With the exception Of some 400
feet in length Of line, located over
the upper half OF the bayou proper,
this work, while not yet completed in
all its parts, has progressed to a
stage OF comparative safety.
Over that part OF the line referred
to, the embankment at an early stage
in its construction gave evidence of
serious subsiding and sloughing, which
continued to such an extent as to
cause the state to satisfy itself for
the time being with its partial COM
pIetion, that is, to net fill, wide
crown, and such slopes as would
stand. and defer the facing or paw
ing Of the slope until the embank-
ment be brought to state of final
stability at the height and section de-

The work SO far performed under
this project has cost the state $780,
#015.01, and it is estimated that as
much as ss09s.44 more will be requir-
ed to complete it as whole.
While, in the opinion of the Board
of State Engineers the new work,
even as it now stands, should give
evidence Of corrective effects, pro
yided, OF course, that the source of
the sipage, ETC., were from the ri
yer, through the mouth of the bayou
proper, the fact is not borne out.
On the contrary, the sipage
through the older dam, and the activi-
ties of the boils on the slope and
banquette OF the dam, even at such
stages so far reached this year in
the Mississippi river at Donaldson
vile, are practically as great as in
the past for like stages, leading to
the conclusion that the source of the
trouble may not yet have been reach
ed. but must be sought, by investiga-
tion and research, in some other d.
rection. at this time pointing to con-
ditions possibly existing above Bayou
Lafourche, in the Atchafalaya basin
levee district.
It must not be snferred from this
explanation that failure OF the line
of protection across the head Of Ba-
you Lafourche is in any way more
imminent than heretofore. On the
contrary, though the conduct of the

DonaldsonviIle is Doing Things.

Several meetings of the citizens of
four parishes of which that city is
the central point have been held at
Donaldsonyil1e recently for the pur-
pose of promoting the better agri-
cultural development CT the region.
Organization has been effected, and
plans are being laid looking to the
advancement of the agricultural and
commercial interests Of the parishes,
with the ultimate object in view of
urging immigration and the use of
the unoccupied lands of the terri
tory. The idea uppermost in the
minds of the promoters of the pres
ent movement seems to be to prove
to the world that some of the best
lands in Louisiana lay in these par
ishes: that it is highly productive,
and that it is comparatively low in
price. Methods of cooperative mar
keting are also to be established, in
order that farmers who engage in di-
versified production may find a great
er avenue to profit. When these pre-
fiminaries are Instituted, it is be-
1ieyed that concerted effort to Sc
cure a desirable class Of immigrants
may be successfully put under way

Government Statistics S h o W
American Farmers Have
Room to Spread

Washington, Jan 17.-Preliminary
culture show that of the LAO, 900, 900
acres of tillable land in the United
States only q per cent is actually un-
der cultivation. The estimates were
based on reports from 80, 900 CORE
s%pondents scattered in every state. The
country excluding its possessions, con
tains about 1900, 900, 600 acres, of
which about so per cent is tillable.
This includes land already under cul-
tivation OF which may be brought
under cultivation by clearing, drain
age, irrigation, etc. Only 21 per cent
or 800. 900, 900 acres was estimated to
be of no use for agriculture, either now
or in the future; 10 per cent or 3D.
600, 900 acres in nontillable, but val
liable for pasture or fruits. Accord
ing to the census of 1909. the land
area in crops where acreage was given
was 81, 600, 900 acres. This is ap.
proximately 16 per cent of the totaI
land or about ~ per cen of the es-
timated potential tillable area.
''In other words" Jays the depart.
ment, "for every 100 acres hat are
now titled, about 375 acres may b.

TAX COMMISSION
In Madison To-Day in Session
With the County Com
missioners

The state tax commission, com pris-
ing III. c. Preston of Pierre. G. M.
Henry of Redfeld and Hugh Smith of
Howard, arrived in the city this morn
ing and have been in session with the
county commissioners during the day.
Since the assembling Of the county
commissioners in January session a
number of matters have been brought
to their attention pertaining to assess
ment of property for taxation in this
city and county. The assessments, it
will be understood, were made under
the new taxing system and largely
under instructions from the state tax
commission. and which is the first
assessment under the new system.
1t seems that taxes on farm property
levied on the full value plan are turn
ing out higher than previous years,
Notwithstanding the tax commission
set forth in their various instructions
to assessors and the public that the
actual value assessment would not be
the means of increasing taxation. in
| view of the fact that the percentage of
levy would be enough lower than un-
der the former system to maintain the
standard of taxation which formerly
existed. However well this theory
may have worked out in other counties
Of the state, it seems to have raised the
| standard of taxation in Lake county.
| Hence complaints. Another thing that
| co~nfronts the tax commission and the
| county commissioners is the matter OF
equalization, some taxpayers contend
ing that their property is listed al
greater values than corresponding
property of equal value. These are
the problems that confront the state
and the county boards in their de.
alterations today. 1t may he added
that the tax commission members are
in the city at the request of the county
commissioners whose desire is that the
taxpayers of Lake county receive equa'
justice with other counties in tn,
state at the hands of the taxing boarC
SO far as in their power lies. There
fore upon the development of condi
tions when they came together II
January session the commissioners re
quested the presence of the tax commits
sion in order that taxes and values b,
adjusted to the complete satisfaction
of taxpayers. The action of the tw,
boards will be- made public in duD
time.
Discussing the matter with a Dali,
Leader reporter this afternoon. Stat
Commissioner Hugh Smith stated tina
the state commission would not b
able to change present conditions il
this county. The levies have beef
made, tax list extended on the books
some taxes have been paid, and
change could not be made other thai
by a new .nent which is out o
the question. Mr.. Smith states tina
the state tax in Lake county is 50, so
less than last year, and this depart
ment of taxation is what the commits
sion is most concerned in. Loca
taxstion-town and county is depend
ent upon the assessors, and if mistake
have been made redress should b
sought through other channels tina
the state commission by refund
} through the courts or otherwise.
The problem is a knotty one an
} no doubt will cause more or less cor
, fusion. A number of farmers were i
: town today watching the progress {
proceedings.
