New Council.

Now, that our newly elected ell
have been installed, and the wheels of
municipal government freshly CREASED
for another years run, it is all i'm
portant that right at the inception of
their administration, they should deter
mine upon some intelligent, progress
siye policy which will be of material and
permanent benefit to the town. La the
ueighborhood of 500 o of annual rev.
enue will be under their control. 1t is
true that all this may be easily frittered
away for garbage hauling, dog killing,
sire ct repairing, etc. But if our city
fathers with resolve upon systematic i'm
proYement portion of this, say $2500
may be set aside for some particular
purpose. For example, let them re-
solve to dig deep drainage canal from
the lake at central por ton of town
back to the extreme edge Of the settled
part, so as TO drain iuto the lake. Let
this ditch be plauked on bottom and
sides, and if necessary on top. 81, 300
will do it. All the central portion of
town being drained into this canal by
cross ditehef, viii become much more
healthy, and the lots more desirable.
Do they fear the complaints Of those
living at the extremes, because the
money is spent for the benefit of part.
1t is only necessary to say, the world
was not made in day-your time next.
IL this be done permanent drainage viii
become an issue in our next town cleo.
ton, and those who will have furnished
proof of their willingness and ebility to
utilize town funds for the benefit Of
the town viii have the inside track for
election. Five years il such course
will, without a dollar Of extra tax, make
Lake Charles one Of the best drained
towns in the south, and will retain hen
reputation as one Of the healthiest. Al
drainage becomes more perfect, street
cleaning will grow cheaper.
| Drainage, water protection from fire
and the lake front improvement are the
most needed improvements for Lake
Charles to-day.

left at home and sincere prayers for the bless

Mr.. Robinson, Of Abbeville, La, and
brother Of Il. L. Robinson of this city,
called on us few days ago. Judging
from his conversation we would not be
surprised if he becomes one of our citi-
zens. He was here on a prospecting
tour some ten years ago, at which time
we advised him to locate in our town
because we believed that it would be to
his interest TO do so. He says now that
he thinks VIC were right, and rather re-
grets that he did not take our advice.
We say to you, Mr.. Robinson, and 9th.

of room for you.

On Tuesday evening Immediately af-
ter noon, a great number of pedestrians
and vehicles of every description were
seen vending their way to the southeast
portion of town. Soon the chief citi.
zens of Lake Charles, men, women and
children were assembled below tile col
lege at the. now, southern terminus Of
the Kansas City, Watkins and Gull
railroad, to witness and take part in the
ceremonies of breaking ground on that
enterprise, so vital to the prosperity OF
our embryo city.
Prof. S. A, Knapp having been, by
reclamation, made chairman, called mp.
on Rev. Mr.. Burnett, who opened the
ceremonies with prayer. Prof. Knapp
then briefly but comprebensively aud
eloquently addressed few opening re-
marks upon the utility of railroads and
the aecruing advantages to this beauti-
full country. Mr.. Adolph Meyer having
then been elected secretary, Hon. y. o.
Shattuck was called to the stand and
entertained the audience with choice
language, his own earnest enthusiasm
carrying him off into rhyme which ami
Inflated the doubling Thomases. and
gave him a graceful retreat during the
clapping of hands.
The veteran Col. Mitchell's eloquent
voice was next heard breaking forth in
words of eloquent praise of the country
in which he wishes his earthly remains
to rest after a proper postponement o!
that serious affair to the very latest mo.
ment. As the gallant old Colonel's elo.
quence faded away there was heard the
well-known voice of the Rev. Mr.. Dawes,
who, though regarding himself only as
preface to the orator of the day, occu.
pied considerable time, during which
he interested the audience, and declared
his confidence in the future great city
of Lake Charles, in which his family
should rest and his children be reared
wherever Methodism might call the
preacher
The audience WHO had thus far been
SO well entertained were next treated to
an eloquent discourse from Hon. G. e.
Wells. 30 long and hOnorabIy identified
with the Lake Charles bar and finally
the Rev. Mr.. Burnett, who loved moth,
ing so well as one railroad, except t1go,
and who had just dropped into Lake
Charles as the Eldorado of the South,
entered into an enthusiastic discourse
in which the people were exhorted to
lend helping hand and pull together
TO secure their prosperity. Mr.. Bur.
nett's discourse came so near building
the road, that immediately after he
closed his eloquent address Mr.. J. B.
Watkins, having been unanimously
voted boss ditcber, headed band Of vol
unteer shoyelmen, composed of the frs
citizens Of the town, who had marched
from town armed with shovels, with the
Unied States flag and the green flag Of
the struggling Isle of Erin at their head
and fastened to cast up the first dir
into the bed of the Kansas City, Wat
kins and Gulf railroad, and amid the
firing Of cannon, fairly started Messrs
Kennedy & Stone, the contractors, upon
the work.
As the regularly employed laborers
and railroad pIows caught up the work,
the assembly, amidst cheers for the sue
cess of the enterprise, adjourned from
the scene and returned to speculate up
on what the railroad will do for us.
