TO TIE ENDS OF cREVAssEs.
Scheme Devised by Capt. Sheriff. to
be Tested in Lafourche District
Should Any Break Occur During
Coming Flood.

The Lafourche Levee Board, act
ing in conjunction with the Texas
and Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads, has placed an order fol-
1880 pieces of steel sheet piling, Il
inches wide and 20 feet long, to be
used in tying the ends of any ere
vase that might occur in the La
fourche district, according to a
scheme devised by Capt. C. O. Sher-
rill, head Of the United States en-
glneers' office at New Orleans. The
plling will cost $4,000, and the in
Vestment of this amount of money
by the levee board and the railroads
upon mere experiment, after the
project had been subjected to criti-
cal inspection and investigation by
railroad engineers, is regarded as
significant
Capt. Sheriff. believes he has found
a way, by the use Of interlocking
steel pll1ng, to tie the ends of Gre
vases in their incipiency, thus con-
filming the water to a limited inland
area. and paving the way to an easy
closing of those dreaded breaks
which have spread such destruction
over the state in past years. The
scheme has attracted the notice of
several engineering magazines of ma
Conal reputation, which have COM
mented favorably upon it.
The plan consists of driving the
sheet piling through the section of
the levee at each end where the
water has eaten its way, thus form
ing a steel wall, which will prevent
the water from eating further into
the earth contents of the embank-
ment. Then similar walls of the

Rice Market Active.

The rice sensation Of the hour is

among the rice millers to export a

that is,s with the hull removed, and
the practical absorption Of the vis:-=
BILE supply Of clean rice by the LoC-
isiana State Rice Milling Company.
This agreement contemplates the
contribution by each miller Of a

amount of rice for export sufficient TO
reduce the visible supply to safe
proportions. The figures have mo-
been given out, but miliers intimate
the amount to be exported is in ex-
cess Of the amount exported by the
Southern Rice Growers Association
in 1911.
The Louisiana State Rice Milling

NUMBER 81
PEOPLE TOLD TO PREPARE,
Dangerous Possibilities of Present
River Situation Should be Recoq-
nized and Precautionary Meas
ures Taken.

| uFES dkens
r. L. Hines, in charge of the
Louisiana Flood Relief Office, with
headquarters at Baton Rouge, has
issued the following:
People living in sections protected
by levees should be informed of the
| facts relative to the waters now com
ing down the Mississippi Valley. and
| should take such precautions as the
facts demand.
There will be higher water than
we had last year. Those in nosition
to know assure US the levees will
mold the flood. Ample preparations
are being made to support any weak
spots that may develop.
There is, therefore, no cause for
alarm; but we should be foolish in
deed If we failed to recognize the
dangerous possibilities of the situa-
ton and to make prudent prepara-.
tlons against them. AS the COVER
nor's representative, charged with
the duty Of handling the relief work
should a crevasse occur, I beg to
call attention to some results of
last years experience.
Plan for the protection of cattle
and other stock. Organize a foree
OF men whose duty it shall be, on
the first flood warning, to round up
the cattle and drive them to places
of safety. Prepare supplies of feed
at the point of rescue SO that ami
mails may not starye before relief
can be given.
Plan to care for household goods.
Repair the lofts and upper stories Of
cribs and houses. See that ali
things not in immediate use are
put high out of reach of water, and
that on flood warning the others
can be quickly stored.
Plan for the transportation Of
people, especially the women and
children, to places of safety. On
this point we urge that communities
provide a sufficient number of small
boats. Last year a rush order came
to Baton Rouge on Sunday for boats.
we had no boats, SO number OF
citlzens got lumber and other ma
terials and made a lot of Joe boats
and hurried them to the rescue,
thnllg naae s1lff In "a loss
must have resulted from the delay
This type OF boat IS cheap and ef-
fective, and each community should
take the precaution to have a sup
ply ready for any emergency
. Last year thieves roWed through
the oVerfloWed regions and p1under-
ed the goods stored in upper rooms
and lofts. The sheriff in each par
lsh should provide for protection
against such crimes.
In order to render aid promptly,
we must know the conditions in your
community. Let the mayors and
presidents of police juries, or those
appointed by them, keep this office
Informed On all matters pertaining
20 flood conditions. Il there are
weak places in your leYees, we want

possible breaks. This is not the
.fme for alarmist stories or for
.oolish blindness to facts. We want
% know the exact facts Let us
know your plans in case of flood.
let us know anything that will aid
IS in giving assistance in case it
s needed.
The War Department has an
lounced that it will deal only with

he people take precautionary meas
res at once and inform us fully Of
he situation in each community"
