Train Service Interrupted,

The stage Of water in the Atcha-
falaya river having rendered it nee
essary to open the Texas and Paci-
fic draw-bridge at Melville, cutting
off connection to the westward, four
through trains on that road were an
nulled last Monday, as follows: No.
81, due here at 1909 p. M; No. So,
due at 5:4S a. M; No. So, due at
1905 p. M, and No. so, due at 1:04
p. m. Two through trains will be
continued-No. SO, due at 1929 a..
M, and No. 81, due at 5:33 p. m.
Local service to Torras will be con
tinued with trains No. SIS, due at
1852 p. M, and No. Sc, due at 8.18
a. m. The bridge will not be closed
until the water subsidies, and the one
Through train a day in each direc-.
ton will be routed via the Frisco
from Livonia to Eunice and thence
to Bunkie, d detour of about forty
miles. Embargoes will probably be
placed on all freight except perisha-
1.bles, lumber being on the embargo
list. The Frisco has new bridge
over the AtchafaIaya, which is nu UGH
higher than the T. and bridge,
and hence may escape being put out
OF business by the high water.
Due to the flooding of its tracks
by the crevasse in Mississippi, the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail
road has discontinued its fast through
train, the Memphis express, leaving
New Orleans at 2::55 p. M. and ar
irving at that city at $50 p. m.
Owing to the annulment OF this
train, the steamer Virgie has
changed the hour of departure of its
second afternoon trip from to 5:45
O'Clock, connecting at Burnside with
the Bayou Sara and WoodvilIe &C
commodation train leaving New Or
leans at 4:15 p. m.

Lafourche District Levees.

At hearing before the Missis-
sippi River Commission in New Or
leans last Monday, President E. G.
swartz of the Lafourche Leyee Board
told the commission of the wants of
his district Much of the 1evees, !"
he stated, are below the standard
set by the State Board of Engineers.
Above the city we can care for the
levees, but our chief trouble lies be-
low New Orleans, 1t will take
practically 100000 yards of earth
to bring the embankments up to a
level of the 1912 high water, and
approximately 100000 yards to
bring them up to the commissions
standard, three feet higher than the.
previous high water mark" Mr..
SWartz pointed out the necessity
for devising some scheme to prevent
wave wash, which he stated was the
cause of considerable damage to the
levees and a source Of much expense.

Smoke Bend Fair 4 Success.

The fund to erect a new school
house = Ia Smoke Bend to replace
the present antiquated structure
has been increased by more than
$500 as a result of the tWo-day fair
given in that community last Sun
day and Monday. The entertain
ment, which came to a close Mon
day night, proved a success finan-
cially and otherwise, and Manager
Henry Dugas and his corps OF as
sistants are entirely satisfied with
the showing made, considering the
hard times" now prevailing. The
gross receipts of the fair totaIled
s7o!.5o, and the expenses aggregated
$4,000, leaving a net profit of $508. 46
to be added to the building fund

glam Sunday afternoon were a has
ketbalI game between the girls
teams of the Donaldsonville and
Napoleonyille high schools, and
three-round sparring exhibition by
Battling" Pfister and Stanley So
bral, of Donaldsonville. The basket
ball contest resulted in favor of the
NapoleonvilIe girls by a score OF %
to II.
Large crowds attended the fair
both days, and the various booths
and attractions were quite literally
patronized. On Monday afternoon
the attendance was s#elled by big
delegations of school children from
the Donaldsonville, Barton, BruIy
Sacramento, Smoke Bend and Elise
Memorial schools, who were given a
half-holiday for the occasion. Pupils
of the Burnside school, although un-
able to attend the entertainment,
sent a contribution OF nearly SIS to
be added to the receipts
Manager Dugas and the various
committees Of ladies and gentlemen
who assisted him in planning and
conducting the festival left nothing
undone to assure the success OF the
entertainment and to provide a good
time for all who attended, and a
cordial vote of thanks is due them
by the people of Smoke Bend for
their untiring efforts in behalf of the
school children of that community.

were anxious to play, so the Oak

r. p. a. Convention Called OFF.

u. r, "A. convention sCaifeG UT.
Owing to the disturbed condition
OF affairs caused By the high NHtdr
and the resultant disruption Of train
service on the Texas and Pacific and
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail
roads, it has been decided to call OF
the annual state convention Of the
Travellers Protective Association OF
| America, which was to have been
| held IN Donaldsonville May and 10
This action was taken Thursday by
| the local committee, com posed OF
Mayor Charles Maurin, D. D. Dial
feres, Henry Meter and Raphael
Singer, representing Post I Of the or.
| DER, upon receipt of a letter from
W. Q. Hudson, chairman Of the board
OF directors Of the state organiza.
tion, suggesting that in view Of the
flood situation the convention here
be pretermitted, and that a one-day
business session be held instead il
the city of New Orleans on some
date prior to May 10 for the election
of officers for the ensuing year, as
required by the constitution of the
ASSOCIATION
Active preparations for entertain
ing the convention had been institl1-
ted by Post I, with the cooperation
of the Woman's Civic League and
the people of Donaldsonyille gener-
ally, and it was proposed to make
the meeting one of the most success
full and enjoyable in the history of
the Louisiana division In view OF
the prevailing circumstances, how
ever, the local committee deemed it
best to concur in the suggestion OF
the state board that the convention
be abandoned, and has reluctantly an.
nounced that Donaldsonville will not
have the pleasure of entertaining the
knights Of the grip this year.
A marine piIe-driyer and quarter
boat belonging to the firm of Doul-
Tut C Williams, contractors of New
Orleans, arrived here Monday, and
the following morning the, work of
driving a row OF steel sheet piling
IN front Of the Bayou Lafourche
dam was begun. The piling is twelve
ASSSs tIAi CC-o1AlSGi4tuS vi OLA
inch thick, and forty-eight feet long,
consisting of three 16-foot sections
welded together Three hundred
pieces will be used, giving a solid
steel wall across the entire width
of the dam at the toe of the en-
bankment. Being corrugated, the
piling when tapped fits together snug
ly, and should prove effective in
atopping the copious flow of seep-
age water through the dam, which
has been a cause of concern for
some time.
The work of driving the piling
is being supervised by Assistant
State Engineer j. F. Villavaso on be-
half of the Lafourche Basin and At
chafalaya Levee Boards, which or
CARNATIONS will defray the expense
of the undertaking. Commissioner
F. B. Lemann OF the Lafourche

A fine rain fell Thursday night and
will prove Of inea1culable benefit to
all vegetation, particularly cane, corn
and truck. The high winds Of the
early part Of the week, coupled with
the warm sunshine, had caused the
soil to become dry and caked, and
the crops were making no Roadway
whatever. They have been given ex-
eellent cultivation, and now that
thy drouth has been broken, should
soon make I'D for lost time.
