Working for the Intercoastal Canal.

Hons. Henri f. Gueydan, of Ver-
million, and q. P. Munson, of Assump-
ton, members OF the executive COM
mittee formed for the propagation of
the micronesia canal movement,
passed through Donaldsonville Mob
day forenoon en- route to Plaquemine,
where they addressed meeting of the
police jury of Iberville parish ia the
interest of an appropriation to meet
the expense of the missionary work
planned by the Inland W aterway
League with the view of securing favor
able action on the canal project by the
government engineers and the next
congress. Several parishes have al
ready made liberal contributions to
the fund, and all the others interested
including Ascension and Assumption
are expected to do likewise. Messrs.
Gueydan and Munson expressed them
selves as being entirely satisfied with
the results achieved to date, and are of
the opinion that the canal will finally
be completed from Donaldsonville to
Brownsville, Texas, as originally out
lined, provided there is concerted and
persistent effort on the part OF the
people of the various parishes and
localities to be traversed and bene-.
fitted by the projected waterway.

Basin, $751;, 263.93: total, $3.50, 095. 81.
Mr.. Sims said the state board of en-
gineers estimated the cost of the locks
at $3.50, 600, and that a member of the
United States engineering board had
figured the cost at $3.50. 900. but, adj
hitting that they would cost as much
as 81, 900, 900 and $50, 900 annually for
maintenance, it had been clearly
shown that there would be net saving
of S125, 900 yearly to the people resid-
ing in the district concerned.
With all points finally covered, it
was agreed that the governor should
call joint meeting of the levee boards
to be held at Donaldsonville on We'd
nesday, March 20, as stated above,
when matters pertaining to the con-
struetion of the locks will be fully dis.
cussed, and, it is hoped, some definite
conclusion arrived at. After thanking

Opening Of Baseball Season.

The Pelican Baseball Club reorga an.
lied for the season of 1907 Tuesday
! night by the election of A. G. Whid-
den as manager and T. A. Leblanc as
secretary and treasurer. 1t is the in
tention of the management to put out q
strong, fast, hard hitting team and,
with this end in view, a professional al
player will be secured as coach.
1t is desired that all local boys with
baseball ambitions join the squad that
will begin practicing at Cleveland
Park next week, as it is from these
that the 1907 team will be selected.
Every man will have an equal chance,
but only those who show evidences of
ability will secure berths. By this
method it is hoped to secure strong
club, aud at the same time give every
local player an opportunity to make
good' Among those of recognized
ability from whom the team will be re-
.cruited are Yentzen, Acosta, Maroney,
Rome, Creoli, A. Guillot, Fl. Weber,
w alter Prejean, Geo. Preiean, D. L.
Weber, Wallace Prejean, Schonberg,
NJ. Variant, Landry, J. Variant and
N. Guillot. From these and the young
sters it is hoped to develop, lineup
should be formed that will hold its
own with any amateur bunch in the
state.
The Hamilton Browns organized at
Gonzales last Sunday and the follow
ing line up was decided upon: Breaud,
catch; Landry, pitch; Leblanc, first;
Nargassans, second; Hebert, short;
Gaudin, left; Gautreau, center; Me-
lancon, right; Babin and Lanoux, ex-
tras. Na:gassans was unanimously
elected manager and Leblanc cap
tim, and with these two well-known
players in command the hard-hitting
aggregation will undoubtedly hang up
a record of victories during the APP
preaching season. The H.-B.'s will
play their first game at Gonzales in
the near future with a team from the
New Orleans Medical College.
The season will open in Donaldson
vile tomorrow with a game between
the Napoleonvilles and the Parker
Blakes, of New Orleans. The down.
the bayou boys claim to be stronger
than ever and the druggists are as
good as any, so the prospects are for
a battle royal on the opening day.
The game will be called at 8 O'Clock.
Arrangements have been made where
by the New Orleans and Alexandria
teams of the Southern and Gulf Coast
leagues, respectively, will play in DON
aIdsonville on Wednesday, March q.

River Falling.

The river at this point is falling
rapidly, and If the present rate of re-
cession IS maintained it will be only a
few weeks before the water reaches it's
normal level for this season of the
year. During the past several days
there has been an average decline of
over three-tenths of a foot every
twenty four hours, and local observers
who are in position to know expect
the river to go down even faster than
this from now on. The gage reading at I
O'Clock this morning was 23-5 feet,
showing a fall of exactly sc feet from
the crest of the high water this season.
