Destructive Fire.

Lake Charles Echo, Nov. 27th.l
The fire at Lake Charles last Thurs
day was the first, OF any Importance,
for great many years, and nothing but
heroic labor and the fact that scarcely
any wind was blowing, prevented it
from sweeping over several squares OF
the main business street of the town.
1t broke out about p. H., in Oscar Ly-
ons' saloon, on Ryan street, opposite
the Haskell House, from the explosion
of gasoline lamp in the hands of Mr..
Amedee Farque. The flames instantly
came into contact with highly intiama-
bic liquors, and several persons in the
adjoining room had scarcely time to
rush out at the back door, one dragging
Mr.. Farque with him. In few min
ntcs the saloon, the building joining it
on the south, occupied by Mr.. Lyons
and his family, the store building join
ing the saloon OH the north, owned by
Mr.. Bernard Sweeny, and the barber
shop, south Of tho building occupied by
consumed. The fire engine was given
it's first chance at a fire in our town. and
this, with almost superhuman efforts
by the multitude, in tearing down and
removing fences and ontbuiliings, car
rying water and wctting roofs, alone
saved the residence and drug store OF
Hon. VIM. Meyer. All the buildings on
the opposite side of the street, j. w
Bryan g. Co.'S store and the adjoining
buildings, and the stable and other out
buildings of Capt. Green Hall in the
rear Of the fire, were saved only by
keeping the roofs deluged with water
~ burning cinders were constantly
falling on them. We regret we have
not space this week TO notice
appropriately the labors of large mum.

STATE OF LOUISIANA.
Parish of St Landry.
In the name and by the authority OF tie
State of Louisiana, tho Grand Jurors Of the
State of Louisiana, duly impannced sworn
and charged to inquire within and for the
parish OF st. Landry, State aforesaid, especially
charged to inquire into the condition Of the
public roads aud bridges in the parish Of St.
Landry have after diligent inquiry from the
different parts of ti:c parish, have come to the
unanimous conclusion that all the public roads
and bridges within the parish of Landry are in
very bad order and condition, and that the
work on said roads and bridges has been sadly
n elected by the officers in charge thereof.
They would recommend that the small bridges
over bitches and small couies intersccting the
public highways be made wider, for they are at
present so narrow that the crossing of them is
sometimes dangerous. And whereas it is some
times impossible for s0lEc OF the road Ovcrsecrs
to procure the necessary tools for the working
OF public roads, they would recommend to the
police jury Of the parish of st. Landry to anlcud
the road ordinance in this: THAT the parish
furnish the tools absolutely necessary for the
working of the public rOads.l In every other
respect they Recommend n strict and rigid
enforcement of all laws and ordinances relative

Rice Culture.

The production OF rice, which has
increased so rapidly in tho last two or
three wears, is destined soon to be one
Of the greatest industries in
southwestern Louisiana. The immense
country from here to the gulf OF Mexico
and from the Bayou Teche nearly to
the Sabine river, is mainly prairie, and
covered with marshes suitable for grow
ing rice. 1t is traverscd from north to
south by navigable streams, and by
two railroads east aud west. Rice as
crop, is certain; provided there is Il
supply of water. In wet years like the
present, there is no difficulty about that.
Even in dry years enough water can
always be secured from the winter rains
for the first flooding in the spring. If
wells wore dug in the rice fields-they
would not have to be deep in the
marshes-and pumped Ivy windmills, the
water from the first flooding, that is
lost by evaporation, could be supplied,
and the crop thereby made u certainty
even in dry season. The crop needs
no cultivation. The land requires fen
cling and ditching or leveeing; then
plant the rice and keep it properly sup
piled with water, and nothing more is
to be done till harvest time. 1t can be
quickly harvested. 1t has no enemies
like cotton, nor is it subject to be ruined
by cold like cane. No crop in this
section will pay as we'll with so little
labor. All the capital required to begin
rice culture, is years provisions, a
shanty, the fencing, spade, horse or
mule, plow and harrow. Public land
can be used. With these single able
bodied man, with no misfortune be-
falling him, can make himself an inde-
pendent farmer the first year, if tho
rains are propitious. Single laboring
men, with but little capital, who intend
making their living by tilling the soil,
would do well to consider this matter.
The culture of rice requires so little
of the years work, that the production
of other crops, such as corn, peas, pota-
toes, etc, would not be interfered with.
Besides, the prairie part of Louisiana,
can not be e1celled as range for live
stock. We do not think there is any
country where immigrants, with some
capital, could do better than here.
