HEAD LEVEE OF THE
CANAL IS CON-
PLETED
Work on the Opelousas Lateral
Begun---Will Be Completed
for Next Season
Says the Washington Progress:

Says the Washington Progress:
The head leYee of the Schell Canal
was completed on Saturday last, and
Mr.. F. Constant the contractor has
moved his entire camp to the Plais-
ance road section and will Immediate
" begin work on the 0pelousas later
al. He has a large force of men
working on the Hinkley GulIey section
and work along the entire section of
the canal will be hurriedly pushed to
completion.
The farmers along the route Of the
canal are getting their lands into
shape and are doing quite a bit Of
building on their own account.
The consensus of opinion among the
many farmers, that there will be fully
twenty or twenty-five thousand acres
Of land under cultivation By the first
of next April. There is now several
thousand acres of land being made
ready. The boilers and the lower
section Of the pumping machinery
are on the grounds. and it is expected
that the engineers who are to install
this machinery will be here within
the next few days. Mr.. Sehell is ex-
next week some time. All the
machinery is contracted to be here
by the fifteenth of the present month
Mr.. B. A. Condor, of Chicago was
an interesting visitor to the Canal
last week, and said, Il am here looking
the situation. This canal is a
colossal undertaking and | had no idea
the work was SO near completion.
Had | known the rapidity with which
this canal was being built, I would
have been here long ago. Mr.. Condor
also stated that they would have
several thousand acres of land under
cultivation by the first Of next April

Washington, Jan. 10.-It is the
duty Of every law abiding citizen te
uphold the law. observer admits
that Che or she as the case may be-
was a little bold in trying to uphold
the law, but no holder than the other
fellow" who was violating the law.
and If the law doesn't reach the VIC
lator of the law, it certainly does moi
reach one who is in every way a law
abiding citizen. tt may have been
through ignorance that observer
tackled the officers of the law" under
a nom de plume" It was not fol
the purpose Of advising, but to lei
them see how delinquent they r in
the discharge of their duty.
With reference to the suggestion
in regard to repeating the "Prohibi-
ton, law, that has already been tried
BY those who favor the sale of "liq-
nor" by a petition to the Police Jury
to order an election for that purpose,
which petition, observer" is happy
to say was turned down, showing that
the sentiment Of the people Of st.
Landry as represented by the Police
Jury is against the sale Of liquors
and as good Democrats" we ought
to be willing to abide BY the vote Of
the people and obey the law, which is
for the betterment Of mankind and
the rising generation. Can the same
be said Of the 'tsaloons?' Even the
saloon man doesn't profit by it. His
span Of life being cut off by riotons
living. And what sort Of Q monument
does he leave behind? Broken
hearts" and broken up homes" galore.
Think Of the homes that were sad
dened during the past holidays by
this liquor traffic. Many sent to
their graves by the liquor route.
Think Of a mother, sister and wife
waiting in dread for their loved ones
10 come reeling in, or perhaps being
brought home in an intoxicated con-
dition beyond all physical resistance,
and possibly not coming at all. O!
the anxiety Of that mother, sister and
wife. Think Of the wife scantily clad
ana Iii, children crying for the neces-
sites o5 life, all brought about BY
the .liq.ar trafic.'
..Olsspry+rs thinks the language Of
! gentleman IS always due bis read
re fram al editor, whether he IS nd.

.elsel i proud to note that drastic
measures are being taken to uphold
III law and suppress the liquor traf-

his on the law will be enforced.

he believed that the commissioners

wherein they had followed the bill
enacted by the legislature, He also
