while the propellers slowly revolved.
As they went faster the machine
plowed it's way through the slushy
surface of the river, turned a COM

into the air. A breeze, estimated at
twenty-four miles an hour, north by
northwest, and not any too warm,
made the flying difficult. For sixteen
minutes and a half Coffyn flew from
one bank to another, circling the tug
and the ferryboats that were passing.
His altitude was about 500 feet, Then
he came to the surface and, going
north, made ribbons of spray as the

water. Again he took the air, this

TO Close Godct1aux Canal.

A. squad of 119 convicts, who have
been in camp IN the Gay Company's
St. Louis plantation in IberFille
parish, in charge of Capt Jamison,
arrived here Tuesday morning on the
5quarterboat Baton Rouge and left
later in the day, via the Lafourdhe
Mercantile Company's gasoline tow
boat and barge, for Raceland, where
they will be employed in closing the
Godchaux canal which empties into
bayou Lafourche Flood water from
the Hynelia crevasse is pouring into
the bayou through this canal in such
volume as to cause the former
stream to overflow its banks in the
lower Lafourche section, and it was
to prevent the inundatien of a large
area Of land in Lafourche and Ter
rebonne parishes that the decision
was arrived at to dam the canal.
The water in the bayou at this
point has been on a stand for the
past several days, after having risen
approximately SO feet in a week. No
further rise is expected here.

Ter Of the Belle Helene neighborheod

preventative that the crops on his
place are in magnificent shape, and
that the outlook at this time is I'M
usually promising. MIR. Many's land,
situated on the east bank Of the
liver, was not threatened by over
flow TO any serious extent during the
recent high water, and as there was
70 necessity for the construction of
back 1eyees all the hands were avail
able for work in the. fields on every.
day permitted by weather conditions
The result is that his crop is almost
entirely free Of grass, and he states
that within the next two or three
days he will have finished going
over the entire place. He was
troubled by the grass worm to some
extent a few weeks ago, but the
pest has disappeared and close

shows that comparatively little dam

Swings for Louisiana Square.

Jasmin Tobias, one of Donaldson
ville's leading merchants and public.
spirited citizens, has. started a move
ilept to raise sufficient funds, by
n1eans Of public subscription, to place
half a dozen or more iron lawn
swings IN Louisiana Square, for the
use OF the many children who throng
that delightful playground daily. The
Square is already provided with iron
benches, settees and arbors, donated
by citizens of the community, and
the addition of several lawn swings,
as proposed by Mr.. Tobias, will make
the pretty park one of the most at
tractive and modern recreation plazas
to be found in a city of this size in
the state.
Writing to The Chief on this sub
ject, Mr.. Tobias. says.
Having a beautiful park provided
with benches to accommodate Wis
itors, let us not be unmindful of the.
fact that the many children who
gather there to enjoy themselves are
not provided with seats. I feel CON
fident that our children-loving public
would gladly contribute their mite to-
ward the happiness Of the little ones,
by having swings placed in the park,
and I take pleasure IN enclosing here
with my contribution Of S.. to a fund
for this purpose. I hope The Chief
will receive like donations from our
merchants and citizens, the; necessary
amount, when secured, to be turned
over to the park commission for the
purchase of these swings,
The Chief viii be glad to receive
and acknowledge contributions to a
fund to be employed as Mr.. Tobias
suggests, and hereby opens the list
with the donation sent il. by the
