The new subm arine cable of the
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Company, connecting tie east bank of
the Mississippi river with the west

was loaded on a barge at the head of
Chetim aches street, and the barge was
then towed across the river by the
steamer yirgie, of this city, the cable
being paid out as the vessel pro
ceeded. Telephone service with points
across the river from Donaldsonville

week, after having been discontinued
for several months on account Of the
breaking of the old cable which for
merly spanned the river. The resump-
tion of this service will be hailed with
satisfaction by the patrons OF the To-
cal exchange, as during the time of
discontipuance persons on this side Of
the stream wishing to speak to those
on the other side, or vice versa, wei

O'Clock a. N. Thursday, aged sixty

Weather and crop Notes.

The severest cold spell of the season
vas experienced during the present
week, the mercury having descended
to below the freezing point on Satur
day, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
nights. AS unseasonably warm weather
had prevailed for the preceding fort
night, fruit trees, truck crops and
other subjects of the vegetable
kingdom had been deluded into the
belief that spring was abroad in the
land and we're putting out right mer-
rily after their winters Information,
with the result that they were severely
nipped by the unex pected freeze. No
material damage was done, however,
and even the pessimists joined in the
opinion that the cool snap was a vel
come change from the untimely warm
spell which preceded it.
According to statistics furnished by
Local Observer w. D. Park, the max
imum temperature during the month
Of auuary was 81 degrees on the 10Th
and 9th, and the minimum 26 degrees
on the 31st. The total rainfall agere-
gated A IL inches, of which amount
2.26 inches were precipitated on the
18th and the remainder on five other
days. There were 10 clear days, s
cloudy and partly cloudy. Thin ice
was observed on the Both and heavy.
ice on the 3lst. Heavy frosts were
noted on the Fad and 20sh.
The mammoth Lakeside refinery at
Eagle Lake, Texas, finished grinding
on Jan. %, after getting away with
approximately 81, 900 tons of cane,
from which something like 5000, 900
pounds of high grade sugar were
produced. w alter Burke, of Donald
sonville, who filled the important pc
sition of sugar boiler at this big plant,
returned home on Wednesday of last
week and reports that the campaign
was one of the smoothest and most
satisfactory in the history of the mill.

An Excellent appointment.

The Chief takes pleasure in adding
share to the generous modicum OF
approving comment elected by Gov.
Sanders appointment of Achille I.
Picard as the Ascension member OF
the board of levee commissioners for
the Pontch artrain district. The parish
has been very ably and efficiently rep
resented in this body for number OF
years by DR.. W. p. Miles of Burnside,
and there is every reason to believe
that the character of the representation
will not deterforate under the new adj
mfnistr alton.
Mr.. Picard is q young gentlemanso of
exceptional native ability and educa
tional requirement, whose deep inter-
est IN public aft airs and the welfare Of
the community has been demonstrated
Ia many practical ways. He resides in
a section of the parish that is perhaps
more vitality Interested than any other
in the maintenance of safe and sound
levee system, because it has suffered
more heavily than any other part of
the parish by reason of crevasses and
overfows; hence the presumption is
natural that he will be untiring and
vigilant in the performance of his new
duties because Of the instinct of self
preservation if from no higher motive.
He will, however, possess the higher
motive OF doing his duty for its own
sake, and We can confidently assure
President Leake and his fellow mem
bers of the Pontch artrain levee board
that, in their task of protecting the
property of their constituents from de-
vastation By food, they will have no
more capable, Jealous and faithful Co
worker than, Commissioner A. I. Pi
card of Ascension.

TOWN LOTS AucTloNEH

suburb Lemann Real Estate Meets with
Ready Sale at Good Prices.
The auction sale of lots ia the
Lemann addition to the town of Don
aldsonyille, which took place on Tues
day, the End inst. !. proved an unqual-
| fled success in every particular and
was one of the most important and
far-reaching real estate transactions
| in the history of the community. A
j large crowd was in attendance and the
/ prices obtained were entirely in keep
ing with the value and desirability of
the property. F. G. Rivoire, a we'll
known jeweler of Napoleonville,
bought the first lot offered, at the cor
ner of Church and IberVille streets,
for s205, and subsequently, acquired
thirteen more sites in other portions
| of the suburb. K. A. Aucoin, manager
OF Mrs. E. FL. Bartonss S.. Emma
plantation, was one Of the largest
buyers, having purchased a total Of
thirty lots in various sections of the
addition. Postmaster J.. j. Lafargue
bought seven sites, all located in Iber-
vile street. The lot given away in
connection with the sale was won by
| Miss Althea Fortter, daughter of c..
Edgar Fortier of Donaldsonyille.
Auctioneer A. Harris of New York
City, who conducted the sale, was ION
the job at all times and kept the
crowd in a good humor by his witty
sallies and clever comments. He dis.
posed of 101 lots in about five hours
of actual selling time, obtaining an
average price per lot of from $115 to
S120.
The new addition tdathe city is loca-
ted on that portion of the Lemann Com
pany's Peytayin plantation lying just
beyond and contiguous to the prop
perby of the Catholic church, at the
eastern boundary Of the corporate
limits, and covers an area of about
twenty square acres. Each lot faces a
wide street and has a frontage of SO
feet by adepth of 40 feet. The va
rious streets are named after famous
characters in American history,
among them being Y ashington, Lee,
Madison, j Jackson and Monroe.
AS advertised, a delicious barbecue
dinner was served TO all who attended
the sale, and free hacks were provided
to convey the public TO and from the
grounds.
It is said that number Of the buy
ers will erect handsome homes on
their respective holdings, and the in
dications are that the new suburb will
shortly develop into one of the pref
test and most desirable residential
portions Of the city.

