NEW ORLEANS, Oct. oath, 1908.
DEAR SIR:-In the national election,
which takes place on Tuesday, No
bember 3rd, it is essential that the
vote in every Democratic community
should be as large as the activity and
interest of the Democratic leaders can
possibly make it. In July last when
l conferred with Mr.. Bryan at Lin
coin and again since that time at CHI
capo. he impressed me with the inn
portance of having the South, the
backbone Of the Democracy, register
its normal vote in the November elec-
ton. Mr.. Bryan was particularly So
licitous about this, as he is anxious to
secure not only majority of the cleo
toral vote but q majority of the pop
ular vote throughout the country. 1t
il easy to understand his motive in
expressing this desire. As President
Mr.. Bryan is anxious to be thorough
" supported by public sentiment in
carrying out those governmental and
economic reforms for which he has
been heroically contending.
A majority of the electoral vote
seems now practically assured to Mr..
Bryan. It only remains to give him
. majority of the popular vote, and to
this end I trust that every Democratic
leader and newspaper in the State will
do their full duty BY the party and its
nominees by working assiduously to
bring out q full vote on November
3rd. Louisiana should give Mr.. Bryan
Q majority Of between 1000 and 100,-
600. II will undoubtedly do so If we
| all put our shoulders to the wheel and
work together to bring out full vote.
/ The fact that the Republican opposi-
ton to Mr.. Bryan in Louisiana is
more shadow than substance is calcu-
lated to make the voters Indifferent
about casting their ballots If energetic
steps are not taken to arouse their in
tereet and to impress them with the
necessity of voting for Bryan.
A copy Of this letter is being sent to
the editor Of every daily and weekly
Democratic paper in the State, every
sheriff, assessor and clerk of court
and the chairman of every parish ex-
ecutive committee, upon whom re-
] sponsibility for the vote cast on No
vember Ord very largely rests. I need
not remind you that rousing major
ity for Bryan in Louisiana will give
the Democracy of this State great
prestage and influence at Washington
in the event Of Mr.. Bryan's election,
which now seems assured. Every par
~ and political consideration demands
that Louisiana be true to its Demo
cratic ideals in this great national
campaign. Mr.. Bryan has appealed
direct to the heart Of the people and
Louisiana should be no laggard in re-
spending to the appeal.
/ write to ask your active and hear.
~ cooperation in getting out the full
vote of your section of the State on
November 3rd. Those who serve Mr..
Bryan in this matter serve the cause
of representative government and ]
feel assured that it is cause that will
command your sympathy, time and
interest.
With best wishes, I am,
Yours very truly,
ROB'T. EWING,
National Committeeman.

Christmas Levee, 200, 200 yards, Dia-
mond Island Topping, 5000 yards, in
Madison parish.
Kempe to stpckridge, 100, 900 yards,
in Tensas parish, and Rife Point in Con-
cordia, lao, 900 yards, making in all a
total yardage of 794, 400 cubic yards.
The government is doing no work in
the upper Tensas District, except the re-
pair force at Anterior, Willow Point
Loop and Morancy.
In the lower Tensas district, since the
last meeting of the Board, there has been
a contract let to finish the new loop at
Hard Times, and bids received for the
enlargement around Lake Palmyra.
These contracts, with others already
undertaken, aggregate great many
yards, and will make the general condi-
ton of the levee very much better,
though not by any means up to grade,
which expert engineers, and the Missis-
sippi River Commission recommend 1t
should be. There will be approximately
40 per cent of the levees up to recon-
mended grade, after the contracts now
under way are completed.

Board of State Engineers, when the new

tanning it to the highest condition OF
efficiency, or the great amount OF work
already done would be lost.
Chicago, on the 9TH, Sth and 9th of Oc-
tober, showed that the sentiment Of the
rivers and harbors improvement was very
kH<,h .,os into
the country, and that Congress will have
to make appropriations commensurate
with its Importance, and benefit for the
country at large.
The first work of this Deep Waterways
will be to make the banks OF the Missis'
sippi river stable, and dredge out OBJ
structions in the channel. When these
two things are done the levees can bt
made permanent, and the work which II
now done on new loops will go to en-
large the present line to the recommend
ed grade and section.
again call attention of the Police Ju'
ries, and earnestly recommend that where
practicable, the roads be removed away
from the levee, both for the protection
of the levee from degradation during the
high water flor the siepe water make:
the road impassable), and also that
better system of roads be established.
The sentiment of care for the levees Il
very much better than formerly, and ii
Improved condition and looks is gaining
more respect for it, and the freedom from
anxiety during periods of high water
keep in the mind of the public its benefit
For a detailed financial statement o
the Board, respectfully refer to the re
port of the Secretary.
Respectfully submitted,

President Board Commissioners, Fiftl

DEAR TENsAs:-I hear away off
much more of the cry of the
"boll weevil man" than the real
hurt of the weevil, and l want
to help you out Oh this ''pest"
subject.
First have q heavy tax levied
upon the men who roam the
country and towns prophesying
the evils of anything. These sour,
blue men can drive more pros.
perity from you than all of the
boil weevils in the South can.
Such men are q material hurt to
any PLACE, and lower the tenor
of all prosperity; shut them up,
do not listen to them; feel and
know that if they did not make
the worst of this boil weeyil they
would something else. Tax him,
or send him away, and bring
bright hopes and strong hearts
and hands to meet the disasters.
Praise your people, praise your
land, yes, even praise o~n boil ,cee-
vit. Any thing that can cheer
and help those with you will help
your troubles, and hold what you
mow have, aud bring strangers
into your lands where they henr
no "tales of woes" This cry of
boil weevil and hard times is
doing more serious hurt to your
parish than you think,-much
more harm than the weevii will
ever do, for when this little pass
ling evil departs you will be mi
nus the men to help build you
up again, aud the stranger now
turned your way VIII pass you
by as fearful of your country 81
of yellow fever.
Talk brightly, talk bravely
work with extra care and build
up under all circumstances, ant
kill, tax aud destroy the boil
weevil bowler who is pulling dowl
your homes, your people and
country.

The Homestake vein is some zoo

there was a blanket of exceedingly
rich ore, all free milling, from which
the DeadWood placer gold came. The
Hidden Treasure and other early
mines were located on the ground
covered by this blanket. They were
soon worked out. The Father Des-
met and Hbmestake were about the
first mines located. The outcroppings
of the Homestake were no richer
