Under the stimulus of an early full

Zion is experiencing quickening of
new life in all departments of its
work. Especially is this noticeable
in the Sunday School and the B. Y.

The leaders of thees auxiliaries are
Young men of energy and vision and
the results of their work will not be
measured in many Years to come.
The leaders of the Mission Circle
the Sewing Circle and the Willing
Workers are also realizing that a
larger opportunity means large re
sponsibility, and against the time the
congregation will have gotten moved
into its magnificent home at the cor
ner of Twenty fourth avenue and Og-

most efficiently organized congrega-
tons for the prosecution of church
work known in the West.
Brother Charley Muse heads the
new Board of Ushers, with 20 young
men who will render to the public the
kind of service that will quicken its
desire to return. Our splendid choir
will be also augmented by the addi

city can furnish. Mrs. Faulkner, the
directress, will return to the city early
in July, when new features will be
added to our order of worship which
will be delight to our large congre
sation.
Last Sunday morning the pastor
preached to large and appreciative
audience on the subject of Fruit
Bearing" The beautiful parable in
the 18th chapter of John furnished
the theme. There is little doubt that
the congregation not only enjoyed but
profited by the discourse.
The series of sermons on THE
Home Life" is drawing to its close
The last subject, Divorce" will be
delivered next Sunday evening. The
interest which these subjects have
quickened is more than remarkable
and the pastor is grateful for this ap-
probation on the part of the public
Beginning with the first Sunday in
July, the pastor will preach 15-minute
sermons from The Parallels OF

REAPS final
REWARD.

Mrs Alice Leila Gil Sandoz,
wife Of Mr.. L. A. SandoZ, was
found dead in her bed Thursday
morning at 6 6o'clock. Ms. Sandoz
had long been a sufferer, and
while her demise was not wholly
unexpected the quiet ending of a
long and useful life was none the
less a distinct shock.
The funeral services were held
from the house yesterday after
noon. with concluding ceremonies
at the Catholic church. The
Rev. Father Engberink officiated.
The deceased is survived by
her husband, Mr.. l.. A. Sandoz,
and eight children: Misses Leila
and Gertie Sandoz, Mrs. Geo.
Wright, of Iota, La, and William
j., Gordon, Stewart, Ellis and
Hilton Sandoz.
Mrs. Sandoz was born in Baton
Rouge April A, 1851, and on June
28. 1869, was married to L. A.
Sandoz, and since that time has
been a resident of Opelousas.
She was of the Boutte family,
and also related to the Lavergne,s
and Chachere's. Mrs. Sandoz's $
father was at one time mayor Of
Baton Rouge, and her Spanish
forebears took a prominent part
in the early settlement Of Mexico.
The Clarion extends fullest
sympathy to the bereaved hus-
hand. sons and daughters. Mrs.
Sandoz was beloved by all who
knew her. She was a woman OF
charming personality, and in the
wears that she lived did much to
enshrine herself in the hearts of
all those with whom she came in
contact.

Dam Bayou Courtableau!
Community Is Passive.

against the proposition is in ST.
Landry Parish. 1t is claimed
that the damming of Bayou
Courtableau would affect the
Union Irrigation Company, of
ISt. Landry. It is their conten-
tion that they would not obtain
sufficient water for the irrigation
purposes outlined by the canal.
" Colonel Lansing II. Beach
told me that the daming of
Courtableau will really benefit
the canal instead of hampering
it. However, as no one lately in
the Teche district has taken in
terest in the closing of Bayou
Courtableau and the further de-
velopment of Bayou Teche, Col
onel Beach said that in his report
to Washington he will point out
that it is useless to force an i'm
provement on people when they
do not appear to want it.
He said further that there
are many streams which are in
need of Improvement, and that
he viii recommend the present
project be abandoned and recon-
mend appropriations where the
people want the improvements.
The land embraced in the
Union Irrigation Canal Company,
of st. Landry, according to the
claim of the company, is about
/, 600, 900 acres. With the clos
ing of Bayou Courtableau the
Canal Company can get all Of the
water it needs from Bayou Court
ableau.
I" I make this statement be-
cause Colonel Beach advised me
that he had made this assertion
to the people of st. Landry.
: The land embraced and at
fected by the reclamation west
Of the Atchafalaya River is about
2, 900, 900 acres.
IF action is not taken at
once to prevail on the people of
st. Landry and pursuade them
they are In error and get their
cooperation and support, Colonel
Beach will make his unfavorable
report to Washington, and at
least fifteen years will elapse be-
fore a similar opportunity to

