MAJ. BOLIVAR THOMPSON ON
THE HIGH WATER FIGHT.

| " "h AHeSA'AO" "Ath AOPOA IOA
of the Times-Democrat last Satur-
day, Major Bolivar Thompson ex-
pressed himself as follows:
"There is one point connected
withthe fight this year which can
not be dwelt upon too often. 1t
is the magnificent enthusiasm and
determination of the planters all
the way from the Arkansas line to
Red River. l have been on the
levees, in low water and high,
and | have never seen anything to
compare with the fight made this
year.
"Parochial boundaries were as
completely wiped out as if the To-
calization of Carroll, Madison,
Tensas and Concordia had never
been heard of. Wherever men
were needed men went, coming
from everywhere. Men from Car
roll went up into Arkansas and
made the levees secure, and when
this was done followed the water
down into Louisiana and made
their home levees secure. This
done, they went South into the
next parish and worked on the
levees there.
"This is true not alone of Car
roll. All the other parishes in
the Fifth District did the same,
and, what is more, men from the
back country, men who knew
what it is to be overflowed, but
who had never seen a levee when
the water was against it, came out
twenty and thirty miles to volun-
teer their aid in holding the line.
Well, / simply don't known the
words with which to praise the
way the planters of the Tensas
Basin fought the food this year.
eff / were much of moralist
Knight go into a long dissertation
upon the effect of a good example,
but 1 won't. Still, without moral
izing, / can pay a just tribute to
Tensas parish. That has always
been a hard-fighting lot of plant
ers when high water threatened,
and this year they fought harder
than ever, and the fact that the
whole district did magnificent
work takes nothing from long
standing credit due Tensas parish.
"What is more, the planters
did not earn praise on the front
levees alone. They did the same
on the rear levees after the Biggs
|crevasse that they did all the time
on the front levees. Mr.. Jones
would be building a very big back
levee to keep the water off his
place and would learn that Mr..
Smith, either next to him or a
little distance away, was little
behind in his work. Then Mr..
Jones wonld take his hands to Mr..
Smiths back levee and help him
out. All in all, the work done by
front and back planters in the
Fifth District this year has been
a splendid Illustration of personal
and reciprocal protection at times
when courage was apparently
without hope, and when conditions
seem to indicate that effort was
absolutely without possibility of
reward. They made a splendid
fight, and l feel that / am q fit
subject for congratulation for hav-
ing been allotted by fate, or
chance, or luck, or what you will,
to serve as engineer in charge of
that district. !"

The ST. Francis Levee Board of
Arkansas has postponed the let
ting of one million, eight hundred
thousand cubic yards of levee work
that was to have been let at Mem
phis next month. The long line
of levees pus up by this board has
been washed away by the recent
floods, and it is a serious question
whether the ST. Francis will ever
be levied or not. The loss to the
board is large amount.

DEATH OF MRS. MARY
III. STEELE.

The many friends of Judge Hi
ram r. Steele in this parish will
hear with sorrow of the death of
his mother Mrs. Mary H. Steele,
which occurred on March 18th, at
her home in Hartford, Vermont.
Mrs. Steele had rounded out a
long and useful life and in her
character represented the best
type of the New England woman
in her generation. She was left a
widow with limited means in
early life and by her excellent
management was enabled to give
a good education to all her child
rem, who, as they grew up and
took their stations in life, repaid
her with such affectionate devotion
as is seldom shown by children to
parent.
Mrs. Steele was a woman of
sound Judgment, high intellectual
qualities and a most devoted and
conscientious christian. She lived
to see her children all well estab-
lished and with happy families.
Her eldest son, Benz. HI. Steele
was educated at Dartmouth Col
lege and studied law. At a period
in his carer when most men are
just becoming well-known in their
professions, he was made Chief
Justice of Vermont and achieved a
splendid record as jurist. He
died before he had reached middle
life, bat full of honors.
Mrs. Steele'e only daughter
Lydia, married Geremer S. f.
Pingree, of Vermont, an eminent
lawyer who was colonel in the
famous Vermont Brigade that won
so much renown at Gettysburg,
and few years ago was Governor
of Vermont.
Her second son, Judge Hiram
r. Steele, was a citizen of this
parish for many years, where he
is so well and favorably known.
During his residence in Louisiana
he had occupied the positions of
District Attorney, Parish Judge of
Tensas, Judge of the Supreme
|Criminal Court in New Orleans,
and Assistant Attorney General of
Louisiana, all of which positions
he filed with signal ability. He
is now a prominent lawyer in
New York and one of the Trus-
tees of the New York Life Insu-
rance Company, q position of
great trust. and honor.
Her third son, Saraford II.
Steele, also graduated at Dart
mouth College and settled in New
York where he has won high rank
in the profession of law. He and
his brother, Judge H. n Steele,
are members of the well-known
law firm of Steele, De Friese &
Dickson.
In the winter of 1881 Mrs. Steele
paid visit to st. Joseph and made
many warm friends here who
most sincerely mourn her death and
join with us in extending to her
children their sympathies in the
bereavement they have suffered.
"Her children rise up and call her
blessed"
