storm which prevailed in the valley
Immediately preceding the rise
already on its way from the tributa-
ries above. The advance of the food
wave was rapid and sharp, but its
duration and decline was equally so,
which would not have been the case
but for the particularly successful
work done by the levees of the Bos-
sier and Caddo Districts.
The height attained by the river at
principal points as compared with
1892 was as follows:
!. Fulton 3 below. 3 State Line 25 below.
3. Willow Bend 0. above.4 Shreveport l.2'
| s. Eagle Bend 04 " g. Riverdale 10 above
z. Robson 0.5 above.
Heights greatly exceeding those of
1892 are spoken about at points
below, but they lack confirmation,
and do not appear consistent with
the figures given above, which are
authentic
The attention of the Board is called
to the following localities where work
is demanded at as early date as pos
sible to insure the preservation of
contiguous improved work and an
equal promise of safety by the entire
! line, viz:
Taylor's, new 1evee, on account of
caving; Buck Hall, raising and en-.
larging; Colquitt's to billiards., new
levee, on account of caving and in
sufficiency of present levee; Sunfow-
er, new levee, on account of caving
Lattier's, new levee on account of in
sufficiency of present line and caving;
Pickett's, new levee, on account of
insufficiency on present line and
caving.
Where the levees of the District
had not yet become properly turfed
with Bermuda grass, considerable
wave-wash occurred, which should
be restored and the surface of the
leyees again planted with Bermuda
grass.
In closing these remarks the Board
of State Engineers can not refrain
from again emphasizing the necessity
for organized measures to insure care,
preservation and protection to the
levees of the District.
Respectfully submitted by the
BOARD OF STATE ENGINEERS,
per FRANK NJ. KERR,
Assistant State Engineer.
Mr.. P. J. Trezevant, presented an
account of $137 so for $500 sacks
used on Magenta and Lattier's levee
during the last high water.
Mr.. Moss moved that the account
be allowed. On call of the roll the
following was the result:
Yeas: Messrs. Moss and Pickett-2.
Nays: Messrs. Cash, Colquitt, Stin-
son and Lenoir-4. The account was
not allowed.
The following report from Tax
Collector was read:

coNcrLrArroN AND ARBITRATION.

Labor Commissioner Wright will
have accomplished ore Of the crown
ing achievements OF the century if he
shall succeed in his plan for the peace
fui settlement Of labor strikes and the
satisfactory adjustment of contro-
versies between employers and em-
ployes, by the Intervention OF the
United States board of concilation
and arbitration provided for in his
bill.
No law should ever pass congress,
however, which does not fully recog-
nize the right of the employer TO dis
pense with the services of an employee
at his own optioa, and the right of an
employe to terminate his period OF
service in the same.way, in the absence
/ of special contracts TO the contrary
There is no doubt that the principles
of the plan suggested Tor the proven
tion and remedy Of labor disputes are
PltRgetRGE sQgpa, and. IT, saga PIE 2
effective and salutary. The principle
of Cancellation and arbitration are the
principles Of common sense that be
tween man and man, neighbor an,
neighbor, government and govern
ment in many instances operate tC
the best interests Of both parties ant
are productive Of definite results. Al
that is necessary to make them equal
ly useful AMI satisfactory in adjusting
controversies arising between work
iugmen and their employers is to hav
the provisions Of the law accepted il
good faith by both and its decision
accepted as having an obligator
character. Compulsory arbitration
pure and simple, is out of tho ques
ton.

rx-AssocIArE JUSTICE BURFoRD.

The resignation Of Judge Burford
removes one Of the ablest jurists this
territory has known. Without dis
cussing the policy that retains in Office
factor Of an opposite political force
which we condemn, it is admitted by
all that the second judicial district has
been presided over by an honest, inn
partial, upright judge.
with his knowledge of the law and
peculiar adaptability for administering
| it, Judge Burford combines the many
excellent and pleasing qualities of a
/ gentleman. His work both in his dis
trict and upon the supreme bench has
added the force of an agreeable per-
sonality to a vivid and clear enuncia-
ton of the law.
The territory is indebted to him foi
an able line of opinions, and no one
can say in his official acts but thai
right was done and that justice pre-
vailed.
