eiate member, and the name OF the

The roof of the kitchen of Widow AL
fred Esneault's residence in Faubourg
la Pipe caught fire from a defective
aue about 1910 O'Clock Thursday, and
had not the flames been discovered at
once aud prompt assistance rendered
by the neighbors and the hands from
the nearby Esneault lumber mill, it is
more than probable the building would
have been burned to the ground, as a
high wind was prevailing at the mo-
ment. BY hard work the flames were
soon subdued and no other damage
resulted other than the destruction OF
the roof of the kitchen.

Two Railroads Through New River

The following extract from the AS
cension letter in the Louisiana Planter
Of March 25 will prove of much inter-
est to our readers:
1.-THE people of the extensive and
fertile New River section of this par
ish are much elated over the prospect
Of being soon connected with the rest
Of the country by rail. Construction
| z7yooF i Is IS IL progress oasffae proposed
line of the Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company's road, origi-
nally known as the Red River Valley,
which is to cross Bayou Manchac and
enter Ascension at or near Hope Villa,
cross New River just below Gonzales
and go on to New Orleans between the
Mississippi Valley and Illinois Cen
trail roads. One of the effects of the
building and operation OF this line
will doubtless be to make q flourish
ing town of the present dim1nutive VIII
lage of Gonzales, and in anticipation
of this inevitable result prudent prop
erty holders of the vicinity are al
ready laying off tracts of land in
town lots and preparing to dispose of
them at auction.
s'Besides the L. r. & N. C. road,
the New Tsiver section is promised an
extension of the Belle Helene Planting
Company's railway line, which is of
standard gauge and connects with the
Mississippi Valley on Belle Helene
plantation. The main purpose of this
line will be to bring cane to the Belle
Helene sugar factory and cotton to the
Belle Helene gin, but the development
Of general freight and passenger
business with the productive and pop
ulous interior section of the parish
will be an almost necessary concomi-
tant Of the enterprise. The opening of
rail communication with New River is
likely to stimulate the culture of sugar
cane in that part OF the parish, where
the natural drainage and easily Gull
tivated soil tend to facilitate the pro-
| duction of heavy tonnage at moderate
cost. Given railroad shipping facil-
tiles and another season of low priced
cotton, the New River interior will
doubtless blossom into big cane
| field, so to speak. ~

L Compliment TO Louisiana.

PresidentRoosevel IS abstraction
| with the Panama Canal Commission
work-or failure to WORK impelled
him TO request the resign ations OF all
the members, which were promptly
forthcoming; and just before leaving
Washington last Monday for his trip
to Texas and the west, the president
signed the commissions of a new set Of
appoIntees, as follows.
Theodore P. Shonts, Of Chicago,
/. chairman; Charles 3. Magoon, gov
ernor of canal zone; John E. Wallace,
chief engineer; Rear Admiral NJ. z.
Endicott, U. S. N: Brigadier General
Peter C. Haines, u. S. A; Col. Os-
| wald NJ. Ernst, corps engineers, U. S.
A.: Benjamin M. Harrod, c. E., of
Louisiana.
Mr.. Wallace was chief engineer Of
the canal under the former board, but
| was not himself commissioner, hence
the only member of the original board
to receive a reappointment is Major
Harrod, Of this state. This is not
only a personal tribute to the major,
| who is a distinguished civil engineer
| and served with credit to himself and
advantage to his state and the country
at large on the Mississippi River
Commission, bat it IS a compliment to
Louisiana as we'll, and one which the
press and people ought not to be slow
or reluctant to recognize and ac-
| knowledge.
No state in the Union has a greater
compar alive interest in the prosecu
tion and realization of the gigantic
project to connect the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans with ship canal across
the Isthmus of Panama than has
Louisiana, and it is at once important
and appropriate that we should have
direct representation in the body that
| is intrusted with the direction and
control of the momentous enterprise.
| With characteristic acumen President
Roosevelt perceived the fitness of such
a selection, and to this happy faculty
OF accurate discernment Louisiana is
! indebted for the high compliment and
valuable service received at the hands
of the nations chief executive in the
] shape of Major Harrod g reappoint-
ment as a member Of the Panama
/ Canal Commission.

Bayou Lafourche Dam Inspected.

The joint executive committee of the
Atchafalaya and Lafourche Basin
Levee Boards met here Tuesday for
the purpose of inspecting the Bayou
Lafourehe dam, particularly withre
enee to the new work recently done
with view Of Strengthening the en-
bankment and preventing the slough
ing that gave SO much trouble last
year. The members present we're:
Thos. Beary, George Lorio, j. S.
Brady, and W. J. McCune, of the La
fourche board; v. M. Lefebvre, Hon
ore Dugas and Z. G. Erwin, of the At
chafalaya board.
The committee authorized the con-
struction of temporary mud dam
across the bayou about 300 feet below
the foot bridge, in order that basin
might be formed between this dam and
the permanent dyke. When the small
dam is completed one syphon will be
placed in operation and the basin
filled with water, for the purpose of
removing to point below the bridge
the dredgeboat which was used last
year in deepening the bayou channel
and which now lies aground near the
big dyke. After this has been done,
and as soon as the work of strengthen
ing the dyke has been completed, the
temporary dam will be removed and
the full battery of five sypbons will be
put to work pumping fresh water into
the bayou. It is expected that in a
week or ten days everything will be in
readiness for the syphon battery to-
begin operations.

ing took place in box-ear attached

the train at Centreville, one of them
entering the car occupied by Jackson
| and the mare, while the others stationed
themselves at each end Of the car and
in positions from which they could

a revolver the negro in the car forced
| Jackson to divest himself of pair Of
new tan shoes and a jersey, turning
over his own shoes and jersey in ex-
change. The man behind the gun in
cidentally secured all of j ackson' s
money, part of which was in his shoes
and the remainder in the jersey. After
he had complied with the negroes de-
mands, jackson went TO the door of
the car and attem pied TO open it,
when the desperate leveled his pistol
and fired one shot, the bullet striking
Jackson in the hand and ranging up
ward, making four wounds in the arm.
| The train crew heard the shot and
brought the train to a stand still,
giving the three negroes an opportu
! nifty to jump off and make good their
escape. The train was backed into
Centreville and Jackson's wounds
were dressed without delay, after
which the railroad people provided
the young negro with ticket to
Donaldsonyille and placed him aboard

without mishap and is getting along
nicely. The mare was not harmed in
