milton. Experiments nave shown
that the operation of the engine
with this mixture is perfect. 1t
was estimated by experts who
testified before the congressional
committee that 900, 900 gasoline
motors are now used IN the
United States, with the number
rapidly on the increase, the last
year seeing an addition of no
less than 100000.
These engines are adapted to
farm use for pumping water,
cutting feed, filling silos, thresh-
ing grain and manv other pur-
poses. The principal objection
to gasoline is the danger from
fire. A gasoline fire can not be
quenched with water. In fact,
water scatters it. But an alco-
hol fire is easily put out with
water.
1t is figured by the experts in
Washington that the cost of the
denatured alcohol, even if made
from corn at ~ cents a bushcl,
will not be higher than 20 cents
a gallon. Other experts say
that denatured alcohol can be
made for little over IA cents
gallon.

TWO COURT DECISIONS.

The Supreme Court has rem
dered two decisions of interest
to lawyers and clients here. They
are as follows:
State OF Louisiana ex rel,
Edwin S. Broussard, District
Attorney, VS.. George l1ender-
son, Sheriff. r
The sheriff having denied
that the district attorney was en-
titled to a commission on fines
criminal cases, and refused TO pay
him such commission on certain
fines already collected, and de
Clared his intention not to pay
same on future fines, held that,
on a mandamus suit to compel
the payment of the commissions,
the only amount III dlputc IS
the commission on the fines al
ready collected, and that the
commissions on the furturc fines
cannot be taken into computa-
ton for determining the jurls-
dlction of the appellate court.
Courts can only decide actual
controversies; they cannot pre-
scribe tor the future. Man
damus will not lie to compile a
general course of official con
duct.
Appeal dismissed with leave
to transfer to court OF appeal,
Joesph Warren Foster VS..
Andrew Mayors.
I. Plaintiff, in a petitory act

CANAL MAKES PROGRESS.

The Southern Drainage Board
met this morning with Mr.. De
lahoussaye in the chair and all
the members present except
Mr.. Dallas and Mr.. Fisher.
The committee that was APP
pointed to examine the canal re
ported that it had gone out to
the place where the digging has
been going on and had found
that matters were progressing
much more satisfactorily than
was expected.
1t was found that the contractor
was making better progress than
was the case when the last re-
port was made and there was en-
couragement to believe that the
digging would GO ahead better
when the timber shall have been
left behind.
MIR. Thomas, the contractor,
reported that he had extended
the canal about 400 feet since
the last report. He said that
since that part of the cana
which passed through the sunken
stumps had been passed he was
able to go ahead on an average
of SO to 90 feet per day. On
one day he had made IT'S feet.
When he has finished the tim
Der he expects to average about
40 feet per day and at this rate
may have the canal completed |
in the first part Of next year. /
The Central Railroad CON-
pany offered to make the sur
vey of that part of the line that
had not been surveyed for
nothing and the offer was accept
ed. 1t was said that the sur
vey could be done in a day or
two and the engineers of the
would do the work at
once. After the meeting sew
.ral members OF the Board
visited the K. X. Cos. Office and
noti6ed the officials that the
offer had been accepted.
