John Wright, a pioneer of 1854
and resident of Benton county for
81 years, died at his home mile
north of Corvallis, Wednesday
night. The funeral took place at
10 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
the interment was in Odd Fellows
cemetery. The deceased was So
years Of age. His death was due
to the weight of years more than
to the ravages of disease. He was
bachelor, and in the last months
of hs life was cared for by Mr..
and Mrs. Brien.
John Wright was born in Vir-
ginia, December II. 1891. He re-
sided for time in Indiana and in

state to Oregon. He settled in Ben

A NEW CHURCH.

For some time it has been apparent
to the Catholic Church authorities
that the present Church edifice, St.
Peters, although large, was INSULT
cient to accommodate the yearly in
creasing number Of communicates,
therefore the Archbishop has had the
matter brought to his notice and he
10 now considering the matter with a
view Of erecting q second Catholic
Church in this City to meet the me-
ceesities Of the situation, which are
beginning to be pressing. In discuss
ing this question, the one OF site for
the new building naturally takes the
precedence. Shall it be up town, or
in the eastern part of the City. We
Of course have no preference, but leave
that matter to be settled entirely by
those interested. There are many
eligible sites that now can be ac-
quifed at very reasonable figures. It
10 possible the Church owns some
property already in a good locality.
Be that a. it may, We feel assured the
matter will be satisfactorially settled,
reference being had to all the needs
of the Catholic communicates. A
new Church would greatly relieve the
situation and would increase the eff
cheney Of the work, besides giving
greater convenience and comfort to Q
large number. We trust the move
meut may soon materialixe into an
edifice commensurate with all the de-
nands that may be made upon it.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
EOUALlZERS.
New IBERIA, July 10th, 1908.

New IBERIA, July 10th. 1908.
Pursuant TO adjournment, the Board OF
Reviewers and Equalizers met this day
with President Labau in the chair and all
the members in attendance.
Mr.. V. J. Poirson, recently appointed
Assessor to succeed Mr.. John Broussard,
(resigned) appeared before the Board and
informed same that he would stand by the
assessment made by Mr. Broussard -
which the Board had refused TO accept at
their initial meeting because i'll the
transfer of the office from Broussard TO
himself, he had obligated himself to
Broussard.
At this iuncture, eX-Assessor Broussard
appeared and asked that he be permitted
10 interrupt the proceedings IN order to
make statement which he thought the
Board was entitled TO. Mr.. Broussafd
said, in substance, that when he assumed
the duties Of the Assessors office, he EN-
tered into written agreement at lafay-
cite, with the Assessors of the different
parishes of the State to raise the assess
ments of the Parish of Iberia, in accord
ance with the wishes OF the Governor
One Million Dollars. He said that he
went into this agreement with provso.
That he made the assessments, raised
same, as per agreement. but the increase
did not amount to million dollars.
That he submitted said assessments to
the Board for their adoption and as the
Board, representing the tax payers, refused
to accept his figures, rather than force
do under the law, he preferred to resign.
To a question, as to whether he had, in
the transfer OF the office. placed Mr.. Poir-
son, his successor under certain obliga-
tons. MIR. Broussard answered "Ab-
solutely none.
Mr.. Schexnayder suggested that III view
Of the fact that Mr.. Poirson had not made
the present assessment and that it was too
late to make another, that the Board with
the concurrence of the Assessor, adopt
the assessment of 1904 as that of 1905, as.
ding to the roll of 1904 on the improve
ments Of the country tax payers which
have not heretofore been assessed. This
was agreeable to the Board
Mr.. Porson then ked for few min
utes to consult Mr. Willie Burke and then
returning, requested the Board to adjourn
until 10 o. clock the next day, when he
would decide finally

THE CROP SITUATION.

Up to this writing the weather OF
this week has been all that can be de-
sired. Bright sunshiny days with
northwest winds, have dried up the
fields and allowed the great quantity
of water that fell last week to run off.
The subsidene of these flood rains
have left many fields in very bad con
dition. in some places the young corn
and cotton were completely submerged
for days, which will entirely destroy
them and as the season is too far ad
vanced for replanting, the lands will
practically be idle and Improbable
for this year. 1t is safe to say that
corn. cotton, peas will be a failure on
many places this year. Sugar cane
faEes better, being crop that re-
quires large amount Of moisture, 1T
has sustained but little injury which
subsequent, good weather will entire
ly obliterate. In the sections of the
Parish where good drainage is had
there has been but little damage done,
further than to delay cultivation and
the laying bye of the cane crop-a
large part of which had been accom-
plished before the rains. We expect
to see as large cane crop as last
year. for the conditions at present
point to that desirable outcome.
While this will be welcome
fact to many, there are large
number Of our small farmers who de-
pend upon cotton and corn and peas
for their sustenance, to these the loss
will be serious, as the price OF corn
must of necessity advance. entailing
in the start heavy expense. We
would advise liberal harvesting of
forage for the stock, anything that
will make good hay. should be cut
and cured as soon as weather condi-
tions will permit. The present wet
spell has produced luxuriant growth
Of crab grass, which cut and cured nice
ly will be q great help in the feed till
next year and if properly baled can
be sold at good prices Potatoes can
yet be planted. the coarser varieties
can be fed to stock and are easily
raised, the areas that are lost to corn
might be planted in potatoes with
good results. OF course all this is on
the theory that the remainder OF the
season will be favorable.

