St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1909-07-31

It IS hard to go North and get peo-
pie to come down here, If we could
bring a hundred people down here and
show them this proposition, it would
not require any talk. Anybody that
can see the pumping plant and CANA
and see the land to be irrigated will
invest money in it, but you can not
get them to come down. People are
satisfied with their investments there.
We think when a man gets 4. S and
is per cent on his money he is doing
well. You people put your money in
the bank and can get Is per cent on
it, so that is where you put your
money, but YOU want to wake up and
get busy and help this to success.
We have put money into it and are
willing to put more into it. 1t only
needs the push that will get it over
the hill and it will get it. The man
who pits his money into this canal
to-day is putting it into an absolute
certainty. We who went into it FIVE
or six years ago, did not have a dead
sure thing, but it now is a dead sure
thing. After this first installation is
completed and the prairie is watered,
which it will be, you won't have to go
out and ask for money, they will
bring it to you and ask to buy the
/ stock. but no one else viii be left into it
then, not if / can help it, because
then she original stockholders will
buy all the stock up. 1t will be as
scarce ais bank stock, because it is
too good a thing. After the first IN
stallation is through, they will ex-
tend it, of course they win have to
have more money, but the original
stockholders will give it and no out
slider will get into it then. I can not
say much more TO you people, but
want to tell you a funny story.
I had a friend with whom I went
TO school. To my surprise he studied
for the ministry. He got a charge
in the South and came down to preach

repeal Of the primary election system
for with all Of it's defects it is deeply
imbedded in the hearts and minds Of
the people. / suggest and urge upon
you. that You make demand for the
restoration Of the convention system,
not for the purpose Of nomination
candidates for office, but that you,
through your own representatives
elected to such a body, may give
authoritative expression to your
views and to your demands for legis-
lation in the interest Of the people.
The legislature, By the primary act,
has taken jurisdictionaI control over

sentative conventions to formulate

all we could borrow nobody offered
us a dollar, but as soon as we were
on our feet, everybody wanted a share
il the enterprise. This canal is the
same.
People in the North do not know
much about this canal. How | got
into this was rather strange. A
friend Of mine came to me and said,
'Joe, don't you want some irrigation
stock?' | said put me down for
$1,000 Now you may think / was
easy, but / wasn't, for / had been in
Colorado frequently and saw how irri-
cation helped there. / happened to
be travelling outside Of Denver and
was shown some land that was irri-
gated. They told us that a short
while before that land could have
been bought for Soc an acre, but
some level headed Yankee came out
there and built q reservoir and car
RED the snow water through sluice
boxes down to this land and irrigated
d few thousand acres. You can not
buy the land now for $500 an acre.
SO that is why / told my friend to
put me down for $1,000, when I did
not know anything about Louisiana
or the enterprise. That vas about
FIVE years ago. The next year they
induced me TO come down and 90
over the proposition. I came, and
never viii forget that trip. It is hot
now, but it was d lot worse then.
We drove over seventy miles over
the prairie in the dust. I saw the
prairie and the land and saw the need
Of water, but / must confess that ]
was not as enthusiastic over the
proposition as I now am, as it looked
too big to me, still the foundations
were here to work on. Two years
ago | came down again. No more
had been accomplished, still Schel
was pegging away at it, but this time
IL find the worst Of this proposition is
over. Tt is a guaranteed success to
day. There is no more question about
the canal being completed, than there
lis Of the sun not rising tomorrow.
On the last trip Rev. Howe de-
scribed the passenger engine trying
to pull the cars up hill and failed
then he told about the little dinkey
engine, which tried and succeeded

St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1909-07-31

From last Saturday Picayune (the
24th inst.) we reproduce the extract
below which may prove Of interest
to our readers.
g. /. Dupre Jr., referred to there
in, is the son of our fellow towns
man, Judge G. Il DHpre. His many
friends in st. Landry, where he was
born and reared, will doubtless be
pleased to learn Of his success. To
be employed by the United Fruit
Company, means that our young
friend is forging to the front IN his
chosen profession. This but iIlus-
trates the fact that you can't keep
an Opelousas boy down.
Among the successful men III New
Orleans, La, who were born in 0pe-
~lousas, we recall Drs. Edmond Sou-
chon, George K. Pratt, Denegre Mar
tin and A. w. Roaldes. The talented
DIR. Bloch (now deceased was also
from this city. There are others,
notably H. Garland Dupre, Speaker
of the House.
The clipping follows:

can get in a few days they obtained

of Mr.. Dupre, we're uniformly good
