Rubber Corporation Makes Inquiry
for Probable Location in New Iberia

The meeting of the Chamber Of
Commerce last Tuesday nighy,
called at the instance of Presi-
dent Hiram Carver was one Of IN
terest to the directorship and we
must say, the good effects of our
civic organization has already
been felt in more ways than one.
This can readily be seen from the
numerous letters that are be-
ginning to reach the Secretary,
through the varied descriptive
write-ups that has appeared IN
numerous publications in the Uni
ted States. In great measure.
also, the attention Of the outside
world is focused upon our move
ments through the heavy invest
ments of the Chas. Boldt Paper
Mills. Some weeks ago, we men
toned the great possibility Of New
liberia landing another large
canning factory, the company
having expressed thtr Willingness
to erect a Plant here in the very
near future. This matter is yet
receiving careful consideration by
the promoters, and everything
that the New Iberia Chamber Of
Commerce can consistently do,
without misrepresenting condi-
tions, will be strictly adhered to.
This takes us back to the propa-
ganda to work in connection with
the Police Jury and School Board
h securing the services of a
trained and experienced Farm
Demonstration. The board has
taken the matter up with both the
other bodies and as sann as the
services Of the proper person can
be secured Iberia Parish viii then

The commune atl0nS appended

letter was promptly replied to by

mean another industry for our

On Thursday evening in the Of
fees of the Southern Rice Grow
ers Association there assembled
several dozen rice farmers and
bankers at the invitation of Mr.
George r. Trotter. district man.
ager Southern Rice Growers As
sociation and a plan outlined as
to how the rice farmers could
save themselves from complete
ruin and bankruptcy in the State
of Louisiana. Some few days
ago in the city Of New Orleans an
initial meeting was held with the
object of placing the entire hand
ling of the rices in the hands of
the Southern Rice Growers Asso-
citation. Steps were taken to get
the mill owners to lend the use of
their factories to the Association,
and with few exceptions they all
signed up and the mills will hence
forth, that is for this season, be
controlled absolutely by the Rice
Growers Association, which is
now a selling corporation COM
bined. The farmers will be ad-
vanced few dollars on each sack
shipped to the Association, and
when sales are made the amount
will be appropriated accordingly.
This will mean at once that the
farmer will be advanced enough
on his cereal to get money to
tide himself over during the de-
preston. and at the same time re-
lieve him Of the risk Of losing his
rices by storm or unprotected in
surance. Unless something of
this kind is done the market will
be so depressed that it will not
bring over SO sack. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Association to hold
the price up to at least $500 for
Blue Rose at any event. All of
the farmers are urged to get into
touch with the Association at
once, SO that the crop in this Par
ish can be distributed to the dif-
ferent mills as early as possible.
Those we noticed at the meetings
were Messrs. John o. Bonin, AL,

not yet sold has been arranged
between the millers and the
Southern Rice Growers Associa-
ton.
Under the new arrangement,
all of the unsold portion of the
rice crop will be turned over to
the Southern Rice Growers As
sociation which, in turn, will DIS
tribute it with the millers i'll New

belt. The rice will be milled on
a foliage basis.
Arrangements are said to have
been completed with the banking

country parishes where rice Is
grown for the loan of So per bar

rice is sold. A committee on
which the planters from the river

Several efforts have been made
by the rice interests to stabilize
the market and to save, the farmer

We feel that, in selecting New
Iberia for a location for your fac
tory, you have picked the most
logical location in the State Of
Louisiana. New iberia is the hu5
of thick.y populated agricui-
tural and industrial section with
an area Of about 500 square miles
rom which to draw by means Of
its highways connecting New
iberia with the said area. 1t is
so the terminal Of the New I1a-
ria and Northern Railroad, the
Iberia, st. Mary and Eastern
Railroad and the /. and V. branch
of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
1t is also one of the principal cities
on the main line of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. We also have
water transportation through Ba-
you Teche which runs through the
City and which connects with
deep water leading both to the
Mississippi River and to the Gulf
of Mexico.
Labor conditions are no better
anywhere in the United States,
and in no locality will you get
stronger moral support than you
will from the citizens of this com
munity.
You ask us to give you the
names of a good dependable real
estate dealer: we gladly refer you
either to Mr.. R. A. Jacob, or to
the firms of Murray, Fisher and
Dabit, both having offices in this
City.
In conclusion we wish to state
that it will give US great pleasure
to furnish you with any further
information which you might de-
sire and we would suggest that
you send one of your field men to
pay us a visit, as we feel sure that,
after survey of this territory
and its possibilities, no location
other than New Iberia will appeal
to you.
Awaiting your further advises,
we are,
Very truly yours,
N. I. Chamber of Commerce.

