THINK STORM CENTER
 YET TO REACH TEXAS
tBy Uniua1 rress)

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 22-With reports of hurricane damage at New Orleans and vicinity, the course of the tropical storm seems to have doubled back, striking off in a north easterly direction after getting well into the Gulf of Mexico, according to Major Allen Bull, local forecaster for the weather bureau.
 It was pointed out, however, that the same conditions exist today as when the spur of gulf storm struck the Louisiana coast, causing small damage and leading to the belief that danger was past. Several days later, its center struck Corpus Christi with disastrous effects. In the present case the tropical hurricane has struck at New Orleans with only light dam age, while weather observers have not positively located its center.

RADICALS DOWNFD
 BY UNITED MINERS
(By United Press)

Indianapolis, Sept. 22.-Conserva- tive forces have won the nominations for majority of the officers of the United Mine Workers of America, ac- cording to an announcement made to- day at national headquarters. John L. Lewis, international president, holds his position as head of the work CTS, Lewis receiving 926 votes to ASA for Robert Harlin of Washington.
 A decisive setback for the radical element was the majority given Phillip Murrah, at present first vice. president, over Alexander Howatt, president of the Kansas district, who made the race for the office. Howatt is an ultra-radical, while Murrah is closely associated with Lewis and the conservative wing.

The Pershing Highway.
Colfax, La. March 80, 1920.

Editor Colar Chronicle.
There is no question that poor
roads cause an economic waste,
OF which the total in this parish
is startling. The business OF
farming is essentially dependent
on the condition OF the roads,
for whatever is not produced on
the farm must be hauled to the
farm; and many crops of the
farm must be hauled away to To-
cal markets and railroad stations.
Grant parish is rich in agricul-
tural possibilities, so why not
make the outgoing shipments of
farm products exceed the annual
incoming shipments. Anetwork
of good roads is what we need
and what we will have. As the
western side of the parish has
the Jefferson Highway, the CEN
trail part needs the Pershing
Highway. One section of our
parish cannot build and another
fighting it. No two sections of
any country can oppose each
other and take on local quarrels
and be improved thereby. We
tried that e-the North and
the South land the results were
disastrous.
| believe in constructive and
not destructive competition and
principles, and contend for the
Pershing Highway to go from
Winfield to Alexandria through
the central part of the parish and
connect all the little towns along
the L. & A. R. R. THE more
roads the more travel" some
one has said, and this is a true
maxim. Therefore when one
considers all the various ways in
which tourist travel operates to
benefit the communities through
which the tourist travel; tourist

tor. The western part of the
parish will have tourists over the
jefferson Highway. Why not

No Fight Between Colfax and East
and West Grant.

We publish this week a letter
from Mr.. Robt. M. Johnson, or
The Pershing Highway" Of
rather the controversy growing
out of its location, and as he
gives utterance to some mistak'
en- ideas that seem to be widely
prevalent among a number OF
the people in central and east
Grant parish, we regard it as a
timely and legitimate sanction
that the Chronicle should make
a few remarks about this social
ed fight. y
In the first place our CORES
pendent is reminded that dis
agreements and differences of
opinion between communities as
to any public policy is by no
means to be regarded as fight.
These differences and disagree
ments occur over almost every
matter of public policy that, aris-
es, and they always have to be
discussed sometimes with need
less acrimony) before they can
be harmonized.
A moments reflection will
show Mr.. johnson that this
fight" began some five or six
years ago. when Colfax and west
Grant parish were proposing to-
vote bonds and levy a parish
wide tax to build a system of
good hard surface roads all over
the parish. This idea, to grid
iron the parish all over with
good roads. did not meet with
favor in central and east Grant,
as it was claimed the people |
there were opposed to mourning
an exhorbitant ta7nupon them
selves and their children.
The consequence was the po-
lice jury repealed their ordinance
the whole Of Grant par
ish into one road district, and
Road Districts Nos. 8 and 9 were
created, dividing the parish in
two reparate districts. Road dis
trict No. 8 went ahead and voted
to issue bonds and pay taxes to
retire them. and was fortunate
enough to secure the location
and building of the jefferson
through the entire
length Of the parish on the west
side Of the parish.
Then came the Pershing Way,
proposing to build into Louisiana
by way of Monroe in the Ouachi-
Ia valley. or by way of WINFIELD
INTO the Red river valley.
On this proposition Atlanta, in
VIM parish, and Verda, Colfax,
Paramount, Upper Village, in /
Grant, and Boyce, at once be-
came keenly alive. and accepted
the proposition and offered al.
laid out and approved ,
and practically half completed, I
n opposition to the Ouachita val
ey route, and this route was ac-i
:epted and approved by the Per- {
'hing Way promoters. That is
about all there is to the contro-I
7ersy. SO far asE olfaxfapd west

But our central asdeastG3 liant
friends appear tphave become Of /
Tended because we offered this {
'oute on behalf of Grant parish,
IS a route practically completed !
n in fair way to be completed.
They had no completed roads nor
of money to build them
n the immediate future. except

lid not occur until Tuesday,
