THROUGH SERVICE
GULF COAST LINES
SYSTEM RE-EsTA5LlsHES CALL
FoRNIA TRAIN IN CONNECTION
WITH SANTE FE

Announcement was recently made
by the New Orleans office of the Gulf
Coast lines that through sleeping car
service from that city to California
had been re-established in connection
with the Sante Fe system, out OF Hous
ton. This service was discontinued
during the war period, and its re-es-
tablishment means thta more eastern
travel to the Pacific coast will take
the southern route as the Sante re
is recognized as one of the most pic
turesque routes in the entire country.
The train from Houston travels via
the new Sante Fe Coleman cutoff
through western Texas, and gets on
main line of the Santa, Fe at Clovis,
New Mexico. This new route is said
to be the shortest one between New
Orleans and the west coast, and gives
the traveller the opportunity to view
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, in
Arizona, reputed to be one of the won
ders of the world The Grand Can.
yon is reached by getting off the main
line train at Williams, Arizona, and
taking the branch line to the canyon g
rim, seventy miles north of the main
track.

FROST ON MONDAY
FINISHES COTTON
OLD JACK GETS REST OF PLANTS
LEFT BY RECENT VISITATION
ANIL BIG FLOODS

A heavy frost on Monday morning
about finished up the cotton crop
throughout this section-all that was
left of the crop by the previous frost
and the recent big floods went up
under the biting breath of the un
seasonable cold. Farmers that is,
many Of them had planted the Sec
ond time and will now have to plant
again if they intend to grow a cotton
crop this year. Planting seed is grow
ing scarce and those who have none
are busy scouting around in search
of supply.
Corn, already well advanced, looks
sick as a result of the cold, accord
ing to farmers, and it will require
some very warm weather to get it
started off growing again. Gardens,
truck patches, melons and potatoes
also suffered as a result Of the frost
and some plants, like snap beans,
were almost ruined.

to be attached to the huge machines.
The two generators had not arrived
up to Sunday, though they were ship

DOC BURGESS DIES
In new ORLEANS
PASSED AWAY AT HOME OF HIS
SON MONDAY; FUNERAL HELD
IN BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI

The many friends of "'Doc" w. H.
Burgess win be panied to learn Of his
death whcih occurred at the home OF
his son, Ed. Burgess, in New Orleans,
Monday morning. The funeral was
held Tuesday at Biloxi, Mississippi,
where he once lived and where ne
married. Mr.. w. H. Fem, presently
of Opelousas and warm personal
friend of the deceased, received the
telegram announcing the passing Of
Mr.. Burgess and Immediately left foE
New Orleans to attend the last cere
monies over the remains.
doc" Burgess came to Opelousai
quite number of years ago. Durint
his long residence here he gathered
about him a large circle of friends
and 1t was always his great deligh
to entertain them in every way pos
sible. A native of Canada, he mig
rated to the United States in hi
early manhood and Travelled exten
sively in the south and resided for ;
time in one of the central American
republics. He always remained, how
ever, a citizen OF Canada, never tai
ng out naturalization papers in tn
United States.
Highly educated, scientist, philo
sopher and doctor of medicine, b.
failed to practice his calling and con
fined his earthly activities to pursuit
more akin to manual labor, though hi
intimate friends long ago knew tina
his abilities and attainments entitle,
him to a higher place in the world
endeavors. Always temperate, thougl
never a fanatic, he preached the doc
trine of moderation in all things. Hi
keen insight on things material furr
:shed him with ample arguments t
back up his opinions. He will b
much missed by his legion Of friend
in Opelousas and his place as FRIEND
adviser, repairman in this communit
will indeed be hard to fill. Peace I
his ashes!

Will SHORTLY LET
CONTRACT FOR The
FJNCE GRAVEL ROAD
~ Connect Opelousas With
Thriving Town in West
St. Landry
nJTLDTNG HIGHWAY
SHORTENS DISTANCE
Parallels Railway From
f,awtell to Near the Town
of Eunice