St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1911-04-22

In the Picayune of the 18th,
there appeared an article relating
to Bayou Courtableau, and the
general dam plan looking to its
conservation. The following ar
ticle taken from the Picayune of
the 18TH, simply amplifes what
is already known to the general
public:
Unless the residents of Ayoy-
elles, ST. Landry, ST. Martin,
Iberia and lower ST. Mary Parish
es show quickly that they are
interested in the Federal Govern
ment's proposition to build dam
across Bayou Courtableau at Port
Barre, the plan will go like a
judgement by default, " and
with it the plans Of the Atcha-
falaya Basin Levee District.
This was the unqualified state
ment made yesterday by J. j..
Burdin, of st. Martinsyille. He
was a guest at the Monteleone.
So utterly dumfounded was
Mr.. Burdin when he obtained the
information that he could hardly
understand the full import. He
sought a conference with Govern
or Sanders, but the governor had
left New Orleans. He could not
talk with Major Kerr, chief of
the State Board Of Engineers,
because he is in Washington City
on business. Mr.. Burdin says
that the building of the proposed
levees along the Atchafalaya and
the opening up of Bayou Teche
for navigation further than Ar
naudville have vanished for a
long period Of time unless prompt
action is taken.
The very fact of the matter
is that Mr.. Burdin obtained
his information from Colonel
Beach, of the United States
Engineers.
1t has been the topic OF con-
versation of every man, woman
and child in the district, said
Mr.. Burdin, that reclamation
plans would be realized by the
building of a levee system next
the Atchafalaya River to protect
the Teche country.
The leyee system is now
built a few miles from the mouth
of Bayou Courtableau, and can
not be built further than the
mouth. AS long as Bayou
Courtableau remains open
the comprehensive system of
Ievees outlined by the governor
and surveyed by the State Board
of Engineers, will be delayed in
definitely, unless the people of
the Teche country realize the.
great Importance of the closing
of Bayou Courtableau, which is
the key to the reclamation of at
least 2, 200, 600 acres of the best
land in the State of Louisiana.

Three negro BOYS
RUN Blind TIGER
Rob DietIeiH Jacobs Of Gin and WhIskey
and NsIghhOFhOOd Gets Drunk.
HIGHBALLS AT ANY PRICE
Youthful "Jag" dispensers Get Sentence Of
80 Days In Parish
Prison.

Despite the fact that they are
now languishing behind the bars
Of the parish bastile, three negro
boys, Clayton David, Mason Nc
Bride and Dallas White, may
deservedly be given the palm for
being the most expeditions dis
pensers of liquid refreshments
now extant in this part Of the
moral vineyard.
But they dispensed too literally;
any old thing went with them.
A quart of gin was worth five
cents or six bits, according to the
opulance of the purchaser. As
a natural result of all this un-
licensed dispensing of wine that
is red," sundry persons, includ-
ing some juveniles, got too much.
In other words they became in
toxicated, which really means to
say that these same sundry per-
sons got drunk.
Finally these untoward events
came to the knowledge of the
police. Officer Horn began one
Of his Conan Doyle stunts. 1t
didn't take him long to deduce
the fact that certain youths were
drinking and that some were
drunk. 1t was not then a diff
cult matter to ascertain the
names of the parties who had
brought about this condition.
The arrests of the negro boys
named above, followed. They
were haled before Judge Kerr,
and without much ado given a
sentence of thirty days in the
parish jail.
It appears that for some weeks
past Dietlein and Jacobs have
been missing liquid goods. One
of the convicted boys was en-
ployed at the warehouse, but so
clever was he in his movements,
that he escaped even suspicion.
Finally, however, it was noticed
that other negro boys were go
ing into the warehouse with an
empty sack, but always left with
the sack partly filled. The ar
rest of the boys, their confes-
sion and conviction followed.
