OpeIousas, La, March 2, 1911.
To the Hon. Mayor and Board of
Aldermen, Cityof 0pelousas,
Louisiana.
Gentlemen:
We, having been appointed to
go and examine the machinery
Offered you by the Gulfport and
Mississippi Coast Traction Com
pany at Biloxi, Miss, beg to sub
NIT you this our report:
On the ed of Feb. we were in
Biloxi and gave the engine, dy-
namo and boiler a careful exam
ination, and at night we had a
full load put on the engine and
wish to say that the engine and
dynamo are in perfect condition
with practically no wear. The
boiler has some appearance Of
usage about the furnace, but it
is otherwise in very good con-
dition.
This machinery is all modern
and Of the best make. The dy-
namo is made by the General
Electric Co, 5000 lights capacity
and is direct connection to the
engine; the engine is a four
valve Corliss type Tendem Com
pound, heavy duty engine; the
boiler is a Babcock and Wilcox,
Water-tube high-pressure boiler
with steel leaders.
W. highly recommend this ma
chinery to you and feel sure you
will make no mistake in pur-
chasing same. This machinery
is worth doubly what it is offered
for.
We have made an estimate of
the cost Of freight and installing
same, and believe that S1500.00
will cover the cost.
Respectfully submitted,
ARMAS DURI0,
LOUIS HEBERT,
Committee.
On motion duly seconded and
carried, the above committee re-

VETERANS OF LOST
CAUSE" PASSING AWAY

Houston, TeXas.-At the rate the
confederate veterans and pensioners
are dying throughout the state, it will
not be many years before there will
be no need for an appropriation for
confederate pensioners. According to
the manner of determining the deaths
by the department, there has been
an average of between 200 and 800
deaths among the veterans during
each three months. For the present
quarter, however, the number of
deaths has reached 700 or more.
Several weeks before the warrants
are issued the department sends out
an affidavit to be made by the pen
sioner, and there have been upward
of 10000 sent in within that period,
but there are a little over 700 affi-
ravits that have not been returned
executed as required by law. 1t Is
true there are usually a number OF
new applicants. but these appear to
be confined almost exclusively to the
widows of INDECENT veterans, who un-
der the pension law as amended, are
entitled to pensions.

peror of Germany was proven recent

The events leading to the strange
situation are as follows: There ar

Lloyd steamship Hanover, Mr.. and
Mrs. George BOIL. On the ship COM

removed to an infirmary, an insti-

The interesting event of the advent
cf the young lady made it impossible
for the immigration officials to con-

the soil of Germany.

meet with stout resistance from the
senators and representatives of the
states proposed to be reduced-and
1t is not apparent that oregon has
more congressional influence than
any other weste, state.
Talk OF adoption of the new John
Day project will not be entertained
by the government at this time. That
project has never been approved. No
work has ever been undertaken upon
1t by the reclamation service. and 1t
$40, 900 900 law Therefore. no part
of that 100000. 900 law can be applied
to the construction of the John Day
project And what Is true of the
John Day project is true of every 9TH
er proposed new project in eastern
Oregon Therefore, If the state is un-
willing that the government shall go
ahead with the West Umatilla pro-
ject. it must waive all claim to furth-
er allotments at this time and wait
until present projects in other states
are carried TO completion.
1t Is by no means certain. as yet,
that the government, at this time, can
build the West Umatilla project, for
the government Is not committed to
that work, and up to the present mo-
ment no allotment has been made.
However. Senator Chamberlain has
hopes that an allotment can be Sc
cured IL the protests now coming In
do not have a disastrous effect. If
he finds that no part of the S20,OO0,-
600 fund now on hand can be secur-
ed for the West Umatil'a project, Sem
ator Chamberlain has said he will
support the Borah bill making an ad-
ditional S15,O00,000 loan to the rec
lamation fund for If that loan is au-
thorized, sufficient money can un-
ouestionably be secured for the West
Umatila project to insure its COM
pletion
The s15.OO0.0O0 loan, If made. will
be on the same terms as the $50 900 :
600 loan, with the restriction that II
be confined to projects heretofore un-
dertaken Congress will not, at this
time, sanction any loan for the build
ing of new projects. especially as Ore
for such loan.
If the opposition of a few residents
of Stanfield and Pilot Rock and vi
cinity is to be permitted to overshad'
ow the demand of a vast majority o.
the people of oregon. because a sligh
damage may be done to few acres
in order to render fertile and produc
tive an area of 10000 to 60 600 acres
then oregon must give up all hopt
of securing an adjustment of its ac
count with the government. 1t i

Corvallis. Ore, Dec. 11.-Eastern
Oregon is to be taught the best and
cheapest road construction this
spring. Prof. f. F. Ayres, who re-
turned last night from Union where
he addressed a gathering of the road
supervisors. announces that a demon
stration road a quarter of a mile long
is to be built at the experiment sta
ton to show the farmers of the coun-
ty the best inexpensive method of
road building on that soil. The land
there is a sandy loan, which lends
itself readily to the sand-clay and
oiled earth methods of road construc-
ton, both among the cheaper kinds
of construction

Washington, Dec. 11.-If President
Taft and the interior department give
heed to the protests coming in from
Stanfield and Pilot Rock, and aban-
don all purpose of constructing the
West Umatilla irrigation project. Ore
gon can secure no adjustment of its
reclamation account with the govern
ment inside of four or five years. So
far as oregon is concerned at the
present time. it is the West Umatilla
project or nothing.
Whatever may be the motive un-
der the protests that have been filed
recently against the construction of
the West Umatilla project, those pro-
tests, IL followed, will put an end to
government irrigation work in oregon
when the klamath and old Umatilla
projects are completed, and no new
project can be undertaken before
1915. or 1916, and possibly later.
New Projects Are Barred.
The reason is plain. The president,
following the recommendation made
to him by the army engineer board,
has allotted all money that will be
regularly find its way into the fund
for the next four or five years. The
president has also allotted the S20,-
100000 lent from the treasury un-
der the terms of the Borah act. That
act expressly provided that no part
OF the s2O.000,000 should be expend
ed in the construction of any new
project, but should be applied exclu-
sively to the completion of projects
heretofore approved and in course OF
instruction.