New Orleans to welcome Nv. Taft.

Hon. Vim. Howard Taft, president
elect of the United States, is to visit
he city of Nea Orleans next week, on
bis way back home from his inspection
trip to the Panama Canal Zone, and
preparations are being made or aiarge
scale to give the distinguished guest a
rousing reception in the southern me-
tropolis.
It is expected that Mr.. Taft and his
party, which includes Mrs. Taft, will
reach the city on Wednesday or
Thursday, in the afternoon, and that
the main features of the program to
be carried out the following day will
be big parade headed by the entire
state militia, public reception at the
City Hall, and perhaps brief ad-
dresses by MIR. Taft at Tulane Univer-
sity and to the colored people at the
Straight or New Orleans University.
A banquet is to be given at the
Grunewald Hotel next Friday evening,
the 18th instant, which promises to be
one of the most notable and brilliant
functions of that kind ever conducted
In New Orleans. The cost of partici-
patton has been fixed at S25 a cover,
and it is thought the attend ance may
reach thousand. OF course the con-
tributions will not be entirely expended
on the banquet, but the fund thus
raised will be applied to the payment
of the general expenses of the recep-
tion and entertainment of the visitors.
The only speakers at the banquet will
be Gov. Sanders, Mayor Behrman
and Mr.. Taft.
A special committee has been in
trusted with arrangements for taking
care of Mrs. Taft, and all the promi-
.nent ladies of the city can be depended
on to cooperate with this committee
and to do everything needful to assure
the comfort and pleasure of their
charming guest-the "frst lady of the
land'' soon to be.
Buildings throughout Inc City ana
particularly along the line of the pro-
posed parade are to be profusely dec
GRATED and it may be taken for granted
shat the entire population will turn out
to greet and welcome the president
elect. The direction and management
of the reception is in the hands of
general committee Of twenty five lead
ing citizens Of New Orleans, with
Philip Werlein, president Of the Pro-
gressive Union, as chairman. The
railways have granted low rates for
excursion tickets and it is expected
that large numbers of country people
will visit the city to see and hear Mr..
Taft.

day and Monday under the auspices
and for the benefit of Mohawk Tribe
No. 50, I. O. r. NJ. resulted in q
gratifying artistic and financial sue
cess, the results achieved having ex-
ceeded even the most sanguine ex.
pectations of the promoters and their
host of friends. The entertainment
was inaugurated at 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon with a parade by the Hay.
makers, which in point OF originality
and cleverness surpassed anything oil
the kind ever seen here before. Prae.
tically the entire membership OF Mo-
hawk Tribe and the local Hay Loft
participated in the procession, all OF
the marchers being clad in appropriate
and fun rovoking costumes. A corps
of mounted marshals led the parade,
which was witnessed by large crowds
all along the line of march. Music
was furnished by the Darrow brass
band and the celebrated Haymakers
orchestra.
At 8 O'Clock Sunday night and $3.50
O'Clock Monday night clever minstrel
performances, or sbamboulas, were
given at Phoenix opera house in the
presence of large and appreciative
audiences. The receipts from this
source aggregated s118.
The trip around the warld, which
was conducted on Saturday evening in
connection with the festival. netted the
handsome sum of 1925. Of this amount
s65 was realized from the sale OF
tickets, while the rem ainder was taken
in at the various countries included in
the tour, where beverages and refresh
ments typical to each country were
dispensed by charming ladies attired
in the garb worn by the native women
Of the various lands. Japan was 10
Gated at the residence of Mrs. E. B.
Lemann; Italy at the Donaldsonyille
Social Club; Mexico at the Office of
Sims & Whiteman: Germany at the
Nichols Hotel sample room, and
America at the knights of Columbus
hall.
The gross receipts of the festival
amounted to S1485 Is and the expenses
will total approximately $500, hence
the net sum realized will be in the
neighborhood OF 1920. The committee
in charge of the entertainment and the
ladies who so generously assisted them
in perfecting the details and conduct
ing the various booths labored strenu
ously and with untiring zeal to make
the affair q success, and the highly
satisfactory outcome is due in large
measure to their gallant efforts.
The proceeds of the festival will be
devoted to the entertainment of the
great council of the Louisiana reser-
walton, which is to hold it's annual
convention in the hunting grounds OF
Donaldsonyille this spring.

and Haymakers upon the success of
The enjoyable entertainments, and com

The New Orleans Steamboat Landing.

