MRS. sTEINBERGER's RECITAL

Last Tuesday evening Mrs. G.
Steinberger assisted by I. T. Purcell
and Miss Deans gave her pupils a
music recital at. the court house1
The house was packed and seldom has
the public been more pleasantly
entertained than they were on this
occasion. Miss Deans possesses a
voice of rare clearness and sweetness
and her singhing was much appreciat-
ed. Mr.. Purcell with his character
istic humor brought down the house
as usual about the only fault the
audience had to find with him was
that he didn't sing more for Mr.. Pur-
cells singing is enchanting therefore
his hearers were somewhat dissapoint-
ed when he failed to respond to~a
thunderous encore. The eleven
pupils who took part In this recital
certainly are to be congratulated up
on the excellent work which they
are doing. From the beginning to
the closing of the program each and
every number was not only good but
excellent and the manner in which
they were rendered bespoke the faith
full teacher, the faithful mother and
the faithful pupil. Mrs. Steinberger
and her pupils are to be congratulate
ed on this their first public recital in
Wa-Keeney.

Congressman Morgan to Work for
Locks

Congressman L. L. Morgan. who
Is making tour of the parishes com
prlsing the sixth district for the pt1r-
pose OF looking after his political
rencesf and studying the needs of
MS constituents, visited Donaldson
vile Thursday and called upon a mum
Der of his friends and supporters, &C.
companied by his campaign manager,
Caleb e. Weber. and Postmaster Will
fred Guigou. Mr.. Morgan said he
intended td interest himself in the
matter OF securing the construction
OF locks to replace the Bayou La
fourche dam at this point, and would
take some action with that end in
view Immediately upon returning to
Washington. He declares il was new
eP the intent or understanding of the
national government to permit Bayou
Lafourche to be permanently cut off
from navigable connection with the
Mississippi river, and thinks the
leVee boards should be compelled to
live up to their agreement to substi.
tute locks for the dam which now in
terrupts traffic between the bayou
and river. Mr.. Morgan realizes that
this subject is one Of vital interest
and Importance to a very large num-
Der of his constituents. and he pro-
poses to wage an active campaign in
their behalf with view to remedy
Ing the intolerabIe conditions now
existing and so loudly complained Of.

lafourche District Levees.

An inspection of the 1eVees on the
west bank of the river from Donald
sonvilIe to Harvey was made last
week by the Lafourche Basin Levee
Board, headed by J. F. Wigginton,
acting PRECEDENT Of the organization.
>aaa+the naubasers of the board partiei-
Eated in the inspection, and Major F.
M. Kerr and John Klorer, of the
State Board of Engineers, were also
present. The 1evees were found in
excellent condition, with the excep-
ton OF two or three stretches under
the supervision of the United States
engineers, contracts for the repair of
which have been let for some time.
An inquiry will probably be directed
to the federal engineering depart
ment by the 1evee board to ascertain
the cause Of the delay in the work.
The Inspection was made in automo-
blles, and the trip was a most sue
cessful and satisfactory one in every
way. The leyees below Harvey to
the passes will be inspected at
later date.
