Will The Rice Canals Survives


A prominent rice planter was
at the Commercial Hotel last
night, and too modest to talk, in
cold type over his own name for
the benefit of the readers of this
column, he proceeoed to tell OF a
condition over in the Acadia YER
million Calcasieu rice country
that may havea disastrous effect
on the rice canals already con-
structed at cost of thousands of
dollars. The Dusons own some
Of these canals; Sam Hunter, for
merly of Shreveport, is the largest
individual proprietor, and has
constructed the largest and long
est canal, while the newcomers
from the North and West have
much money invested in these can
ais. Now, it seems to be a fac!
that the planters of (say) 2o(
acres can dig q deep we'll Of their
own at moderate cost on their owl
place. and get al the vaAer the5
wsot without using the can
ais at all. If this be true, wheI
will the canal companies ever
declare dividend? To-day il
would appea, that the wells, Il
to pot it in a paradox, are on top
land the canals under the bottom
States.
