| popular al a playground of the people
because of its accessibility TO the great
centers of wealth and population, and
because of its climate and its diyersi-
fled opportunities for sports and relax
alton.
1t is this section that is breaking the
Old Spanish Trail into two parts,
while at the same time keeping three
cities isolated from auto traffic and
social intercourse, and denying to the
four states the tourist riches that could
easily rival south Florida or the Cali
fornia coast. 1t likewise hurts Florida
and California, for the free flow of
travel from coast to coast over this
winter time highway will build up all
travel and help all sections. All terri
tory Of the Old Spanish Trail will reap
of the harvest as each section devel
ops its attractions by opening its high
ways. The Frost King of the North
will lose his subjects by tens of thou
sands when the Sun God of the South
blesses a completed Old Spanish Trail.
TO cure this situation a Gulf Coast
Road conference is being called for
March 90 and 81 by the civic organiza-
tions of Mobile. The highway officials
of the states are invited, also the
county and city officials OF the district
and representatives of civic and other
organizations The Highway Commits
sion of Alabama meets in Mobile on
those dates, so the conference will take
on important phases.
The section OF the Old Spanish Trail
from Tallahassee to New Orleans viii
be embraced in this conference, and
sections northward where common
interest exists. Louisiana and Alabama
are now financed with state funds to
carry through a highway program.
These states and the state of Missis-
sippi, are planning to bring the trunk
lines from the north down through
their states, and these trunkline feed
ers will be among the questions before
the conference.
The conference is to be construc- |
tive celebration of the passage of Ala
bama's $4,000, 900 road bond law and
Mobiles so to / vote for those bonds, |
coupled with the desire of Mobile and
of Old Spanish Trail officials to see
this Gulf Coast boulevard project ac-
cepted and pressed to completion. Mo-
bile, too, has her bay delta eight miles
long to be bridged.
1t is not the idea to get a number
of highways agreed upon and none of
them finished, but to coordinate effort
to build this basic Gulf Coast highway
and to complete the necessary feeders

Louisiana and Texas are separated
by the Sabine river. Lake Charles
(Calcasieu parish) has most of her
road paved, but at the river approach
is another section of grief. The Sa-
bine river when at flood is three or
more miles wide. That is another of
those serious drainage areas because
the OST keeps close to the gulf and in
tends to open to the people sections
that will always be their Fairgrounds
At Orange, on the Texas side, Sep
TENDER 2sth, a conference was held of
the people from Lake Charles to Hous-
ton. This, under the leadership of
Mayor w. E. Lea, vice president of the
OST for that section, and those people
went home thrilled with the spirit and
vision of the Old Spanist Trail.
Lake Charles acted first. She voted
$3.50, 900 to build to the bridge with a.

Yet the Old Spanish Trail through
Louisiana is building, and the day
should now come soon when New Or

Because New Orleans lies on the
Mississippi river, and all that land is
ancient delta, the trails of ancient days
did not go as the highway of today
must go, but swung further north

capitals of Louisiana, at Biloxi and at
Mobile, before Bienville had the cour-
age to plant on the lower Mississippi
river the metropolis of the new terri

that section. As the market place of
the Mississippi valley, whose channels
reach a half Of the continent, New Or
leans became a melting pot of the races
that conquered the new world. French,
Spanish and English periods all left
their indellible impress; today the
Crescent City is quite truthfully
spoken of as the Paris of America"
The Old Spanish Trail of today, true
to its principle of building where the
people want travel is forcing itself
across the delta and through New Or
leans and along the bayous and the
plantations of South Louisiana. APP

the delta conditions are encountered
at the Mississippi Louisiana line, Pearl
river. This is the most serious section
on the OST. It is a problem for the
great city of New Orleans and the
state to solve. Now, under the new
highway law, it is a state project. If
they will make this one of their first
projects they win open the way to
transcontinental travel. A year ago
the people of Slidell, in this district,
with remarkable unanimity and spirit,
voted $500 and offered it as their
pledge of cooperation.
Across this Pearl river delta or
swamp are four miles; then come 10
miles through Slidell to the Rigolets,
