New Cigar Factory
Begins Operation

The local plant of the American
Cigar Company began operation on
last Friday and this week they have
about seventy women working in the
plant, who are being taught the
trade.
Just how many can be used at the
local plant has not been announced,
but the force will be increased from
time to time. Wages are being paid
to the women who are learning the
cigarmaker's trade, and when they
become proficient in the work they
win earn big money.
None Of the cigars now being made
will be offered for sale.
Within the next few months it is
expected the payroll at this plant will
amount to several thousand dollars
a month and add greatly to the pros
perity Of the city.

have cost the Great Southern Lum-

but taking into consideration the fact
that the mill inad operhsed for about
twelve years, day and night, without
ever having been shut down for re-
pairs, this great enterprise is not
considered abnormal or exorbitant.
The plant now has about 1900 at
work, exclusive, of course, of the
men in the woods operations. In the
logging camps there are employed be-
tween 1000 and 1900 men.
The paper mill is also doing good
work, with about $50 men employed.
Several days during the past month
cnis plant has broken previous high
records in production, on one occa-
sion making around 80 tons Of pulp
and 120 tons of paper in "a hours.

Amusement Park
Is Being Planned

Bogalusa has an excellent oppor.
tunity to have an amusement park
II present plans are carried out; the
park to be ready for operation by the
time summer arrives. The location
Of the park has been decided upon
and lease is now being drawn for
the land between the N. o. G. N.
trestle and Avenue B bridge. One Of
the main attractions will be an air
dome, where moving pictures and
vaudeville will be given. A merry
go-round and many other attractions
are planned and the park will have
attractions added from time to time,
after the promoters are certain that
they are going to break even. A
large part of the land will be cleared
and it is expected the grounds will be
an ideal place to hold Fourth of July
meetings and other big events.
Charles Webster is at the head of
the proposition and has had no trou-
bic in disposing of stock.

the citizens, if the ordinance is
passed on Saturday, March 20. In
order that all citizens can express
their views on this subject, the pro-
posed ordinance will be presented on
March 20 at / p. m.
Owners of stock have heretofore
objected to the taking away of the
great privilege which has been ex-
tended stock since the foundation Of
the city. They contend that if the
stock is not permitted to roam the
streets the dairy men will be forced
to raise the price of milk, and there
fore work great hardship upon the.
babies of the city. Others who own
cows have found it convenient to-
keep them as long as they car roam
the streets, and state that il would
work a hardship if compelled to keep
the cows up. All Of these facts are
expected to be brought out at the
special council meeting.

Sullivan is proven by the big values

home from the N. o. G. N. shops.
He lives at zoe Huron avenue. He
walked off the sidewalk at the place
where the landing was not good and
lost his footing, precipitating the fall
that broke his leg.
The fact that a man broke his leg
by falling off sidewalk need not
be used as an argument against hav-
