EdltOr evening NEWS:
1 was sorry to see you deviate
from your usual road of fairness and
impartiality in your negative editor
ial on Senator Krug's (Utah) resolu-
ton for a $4,000, 900 appropriation
for famine relief in Russia.
I think that the mere fact that
this most dreaded enemy of human
ity has stricken a country, the eco
nomic and political views of which
do not harmonic with ours, is the
only reason for your condemnation
of this most humane bill.
The $5,000,000 which is asked for
is indeed a very, very small sum,
when we remember thai our govern
ment spends at least ten times that
amount every year on useless inves-
legations, nieddling with private en-
terprises and a score Of other foolish
things.
Our yearly appropriations for the
army and navy are over a half a
billion dollars. Why not give one
per cent of this huge amount to save
millions of people from starvation?
Should our congress pass this bill
which I hope it will-the taxpay-
ers whom you have so righteously
and commercially defended in nu-
merous other cases would have little
reason for complaint. The per capita
tax would be less than five cents for
each person and child in the United
States. Surely few, If any, would
protest against such a small levy
for such an immensely great and
noble purpose, especially in a coun-
try of which one of the cardinal
principals is with malice toward
none, with charity to ALL"

PUBLIC OPINION
Foundation For New Bridge

EDITOR EVENING JEWS:
We note in your late issue that
soundings for the new bridge are to
be made to ascertain whether il is
possible to sink to bed rock for
foundations for piers.
There is nothing impossible to the
present day engineers.
But as we stated in a letter in
your columns some months ago
when an attempt was being made
to find bed rock in the river bed for
this state bridge, the many
wells the writer has drill
ed in nearby locations leads me
to state that bed rock Is below $50
feet. and under the very thick bed
of clay and other material on the
surface they will find a water sand
that will furnish millions of gallons
per day. This water sand at Cheese
brough is practically $50 below the
Copper Works.
AS 1 never had occasion to go be-
low the water sand 1 could not state
positively as to whether this water
sand lies Immediately on top of the
trap rock or not. But / do know
that the trap lies under Perth AM
boy. At Guggenheims at 80 feet, at
South River, on Main street at 14O
feet.
AS the formation dips 80 feet to
the south, on the south bank this
would place the trap at about $50
to 200 feet below the present ur-
face.
In making soundings so frequent
ly a shell of rock will be found. But
when real trap is found under the
clay here a few feet of green ware
will always be found on top. I have
drilled a number of wells to trap
in this county ana 1 have always
found these conditions to prevail.
Yours truly,
w. r. OSBORNE.

Building in this city and vicinity
continues to show a healthy condi-
ton. Not only are new buildings
now under construction, but repair
work on many buildings which AVE
needed attention for the past several
years has been started. During the
war building in general was slack,
one could count on their fingers the
buildings that were erected during
that time, but during the past two
months. building has begun to boom
and if the extreme cold weather
with snow and ice does not set in
too soon, it is likely that many more
new buildings will be started before
the first Of the year.
Some idea of the vast amount of
building now going on throughout
the country may be obtained from
the following which has been pre-
pared by the National Lumber Man
ufacturers' Association:
Building in the United States has
reached a point where the lumber
producers are already far behind
with orders. A compilation of the
figures of even big producing asso-
were 91,S12.000 feet or III per cent
below orders for the thirty-fve weeks
ending September g."
Work on buildings nov under con-
struction In this city is progressing
rapidly. The new show rooms and
garage of the Dorsey Motors, Inc,
Is being rushed to completion and
work is progressing nicely for the
new addition to the building at
Smith street and Madison avenue
which is to be constructed at once
by the Maple Realty Company. Work
a now started on the digging of
the cellar for this building and it Is
likely that work on the structure
itself will be started within a week
or ten days.
J Big Concrete Shed
:. One of the largest construction
| jobs to be brought to public atten-
ton during the past week, is the
edection by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in South Amboy, of a large con-
crete shed to hold twenty cars. This
shed which will cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 will be used for
a heating shed in which cars carry
ing coal from the mines to the docks
will be run in the winter time in or
der to thaw out the coal so 1t can
be dumped from the cars into the
steamers and barges. The shed,
which will be of solid concrete, will
take the place of a wooden shed
which was used for the same purpose
but burned down some years ago.
The new shed will be $50 feet long
and have two tracks accommodate
ing twenty cars. 1t will take three
months to complete the work.
Among the buildings which are
now being repaired and remodeled
is the Ross Store in Smith street, the
American building in Smith street
and the building occupied by the
Slater Shoe Store also in Smith street.
The alteration to the building occu-
pied by the Ross Store will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
The American building which is
the property of Joseph E. Stricken,
has been completely r~edecorated in
side, the offices and hallway were
painted and other repairs made.
Work has now boon started on the
rebuilding of the parapet wall on the
roof of the building. This wall was
cracked by the Morgan explosion and

new economic and political theory
which, in practice. has already fail
ed.

THE WILDsVILLE.NEW ERA
HIGHWAY.
Editor Concordia Sentinel.

Editor Concordia Sentinel.
Dear Sir:-The Cor struction OF
the Wildsville-New Era Highway ap-
pears to be the leading topic Of con-
versation among the people of the
nintk and tenth Wards; and, rightly
should be as these people have had
in the past such poor way to reach
our parish site. Some 8 miles in the
ninth and 6 miles in the tenth Wards
are now under course of construction
and, after the Police Jury meets on
the 5th of July and reestablishes
around Horse Shoe Lake that part
of this Highway that was ordered
changed by the Police Jury at its last
meeting, we will have under con-
struction some % miles of this 80
mile highway. The public will re-
member that at the last meeting of
the Police Jury a controversy arose
as to the proboble cost of building
that part of this highway which goes
around Horse Shoe Lake and Cross
Bayou, as established by the Highway
engineers last year; and, as this cost
appeared to be too high the Jury or
dered survey of the route now used
in Glow water times" to be made and
accepted as the most practical route,
but after the engineers had made a
partial survey they saw that this pro-
ject was absolutely impracticable and
too expensive and impossible to main
tain, and, as result, they condemned
the route and recommended the re-
establishing Of the route as surveyed
last year by the Highway engineers.
The original survey around Horse
Shoe Lake is one of the most beau
tiful to be seen in the state, and after
this road is once built it will open up
one of the most prosperous sections
of the parish, and the sightseeing
and pleasure-seeking public will drive
for miles to get view of the scenery
on this beautiful lake.
The width of this road has been
cut down from "a feet crown to Is
feet, in order to save money and this
width will serve all purposes for the
slime being; but when it is continued
into Avoyelles parish, which we hope
will be in the near future, it can be
made wider at very little additional
cost. The actual grading of this road
will approximate $1,000 per mile.
That part of this highway between
Silver Lake and Lum plantation |
known as the Tenth Ward Forty
Acre" road, measuring about one and
one-eighth miles will soon be complet- I
ed and then after the much needed T.
bridge is built over Wildcow bayou,
the public from there to the mouth |,
of Black River can come to Monterey /
at all times except when the country
is overfowed.
After this Highway is built the
pleasure-seeking public from Vidalia
and Natchez can come to Horse Shoe h
lake and Cross bayou and find one
of the best fishing grounds to be
found in either Louisiana or Missis-
sippi, and Uncle William Cross will
take great delight in showing them I
how to catch the different kinds of {
fish.
