The old complaint that the prohibi
ton law could not be properly en-
forced because United States govern
ment would not give the local au-
thorities the proper assistance pro-
misses to be done away with. Upon
repeated complaints made to Presi-
dent Taft an order has issued where
by the internal revenue regulations
will be considerably revised. The
local authorities will be apprised
of the issuance of internal revenue
licenses in all dry territory. AS no
provision is made for the peddling
of liquor no stamps will issue legal
izing this practice and it is hoped
that bootleggers will be better ap-
pretended in this way. Heavy
penalties and imprisonment or both
will be inflicted on the violators and
closer watch is promised all around.
A method has been provided by
which local authorities can secure
all the information desired from the
revenue department. The intention
is to prevent the violation as much
as possible.

Easter was cele ebrated last Sun

AS stated in these columns some
weeks ago the Southern Pacific
Railroad is taking the levee in front
of town and loading it on flat cars
and carrying it away. The place
is gradually being levelled down
and the railroad has moved its
tracks further out from the side
walk and closer to the waters edge.
With this new arrangement the
street along the bayou from the
bridge to the ice factory will soon
be restored to the town and it will
again be opened to pu blic use. 1t
is to be regretted that the good
sand in the levee is being taken
out of the parish, but the damage
is repaired in a measure, since the
street will again be returned to the
town. AS was remembered this
was once the continuation of Front
street. Main and Levee streets
merging into and continuing up the
bayou to Donaldsonville. This will
give the town two streets from the
upper end to Main street and rem,
der st. Mary Street OF more use
during bad weather.

Congressman Broussard last
week introduced q bill in Con-
gress that was nefore a commit
tee of the house last week. The
committee looked favora bly, upon
the bill with the prospects of re-
commencing it to the house. He
had several experts bef0rethe com
mittee to give their views about
the climate of the southern sta
tes, as well as the other con.
ditions being adopted to the
propagation of such animals.
The idea is advanced that with
the animals proposed brought
over TO this country, the price of
meat would be reduced. 1t is
proposed to import from Africa
the hippopotamus, the giraffee
the rhinoceros, and other such
animals, the meat Of which is
considered very palatable and
good for man. These animals
it is said could flourish in the
swamps of the Gulf states, par
ticularly the low and marshy
lands of south Louisiana. The hip
popotamus can live On water
hyacinths, and neither this qua-
druped nor the other animals
proposed to be imported would
interfere with the forage and
matter upon which the wild
animals Of the south feed.
The bill is creating much in
tcrest, but whether the Secre-
tary of Agriculture will be
ordered by act of Congress ard
by appropriation to import the
animals remains to be seen.

The louisiana state farms, under
the direction of the Board of Con-
troll and worked by convicts from
the state penitentiary show impro-
vements in the last two years. The
report for the last two years shows
something like profit of one hum
dred and forty thousand dollars or
over. This profit was used in paying
notes on real estate purchasedas we'll
as in putting modern machinery in
sugar houses owned by thestate. The
last report shows receipts of$827 156
So as against $736,222 .04 for the
two years previous. These figures in
clude the total receipts from levees,
farms, for two years. The first fig--
ures for the two last years, the lat
ter for the two years previous. This
is considered a good showing, des-
pite the fact that the state had most
of the lands planted in cotton and
the crop was failure due in great
part to the boil weevil. If the notes
on the real estate had been taken up
the report states that there would
have been profit of $73, $50. sc for
the last two years. The total ex-
pense for last two years including
payment of mortage notes was 5000,
