LOREAUvILLE NOTES.

The soaking rain which fell
throughout our section last week,
although impeding the progress of
the cane harvesting to some ex-
tent, was much needed for othe:
purposes and will prove beneficial
to the fall truck and the cane
windrowed for seed. Corn is be-
ing held by many farmers as the
present price is considered unsat-
isfactory. The weather was very
favorable this week for the wind
ing up Of the cane harvest here
It has been one of the most re-
markable seasons for taking off
the cane crop Of which there is
any record. The farmers have
no complaint to make, as they
have had only two rains of any
consequence since the grinding
season began and only a few
days have been lost out of the
fields. The good weather and
the splendid condition Of tho
roads and fields, which prevailed
during the rolling season, have
enabled the farmers to take off
their cane crop, at minimum Of
expense, compared with other sea-
sons.
The good prices paid for rice
this year have enabled those. who
were engaged in the culture Of
this cereal. to cancel a good part
of their debts. contract ted during
the last two years.
We were informed that q Mr..
Decuir cleared 100000 on twen-
ty arpents of rice. He said that
he will double his acreage for
next year.
Many Of the farmers here have
the rice fever bad. in fact so bad,
that they will substitute rice for
cane. q
Mr.. John Valet reports that
over 1000 acres will be planted in
rice along his irrigating canal
next year.
Eggs are scarce and high here:
zoe per dozen is being paid by
the country merchants.
Turkeys have never been so
scarce as this year, those who
have them for sale are demanding
stiff prices for them.

MEETING OF THE CONFED-
ERATE VETERANS.

On Sunday morning last .
meeting Of Iberia Camp No. 17SS
was held at their headquarters
with Captain Commander E. j.
Carstens in the chair. After the
roll call, Adjutant A. A. Flory
read the constitution and by
laws which had been submitted by
the committee appointed for that
purpose and they were duly
adopted. One Of the principal
objects Of the organization being
formed here is to see that all the
disabled veterans are properly
cared for and that a helping hand
be extended to the needy within
their ranks and that their widows
and orphans be protected and as
sisted when in distress. One Of
the most important articles Of
their organization is that all
members attend in a body the
funeral Of a deceased brother.
Those in attendance at the last
session were: E. j. Carstens,
Captain Commander; A. A. Flory,
Adjntant; Messrs. 0. BONN, II.
d. Stansbury, Felix Patout, Da-
vid Hayes, Fred Davis, A. N. Reg.
gio, B. F. House, A. Barilleau,
VOORHEES, Deroucn, II. H. Furr,
Nuna BrouRaFd, PA. Dupuy
and John A. French.
It being the intention of those
worthy Confederate Veterans to
give an entertainment at an early
date in the shape Of a musical
program, it behooves some civic
organization in New Iberia to as
sist them in the worthy UNDER
taking. It is needless FOR us to
mention that the least we could
do for them Is to assist them III
the entertainment which they
would like to give at an early
date. All Of the sons and daugh-
tesr Of the Confederate Veterans
appreciate their worth as citizens
in this community and we feel
certain were some one to take the
lead, Z program could be ar
ranged for ! benefit that would
be literally patronixed by the cit
liens Of the City and Parish
which would add much to their
cxchequer. Will not the ladies'

verbal report relative to the pur-
chase of the Wyche Toll Road
He said, that after conferrlng
with w. E. Atkinson, State High
way Engineer, who agreed TO
transfer the $6,000.O0 appreprlat-
ed by his department to the con
struction of the Wyche and
Burke Station Roads, to the use
of the latter road in the proper
ton of IL to be paid by the State
and y by the Parish and acting
under the authority given to HIM
at the last meeting OF the jury
he thought it more economical 10
purchase the Toll Road for the
price of Thirty Five Hundred
Dollars. This would not only
provide free road to the travelling
public from January list, put
would furnish the amount neces-
sary for the construction OF the
Burke Highway and leave a bal
ance sufficient to Improve the
Wyche road out Of the Ten Thou
sand Dollars appropriated Tor
that purpose. On motion, duly
seconded and carried, the action
of the President was approved by
the Jury.
The Secretary reported, thai
in conformity with instructions
given him at the last meeting, he
had written the following to the
City Commissioners OF New lbe-
ria: II
To the Honorable City Commits
sioners, New Iberia, La:
Gentlemen am directed by
the Police jury to submit to you
the proposal, that the City OF
New Iberia furnish Light and
Water service to the Court House
and Jail in exchange OF the rent
of the property occupied by the
City Jail and the passageway
leading thereto.
In making this proposition, the
Jury is impelled by the belief
that the Court House and Jail are
public necessities which serve
the purpose of attracting the
trade of the entire Parish to It's
County Seat, and are deserving
of consideration at your hands.
The former especially being util-
lied, in great measure, by cltl
zens of this City, many OF whom,
make daily service of the con-
veniences provided for the gene
raj public.
Should you refuse to enter into
this proposed agreement, l am
instructed to notify you that
monthly rental of Twenty Dollars
$4,000 will be imposed upon
the City, dating from january
1st, 1913, for the use of the prop
erty above referred to.
Trusting that the same spirit
which actuated the Parish Off
Gals in granting free use to the
City Of its property for a period
of ten years will lead you to the
acceptance Of this proposition, J
am, I l.iM
Respectfully,
w. L. BURKE,

was received:
Mr.. w. L. Burke, Secretary, Pc

favor of the LIST inst, in which
you submit the proposition that
the City of New iberia furnish

to advise that the Board Of Trus-
tees Of the City at its last meet

obvious reason that no free SER

BOND ISSUE ID
 BE INCREASED
Advisory Board Decides to Make It Million and a Half - Committees to Make Trip of Inspection of Country $ Roads

The advisory board that is looking into the matter of the location of the good roads that are to network the county of Maricopa when the proposed bond issue shall have been carried, yes terday decided upon the advice of many of the farmers of the valley to increase the issue to be voted upon from $1.25o,- GOO to $1,500,0O0, in order that no de tail of adequate road construction shall be left undone The main backbone roads are to be built in such a perma- nent fashion that they will be adequate in all that word implies.
 The resolution deciding this was passed without q dissenting vote at a full meeting of the board that was held in the offices in the court house yes terday afternoon. At this time it was also decided to investigate the road construction in Wayne county, Michi- gan. in Fl Paso county. Texas, and in California. All possible information as to the best road that can be construct ed is to be collected by the committee before the final definate action is taken
 The backbone roads decided upon yesterday will run from Phoenix to Glendale and thence to Peoria. This construction will not vary except IS to the width of the road. It is all to be first class road. The same will apply to all the others. The road will run from Phoenix to Tempe and Mesa and thence to the edge line of the project. From Mesa the line will go to Chand- Ter. South along the line of Center street the road will run two and a half miles to the base line. West the road will run to Avondale. Tn addition to these will be roads constructed out of local material from Liberty to Buckeye, from Peoria to Wickenburg.
 The investigations of the board have shown that the amount of traffic on these roads is more than was cOnsid- cred possible. There will be 62 miles of actual backbone roads, to which will run over fifty miles of feeders. There will be feeders run in every direction to the main line of roads. These feeders are almost as important as the main line roads.
 In response to the request upon the United States government for an eX- pert Congressman Carl Hayden wired yesterday that an expert will be sent, while Senator Smith wired the request will receive immediate attention.
 The committees are: For Wayne county. w S. Humbert, w. B. Lount. and c. c. Jones of Tempe. These men will also inspect the construction in the
