FATHER ALEX. JULIE

Rev. Alex julie, pastor Of the Church
Of the Holy Rosary at Hsrang's Canal,
died last Thursday morning after . long
illness.
His death did not come as surprise
% it was momentarily expected it being
generally known that be could not re-

been ct that post Tor number Of years,
previous to which time be had served O.
pastor at the st. John the Baptist Church

he was stationed at Chackbsy whore he
was the pastor Tor anumber Of years, Just
prior to Rev, Father Tessier's appoint
ment 10 that position. He was native
OF France and had been In this diocese
almost from his ordination.
His remains were inferred on Friday
morning, the funeral being largely sf-
tended. His remains were laid to rest IN
the cemetery adjoining the Church.
A large number Of priests from differ
emit sections Of the state came to the
funeral. During the administration Of
Fathsr julie at Hsrang's Canal the
church made many strides and many
improvements are there as monument
to his energy. Archbishop Blenk has ap-
pointed Rev. Father Jan to act as ad-

Work Of Closing Hymelia
May be Abandoned.

The HymeEa crevasse is rapidly wide.
ming, Notwithstanding all efforts made to
hold the ends. On Thursday It's feet
gave away on the upper end, making
the gap over 1900 feet wide. The crib
bing ut that point. due to the greatly
increasing speed of the current. began
to weaken and it was decided to absn-
don the work there and resume opera
tions some,60O feet further in. This set.
back is most regrettable and has impair
ed the optimistic feeling with which the
engineers were imbued.
The old levee line, about $50 feet be.
hind the break, had been sustaining the
level OF the water in the rear of the Gre:
vase and lessen the fall and velocity of
the current through the break. We'd
nesdsy night this old levee was swept
away, causing an instantaneous drop in
the water level behind the crevasse, in.
creasing the strain upon the levee ends.
The canvass sheets which bound the
ends afforded little relief and large pieces
Of levees sIougbed away from time to
time.
The cribbing held better on the lower
end and the work Of driving piles there
is progressing well. Drivers, working
four abreast on sliding platform, do
the work st each end Of the break.
About 1900 men are employed at
Hymelia and these are divided intu three
shifts. thus keeping the work going
night and day. During the night the
place is Illuminated BY gasoline flare
torches, set out along the levee.
The damage already done by the flood
in our parish is incalculsble at this time
for tho reason That the backwater is

daily. Many planters, having large areas
to protect. are operating pumping plants
at great expense.
Others daily note the increasing rise

Relief to Planters Refused;
Will Taxes Be Exacted

The residents of Lucy, in their at.
tempt to protect their homes and farms
on what is known as Bonnet Carre Point,
from overflow, appealed to the Lafourche
Levee Board for lumber required, and
we're refused.
The lands that could be protected com.
prise some 1000 acres and represent all
that owned by over fifty families.
1t was proposed to build a dam be-
tween the new and the old levee and to
connect with the Glendale protection
levee. There was about twelve inches of
water over the area affected. which would
be easily drained of and save the Point.
The refusal OF the Board to come to
the aid and assistance of the numerous
property owners affected. caused much
disappointment. The people we're about
to call mass meeting to protest against
the action Of the vested levee authoriti-
es. particularly against Mr.. Alfred Songy,
the member of the board from this
parish, when Sheriff Berthelot urged his
friends not to resort tc harsh criticism
in mass meeting, but to use their endea-
vols to obtain the material needed. This
wise suggestin was needed and no hasty
action taken by the excited populace.
Further appeals we're made to the
Board. with no better result and finally
Mr.. Berthelot bought the required mat.
erial from Garyville and from the God.
chaux' at Reserve.
The woodwork to close this coulee is
completed and halt of the fields inside
are dry, but 30 many OF the people IN
terested were disgusted at the lack Of
material at the start that they left for
other points. Mr. Berthelot, who is active.
~ engaged in the work, informs US that
he has only Is workmen when he should
have 100. Barring sccidents, the Sheriff
says, he will have the dirt in by to-day.
The small property holders. at the
point urged that while the levee board
is willing to spend more than $100,000
in an attempt to close the Hymelia
crevaase, it is unwilling to spend few
hundred dollars in material alone when
they are willing to furnish the labor
free. As che Legislature will probably
extend relief to the overfowed farm
lands OF the State from taxation for the
present year, would it not have been wise
for the Lafourche Levee Board to help
save few hundred acres from the wreck?
The taxes from these lands would have
moro than rewarded the Board in the ex-
penditures. These places we're threaten
ed with waters from the Hymelia cre-
vase and it seems that the Levee Board
should lend protection and assistance
from all sncroachments Of waters from
the Mississippi river. II the legality Of
the action warranted the refusal Of the
lumber, Q moral obligation still remained
and should have been needed. The Mes.
chacebe recognizes the fact that Levee
Boards are not charitable institutions,
nor disseminators OF charity, neyerthe-
less, in this instance it believes that
some discretion could have been exer-
cised for the benefit Of the numerous
farmers interested and particularly Of
the Board itself.
