Only the home readers Of the Echo
have anything like a correct idea Of the
extent Of the vast business transacted

rarely eQualed facilities at their com
maud for conducting the various
branches connected with their milling
interests. The firm owns and controls
tour saw mills and two Single mills
and cut on all average Of J25 900 feet
of lumber per day, daylight run. They
have what is termed a steam log rail
road, built on the principal exactly of
a narrow gauge railroad. Five miles
of the road is complete and in regular
running order. Tue road is extended
as fast as the available timber is ex-
hausted, enabling them to put in any
required length and size of timber Oh
short notice, and owning large amount
of sail transportation, enables them to
contract for coast delivery with a Ger
tainty not surpassed, il equaled, by

capital, well earned and well deserved

Last Saturday morning, between the
hours Of and 9 o'clock, u most heart
rending accident, by which Louis
Venable, hard working young man
met q shocking death, occurred at the
Eclipse shiDgle mil, near this place
AS near us We can ascertain them, the
particulars are about these: The IN
fortunate man was on the carriage,
scrHping off the rubbish with his foot,
when suddenly, unmind ful of his close
proximity to the saw, his foot was
cuugut by tue latter, which threw linn
down and he fell with his left shoulder
iii ectlY upon the saw. The arm and
shoulder We're instantly severed from
the body, causing dea b in about
twenty minutes. After the accident,
the young man asked for drink Of
water, and seemed at loss to know
what happened him. He realized that
death was near, however. and asked
that his father he telegrapled of bis
fate This was done, but no reply up
to the time Of his burial had been re-
ceived. An inquest WAS held by Jus
tice NJ. NJ Singleton and verdict
rendered il u'cordauce with tue facts
above. OF and on, Louis Nenable
hal been resident Of this vicinity
some five or SIX Years. He was well
liked by his associates aul bore 4 good

MERMENTAr STATIoN, July 10, 1883.
Editors Lake Charles Echo:
Your comment on my letter of Ju,v
I'd, is liable to create the impression
that because the railroad company has
bridged the Mermentau, anyone has
h right to do tile same with any of the
blyous above. The idea that wished
to convey was, that money expended
on a bridge across Nespique would
more than likely be loss to the two
parishes.
That the Mermentau bridge is an OBJ
struction to navigation is a question
for interested parties to have decided
That wa, citizens of Calcasieu and St.
Landry, have right to express our
opinion, you will not deny.
st. Landry is called the banner parish
because of the strength it carries in au
election Our section is but a mite.
but We add our mite to the whole, III
protesting against unnecessary expeu-
ses. We would he like Calcaseu, free
of debt. Respectfully yours,
p. W. O'SULIvAE.
1t is quite apparent that our CORES
pondent opposes the bridging of the
Nespiqne. The Echo is not sufficiently
enlightened to express an opinion, and
did not intend, in its comment on Mr..
O,Sullivan's note Of last week. to insin-
uate that because the railroad COM
pany has bridged the Mermentau, any
one has right TO do the same with
any Of the bayous above" Our com
ment did not justify such a cOnstruc-
