1t is il well known fact that the
river reports, as published in the
City papers have been practically
of little service 10 that portion of
Louisiana below the mouth Of Red
River.
1t is nothing uncommon to see
that aIi>e at EicksbuIg. il followed
by Il fall when it reaches the mouth
OF Bayou Laiourche, because a de
cline is sCing on in Red liver,
which causes the extra rise in the
Mississippi river to pass down the
Alchaialaya.
Neither is it unusual to see u re
ported fall at VickSburg followed
by IA fall lower down, caused by u
rise i'll the Red river ; and it is
nothing strange to read of reported
declines at Vicksburg and Alexan
dria, followed by rise below the
mouth Of Red river, occasioned by
the surplus waters let out through
crevasses, which slowly passing
down the Washita valley, are then
returning into the Mississippi
river at the mouth of Red river.
The Editor of the SENTINEL has
lately written these facts to Senator
Gibson, recommending that a sta
ton be established at Bayou Sara,
from which daily reports can be
made. A rise or fall at that point
would be felt in 4S hours at this
point, and any doubt of what may
be expected here removed.

ceived

On Tuesday next will be 80
years since the great storm, that
passed over this part of Louisiana,
overlooking Last Island. drowning
from $50 to 200 people thereon, and
bringing sorrow and mourning into
hundreds of families in Assumption,
I%bervilIe, st. Martinsville, st. Mary,
TerrebOnue and Lafourche.
But few survivors remain 60 tell
the story of that terrible day.
The tide in the Lafoulche caused
the water to rise from 6 to s feet.
On the second night afterwards
a rain fell-the like of which was
probably never witnessed here, be
fore or since.

MIR. Armour interviewed.

CHICAGO, Ill, October IA pub
liehed Interview concerning the stock

The day. of Chicago's supremacy rs
a pork pat king center will sooa be a
thing of the pat. Kansas City,
Omaha, Cedar Rip' DIS and othsr West
ern points are fast taking the business
away from here. Take Kansas City,
for instance. The price of hogs there
is 20 cents per hundred less than it is
here, while her fire. ght rates to all
Wes;e and Southern points are as low
"a ours, and her freight rates to the
Atlantic seabo ,rd are only u, or at
the most, 10 CT hts a hut bred higher.
In hsr words Kansas City's freight
rates to the msrke's where 80 Der
cent. OF our produces are sold aie ju't
as good as ours, while hogs ale
cheaper. What is true OF Kansas
City is true in greater or less degrees
Ct other Yves ern points. It's the
natural courss of events The cora
belt has moved West and with it hog
raising. 1t is history repeating itself.
Only few years ego, Chicago took
away the supremacy from Cincinna
and ST. Louis. To show that this ia
not id'e talk brought on by the pres
ent trou Die, l will cay have not added
a single brick to my packing house
property in Chicago, while in Kansas
