Puzzled as to Motive.
MIR. Dunbar is puzzled TO seer
tain what could have been the
motive for the kidnapping of his
child. The only thing that he can
aScrlbc it to is q desire TO obtain
a ransom and he says that there
must have been a mistake ON the
part OF the kidnapers. 81 think
they thought that the child wa,
one of the family Of the wealthy
Dunbars of New Orleans. They
didn't know that if belonged to A
poor real estate and insurance
agent in Opelousas. The strange
part of the whole transaction is
that never once in all this search
did | receive letter asking for
the reward or making any prop-
osition on which the child would
lr returned.
81 am inclined to think that
the crlmawas committed by yegg-
men and this man Walters. who
had the child. is a sort Of am ad-
vance agent of a gang. | am GER
tain that he is one of a gang

to have him arrested at that time.

seen by Preston King, Opille

A Stock Company Coming
On Monday.

The Angel Comedians will ar
rive in this city on Monday
night. They will be in Opel
ousas for a week, playing on the
Elks Home grounds, under the
auspices of the local order of B.
P. O. E.
This stock company is consid-
cred one of the best repertoire
shows travelling in this section of
Louisiana, and it comes to Opel
ousas highly recommended. As
the popular prices tent shows
are always welcomed here it is
expected that large crowds will
witness this show each night
during the holidays.
The Elks have always been
known for bringing good clean
shows to this CITY and it is hoped
that the public will show their
appreciation of the Billies' en-
deavors in making things lively
in the old town during the liveli-
EST seasons of the year.

Naturally the people of Ope-

It is understood that a meet
ing of the farmers in that sec
ton will be called in the next
few days to decide upon the
best plans to pursue. An engi-
neer will be employed to survey
the proposed canal and estimate
the cost of construction, after
which the contract will be let
out and the work will be begun.
It is said that the drainage
canal which is being built about
four or five miles above this
place by the farmers Of L'Anse
des Bellas has greatly aroused
the interest of the Andrepont
farmers. The work of Mr.. John
Hidalgo, of this city, to whom
the contract has been let, has
been the talk of that section of
the old parish. This cana
which is being constructed at
present and the proposed drain
age canal at "A ndrepont postofice
will thoroughly drain thousands
of acres Of land, which have
EV
often been flooded on account of
bad drainage.
If the farmers in various Sec
tons of st. Landry were to get
together and build drainage ca
nails it would be only a matter
of a few months to convert
many useless fields into fine cul-
tivable lands. It is to be hoped
that the land owners will soon
come to the realization that
without the proper drainage the
lands in this parish will never
produce as large crops as they
should, and that the work of
building good roads will be slow.

ANDREPONT FARMERS
WILL BUILD CANAL
Getting Tired of Mud and
Water They Will Drain
Their Lands

The farmers living in the An
drepont section of this parish
have gotten together and have
practically decided to build a
drainage canal, which will be
almost a mile long, but which will
drain several miles of very fer
tile farm lands. They have
come to the conclusion. like
many other farmers should, that
they have lived entirely too long
IN mud and water and that it is
high time that they drain their
lands, since the parish has been
unable to do this work.
A drainage canal was begun a
lew years ago but was never
completed. But these men,
headed by ]. F. Vidrine, Aris-
nle Sebastian, DR.. Vidrine, Dali
las Pitre and other prominent
citizens Of that portion of this
parish, are determined that they
Will drain that fertile section of
NJ Landry. In a few days they
expect to have enough money to
let out a contract for the build
ng OF this canal, which will
mean a saving of thousands Of
uollass to the farmers Of Andre
pont and Plaisanee each year.
