WHY THE BRIDGE WILL PAY.
Covington, La, Aug. 80, 1911.

Covington, La, Aug. 80, 1911.
To the People of st Tammany Parish:
For the benefit of the people of
St. Tammany parish, especially those
that have a doubt that the bridge
will be built, will write a few of
the reasons why l do not only think
that the bridge will be built, but that
1t must be built.
For the city of New Orleans to
prosper, she must break up the
monopoly that about three of the
railroads now have, all other roads
running over their tracks and en-
tering their stations must pay enor-
nous percentage of their earnings
and therefore they must charge high
rates to exist, or whatever they are
commanded to pay, and therefore,
New Orleans is losing trade every
Gay and the population decreased
eleven thousand between 1908 and
1910.
The people of New Orleans do not
want any one or two railroads to
build the bridge that would remedy
the evil. They want a bridge where
on every road wishing to enter New
Orleans can cross at as cheap rate
as possible, so that they can give
cheaper passenger and freight traffic,
anG then New Orleans will prosper
and grow, and will not have to be
afraid of us taking $4,000 or $4,000
people away from her, and if we did,
she will gain 100000 in place of
losing every year. The business
people and progressive people of New
Orleans are now united and will do
all they can towards remedying all
that stands in the way of their pros
perity, and now when all the bust
ness people and progressive people
of St. Tammany get united and work
together, with the people of New Or
leans, then we can all prosper, with
the help of God.
So now, let our greeting be: "The
bridge will and must be built" and
woe to all doubling Thomasas.

THE CHICAGO LAND SHOW.

New Orleans, Aug. 30.-The ini-
tial efforts of the Louisiana Develop
ment League to interest the parishes
in the plan to exhibit Louisiana
lands, soil, products, climate and OPP
portunities at the Chicago Land Show
in November next, have met with
even more fattering success and
prompt response than expected.
To-day Secretary Graves said:
"The State of Louisiana, through its
agricultural department, and the ex--
perience of some of the most enter
prising men in Louisiana, are be-
hind this movement, and the material
affairs of the State are sure to be-
greatly benefited by it. Co-opera-
ton by the parishes means far more
than mere cash donations. Of course.
we must have cash, because the ex-
pense of the undertaking will mount
UP into the thousands, but the con-
certed effort of the people of all sec
tions will certainly prove cumulative
in it's effect, ana hereafter | expect
to see the people of the entire State.

desirable homeseekers, to exploit thez
wonderful productiveness of Louisi-
ana, and to interest investors whose
capital we need to push development.
work as rapidly as possible.
Thus far the subscriptions made
and promises range in amounts fro m
500 to $500 and have come fro I'M
the city council of New Orleans, from
the police juries of Assumption, AS
cension, St. Mary, Acadia, East Ba ton
Rouge, Jefferson, St. Bernard, St.
Charles, Plaquemines, Lafour che,
Terrebonne, Vermillion, Lafay cite,
ST. Tammany, $50 from the pari; ;h Of
East Feliciana; also from the banks
of Lafourche, Thibodeaux, etc. ssome
five thousand dollars have been sub
scribed by individuals in New Or
leans Many land companies have
signifed intention to subscribe, and
many parish juries and financial in
situations are yet to be heard from.
Letters from Emile v. StieF, man
ager of the Louisiana Development
League, and Justin F. Denechaud,
secretary of the Louisiana State I'M
migration Bureau, who have been
visiting the several parishes in behalf
of this movement, report great in
terest and a general desire through
cut the state to cooperate to the
fullest possible extent.

DUDELY WEAVER A LIFE SAVER
Presented by Admitting Friends With
A Gold-Lined Silver Cigarette
Case in Appreciation of His
Deeds of HerOism.

Heroic deeds always win the ad-
miration of the people. To endanger
ones life to save a fellow human be-
ing, especially where there are no
blood ties to urge the risk and blind
the mind to the danger, brings to
view those manly qualities that win
the approval and cheers of the pub
lie. 1t frequently happens, however,
that deeds of heroism pass unnoticed
because the modesty of the hero
keeps him from the limelight, and it
is thus that it is not generally known
that we have in our midst a young
man who on four different occasions
has saved human life at the risk of
his own. This young man is Dudley
Weaver, son of Capt. H. T. G..
Weaver, owner of the steamer
Josie. Dudley inherits his brav-
cry, for Captain Weaver is known as
one of the most fearless of the lake
captains.
In appreciation of his saving the
life Of Frank Crane, IS years of age,
from watery grave in Lake Pont-
chartrain, at Vaudeville, on August
6, Mr.. John Diendorf, as spokesman
for the admirers of the brave deed
OF Mr.. Dudley Weaver, came before
the curtain during the performance
OF the Twentieth Century Minstrels
and presented him with a gold-lined
silver cigarette case, inscribed with a
few lines commemorative of the
deed. At the time Mr. Weaver made
the rescue the water was very rough,
MI. Crane was taken with cramps
and could not keep his head above
TIE water. Mr.. Weaver plunged in
land brought him safely to the boat.
Attention is called to the adver-
tisement of Ostendorf & Patecek on
the second page. They have some
excellent bargains to offer in boys
clothing, and you may be sure that
inc goods are just as represented.

Its hard to stop them, as evidenced
by several runaway matches in St

Miss Clara Pagent was an artist.
She painted landscapes on canvas
hat is, she had painted a single one,
and her grandmother, who had
brought her up from the age Of nine
to nineteen, had raised her hands
above her head and exclaimed:
How beautiful! There isn't an
artist in all America who could have
done better. It's just as natural as
If l. stood looking at the real thing.
My, but I almost expect that COW to
throw up her head and bawl out!
Don't you ever think of getting mar
cied, Clara. You just keep right on
painting such pictures as that"
The scene had been taken from
Thornapple hill, half mile from
the old red farm house. There was
j spotted COW in the foreground, to-
gether with stump or two. Then
there were bushes and. trees, and in
the perspective, as if one were look
ing through joint of stovepipe, was
4 duck sailing on pond. If not told
it was a duck it might have been
taken for the eagle that tapped his
wings and screamed at the battle Of
Bunker Hill.
If the cow had thrown up her head
and beloved it would have been with
pain. Her horns were longer than
her legs, and her tail would have
reached around a haystack. The
trees and bushes seemed to have been
sawed out for the occasion, and the
greensward was such as no herblV-
orous animal ever yet grazed on. On,
yes. it was an oil painting all right
and it would be mean person that
would criticize it to the face Of the
artist or grandmother.
1t was the artist herself who found
just a teenty-weenty bit of fault.
She discovered that one OF the eyes
Of the cow looked up and the other
down, and this didn't seem quite
natural The picture was taken back
to Thornapple hill for closer study.
The spotted cow could always be
found there, and it would not take
long to catch her true attitude. The
painting was on the easel and the
