Total for Reunion Now Nearing
$4,000 Mark-Much More
Needed.

Peculiarly speaking, yesterday was
a glorious day for the ex-Confederates
OF this city, as tho old soldiers suc-
ceeded in adding ss44- to their reunion
fund. and thus brought the total in
hand up to s13,513.75. 1t is still neces-
sary. however, for them to raise S1l,-
.4S6.25 more, as their.actual needs re-
qulre $4,000. s5sl5
perhaps the most,appreciated OF all
the gifts was a check for 500. which
came from Miss Mary GUSTS Lee, the
daughter of General Robert Il. Lee,
who Is staying at the Jefferson Hotel.
The check was enclosed in q letter
handed Colonel John w. Gordon. the
general chairman, by Attorney-Genera
Anderson. 1t goes without saying that
1t was gratefully acknowledged.

Cruiser Des Molnes ln the River.

The United States cruiser Des
| Moines passed up the river about II
O'Clock this forenoon en- route to Nat.
chez, Miss, where she will participate
in the approaching carnival festivities
at that place. The stately craft was
given a noisy greeting by the various
vessels in the local harbor and re-
sponded with several blasts from her
mighty whistle.
The Des Moines is u sister ship TO
the Denver, having been launched in
1902 and completed two years later.
She was built IN Quincy, Mass, at
a cost to the government OF S212, 1926.
and her full complement of men is SOB.
Her measurements are as follows: Dis
placement, 5000 tons; length, 292 feet:
beam, IA feet; draft, is 2-3 feet; horse
power, $500. The Des M oines Is
equipped with twin screws, and her
armament consists of ten 5-ineh guns,
eight 6-pounders, two 1-pounders and
four machine guns. Her registered
speed is sixteen knots.
The officers in command OF the
vessel are: VIM. f. Halsey, COM

January Weather.

A summary of meteorological con-
ditions for the month of January, as
complied by Local Observer W. D.
Park, shows that the maximum tenn
perature was IS degrees. registered on
the 9th and 18th, and the minimum 81
degrees, attained on the 22nd. Rain
fell on four days, the total precipita-
ton aggregating LAT inches, as COM
pared with 415 inches recorded in the
same month last year. There were Is
clear days, partly cloudy and 6 on
which the sun did not shine at all.
The stage of the river at I O'Clock
this morning was 27.5 feet above ex-
IRENE low water mark, a rise of ex-
actly one foot within the past week.
At this point the flood stage, or
'tdanger line, !" is % feet, hence it
is apparent that as yet there is no
real cause for alarm over the high
water situation. Observer Park is of
the opinion that a rise of about three
feet more may be expected before the
flood begins to subside.

GnharnafnrfaI Forecast.

Although the next election is yet
more than fourteen months away. dis
eussfon, gossip and log-rolling re1a-
tive TO the next governor and several
other state officers are already rife
and gradually growing in volume and
intensity. The Chief recently cited
the list OF names which are being as
ISOLATED with the gubern atorial candi-
dacy-including Lieut.. Gov. Sanders,
Gen. Jastremski, Congressman Broas-
sard, Attorney General Guion, Gen.
Estopinal, Supt. OF Education Aswell
and Hon. Theodore Wilkinson-and
it is not improbable that several others
will be added as the contest WAKES
apace. Naturally the friends and adj
vocates of each prospective candidate
contend that their particular man is
the strongest and most available, and
we shall not undertake at this time to
differentiate these conflicting claims
Or to advance any views of our own
on the relative chances or merits Of
the various aspirants. We refer to
the subject just now merely to quote
an expression of opinion from prom
inent Democratic official, given in the
course of conyers alton with friend
in New Orleans street ear one day
last week.
Of course the talk was not intended
for publication, hence the name of the
official will not be divulged, but there
is no doubt that his views on the sub
ject of the race for governor are shared
by a great many of the men who, like
himself, are in close touch with the
manipulators OF the political machine
and eonvers ant with the trend of pop
ular sentiment throughout the state
and more particularly in the metrop-
oils.
1.-THE fight will be between Sanders
and Wilkinson = every body knows
that" said Judge Blank, as we will
call him. aBut what about Brous-
sard?n asked the other party to the
convers alton. 81 think he stands a
good chance, as he is very popular in
the third district and other parts of the
state. ssPshawl" replied the judge,
"Brousssard won't be In it. lie won't
get as many votes as Jastremski, and
won't stand ghost of a show against
Sanders. No, sir, it is going to be
Sanders against the field, and Wilkin-
son is the only man who can be de-
pended on to beat him.
It is understood that Mr.. Wilkin-
sons candidacy is likely to be for
mally announced very soon, and there
can be no doubt tn at he will be one of
the most formidable competitors il the
race if he really decides to enter it.

Watch the I.aYeasl

We are going to have higher water
in the Mississippi river for the next
few weeks than has been recorded for
number of years. It is yet matter
of surmise as to whether the food will
be as great as any that has preceded
it, but that it will be dangerously
great is beyond question.
Therefore, it behooves our people
to set close watch upon the levees
and to take instant prec aution TO re-
pair any weakness that may develop
in these enbankments. The state en-
gineers, the levee boards and their
subordinates are on the qui yive, do
ing all that seems necessary to pre-
pare for the crisis, but they must not
be relied upon unaided to assure pro-
lection from disaster. Every man,
woman and child living behind the
earthen bulwarks that keep the big
river within bounds should be admon-
ished to join in the vigil to be main
tanned during the prevalence of the
food, and to make instant report OF
any evidence OF danger, however
slight, that may be detected.
What seems an insignificant leak,
crevice or slough may suddenly be
transformed into a menace OF gravest
proportions unless timely preventive
steps are taken. AS an ounce OF pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure, so
can few sacks of dirt, few pieces
of lumber and few hours Of we'll
directed labor often avert the calam-
ity of a disastrous crevasse and over
flow.
The levees of Ascension parish, like
those of the entire sections of the
state traversed by the Mississippi,
are higher, broader, stronger and in
better condition every way than ever
before, and there is no special reason
to apprehend disaster anywhere along
the line, but trouble arises sometimes
where it is least expected, and the best
way to ward it off is TO watch and
prepare for it.
Eternal vigilance in times of high
water is the price of protection from
overflow.
W atch the levees!
