70 promote the good of the entire parish and
sIso Of the parish seat, Pointe-a-l la Iache. The
promoters of this journal have had under dis
cussion for some time the digging OF a canal
from the River aux Chenes into the line OF the
railway with a view Of making Ponte-a-Ia-
Hache a great fishing entrepot. Apart from
the local advantages to be had from such q
canal. it's industrial possibilities are very great
The fishing grounds, over a million acres OF iced
ING bottoms are right at our doors and can thus
be readily availed of and car loads OF 1resh fSh
and fresh oysters can be sent to the city daily II
we in our own locality will push this enterprise
into actual accomplishment as soon as possible
We believe that the proper franchise can be Sc
cured from the parish and with a good corpora
ton. capitalized at from $4,000 to Sl0o,Wo a
canal could be put into actual operation and
hiring right into PCinte-a-la-Hache a volume OF
trade beyond anything hitherto thought OF.
Apart from this, Pointe-a-ia-Ha che would be-
come 2 great fishing center for those who are
fond of the piscatorial art. The great sea
marshes over on the northern boundaries or
Lake Borgne are frequented by thousands OF
sportsn,an fond Of fishing and that trade could
be diverted to Pointe-a-la-Hache owing to the
greater resources Of our fishing grounds and
their easy accessibility from New Orleans.
While we have had this scheme in hand for
some months, we believe that the time has now
come to press it into conspicuous notice, as the
results would be of such enormous advantage to
our local community. THE LOWER COAST GA

We believe that we have the
finest parish in the state. A very
limited amount of protective
measures would preserve US from
the occasional invasions OF back
water that now come upon us
and our present magnificent river
levee system and the promise OF
its still further Improvement,
practically guarantees US from
danger from overflow from the
river. With this done our parish
will soon be advancing in culture
