thirds of the benefit our parish

from the Great Southern Lumber
Co, and her interests, and good
ly portion of the remaining third
from other Bogalusa industries
and property. On Thursday las
1851 ,9S4.12 was received in taxes
from the following Bogalusa con
Germs: N. 0. &. N. Railroad S4S
10000; Great Southern Lumber

Outside of this total only

NORHICH ATHLETES.
OFF FOR BURLINGTON
There Are Some Good Performers for
the Vermont Intercollegiate
Meet Saturday.

Northfield, June 3--The Norwich uni
versity track team left to-day to par
ticipate in the first Vermont intereolle-
giate track meet TO be held in Burling-
ton tomorrow. As this is compare
tive new sport at Norwich little inter
est has been taken after the first meet
with st. Lawrence university. Norwich
sent representatives to the eastern in
tereollegiate meet held at Springfield
and finished in sixth place.
Summing up the seasons results it
is noticeable that Middlebury and
Vermont are stronger in the track
events while Norwich's main strength
lies in the field events. However, Jand
ron and Roby are looked up to place
in both the 440 and $50 runs, with Da .
Wis capable of placing in the distance
runs. Shepard of Vermont, sterling
performer in the $50, is looked upon as
a sure winner. Norwich has a fast
quartet to enter in the relay.
One of the big finds of the season is
Flanders, who has during the last two
weeks heaved the shot over Al feet and
thrown the discus well over a hundred.
Steele, captain of the track team, is
also a point winner in the same events
and this pair should clean up in their.
events. Steele placed second in the dis
Gus at the eastern collegiates; Flsg
ders took second in the shot. Tom Dig

first place. He also placed fourth in
the discus.

Norwich has two first class performers
in Belleose and Gibson, the former
being in class by himself in the high |
Jump and broad jump. while the latter
IS booked to do close to III feet in the 1
pole vault. Other men who are expect
