, but that this
fund should go towards the construe-
ton and maintenance Of a state sys-
tenn Of highways.
When one takes the interest Of the
entire state into consideration, the
two suggestions referred to are GER
tainly to be seriously considered, if
we ever desire to keep abreast of the
times. Louisiana must get away
from the community influence it
must undertake the completion Of a
modern project on a big, modern and
up-to-date American basis.
It is to be hoped that the next legis-
lature win enact such laws as win ul-
timately give Louisiana the best sys-
tenn. of highways in the South and
that the money paid BY automobile
owners viii be spent by the state
highway authorities on model roads,
rather than by the police jurors in
filling up "bog holes"

SURVEY SHOWS EXTENT
OF MOSAIC DISEASE

The survey of the sugar cane belt
of Louisiana just completed by the
United States department of agricul-
ture furnishes valuable data on the
present distribution of the Mosaic
disease in the state. The disease is
not general as yet but seems to be
spreading to a considerable extent,
according to C. w. Edgerton plant
pathologgist, experiment station, L.
S. u. The disease is most abundant
in the southeastern part of the sugar
belt, including the parishes of Plaque
Mines, Orleans, jefferson and port
lions of the adjoining parishes. There
are also some rather large infected
areas around Dopaldsonville, Plaque
mine, Adds, Burtville, Reserve and
a few other points. In the rest of the
state there are only small isolated
patches in the neighborhod of recent
" introduced cane. In most parts
of the state, there are as yet many
fields entirely free of the disease.
AS the disease is carried over from
one crop to the next, in the seed, it
is important that the planters should
endeavor by all means to obtain dis
ease-free seed from these healthy
fields. AS the disease seems to be
! .;.,,e1,, n ffao4;ro, tba n-7A zane an
earnest effort should be made to keep
it under control if we wish to keep
this valuable cane from deteriorat-
ing. A circular on the control of this
disease has recently been published
by the extension division. A copy is
being sent to each name in the direc-
tory of cane growers but additional
copies may he obtained by applying
to the experiment station, Louisiana
State University, Baton Rouge.

THE MOSAIC DISEASE
THREATENS SUGAR INDUSTRY

The Mosaic, or nothing, disease of
sugar cane which threatens to cause
considerable losses to the cane indus
try of Louisiana lis most apparent on
the young leaves of the plants. The
leaves Of the diseased plant, instead
of being dark green as are those on a
healthy plant ARE of a yellowish
green color. The leaves also have a
notified appearance due to the pres
ence of white or light yellow stripes
of green tissue. Sometimes these
light-colored stripes are few in num-
Der and large, but more frequently
they are small and narrow and so
abundant that the whole plant has a
light-yellow appearance as compared
to health ypIants.
"While our knowledge of the dis
ease is yet limited there are several
recommendation which we can make
which we believe viii help to check
the disease in the state, and possibly
in the end eradicate it or keep it in
control" says C. w. Edgerton, plant
pthologist, experiment station, Lou
isiana State University. The meas
ures for control recommended by DR..
Edgerton are as follows:

from other localities for planting pur-
poses. This disease seems to be
spread largely by shippingg in new

ties at the sugar experiment station

shipments win be made to those see
