The Drainage District and the Protection
LeYeea.

The total area within the limits of this
city, to be drained under the new and ex-
tended system whielr has been inaugurated
by the present administration, amounts to
26,026 acres. The area now partially and
poorly drained from the river to the Metal
RE and Gentilly ridges amounts to 14,lOS
acres. The space yet to be redeemed from
the dominion Of marsh and overflow amounts
to 1918 acres, of which large body of un-
reclaimed land 1918 acres lies on the lake
shore and 4750 on this side of the Metairie
and Gentilly ridges.
In order to drain and make inhabitable
all OF this extensive region of swamp. the
Administrator of improvements, Mr.. John
Cockrem, aided by the efficient cooperation
of City Surveyor William II. Bell, is work
ing with a will, and with means that will,
within two years, dry up the swamps and
make glad the waste places that lie between
the ridge and the shores of Lake Pontchar-
train.
There are now six dredgeboats at work
and two steam derricks, and three addi-
tional dredgeboats will be put to work in
two weeks, making total of nine at work,
with their powerful engines scooping out
the drainage canals from twelve to fifteen
feet deep and from forty-fve to sixty-fve
feet in width.
The canals are provided with water
wheels, driven by steam engines, which lift
out the water as fast as it accumulates.
The dredgeboats and steam derricks do
a double duty, for while they excayate the
canals, the exhumed earth is deposited on
the banks, forming the protection levees.
The upper protection levee, from above
Carrollton to the lake, is to be five miles
long, with base of seventy-five feet. The
lower levee, in the Third District, is to have
a base Of like dimensions, and will be seven
and halt miles long. That fronting the
lake will be four miles long. with ninety
feet base. This will give sixteen and half
miles of continuous embankment, wide
enough on the top for double-track rail
way and shelroad.
1t is expected that all these improvements
will be completed within the next two years,
and persons of speculative ideas are looking
forward to the time when al that broad ex-
tent of land in the rear of the Metairie and
GENTLY ridges, now covered with marsh
and dense underground, will be intersected
with street car railways and dotted with
cottages, the homes of thriving pOpula-
ton.
Grumblers may object, that this great en-
terprise will cost too much; but, on the
other hand, they are met with the argument
that the clearing up of the swamps will add
greatly to the health of the city, while it will
insure the spread of population, and increase
the city's income, by adding to the taxable
value of the property drained.
When the projected improvements shall
have been even partially completed, the
city will have chance to grow-and it will
grow

ELECTION RIOT IN NEW MEXICO.
Thirty-seven Killed and Wounded-Re-
publican Candidate Killed.

SANTA FE. September 3.-The Post of yes
terday had the following correspondence
from Lamsilla:
The election excitement in this village
eliminated in the worst atfray ever wit
messed here. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the Plaza has been literally drenched
with human blood. At the present writing
tSunday evening, the twenty-seventh) it is
known that seven persons have been killed,
while it is estimated that the wounded
reaches as high as thirty. of whom seven or
eight are mortally. From five O'Clock this
afternoon till six the Plaza resOunded with
pistol shots and groans. For fifteen min
utes the firing was incessant, and continued
during the rest of the hour.
The Republ blican and Democratic parties
had each selected to-day as the most suit
able time for the grand demonstration of
the campaign, and at an early hour this
morning both parties commenced their pre-
parations. The leaders were evidently
desirous of avoiding disturbances. The re-
spective parties formed in procession and
passed each others place of meeting with
out an outbreak. Nothing happened till
the meetings had adjourned. At 5 ?. NJ,
both parties met in the Plaza, exchanging
different views. A pistol shot was fired,
when the general fight occurred. Men, wo-
men and children hurried to their houses,
but the fight was kept up from windows
and housetops the dead and wounded fall
ing on all sides.
Hon. John Lemon, Republican candidate
for Judge, was first killed. The balance of
the killed and wounded are mostly Mexi-
cans.
Another fight took place at Antonchico,
near Los Vegas, in which two persons were
killed and six or seven wounded.
The people are terribly excited here, but
everything is being done to preserve peace
and good order.