There seems to be some threat, init.
mated in the New Orleans papers,
that the Steamboat landing in thai
city is to be removed from the head OF
Canal street to some more eccentric To-
cation. Its not to be believed that this
can be seriously contemplated. The
situation at the head of Canal street
is already congested.
A movement is on foot, with appar-
emily good prospects of.success, to lei
the Texas and Pacific passenger trains
into the Louisville and Nashville pas
senger station over the Public Belt
Railway. This IS a very questionable
proceeding and will aggravate the con-
gestion. New Orleans ought TO build
up her steamboat service rather than
destroy it.
Steamboat freight must all be put
out on the landing at once, and must
all be hauled by teams This requires
more room than the handling OF freight
from ship to car and car to ship, and
there is no other place on the city
front which has as much room between
the railroad tracks and the river as
the present landing.
New Orleans complains much now
Of her railway service, and often
justly, no doubt. There is an awaken
ing towards the use OF steamboats, as
Of yore. To shove the landing place
of to some sequestered nook, cramped
by railroad tracks and served By IN
paved, or, even worse, ill-paved and
uncared for streets, will destroy the
possibility of inaugnrating new en-
terprises and threaten the life Of those
already in existence. It cannot be
conceived that those in authority will
be so shortsighted.

Admiral RniasransI.Y.

The death Of Admiral Rojesvensky
on January Il, the Russian New
Years day, is announced by the cable
He died of some affection OF the heart
and his taking of was wholly unex
pected. Whether the vicissitudes O
his later years had anything to dc
with his death is not disclosed and
may never be known. He was put II
personal command OF the Russian
Baltic Sea fleet and carried it to ia.
pan, where il was annihilated by the
Japanese. To have carried his Feel
safely as he did under all the circum-
stances was in and of itself no mean
feat.
Having spent his life In an atmos,
phere OF official corruption no faint
ever touched his personality.
In the battle of the Sea of Japan
his flagship was sunk and he himself
desperately wounded He was trans
ferred to another ship, which, largely
on account of his condition, was sur
rendered by her commanding officer.
After the war the admiral. as being
technically in command, though un-
conscious from his injuries or anes.
thetics, was put on trial for his life
for the crime OF surrendering to an
enemy Notwithstanding the facts,
Roiesvensky pleaded guilty that he
might protect the other officers.
The court OF trial was obliged TO en-
ter judgment of death. This, how.
ever. as set aside in view of the cir
cumstanees and the sentence OF all the
officers commuted to Imprisonment. Il
was confidently expected that the ad.
miral would soon te fully pardoned,
but be was yet under this sentence at
the time Of his death. We are told
nov that he was buried with full
naval honors.
His misfortunes were the natural
aud logical fruit of the rottenness of
the administration OF the Russian
povernmt ut. He was tho victim of
conditions Sc had spent his life in
combating.

A Pretty Tribute.

The Lafayette Gazette, in its issue OF
Jan. Is, pays the following tribute TO
Felix L. Voorhies, a former resident
of that city, who arrived here re.
Gently to take charge Of the plant OF
the Ascension Ice Co., Ltd:
The Gazette always takes great
pride in chronieling the rise of La
fayette citizen, and it could not take
more such than in noting that its good
friend Felix VOORHEES,, of this city, has
obtained the management of the As
cension Ice Company's plant at Dom
aldsonyiIle. He has already gone
over and taken charge, directing q
number of Improvements to the me-
chanicaI aud business departments
that are calculated to act most favor
ably for this years run and growth
of it's business. Mr.. VOORHEES, will at
tend to the management of the Ice plant
in the summer and then return to
Broussard and superintend the Brous.
sard Oil Company's large plant in the
fall and winter.
1.-THE Gazette knows that the people
of Don aldsonville will be more than
pleased with him at the head of their
ice factory. He is the right man in
the right place, having had extended
experience both in the construction
and management Of ice plants. He
directed the erection of the People
Cotton Oil Co. g plant in this city and
afterwards operated it most success
fully for number OF years.
''As cotton oil man, Mr.. VOORHEES,
has no superior and few equals in the
country. For many years he has
planned, selected the machinery,
erected and superintended number OF
the finest plants in the state. He holds
now the distinction OF being at the
head of the largest and finest cotton
oil mill in the state, barring none.
HE has contributed several articles
pertaining to the industry, one OF
which, The History OF the Cotton Oil
Industry has been running serially
in the Oil Mill Gazetteer. He was re-
Gently complimented by the editor Of
this publication on the excellence of
his articles, which are replete with ex-
pert knowledge. He is vice president
of the Oil Mill superintendent AS
sociation. He is widely known
throughout the cotton belt and has re
ceived several fattering offers from
some of the best plants in the country.
besides being an expert mechanic
and engineer, Mr.. VOORHEES, is an ef-
6cient business manager. His strict
rectitude, combined with his genial
temperament and courteous manners,
makes him desirable man to be at
the head OF an establishment whose
success depends on the public pa
tronage.
Here are the Gazette s congratula-
tons to the people of Donaldsonyille
on their acquisition Of such a good
man. And while we regret exceed
ingly to lose him in our. business and
social circles, We wish for him I'm
bounded, deserved success in his new
nlace 81
