Terre Bonnie Oyster Packers Asks
Relief.

The parcels post has been cutting severely
into the revenues Of the express companies and
these latter claim to have readjusted their
freight charges so as to successfully resist the
encroachments of the parcels post on their busi-
ness. In doing this they have reduced some
rates but have actually advanced rates in some
localities where longer distances interviewed.
Hon. Shelby Taylor, of Crowley. President of
the Louisiana Railway Commission. recently
visited Terre Bonnie Parish to study theaoyster
question and especially the matter of rates.
from the Houma Courier we learn some details
of MI. Taylor's visit. He seems determined to
get a square deal for the ,oystermen.
Recent ruling of the Commerce Commission
permitted the Express Companies to increase
the rates on packages over fifty pounds in
weight as Z sort of compensation for the loss in
business to the express companies caused by the
parcel post rates which completes the express
companies to lower their rates on small pack
ages. Mr.. Taylor met q number of oyster deal
ers and requested them to make q detailed
statement to him as soon as possible, wherever
there has been an increased charge on oysters

interstate shipments are only affected, IS the
Railroad Commission regulates the rates on
shipments made in Louisiana. The Commission
cannot compel the express companies to reduce
their old rates, on Interstate shipments, but MIR.
Taylor stated very plainly that the Railroad
Commission will take up the grievances Of the
oyster packers and bring them before the Com
merce Commission and make a fight before that

Meeting Of Plaquemines Parish DEM
ocratic Executive Committee.

60 HE2 &'yEH - tsE&SF 49,
The P%laquemines Parish Democratic Exccu-
tive Committee met at the Court House or We'd
nesday, March 4th, to act on the applications
for the nomination Of Democratic candidates for
the position'of Police Juror Of the eighth ward,
vice Hon. Dave Withan, resigned. There was
but one application, that Of Mr.. John Fink, and
he was unanimously de clared the nominee Of
the Democratic party as indicated under the
primary law, and his name was at once certified
to the Secretary of State.
The election was set for March 10th by
Gov. Hall after he received Mr.. Williams resig-
nation and under existing conditions it was al
most impossible to meet all the conditions of the
primary law and to get the ticket printed in
time. At this writing the results are not yet
announced but Mr.. Fink promises to be our
next Police Juror from the 9Th ward and he
will be = good one. We regret to lose our old
friend Dave Withan from this position, but he
insisted on resigning and it is the parish's good
fortune to get an excellent man to take his
place.

SATURDAY, MARCH IA, 1914.
Called Meeting of the Police Jury.

The Plsquemines Parish Police Jury met in
a called meeting in the Court House on Wednes-
day, March 4. 1914. President Fastening and
a quorum were present, and President Faster
ling announced the cause Of his call for this
special meeting which was first for tho purpose
OF submitting to the Police Jury the result Of
the recent inspection Of the shell road by the
advisory committee and by the committee on
the shell road maintenance formulated at Pointe
a la Hache on February 18, as already reported
in these columns.
On the suggestion of President Fastening
State Highway Engineer Atkinson reported to
Police Jury on the condition of the shell road
and pronounced it % per cent completed and
that the state engineers held in reserve ito in
sure the completion Of the road some nineteen
thousand dollars. Mr.. Ernest Jahncke, repre-
senting Mr.. Garsaud, the contractor for the
building OF the road, stating that his firm stood
behind Mr.. Garsaud, asked to be relieved Of the
large bond given to insure the completion of the
contract, as so little now remained to be done
and the report Of the State Highway Engineer
insured to the Police Jury the prompt compile
ton OF the road. He asked further that the
road be taken up in five mile sections as COM
pied. The Police Jury unanimously agreed to
these propositions, District Attorney Nunez
having written to the effect that it could be
done without impairing the she'll road contract.
Mr.. George Jurgens had pending an offer to
the parish for a lot of land in the third ward
near the lower limits of that ward and the Po-
lice Jury accepted his offer Of $500 for the same,
authorizing the President to sign the necessary
documents.
Sheriff Movers new hotel was in full opera
ton. The day was rainy and uninviting but
Pointe a Ia Hache looked quite city like with 6
or 8 big automobiles coming and going and
many people present to, attend the two public
meetings in progress.

MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR 1864
Held In The Lutheran Church, Chrjstiau-
sled, ST. CroIx.

The 8th Of May, a holy day in the Luthe-
ran Church for penitence and prayer, was
appointed rs the Ray on which services
everywhere 10 Denmark should be held comr
men oratiye Of 1864.
This was lone also here. In Christian
sted the Church was decorated partly with
plants and partly with many Inr9e Dame
brog flags, and the comfortable little Church
made an unusually testnl impression rs the
congregation assembled on Friday evening.
Nearly all the Danish speaking people in,
town were present-the Governor at the.
head aud the officials III full dress-besides,
several others.
The service commenced. by the singing of
q solo 'tSlumrer sodt Slesyigs Jord" by
Mrs. Fred. Leevy. For the rest the service
proceeded III the usual manper.
The Pastor, Rev. 7. Helweg Larsen, spoke
from Psalm lO2, V. 2428.
Few years, if my, have made such a mark
ia Danish History rs 1861. That which hap
pened OF tlat February night when the
army n.I ~ letreut from Dnnneyirke, was
that tive romantic castle of dreams which the,
previous generation had reared, at once fell
