Opposed To Closing Cour-
tableau.

At the Levee Board and mass
meeting here last Friday the Co.
vernon in his remarks favored the
closing of the Courtableau from
its connection with the Atchafala-
va. where it is already damned,
naturally by drifts, aud connecting
that stream with the Teche which
he claims would be of benefit to
both streams. but this does not
seem to be favorable to tho people
of st. Landry if We are to Judge
by the following special from
Opelousas
"OwinR to current press reports
to the effect that movement is on
foot to close Bayou Courtableau at
the point whore it empties into
tho Atchafalays river, a number
of business men of Opelousas and
Washington met at the Office of
Little & Lawler, in this city, this
afternoon. and resolved to call a
mass meeting of tho citizens of St.
Landry parish, to be held at the
courthouse here Saturday. Feb. S,
at IL a. M, for the purpose of ma.
king emphatic public protest
against any such action as it is re.
ported is contemplated. The Sen.
ators and Representatives from
this district in Congress will be
pstitioned to defeat any action up.
on the part of the State Board Of
Engineers or anyone else looking
toward the closing of the Courta.
blesu at the point named. Their
attention will be called to the fac
that there is now pending before
Congress a measure providing fol
the opening of Bayou CourtabIear
to navigation, which it is now pro
posed to dam.
The business mon from the pa
rishes of Acadia, Calcasieu, La
fayette and Vermillion will be ask
ed to attend the mass meeting ant
cooperate with the citizens of st
Landry in the fight to prevent tb'
damning of the Courtableau.
With the opening of Courtablear
to navigation and its restoration
to it's former Importance as a ma
vigable stream, the people of thil
aud adjoining parishes will DO af
forded means of obtaining cheal
water transportation, as 10 year,
past, which it has been deprived
of ever since the accumulation O
drift and sand-bars rendered steam
boats navigation impossible sever
al years ago."
/ We can see lots of trouble il
this direction, and if the people O
st. Landry believe the closing o
the Courtableau is going to injur,
them, it will not be closed.
| We can SEQ only one solution
out of our present trouble ant
that is the closing of Old River
aud all our efforts should be cen
tered on that particular point.
