WINTONS POPULAR
There is no question but what the
Winton cars have again been taken up
by the enthusiasts or San Francisco. A
fews years ago the Winton was the
popular car in the city. There was a
relapse and when the Six-Teen-Six
came out last year it attracted atten-
ton. The substantial work these cars
did last year has again brought them
to the front H. L. Owesney, the coast
representative, said yesterday: We
are almost at standstill until the
cars arrive. We are so far sold up that
IL is now matter of getting cars in
stead or selling them. The trade so
far this season has been a surprise and
far beyond my fondest expectations"

To Prohibit Gambling.

Senator Wimberly has prepared
a bill against gambling. which
does not exempt clubs or games

bits all card games. The bill reads

hibit gambling with cards and all

in any form whatsoever for money
or any representative of money in
the State of Louisiana, aud fixing
penalties for violation of this act.
Section |. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State OF
Louisiana, that gambling with

The TeChe Locks.
BROUSSARD FOR
WARDS THE MAPS TO THE NEW
IBERIA BOARD OF TRADE.
n. |. Iberian.


The delays which attend any
great undertaking are very annoy
ing at times. The project of lock-
ing the Teche, so as to make it ma
vigable at all seasons to its source,
has been one of those schemes
that had it's origin 80 far back in
the past that it ia now difficult to
say who was it's first promoter. In
years gone by, before the civil
war, the actual work of building
locks was started at st. Martin
vile. A great hole was excavated
in the bank of the bayou, above
the city's bridge. A large guam
tity of cement for the work was
housed in a warehouse erected for
the purpose. Hundreds of bar
rels of lake shells were unlOaded
upon the banks of the bayou, just
below the lock site. The break
lug out Of the war between the
North and South stopped all pro-
ceedings; the materials were dis
posed of, and the promoters are al
rest.
About forty years later this pro-
ject of locking the Teche Was re-
vived. For the past ten years
Congressman Broussard has given
it constant aud hard work, finally
securing an appropriation for the
construction of the locks. Then
followed further delays in secur.
ing land grants and rights of way
for the locks and apperteuances
These details have finally been
concluded and all seems to be- in
readiness for the start of the work
on the building of the locks.
Recently Mr.. J. W. Eckart, Sc.
cretary of the New Iberia Board
of Trade, received copies of the
maps and protiles of the proposed
works from Congressman Brous.
sard, and these papers are exhibi.
ted at his store on Main street.
