gressional district OF the state.

Many Business Houses Destroyed

Insurance.

A telephone message was received
in our city about 2:30 O'c ock on
Thursday morning from sheriff Con
nelly of Houms, saying that the bnsi'
ness portion Of that town was being
swept by fire and asking assistance
from the Thibodaux fire department
TO subdae the flames.
The fire companies made all posi-
be haste to respond to the urgent
call, but after reaching the depot
with their engine to board the train
news came that the fire was under
control and therefore they did not go.
However, sheriff James Beary. Robt.
Naqniu, A. J. Braud, James Wilson,

over TO our neighboring unfortunate
town.,o render any needed assistance

The application Of scientific irriga-
tion methods has recently given a new
development to rice culture in south
western Louisiana. as explained in a
bulletin OF the department of agricul-
ture. Rice requires wet lands. but
on such lands harvesting machinery
cannot be used. The difiiculty has been
met by flooding the dry prairie lands
during the growth OF the rice, and
then draining them. by n system OF
pumps. canals and levees. when the
crop Is nearly ripe. On the drained
lands 1t is possible to use reapers to
harvest the rice; thus the cheap labor
employed in foreign rice growing
countries can be met by American ma
chinery.

for that reason there Is no purpose to
make public the full preparations max

All that the officials say Is that both
the army and the navy. IL occasion
arises, will give good account of
themselves.
