New Levoo Commissioners.

Po1NT-A-LA-HATcHE.-At the last
session of the legislature O new levee
district was created, and Saturday at
noon, at the parish seat in the large and
beautiful courthouse, the following gen.
tlemen, who were appointed commits
sioners, met to organize and elect the
necessary officers OF the board: Isaac
l.. Hsspel, Il. II. Baker, Of New Or
leans; Thomas Brophy, Marcus Waltz
or and John Burton, of Plaquemines
parish. Mr.. Haspel was selected as
president, Edward Henritzy, secre-
tary, Joseph Pleschier, inspector, and
John Dymond, Jr., attorney Of the
board, resident of New Orleans, but
a native of that parish and son Of
Hon. John Dymond, of Belair planta-
ton and parish representative. AS
sis tant State ENGINEER Lewis, after
ono months hard work. completed a
survey of tho needed work required
for levees in this district and made o
report before the board, estimating
that 1t will require total of 492, $50
cubic yards to put the lovees in this
district in perfect condition. All taxes
were levied as in vogue in the other
districts. The Grand Prairie Levee
District extends from the lower line of
Bohemia plantation, the end of the
Lake Borgne District, to Fort st.
Philip, covering distance Of thirty
miles and embraces section of the
richest part of the parish. A small
system of front levees is required, with
a height Of six feet and small base.
The Typographical situation of the land
is several feet below that of the upper
portion of the parish. When these
lands are perfectly protected by the
system of back and front levees Gre
ated by the act, thousand upon thous-
ands of acres of the richest and most
productive lands will have been re-
claimed, which have been enriched by
q deposit of rich river sediment, which
has raised the land to an elevation of
two feet in the lowest places. These
lands, by the many breaks in the
levees during the flood of two years
ago, were completely inundated
throughout the entire section.

WINONA, Mimi, March 26.-In answer to
letter inquring the reason for the change
of the branch Office of the Upper Mississippi
Improvement department from st. Paul to
Winona, Lieut.. Col. w. R. King replies from
Rock Island, as follows:
1 would say that few months ago the
work of building locks and dams between
st. Paul and Minneapolis was, by order
of the chief Of engineers, transferred to
another officer. By this order the work in
charge of Assistant Engineer DuShane
whose office was in st. Paul, was so cur
tailed that it was deemed advisable to ex-
tend the lower limits of his district from
the head of Lake Pepin to Winona. The
work in the upper part Of the district, from
st. Paul down to Red Wing. is nearing
completion, while that between the foot Of
the lake and Winona is not so far advanced
SO that in the future the greater part of
Assistant DuShane's work will be handler
to Winona than to st. Paul. 1t was also
thought that better accommodations could
be obtained in the new government build
ing at Winona than those at present in use
in the crowded army building at st. Paul.

Assessments ON Mines
DULUTH, Mimi, March ga special dis
patch from st. Paul to the News-Tribuna an
nounces that State Auditor Dunn is going
to see that the assessments on mining prop
critics on the ranges in this county are pushed
up to the proper levy. This has caused con-
siderable surprise among the county officials
mere and they are inclined to smile at Dunn
The county auditor here has been working
for several months this matter, and not
only are the assessments for this year to be
raised, but the raise will apply to taxes for
six years back during the time the companies
were paying tonnage tax. This tax having
been declared unconstitutional the assess
ments are to be made for the whole time and
the difference between what the companies
ought to have paid and what they did pay,
collected. The difference will be very large
the mines having been let off very easy The
county auditor has transcripts of testimony
in tax cases in which interested and disin-
terested mining experts have placed valua-
lions on all these mining properties and this
information is more valuable than any which
can be gathered by Dunn's man.
