WHEAT AND FLOUR TRADE.
Cancern Felt Over the New French

The wheat and flour trade is deeply con-
cerned about the new French law modify
Ing former ones with regard to the tenn
porary admission Of wheat into the repub-
lie according to a report from Consul Gen.
eral Skinner at Marseilles. Under the terms
Of the old law an exchange of money was
not essential to secure a certificate of i'm
portation. Upon the arrival Of foreign
wheat in the bonded warehouses certifi-
cate of importation was issued and the
wheat itself was cleared for consumption
without payment of duty upon the delivery
into the bonded warehouses Of an equiva-
lent quantity Of the manufactured product
Of other wheat. The whole transaction be-

does not move along smoothly. On
the Sth of Feb'y. Messrs. W. j.
Burke and Bro, representing the
drainage commissioners lately ap-
pointed by the Police Jury of this
parish, addressed letter to
Messrs. Broussard, Dulany and
Broussard, counselOrs of the
Board Of Commissioners of the
New iberia and Bayou Carlin
District, asking ''if it would be
agreeable to their clients to signi-
fy in writing their appreciation of
the fact that their appointments
have been practically vacated in
so far as concerns the extraurban
territory. If 80, a proper organi
zatjon may be effected by those
who are very desirous for the
drainage Of their land, without
any further legal delay or com
plications.''
Ina note under date of Feb'y
14th, the gentlemen replied, say
ing ssthere is no disposition to com
ply with this request.

was appointed at time when it
was hot thought there was any
conflict between the Steidly Act,
the Drew Act and the Amended
Charter of New Iberia. The Su-
lpreme Court has unfortunately
decided that this was not the case,
and that there was conflict between
all three Of these acts.
The Board of Directors now con
ceiye it their duty, at the next
session Of the Legislature, to have
the law so amended as to enable
the cutting of this necessary ca
nal; and in this they have the
lsympathy Of a large majority of
the taxpayers Of the district,
both in and out Of New Iberia.
They specially d'sclaim opposi.
ton to any movement in the direc-
ton Of drainage, of any person or

isist that with their knowledge OF
the proposed project, it is not
practicable to carfyit cut, unless
all properties in the district bene
: lifted, in and out of New Iberia,
be made to bear just share in
defraying the expenses; nor do We
think, if it were possible for the

the foresight, courage and states.
manship of President Thomas
jefferson in 1903, which purchase
not only secured for the United
States the control of the Mississi.
ppi River, but the thousands of
fertile acres of land in the Missis.
ippl Valley, now affords happy
and prosperous homes for millions
Of our people.
1t not only did these things, but
it made it possible for the Govern
nent to stretch to the Pacific
Ocean, with all the intermediate
land and wealth of soil, mines of
Gold and Silver and timber.
Around the City of New Orleans
cluster the brightest memories of
the early history Of the Purchase.
Louisiana was the first State of
the domain admitted into the
UniOn-the first State carved out
OF that princely domain, and is to
day one of, the influential and
bright stars in the galaxy of States
in the Union.
1t goes without saying tina,
Louisiana should be represented
in the Worlds Fair to be held in
st. Louis in 1908, celebrating the
centennial anniversary Of the
Louisiana Purchase, and it's posi-
ton demands that it be represent
ed by an exhibition Of it's products,
commensurate with it's high posi-
ton in the history and develop
| ment Of the Louisiana Purchase
Then as natives of the State of
Louisiana living in st. Louis,
proud of our native State and
proud Of her people, solicitous of
her welfaIe-we appeal to you,
our compatriOts, to make more
than ordinary efforts to have
Louisiana properly represented.
We on our part will do all in our
power to aid and encourage the
movement.
Glorious old Louisiana, we are
proud Of you!

FIELDING AVERAGES.

mid the wreck Of base ball ornaments
and the crash Of managerial worlds. when
the grand stand is rolled up like a score
card. and the diamond shrivels into moth
ingness in the final ground cataclysm that
shall overwhelm the great American game,
old Pop Eyler will be there with his record,
and against the name of Omaha he will have
set down: Never fetched me-" For three
years this grand old Grizzly has wfggled
his paw at the Omahogs, and they we're
as nothing. All kinds Of players with
Omaha written across their manly bos-
oms have faced this magnificent manipulation
Of the horsehide pill, but to no avail. He
won't let 'em win. AT present there is
a belief that n the old Chicago whitestock-
ings. or ST. Louis Browns could be returned
to earth and labeled Omaha" that Pop
Eyler would make monkeys Of them. Just
what there is about the work Of this partic-
ular pitcher which puts Omaha players on
the run isn't to be discovered by super
fetal observation other teams beat him,
and even Omahogs have been known to
caress his curves with startling familiarity.
For example, yesterday the home team hit
Eyler harder than Denver hit Graham, but
a seconds nap by young Mr.. Thomas. who
has been sleeping a great deal during the
day Of late. allowed Pops team to chalk up
another win for him. It's q magnineently
unique record, and the old boy should be
proud of it. Omaha people have had great
faith in him since the day he drove Tommy
Hughes to the woods three years ago, and
so long as we must lose games to Denver,
why, we easily prefer to have Pop Eyler
get all the credit there is to 1t.
