Matters are not SO alarming that
one or more gentlemen should hesi-

if the shipyard does move to dis
tant points. there are number Of
prospective enterprises that are book
ed by the chamber Of commerce TO
visit this city for the purpose Of To-
cation. that will carry as large pay
roll as the shipyard now carries.
While the chamber Of commerce
does not want to see the yards go. it
still is optimistic enough to know that
Morgan City is bound to come to her
own by the prospective numbers in
correspondence.
The pledges given have been subs
tantial. Contributions in small
amounts would be agreeable if given
with good WILL and there should be
no hesitancy whatever by the citizen
who can give only in small amounts,
thinking that others giving larger
amounts will outshine him at the
shrine of city enterprise.
This community needs every man
at the helm and every dollar that
can be spared. No doubt about that.

route is dregged canal. known as

canal dredged to White Lake and
through three small lakes to Grand
Lake. This section was completed
in 1911 and is in extensive use A
lock at Schooner Bayou 50 feet wide

FIRE BUG AT WORK.
Caused Destruction of a Large Barn at
Alburg.

Aburg, Nov. -. "A fire Of unknown
origin destroyed the large farm barn
on the property Of George w. Sabre at
an early hour yesterday morning. The
blaze was discovered by men in the
railroad yard about three o'clock who
promptly sounded the alarm, but when
they arrived on the scene the building
was a mass OF flames an5 none of its
contents could be saved Stored in the
west end were about eight tons of
baled hay and it appeared that the fire
started there The hay with numer-
ous pieces of farm machinery and two
light driving wagons We're in the barn,
also w. +. Flynn & Co. had stored
there new machinery carried over from
this season.

smaller barns were saved by means of

from the barn which burned by only a
few feet and were several times ablaze.
This is the second building belonging
to Mr.. Sabre destroyed by a mysterious
fire during the absence of the family
