Visitor Greatly
Admiires Bogalusa

Bogalusa is such a quaint I'M
northern sounding name that many
INQUIRE how the hamlet at the ore
concentration got its name. At the
time the ore concentration was built.
the American Bridge Company, had
lust finished work at Bogalusa,
Louisiana. Most of the men employed
came either from Mississippi or
Louisiana. They were a fine lot of
young men and left only favorable
impression. These men chose their
camp by the big spring close to the
lake, and a most beautiful place it
was at that time, and they said it re-
minded them of Bogalusa, and Be-
galusa they called it. The following,
taken from a trade journel, has some
things to say about the original BOga-
lusa, which we reprint, as because Of
association, it may be of interest:
"Bogalusa is a town that has
achieved permanency by sheer fore
sight. 1t is only fifteen years old,
yet is a real city of $4,000 people and
"Back in 1905 Col. w. H. Sullivan,
seeking a site for a lumber-camp
town, decided on a sandy flat along
the Bogue Lusa, a sluggish Louis
lana stream, and named the town b.
galusa.
''His company owned a vast acre
age around the townsite, and the plan
was to follow the old method of cut
ting of the timber, then moving
along the cut-Over lands until the en-
tire track was stripped Of its timber,
the process usually taking about
forty years.
'But the people who came to Boga-
lusa liked the place. 1t was, they said,
an ideal site for a great city. Sandy
soil and the pine woods made it one
of the most healthy spots in the en-
tire country.
"The lumber mill owners, seeing
the opportunity of doing much big
ger thing than merely cutting ire
medous quantities Of timber, decided
to give the infant town chance to
live. Accordingly, an immense re-
forestration plan was worked out, and
put into operation. AS fast as the
timber was cut, new trees were
planted on the cut-Over lands, and
before the entire tract is exhausted
there will be new young trees ready
for cutting. Thus, Bogalusa has be-
come the center of large lumber
producing tract, as well as a lumber
saving town.
To-day Bogalusa is thriving city,
with a sawmill which has a capacity
of over a million feet Of lumber a
day, two banks, numerous stores, a
great creamery, and stock farm,
which has acquired 1000 acres Tor
DEVELOPMENT, a creosoting plant, a
large paving brick plant, a veneer
plant, hardwood mill, and 60O-ton
paper mill. 1t makes its own power by
burning waste material. In addition,
a box factory, and mills for making
shingles, lath and slaves are all de-
voted EXCLUSIVELY to utilizing waste
lumber.
besides its industries, Bogalusa
has good streets, a splendid sewer
system, artesian well water, a motor,
lied paid fire department, beautiful
Y. NJ. C. A. and Y. w. C. A. build
ings, five hotels, including one large
one with a golf course and other at
fractions for tourists, and an ag-
gressive Chamber of Commerce.
"Best of all, thanks to the fact
that Bogalusa is run by business men,
it has a tax rate of only two and one
half cents per 500 of property. -

 Under the new arrangement the charge for electric current will be 30 cents per k. W. hour, instead of 20 cents, with sliding scale for large consumers, increased propor- tionately. With rates increased and operating costs reduced, it is be- lieved the power plant can he op- erated successfully, but much will depend upon the willingness of the public to give generously of it's support
 Under the terms of the contract the Commission binds itself to pay minimum of s1,5o0 per month. during the duration of the contract And no charge is made for the lse of the power plant.
 A charge of one dollar each will be made by the Commission for all telephones in use, in the form of rental
 Bert Berry has been retained by the company to look after all of the electrical work, at both plants.
 Should it be decided by the town later to incorporate, it is the plan of those responsible for the present arrangement, to take over the man. agement of the public service plants as a municipal proposition. Other wise the coal company probably will continue to manage them under a renewal of the present contract. .
 Manager Donaldson came in from Healy last week to arrange for the transfer and has been busily en- gagged during the past two days getting the enterprise launched. He will return to Healy tomorrow and be back in town again probably on Saturday. ... The committee representing the town as parties to the contract, Is composed of Tom Smith, W. A. Coghill, Charles Bergman, Villa Rodigkeit and Mayor Joe O'Connvr.

While the selection of Cecil H. Clegg and Bert Stevens, to be dis trict judge and marshal. respectively of this division, was not strictly in accordance with the rules, if one takes party organization into ac- count, The News feels that the ap- pointments, which were announced in dispatches received from the na- tional capital yesterday, have met with very general satisfaction in Nenana, at least, where both ap- pointees have many friends and supporters. MT. Stevens is a member of the Nenana Republican club and both appointees have been resi- dents of the Northland for many years. Guy B. Erwin, who has been selected by the President for the office of district attorney, also is ar oldtimer and is highly esteemed by all who know him.
 The News is glad the question of appointments in this division has been settled, and in a manner so generally satisfactory. for now per haps it will be possible for the war ring Republican factions to get to- gether and to work in harmony for the general good of the division an1 of the party

PUBLIC SERVICE PLANTS ARE
 TAKEN OVER BY THE TOWN

In accordance with the terms of an agreement entered into by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, the Healy River Coal Corporation and g committee of citizens repre- senting the town of Nenana, the electric power and telephone plants, heretofore operated by the Commis- sion, came into temporary possession of the Healy River Coal Corpora ton yesterday, and will be operated by that company during the next two months, and longer in the event of a renewal of the agreement The papers were signed on Friday and R. s. Donaldson, manager of the coal company, is now directing the two public. service plants.
 The change in management has not resulted in any material changes at the power plant as yet, but 1t is planned to make such changes later as will reduce the cost of operation.

Tony O'Mal- ley has been placed in general charge of the plant and it will be largely up to him to figure out the economies of operation which will be necessary to insure the success of the enterprise