THE ASSESSMENTS.

The Police Jury met last Monday
and Tuesday to take into considera-
tion the problem Of assessments for
the year 1905, and to sit as Board OF
Reviewers. After considering the
assessment as made out by MIR. John
Broussard and turned over by him to
the new Assessor, Mr.. Y. ]. Poirson,
the Jury refused to accept the same,
on the ground that the assessment was
excessive and in view OF the poor
prospects for crops burdensome and
should not be accepted, this action
was unanimous by the Police Jury.
The entire subject is covered IN the
proceedings Of the Police Jury pub
lished in another column.
We do not believe in adding to the
burdens of our tax payers and il IT is
the intention Of the Government to
raise the assessment Of the Parish or
rather make larger showing OF as
sessable property, it would in our es-
LlHlHJiOu U6 "Ibh ACoo AAASoASA'
and more justice if the assessments
were equalized, making all owners Of
property stand on the same basis
Were this done uniformly and cour-
ageously, we believe the object could
be attained. As rule small proper
ties pay o greater proportion Of the
tax than larger ones.
We notice that in another Parish,
a large corporation had its assessment
raised to the amount Of half million
dollars which had enjoyed immunity
heretofore. It is possible some of our
larger properties are not carrying
their just proportions of the burdens.
The position Of the Assessor is a
most important and often embarrassing
one, but he should be actuated by an
honest desire to do justice to all and
favors to none and then leave the re-
suits to those to whom he is amenable.

ADJOURNED MEETING.

July 18th, 1905.
The Board of Reviewers convened this
day with all the members present.
The President announced that the Board
was ready to hear from Mr.. Poirson.
Mr. Poirsen said that after considering
the matter, he had concluded to adopt the
assessments made by Mr.. Broussard /;

by Mr.. Migues was read and adopted by
the following vote Yea outte, Blan-
chet, Decuir, Dngas. Dallas, Goula, Lee

Nay-None.
"Resolved by the Police Jury of Iberia
Parish assembled as Board OF Reviewers
That whereas, an unfavorable season
has seriously injured aud now threatens
the destruction Of the crops OF corn. cotton
and cane of the people Of this Parish, We
deem it cruel and unjust 10 add to these
burdens during time OF saeh calamity
and therefore oppose any increase OF the
assessment of lands for the Parish for 1908.
That whereas, by Act No. of 1902, we
the Police Jury are deprived of the power
to fix, adjust and equalize assessments,
subjeeting our PEOPLE to taxation without
representation.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we refuse
to approve the assessment rolls Of Iberia
Parish for 1905 and leave the responsible
ity for the increased burdens placed upon
our people to the Assessor of Iberia Par

OUR REMOVAL.

The Board of Health seems to be a
favorite subject of attack by the City
Council. for at its last meeting it
again advanced to the firing line and
decapitated some of the members, the
editor of the Enterprise being one,
The fact that we did not hold an en-
bossed sheepskin of large dimensions,
with the large satin ribbon and gold
en- seal of the Corporation with the
sign Manual Of the Mayor attached,
and the same handsomely framed and
hung upon the outer walls OF our
Office, was sufficient to declare our
place ON the board vacant. Yet the
Interpretation Of the matter by legal
minds, the City Attorney among the
number, contend that the notice by
the City Council, through it's Secre-
tary, informing us of our appoint
ment as member of the Board of
Health. fact further authenticated
by the publishing of the official pro-
ceedings in the matter appearing in
the columns of the Official Journal of
the City Council, was of itself sutfi-
Gent authority for us to act in the
capacity and in which we qualified &C.
cording to law and which position we
filled until it was necessary to recog-
nize some political favorite by the
present Council, when the bald sub
terfuge of mo commission was used
to Dust Us. At present there are two
Boards Of Health and will be until
the Courts decide which is the legal
one. Until that decision is made
we shall consider ourselves member
of the Board of Health.
