Birth Ct the Mosquito

The eaily settlers of eastern Ida
no had much trouble in fighting the
mosquitoes, says the Westerner
magazine. The insects were so
Numerous that workers in tie
fields were compelled TO wear gloves
TO protect their hands from being
bitten Icy he pests. Mormon pio-
neers wore veils over their faces
wheh milking the cows because CT
the great swarms OF mosquitoes that
came from the meadows after sud-
set For many years after the first
homes were erected the people had
to fight for comfort everywhere
they tried TO locate they built
huge Tires and covered the burning
brush with green plants to make
a smoke that would drive the in
sects away. The houses we're
screened with wire and cloth to
keep mosquitoes from getting in
side ana disturbing the rest OF the
people. The Indians designated
the country as the land OF Wa
Wa, and related this legend:
Many years ago there lived
great god AIMED Wa-Wa. He was
larger than the ordinary man, and
had sharp beak TOUR feet long.
When any of the ueig hbors crossed
mis- path this big, lazy creature
would stick his beak into them and
emit a poison which soon caused
them to die. He lived in big
stone house and had the place fer
tiiied with Ing canyon walls. Be-
ing rich, he had numerous servants
that were kept in bondage. Every
living thing feared the god Wa-Ws,
which was the Indian word for
mosquito. Meetings were helu and
plans MADE to rid the country OF
this dangerous foe. But all e(-
forts were f no avail. He sue
ceeded in overpow ering all his en-
emies and driving them from his
chosen land.
Coyote was shrewd little fell
low who feared nothing. He lived
by his wits and gained the day
through much flattery. He had
/ two sisters who were wiser than
/ himself. When he was in need
of advice the sisters were con-
I suited. They opened communioa-
ton with the spirits and received
1 proper council. They told Coyote
to take his stone ak and go 10 the
I house of Wa-Wa. The ak was
+ concealed. Coyote carried five
little sticks. When he reached
he house of Wa-Wa he lighted the
sticks and caused a powerful smoke
to fill the place. Then Wa-Wa
dropped upon the floor. Coyote
would not kill him, but with the
ak he split open his head and
caused thousands of little Wa-Was
to come forth. The power to send
out poison was taken awsy and
Wa-Wa was ever after only a small
insect, now numbered by the mill
ions and known as the mosquito of
Snake river valley.

The southern sentinel., 1908-08-07

Board and the record shows that
the Board was not unanimous on
that assessment.
The sixth is a general charge
without specification and could
not be held against the Board.
The only remedy is to require
property assessed at its actual
cash value and if that assessment
produces more money than is
necessary for the economical ad-
ministration of the government of
the State and parish, reduce the
rate of taxation.
The reprehensible system of
assessing property for less than
the cash value is a relic of recon-
struction days when the rate Of
State taxation was twenty-one and
one-half mills and the parish taxes
were the same, making a total of
forty-three mills. 1t was then
that our citizens, to prevent con-
6scation. assessed their property
for one-third or less than that.
We will venture to say that
should the property of the State
be assessed at the actual cash
value, that the revenues at two
mills on the dollar would produce
to the State treasury more than
the FIVE mills do now.
There is no reason why one Sec
ton should pay more for the snp-
port of the government of the
State than another. That being a
fact the only way around that
proposition is to have State
Board of Equalization to adjust
the matters. and it was not expected
that the Board, at its first session,
could get every class of property
equalized. The Board is now i'm

The attention of the voters oi
Third Supreme Court District is
directed to the candidacy oil Hon
Phanor Breazeale for the position
of Associate Justice, which is
now held by Judge o. o. Proves
ty of Pointe Coupee.
Mr.. Breazeale is a young man
in the prime of life, native OF
Natchitochcs parish, a descendant
of the oldest and best families in
the State. He was educated in
the State; studied law at the old
University of Louisiana and grad
uated at that school. He prac-
ticed law in Natchitoches. Winn,
Red River. De Soto, Sabine,
Grant. Avoyelles and Rapides,
and Supreme Court of the State
and the United States courts. He
enjoyed the confdenceof his Glen
tele in those parishes, who elected
him district attorney when the
parishes OF Natchitochcs, Rapides
and Avoyelles formed one district.
He was elected a member of the
Constitutional Convention of 1898
and took a prominent part in the
deliberations of that body. He
was, on the expiration of his term
as district attorney. elected to the
House of Representatives in Con-
gress. where he displayed his
knowledge of affairs and soon
became one of the most active
and aggressive members of that
body. Since his retirement from
that position he has resumed the
practice of law in his native town
{ (Natchitoches). where he has a
large and select practice.
The tribute to Mr.. Breazeale by
the Natchitoches har in a recent
address,. which we publish in an
other column of this paper. shows
how he is held by his home peo-
,le. We are sure that the same
ceiling exists in Winn.
We note from the tone of the
press in this district that his candi.
dacy is being received with favor
throughout the district.
We have known Mr.. Breazeale
ali his life and can say that should
he be elected, his constituency
will never regret it. He is learned
in the law. a sound reasoner. and
his extensive knowledge of the
jurisprudence of the State will
make him valuable acquisition
