THE TECHE WATERS.
n. |. Iberian.

gether with the heavy demands
made upon the Teche waters for
irrigating the large areas OF rico
planted this season along the
banks of the bayou, have reduced
the waters Of the Teche to their
lowest possible level, barring al
extreme low tide along Iberia's
Gulf coast. For the past three
weeks or moro the Tsche has
maintained . steady mp stream
flow, maintained the bsyou's level
and replacing tho water drown
out by the great irrigating plants
above this place. Absorption and
evaporation have tended to accen-
tuste this backward flow of tie
Tsche.
At the keystone locks, on the
upper side, the water IL between
two or three feet below tho crown
of the dam at tho beginning of
this week. The use of the locks
has allowed a considerable amount
of water to escape into the lower
bayou. Evaporation and absorp-
ton have done the rest. The wa
ter flowing from Lake Tssse for
Spanish Lake, as it is better
known) through the Keystone
canal has not been sufficient, it
seems. to maintain tho level above
tho locks. Bayou Fuselisr was
diked, to prevent tho Tschs wa
tors escaping into the Vermillion
river; therefore, the Fusslisr feeds
but little water iuto the Teche.
We have been informed that
when tho upper Tsche waters are
on Q lsyel with tho crown of the
Keystone dam, there is barely a
two-foot stage at Arnaudville.
This practically offers no impedi-
ment to the drainage of the low
lands east of the Tschs and above
Cecilia. The scheme to build q
lsvse from tho Courtablsau south,
along tho west bank of the Atchs-
falsys to q point east of Cecilia
and then westward to the Tsche
ridge will create a great basin of
nearly threo thousand acres. The
lowest level in this proposed
drainage basin is in the south cast
corner, and this level is Eve feet
above the normal level of the
Techs water. The distance be-
tween tho two points 10 about two
miles. These physical oondit ton
afford q fair prospect for the
drainage of that basin by gravity
through . canal emptying into the
Teche.
Within tho boundaries of this
basin will be several wide aud
deep inter flowing streams, which
would admirably serve as drain
ago reservoirs. Their surplus wa.
ters would be smptisd, through
the proposed canal into the Tsche.
This extra amount of water should
assist in maintaining a flow in the
Tschs q creator part of the year,
and without embarrassment to
the safe carrying capacity of the
latter stream. 1t certainly would
not interfere With any of tho other
contemplated improvements of the
Teche. while the benefits of carry
ing out such . scheme would be
many fold.

Alexanders father died before AL
erander was yeare old, and the boy
had to shift for himself. The family
was then living in Smyrna, and in the
next few years Alexander became
known as a guide around the city.
From sailors, business men, and tour
lists who visited the city Alexander
gained a smattering of French, Ital-
ian, Spanish, English, German, Turk
ish, Armenian, Greek and Polish, at
the same time retaining his native
Russian. He studied and increased
his knowledge of the languages.
When the officers and jackies of the
battleship Tennessee put into Smyrna
last year young Alexander acted as
guide to many of them. They told
him about the wonderful opportunities
in America and Alexander decided to
come here. He had little money, how
ever, so he slowed away on a ship,
but was discovered and landed at
| Naples.
There he stayed for several months
and spent his time studying Italian.
Later he made his way to Athens and
perfected himself there in Greek. He
made another attempt to get to Amer
lea, but only got as far as Marseille.
He stayed there for some time and
tried to perfect himself in French.
Early this year he was ready for
another trial and had saved enough
money to purchase a ticket to Amer

lands that bank job Alexander says
he is going to keep up his studies and
become an engineer. Then he is going
back home to Smyrna and build rail-
ways and subways like they have in

And so she of the violet eyes went
to the office and the H. S. NJ. said to
one of his assistants, "Oden, just give
the lady this desk, will you. She
would like to make an inventory Of
her jewels, which she just lost and
found again" And so she of the violet
eyes opened the lid of the leather
bound box, and these are what she
took out, one by one: One small
mirror, cracked; one rabbits foot, one
comb, one bottle of perfume, one pot
of rogue, one tube of cold cream, one
eyebrow pencil, one date book.

Why this is my tango vanity. All the
