Cause For Alarm

Rice Journel and Gulf Coast
Farmer, of Crowley, makes the
following statement:
About sixty per cent. of the
planting is done in this and st.

steam plants are using fuel oil at
present with perfect success, and
at reduced cost over coal or
wood.
We have two storage oil tanks
located here used in distributing
fuel oil, one tank having capacity
of 5000 barrels.
Fuel oil is sold. delivered to the
consumer along the Bayou, at
about fifty-fve cents per barrel.
However, some complaints are
being made about the carelessness
of the crews of the various oil
barges. which distribute fuel oil

The Iberia Gun Club.

This organization never seems
to be at a loss for some new fea-
ture calculated to excite the deep
est interest in it's members. For
some time past there has been a
question as to who was entitled to
the distinction of being styled the
champion marks man of the club.
Several of the members have at
one time and another made very
creditable scores, but there was not
difference enough to determine
that the honors should belong to
any particular one.
In order to SET tie this disputed
question the club has selected a
very pretty medal to be awarded
to the member making the best
average score between May lst and
October lst, 1902.
Last Sunday the ball was set
rolling on this championship

The Origin Of the Louisiana
L.eyee System.

Mr.. Charles Patton Dimitry III
a recent communication to the New
Orleans Picayune, gave an ac-
count of the origin of the levee
system of Louisiana. 1t seems
that when Vaudreuil, in 1l43, be
came governor of Louisiana, sue
ceeding Bienville, he issued OF
ders to the farmers and planters
living along the river for con
siderable distance above and be
low New Orleans, to construct
leyees in front of their lands
wherever needed, and to maintain
them in good repair and sniliclent-
" to resist the flood waters OF the
river. The penalty for failure III
this was to be forfeiture Of the
lands. and this sort OF moral
suasion had such a good effect on
irice, indigo and tobacco planters
that a leyee SYSTEM was quickly
| provided and was found adequate
| for the purpose then and fol
many years afterwards. Finally
The settling of the country high
err up required that the system
should beextcnded
| The magnilice t levee system

lin its limits the river all the way
from here to Cairo, is the out
growth of this small beginning
In redeems from the floods th'

FAITHFUL
Cloud has Ended His
Days.
"He Knew More Than Some
People" Is His Epitaph.

Cloud, the white Arabian horse
which belonged to- the Bllow Under
taking establishment, and which for
the past 20 years has drawn the fu-
neral car, Is no more. In his day
Cloud was a handsome animal and
nearly a quarter of II century ago cost
Capt. Billow $4Co. He was one of the
best known horses in the city, and on
account of his beauty and elegant
proportions was always in demand for
street parades on great days.
In all the 20 years of his ownership
of Cloud, Mr.. Bilow never had occa-
sion to call "a veterinary for him, for
he was never known to be sick a day
and never missed call A year ago
Cloud began to show signs of failure
and was put on the retired list, since
when he had done nothing but enjoy
the good things of life reaping the re.
ward of years of faithful service.
He was a loyal and faithful friend
and was "A remarkably intelligent ami
NAL. He was absolutely fearless. and
could be driven directly up to a rail-
way train. Upon coming to n railway
crossing. however, if the gates were
open. Cloud seemed to realize that it
was his business to get across the
tracks as speedily as possible and
nothing could hold him until he was
safe on the other side
Said Mr.. S. r. Cunningham, That
horse knew more than some people.
Why If we had him out and he saw a
crepe streamer ON door he would
want to stop.
"On one occasion Capt. Billow had
him out on dark night and coming
home the horse ran plump into an
obstruction in the road, throwing Mr..
Billow out. Cloud was frightened at
| first and ran with all his might. but,
as he ran, the noble fellow thought Of
his master, and deeming this but
scurvy treatment of friend in trou.
| BILE. he conquered his fear. and turn
| ing in his tracks, returned to the
scene of the disaster, though tremb-
ling in every limb"
The death of Cloud was deeply felt
by Mr.. Billow, who had grown very
fond of this faithful servant and he
will be missed by many persons
throughout the city who knew and
admired this sagacious animal.

enough to steal from such an institu-

notice am increase in the number OF
books stolen since the shelves were
open to the public.
1t is probable, however, that the
shelves, except those containing fic-
ton, will be closed to the public when
