THE CITY OF ERATH'
Great Possibilities in the
Future for the Little
Prairie Village.
The Towns Growth is Steady and
Continuous.

The little town of Era.h is sit
rated upon one of the highest
points N the Nermllon prairie
some six miles east Of the parish
seat, II has y pretty location ami
il surrounded for miles IN every
direc: ion nv fertile and cuItivahle
lands II - near enough I" tue
sea 10 he blessed with refreshing
breezcs throughout the summer.
Its trade is ever developing and IN
cieaslng IN volume.
Mr.. Aug Erath, some years
ago. was n prominent factor III sc
curing the location Of the line and
promoting the building of the The
ria and NermiliOn Railroad. When
this station was first plated i
was given his name Its growth
was slow for the first years OF its
existence, but those Who located
there were firm in their convic
tons as to the future Importance
of the point. aud by their Persis-
tence, sagacity and unanimity Ct
purpose their hopes are oeing
realized. 1t has already become
quite distributing point and Is
boldly reaching out for the trade
of a greater area.
Bayou Tigrc heads III. the prairie
a short distance to the north OF
Erath. One of its branches runs
around the rear Of the town. This
affords the drainage for the sec
ton, Like most Of the coast
streams and bayous it needs i'm
provements. A dredge boat is
now building, which will be en-
ployed in dredging out Bayou
Tigre from its mouth to the town.
This will, when completed, bring
q good depth Of sea water to the
portals of the town, and thereby
place it in line for water commune
cation with Vermilion bay and its
tributaries.
The lower Bayou Tigre is alrea
dy boating the lumber used in
that section from the Morgan City
mills. Much of the produce from
tat section finds it way to Gal
weston by luggars.
VermiliOn bay is but short dis
lance from Erath. Small light
draft launches can now be brought
up the bayou to within few acres
of the town With the inexbaus-
tible fisheries and .oyster beds
of the bays and gulf it coast will
afford a rich field forlabOr for the
denizens of the town.
Mr.. Leopold Leblanc, Of Erath,
has shipped large quantities OF
lumber to Marsh Island, where j,
has been used in building break
waters to protect it's QUEER coast
against the gulf. The island is
we'll stocked with cattle Under
, the improved conditions Eratll
would be the nearest Shipping
: point.

THE BAYOU BELLE

Her Speed Test on n Mea ured Cour sc
Is Satisfactory.

On Friday afternoon of last
week we were placed under furth
er obligations by The Kindness and
courtesy OF VI, Arthur Saltou for
til" pleasure Of short nip in bis
gasoline launch, BaNor Belle
We were fist struck with III"
pleasing effects OF her new finish
When first launched her hull was
finished IN white The effect was
beautiful, but experience showed
that it was not StIvlceabIo in the
Teche where there is so much
waste fuel oil floating upon the
surface of the bayou. Her pre-
sent color il dark green, which
does not sol SO readily.
The little vrasel has been re

aud artistic taste of Mr.. Saiton.
The engine has been so nicely
adjusted aud arranged that it
starts off with but single turn Of
the ilywheel. BY switch, control
ling the electric current he il able
to run the engine on one cylln-
der, thereby propclling the boat
at half speed. A simple throw
OF the switch will develop the
full power Of the engine; its in
hucnce upon the speed Of the boat
is wonderful
THIS same day, Mr. Salton test
ed her for speed on that section of
the bayou between the two town
bridges. running down stream
against the strong wind that was
blowing at the time. 1t is claimed
Mat the distance is one mile less
twenty yards The boat covered
the distance in ) min. Is see rs
nearly as could he determined
without the facility Of u stop

she was capable of a speed of pos
sihly a little better than 10 miles
an hour.
Mr.. Salton has amply demon
strated in this boat his ability &c
build a beautiful boat az well as 4
speedy one; getting about all the
speed that one could reasonably
expect to get out of engines nc
larger than those carried 10y the
Bayou Belle. We trust that Mr.
Sa'ton's order hooks will soon bs
tilled for just such crafts and that
his venture in boat building will
develop into one of large magn
tude, nccessitating extensive shops

ing machines.

The Trolley Line.

"Vuudy uvluIuS, apparently :
no step had been taken to pre-
serve the rights Of the promoter
of the trolley line, so extensively
advertised for this city and SUI
urbs. The mails brought no word
to his honor, The Mayor. and the
people grew pessimistic as the day
wore apace. The fact that the
city then ne d $1,000 in its treasu
ry, deposited by Mr. Conery, to
be forfeited to the city should he
fail to make the further deposit
Of $4,000 before the close Of the
10Th, afforded no degree Of salts
faction to the property tax payers
of this city. The people were an
xiOus, and evidences of doubt il,
the city's ever getting a street
railway system were becoming
manifest in speech here and there.
At about noon the Mayor re
celyed a summons 10 the long dis
lance telephone. He was then
advised by Mr.. Conery, who was
at New Orleans, that the neccssa-
ry kilograms had been forwarded
to preserve the franchise granted
by this city. A few minutes later
the following: telegram was de
llvercd by the Postal Company:
Hon. &. G. Laughliu, Mayor.
New Iberia, La.
Have arranged through COsmo-
pOlitan here AMI the correspOn-
dence your Peoples Natl Bark to
pay you at once four thousand
dollars balance deposit due Oh
street railway franchise. Please
confirm payment by wire to me
care Cosmopolitan Bank and
Trust Co.
w. p. Conery.
Another telegram, addressed to
the Cashier of the Peoples Ma
tional Bank Of this city by the
Cosmopolitan Bank and Trust Co.,
Of New Orleans, became the basis
Of the transfer from the Peoples
National Bank to Mayor. G. G.
Laughlin of the sum of $4,000,
which the Mayor received ana de-
posted with the funds Of the city.
Thus the anxious moment has
passed, and the people are ,ejolccd
to know that the forfeit money
has reached such proportions as
to warrant confidence in the build
ing Of the trolley within the
specified time. The franchise is
conditioned that the road shall
be IN operation in 10 months from
the date of the last payment. In
the event it is not, both tue $4,000
and the franchise are to forfeit
and become the absolute property
Of the city.
Considering the limited time in
which this road M lst be finished
it is but reasonable to expect &C
tive doings upon our streets in
the very near future. Materials
will he assembled first. IN all
probability the site for the power
house was decided and bound be
fore tho final deposit was made.

this grea public utility will mark

DIFFICULT PROBLEM
EightHour Law Question Is Worrying
Government Heads.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-The executive
Offices of the various departments have
already found themselves confronted with
much difficulty in the application Of the
Presidents order to report violations Of
the eight-hour lay by Government con-
tractors, The subject is a very COM
pick one and IL is apparent that the
Attorney General will be called upon 10
pass many opinions on the application Of
law TO the different classes of employees.
The question has been raised as TO
whether the decision affects work on ma
val vssels In private yards The con-
tractors insist the law does not operate
outside OF a Government reservation and
that the ship is their own property until
IL is turned over TO the Government.
The Navy department officials appear 10
believe that as the Government pays in
stallments OF money for the ships as the
work progresses upon them IL is the
actual owner of the vessels. This mat
ter is so important that a test case is
certain to follow.
