THE PROPOSED ELECRTIC LINE.

The Bayou Teche Electric Com
pany, which has for its object the
building and operating of an electric
railway from New Iberia to Berwick, q,
and the supplying of light and power
to a large section of country. will be
organized at an early date and the
construction work begun.
The corporation is in the hands of
Gen f. F. Myles, who has large in
terests in that section, and he says
that practically all of the 81, 600, 600 of
capital has been secured, the franchise
granted and the route located, and
that plans for other improvements in
cident to the railway are being pre-
pared.
This is only one of several import
ant railway projects on foot in Louis

benefit to New Orleans, operating as
they will through a fertile section of
the State and opening new territory
to settlement and development. The
Sugar Belt Railroad is in course of
construction in the Bayou Lafourche
section, details are being worked out
for the Bowie Northwestern, and the
contract has been awarded for the
building of the New Orleans, Houma
and Northwestern, from Morgan City
to Lone Star, Tex, distance of about
seventy five miles. These are all
steam railways, and in addition an
electric line has been projected from
Miss, to Port Allen,
across the Mississippi valley. Gen.
Myles' proposed Teche electric line is
the fifth important project either con-
structing or planned,
The section of the State through
which the Teche line will run is one
of the richest in agricultural possibil
tiles in the State, and in addition to
passengers. the line will be
equipped for heavy freight and express
business and plans are being perfected
for a pleasure resort on the lake at
Charenton, where there is splendid
beach shaded by immense live oaks.
A pavilion and hotel will be erected
on this beach with the necessary bath
houses, and will probably become a
favorite resort for the 10000 or more
persons who reside within the area
by the route of the new
road. Gen Myles has had this pro-
ject under consideration for some time,
but SAYS he made no effort to work
out his plans until he had gone into
every detail He feels confident of
success. The road will be about fifty
five miles long, and quick schedules
will be run. The equipment will be
of the best, and it is proposed to main
tain speed of about fifty miles an
hour, actual running time, The
power house will be located about two
and one half miles west of Franklin
which is about halfway from New
Iberia to Berwick The road will
pass through number of cities in
some of which local street railway
serv ice will be maintained. The ci-
ties and towns through which it will
pass are Patterson, Bortel, Centre
Vile, Calumet, Franklin, Baldwin,
Sorrel and Jeanerette.
We expect to have everything in
shape to begin work on this road in
the early fall. said Gen Miles yes
terday, "and when completed we will
make traffic arrangements with the
Southern Pacific that will be advan-
tageous to both that system as we'll as
our road. The present facilities do

DISCOURTESY.

The habit of treating those who are
nearest the dearest to us with discour-
tesy, is one that clouds the sunshine
of too many homes. If you are young
and looking for prince, just test his
home conduct Do not be guided in
your choice by what young man is
in the parlor; find out what he is in
his mothers sitting room. Do not
judge him by the way he can tip his
hat, but by the way he treats the old,
especially his parents. The home
where mutual consideration rules is
always happy one, if it be the top
fiat of a cheap tenement or an abode
hut on the prairies. There should be
a eertain respect observed in the most
intimate relationships. Wives have
no more right to search their hus-
bands pockets than they have to take
the same liberty with an acquaintance.
We have no more right to rob the
baby's bank than to force the vault of
the national bank. We may hurt the
feelings of II society acquaintance and
there is no great harm done, beyond
estrangement of two people who care
but little for each other; but when we
stab the fond mothers heart, that
loved us with love next in tenderness
to heavens or wound the sensitive
feelings of a brother or sister, life
is not long enough to extract the sting
from memory. Love's opportunity
will soon vanish forever and out
through the sunset of life; those we
love dearest and best have flown away
like birds to summer land and our
words of endearment are thrust back
like voices that beat against wall of
rock. Weekly Herald.

not meet the requirements of that
section, where the POPULATION is
rapidly increasing, and when the road
is completed shall arrange for the
settlement and developments of the
lands along the road by offering in-
ducements to immigrants. We will
not be in competition with the South
ern Pacific, but will work as a feeder
for that system In addition to the
railway we propose to furnish light
and power for the people in the cities
and surrounding country, and estab-
lish a system of automatic electric
pumps along the levee which will les
son the cost of irrigation to the plant
ers We will maintain local street
railway service in New Iberia, Jeane-
rette, Franklin and other places where
conditions will warrant it. The road
will cost about 81, 600, 600.
1--WE have been granted the fran
chise and right of way, the latter be-
ing along the public road, which fol-
lows the course of the Teche, but we
are securing private right of way
from the properties abutting on the
road. so as to lesson the possibility of
accidents. We will comply with the
recent act of the Legislature and pro-
vide vestibules for the motormen and
conductors in winter, and will have
a trailer attached to nll the cars for
the negroes, giving them accommoda
tion equal to those provided for the
white people. We will ferry across
the Bayou Teche at Chareuton, where
hotel and pleasure resort will be es-
Charenton. There is IL beautiful
shell beach there about three.
quarters of mile long, which will be
graded for the hotel and pavilion,
while lighthouses will be built on the
lake shore, where the bathing is
splendid The hotel will have about
one hundred rooms and will be mo-
dern in all it's appointments The
beach is shaded by enormous live oaks,
making an ideal place for resort.
1--WE will be equipped for handling
freight and express of all kinds, which
will prove great convenience to the
people along the line of the road W.
will operate the express business on
the stamp system, the packages being
delivered at their destination by ouI
conductors. We will run Saturday
and Sunday excursions to Lake Char.
enton, and / think this place will be
come a popular resort.
1.-THE money for the road has been
pledged. and we are now only await-
ing the working out of details to be-
gin work. Our power station Will be
located at Garden City, two and hall
miles from Franklin and about hall
way between New Iberia and Berwick,
and We will establish a ferry from
Berwick to Morgan City for hanlIne
business from the latter place.
s'In addition TO the main power
house at Garden City, we will have
at six points along the line substita
tions, to convert the high pressure al
ternating current to the standard 55t
volt direct current for operating til,
cars. We will also establish regular
stations along the line, with open fial
stations mt various places for the con
venience of the travelling public. Th'
tracks will be of i0-pound steel rails
including sidings and switches and
see no reason why the road should no
be paying venture from the start. .

Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston
a few years ago built a
Yacht to complete for the honor of de-
Tending the cup, and because of the
shabby treatment accorded him by the
New York millionaires he wrote q
book, which was issued privately, to
show that at least he could best them
or beat them. Those whose memory
reaches that far back will recall the
delicate sensation it eau ;ed, illustrat-
ing the idea that it is not always to
be desired that ones enemy should
write a book. This is Mr.. Lawson Is
way of pun fishing his enemies for he
is now publishing serially the true
story Of Amalagmated Copper, over
which he and Rockefeller have been
fighting some time. 1t promises to be
the greatest political sensation OF the
age, for in his preface he says: II
