town. All sorts of names were sug-
ge5ted, until finally the name Bogue
Lusa was suggested, and inasmuch
as the government would not permit
two words in the name of a postof-
flee, the two words were combined,
making Bogalusa.
First Tree Cut
On Wednesday, February 7, 1906.
the first tree in Bogalusa was felled
on the north side of the creek, near
Avenue B bridge, by J. L. McClen-
don, an old resident Of this section,
and on February 18th, tents were
erected and carpenters, millwrights
and construction men moved in and
commenced the erection of a porta-
BILE mill near the site of the old
Louisiana Fibre Board Co. plant.
There was sufficient timber on the
site to build the town, amounting in
all to about fourCCen million feet.
It was at first proposed to locate
the sawmill plant north Of the creek,
but later on when F. H. Goodyear
and A. G. Goodyear visited Bogalusa
and looked the situation over again,
it was decided to build the plant on
the south side of the creek. This
decision was reached May Is, 1906.
The town and plant were completed
by November 1, 1907, but operation
of the plant was not begun until the
first Of September, 1908.
In Goodyear Park, within fifty
feet Of each other, are monuments
erected to commemorate the life and
service of Frank H. Goodyear, first
president, and Charles w. Goodyear,
second president of the Great South
ern Lumber Company. To the wis
dom and foresight of these two men
and their associates, shareholders in
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany, we are indebted in a great
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1920-11-25

of Great Southern Lumber Company
officials left COvingtOn, La, with
a view of locating a site for a town
somewhere between Slidell and Jack
son, where a large sawmill would be
erected. In the party were: F. H.
Goodyear, president Of the Great
Southern Lumber Company; c. w.
Goodyear, vice-prestdent; Charles l.
James, vice-president; w. H. Sulli-
van, general manager; F. J. Coleman,
engineer; N. G. Pearsall, then gen.
eral manager of the N. o. G. N. rail-
road.
The party arrived where the town
of BOgalusa is now located on the
morning of September Is, 1905, and
lEUnod it a very attractive location
fer a town, but were not satisfied
on account Of its being nearer to Sill
dell than it was to Jackson. 1t was
then decided by the party to find a
place which was suitable about 20
miles further north. The found a
suitable site called Ten Mile, about
Is miles north of Bogalusa, but ow-
ing to difficulties in purchasing the
land, it was decided to locate the
town at what is now called Bogalusa.
Six Months to Select a Name

Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1920-11-25

The marvellous work that has been
done in this community, in the build
ing of the splendid City of Boga-
lUsa, in the past ID years, has been
due to the management and the
stockholders Of the Great Southern
Lumber Company and the New Or
leans Great Northern Railroad Com
pany, who, unfortunately, do not live
in the city and are therefore deprived
of many of the privileges that we as
citizens of the city enjoy. To these
people, scattered all over the United
States and who by their faith in the
men at the head of the Great South
ern Lumber Company and the New
Orleans Great Northern Railroad
Company, invested their money in
these pine forests Of Louisiana and
Who gave directions that the people
Who operated their plant should be
surrounded by all the privileges that
anyone living in a modern city en-
joy, and who during all the depress-
ing times that we have gone through
in the last few years had so much
faith in the ultimate outcome of the
enterprise that they insisted on its
continued operation even though sac
rificing. their own interests and sac
rificing their timber in order that the
people who are interested as en-
ployes might have steady employ
ment and might not suffer the hard
ships that people living in other
Southern lumber communities have
had to bear, to these stockholders we
owe a great debt of gratitude which
the whole citizenship of the City of
Bogalusa will very gladly repay to
the very best of their ability during
the coming years.
Selecting Site of City

measure for this splendid city. Their
instructions at all times to W. H.
Sullivan, vice-president and general
manager of the company, who de-
signed and built the town and plant,
were to make Bogalusa good town
to live in, giving the people good
schools, churches, well arranged
homes with electric lights, pure wa
ter, sewerage and all modern conven-
fences; to build good streets, good
sidewalks, and to make the town so
attractive that men who worked in
lumber enterprises would be glad to
live here.
No Other Bogalusa
AS stated above, the city gets its
name from the Choctaw name of the
creek that runs east and west
through the center Of the city. This
stream is called Bogue Lusa, which
in the Choctaw language means
BLACK Creek" The combination of
the two words "Bogue Lusa" into
Bogalusa makes a very unusual
name. Nowhere in the whole world
is there another place called Boga-
lusa. Nowhere in the whole world
has there been accomplished as much,
with the same amount of money, with
the same amount of skill, as has

of $4,000 people to a city of $4,000.
During that time there will have been
built in Bogalusa chemical works, al
cohol works, paper mills, more hard
wood mills, veneer nils and furni-
ture factories. Ten years from pOw
the people who are at present lHing
here will wonder whv they did not

For seven years we have enjoyed
the privileges Of a Commission form
Of government, and it is quite APP
parent that the management of the
city's affairs has been conducted in
such a way as to meet the full ap-
1rovl of the citizens of the city.
During the past wear improve
ments of a million dollars have been
made, which include four fine grad
ed schools, one of the finest High

building of miles of concrete side

year, the money already being in the
hands of parish officials. Next year
will also see a modern draw-bridge
across Pearl River, linking the great
thoroughfare between Mississippi
ana LOUISIANA.
Eogalusa has one of the finest hos
pitals to be found in any city, two
strong banks, a modern ice and ice
- ~l9nt, creamery, several
good hotels, among which is the Pine
rec ian. one of the finest hostelries

parks; two of the best baseball parks
in the South, one for the white and
ore for colored; tn finest Y. w. G..
A. south OF the Ohio River; the best
Y. M. C. A. in Louisiana, and about
every kind of business or enterprise
that any city could desire. Each and
everyone is owned or operated by
proficient management. And there
is scarcely one of these which did
not receive the hearty cooperation
of the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany and also received financial as
sistance.
Rogalusa is just, one big family

the city has had or ever will have as
long as he lives. AS vice-president
and general manager of the Great
