Y. f arrived in Bogalusa Saturday evening for a week's visit. Mr. Cooke Î3 chairman of the board of directors of the Marine Bank and Trust Company, one of the greatest financial institutions in America.

NOTABLE VISITOR SPENDS THREE DAYS HERE Eogalusa was honored by a visit from a distinguished guest this week when Ambassador K. Lubomirski, ac companied by Mrs. Lubomirski, were the guests of Colonel A. C. Goodyear. Ambassador Lubomirski has repre sented Poland at Washington for two and a half years and when inter viewed at his suite at the Pine Tree j Inn he was frank in stating that he [found the work of operating sawmills j more interesting than the life of a I diplomat. Ambassador Lubomirski stated the I Polish people of the present genera I tion will always have a loving remem | brance of Col. A. C. Goodyear, presi ! dent of the Great Southern Lumber ! Company, who, after the signing of jthe armistice that ended the world war, was sent to Poland where he was the personal representative of Her bert Hoover of the Food Administra tion. "Colonel Goodyear Impressed my people with his genius, his consider ation, his cleverness, his ability and the service he rendered Poland was truly invaluable. My country is grateful to him because he rendered such service when she was surrounded by enemies and when conditions were indescribable. Colonel Goodyear, not once, but on many occasions, did great things for Poland. The Bolshe viki were giving us trouble on the east and Germany on the west at, that time." Prior to engaging in the diplomatic work, Ambassador Lubomirski was engaged in the sawmill business and now owns vast tracts of pine, spruce, oak and ash timbers. He said there were 30,000,000 acres of timber in his country at present, Last year three and a half billion feet were cut for export, and from this one may realize the magnitude of the lumber industry in that country. The ambassador visited the plant of the Great Southern Lumber Company and was amazed at its magnitude. He said Bogalusa impressed him as be ing the most progressive and perma nent city he had ever seen where the lumber industry was the principal oc cupation, and he predicted Bogalusa would develop into a large manufac turing city. Mr. Lubomirski proved to be most democratic and is not affected by hia important diplomatic position. t Mrs. Lubomirski is a lady of pleas- ing personality and regretted that her stay in Bogalusa w*a so short that *he was not able to meet the ladiet of the city. -o—- Bridge Turning Machinery In Place Work on the Pearl river bridge, at i the foot of Louisiana avenue, is pro ! pressing rapidly since the arrival of .the steel work last week. The turn ! ,n g machinery has been installed in ; the center and the girders and plates j for the bridge are here and are being placed in position. j It is believed the bridge will be ready for dedication to the public ' within the next five or six weeks, and since the Board of Supervisors of Pearl River County have made ar rangements to built the 1800-foot ap proach to the bridge on the Missis Isippi side the swamp can be traveled ':®t flood stage. The road on the other side of the approach will also be | ra 'Z.^ d to a corresponding height. The new highway law passed at the last session of the State Legislature provides for the construction of roads over the state to link up the par ish seats of Louisiana and with the J construction of these highways it will f 'ôo possible for motorists to travel anywhere in the state on excellent roads. Five thousand miles of roads will be built under this plan and every city and town of any size in the state will be affected by the high ways, and Bogalusa, located on the Mississippi Valley Highway and con nected with Franklinton and other points in the parish, will be a center for the tourists. SALESMEN CARRY OFF FINE LOVING CUPS The fivs days' session of the sales men of ths Great Southern Lumber Company, held here last week, was marked with many entertainment features, one of the most interesting being the blind handicap golf tourna ment, which resulted in Roscoa Bridges, the hustling St Louis repre sentative, winning the eoup offered by Col. A. C. Goodyear. R. E. Stone, of the local sales office, kept at home the one presented by G. A. Townsend, while G. A. Poteet, of Indianapolis, won the cup presented by W. H. Sul livan.
