The Leap Year Dance given by
the young ladies of the M. W. W.
complimentary to the Everglads
on Sunday night at the Arcade
was a most delightful affair.
The grand march was led by Mr..
Henry VOORHEES, and Miss Agnes
Martin and about IS couples took
part. At the close of tile march
dancing began and continued un
til a late hour. During the even
ing the Memphis Tag Dance was
danced and created a great deal
of amusement. Ice cold lemon
ade was served by a committee
of the young ladies and proved to
be delicious and refreshing.
Miss Leola Martin was floor
manager and performed the
functions of that Office in a
charming manner. The getting
up of the dance and it's success
was largely due to the efforts of
Misses Rena Broussard, Agnes
Martin and Eola Mouton. In
spring music was furnished by
Messrs. Chas. Watts and Willie
Henson. who generously made
no charge. Their kindness was
greatly appreciated by the
young ladies. Quite number

VERMIL|ON SURVEY
COMPLETED.

The survey and mapping of
Vermilion bayou by the Federal
government has been completed.
The work was in charge of En-
gineer John KlOrer assisted by
Engineers Emile Moreno and H.
Long, who secured the services
of L. Livet and his gasoline
launch in making the survey.
The purpose of the survey was to
get data with view to securing
a six foot channel at all times
from the mouth to. Lafayette.
The survey was made from the
railroad bridge to Olidon bridge
as below that point the depth
was sufficient.
The improvement in the bayou
contemplated, and which is
largely due to the efforts of Sec.
F. V. Mouton, of the Progressive
League, in having Maj. McIndOe
make personal investigation,
promises great benefit to this
town. particularly so in view of
the fact that the construction of
the inland waterway across the
lower part of the State is an as
sured fact. With the Vermilion
a navigable stream all the year
round, Lafayette will have a di-
rect waterway connection with
New Orleans, which will give
this town competitive freight
rates, and also make steam
boat line on the bayou possible
greatly to the advantage of this
city.

he is setting out a large number of
roots to produce seeds for next year.

the varieties growS this year. The
OBJECT is to ascertain whether the
sugar content can be kept I'D with
nome grown seed. There is a deeper
slsnlhcance, however, than this. At
present all our best seed is purchased
from Germany. Should any complica-
ton sarise stopping these importations
every sugar factory in the United

ing OF the seed at home would also
create large home industry that
would add to the material wealth and
