Salt Water Interferes with lSrI-
cation of Rice

Abbeville, July 1.-THE irriga
ton Of rice has been interrupted
somewhat with several of the canals
by the appearance of salt water in
Bayou Vermilion, and nearly all of
the canals south of AbbevilIe have
been forced to stop or shut down
pumping on occount of 1t. The
Hunter Canal Company, some dis
lance above Abbeville, has not been
troubled with the salt water vet,
but they have not been able to fur
nish a suffi Cient supply of water for
all the rice farmers who are depend
ing on them for water. The parish
never had a better prospect for
good crops all around than it has
this season regardless of the salt
water.

has been operated only since the
first part of June, the management
is satisfied that the company's sec
ond venture is no less success
than the first one. The large num-
Der of orcers received daily from
Lafayette and neighboring towns
show that the factory has been turn

Shipments have been made to St.
Martinville, Crowley, Alexandria,
Cheneyville and other towns. Many
orders from these towns could not
be filled on account of the local de
mand which has been very large
during the warm spell.
With the improved filters and re-
boilers used at the plant all impuri-
ties are removed from the water,
which accounts in great measure
for the excellence of the ice.

The New superintendent.

Prof. Alleman, who was elected
parish superinsendent of education,
arrived in Lafayette Monday. AS
soon as suitable arrangements are
made Prof. Alleman will be joined
here by Mrs. Alleman.
Speaking of the appointment of
Prof. Alleman the Franklin Watch
man says:
Prof. l.. J. Alleman, who has been
principal Of the Centreville Gram
mar school for some years, has
been chosen superintendent of
schools for the parish of Lafayette,
at a salary Of $1,000 per year.
This is another recognition for St.
Mary Of which all the people of
this parish should be justly proud.
This is distinctive honor and it
falls upon a most worthy young
gentleman.
Mr.. Alleman was born in St.
Mary and is not yet thirty years old.
He graduated at Vanderbilt Un1ver-
sity and was chosen valedictorian
of his class. He returned home,
since which time he has been en-
gagged in teaching. During vaca
ton Mr.. Alleman took special
courses at Monteagle, besides at
tending summer chautauqua schools
throughout the State and is CLASH
fed as one of the best educated
among the young men Of Louisiana.
The school board Of Lafayette did
wise thing in selecting St. Mary's
young citizen as its superintendent,
and the Waterman predicts for that
parish new era of education on
the highest lines Of excellence.

that there is not mechanic in this

are building better, larger and
handsomer homes. If the good
work continues and some attention
is paid to the planting of trees and
flowers, Lafayette can be made a

The Snodgrass Assessment.

Mr.. Ct. NJ. Snodgrass appeared
before the Board of Reviewers and
complained of what he considered
erty. Mr.. Snodgrass owns eleven
acres of land, 90 which is
dwelling house, a barn and other
small Improvements. The property
is just outside the town limits, adj
joining Mudd's Addition Mr..
Martin assessed the property at
$4,000. The Board of Reviewers,
with the exception of Capt. Blu

Assessor Martin and the eight
members of the Board who ratif-i
the action of the assessor are evil

town property. Under that basis

The Gazette believes that Mr..
Snodgrass' land should be assessed
as farm land. We see no reason
way IL Shouit not. oiHC' properly
similarly situated has been placed in
that category. We do not ascribe
unworthy motives to any one nor
do we think that there has been
any intention to discriminate
against Mr.. Snodgrass, but
we believe, neverthe less, that his
assessment is unreasonably high
We appreciate the difficulty of equal
