doche, than to lend a helping
hand to the sturdy people who
are settled on both banks of the
Teche, creating wealth, a great
portion of which goes to enrich
the City Of 0pelousas? I do not
believe the people Of Washing
ton will turn a cold shoulder to
the double opportunity of nayiga-
ton and irrigation, as embodied
in the report Of the engineers of
the National Government.
Mr.. Editor, although we do
not enjoy all the privileges ac-
corded to some civilized com
munities, still, living as we do on
the outskirts Of this Wanted
civilization, we sometimes get a
glimpse Of the inside splendors
of your city and its up-to-date
civilization.
This great movement for the
Improvement of the waterways
of Louisiana, is in line with the
latest efforts of the National
Government in that direction,
and I believe that when the in
telligent people of st. Landry
will conform to the idea Of these
men Of science, who represent
the National Government, the
better and more certain will be
their future. Finally I wish to
saw that the people of the Teche
valley are not so warped in their
ideas as to ask everything and
give nothing. We will gladly
welcome any plan suggested by
the people Of Washington, i they
can suggest one that would give
Greater assurance than the pre-
sent one, as to their having
enough water at all times to run
their irrigating plant. AS for
the Teche, locks are already
under construction, thanks to
the efforts of our Caian
Congressman from the third
district, which will, by next
January, place US in direct com
mnnication with New Orleans,
and al towns along the Teche.
EIt is up to you people to think
This matter over, and let those
whose attitude is ruin Of rule 4
an matters, sink into innocuous
disuetude.

coNNEcTlcuT,s DEATH TRAP.
The Railroad Cross ing at New London
Dangerous Place.

We read in the New London Day,
says the Hartford Courant, that the
crossing tender at the State street
CT ossing in that city has resigned after
is months service. We do not blame
him; indeed, we congratulate him on
living so long while on that hazardous
post and on saving his life by getting
out ahead of the undertaken. If there
is death trap in Connecticut, it is just
where the principal street of New
London runs down to the waterfront
and crosses at grade all the tracks of
the railroads. You've got to cross if
You wish to go over the ferry or to
Fishers Island or to Eastern Point Or
to Block Island or to the New York
boat. New London's boast is her har-
Dor. and to reach it one must somehow
pass in front of all the engines and
cars of the great trunk line of railroad
and also of the agile and uncertain
switchers. 1t strikes the Courant that
this crossing tender. who is going now
into the construction business, might
turn neat penny by writing after
hours his "reminiscences of Is months
in the jaws of death, telling how many
times he just ESCAPED and how many
less fortunate he saw manned or kill
ed. The only element of safety at that
crossing is in its excessive peril; it is
SO dangerous that the danger impresses
almost everybody who stons within the
zone of probable destruction.

voted that all in the mechanical de-
partment of the institution should be

week. All but the engineers now have
that time, but they have been working
twelve hours. The change goes into

During the day the trustees looked
over the plans for the new buildings

ings, the nurses cottages and wards.

be fitted up and sent out for bids in

be started on them as soon as possible.
