We have been requested to pub
fish the following letter from Mr..
T. A. Thorgerson, of Berwick, rel
alive to the dredging of a deep
water channel across the Atchafa-

short time meeting will be held
here to discuss the project. The
letter follows:
BERWICK, La, Jan. 1st., 1905.
w: II. Latham; Esq, Editor st. Mary
Banner.
DEAR SIR:
Believing that for the sum not
beyond the ability of or Senators
and congressman to secure, we can
get deep water channel across the
Atchafalaya Bay, thereby making it
possible for sea going vessels to reach
Morgan City, Berwick and Patterson,
thus affording the entire Teche country
cheap water rates on all freights; and
knowing from past experiences that in
these matters our Members of Congress
are pOWeriess unless assisted by the
people interested, L have thought it
well to ask the citizens of the Teche
Valley to think seriously of this mat
ter.
The tremendous advantage OF deep
water to our people cannot be over
estimated. "A fund should be raised.
committees appointed, etc. We should
visit Washington and lay before the
Rivers and Harbors Committee the
advantages to all of US. Statistics
should be gotten up and the cost es-
timated.
All these things can be done only
by the people taking hold of the mat
ter. Ii you are interested in this, let
US get together; rouse the people: call
a convention: send delegates to Wash
ington and keep this matter to the
front until we get deep water.
Yours truly,
L. A. THORGESON.
