Assumption, representing the La
follrche Basin Levee Board, and
Commissioners Honore Dugas of As
sumption and Thomas Beary of La
fourche, representing the Atehafa-
Iaya LeEee Board, on Wednesday
made an inspection of Bayou La
fourche from Napoleonville to Har-
ang's Canal. The trip was made in
Harold Innson' S fleet gasoline launch,
and careful observations were taken
IF the condition of the bayou, partic-
uIarly with reference to what dredg-
ing is required at various points and
to the amount of work done by the
dredgeboat= now operating in the
:tream. To the qualification of the
commissioners comparatively few wa
Ter lilies were noted, and it is hoped
that no further trouble or annoyance

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE!
The Chief is not responsible for the
views expressed by correspondents.
Charlton in ST. James.

St. Amelia, La, Oct. q, 1912.
Editor Chief:
In the last issueSof your paper you
state that DR.. Moore found cases of
Charlton near Burton and Jamestown,
st. James. There's no Charlton near
Burton nor Jamestown. Last We'd
nesday peddler's5 horse died in
front of the Poirrier blacksmith shop.
No doctor except Numa HimeI saw
the horse, and he8 advised that the
horse be buried, which was imme-
diate1y done. This peddler admitted
that he had been in the Vacherie set
tlement fifteen days previous, there
fore we supposed the said horse had
Charlton. The planters and other
property owners had their stock vac
cinated as a precaution against char
bon and Guaranteed their prem
ises. The st. James mill lost two
mules since. Gus. Alleman lost his
horse and found a mule dead in the
stable. Can't say whether these ami.
mails died of charlton or not, as I
don't know anything of these cases.
am informed that Charlton is cpl
demic in the Vaeherie section of
St. James.
Respectfully, H. A. HIMEL. S

Vigilants Raise Fund to Paint Hose
Wadcn

The hose wagon of Vigilant Hose
Company No. 8 being badly in need
OF repalnting, and there being no
funds in the treasury available for
that purpose, Morris Schneider, one
OF the hustllng young members CT the
company, decided to appeal to the
public to come to the assistance Of
the Vigilants in this instance, and
through his own efforts succeeded in
raising the snug sum of $3.50 by
means of subscription list which he
circulated this week. The Vigilants
are one Of our most efficient and
reliable fire-fighting organizations,
and that their value is recognized
and appreciated is evidenced by the
spontaneous and liberal response to
their appeal for aid. The contribu-
tors to the fund were as follows:

that Markle's show-boat will be here
that night, and that the Halloween
