Village Improvement Chapter Of
Lesche.

Since my last report to you as
Chairman of your Village an
provement Chapter, | have much
more to report to you of the work
done by your Chapter than space
will allow in a paper like this is
expected to be, ! shall therefore
contine myself to a few portions
of the work done to date.
One Of the most unsightly places
in our City was the Rayine from
the bridge on End street to the
bridge OH Jefferson street. Under
the supervision of Mrs. Winstead
your committee undertook to clear
and clean this place so as to make
it suitable for children's play
ground, it was quite a difficult
task but so far the work with the
cooperation of the citizens on the
banks is proving successful and
| the Improvement attracts the at
tcntion of all persons who cross
either bridge. | must not omit
here to compliment the Asssyrian
and Italian residents who keep
| little stores and fruit stands at
and near the bridges and who re-
sponded promptly to the request
to clean up and beauty.
AS to the streets and other
public places find that example
and little persuasion with the
AUDITING property owners has
caused wonderful change in
their appearance. Once filled along
the sides with paper and other
ugly trash, they now present a
neat and clearly appearance, the
concrete sidewalks in most places
are daily swept, and the Munich
pal authorities seem to appreciate
the efforts of the citizens and the
main parts of the streets are in
splendid condition.
| A short time ago l conceived
the idea of forming a Civic Inn
provement League among the
children, they responded promptly
and I'D to date the result has been
the establishment of a small park
or play ground for children on

That Natchitoches is awakening
TO the fact that she must be up
and doing, is being more clearly
evidenced every day.
Her wonderful resources, fertIl-
ity of soil, varied timber. excel
lent water health, good
roads, paved streets, educational
advantages ETC., with her citizen
ship, unexcelled in those qualities
which 90 to make them the most
desirable, have been fully estab-
lished, but with them also there
rests grave responsibility.
A responsibility that rests upon
each and every individual who
should and must recognize it as a
sacred one, and whom it behooves
to maintain and build up from
that standard
BY individual and concerted ac-
ton we can advance and develop
this wonderful country of ours
and we think our people have
come fully to recognition of the
fact that unity of action in the
upbuiIding of a community is the
rock upon which we stand or
fall. And never before has OPP
portuLity knocked as persistently
at our door as she is doing now,
and it is being opened wide as can
be plainly seen by the many marks
of improvements that are going
on all around.
The building of the railroad
which puts up In direct communi-
cation with a new country. the
continuation of the paving OF
Front street. the good roads, the
training school building on Nor
NAL hiII, are among the matters
that have been interesting US
principally just at present and sew
. eralnew industries are in contem-
plation that will occupy our atten-
tion a little later.
And the passing of Sleepy Hol'
low will mark an epoch in history.

II believe heartily in federal
support and control of the levees."
said Congressman j. b. Aswell
Friday at the Monteleone Hotel.
'The States have done their
duty, and it is time for the federal
government to recognize the Mis-
sissippi levee problem as nation
nj question. Since the Ohio floods
sentiment was never before SO
favorable to federal support of
the levees
Il am not ready to commit my
self to anv of the several detailed
plans being considered The fed
eral government should provide
ample funds Immediately, say
$500, 600, 900, if necessary, to con-
troll the waters of the Mississippi,
and the President of the United
States should be empowered to
call the best engineers OF the
world To work out a practical plan
he should be authorized and di-
rected to assume the responsibility
with ample funds at his command
to make the great river safe from
overflow from its source to its
mouth exactly as the President
was authorized to build the Pana-
ma Canal.

when completed would make the
name of the President immortal.

disaster and Immediately upon the
passage of such an act by Congress
it would double the land values in
the whole valley bv restoring con.

After the sickness of the Nor

public was naturally aroused on
sanitary matters, especially the
cleaning up process, and your
committee rendered what assist
