The TI I as S eiI ST. JOSEPH, - - - LA. 8UUSCR IPTIOI TARLY FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1914. For District Judge. I hereby announce my candilacy for the office of Judge of the Tenth Ditrict Court for the term of Judge John Dale, resigned, subject to the action of the white Democrat, in the District in the primary to be called. If I am elected, I shall perform the duties of the office to the best of my ability, with fairness and impartiality. N. M. CALHOUN. Vidalia, La., January 10th, 1914. MEllT MIImmN AC M. The bill passed by the United States Senate and now before the House of Representatives will in all likelihood become a law and it will mark the beginning of a national railway system by the United States Forty million dollars out of the public treasury for the construction of the work makes up the sum to he appropriated for its construction. The highest cost for railroad con struction in the United States is about $60,000 a mile. Forty millions will build over 600 miles of road, which would penetrate a consider able distance .into the country. There are at present in Alaska some 460 miles of railway built by private companies .and owned by them. In order to bring them all into harmony the United States may buy them and carry on business as the owner of 1,000 miles of railroad. Alaska has several 'seaports, and while those on the Arctic Ocean are for a great part of the time locked in ice, the Pacific ports are kept open by the warm current which flows up from the south. There are already several steamship lines operating to the ports of Alaska and besides gold the country has coal. Coal eartainly conmes in handy in as cold a country as Alaska. pN'rSEEI P $I KUSUATIC EI Eaml COMI St. Joseph, La., Jan. 26, 1914.
