old Scrvian frontier to the new Greek

TECHE WATERS.

The drought Of this summer, to.
gether with the heavy demands
made upon the Teche waters for
irrigating the large areas OF rice
planted this season along the
banks Of the bayou, have reduced
the waters Of the Teche to their
lowest possible level, barring an
extreme low tide along Iberia's
Gulf coast. For the past three
weeks or more the Teche has
maintained q steady up stream
tl0w, maintaining the bayou's le
vel and replacing the water drawn
out by the great irrigating plants
above this place. Absorption
and evaporation have tended to
accentuate this backward flow Of
the Teche.
At the Keystone locks, on the
upper side, the water Is between
two or three feet below tho crown
Of the dam at the beginning Of
this week. The use u the locks
has allowed = considerable amount
of vster to escape into the lower
bayou. Evaporation and absorp-
tion have done the rest. The wa
ter flowing from Lake Tasse Tor
Spanish Lake, as 1t is better
known) through the Keystone
canal has not been sufficient, 1t
seems, to maintain the level above
the locks. Bayou Fusilier was
diked, to prevent the Teche wa
ters escaping into the Vermilion
river; therefore, the Fusilier feeds
but little water into the Teche.
We have been informed that
when the upper Teche waters are
on level with the crown Of the
Keystone dam, there Is barely Q
two-foot stage at Arnaudville.
This practically offers no impedi-
mens to the drainage Of the low
lands east of the Teche and above
Cecilia. The scheme to build a
levee from the Courtableau south,
along the west bank Of the At
chafalsya to a point east Of Cell
liza and then westward to the
Teche ridge will create q great ba
sln of nearly three thousand acres.
The lowest level in this proposed
drainage basin is in the south east
corner, and this level is Eve feet
above the normal level Of the
Teche water. The distance be,
tween the two points is about two
miles. These physical conditions
afford Q fair prospect for the
drainage Of that basin by gravity
through . canal emptying into the
TeOhe.
Within the boundaries Of this
basin will be several wide and
deep inter flowing streams, which
would admirably serve a. DRAIN
age reservoirs. Their surplus Va
tors would be emptied, through
the proposed canal into the Teche.
This extra amount of water should
assist In maintaining q flow in the
Teche q greater part Of the year,
and without embarrassment to the
safe carrying capacity Of the lat
ter stream. 1t certainly would
not interfere with any Of the other
contemplated improvements Of the
TAche, while the benefits OF carry
ing out such . scheme would be
many fold.

A new INDUSTRY.

Without blare OF trumpet or
heralding Mr.. Stephen F. BALE
has established new industry at
his sawmill on the east side, this
city. He has recently installed
the necessary machinery for turn
ing out implement handles and
employed turner. Samples OF
the first out put of the factory
compare very favorably with the
best standard products of the old
established mills Of anywhere. 1t
is to be hoped that the merchants
of this section will recognize the
merit Of Mr.. Hale's enterprise and
make q special feature of han
ding the products of hls factory.
Preparing for this work Mr..
Hale had a drag of ash logs towed
across the lakes and up the Teche
to his mill. When in six-mile
lake the tow was overtaken by a
wind storm. The tow was broken
up and scattered, before u harbOr
could be reached. causing the loss
Of some $50 of the trees. This
was a severe experince and entails
a heavy loss.
The Teche B0utte canal, had 1t
been In existence, would have
avoided this disaster. 1t would
have avoid Is per cent Of the risk
of towing through the lakes. 1t
would have reduced the time OF
the trip from three or four days to
eight or ten hours. 1t would
greatly reduce the cost Of the raw
material at the factory. 1t would
make smaller tows economical to
handle and would Obviate the ne.
cessity of making the tows un'
wieIdy in size 10 order to keep the
average expense per tree down.
It would foster such undertakings
as that Of Mr.. Hale, and 1t would
go a long way towards insuring q
profit from its operation.

TABASCO PEPPERS.
One of our Greatest Institu-
tions is rapidly Growing.

We have in this city one insti.
tuition which carries or sends the
name, "New lberia,' to more
climes and peoples than possibly
all others combined. Not only in
it's field broad and it's appeal di-
rect to the individual, but it is
employed in the name of a corpo.
ration whose product claims and
maintains the highest standards
of merlin class to itself-nni
formiy winning public favor
wherever introduced That in.
stitution is the New Iberia Ex
tract of Tabasco Pepper Co, Linn
tied. Its product Is Moss Green
Heart Tabasco.
Mr.. @. p. Moss founded this
business a good many years ago
in this city. In the beginning his
laboratory was established in the
dining room of his home. Months
Of patient labor were expended in
determining the preparation of the
various ingredients necessary to
produce the desired flavor, at the
same time preserving the piquant
qualities of the Tabasco peppers
and their many virtues, also pay
ing due regard to aroma and color
of the sauce. After accomplish
ing all these aims without sacrific
ing purity or violating any of the
State or national health regula.
tions, then came the task of intro
ducing it to the trade, already
stocked with the continents man
utactured by we'll established con.
Germs. One who has not had ex-
perience IN such an undertaking
can have but small! conception of
it's difficulties and trials.
AS the business grew in vol
ume aud Green Heart Tabasco
won public favor, the venture at
tracted the serious consideration
of a powerful competitor who
sought to clip the wings of the
New iberia establishment. These
efforts eliminated in an appeal to
the civil courts and finally a judg.
ment was rendered by the Su-
preme Court of this State, con.
deming the over jealous cOmpetl
tor to pay the New Iberia Extract
of Tabasco Pepper Co., Limited,
the sum of 90, 900 in consequence
of business ISLANDERS uttered.
With the growth Of the bust
ness the output of the factory call
ed for ever increasing pepper stock.
More growers had to be interested
in the growing Of the plant which
produces the TabascO pepper.
This year there are some 25 farm.
ers who have signed contracts
with the Green Heart factory for
their entire harvest. These farm
ers cultivate fields of peppers
ranging from 2 to 25 acres. Two
Of them are growing as much "a
25 acres, while others are attempt.
ing smaller patches Of 3 to 10
acres. The average yield per
acre is about, $50 gallons of the
peppers. The present prospects
point q $4,000 gallon crop, or
1000 barrels of the peppers that
this factory must take care of.
This factory, this year, has un-
dertaken, under contract, to sup
ply the Heinz people with their
entire stock of peppers. A mum
Der of other coDdimeDt manufac
turers of this country have been
and are being supplied with their
stock of picked peppers and pep
per pulp by the local firm. 1t Is
coming to be recognized that the
soil Of this parish produces a pep
per of exceptional strength and
most excellent flavor. All Of this
means a great deal to the pepper
growing industry Of this section.
