THE BOUNDARY LINE.

The long disputed boundar,
line between iberia and Wer
million has resulted in a bill beins
introduced by Vermil;on's Rap
resentative providing for its set
Element. The Vermilion News
has the following to say relative
to it:
Representative F. j. Samson
of this Parish has introduced a
bill in the House providing for
the settlement Of the boundary
line question between Vermilion
and Iberia Parishes. Or, rather
the contention of iberia Parish.
Some time ago Iberia Parish
suggested a survey to determine
the boundary, and each parish ap-
pointed a survey. The joint sur
very ran a line from the western
shore Of Lake Peigneur to the
mouth Of Bayou Petit Anse. By
this survey it was shown that Yer
million was entitled to about 1000
acres which was supposed to be-
long to Iberia.
The Police Jury of Vermilion
adopted report; that Of Iberia re-
fused to do so. However, Yer
miion has placed the name of the
property owners in that terri
tory on the assessment roll.
The bill introduced by Repre-
Samson adopts the line

GOOD ROADS.

less than two hundred miles t.

years. The people in that sec

over the result Of the election and
it is hoped that some Of the South
Louisiana Parishes will take les
sons from them in this laudable
work. Tt is about time that he

which would be of incalculable
benefit to our farmers in hauling
their produce to this G. ty and par

today under great difficulty and

THE COMING BATTLESHIP

The feat Of Aviator Curtiss in
flying from Albany to New York
has opened up a great field of
possibilities. Although the dis
tance was but 1877 miles, it is prob
able that there was but 1877 miles,
course that could be selected in
the eastern country more difficult
for navigation by airships. Eu-
ropean aviators have gone farther.
but their course was over open
country, while that Of Curtiss was
down a narrow river valley,
banked by high hills and noun
tains. One who has never been
up the Hudson has little concep-
ton Of it's conformation-the rock
ribbed hills coming to the waters
edge for much of the distance,
the railroads on either side run
ming along shells cut in the rock
or through tunnels in the rock
walls. 1t was one of the severest
tests to which the aeroplane could
be put, and one is not surprised
to learn that Mr.. Curtiss has said
that it established the feasibility
of the aeroplane in war.
Naval men, of course. scout the
idea of the airship ever becoming
a factor in war. So did they
scout the invention Of Ericsson,
which revolutionized battleship
construction. The aviaters, the
men who go up in the airships and
the feeling Of sailing
over cities, they are the men who
should know, and they are pretty
agreed that the next
battles will be fought in the air,
and that cities will be destroyed
and strong battleships made as
toys at the hands of the man
birds. 1t will take an exposition
Of this to convince, perhaps but
one exposition, and there will be
a general disarmament by univers-
al agreement, for the results of
war will then be too horrible to
contemplate.

Editor Enterprise:
Dear SRI understand GER
tain parties are at work drawing
up a plan Of Government by COM
mission instead Of our present
mode of gov@nment and that they
have a plan ready to be sent to
the LEGISLATURE to be adopted
subject to the re- ification Of the
voters of the City.
From what | have heard Of it
7 cannot endorse it for the rea-
son that it calls for the election
.f three commissioners without
regard TO residence or location
and the election of a Mayer My
objection to this plan is, it
creates a divided authority and
will almost certainly lead to dis
cord and difficulty Of good Gov
eminent.
My plan is to divide the Corpo-
ration into five districts, let each
district be entitled to one member
Of the five, but let all five be
elected by general ticket. Let
hem elect one of their members
Mayor and place the whole re-
sponsibility Of Government on
their shoulders. BY this means
there can be no division among
hem and the voters will know
who to hold responsible and if
they are dissatisfied they should
have the right to vote them out
of office and elect new Commits
sion on down and certain per-
centage Of the legal voters. This
will be a real Government by
commission, one in which there
can be no divided authority. one
in which each district will have
member on the Commission to
look after the interest Of the dis
trict and the joint five to look
after the welfare of good govern
ment of the whole Corporation.
We have but a short time to
apply for new charter and when
the application is made It should
meet the wishes Of a majority Of
the voters when called upon t.
ratify it.

NEEDS OF THE SOUTH.

| Discussing editorially the sub
lject, "What the South offers, y
the Picayune says:
| Some of our good people have
lamented that the countries of
southern Europe and of the Med.
iterranean ports Of Asia are not
pouring their people into the
south as they are into the north,
but this is one Of the greatest
boons that has been granted to
our favored country. Instead of
numerous lines of steamers emp
tying into New Orleans and south
ern ports vast hordes Of the off
securing of the earth, as they are
doing to New York, several trunk
line railroads operating from the
states north of us have been bring
ing in American citizens, mostly
farmers from the north. who are
buying lands and seeking homes
in our fertile region, with its de-
llghtful climate.
These are the very best people
we can get, since the vast tides
of immigration from the countries
of northern and central Europe
have stopped coming. Moreover,
these Americans from our bwn
north are not coming in the nigh
ty multitudes that are overrun-
ming the eastern states, but they
are moving southwark in groups
composed largely of neighbors
and acquaintance, who start CON-
munities in which the people know
each other, in the fear that they
may not receive as friendly a
greeting from the old inhabitants
as they could wish, but they soon
find that the southern people are
as friendly and neighborly as
could be desired and welcome such
corners with the right hand Of fell
lowship.
Under the auspices of the rail-
roads and enterprising citizens,
of farmers and land
agents are being held in the south
and in the north. at which visitors
from both sections attend, and
they are furnished with reliable
information concerning our
southern lands and climate. with
exhibitions Of products of various
sorts. In this way many wholly
Incorrect and injurious impress
'ions concerning our people and
country are dispelled and real
conditions presented. Within a
hort time since such a meeting
vas held at Alexandria in this
State and others are proposed. In
his way the south is getting a
.reat deal of most desirable pop
llation.
If the increase in population
las not been phenomenal, it has ,
cen large and our people are
americans. But southern develop
lent is actually in its infancy.
We have all the conditions here
hat any people can require, and
hey have only to make use of
he resources and opportunities
hand to make these southern
tates the richest and most blessed
sgion on the globe.

WORK ON NEW DAM WAS
BEGUN MONDAY
]. L. Parkin T. Son Begin Work on a
Two Months Job for the SkOWhe-
gan Water Go.

Fifteen men under J. II. Parkin OF
the Fairfield contracting firm of J. L.
Parkin & Son, began work Monday
morning on the construction of the
new concrete dam across that part
of the north channel of the Kennebec
river which is next to the Skowhe-
gan Pulp Co.'S mill. The first task is
the building of storage bin for the
concrete materials just west Of the
Somerset hospital, and the foundation
for that was put in the first day.
Then a temporary bridge will be
built across the canal, a mixer erect
ed on the bulkhead, and a Golfer dam
built to cut off the water which is
now leaking through. Flash boards
will be put across part OF the present
dam, and the water level will be
drawn down through the logway.
Considerable blasting will also be
necessary to get the foundation ready
for the forms, so that about ten days
will be required before the actual
mixing begins. Wooden forms will be
used to hold the concrete while soft,
and at least thirty-fiye men will be
employed when the job Is under way.
The upstream face of the new dam
will be vertical, while the down
stream face will have a batter of one
inch per foot 1t will be twenty-five
feet high in the middle, with a base
twenty-seven feet broad. About two
months will be required to complete
the work, and 1t is expected that it
will be necessary to heat all the ma
terials towards the last to protect
the concrete from freezing.
