SEINERS UP AGAINST THE

In spite of the several arrests
which were made in this parish
against the professional SeinelS
who We're operating i'll Lake Yer
ret, the President of the LouiSi-
ana Fish and Oyster Company of
Berwick, refused to give up the
fight, and his last move was an
attempt to prevent the district
attorney from awesting the
seiners. by praying for an iniunc-
tion. which writ if granted by
the District Judge would have %iy-
en- the seiners immunity from ar
rest.
The writ was taken before
Judge Leche last week. and on
Monday the judge refused to

company is making such Il hard
fight to seine in Lake Nerret is
because they have about depleted
most of the other streams and
axes of buffalo and other varie-

about the only place left where
there is any great amount Of fish

ADVERTISING PAYS.

d. M. Ferry, the seed man, is
dead, leaving an estate worth sew
eral millions. Starting in life as
aboy on a stony hill farm in New
York, he was never heralded as
a frenzed financier, and seldom
had his name in the papers save
in the advertising columns. OF
these he was a good patron. and
ever attributed his success to the
growing of good seeds well in
troduced with printers ink.
Ferry was simply a business
man Of the highest affair ments
and inspirations. Selling seeds
placed him in the position of be-
ing one of the "plain people. +"
But if he had gone into any other
business in life he would prob
ably have been just as successful
at the end of it as he has been.
For he understood the value OF adj
vertising and knew how to make

GAS FOUND AT DEPTH OF
SIXTY FEET.

White Castle, La, May 90
The gas well which was recently
discovered by Louis Hebert, of
Samstown, two miles southwest
of here. and which has been sup
plying gas to light the store OF
the Leblanc & Hebert Mercantile
Company, Limited, has shown
such promising indications that
the owner decided to sink another
well yesterday. At. depth Of
60 feet he struck gas which caused
a pressure that hindered further
progress. The well has for the
last twenty-four hours been
throwing immense quantities Of
sand and water high into the air.
Indications are the supply is al
most inexhaustible, it having been
found at the point of triangular
section of land many square rods
in area. Efforts are being made
to utilize it The community is
worked up over the situation.
These wells are near that of the
White Castle Gas and Oil Com
pany recently bored, which did
not accomplish anything, and for
lack Of funds the company recent
ly liquidated.

be cut every month in the year,

dicted. On the contrary, it has
been of immense advantage.

posed to it for fear it might III
jure their navigation. When the
government has spent more than
a million dollars (Sl 900 900, ,00O) to
give them a nearer and better
route by the Atchafalaya and the
locks at Plaquemine.
From all | can see. the oppoSi-
ton to the enforcement seems to
be founded on two Of the most
ignoble traits of man-selfiSh-
ness and fear-and on this ac-
count nothing must be done to-
wards the protection of the mil
lions of acres Of the richest lands
in the world from the floods. and
Of their reclamation or develop
ment. Everything must be sacri-
feed to help New Orleans get the
exposition and for good roads.
The bill now before The Legisla-
ture provides that if the eXposi-
ton is not held, then the 1000
900 raised to aid New Orleans is
to be spent for roads. and one
dollar is to be spent for leyees or
protection from the floods of the
Mississippi or reclamation OF
lands. 1t seems to me that this
might have been left to the peo-
pie of the parishes-it is their
money, and they should have the
right to do with it what tdey
think best for their own interests.
The people of the levee districts
who are heavily burdened with
taxes, having to pay twice and
three times the amount OF taxes
of other portions of our State, are
TO receive no relief whatever.
They should at least have half OF
the $4.000,000. In conclusion. |
will say ! do not see with what
grace the people to vote them a
tax. when they refuse to do any
thing to protect them from the
floods of the Mississippi. y

ton from the Atcahfalaya to tn
Lafourche, and from that bayou
to the Teche, south of the Miss
issippi containing about 5,OOO,0O0
acres. The Atchafalaya is a con
tinuo,ls stream from its head to
Grand River, into which it emp
ties and can be levied without
difficulty. But Grand River,
which in ancient times must have
been a mighty river. takes ITS
head from the Opelousas lake,
near the upper Teche, and dis
charges its waters through low
swamps and bayous, which l will
describe later on, to Butte a la
Rose, where the Atchafalaya en-
ters it. Going eastward it has
the following outlets: Bayou la
Rose, little Atchafalaya, La Romp
the Tensas, which. on an average.
are pot more than a mile apart,
and are large and discharge large
volumes of water. Then come
the Pigeon and Plaquemine and

charge themselves into lakes and
swamps below.
Then comes another high for

ancient river, running from above
St. Martinville in a southeastern

find lakes called Catahoula and

UNIFORM SCHOOL DRESS.

Just at TINS season. when the

NC tn entire stage, it is oppor-
tune TO discuss the advisability Of
adopting uniforms for school girls.
For he next few weeks the coun-
try VIII have the opportunity of
Witnessing displays of fnery'
that costs hundreds of dollars,
ud much of this expense viii be
forced upon parents who fan il.
afford to bear the burdens that
custom and vanity dccrrcs correct
and necessary. Young ladies and
girls, while attending school, arr
almost daily "dcckrd out" III
their best "bib and tucker" with
costly and snowy ornaments. Such
unnecessary displays make the less
fortunate enviouS, and cause many
4 parcnt to he SaddIed with debts
N order to provide extensive
dresses for their girls.
All of those who attend the pub
lc schools are not wealthy, and it
is a grievouS burden for parents
to provide costly dresses for grad
uating exercises. We know that
young ladies, especially when
they graduate, like to wear tho
very best that can be had, and
fond parents are perfectly willing
to burden themselves with debts in
order to crafty this natural de-
sire. But, in the interest,Qf those
who cannot afford it. and they are
many. we urge the Legislature to
prescribe a neat, simple and mex
pensive uniform, both for school
and graduating exercises. Poor
children are very sensitive, and
some of those more fortunate are
50 rude as to call attention to the
cut and quality of another S dress.
This rankieS in the breast of the
child and soon develops deep
resentmnt that grows and be-
comes more bitter as the days go
by. The colleges and universities
have uniforms and the faculties
are more than pleased with the
results. We see no reason why
all public schools should not adopt
this wise provision of modern
educational ideas and fall in line

Mr.. Fontcnot spoke brief Y in
support of his amendment. lie
said he was for division. because
50 per cent Of the people voted
for it. He was against the Sc

islature because 60 per cent Of the
people voted against Vile Platte
and he did not think a majority
Of the people were in favor Of
Vile Platte
Pauln FOntenot moved to lay
on the tab,e. He said after the
election Y. l.. Fontenot took his
hat off and declared that Vile
Platte had fairly won and he was
| for Vile Platte.
My people are tired of elee-

Platte won the parish seat honest

On a viva voce vote Y. l.. Font