rho contract for construction OF
80 modern highway connecting ope
,onsas and Eunice will shortly be
let.
II will be built according to speci-
ao.+,ons and then hardsurfaced with
graveL After completion it will
shorten the route between this city
and the west St. Landry town many
n;les as it will follow generally the
culf Coast Lines track from Lawtelel
70 Eunice, thus eliminating the wide
ao4onr from Lawtell via PrudhOmme
csy which is fully five or six miles
,nger than the new route.
The part of the road from Opelou-
sss to Lawtell was graveled several
wears ago and it will only be necess-
arv to build from the last named
place to Eunice which is a distance
of fifteen or sixteen miles. The road
from Opelousas to Lawtell is in pref
~ fair condition but may have to be
touched up in some places in order
ID place it on the same plane as the
new road which is to be constructed,
according to modern ide2s.
The route of the road after leav-
ne Eunice will be south OF the
railroad track and follow
the side into Lawtell. There
viii be several miles of the road
through the Mallet woods and it is
stated that there will be some mod
erately heavy constructor in this par
ticular place. No extremely costly
bridges will have TO be constructed,
as the largest bridge will undoubted-
" be over Bayou Mallet, whcih runs
lust west of the village of Lawtell
After fIoundering in the mud for
many years, the town Of Eunfce IS
lust about to complete a splendid
system of gravel streets. Contractor
Dawson did the work and parties who
have been in Eunice lately state that
the work has been accomplished in
splendid manner. The drainage OF the
town, according to these same parties,
Is Of such nature that all surplus
water runs off rapidly. Several OF
the principal thoroughfares have been
gravelled from curb to curb while the
less important side streets have only
been gravelled about nine feet in the
center.
It is a great improvement to the
town and eliminates the old boggy
streets that were very much in evil
dence during every wet spell. The
filthy and unsanitary condition oi
the towns bitches, state recent visi
tors, are a thing of the disagreeablf
past and concrete drains quickly take
the water away. Eunice citizens saw
the benefit to be derived from placing
their town in better shape and vot
ed taxes in order to get the worh
under way, and that work is nov
about completed.

DAMAGE SUIT FILED
AGAINST OPELOUSAS
BY BAQUE FAMILY
Claim Nineteen Thousand
Dollars of Municipality
For Death of Son
COURT ECHO OF BOYS
RECENT ACCIDENT
Formidable Array of Legal
Talent Represents the
Plaintiff in Case

Edmond Baloue and wife, citizens
OF this city, last weeek instituted )
civil action against the city Of Opelou-
sas, claiming nineteen thousand aol-
lars damages because OF the electro
cution of their son Freddie, which oe-
Cured in this city several weeks ago
as result of coming in contact with
disloged high-voltage electric wire
while making his rounds delivering
groceries for the store by which hs
was employed.
The plaintiffs in the suit have en-
ployed a formidable array OF legal
talent to represent them in the case
and push the matter to quick con
clusion. Messrs. Dudley L. GuiIbeau.
l.. Austin Fontenot and Alex "
Swords of the Opelousas bar are their
representatives, while the side Of the
city will be looked after by City At
torney Peyton r. Sandoz, though Il
is believed the beard Of aldermem
will employ additional legal counsel
to assist Mr. Sandoz in defending tie
municipality in the big suit.
The electrocution Of young Balque
is OF so recent occurrence that the
details of the affair need not be gone
through with. Following so soon a.
ter the death by the same cause d
Superintendent Aymond and the ai-
most fatal accident which befell the
Lacombe children at the Sanders
store on North Market street brought
such a wave Of excitement that o
public massmeeting of the citizens
was called for two weeks ago and
a large body Of men andsa few ladies
assembled in the parish court house
to discuss the electric light situa-
tion and try and devise some means
whereby cooperation with the boarsk
Of aldermen might prove Of benefit
in eliminating the menace Of fallen
wires threatening human life.
AS a result Of that meeting a com
mittee of five, Messrs. D. L. Guilbeaa
e. M. Boagnd, H. U. Callahan, 3. 3
Dubuisson and L. e. Littell, was sci
ected to meet with the board of Al
dermen and take the matter up with
out further delay, the massmeetini
realizing that any future accident
like the one that befell the Balqu
boy would result in other suits g
damages against the city.
That committee, it is understool
promptly took up the matter at issu
with the aldermen but so far no pul
lie report of its tranaction have bee
made. However, the city has sine
then lost no time in putting crews G
men to work in replacing the old an
dangerous wires with new ones, an
in order to facilitate the work
hand has practically cut out all de-
service at the plant, only turning Q

ternoon. The crews Of l.1emen 81
making good headway with the strtnl
ing of new wires and patrons can e
