Rampant
 District ersssss- NJ

A letter from Judge Reid was received in Rampant last week saying in substance that he had decided to appoint commis- sioner at Rampant, and request ing the citizens to recommend a miner for the position, and also asking them to send him an out line on a good map of the boun- daries that were thought should belong to the district.
 This letter was acted upon at a general meeting of the citizens and Dr. J. H. Hudgin was recon mended for the position of com missioner, and a map was pre- pared showing the boundaries to which the citizens of Rampant thing they are entitled. These boundaries are along the top of the main divide between the Yu- kon and Tanana rivers, and all the old boundaries of the Ram part district, viz: to the boun- dary line of the Fort Gibbon pre- cinct, to the boundary of the Cir cle precinct, to the boundary line of the Kantishna precinct to the boundary line of the Koyukuk precinct.
 In marking the boundaries along the top of the divide be- tween Hot Springs and Rampant the top of the divide was fol lowed and only those streams flowing into the Yukon river are claimed, except the right fork of the Tolovana river was taken in. including all the tributaries of the same. The reason for this deviation is that it is much closer to Rampant, being only twenty one mile, than it is to Hot Springs, and there is a. fairly good sheltered trail from Ram part, while the trail from Hot Springs is along the top of the ridge for several miles and is not pIuecvted from the wlnd Tn any way. By way of Rampant the trail is over fairly good ground, while via the Springs tits through a niggerhead fiat for some six teen miles. The total distance via Rampant is forty-two miles while via the Springs it is pro- bably sixty four miles.
 Judge Reid states in his letter that he will consider the boundas ries prepared by the citizens, and if satisfactory he will make the appointment at once. If not satisfactory, he will defer the appointment until he arrives at Fairbanks, where he has access to a suitable map, and there he will arrange the boundaries and make the appointment.

RAMPART ENTERPRISES

The population of Rampant is composed of people who be made of the right kind of material build big city if given half chance.
 Rampant is an old town is popularly supposed to be what is termed dead one, yet when purse of $500 for the purpose of building road creek be raised among the business in half hour shows that the city far from being ready to take back seat
 It is refreshing to hear of communities where the peo- pie actuaed by motive for the general good and ready to meet the expense of making improvements for the good of the people at large In places this spirit nearly always largely in evidence but in town the age of Rampant is usually tradition of the past
 The people of that city to be commended their prompt and effective action and will doubt reap many benefits from the road which is to be built. a.s

EPOCH IN HISTORY or ST. LANDRY
Most Pleasant Day Was Spent i'm
Washington BY Many of Our
CitizenS-Breaking of Ground
By Miss Emma Schell an I'm
pOrtant Event of the Day.

Another chapter has been added
to the great volume of history Of
St. Landry parish. Thursdays
meeting is an epoch that marks a
brilliant future for the citizens of
our parish. 1t was the first break
ing of earth at Washington for the
irrigation canal which will facili-
tate our farmers greatly in rice
culture.
It is estimated that fully fifteen
hundred people assembled on
Bayou Courtableau at Washing
ton to participate in the festivities
occasioned by the inaugural work
on the canal. The assemblage was
called to order by Hon. Thos. Il.
Lewis, who, in very select words,
welcomed the visitors, and told
them of what vital benefit the
canal would be to them. Other
addresses followed, and the utmost
attention was given each speaker.
But the breaking of ground by
Miss Emma Schell was the most
interesting feature Of the day.
Charming, both in person and
manner, Miss Schell presented a
picture that will long be remem-
bered.
It is an evident fact that the
Union Irrigation Canal is the
largest project of the kind in the
South. When completed, it will
water over a million acres of land.
All the dirt is being moved from
the canal construction by the Rus
sell Elevating Graders and Dump
Wagons, which were manufactur-
ed at Minneapolis, MINI. Mr.. NJ. T.
Nagle, the genial and hustling
traveller for the Russell Grader
Manufacturing Co., who sold the
| six carloads Of machinery to the
Union Irrigation Company, was
on the ground and superir1tended
the starting and operating of ma
tchinery.
The Southern Pacific ran excur-
sion trains from Lafayette, Caren-
Gro, Sunset and Opelousas to
Washington, taking a goodly num-
Der from each place, not. half the
number that would have gone on
more certain weather conditions.
All in all, the day was fraught
with everything that could be de-
sired, and will dwell in life's fond
memory as fingers the strain on
the string of a Tyre.

SUNDAY NIGHTS MEETING
Large Crowd Hears the Hon.
Robert Brussard Orate on the
Public Issues of the Day.

Congressman Robert Broussard
spoke at the Courthouse Sunday
night to a large and thoroughly
attentive audience. II is esti-
mated that fully 800 were present,
many of whom were ladies. About
one hour and a half was consumed
by Mr.. Broussard in delivering his
speech and was followed through
out with utmost interest. His
talk was impressive, and excellent
points were brought to view. The
gentleman was frequently ap-
plauded during his speech, and his
utterances were received with the
utmost rapture by an appreciative
auditory.
Mr.. Broussard spoke in Wash
Saturday and was accorded
a most hearty welcome by an ap-
preciative people.

! OF the primary eIecClOn law, winch
was framed with the view Of pre-
venting just what the Governor
has done the exercise of his Off
cial power in the effort to control
the nomination Of candidates for
public Office.
The New Orleans World, which
is pursuing an independent course
comments as follows:
The struggle for the registration
Office would make a man from
Mars believe that that Office can
be used, and that it is the inten-
ton to use it, to carry the coming
primary election.
It is a striking commentary on
the low and tawdry plane on
which our political battles have
been fought.
In this squabble each side has
its argument.
Blanchard has the plea that he
removed Gleason for causes, can
vassed and certainly, if true, am
ply sufficient. But Blanchard is a
Wilkinson sympathizer.
Registrar Gleason has the plea
that the charges are untrue and
holds on to the Office by injunc-
ton because they are untrue.
But Gleason is a Sanders man.
| Sanders ean claim that If is p case
Of the Governor meddling in an
election as well as Wilkinson can
claim it is a case of the Governor
seeking fair play.
Any way you look at it, the Incl
dents carry boldly the nasty, plain
inference that Louisiana white
men can still descend to sWindling
each other out of honest victory;
that the appeal to the people IS a
fraud and a sham; that, If it be
possible. the effective trickery of
the registration office will be re-
sorted to by white nen-white
Democrats striving for our fore
most honor in a public contro-
versy.
The only impregnable point in
the controversy, as it pertains to
one side, is the character OF Mortl-
mer A. Wisdom, the enjoined ap-
pointee.
All citizens, of either faction,
seeking selely fair play, trust him.
Those who do not, do not really
mistrust him they fear that his
activity, courage, cleanliness and
inpartiality could not possibly IA
vor the cause of manipulation or
triekery of any sort; that he has
the sense and the experience to see
it and the rugged manliness to stop
! it.
He could not be manipulated by
neither side.
That's all a fair man could want
that and efficiency.
/ And heiis that, -notoriously
efficient.
! The day is rapidly ripening
when fair play will beso necessary
that all a candidate and his friend
Twill have : to concern themselves
Iabout will be to persuade the ma
jority of the votes.
/ That must and will beand
soon.