Dear Sir-We are going to es

state. Do you know of a rubber
plant in your state that is for sale,
or plant that could be converted
into a rubber plant?

do not want the town to give us
a factory site Or a factory.
Under separate cover we are
sending you literature whic h
fully sets forth the wonderful
possibilities of the Climax Com
preston Inner Tube and would
like to have you read this litera-
ture very, carefully because Gil

Please give us the name of

Gentlemen-We have your
favor dated October 18th, and
take pleasure in promptly reply
ing thereto.
We know of no Rubber plant
presently located in this State that
is for sale but we do have within
a mile of the corporate limits of
this City, a site of six acres with
a brick building thereon and To-
Gated on a surfaced road and
which was formerly used as a
Power House site. which we think
could be purchased at a fairly rea-
sonable price. However should
you prefer to locate your plant
within the City limits, numerous
sites without buildings can be pro
cured for you.

Two Loyal Communities
Before the bond election we said
we. thought that the communities
that voted strong for the bonds ought
| to be remembered in road construc-
ton when there was any doubt as to
what work should be done, and now
as we recall the record of Firth,
Basat and Presto, the communit-
les most concerned in the unfinished
road to Firth, we find that Presto
voted 43 to l in favor of the bonds
Firth is included in the Basalt voting
precinct, and it voted 80 to l D for the
bonds. Basalt has for twenty years
always had from fifteen to twenty
five objectors-men who were radi-
cal or against what is, so when in
this bond election they trimmed
themselves down to fifteen DIRECTORS
have done their very best to keep
the community's reputation good,
and it is that much more to the
credit of BasaK and Firth. Firth
must have voted solidly in favor of
the bonds or there would have been
more than fifteen votes against
bonds.
The Firth commercial club has
been so conspicuous in its work for
improvements and so interested and
reasonable in its road work, we sug
gest to the commissioners that they
sell some more wheel scrapers to
get $1,000 to complete the top coat
ing of the road to Firth. 1t is not
fair to disappoint the good boosters
all over that country just because
there were fifteen DIRECTORS in Basalt
and vicinity.
Taking the case of Riverside, their
vote was SO to 0 in favor of bonds,
and it is not fair to them to leave
their townsite with no grade at all,
and the little bridge at the west MAX
ing bouncing-bee of the travellers.
If there are no more wheel scrapers
or dump wagons that can be sold to
get money to connect these two
broken links in the heavy traffic, and
there being no money left, we favor
taking public subscription to pay
for finishing the jobs. There are
enough of us scattered over the
country who can spare another $50
or 500 apiece for roads in addition
to our taxes, and we cannot afford
to have any broken links in the
roads nor any broken links in peo-
pies feelings, for the price of few
thousand dollars worth of road work
expended for our own good in our
good county. We have gone down
in our pockets individually and col
lectiyely to lick the kaiser, and we
can do it again for our roads.

RED PAINT DON'T
PUT OUT THE fire
Chief Simons Wants
Water Main, Not
Fancy Hydrants

A recent suggestion made before
the city council that the Blackfoot
waterworks company be requested to
paint all the fire hydrants in the
city with red paint meets strenuous
objections from Fire Chief Fred 81
mons, the organizer of our present
fire-fighting forces.
Red paint is very nice and all
that" declared the chief, but all
the paint in the United States could
MT make Blackfoot's fire depart-
ment any better or worse; paint ev-
cry hydrant from San Francisco to
New York with bright vermillion
paint and it wouldn't put drop of
water on a fire in Blackfoot
Decoration is all right, but when
it comes to making a hydrant more
easily distinguished, as the gentle
man suggested to the council, it is
nothing. Paint them red and you
can't see them in the dark-paint
them white and you can't see them
with snow on the ground If they
want to help the fire department
to see the hydrants the best thing
to do would be to place red guide
light above every one. That would
be worth something.
las for the efficiency of the fire
department, what it needs most is a
chance to get water to fires. Right
here in our business district there
is only one slx-inch main, and that
ends at the Kinney Mercantile COM
pany's store Oh Bridge street. Right
there is the only hydrant tapping a
six-inch main in the whole district.
Suppose we had a fire in the
Boise-Payette or Anderson lumber
yard-and, as everybody knows, a
lumber yard fire is the hardest thing
in the world to extinguish-we' d
have to 60 way back to the Kinney
store and use every available bit of
hose to reach the fire with real
stream of water. And where would
we be trying to fight fire in the
Anderson lumber yard? Nowhere!
IF it comes to spending some
money to better the city fire de-
partment, I'd suggest saving the sew
eral hundred dollars that would be
spent for paint and putting it into
extending the siX-inch main from
Kinney's west on Bridge street to
the Boise-Payette corner and north
in the alley to the Anderson lumha.
yard.
No wonder they can't get fire in
surance rates lowered in Blackfoot,
with only one large hydrant in the
heart of town. If possible we should
have an even larger main than six
inch, and hydrants directly from it
at the three places.
All the hydrants in the world
painted nice red would not do
fraction as much good to Blackfoot
as main with water in it,
Chief Simons spent good many
years in the fire-fighting business
before coming to Blackfoot, namely
1t San Francisco, and at Boise, where
ne acted as instructor in organizing
he department. Since holding his |
present position he has accomplished
number of noteworthy improve
nents, and has successfully COPIED
