hands OF the sugar planters, and
it was worth but I cent per gal
lon in the market. As a result
1t had been ditched at the refin-
cries IN order to get rid OF it.
Then the discovery was made
that it was good feed for
stock, mules eating it readily,
and it became generally used ,on
the plantations for this purpose,
thereby saving large feed bills.
1t now had been Dissolved that
this moIasses is one of the best
producers of alcohol, being not
even second to potatoes, which
until headed the list.
Joseph B Burguieres of lie
vert, Burguieres & Co. said that
it was true that the large plant
ing interests represented by bis
company had under way plans
for erecting a distiIlery on one
OF their plantations. This dis
tlIIery would be constructed a
long the most modern lines, and
information was being gathered
as to the most approved methods
of manufacture. He was of the
opinion that the manufacture of
alcohol from this substance
would solve the problem as to
the most economical disposition
of crude molasses, which prob
lem had been before sugar men
for many years.
1t has been estimated that ten
gallons of crude moIasseS will
produce seven gallons of alcohol. |
The molasses now sells on the |
market for + cents per gallon,
but this is not its average price,
which IS between and 3 cents.
1t is stated by those who have
made study of the subject that
this molasses is valuable from
the fact that it is a nondescript
product, containing all the in
gradients for making high-proot
alcohol, which has not been con-
verified into sugar, Those who
have looked into the matter
state state, however, that they are as
yet but learning the alphabet on
he subject. So far-reaching
Will be its results that scientists
confess that they only know the
udiments of the subject. No
Lccurate prophecy could be
made as to the manifold uses of
his denatured alcohol as a fuel
nd as a motive power.

SAFE FOR YEARS.

As the famous New Iberia
case has run its course without a
single suspicious case OF illness
resulting from it, we may regard
the menace of yellow fever as
permanently removed from us
for this year. If the state board
OF health can hold the dreaded
down to a single case,
following year in which there
were ten thousand, Louisiana
may look upon itself as safe for
years to come.-Lake Charles

NEW SYSTEM OF REPAIRING
ROADS.

The Police Jury has adopted
new method for keeping the
roads of the Parish in repair.
1t is the same prac-
tically as that in use in St. Mar
tins Parish and has been found
to operate a great deal better
than the one in use here here
! tofore.
From now on the roads will
be attended to by contractors
who will be required under their
agreement to be personally re-
sponsible for the good order of
the roads and bridges of the
Parish. To properly accom-
! plish this, the Parish has been
divided into three districts, the
first of which will be comprised
of the Ist and and 8th wards,
the second of the 9Th, 9TH and
that part of the 9th ward lying
to the west OF the Bayou Teche,
and the third, the sd, 4th and
that part of the 9th ward lying
to the east of the bayou.
Each of these districts will be
let out to contractors who must
be in no other business and who
must give their whole time and
attention to the roads in the dis
trict which are allotted to them.
Each contractor is to work and
keep in repair all roads and build
bridges when the latter cost less
than $500. He must employ
two men and six American mules
from sun up till sun down on
five and a half days each week
and when the outfit fails to work
there is to be reduction of $40
per day or $500 per day for the
contractor and 50 cents per day
for each man and Is cents per
day for each mule.
The contractor is expected to
furnish road machines, to haul
all material for new bridges free
Of cost to trim the hedges and
overhanglng trees on the roads
md to be at the disposal of the
Police Jury when the main
lrterls of travel have been fin
shed. q
Beside this the contractor is
o fill up all bitches of private
parties that cross roads where
proper bridges are not construct
d within three days OF notice.
1t is probable that bids will be
dvertised for soon and that the
'ersons who desire to undertake
he contracts from the first dav
f January 1907 till the first of !
anuary 1908 will be given full ,
Pportunity to figure on the :

LUMBER PRICES HIGH

Prices OF lumber are driving
inventors into the field in search
of some economical substitute
for wood. As'in other matters,
it is likely to prove that neces-
sity is the mother OF invention.
AT any rate the person who has
a fine piece of timber land is
fortunate nowadays. Here are
prices paid for rats of timber
in Florida.
A raft of cypress timber 32s
average brought $40 per M in
the local market this week.

Vacherie, La. Sept.

Vacherie, La, Sept. AL
exls Folse, with a party of four
friends, while hunting along the
margins of Lake des Atlemands,
came upon the rude camp of
three white persons, pitched
near one of the bayous entering
the angle of the lake. The
campers, a man, his wife and an
infant son, claimed to have been
detained there for eighteen days
by floating lily pads.
Their stock of provisions
having been exhausted, they ex-
listed for three days on crabs and
wild beans. The man, who was
about forty years of age, was
evidently i'll and all had suffered
greatly from want of food and
exposure. The hunters left
them some food, promising to
return in the morning with fur
ther supplies. Yesterday at 2
a. m. Mr.. Folse and his brother
and Mr.. Rome returned to the
lamp with supplies, at the same
line offering to take the party
o this place, and hence forward
hem to their destination.
Strange to say, both husband
md wife, who gave no name nor
ny satisfactory account of them
elves, refused to come, stating
nat they would make their way
o Morgan City in their old
kif. The party had no money
nd but little clothing. The
'ther, who had a few tools, sold
saw to MIR. Folse. They
aimed to be from Mississippi.

Why NOT ACT NOW.

There is growing feeling
that the railroad most needed here
is the one proposed last spring
that will give US direct connec.
ton with st. Louis, the nearest
large city in the north. When if
is considered that all that is re-
CURED IS the construction of a
sixty mile stretch of road. the
wonder is that the project should
be allowed to sleep.
While New Iberia and sur
rounding country wants all the
railroads possible and roads run
ing in every direction, a line that
would place US nearer to st.
Louis than New Orleans is to
any of the large cities would
give us an advantage that would
be worth millions to this coun-
try. ltwould Immediately make
us independent of either the
eastern ports and would open I'D
to US markets that are now out
of our reach.
The country hereabouts is
solely agricultural. IN Iberia
Parish there could be raised
enough winter vegetable. to sup
ply the entire Northwest and the
increase to our income from this
source alone would more than
pay for the construction of the
line in five years. More than
that the opening of such a line
as this would increase the value
OF our lands at least two fold. It'll
would place every foot of our
exceedingly rich soil in use and
the Parish would be overfiowed
with industrious truck farmers
in short order.
AT present there is no way
in which we can get our products
to market without delay that |
means loss. We are practically
shut out from the world that
consumes the articles we can
raise. If we produced truck it
would go to waste on our hands.
With a railroad direct to st.
Louis all this would be changed.
We should find a sale for every
ounce of truck that we could
produce and at a time when
prices are the highest and the
profits are the largest.
1t would almost pay every land
owner to give the half of his land
for such a railroad. The re-
half would net him more
than the whole does now, in fact ,
under the changed conditions,
he could provide himself with
arge income. whereas now with I

NEW IMPROVEMENTS.

CANAL MAY BE STOPPED

After the Council adjourned
Thursday morning its members
reassembled as drainage Board
with Mr.. Delahoussaye in the
chair. 1t was shown that the
contractor had dug 1900 feet
during the period since the last
report and he was allowed ST.
227.8o on account. The COM
mlttee reported that it had found
two shallow spots in the portion
dug and it was stated that he
would remedy this in going
over the work the second time.
The matter of the right of
way was then taken up and Mr..
Dulaney said that it appeared
that there was no right of way
over the land of Mr.. Godchaux
and that this point would be
reached soon. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Godchaux objected to
the canal being dug over his
land ard might take steps to
delay the work.
