Those who have passed Reservoir Park In
Compton Heights during the past summer
have noticed the improvements being made
there. both in the erection of the new stand
ripe and in the development Of the park
surrounding the storage basins. These i'm

Engineer Russell, under instructions of the
Water Commissioner office. and when the
work is completed the place will be among
the handsomes. If its sort in the country.

utility. but also to place 1t on an equal or

Grand avenue side of the park. merits de-

PROSPERITY OF NEW ORLEANS.

, The city of New Orleans and
country tributary leading from all
directions to that market point To
an era of much prosperity. Facts
of today and all signs for the flu
ture point that way. No one can
gainsay the contrary. To quote an
authority, 'sten-cent cotton and
six-cent sugar will prove the magic
word that will bring untold pros
perity to the South" In turn,
New Orleans, the metropolis OF
the South, with her extensive and
magnificent harbor and loading
facilities will reap the benefits
manifold, and this coupled with
that city's many material advanta-
ees. that'are so rapidly being deve-
Hoped, will bring about results that
must necessarily prove potent to u
community's permanent success.
New Orleans geographical posi-
ton and the new conditions which
have so happily arisen, make the
conclusion logical that she is nat
urul heir To much that is good,
and that in the commercial world
she will rank first in the Union.
1t is not too extravagant to dwell
in this thought. The opinion that
New Orleans is on the threshold
of new era of prosperity and
that she is continually forging
ahead is sustained by facts. Its
bank clear ances, which for Sept
ember Of last year were only $31, :
|692'729, are this year SAL ,422, ,605,
an increase of nearly 100000, 900.
The receipts of cotton are in ex-
cess over those of last year at
this time. and in other ports the
receiptsare far below. It is rath-
er early in September to break
the cotton records, but this is
nevertheless fact and makes it
all the more noteworthy. 1t is in
the handling of cotton that much
of the product is destined to New
Orleans. There has also been a
decided advance in tho lumber
business. This is indeed peculiar
ly gratifying. While Bay St.
Louis does not depend as much
on Now Orleans for its own pros
perity as in the past, yet we hinge
considerable of our being on the
success of that city. Consequent
ly what is good for New Orleans
must in turn be good for Bay st.
Louis, besides the COOL feeling that
exists between the people of the
two places it is natural that we
should exult in the prosperity of
New Orleans.
