appeared before the City Com
missioners and Bayou Boutte
canal committee which is com
posed of Messrs. E. F. Willard,
7. A. Landry, Edward Estorge,
John R. Taylor, T. Ashley, Fred
Decuir and M. w. Fisher last
Monday evening for the purpose
of having the committee change
the prospective route to Petite
Bayou instead of the aforemep-
toned route which was to con-
meet the canal within a distance
of two and a half miles from
Loreauville.
Mr.. Pharr, one of the first
speakers to address the Com
missioners and Canal Committee,
enumerated the advantages to
be derived for New liberia, If the
change in route as proposed by
them were to be adopted using
the Petite Bayou route which
would reclaim upwards Of 1000
acres of the finest lands in the
Parish between the corporate
line of New Iberia and the mouth
of Grand Lake and it would be Of
a greater benefit to the City from
a trade standpoint, stating that
the property holders of that sec
ton would, from what he had
been informed, organize them
selves into a drainage dis
trict and impose upon themselves
tax of $4,000 were the change
effected. The gentleman made it
very clear to his hearers that he
would himself get no direct ben
eft from the canal as he had cut
a canal at his own expense, WHICH
afforded his property sufficient
drainage, but the property hold
ers in that vicinity would be
benefited to such an extent that
he felt it his duty to interest
himself in their behalf. He was
then followed with such convinc'
ing arguments by Messrs. A.. A.
Theriot, v. P. Guilfoux and DR..
j. Arthur Goodwin that Mr..
John R. Taylor, a member of the
Committee made a motion that
the route be changed, which was
duly seconded and carried by the
members present.
Immediately thereafter the
country delegates repaired to
another part OF the hall and ap-
pointed committee to canvas
that Ward with a petition asking
for an. election. In all probable
ity the tax will be carried with
out a dissenting voice once. it is
put before the residents Of that
section. =, \

LESSNESS IN EARY
TRANSFERS.

A good many years ago in the
early days of the Central Pacific.
Charles Croker, the Pacific Improve
ment Company and the Contract and
Finance company gave to certain res
idents of various Nevada cities. such
as Verdi. Lovelock and Wells, deeds
to certain parcels Of land along the
railroads right-of-way. These deeds
however. do not appear to have been
based on any authority or conveyance
from the railroad company, and the
holders of the land in question have
never had clear title.
Recognizing a moral obligation in
the matter and to set at rest fears
the property holders might have as
TO the validity of their titles. the
Central Pacific Railway company.
through President W. F, Herrin, is
now doing all in its power to give
these property holders clear title to
the land in question. Voluntarily,
J
Land Commissioner B. A, McAllaster
is now issuing quit claims to the
land that the holders may be pro
tected as much as possible.
Under decisions of the United
States superem court, railroad com
pany has no power to sell or In any
way part with any portion OF the
right of way given by congress, but
this confirmation In the form of quit
claims is being given by the com
pany in the hope that legislation now
before congress will be passed to per
nit the deeds to become valid. In
Elko ,Carlin and Winnemucca where
property was transferred to individ
uals in the early days, the deeds were
given by the Central Pacific Railway
company SO II is unnecessary for the
company to issue confirmatory deeds
