oaks one might while away whole hours in plea
sing reyeries, being only now and then interrupted
by the lowing of the browsing kline in the distant
farming establishments toward the GENTLY settle.
hlent, Here under these ancient arbors formed
by the thick foliage of the forest trees the meri
dian SIM, even in the hot August month, could not
deprive She soioumer Of the refreshing summer
breezes; aye, cooling were these retired aud clois
tered spots when everything outside their precincts
sustained the broiling rays of tropical sun.
When this suburb was laid out in 1910 or there
abouts no doubt its planners like that of the sub
urb St. john imagined that the then increasing
trade and commerce upon tile bayou and lake
would soon elevate this locality into considerable
commercial Importance. This, no doubt, would
have been the case, had not just then the war,
breaking out in 1872, first interfered with the pro
jected improvements and when, after the war in
1916, the enlargement and deepening of the canal
Carondelet was undertaken, that change of the
primitive programme altered the destination of
these suburban outlets.
Before this time, that is in 1910, the United
States government had made the town of Bayou
ST. John port of entry for the lake trade
there had even been laid out navy yard, and

of lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, had there

Importance but, as stated already all these ex

complete alteration in the course of lake naviga-
ton. At the present time the small fishing village
which we have seen so thriving, at the mouth of
the Bayou st. John, presents, indeed, tile most
