Some Memories OF Other Days.

SOnic NlSElIOI lSS VI As
AUGUST 10, 1856. was the date Of the great
Last Island storm, which carried away the old
SIMMER hotel on Last Island and left that
sand dune 2 barren waste. THE ST. MARY
WATCuMAN, refers 10 the event and the galy
then prevailing at this great resort. where cot
tayes lined the beach and Thankfully trimmed
houses Of rich people added a charm to me
scene, while the place was alive with happy VS.
tors and residents in search Of health and recre-
alton, A storm subsequently developed similar
10 the great Galveston storm and some three
hundred lives were lost. An Old negro woman
died in Patterson in 1888 who at the time of the
Last Island storm was a nurse in charge OF a
baby and she was found six days after the
storm floating upon the limb of q tree, the "o-
man and the child being burned and bl,stered
and their clothing whipped to shrcds. Capt.
Abe Smith, the commander of the Steamer Lone
Star, which was anchored in Village Bayou. was
a gallant hero of the occasion and saved as
many of the people as possibly on his boat. The
storm blew away the upper works and those
saved were crowded into the hull. while on
shore the buildings were falling down and car
riei away by the great storm. Capt. Smith
stood at his post until the last clothing was
whipped from his body and fell upon the deck.
He became paralyzed from the effects OF the
storm and died some years ago at his home in
New Iberia.
Hundreds of our readers will recall the storm
of August ! 6and II in 1888, twenty-five years ago,
when a carefully kept rain guage on Relalr plan
tation indicated a rainfall Of over fourteen
inches of water in about eighteen hours and the
whole country was temporarily submerged. The
large rice crop then standing in the fields was
beaten down in the water and much OF 1t was
50 damaged as to be worthless before its harvest
was completed.
Daring these good old summer days. when
all the world is reveling in the l%uXuriant growth
Of the cane, corn and rice crops and when our
hot days are followed by cool nights and we are
led to sympathize with our brethren far up in
the North, who have not the cool nights to re-
ljeve the monotony Of the hot days that have
been expressing them, we learn to enjoy the
better or splendid summer seasons. At the
same time we must not forget that August
sometimes has its great storms and that 1t is
not only in Kansas where destructive nature
has its storms and autumnal floods ravaging its
great plains, but that we here in louisiana, too,
have occasional August storms that 90 much
damage and that are a warning to US to be al
ways ready for them.
The recent work on the back levee will be Of
immense value to those living within its limits
as a protection against any ordinary storm and
with the relief promised by the state and the in
creased height that is desired, it is to be hoped
that within another year or two that Ievee dis
trict will be protected from any storm of equal
force to any we have previously experienced.

the local market as we'll as for shipment. The Mogollon pla- teau, to the north, with an ele- vation of seven thousand feet, gives other conditions as differ ent from those of the lower lands as Is Maine from California. Here there is rain in plenty, and with settlement farming will be placed more nearly on the basis that it occupies in the east. The idea of dry land farming that is making such progress in the Great Plains region will find much chance of application here. Incidentally the Mogollon pla- teau is the region which contains the greatest stretch of uncut timber that exists today in the United States.
 In the east it is no uncommon question to ask an AriZonan where his children are being ed [ucated, the east not believing that there is an adequate school system in Arizona. This ques- ton should be answered by say ing that there is no community in Arizona boasting six children of school age thlt has not an efficient public school. There is, in addition, compulsory school law well enforced. There is not a child in the state that does not, under compulsion, at tend these schools six months in the year. The children of Mex. ican parentage attend the same schools and are taught ouly En gliSh. There Is little Of the for eigner in the Mexican who grows up in Arizona. All the impor
 tant towns have high schools, and the State University, located at Tucson, has a curriculum on basis with shat of Yale or liar yard and mining school that is without d superior any where. realize that these things are con trary to the current opinion c1 Arizona, yet they are the facts.

Socialist Candidate

Fred l.. Ingraham, the social ist democratic nominee for dele gate to the constitutional con
 vention, is very pleasant and agreeable gentleman. So far as we know, his character as citi
 zen and his standing as an attor- ney are above reproach. But as a candidate for member of the del
 egate convention which is to frame a constitution for the state of Arizona, MT. Ingraham figures in d different role and must be viewed from another standpoint. He came to Arizona from Chica
 go a socialist of the most rabid Chicago type. He has not, we believe, ever changed, for Fred l.. Ingraham is sincere and con
 stant and steadfast in his pOlitl- cal convictions, even if he does occasionally seek political honors through one or the other of the old parties. He believes, and has often so expressed himself, that a constant state of war ex
 ists between capital and labor and has condoned, if not actually endorsed, both in speech and with his pen, the most violent measures on the part of labor even to dynamiting-to win the upper hand of capital. A con-
 stitutional convention composed of men of his belief and convic- tions would, if given free rein, draft constitution that would drive every dollar of capital from Arizona, and in the end result in industrial chaos little short of anarchy. MT. Ingra- hams theory, time and again expressed, is "Confscation, if necessary, to secure a more equal distribution of wealth."
 Of course 1t would be ludicrous to express any feeling of alarm as to the course of the conven
 ton in the event of Mr. Ingra- hams election; so far us that is concerned, the two other demo cratic candidates were endorsed by the socialist convention. But should this trIo be elected does anyone doubt that it would be heralded abroad and through every ''group" or ''local' in the | land that the socialists had won a great victory at Yuma, in the new state of Arizona. Are con servative, sensible democrats and republicans willing that this should be? And are they will ing to jeopardize their chances Of statehood by the election of this
