LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Chief is not responsible for the
views expressed by correspondents.
The BaYou Lafonrche Locks.
DonaldsnnYilla. La

Donaldsonville La, May 10, 1909.
EDITOR CHIEF:
How long will a patient and long
suffering public submit to the closing
of a fine, Imaginable stream like our
Bayou Lafourche? The extended time
granted the leVee board for removing
the dam and substituting the locks is
about to expire, and it is earnestly
hoped that there will be no further
extension and that the pledge made to
our people will be fully redeemed. The
writer does not believe that such a
condition as prevails in reference to
this m sttef would be tolerated in any
other section OF the country. This
city has Suffered immeasurably 10
numerous ways by the damming of the
bayou, and anquestionably The people
living along Its banks are detriment.
ally affected, aud the building Of
locks would be hailed with JOY by all
our people.
The rights OF the people are supreme
and the leVee board is in duty bound,
as we'll as in honor bound, to vindi,
cate itself Of the odium that has been
cast upon it by it's lethargy in full
filing its premise. II it is not feasible
10 finance the project, let the board
repair the leyees along the bayou and
throw open the dam. Such q course
would be- commercial able, and the beau
tiful Lafourche would once. more as
sumo its position as a navigable
stream and enhance the prosperity of
cur people. The time for action has
arrived. and sincerely hope that the
press, which should reflect the We've
aud sentiments Of the people at all
times, will lend its powerful support
and agibate this question until some
thing has been accomplished TOW ards
the realization Of the promise made to
The people. Respectfully yours,
MICHAEL TOBIAS.

ton Hiekey,s Twirling a Feature
of spicy Gontest-Y acherie
Tenn ORE W.

The mix up at Cleveland Park last
Sunday afternoon between the local
Blues and the ambitious Garyville
team proved ore Of the fastest and
most interesting entertainments pre-
scented on the DonaIdsonvfEe diamond
| this season. and it is to be regretted
! that the size of the gathering which
Witnessed the spicy contest was not
more commensurate with the high class
character Of the sport provided. OF
c }ucSe, the game resulted il favor of
the Blues, but, as the closeness of the
score indicates, the vietors had to
hump themselves to win and the
big end of the score was any body's
until the very last man was out in the
very last inning.
The feature OF the pretty scrap was
the classy work of Cy Hickey, who
OBLIGATED on the hurting hill for the
Blues. Only twenty seven men faced
him, and of these but two reached first
One on an error and the other on q
hit. He registered fifteen strike-outs
and allowed only one bingle.
Oglesby, the visitors slab artist,
also pitched a nice game, yielding five
hits and striking out four of the re-
doubtable Blues.
The locals ran away with the game
in The sixth inning, when, with Willie
Higgins and Harry Weber roosting
respectively on second and third, Mike
Variant. the Blues new left gardener,
poked the pill through short for two
bases, scoring the afore said Higgins
and Weber.
Here's the way the official scorer
saw the game:
