We we're informed on last We'd
nesday, by Mr.. c. II. Withers, sub
contractor for building the Kayosche
Coulec bridge, that he intended la
commence work on the bridge the
next day Thursday, and if the
weather continued good he thought
he would be able to complete the bridge
within Is days. The delay in be- in
ming this work was caused by the bad
weather we have been having for The
past two weeks. This bridge is a very
important piece of work aud one that
is essential in expediting travel to and
from our town, and should be pushed
to an early completion.

our Climate Suits thcrn Better.


In letter to Mr.. ]. b. Watkins,
from Denver, Colorado, of April %,
in which a party was making inquiry
as to whether Colorado lands or Den.
yer lots could be exchanged for lands
in this vicinity, we find the following
expression in reference to our section:
"That climate" speaking Of South
west Louisiana, "suits me better to
live in than this. We had foot of
snow Tuesday, and on Thursday 90
inches more, and still showing"
While our Northern friends are
housed up, "snowed in" as it we're, we
of Calcasieu are enjoying the lovely
springtime, eating vegetables from our
gardens, beef from our green prairies
and rcvrling in everything else in
Keeping.
We are constantly receiving letters
from the Northwest asking iniorma-
tion as to this section, and from this
it may be readily seen that the inhab-
itants of a great portion of the colder
States are looking to Southwestern
Louisiana as more inviting field for
the investment of capital and the prof
liable pursuit of Legitimate industries.
We say let them come and help us to
develop the great hidden resources of
Calcasieu and Southwest Louisiana, as
there is room for all those who desire
TO work and help themselves.

are glad to be able to say that all of

damage to rice farmers, other than
setting them back somewhat in plant

If our Northern friends desire
good homes and farms, where they
can make a good living; where the
people are not divided into cliques
and classes; where they can raise
almost any kind of product adapted
to the temperate zone; where timber
is plentiful; where the winters are
mild and the summers pleasant, and
where you can raise farm truck and
where you can sell it, let them come
to Caleasieu. Our people are noted
for their hospitality, generosity and
neutrality-suspicious. in al business mat
tiers, and it is most certainly the place
for industrious people to select homes,
as lands are cheap, and building ma
teriaI cheaper. And if they want to
know all about our parish and town
let them subscribe to the Echo, the
columns of which weekly contain more
or less information regarding the ad.
yantages of Calcasieu and the fertility
of our soil. As for health. this sec
