The Teche Improvement.

As soon as the papers had reach

Teche to allow the waters of the
other streams above to flow down
the Teche, our Congressman pre-
pared and presented bill to Con-

chat stream at private expense,
and when everything looked favo-
tsble to the passage of the bill,
opposition came from st. Landry
parish, which will prevent the
passage of the bill at the present
session Of Congress.
As we understand the situation,

Water Works and Electric
Light.

The board of managers met this
week to meet representative OF
Mr.. George G. Morgan, of Chica-
go, engineer, to whom was given
the contract for the plans and spe-
cifications of the contemplated
work, and also to superintend the
construction of the works.
The plans, specifications and
estimates of this plan we're ap-
proved and accepted, and we are
satisfied, will give US first class
plant in every respect.
As soon as the bonds are floated
the executive committee will ad-
vertise for bids to furnish all the
material and machinery necessary
for the plant, which material will
be bought by the town, and the
construction will be under the SUI
perintendence of Mr.. Morgan. If
the bonds can be sold without any
delay we expect to see work COM
mence on the plant inside Of sixty
days.
It will now be proper for the
committee to 60 into the details of
putting the plant in operation, to
procure data as to approximate
cost of running the plant, and the
cost for the use of light and water,
and to canvass the town to see
those who will use either or both,
in order that the plumbing work
and wire work be made and be
completed at the same time as the
plant.

THE STREET FAIR.

The fair opened here Wednes-
day night, somewhat incomplete,
on account of the heavy rains the
day previous and the muddy con-
dition or our streets, notwithstand-
ing the unfavorable condition of
the weather, the fair proved a
great attraction on the opening
day, as the town was so crowded
with people that circulation on
Main street was almost impossi-
BILE.
The Fair is located on the Main
street, from the store Of Mr.. j. B.
Ferran to the store of Mr. E. w.
Bienvenu, and unlike the fair held
in other towns, there is no general
entrance, the several attractions
are all facing the side walks of the
centre of town, which gives the
business portion of the town very
busy and attractive appearance.
during the day and night.
To-day and tomorrow We ex-
pect to see large crowds of people
in town, and all can look for very
busy time, and lots of fun and
merriment.
We cannot mention anything
particularly interesting in the
whole business, in fact we do not
believe there is anything out Of
the ordinary run of side shows,
but nevertheless the fair proves q
drawing card, and is procuring
lots of amusements for our people
of town and country, and we be-
lieve the people of the town should
make it a business to procure such
attractions occasionally, because
if they carry little money away,
they are of some good to the town,
as they procure some amusement
for all classes of people.

on a search and seizure warrant, was held
before Judge B E. Clark at the municipal
courtroom, Bar Hsrbor, last Friday.
Two lots OF liquor had been seized by
DeputySheriff Bunker. The defendant
testified that neither lot belonged to him;
that one lot was locked in the room of
party who had left week or two before;
and that the other lot belonged to the wife
of an officer, also away, and that in no
way was he violating either the spirit or
the letter of the law.
The testimony for the State did not
satisfy the court that case had been
made out, and the defendant was dis
chareed.
